Sat within an elegant grade II building that can be found on Thorley Lane in Manchester, just a stone’s throw away from Manchester airport, the Etrop Hotel makes for a fantastic stop off spot either before or after a trip away, as well as for those merely looking to escape those everyday trials and trials and tribulations. Be they staying overnight in one on their cosy bedrooms or just looking for a couple of hours of rest and recuperation in their exquisite bar and restaurant, all who enter are afforded a warm welcome.
Offering a more informal atmosphere in which to dine than the on-site restaurant, the Lounge Bar at the Etrop Hotel allows for a fabulous casual dining experience. This is further enhanced for Gourmet Society members, who are able to partake in all of the scrumptious dishes served at a superb discount, should they call in advance and produce their card upon arrival, and allowing for that little bit of extra cash for a beverage or two from the extensive drinks menu.
For the diner on the go, there are an array of sandwiches available that promise to satisfy. These include a glorious prawn and Marie Rose sauce number that is wonderfully contrasted by a delectable ham and English mustard combo, that work alongside a host of light bites, such as the scrumptious tempura battered cod and a flavoursome grilled goat’s cheese muffin, in a collection that is sure to provide a quick refuel before guests move on.
For the more indulgent visitor with a little more time on their hands there are also a number of larger plates to choose from. Particularly enticing examples of such can be seen in the quintessentially British beer battered fish, chunky chips and mushy peas, the tantalising Thai green curry, which comes complete with Jasmine rice and prawn crackers, and the refreshing superfood salad.
Considering the marvellous discounts, customers are encouraged to appease the sweet tooth with one of the divine desserts, such as the enchanting Eton Mess sundae and the rich chocolate brownie – ensuring that their meal is enjoyed to its fullest.
