Feed General Store — Restaurant in Stockport

Feed is one of those rare places that not only delivers on real quality soul food (organic, local, prepared in house/home baked) but is one of those places that whilst being all of that isn’t pretentious or clicky or something that’s not realistic for families wanting to enjoy lunch or breakfast together. Its a bubble you can feel welcome in, relaxed and confident knowing your gut will be looked after and that’s all introduced to you by a wave of freshly baked aromas smacking you in the chops as you walking through the vintage bell door. Mmmmmm : ) I eat out a lot and feed is just a place that brings it. Not only on your plate but to your other 4 senses. I spoke with the owners who unbelievably not only do the baking and cooking themselves but run the establishment and have ventured into this on their own ... for the first time ever. That alone is impressive. It was refreshing to hear their story and how determined they are to make it a success not only for Feed but for the people and the village they serve. The decor and aesthetics create drama but are still warm and very easy on the eye and the smell of coffee alone is something that is needed to organically perk you up nicely ready for the day ahead. The cakes and cookies will blow your mind and tastebuds, All baked fresh that Morning too as I’ve seen through the windows walking my dogs. (Oh yeah and dog friendly) The menu is not huge but realistically when stock is so fresh proper eateries never seem to over compensate the menu. The selective and well conducted dishes always and confidently speak for themselves. Seriously. I am so happy you came to the neighbourhood and have become my local. For a foodie who is quite picky and sensitive, you have no idea what this...

Wow what a place! We’d come up to Manchester for a family funeral and were staying in the area. We didn’t get breakfast in the hotel deciding to sleep in. I googled to see where to get an all day breakfast and this place popped up, so we decided to try it before driving back down south. We loved the restaurant as soon as we walked in. It had a great atmosphere and a divine coffee smell. I’m really picky about my coffee and this didn’t disappoint, gorgeous flavour! It’s obviously a really busy place and we were very lucky to get a table. 10 minutes later they we’re turning people away because they were up to capacity on tables and a food wait time of 30 minutes. We ordered a full feed and a veggie feed. We definitely shouldn’t have ordered chips to share as well, because the breakfasts were a great size. I must admit we did wait over 30 minutes, but it was absolutely worth the wait when it arrived. I always say that good food takes time and this was seriously good food. It was all locally sourced and completely made from scratch, it looked and tasted delicious. The flavour of my pan fried greens were out of this world and to have homemade beans was such a treat. We were able to pick up a couple of boxes of eggs to take home too. We will be recommending FEED General Store to all our family and friends in the area. It’s a great little find. I would suggest you book a table not to be...

This was my third visit to Feed since moving to the area and unfortunately, it will likely be my last when it comes to food. I decided to try their Sunday roast this time, but it turned out to be a major letdown. While my partner enjoyed her meal, my experience with the roast beef was disappointing enough that I ended up leaving the entire meal.

The beef was tough, undercooked and had the unappetising appearance of something that had been sitting under a heat lamp for too long. The roast potatoes were equally underwhelming — dry and stale, as if they had been prepared the day before. The greens were burnt and the gravy was watery and flavorless.

To their credit, the staff did ask for my feedback and offered me a free dessert, which I declined. Instead, they gave me a complimentary cookie and removed my partner’s drink from the bill. While I appreciated the gesture, I would have preferred if they had addressed the real issue — the £20 I paid for a meal I couldn't eat.

Sadly, this experience has solidified my decision not to dine at Feed again. The coffee is still great, so I may return for that, but as for the food, I...
