Fun tour with fabulous food that brings the history of the area alive - I did the Northern Quarter tour with friends and it was fab! The tour started on time and took us through different parts of the Northern Quarter concentrating on the history of the area and using food to illustrate it. Brilliant and innovative and most importantly a whole lot of fun! Great tour guide

A Must-Do Food Tour in Manchester! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I had an incredible experience on this food tour in Manchester with Britta! From start to finish, everything was perfectly curated—we got to try some of the best food in the city while learning about its rich history in a fun and engaging way. Britta was an amazing guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and full of great stories that made the experience even more special. Every stop on the tour was a delight, featuring delicious bites that showcased the diversity of Manchester’s food scene. From local favorites to hidden gems, every dish was a highlight! Not only was the food fantastic, but the mix of history and culture made it a well-rounded experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Manchester (or even locals looking for a new perspective on their city). Thank you, Britta, for an unforgettable time! Would 100% do it again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had the BEST time on this food tour! - We went as a family on the Ancoats tour. It was just the best! Rob is a great guide - funny, interesting, knowledgeable - and just such a lovely person. We had some great food in places we hadn’t been to before, despite knowing Manchester pretty well, and found the history of Ancoats really fascinating. All in all a memorable few hours enjoyed by us all. Thank you Rob!

Would give 6 stars out of 5 if I could - I got two tickets for my girlfriend's birthday, to try new things. We took the risk and it was worth it, because the experience was 6/5 stars. The tour guide was amazing. She was full of knowledge and interesting trivia about Manchester's history and food scene. The food itself was good, but I personally appreciate the social aspect of it, so I'm writing this review in hope that more people get to know Scranchester and their offerings. My partner took all the pictures so I can't sadly send any from my phone, but if you're a picture person, have a look at their Instagram.
