    For some months I have been looking for the perfect roast pork Sunday roast. I found it on Sunday 15 December 2024 at Volta in Didsbury. Will be back soon.

    Great venue, lovely staff, good quality food for reasonable price. Only small recommendation is that the dips should come with flat bread without having to pay extra.

    Great food and service as always, we had the Sunday roast and couldn’t fault it. It’s still up there as one of the best Sunday roasts in Manchester for me.

    Food is always excellent at Volta!! This eve the place was busy with pre-Xmas parties which made for a good buzz. Service is good. Choice of small plates for veggies is good. We perceive that prices have risen recently but I guess that’s just what’s happening…. Thanks for a good evening

    First time as new to the area. Food was excellent, very tasty. Small plates but packed with lots of flavour. There were 6 of us for lunch, we went for a mix between the daytime offer and from the main menu. Value for money was spot on. I have been to lots of Tapas places but I would definitely recommend this place and will definitely visit again at some point!

    Disappointing today unfortunately. We were there a couple of weeks ago and it was excellent. Food was cold and the meat was meagre. My daughter also ate there today separately and was also very disappointed. Maybe just a bad day
