Best Lunch Restaurants in Alderley Edge

"Continuing a theme of Coffee Spots in glorious Victorian shopping arcades, I present Pot Kettle Black (PKB), which has been gracing Manchester’s coffee scene since the start of October 2014. The Barton Arcade, home of PKB, is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen and PKB takes its lead from there, with gorgeous external features and some of the most ornate and sumptuous window art there is. Stepping inside, PKB is one of the most beautifully-appointed coffee shops I’ve ever visited."

"Well, we think you should venture on down to Pot Kettle Black located in Barton Arcade. Whether you want to fill that hole in your tummy, or just need your coffee-fix, this place has got you covered. Let their talented Baristas make you a cup of coffee that will take you to beverage heaven."

"Pot Kettle Black serves an impressive menu of breakfast fit for any breakfast lover from 8 am – 4 pm. Awarded the best tea and coffee shop in Manchester, it’s also a great place to go if you just want a coffee. You can get breakfast here from just £6!"

"Half hip café, half hip design store, Fig + Sparrow may have only been around for a few years compared to the Northern Quarter heavyweights that surround it, but it’s one of Oldham Street’s most beloved stores. In summer, the crowded outdoor tables may lull you into thinking that it is simply a café, but inside you will discover a myriad of carefully selected items for your home or for gifts. It’s also one of the best places in the area to find greetings cards and wrapping paper."

"Just a block down the street from the mighty North Tea Power, and a few steps along Oldham Street from its junction with Church Street, is relative newcomer to Manchester’s coffee scene, Fig + Sparrow. Established in 2013, it’s half life-style shop, half café, but 100% excellent. Serving an espresso-based menu using beans from London’s Climpson and Sons, with guest filters on Aeropress and Chemex, plus loose-leaf tea from Newcastle’s Ringtons, Fig + Sparrow also does food."

"Another city centre spot perfect for working in, Fig + Sparrow is incredibly warm and welcoming, with some outdoor seating allowing guests to take in the hustle and bustle of city life. Serving up top-quality coffee that they sourced from the North East, Fig + Sparrow also sells gifts and design products, too – a great little touch to the cosy independent cafe. Fig + Sparrow, 20 Oldham St, M1 1JA."

"A fantastic cafe with a couple of locations in the city, Federal was founded by an English and Portuguese couple that have created an Australian-Esque brunch experience. The sexy vibes and laid back culture make federal a perfect way to spend a couple of hours on a rainy Manchester weekend. They have an extensive breakfast and brunch menu which includes a wonderful mix of great homemade food and coffee from Ozone coffee roasters in London."

"Making a name for themselves on the local culinary scene, Federal has become a brunch favourite for tourists and locals. If their photos featuring delicious meals won't bring you in, the nearly 5-star rating across the board should. Open daily and serving all-day brunch, this is the place to visit if you get that breakfast craving."

"Federal Cafe is best known for their weekend brunches when customers cram in and queues are often out the door. Their coffee though stands on its own as one of the best cups in the city. Throw in great cocktails and there really is something for everybody here."

"Bill’s in Spinningfields is celebrating Shrove Tuesday with a brand new pancake menu, available to order from 21 February to 1 March. The inclusive menu is perfect for both vegan and non-vegan pancake fans – with both sweet and savoury options to chow down on. This year’s menu options include sweetcorn pancakes with eggs, feta and avo, roast tomato and black olive vegan pancakes, classic lemon and sugar, banana and salted caramel, white chocolate with frozen berries and ice cream with chocolate sauce."

"Why: Traditional breakfast dishes grace the menu at Bill’s, with a full English and stacks of pancakes featuring. For something a little healthier there’s a whole section on eggs (yes, including of course eggs with avocado toast) and a garden plate which includes eggs, roasted tomatoes, charred peppers, smashed avocado, mushrooms and more. Where: 8-12 John Dalton Street, M2 6JP"

"Open from 7am, the brunch menu at Bill's is suitable for breakfast meetings and drawn-out boozy sessions alike. With a menu that includes all the classics (from fluffy pancakes to perfectly poached eggs), a morning spent here is a guaranteed solid choice."

"Lying above Dovedale, and a short distance from Mill Dale, as Peak District pubs go, few are better positioned for a meal after a walk in the surrounding hills. Here you’ll always find a selection of real ales, a tantalising wine list and exceptional food, as recognised by The Good Food Guide, Michelin and Sawdays. With authentic beams and characterful quarry tiles underfoot, crackling log fire and a warm welcome for walkers with muddy boots and their four-pawed pals, it feels familiar – an old haunt."

"Situated just along from the Arndale, this Northern Quarter cafe is perfect for a healthy shopping break. It features all of our favourite kinds of healthy food, such as banana bread (well, it does contain fruit), smashed avocado and French toast. It’s also ranked 11/1,752 restaurants in Manchester on TripAdvisor, so we really think we’re onto a winner with this one!"

"Having conquered Northern Quarter with their Aussie-style brunch bowls, Federal has opened another charming spot in Deansgate. Expect the same easy breezy vibes, alongside healthy plates that include a winning banana bread."

"City-centre favourite Federal offers an all-day brunch until 6pm, as well as a range of sandwiches, bagels and amazing coffee. We recommend The Turkish Eggs. View this post on Instagram"

"One of the best places to eat pizza in Manchester, Proove is a firm choice for alfresco dinners in the warmer months. Get stuck onto freshly baked Neapolitan slices in their cosy terrace space on a chilled out date or long-awaited catch-up with pals."

"Born in 1995 and taking place every Saturday at Mint Lounge in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter to a consistently full house, Funkademia is said to “feed a friendly crowd with a diet of pure unadulterated soul-funk”. Billing the night as a “chronological history of soul”, there is a collective of talented DJs taking you on a journey through four decades of the very best soul, funk, disco and hip-hop, with a touch of smooth R&B and big house classics. You can find out more about Funkademia and grab tickets here."

"Mint Lounge goes so hard on the smoke machine that if you part with your mates you'll never find them again - but low visibility is soon forgotten once you hear the sounds of its legendary Funkademia club night. Funk, soul and disco are blasted out at this Northern Quarter institution every Saturday, and have been for donkeys - it's Manchester's longest-running club night. 'Seated sessions' started a couple of weeks ago but the Funkademia dancefloor will be back on Saturday July 24."

"Renowned for a ‘no nonsense’ approach to clubbing, Mint Lounge is a sticky-floored student staple. Its nights range from Drum n Bass to cheesy pop. There is something for everyone and plenty of cheap drinks."

"A garden oasis nestled in Hardman Square, book a table for up to six guests (subject to availability) for the beautiful covered and heated ground floor terrace at The Ivy Spinningfields from 12 April and watch the world go by as you savour their seasonal specials and show-stopping serves. In addition, indoor reservations for the brasserie, roof terrace and glamorous late-night restaurant and bar, Ivy Asia, will be available from 17 May."

"The Ivy's roof garden is one of the most glamorous places in the city, perfect for celeb-watching. Opulent fabrics, masses of plants and a retractable roof (plus essential heaters) make it an luxurious hangout in all weathers. You can order from a huge menu of food, including afternoon teas and brunches."

"Health food eatery and juicery, The Garden in Hale has a range of vegetarian and vegan all day brunch dishes like buckwheat pancakes and chia flax porridge, as well as sandwiches, salads and veg-packed bowls. Order via Uber Eats and Deliveroo."

"There for the Baking lives up to their name: their passion for cakes comes first!. The bakery is spearheaded by Viv – a passionate baker with a sweet tooth!. They are extremely accommodating of special orders, especially when it comes to dietary restrictions."

Toppings include Biscoff, Chocolate Orange, Oreo, Banoffee, Black Forest, Lemon Meringue and Jammy Dodger. Visit their website for details on how to order: cheesefake.co.uk/shop."

"The ‘Pemberley’ film location for the BBC production of Pride and Prejudice, National Trust Lyme Park offers a magnificent estate surrounded by wild moorland, 17 acres of beautiful gardens, and a deer park. Dating  as far back as the 1400 and oozing with Edwardian interiors, the grand hall offers plenty to explore from the library to the stag parlour, and there’s even an opportunity to dress up in the wardrobe department. I Opening Times: Times vary depending on the attraction."

"Be sure to visit Lyme Park in the nearby village of Dysley, which is a huge Tudor building. Authentic England at its best."

"Location: Intu Trafford Centre, Barton Square Bridge, Stretford, Manchester M17 8AS.
