we had so much fun on this food escapes !!! not being from manchester we thought it might be difficult for us to understand the clues however it was so much fun and we managed to get all but one correct first time !! i loved that we had time to walk/run off our food after each meal as they were delicious and also filling ! definitely worth it and would so do this again , thankyou so much !!!
Omg this is a must try experience if you love exploring Manchester and food! Delicious food in lovely settings whilst roaming around the city trying to solve clues. We LOVED it!
Great experience. Saw so many new parts of the city and ate some delicious food along the way!
This is our second tour in a month, the first was ‘Streets of the East’. Both were great experiences with delicious food in places we have never tried before. We would recommend!
Really enjoyed the experience. However once dark its very hard to get some of the clues. We did the Indian street food tour. I would suggest completing during light hours as some areas were a little creepy in the dark! Food however was excellent i would absolutely recommend.
Hi Nick, thank you for sharing your experience. I know exactly the areas you're talking about, and this week we've rewritten sections of the game to keep it the same length, but routing away from those areas. We never want anyone to feel unsafe during the games so the change has been made especially as we move towards the darker evenings again (unfortunately). Thanks for flagging this because this feedback helps us make necessary changes and highlight the best parts of Manchester for future players. Glad you enjoyed the food otherwise! Aaron
Fab day was good for everyone to contribute to the clues
The food was great and unexpected little gems to eat in the future
Will defo be doing again within a different food group 😁
A fantastic and fun experience that combined great foods with exploring a part of Manchester. It took us to new places to eat and we had 3 delicious courses. The clues and game were fun too, a nice blend of simple with a few challenging clues to solve.
A highly recommended experience.
What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Started at 3 on time. The clues were great, some easy, some not. The Venus and food were something I had never eaten at or eaten before. A few tipples along the way at our expense just added to the experience. I think I know Manchester well but this experience took me to places I didn’t even know existed. All within walking distance and a few round in circles but not the clues just me 🙄. Do it! Grab a few mates or just two of you as it helps with the clues and have great fun, food filled, brain teasing time in city we all love 🙂
Got this as a birthday present for my husband and he truly loved the experience! We lived in the city for 10years before moving out and it was great to explore the little hidden gems. We walked down streets that neither of us venture down before.
The food was great too! We got to taste things that we wouldn’t normally pick.
Loved the clues part of the experience. We had a great afternoon.
We had such a fun time with Food Escapes! The clues were clever, the food was delicious, and it made for a really unique experience. I’d love to see a dessert-themed version in the future—I’d definitely book it!
One of the locations- the part where you go down the side of the Unite Students accommodation felt a little unsafe- quite a remote area. I wouldn’t feel safe going down there if it was dark. Just something to consider for future clues. But overall, well put together.
Hi there, thank you for your feedback! The part you're talking about is a common throughfare between student buildings an accommodations, and although the graffiti is commissioned in most parts and gives it a unique character, we can understand why it feels uncomfortable. The game is actually dynamic, so when it's dark, it already knows not to send people down that route as it's not well lit, but we want to keep everyone feeling safe, so your comments are very valid and we're looking at redesigning the route this week. Thanks again for the feedback!
What a great experience!
This food escape was very well run and the clues were fun to solve. We experienced restaurants we wouldn't maybe have come across ourselves and saw parts of Manchester we didn't know. The food at each establishment was delicious.
Will probably book another soon. Highly recommend
Really fun and great food, makes you see parts of Manchester you never knew existed.
We really really enjoyed this experience, it was a lot fun and we got to try new food we’ve never had before. We’ve been in Manchester for years and we saw things we’ve never noticed before. We will definitely do it again!
It was an amazing experience from start to finish had the best time exploring manchester plenty of food we had the best time
Best way to eat your way around Manchester. Simple, fun, and very tasty.
You get a lot of high-quality food for the price. When you consider the planning and the scavenger hunt, it’s a steal.
This wasn't just your standard curry house experience. Each stop felt completely different from the last. The regional variety was eye-opening!
Definitely come hungry. By the time we hit the third restaurant, we were struggling to finish, but it was too good to leave behind!
I was worried it might be too mild or too hot, but there was a great balance. The stories about the restaurant owners were a lovely touch.
Forget Tikka Masala. This is the real deal. The South Indian dish at the first stop was spicy and aromatic. Excellent curation by the Food Escapes team.
I've lived in Manchester for a decade and didn't know the second place even existed. It’s now my new favourite spot. The "curated dish" was something I’d never have ordered but loved.
