Tapas, Turkish, great pizza (Neapolitan, New York style or Roman?), fine fried chicken, Lebanese, smart bistros, superlative Indian street food, Mexican, modern European…
What we’re trying to say here is that Chorlton has options for days when it comes to a great lunch or an even greater dinner. You’re spoilt for choice, in fact.
Head to the busy centre – for so long known as the ‘Four Banks’, now two banks, a coffee chain and a carpet shop – or down to the village-y atmosphere of Beech Road, and try to narrow things down.
The very best of luck to you…
