The Courtyard Cafe — Restaurant in Manchester

Manager rude, unhelpful and impolite. We stopped here for coffee and a cake, it's always lovely home-cooked goods. I asked the lovely young server if it was butter cream or fresh cream in the Victoria sponge, she asked and said it was clotted cream. I said good I don't like butter cream. When it arrived it was butter cream, so I told her this and she offered me a different dessert but I didn't fancy any of the others. She then came back and told me I couldn't have my money back but she could offer me a brownie. I said no thanks I had checked first would she like me to speak with the manager. An irate looking lady came out to tell me the young girl didn't know what was in the cake. I explained I had asked first, she again told me it's not her fault she didn't know and said she'd give me a brownie. I said I don't want a brownie. She huffed and walked in, came back gave me my money and told me it was an honest mistake she is only 16. No need to tell me 3 times, the mistake hadn't bothered me as much as it had you. I was not angry and irate at all that was you. How rude can you get, fine example to set to your young waiting staff, it was you getting her all flustered not...

Popped in today after a couple of years, and it was nice to see they have updated inside and added more to the menu. I will be coming back for an afternoon tea next time for sure. The staff are helpful and friendly. Unfortunately all they offer as an alternative milk is soy (soy allergy-closely linked to dairy allergy), and no alternatives for dairy allergy sufferers, but that's the case in most small business cafes I've been in. The same for gluten allergy. Seating is ample, offering outside seating and table waiting. Just a short walk across from the playground, park, golf course and tennis courts it's placed really well. They also have wheelchair and pram accesability and toilets. Prices are less than your big chain coffee shops, around £1.30 for a tea and £2 for a americano. Ice creams and take away option also available. Overall enjoyed our visit, just a shame about the lack of...

Probably one of the worst experiences of my life, got a large breakfast and a mega breakfast.

The Large breakfast consisted of 1 Sausage, 1 rasher of bacon, 1 egg, half a tomato and some beans. Luke warm at best

The mega breakfast consisted of 2 of everything above, again luke warm.

Now id love to know what planet those class as A) Large or B) Mega

No black pudding, no mushrooms, no hashbrowns, all in all the breakfast is shocking and not worth £5 & £5.50

The cups of tea, dear god...honestly iv tasted some bad teas in my life being a builder but this one tops the lot. The milk tasted like it had been stored in a dead cows arse, the tea bag itself resembled something close to a mummys ballsack even before it went in the cup.

A grubby overpriced establishment i have no intention of ever going back if my life depended on it. Literally had to wipe my feet...
