Chorlton Green Brasserie

137 Beech Road, Chorlton, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, M21 9EQ

This place has a relaxed shabby chic about it. Lots of wood and exposed floor boards.

Sadly the Sunday Roast I had was not to my liking. Maybe the chef was having a bad day? The beef was good - a generous slab of meat cooked perfectly. We were asked how we wanted it cooked and I went medium. I know, I know, I should have gone rare. Always go rare.

The "twice roasted potatoes" looked the part but were dry, oily and lacking fluffiness. What’s wrong with once roasted? The roasted carrot and parsnip were fine, but where were the greens? A bit of broccoli, cabbage, peas or beans wouldn't go amiss. If not on each plate, then a bowl for the table to share. Stingy.

The Yorkshire pudding was a great size and shape, but overcooked and burnt in places. It was lacking any bounce and was dry, possibly due to being kept under a heat lamp for too long.

I was pleased to see the gravy was in your own personal jug, but it was too thin for my liking and lacking any real flavour. Bisto would have been an improvement.

My parents enjoyed their poached fish main course. I should have followed suit, but I find it impossible not to choose a Sunday roast.

The staff were friendly and helpful throughout, no complaints there. I’m sure their regular menu is good, but I just wasn't impressed with my meal.
