Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Mawdesley

"The Ivy's terrace made headlines for all the wrong reasons when a fire broke out there just a few months after it opened. It hasn't happened again since though, so you're all good. This bougie London brand is still going strong, despite the pandemic, and its views of the ever-changing skyline are worth a visit even if you can take or leave the food (see Gordo on scathing form when he reviewed The Ivy when it first opened in Manchester)"

"With three sprawling levels that include a traditional brasserie, modern Asian bar and stunning rooftop space, there's plenty of choice at The Ivy. Nab a spot at the Spinningfields favourite and indulge in all-day dining with alluring cocktails to match."

"An iconic celebrity haunt with beautiful and bold interiors, a retractable rooftop and downstairs bar of gorgeous green decor, The Ivy is an Instagrammer's paradise. If you're looking for pretty food, they've got it."

"Home Sweet Home is doing half-price pancakes today, to celebrate what is 'basically their Christmas'. Their stacked pancakes - three piled on top of each other - are served with cinnamon crunch, maple syrup and whipped cream as standard. You can then add banana, Nutella and salted caramel; or fresh berries, compote and frosting."

"This place really does feel like home, or rather an American Grandma’s home. It’s Grandma in the USA, in Manchester. Floral wallpaper, little framed pictures dotted on the wall, the smell of fresh baking; you feel welcome as soon as you step through the door."

"From the makers of Altrincham’s Market House food hall, this city-centre spin-off corrals a similarly stellar lineup of traders (burger and steak stars Tender Cow, Honest Crust, Pico’s Tacos, New Wave Ramen, Mumma’s Fried Chicken) into Mackie Mayor, in the Grade II-listed former Smithfield market. Look out for irregular special events, such as dinners on 1 and 8 July with hotly tipped Manc pop-up Higher Ground, creators of the already-legendary oxtail madras pasty. No bookings, outdoor seating available, app-ordering, currently card-only."

"This is a cosmopolitan food hall in a beautiful Grade II listed former market building, on the edge of Manchester’s famous Northern Quarter. It’s the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and/or drinks!. Along with a handful of food vendors, there’s a coffee shop and wine bar within the hall – so in fact you could spend a whole day there without stepping out from under the amazing glass roof!"

"Then you need to head to Mackie Mayor to sample a variety of options. This brick-walled food hall features vendors that boast tonnes of food offerings. With long, communal dining tables, you can bring your entire group of friends to enjoy an entire morning of delicious food."

"Why:A Bavarian beer hall in Manchester might not scream breakfast or brunch to you, but this venue in fact houses its very own bakery, meaning fresh bread and pastries whenever you visit. Each day brings its own unique artisan loaf, with the weekends being reserved for an olive and thyme fougasse on Saturdays, and Sundays seeing a roasted fig and hazelnut loaf on offer. For a sweeter start to the day indulge in a morning bun which is made from croissant dough doused in cinnamon sugar and hot chocolate sauce."

"One of the most traditional Instagrammable places in Manchester is Albert Schloss. Albert Schloss has a fabulous storefront decorated with Wisteria and I can guarantee you, that you won’t miss the restaurant, as there is always a group of people taking photos of this incredibly beautiful Instagrammable restaurant in Manchester. Albert Schloss is a German restaurant as you might guess from the name, so expect the German menu and some really great desserts."

"One of the wildest restaurants in Manchester, Albert's Schloss doesn't slow down for anyone or anything. Not only can you hunker down for big meat and even bigger Bavarian beer, but also table dancing, entertainment, in-house bands and jaw-dropping antics almost every night."

"A coffee shop that has gone from strength to strength since its opening in 2014, Pot Kettle Black has two locations in Manchester – including Barton Arcade and Spinningfields. The coffee shop is inspired by our friends in Australia and New Zealand, taking pride in coffee culture and experimenting with only the best beans in the game. The chilled coffee shops bring a welcome summer vibe to the city, and if you’re stopping by, we highly recommend you try their bakes too."

"This boutique coffee house situated in the beautiful Victorian building, Barton Arcade, is owned by Rugby League’s Jon Wilkin and Mark Flanagan. The core coffee PKB uses for standard espresso, Piccolo, Flat While, Latte and Cappuccino is Workshop’s ‘Cult of Done’. Prices start at £2.30 for an espresso, rising to £3.50 for a cup of one of their exclusive filter specialities."

"Set up by two St Helen’s rugby players, PKB is forward thinking coffee house with a health-conscious edge. Owners Jon Wilkin and Mark Flanagan run a tight ship, with staff serving up an impressive range of brews. Andif the caffeine hit isn’t enough to wake you up in the morning, they also run PKBlasters workout sessions - an energising workout to start the day,"

For £43.95pp you get over four hours of partying, sharing chips and dip, a brunch dish of choice, performances and games, and ninety minutes of bottomless bubbles!"

"A laid-back bar and restaurant, the Banyan Tree creates a menu of international dishes using local produce. With comfy sofas, booth areas and vibrantly decorated walls, it is a bright and contemporary venue serving an exciting array of food and drink."

"The food at mi casa su casa is fantastic, service is excellent. 05/06/2021: I was visiting blackpool for a couple of days and researched ahead before hand due to having to make reservations ahead of time. Mi casa su casa was rated highly and we love tapas and haven't had it in such a long time we was really looking forward to it."

"The restaurant enjoys a great reputation among locals and keeps drawing return customers. Cuisine served is Mediterranean with an emphasis on Spanish. The menu features a vast array of tapas, including classics like tortilla and patatas bravas."

"Like your brunch plates to come with a side of bottomless fizz?. The Pen & Pencil is the restaurant for you. Oozing New York vibes with its industrial decor, this spacious eatery is keeping bellies stuffed with comfort food classics, plenty of bubbles and a choice of breakfast cocktails."

"The collections at the Grundy Gallery boast an eclectic programme of historic and contemporary exhibits, housed in a beautiful Grade II listed Edwardian building. The collections feature the work of both established and emerging artists from the UK and abroad, as well as historically important works loaned from major UK institutions and objects from its own permanent collection. The gallery aims to cater to a wide audience with an ambitious and varied year-round programme that draws on the unique and invigorating context and heritage of Blackpool, for instance exploring the space between contemporary art, entertainment and popular culture."

"Take a break from the entertainment and enjoy some art at the Grundy Art Galler. More than 100 years old, it displays artists from the UK and all over the world, both emergent and established. Mminutes from the promenade, the gallery regularly hosts special exhibitions, with volunteer guides on-site and audio tours available."

"A post shared by GrundyArtGallery (@grundyartgallery) on May 20, 2017 at 6:48am PDT. A trip to any town is not complete without a visit to its local art gallery. In Blackpool, the Grundy Art Gallery is a place worth visiting."

"as the name would suggest, our last suggestions may not ‘geographically’ qualify as Blackpool…… but its right on the boarder (basically, on Blackpool Airport..and has a Blackpool postcode….. which makes us wonder if they’re just being posh by putting ‘lytham’ in the name lol) and one which a lot of you will pass without knowing on your way into the town. Just off Squires Gate lane is located the Lytham Spitfire Centre. For a fiver (per adult – kids £3 ands under 10’s free!!) you can look around the centre and see some of the spitfire restoration going on plus….."

"Located at Blackpool Airport, and constructed for the RAF at the outbreak of World War II, Hangar 42 was home to various RAF and Polish Squadrons, operating night fighter cover for Preston and Merseyside Docklands. Today, it has been transformed into a visitors centre and retains many of its original features from when it was active. A dedicated team of volunteers portray life in the RAF for both air crew and ground crew during those desperate days of World War Two."

"Visiting the Football Museum in Manchester is a must, regardless of whether you’re a football fan or not. Honestly it beats me that the museum is free to enter, given how elaborate the exhibits are. The museum covers the social history and cultural journey of football becoming a global phenomenon, and everything is very lucidly explained and displayed."

"Manchester is renowned for its football, the giants of Manchester City and Manchester United call the city home. Naturally then, so too does the National Football Museum. Some of the footballing world’s most important artefacts are here."
