A lovely bar and lovely staff, spoilt by the manager or owner (?!) He went out of his way to undermine the other staff, including talking over them/for them when they were dealing with customers. All in a passive aggressive manner. Very unprofessional. Expecting the staff under him to work on their break but making it clear he was NOT to be interupted during his -"see you in an hour!" (He shouted twice) and then proceeded to sit on edge of the bar to eat is meal whilst lecturing staff before his important vape session. We were not impressed and other customers looked uncomfortable picking up this weird vibe also. It's a shame.

Another of the cashless society cafés, which won't accept cash which is perfectly legal tender here in the UK (at time of writing this). I went in with a friend for coffee and hot chocolate and were told to find a seat and wait for someone to come and take our order. After our very simple, two drink order was made, we had to wait for a lot longer than it should take to make two simple drinks, which were lukewarm when they finally arrived. We then had to pay by card, as they do not accept perfectly legal cash in this brown-nosing the New World Order, café. We won't be coming back!

27/06/23: not much has changed although the atmosphere was better this time. We enjoyed the Milk Stout and Schoffenhofer: Watermelon & Mint radler.Sat inside whilst the weather was a little temperamental. Archie (not related) enjoyed his lunch! 08/01/22: quite disappointed with service from Mary & Archie. Had hoped for good things. Was quite busy when we arrived, but a few tables inside and a good few around the side as we entered. Whilst looking at the Craft Ale board, we were told to sit down and order via the QR code. Within a few seconds whilst still trying to decide on what craft ale to have someone else then said to take a seat. We did. Outside. Scanned the QR code and what I'd chosen wasn't on the list. Tried to catch the waitreses eye, but she averted gaze and carried on serving towards the entrance. We order a quick half of a different drink and moved on. Heating outside is potentially good, but only 2 buttons to turn on the infrared lamps. Each table should have a button, as opposed to one button servicing 3 heaters on the left and the other button for the 3 heaters on the right. Approximately 10 covers at the side and as table were quite close together, it would have been rude to keep asking someone else to press it. Our drinks took a little time to come, but tasted great. Service was terrible, rushed and too busy to welcome nee guests. The craft ale board looked quite good, but not represented on the QR menu, which also failed to load initially. As part of the Chorlton Ale Trail, I'd probably overlook here next time amd put it down to a cafe, as opposed to a craft ale stop, where good service and sampling is a must.

This bar is a very authentic bar/restaurant which, if you are around; you should go to. They have a wonderful selection of drinks (alcoholic and soft drinks) and with a nice foundation, which it has, it serves a great spot to stop in the local area. We had drinks and food, both of which were good and also were complemented with a friendly atmosphere, which welcomes guests and makes you feel at home. For starters, we had houmous which was smooth and creamy along with nice bread. Additionally, we had the salt and pepper deep fried cauliflower which was booming with flavour and in terms of cookery, it spoke to the customer a good start to what could be a great meal. For mains, there was the aubergine burger, which is often something to be afraid of in the case of mushy aubergine which doesn't hold its shape and turns into a metaphorical mud pile of a burger. However, this burger was not that. The aubergine was crispy, and everything complemented eachother. I had the chicken burger which was crispy and cooked well. One very important thing, that this restaurant did, was seasoning the flour which would dredge the chicken. This allowed for a very good flavour and didn't make the pickled overpower everything else. The tacos that were served were very good, with a good balance of everything in the dish. However, there was a fair amount of residual oil left over. Along with this, the pickled cucumber could have been fresh if I were to be pedantic which meant that the dish, with a few tweaks can be a delicious dish. Finally, a lamb wrap. This was well formulated and well executed and flavours worked well overall so no complaints there. Overall Mary & Archie is a very good bar to stop if you are in the area; with very good service and our waitresses were absolutely lovely. The foods great, and the atmosphere aswell which makes this a good find. Also family friendly and holds quizzes on some days. Photos down below :)

We were looking for a local place for Sunday lunch and came across this place online and decided to give it a go as the reviews were excellent. It was a bonus that you do not have to book in advance, you simply turn up and it's first come first served. The beef Sunday roast was excellent! Pure perfection on a plate...generous serving of perfectly cooked meat with amazing and tasty trimmings as well. The peas, brocoli and leek were so delicious and don't get me started on the mash. They also have a great selection of beers, wine and spirits. The cherry on top? It was very reasonably priced too and we got a table straight away. We'll be back for sure!
