Albert's Shed, Manchester

We went there and had a very nice meal at a price which was what I would expect from this standard of Restaurant. The food was of an extremely high standard, both in taste and its presentation by the chef.

The standard of service was what I would also expect, (having worked as a waiter for a number of high profile hotel chains whilst at University), in terms of attention paid to the customer and speed and efficiency of service. This was a last minute booking so as a result, I can say that even a request for a table with a good view overlooking the canal side was also something that the staff did their up most to arrange.

Over all, I would certainly recommend this restaurant to other people, as not only was the food and service exceptional, but the surroundings made this an ideal place for a special occasion.

There was about 6 of us and a couple sent there food back because it was cold but on the whole we enjoyed the meal. We each had three courses with wine and the bill come to about £45 a head. I would definitely recommend them!

We went to Alberts Shed on a recommendation and found it very nice indeed.

The restaurant is set out nicely with very comfortable chairs and lots of space around you.

We were seated and our drinks order taken straight away and whilst we looked at the menu we ordered a Rosemary and Chili Pizza Bread to be going on with.

For starters I ordered the Duck Liver and Port Pate and my Husband ordered the Ribs. Both were nice but this is where we missed the bread basket as my Husband needed bread to mop up the sauce from the ribs and I ran out of toast for my Pate.

For our main meals we ordered Steak Diane and Pork Belly, both of which were very nice and plenty to fill you up. We also liked the fact that in with the cost of your Main Meal you can chosse any 2 side dishes, I ordered Chunky Chips and Creamy Leeks topped with Parmasean and my husband ordered the Spring Onion Mash and a Rocket Salad.

All in all we found Alberts Shed to be very pleasant, enjoyable and not too expensive at all and although it is a 20 minute drive for us we will be going again as there is the added bonus that they do have a car park.

The Calamari at Albert's Shed was layer upon layer of lemon and the churning of the ice-cream somewhat inconsistent, keep up the good work boys but there's still a long way to go.

Located next to Duke's 92 in Castlefield, Albert's Shed is a lovely little Italian restaurant with a mouth-watering menu and pretty decent prices. I wanted to go out for pizza somewhere I'd not tried before and my other half found some good reviews of this fairly new Manchester eatery on the internet. It's a modern looking restaurant with a decent wine list, a pretty varied range of dishes from traditional pizzas to the ever trendy hoisin duck and sweet chili chicken ones, alongside the usual pastas and risottos and some steak, chicken and fish mains that looked (and smelled) fantastic enough that we will definitely be returning. The dessert menu was magnificent as well, my chocolate ice cream tasted homemade and made the perfect finish to the meal. Also to be praised was the service which was prompt, but not hurried and very attentive as the waitress appeared every time our wine glasses needed refilling from the bottle.
