Best Dinner Places to Eat in Ince-in-Makerfield

"What: Rooftop restaurants are a rarity in Manchester and rooftop restaurants with outdoor space even more so. Praise be for 20 Stories then, which offers a sleek and expansive outdoor terrace which benefits from sweeping views of the city. Something of a sun trap on sunnier days, guests here can top up their tans while tucking into a homely terrace menu which includes the likes of a fish finger sandwich, shepherd’s pie and a bao bun stuffed with Korean fried chicken.Where: No 1 Spinningfields, 1 Hardman Square, M3 3EB"

"20 Stories rooftop terrace is famous across the city for its stunning 360 ° views of Manchester’s skyline. The perfect spot for a girls night out, the terrace restaurant is open for bookings for food from 12th April, with walk-ins if you just fancy a drink. Oh Manchester 😍 #ILoveMcrpic.twitter.com/0mtxlqNrTy"

"20 Stories has been taking bookings ahead of reopening, but has also made the decision to hold tables back for walk-in services at its cocktail terrace from this week, so you can find menus, opening times and more information via the website here."

"For small plates and spot-on cocktails, pay a visit to Maray on Bold Street. The buzzing vibe starts here in the afternoon and carries on well into the evening, as friends cosy up in the intimate restaurant digging into burrata, roasted cauliflower with pomegranate and lamb koftas. Arrive early for a seat at the bar and order the Whip Royale – a concoction of cucumber gin, prosecco and fragrant lavender, or keep it classic with a gin and tonic, each perfectly paired with a garnish."

"If you’ve been missing your shawarma wraps and spicy dishes dearly, fear not. Maray is the spot for you. Throw in some disco cauliflower (its coated in harissa, tahini, chermoula, almonds, pomegranate seeds, parsley and paprika), bhajis and harissa buttermilk chicken for sides and there you have some cracking lockdown grub available to ease you through the boredom."

"It’s become such a major part of Liverpool’s culinary identity it is strange to think that Mowgli has only been around for five years or so. Mowgli is all about how Indians eat at home and on their streets, serving healthy fresh food. In addition, the Mowgli Trust has raised nearly three quarters of a million pounds so far, donating to charities including Claire House children’s hospice and The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity."

"A dish that makes you really sit up and take notice, Mowgli's Nisha Katona credits her mother for inspiring this pimped-up Indian delight. Green chilli dressing, coriander and Indian pickle transform a humble British staple into something quite special at Mowgli on Bold Street."

"Located on Bold Street is one of the city’s most beloved eateries; Mowgli. Inside you’ll find Indian food, but not as you know it. Remove every predisposition you had and head down for some chat bombs and Himalayan cheese on toast."

"Bundobust is many things (craft beer haunt, Indian street food hangout, veggie restaurant) but it sells itself as a ‘beer and Indian joint’. The basement bar is filled with casual, communal tables that encourage interaction with fellow punters, and has a relaxed order-at-the-bar system that keeps the crowd mingling. The food menu is all about vegetarian Indian street food."

"Indian street food and craft beer bar Bundobust is a shining gem amongst the restaurant chains of Piccadilly Gardens. Venture down its wooden stairway and you’ll be met with a sprawling food hall, complete with casual canteen-style benches and a glorious glass skylight. Don’t expect a typical Indian menu though."

"No1 Canal Street is, as the name suggests, situated on the famous street that bares this restaurant's name. No1 combines the best British-inspired dishes with an extensive wine menu to match. This restaurant is a perfect combination of great tasting, high-quality traditional dining with affordable prices."

"Head down to Canal Street where this award-winning restaurant is serving up the goods every weekend from 11am to 4pm. Treat your hangover to Eggs Royale and few glasses of bubbly one Saturday and see if you aren't hanging around after for when the cocktails come out."

"Jenny’s Bar is a testament to what a true speakeasy bar should be. Situated within the legendary Jenny’s Seafood Restaurant on Fenwick Street, this 1920s-inspired establishment is a dastardly den of debauchery reminiscent of Gatsby-era New York. Velvet curtains, palm leaf ceiling design, stained glass windows and eccentrically-dressed barman make Jenny’s a surreal cross between a flapper’s hideout and a disco dive."

"Sharing an entrance with Whisky Business’ on Fenwick Street, Jenny’s Bar is a stylish, well-established drinking venue tucked away down near the waterfront. This moody subterranean drinking space has an elegant yet retro feel to its decor. With green and gilded walls, lush velvet curtains and intimate booth like seating."

"The Trafford Ecology Park is tucked away in the industrial Trafford Park behind an oil depot and is a registered Biological Important site and a true oasis of wildlife. The park is spread across an area of eleven acres and is a true delight for a nature enthusiast."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. Tucked away from Warrington’s main town centre, where you will find all your standard high street shops and some small independent boutiques too, you will find Woolston Park. A wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning or sunny weekday after work, Woolston Park is a much-loved spot by local people."

"Key to the redevelopment of the Ropewalks quarter of Liverpool, and catering for the needs of film and art lovers since 2003, FACT was founded on a remit to "use the power of creative technology to inspire and enrich lives".

It also operates passenger services from Preston Riverside to and from Strand Road Crossing."

"Housed within an impressive, Grade II listed building, VG&M is known for its collection of the work of wildlife artist, John James Audubon. Once you've checked out the art gallery, the museum has some curiosities worth taking a look at too: the National Pipe Archive and a display of dentures through the ages – not your average collection of artefacts.

This variety of exhibits is bound to inspire everyone and teach you something about almost everything!. The Victoria Gallery and Museum aim to give visitors a unique insight into the curiosities from the 127 years of the University of Liverpool."

"Situated in a stunning, red brick terracotta building, Victoria Gallery & Museum houses collections focusing on the 120-year history of the University of Liverpool. Take the Tate Hall Museum for example, containing a rare selection of dentures from the Dental School collection as well as early x-rays, fossils, skeletons and a whole lot more. VG&M is definitely one of the more interesting pit stops in a tour of Liverpool."
