Place to seat near Manchester Airport without a car

Quick simple question

We fly in just under a months time and we are staying at the Radisson Blu at Manchester Airport, we won't have a car so I am weighing up finding something local or jumping on a train.

so would anyone be able to suggest somewhere to get something to eat that won't cost the earth

You can get taxis to the Airport Pub situated at the end of the runway, The Romper, situated near the Premier Inn's. You could also walk through the covered walk ways to the train station and jump on a train to Manchester City Centre (not sure of the cost sorry) where you can find lots of choice.

The Airport pub can be walked. It took us about 30 mins each way. It was half decent food, nothing amazing. Havent tried the Romper sorry but people on here seem to like it.

We had pizza in the Radisson Blu bar. Though cant remember the price.
I was half tempted to upgrade for the free food but we weren't there long enough.

We are staying at Claytons tonight just over the road from the airport and walked to the Airport pub for a meal. Took us about 20 minutes each way. Sat in the garden for a while at the edge of the runway watching the planes landing before our meal. Fair prices, lovely food and a really nice pub.

By the time you've paid for the train or a taxi I'd advise just using the Radisson restaurant or eating pizza from the bar. It's pretty good and reasonably priced. They also do room service. We did this once as the kids thought it was exciting (!) and it was pretty good too.

I would consider upgrading to a business class room so you can access the lounge. We did it last time and are also doing it this time as the canapes were lovely and so were the free drinks Although not free at all as you pay in the room rate but ykwim.

This is unless you have children as they are not allowed in after a certain time.

Your hotel has a restaurant.

If you don't want to pay the prices (it is reasonable) then you could take a supermarket picnic.
