10 Best Breweries in Wayoh Reservoir

"Unusually colourful (its orange banquettes and Perspex back-bar give it a look of a 1980s Top of the Pops set), this Dale Street tap-house serves a mix of quality guest beers (Wild Beer, Mikeller, Burning Sky), and Beatnikz’ hop-forward brews, such as I Smash Citra and Generation IPA. The weekday cask ale deals are notable (recently pie ‘n’ a pint £5, Mon/Tues), as is Beatnikz’s ability to bag high-profile guests for its meet-the-brewer events. For instance Arbor Ales and US star Modern Times. Pint from £3.70, beatnikzrepublic.com"

"Beatnikz microbrewery is located in a railway arch in the Green Quarter, and their taproom used to be too. But they closed it last year and moved to a shiny new bar in the Northern Quarter where they’ve just introduced a beer slushie machine. Head in to enjoy their core range of beers."

"The mullioned windows, stone flags and thick walls of the ancient inn – deep-set in stunning scenery of the Yorkshire Dales and close to Bolton Abbey – drip authentic character and the great long bar in the taproom is a welcoming rallying point for tired walkers and hungry guests. The hotel’s fires, snugs and carpeted little rooms may flirt with the chintzy on occasion, but they provide the perfect places to retreat and relax with views over the river and up the fells. The restaurant is a pleasure to eat in; with oak floors and panelling, a log-burning stove and, in places, views of the river, it’s a great spot to enjoy locally sourced dishes."

"Why: This restaurant is nestled in a back ally off Soap Street, and at first glance it may not be the first place you’d think to find somewhere good to eat. However if you do decide to venture down to This & That you’ll be met with a range of curries that change daily, all paired with rice and priced at £6 or under. On the menu you can choose from a selection of lamb curries, daal or chicken as well as interchangeable dishes that vary daily."

"The terms ‘Manchester institution’ and ‘hidden gem’ are bandied about a lot, often undeservingly. This place is worthy of both descriptions. Serving authentic Indian curries, the classic This & That order is a “rice and three” - your choice of three curries heaped on a bed of rice for around a fiver."
