Customer Reviews
I discovered The Molly House one afternoon in Manchester — by pure chance — and what followed was a genuine revelation. As a former chef myself, well-versed in fine dining, it’s not easy to impress me — especially with simple ingredients. But here, simplicity was elevated to perfection. Every dish carried refinement and heart in equal measure. The food was spectacular: slow-cooked pork cheeks that melted into pure bliss (among the best I’ve ever had), tender roasted chicken infused with garlic, delicate shrimp pearls bursting with flavor, crisp breaded green olives, and soft white cabbage dressed with pesto and paprika — which unexpectedly became my absolute favorite, even ahead of the pork cheeks. It was my Ratatouille moment — that rare instant when taste and memory collide, when a meal becomes an experience. In a new city, I didn’t expect to find such warmth and authenticity, both on the plate and among the people. The gentleman behind the bar took his time to explain every beer with genuine enthusiasm and deep knowledge — a small gesture that made a big impression. My heartfelt thanks to the chef and the bartender for their care, passion, and dedication — you turned an ordinary afternoon into something truly special. The Molly House isn’t just a place to eat or drink — it’s where hospitality, craftsmanship, and soul meet. Thank You! Sincerely Constantin
Awesome Tapas bar. With wonderful hosts and staff. The food was amazing. The drinks flowed and a great time was had, thank You so much for fitting My Wife and I in at short notice. Will definitely be returning ❤️
This was a fortunate find - I was looking on the interwebs & found The Molly House. Oh. My. Giddy. Aunt. Not only were they incredibly accommodating of my weird coriander allergy, they actually went out of their way to modify a dish for me. The staff are friendly, funny & knowledgeable, and they made excellent recommendations. The food is fantastic - every dish was simple food, done brilliantly. Will definitely be back. Thank you.
