Excellent vegan fine dining - Edit
This is the restaurant to take friends or family to if you want to impress them with vegan foodie fine dining. The food is immaculately presented with incredible flavours. I meant to take photos but kept tucking in too quickly!

Very Creative, fun, and delicous food - Edit
The food was excellent, between us we ordered one of everything (including sides) and it was all delicious. The prestarter/premain/predessert were unexpected bonuses, and each was unusual and delightful.

Impressive, Creative Food - Edit
I was so looking forward to visiting The Allotment, and it really didn't disappoint. It's quite different from other places in Manchester's vegan scene because it's all-vegan fine dining. The dishes are really creative and beautifully presented, and they taste as good as they look. The menu is so exciting and tempting that it's difficult to choose what to order.
Read moreFor starters, I had the apple&sage and my partner had the winter garden. Both had really food flavours, though general consensus was that mine was better. The mains were equally good: taste of the sea and cheese and onion. And for dessert the lemon cheesecake and black sesame panna cotta were both excellent. Usually after this kind of meal you don't expect to feel full, but we were actually very well fed.
The restaurant has a really nice atmosphere, and service was really friendly too - we enjoyed it so much.
Of course, it's a little expensive, but I think it's good value for money when you have a special occasion.
Pros: Delicious food, Excellent service

Fine dining at chain restaurant prices - Edit
We went to The Allotment for my daughters birthday and had the Sunday dinner which was £25 for 3 courses. The staff are lovely and welcoming and very polite. The food was amazing! You get hummus and veg sticks while you wait for your starter, but because its the allotment it was pumpkin hummus and beetroot sticks and it was yummy. Starter was soup of the day which was cococnut and ginger and perfectly seasoned, warm and perfect portion size. For main we had the aubergine roast dinner. I have to say I am not a fan of aubergine and The Allotment hasnt changed my view, but the rest of the meal was amazing, the best gravy I have ever eaten! My daughter didnt want the roast dinner so she chose courgette cannelloni which came with hummus and pesto and she adored it! She couldnt finish it all (she has a long term illness and small appetite) but this was no reflection on the cooking. The server came and spoke to her to check that she was satisfied with the dish because she left so much, which was very nice. Before dessert we had pre-dessert of strawberry and coconut cream which was very nice. My daughter had carrot cake dessert and tried desperately t finish it all, but was once again defeated. I had the brownie with sweet potato icecream. It was to die for! So chocolately and rich and that icecream! Who knew you could do such things with sweet potato?! Wonderful! We will be back.

First class gourmet vegan food - Edit
The Allotment is one of a kind in the Greater Manchester area. Superb, fine dining vegan food created by a very talented chef who has worked very hard to make this restaurant happen and provide a new offering for vegans and 'foodies' in the region. Do come if you appreciate creative, gourmet food, that is about the experience, flavour, and attention to presentation and detail, and you're happy to pay for that. Don't come if a Wetherspoons 2 for 1 meal deal is your idea of splashing out on dinner. Personally, I think this restaurant is one of the greats.

Stunning Vegan Sunday Dinner - Edit
My Husband and I have just returned from the most sumptuous 3 course Sunday dinner at The Allotment, Stockports new gem. The service was fantastic and always with a smile, whilst the restaurant itself is smartly decorated with a touch of homeliness about it. The entire meal was flawless and delicious. I could have happily swam in a pool of the mushroom soup, it was ridiculously good. Also, sweet potato custard is a revelation and one I will be eternally thankful to you for! I've struggled to eat out in Stockport for as long as I can remember and I can't express the sheer happiness I felt sitting there today in a busy, bustling, fully vegan restaurant in a town where I've always felt like the odd one out. Gone are the days of trekking to Didsbury or Manchester, this is where you will always find me from now on :)
