The food was great and the service was really good. Rubel was very helpful and friendly. 10/10 would recommend, definitely would come again. Also skip the full English and get the cheesy steak and hash.

Had the afternoon tea here and it was amazing! The food was delicious, and I couldn’t get enough of the cheesy hash - it was the ultimate comfort food. Even though I’m not usually a fan of salmon, the smoked salmon waffles were a surprise hit. The service was fantastic too—staff were super friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. The cosy vibe adds to the charm, and I loved how relaxed it felt. Definitely a spot worth checking out. Can’t wait to return for another round!

I had a fantastic experience dining at this restaurant. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, but what really stood out was the excellent service we received from Kay. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. It’s rare to come across someone who genuinely enjoys their job and goes the extra mile to make customers feel valued — Kay did just that. He definitely made our visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

Just delicious! So where do you do for a tasty lunch, great service and lovely staff? I have the answer...Fress. You've seen their gorgeous photos of dishes on your feed but still not got there. Make it a date! Great choices on their extensive menu, reasonable priced and the food was sublime! My friend and I shared a delicious chicken burger and fries with homemade coleslaw, then the most fluffiest pancakes with pistachio cream and white chocolate...omg, yum! Lovely service too, definitely planning another visit soon :)

Fress is one of my favourite brunch spots in Manchester! The food was absolutely delicious — full of flavour and beautifully presented. I went for the steak and eggs hash and they were delicious. The place has a great vibe and the staff were amazing and super friendly too big shout out to Rubel. Can’t wait to go back and try more from the menu!
