Youri McAnespie Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) Paedo Greggs* and a bench in Piccadilly Gardens... As a choice of 'wine' may I suggest a can of Spar's White Ace drank concealed in a discarded McDonalds paper bag? *As in one of the heirs to the Greggs fortune is a convicted paedophile, and in no way to suggest any other noncey involvements by others involved in Greggs.

jules_darby Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Done a few afternoons in Hawksmoor - good food but not amazing atmosphere. If not arsed about that get the private room for maybe 6-8 people? Schloss is a half decent bar but nowhere near "Posh" and the food is very average. San Carlo still one of the best afternoon atmospheres, Picolino's Grand Cafe a good afto vibe too. It's not in the posh category but only just under it. New Grand Pacific is ok but limited menu, Australasia is a set menu for fair size parties as is Tattu but both upper end. El gato Negro is a good afternoon shout actually Shame Manc House, The French and Coopers shut post lunch about 2pm and Rabbit in the Moon is evening only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 If you want posh, look no further than Gaucho. It'll test your budget. We went there the other week. Food was absolutely stunning. But like jules says I can see it being quiet in the day, we caught it just right, pretty quiet when we got in there but got busier. Like spider says it will test your budget alright ....jules where was that tapas place you sent me down a side street off deansgate? That was ace that place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enzo gambaro Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Wonderful place Bad hygiene report recently? They had some bother with rats getting in a couple of years ago but apparently sorted it pretty quickly. They're reet again now. Great place for sitting at the bar with a bottle of wine.
