POT KETTLE BLACK Barton Arcade

Very busy place, we queued for about 30 minutes to get in just before 12pm on a Sunday. It was worth it though. Lovely food and great, friendly service. Payment is card only and it's table service. It cost around £45 for two hot drinks and two breakfasts.

A really cool, trendy Cafe. Very modern, food and coffee look good & tastes great! We sat inside & the music was a tad loud, made it hard to hear each other. The food & coffee came out reasonably quick and as anticipated, it was delicious! However we did wait 40+minutes to get our bill. We were initially told the service charge was optional, to then having to pay it as it was part of our bill. It wouldn't have bothered me as much if the service was more attentive and present to our table.

I was really excited to try their food after reading all the nice reviews. The food was indeed delicious, one of the best plates one could have for brunch in Manchester. However, if you have only one customer at the table and they order a coffee and a dish, you don't spill half of the coffee without saying anything about it and bring the dish at least 25 minutes later. The food was good but it wasn't good enough for me to put up with the terrible service. The coffee was good, maybe it'd be a better idea to get coffee only and leave. Also, inside the restaurant it was extremely loud so either bring a pair of headphones or prepare to get a headache from all that noise.
