Fusion Plate Altrincham — Restaurant in Trafford

We came today to get some lunch, the place was relatively quiet and the staff seemed friendly. We ordered a mushroom salad bowl and a chicken meal, alongside some drinks. We waited around 15-20mins for the salad bowl, but the chicken hadn’t turned up. We were then informed they had mistaken the order and made the wrong food and had to start again - no biggie this is a simple mistake, it can happen - but when the chicken arrived around 20mins later, it arrived without the rice we had paid for, and without fries (we weren’t charged for these despite asking for them and understandably none were served). The chicken was fully plain, no seasoning, no rice, just chicken on a plate. For £10. The salad bowl looked pretty until you went a bit deeper and saw browning leaves, tasted burnt seeds and realised the avocado was bruised and mushy and browning. The cutlery was also marked and quite dirty. We tried to eat as much as we could to be polite but it was difficult… honestly it was a really disappointing meal, especially for the price. I understand that this is a small business and I don’t want to be cruel, it was just a really stressful experience and I don’t want others going in with the high hopes that we did based on the other reviews. No hate to the staff, everyone was smiley, I hope other experiences are better than ours. Other dishes may be...

The owners of Nerd are lovely and welcoming people and the staff are always helpful - nothing seems to be too much trouble for this lot!

Food is fresh and tasty, the selection of soft drinks is unusual and appetising (Soda Folk - I approve!), the smoothies are packed with flavour and the cakes are to die for.

Gaming selection is varied with stuff to play for all abilities. There's low-weight party games sat next to casual games sharing shelf space with classics and modern must-haves. Their kids game shelf upstairs has an amazing selection of stuff for younger gamers or family groups, too.

We'll be sure to visit Nerd more often - they have a few games we don't have in our own collection and a couple of set-pieces that we'll enjoy getting use out of but have no space at home to own (the new Heroquest and Klask being two that come to mind. Seriously, try Klask - it's hilarious fun).

Nerd have organised game nights and organised Role playing dates. If you're looking for a place to get fed and play games, Nerd could be the...

I ordered a butternut squash soup which sounded delicious and was then disappointed to seeing the girls in the cafe open up a tesco tin soup to heat up for my meal, this was really dissapointing, I tried the soup and it was bland and had to send it back, unfortunately, didn't get offered a refund. The advertisement of the food makes everything sound made from scratch and healthy/fresh so it was very sad to receive a tin of tesco soup heated up, and felt unhappy that I paid over £6 for tinned soup from tesco.

It also came with stale sourdough bread, and I had to eat this whilst my friend had ana amazing portobello Buddha bowl which looked fresh and healthy so this was very sad experience as I...
