Oxford Road Cafe Altrincham — Restaurant in Trafford

Mr Hanson I stated in my last review I would never dine here again. But my Mum loves your chicken and chorizo pasta and again hit the mark today.

But I ordered the pastrami on sourdough. Do you pickle your own brisket. Because it was so peppery it has made me vomit 30 mins afterwards it was peppery.

I have been pickling my brisket for 50 years now and is a favourite if your sister Claire’s from I used to pick up my niece from withington bc and Claire used come with us and Katie always expected a pastrami sandwich.

There is no need to use so much black pepper corns and must be slightly rare as well and sliced thinly. Only salt beef needs slicing thickly.

Now the coleslaw. Needs a more liquid dressing as the one I had was gloopy. Add equal amounts of milk to mayo and it is just enough to lube the slaw.

Weekends I’ll never dine again three times now and did not get what was ordered and I did my chicken wrap was cold my pal order wild Mushroom rissoto. Not a wild Mushroom in sight button mushrooms instead and tasteless. I ordered a side of curly chips did not arrive until I asked for the bill and they were cold and soggy. When they came with the main ordered there was also an order of French toast which was not ordered.

MR Hanson why is it at weekends is it nothing like...

Avoid!!!! I've deleted my previous five star review after the hideous experience I had at this cafe today.

The salad I was served had VERY old leaves in. They'd turned black, slimy and smelt like material from a pond. I felt absolutely sick to my stomach. I was so aghast, I didn't even take a photograph before I stormed to the kitchen to share my horror. The server smelt the leaves and was equally as disgusted. I've never smelt salad like this in my life. Horrific. I wasn't charged for the meal but it's inexcusable. I wouldn't return to this cafe if you paid me. VILE.

The kids meals. £5.95 for a baby bowl of pasta for a seven year old. See photo. The pasta was COLD. How they think they can serve a tiny bowl of pasta for almost six quid and keep a straight face. Some eateries feed kids for free, or for a discount in the holidays. This cafe is taking the absolute mick.

This cafe is awful. It went from five stars to zero (if I could). It's unforgivable.

Inexcusable and disgusting. Didn't charge me for my pond life meal, and reimbursed the drinks, but nothing can undo the absolute mess we experienced...

This is my go to place with friends & family. Service is always friendly and attentive. I have multiple food intolerances & this is one of the few places where the staff are truly knowledgeable about the contents of the menu. On occasion they have even gone and double checked with the kitchen if something previously ‘safe’ for me is still ok because the supplier has changed. For me the biggest pull is the covered outdoor area with heaters which makes it possible to enjoy a meal in safety; yes Covid is still very much around & some of us have been disabled by it (even though we look ok!). The last thing we need is further infection of any kind. It can get quite busy & despite the best efforts of the staff things can slow down; last time I was there, they made an error with my order which caused a delay. Olli was really apologetic and offered me a further hot drink on the house. Mistakes happen; we are all human; it’s how we take responsibility for them...
