Yes, we finished just in time for Holiday Wishes on the deck, then swapped through to the other one to watch IllumiNations in the distance, saw you as we walked past your table!

ah we arrived just before it started. I likely had a face on me, we had the worst server EVER, had to put in a complaint!

Only just seen this thread, so am probably too late - but I see you are going to the Refreshment port at Epcot for a Cronut - if it's not too late, say hi to Christian who is serving there - he's my brother!

A note on voting…

A note on voting…

ok before I start a quick note on voting. For each restaurant I’m going to rate it out of 10 on the “nom-o-meter”… yes that is a thing!

It's rather simple...

1 - nom
2 - nomnom
3 - nomnomnom
4 - nomnomnomnom
5 - nomnomnomnomnom
6 - nomnomnomnomnomnom
7 - nomnomnomnomnomnomnom
8 - nomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom
9 - nomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom
10 - nomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom


I will then score it on the following five points
  • Atmosphere
  • Quality
  • Presentation
  • Service
  • Value

I will also try and pick a best dish… if there was one!

For snacks they will just have a “nom rating” :P

ok so here goes…

The Brasserie at Bewley's Hotel Manchester Airport

The Brasserie at Bewley's Hotel Manchester Airport

I was pleasantly surprised, it was really nice! The tables were a little close together, I felt like I was sharing our table with the guy next to me, but the general feeling was relaxing and calm.

Sticky Chicken Wings



I didn’t get chance to take a piccie really! The first foodie pic and it was a complete fail, we’ll get into the swing of it though :P

These were nice, obviously not completely fresh as they arrived minutes after ordering, but certainly very tasty! I’m a bit weird in that I like my chicken overcooked and chewy… so these worked for me :P

Trio of pulled pork sliders, each with a separate sauce.



Again very tasty, the meat was very lean and the BBQ sauce was YUM! There was a mustard one which was a little strong but the other were tangy and went well with the pork.

Gammon and turkey roast minus the gammon, so basically just more turkey!



This was AMAZING! soon much nicer than I had been expecting and the veg was tasty to, lots of sprouts!. I always like it when it’s “proper” veg and it’s fresh, this certainly was, and who doesn’t love a yorkshire!

Sticky toffee pudding with dates and custard.



I had a little nibble and it was lovely and moist despite it’s slab like appearance.

COST
£50 including two glasses of wine & tip


NOM - O - METER SCORE
nomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom

SCORES
  • Atmosphere - 5/10 - The decor was nice but tables were far to close together, if you can, grab a booth and it would be much better!
  • Quality - 7/10 - better than pub grub. it was a bit hit and miss on the freshness thought
  • Presentation - 8/10 - everything looked great!
  • Service - 10/10 - staff were lovely, I couldn’t fault them. The host called me “young lady”… so it’s 10 out of 10 from me!
  • Value - 6/10 - not bad, it’s slightly better than pub grub so some things were expensive but it you get a “meal deal” I thought it was good value

BEST DISH
Has to be the roast!
