    My first experience of Volta's small plates menu. Absolutely wonderful. Lovely beers and great service. I will definitely be back and have no hesitation in recommending Volta as a place which provides a top dining experience which is excellent value for money.

    Delicious. However I don’t think the almost £7 service charge is quite fair. I know this could probably be taken away upon paying. We were willing to give a cash tip instead

    The food was delicious however we were disappointed because we purposely picked Volta as their website had a January deal that didn’t list only being at certain times and the Manchester confidential or MEN advertised it as such. Other deals were specific when they didn’t apply on a Saturday whereas this one said it was for January. We asked about the deal and were told it wasn’t on a Saturday and when we said it doesn’t say that on the website we were just quoted the times it does apply. The food was great it just felt like the advertising of the deal had been false and that tainted the experience.

    Food not necessarily worth the money. It’s good but for the price I’d expect a better dinning experience

    For some months I have been looking for the perfect roast pork Sunday roast. I found it on Sunday 15 December 2024 at Volta in Didsbury. Will be back soon.

    Great venue, lovely staff, good quality food for reasonable price. Only small recommendation is that the dips should come with flat bread without having to pay extra.
