Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in Altrincham

We come to Bowdon from London every few months and we make a trip to The Stamford every time we’re there for a family lunch / dinner. The food is exceptional, really very good and super fresh (especially the roast). The staff are always very friendly, nothing is too much trouble and the regulars are friendly and welcoming.

Lovely meal and such friendly service. Beautiful building! Very accommodating with our baby as well which is great as you don't always know what to expect when bringing a baby out with you but staff and facilities were great!

The kitchen clearly understands the delicate dance of heat and time required for a truly exceptional steak. My dining companion's blue, a whisper of sear on the cool, crimson heart, was precisely as requested – a testament to the chef's precision. My own medium-rare, a shade warmer, boasted a meltingly tender texture and a depth of flavour that spoke of quality cuts. The service, too, was a delight. Attentive without being intrusive, the staff demonstrated a genuine knowledge of the menu and a knack for anticipating our needs. Empty glasses were never left lingering, and their cheerful demeanour only enhanced the already convivial atmosphere. The restaurant itself exudes a certain understated elegance; the décor complements, rather than competes with, the artistry on the plate. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

I booked a table for Valentine’s Day around 5 months ago now and WOW this food did not disappoint! I got the carbonara whilst my partner got the beef ragu pasta. Although both were absolutely gorgeous (and definitely some of the best pasta I’ve ever eaten) I definitely had food envy from my partners plate haha! We started with the focaccia and trio of butters which was stunning, and I must not forget to mention how good the home made lemonade is!! As a huge pasta lover this is HEAVEN for me. I’d also like to thank our server (I’m unsure of his name but it was a young man with curly hair and a blue jumper) as he was AMAZING all evening. He was very attentive, explained dishes on the menu thoroughly and overall gave great customer service with a smile! Please ensure he gets the praise he deserves for this because I can hands down say that’s some of the best service I have received in years and that should be recognised!! Thankyou again x

Delicious food, generous 'small' plates and good choice for all dietary requirements. Table was spacious which was great when we were sharing plates. We have already been planning our return.
