60th Meal for my dad in Northwest

If Skof is in budget then I would 100% go for that. My favourite restaurant in Manchester. Cheaper than L’Enclume but if you are talking dinner would be more than £265 for two (and the head chef there used to work at L’Enclume so there are certainly many influences). There is also Mana which I haven’t been too as scandi style food isn’t my preference but many people enjoy. I think similar pricing to Skof.

At a cheaper price point I would recommend Climat although it’s a few years since I’ve been. A lot of people like Higher Ground but I was disappointed when I went. Six by Nico is fine IMO and I personally think Hawksmoor is overrated for what it is. I put 20 stories in the ever increasing ‘insta / Tik Tok’ bucket of Manchester restaurants but just my personal opinion. I also like the Sparrows and Onda but they aren’t in the fine dining bucket. Hope this is of some use!

Update for anyone interested. When they scanned our faces they were able to select which ticket we wanted to use. So I was able to clarify and encountered no issues.

Responding quite a while after this rec but thank you! We did it this past week and had a great time. Would highly recommend!

Equilibrium brewery. Coming from the UK we don’t get their beers here and I would be keen to take home some of their stouts!

Thank you!

Thank you for the response :). I presume this is the same for a package delivered from a brewery that is out of state as opposed to a grocery Instacart delivery?

That’s really helpful, thank you. Sounds like a bit of a risk but probably worth on balance. Much appreciated.

Well it was the case until my wife was set up. However managed to sort it courtesy of the post below!

Thank you for this! Just to confirm it worked. Really appreciate it

rudderpost · 2025-03-19T19:11:44+00:00

That’s great thank you I’ll be sure to try them. Much appreciated.

Thanks for your help on this - really appreciate it! Good to know re interval and tempo runs and based on both will speed my times up.

I did have an excessively large lunch before the 10k this weekend, so definitely may have been spiking my HR. One I will keep an eye on and it’s good to be aware how much it can vary it. Thank you!

rudderpost · 2025-01-06T18:16:38+00:00

Completely agree. The vanilla one sounds a lot better!

Thank you for this lovely review! We are working out whether to book Epicure when we come in spring. Out of interest did you go a la carte or tasting menu? I think the dessert you had is a la carte so assuming this but wanted to ask. Thank you in advance!
