I can not recommend Folk enough - every time we have been the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. If you are looking for a Sunday Lunch this is the best I’ve had in the area, the beef is cooked to perfection with great home made roasties and horseradish with a kick! Get yourself there for a hearty Sunday Lunch!

  • Jay Lau

The new owners have taken the place to another level. Everything I've tried on the menu is spot on, fresh, flavoured and beautifully presented. Great atmosphere especially when the sun's out and the roof is rolled back. One of the only spots on Burton Road to catch the evening sun directly on the terrace too.☀️

  • Reveller H

Had a great time at Folk, the food was great, we got a variety of dishes some of my favourites, being the prawns, steak and Korean chicken. I also really enjoyed my cocktail and coffee! The service was a little slow as it was a busy Sunday afternoon when I went, but I’d definitely like to come back soon! More

  • Alex

Great place. Love the vibe and the music (brilliant rnb playlist). The veggie Sunday dinner was very good. The coffee is good too. I’ve also had the veggie breakfast previously and it was really excellent. Highly recommend that. Really nice outdoor area too. If I lived here they’d be sick of me. …

  • Phil

I come here all the time to work. The atmosphere is great! They have lots of booths at the back with privacy and plug sockets. Great for drinks in the evening as well especially outside in summer. The food is expenseive but good and the service is v welcoming, shout out to Mia for being a friendly face!

  • Gabby Evans

We had a gorgeous Sunday lunch for the family at Folk. The food was delicious, made better with the gorgeous sides too. Our waitress Millie was very good at looking after us too. What a lovely afternoon had by all. We’ll be back soon to do it all again. Thanks Folk you were great!

  • Si Vis Amari Bespoke Jewellers

Just what the doctor ordered! An epic hand crafted burger and proper homemade French fries to die for. Service is always attentive and friendly. Great ambience on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon after an eventful Saturday night thanks Folks

  • Gemma B

Ordered food and cocktails. We sat outside with was nice as it was 28°. Ordered the Korean fried chicken and foccaccia. It was really nice and filling. The cocktails were a little on the small side for me but they tasted great. I would come here again for food. More

  • annie francis

Great little place. Awesome vibe and out door seating area! Ordered way too much food!! But so worth it. However, the calamari wasn’t as crisp as I like and the batter was a tad light. Everything was lush and epic service, the lady was super lovely!! Will go back!

  • celine wrigley

The food was good although quite pricey for what you get. Service was slow but the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. My one criticism is when we booked a table we weren't informed it would be outside, despite having heaters it was freezing! More

  • John Donegan

A staple bar to visit on the west didsbury circuit. Staff are friendly and the food is ok although a tad overpriced. Lots of real ales on offer with some exotic cocktails to tempt your taste buds. Family friendly or somewhere you can enjoy a date night.

  • Brian Monteith

Popped in yesterday for lunch, around 2:30, great service, ordered 3 small plates, Focaccia was amazing, the Croquettes were amazing, and the chicken was F__king amazing, know what, even the fries were amazing, best spot on Burton Rd by a long shot.

  • Britney

Went on a Saturday after never being to Didsbury we came for the day to explore and decided on here as this was rated highly, we managed to get a table outside but inside was fully booked so would recommend booking if wanting to sit inside.

  • Leah

food was fine, nothing special but £3.50 for orange juice and £1.50 when subbing a fried egg for extra mushrooms on a fry up feels like a bit of a joke. main reason for poor review is service was daft. staff hovering around while NOT taking

  • Lorna Martina

Awesome place! Food was great and the staff were all absolutely lovely. We shared eggs Benedict and the veggie fry up - both delicious. Really nice decor and atmosphere. Love that they are dog friendly too. We arrived just after 11am on a

  • Justine Goldstraw

Folk never disappoints, such a great vibe always! I can honestly say it’s one of a very few bars that I have a good time either eating out with our five year or just a group of friends. The guys at folk know how to cater for all and they

  • Mostafa Ah

We were a group of 5. We were met with a shocking attitude from one of the waitresses to be honest. We sat down and were not given a Menu, weren't sure if we needed to order at the bar (I know we didn't have to before, when we've been a

  • Rebecca Fulton

The BEST Sunday Roast I have had for a long time! The veggie wellington is delicious, would defo recommend. I went with a party of 10 of us and all the food came out in good time. I am working my way through the menu and can't fault the

  • John Vaughan

A real gem! It was busy but we found a table - such a good atmosphere! The incredible food, fantastic coffee, friendly staff so much to love! We stopped by for brunch and coffee (which is up there with the best in the area) but I’ll be

  • Michal D.

I visited on Thursday night, the place was hot and stuffy and didn't smell very pleasant. I got charged £17.70 for a pint and was promised a refund. Still waiting for my money. Not worth a visit, a lot of better places in the area. More

  • Callum Macrae

Very busy, popular place. Service was slow, but it was peak 'brunch' time on a Saturday which was understandable. They could do with more heaters outside. However, the food was tasty and coffee was delish! Would recommend 8/10

  • Natasha Klymczuk

10/10! Always amazing food, great drinks and the staff are also fab. Folk is our new Sunday ritual for a roast. DELICIOUS. Great vibe and always a good playlist, no matter what time. Nothing negative to say about Folk.

  • gary harvey

Just been in today and ordered the cheeseburger and my wife ordered the eggs florentine with bacon and …..WOW!!! Probably one of the best burgers I’ve had !! Hats off to the guys there you are all doing a top job More

  • Ibraheem Choudhry

Can’t fault Folk on the quality of the food, the atmosphere and the wonderful ‘folk’ behind the bar and kitchen. Perfect for a morning coffee, midday brunch or a funky night! Folk is the place to be, don’t miss out!

  • Aziz Adil

Eggs Benedict was slightly cold, however the double cheeseburger was excellent. Prices on the higher side for the quality & portions given, but overall it’s decent. Not sure I would run back here though! More

  • Luke & Jessica Pollard

Exceptionally good food, friendly staff. Took a long time to get a drink (40 mins) - but the coffee was amazing when it came. Would recommend it if you’re looking for a great brunch at a casual pace.

  • Megan Dudderidge

Folk is the best spot! Food/drinks/coffee/music are top drawer. Staff are lovely, Adam as always was delightful :) I went in for brunch and ended up staying till sundown! <3 great DJs too …

Best bar in Didsbury! Lovely staff with a good beer and cocktail selection. Food was on point and arrived promptly. Falafel and flatbed was one of the best I have ever had! Will be back again.

Friendly smiley staff. Lively music. Great food. I loved it. Music reminded me of being in an Alpine café. Wanted everyone to get up and dance on the tables. (Expect they do at midnight!) More

Had a wonderful sunday roast, beef was cooked to perfection. Really nice atmosphere as well, was able to comfortably sit outside on a cold & wet afternoon with it still feeling cosy. More

  • Mark F Jackson

Went for Sunday Brunch. There wasn't anything particularly bad about the place, and the food was okay, (sausages were particularly good) , but typical of this type of place, the coffee
