The Woodstock Arms

In leafy West Didsbury you'll uncover The Woodstock Arms, a popular drinking den thanks to its sprawling beer garden and pub menu. But that's not all... There's bottomless brunch and Sunday roasts to chow down on too. What's not to like?

Piccolino - Didsbury

For sumptuous Italian fare in Didsbury, look no further than Piccolino. Not only have they got an open kitchen and a stylish cocktail bar indoors, but you can also relax on their pretty outdoor terrace, which is covered for alfresco dining all year round. Take a seat on their picnic-style chairs and tuck into creamy king prawn risotto, beef carpaccio pizza or arrabiatta, paired with a refreshing Aperol spritz.

The Lawn Club

Cocktail Club and 1 other offer

The Lawn Club is one of the best restaurants in Manchester for eating outside, whether you're taking a seat on the foliage-adorned terrace or grabbing deckchairs on the spacious lawn. Expect a stellar lineup of refreshing spritz cocktails and other boozy concoctions, alongside a mouthwatering menu of tasty pizzas, gourmet burgers, loaded fries and more for when you get peckish.

Perched in Castlefield, the beer garden and canalside booths at Dukes 92 are a spectacle to behold. Designed with lazy summer days in mind, this vast space is the perfect place to get stuck into one of the many delicious pizza sharing boards and hearty plates on offer.
