Enjoyed a lovely dinner at Stow and everything was amazing. From the delicious food and amazing staff. Special shout out to Gemma not only for her service but helping curate the rest of our Manchester weekend with food recommendations! Can’t wait to back in Manchester but sad the sweetcorn ragu might not be on the menu

Edit (Aug 2026) We came back again for the 3rd time and the food and service was amazing! Kiera was such a delight. We had the Hogget and Cod fish which we would definitely recommend. The lobster flat bread and the courgette starter were also great. For dessert I’d recommend the strawberry parfait! So light and delicious! —— The food and service were both very good! I was most impressed by the Celeriac Pappardelle! I will definitely come back for more of that! Harvey and Charlie who served us were both delightful. It is quite pricy, but considering the quality of the experience, it was definitely worth it.

I have been to Stow a few times. It is, without a doubt, one of the best dining experiences in Manchester! I have sat at the chef's table and watched the amazing guys create outstanding food. The music choice is outstanding, and the drinks are superb. I cannot find a bad word to say.

Went to celebrate partners birthday. Staff are warm and friendly, really knowledgable about the menu and explained it was sharing plates and the dish sizes. Food was excellent.
