What are your opening times?
We open for dinner from Wednesday to Saturday at 6:30pm, taking our last booking at 8:30 pm. We also serve lunch on Saturday only which can be booked between 12.30pm & 1.00pm. Please arrive at least 10 minutes early for your reservation if you wish to have a drink before your meal. Or our bakery Yellowhammer (located 1 minute from us at 15 Lower Hillgate, SK1 1JQ) is also open until 10pm on Thursday & Friday for a pre-reservation glass or from 10am on Saturdays for a pre-lunch coffee!
What is the cancellation policy?
All sales are final and non-refundable (but we are happy to discuss any extenuating circumstances). Rather than cancellation, we offer rescheduling as an option given a minimum of 48 hours’ notice. You are of course also welcome to pass your reservation on to another guest.
How much is our tasting menu?
Our 2024 tasting menu is £125pp for dinner and £110pp for lunch (Saturday only). A discretionary service charge of 10% will be added to your bill when you dine. 100% of the service charge is distributed between all members of staff by a designated employee.
What are your drink options?
We offer a wine pairing, a dry pairing alternative or a mixed pairing. These can be purchased and ordered in advance through the booking process or you can simply opt for them on the night. We also offer a succinct list of wines by the glass and bottle that changes every evening. If you have something special in mind that you would like to discuss please email us on bookings@wtlgi.co
How do we find you?
We are located at the very top of Rostron Brow, just opposite St Mary’s Church next 1 Market Place. If you face down Rostron Brow and look to your right, you will see two sets of steps that lead up to a door with a large round light above it - this is our entrance.
Do you have a car park?
We do not have a car park that is connected to the restaurant, but Churchgate Car Park next to St Mary’s Church is free of charge after 6pm, and is just across the road from the restaurant.
Do you have wheelchair access?
Our restaurant is in a listed converted coffee warehouse from the 1900s. Unfortunately, the restaurant is located up two flights of stairs so it does not offer wheelchair access.
How long do we need to allow for the experience?
We invite you to allow ample time to enjoy the experience - your table is yours for the night. However, we estimate that our full menu lasts between 2-3 hours.
Do you cater for dietary requirements?
We aim to be able to cater for most dietary requirements. We do not cater for dislikes - only allergies, intolerances and specific diets (vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, etc). Please note, that we are unable to cater to both dairy and gluten-free diets together. If you have any questions, please contact us before your reservation is made.
What is your dress code?
We have no dress code, so feel free to dress as smart or as casual as you like.
How do I use my gift voucher?
f you want to make a booking using a voucher, please do not make a reservation yourself as you will be asked to make a prepayment. Instead, please visit Tock to search for an available date and time. Once you have found availability, please call 0161 477 5744 or email bookings@wtlgi.co with your voucher details and we will book it into our system on your behalf. Please note our office hours are 10am-4pm Wednesday to Friday.
Do you recommend any accommodation?
There are some very nice hotels situated a few miles away from us, including Didsbury House Hotel, Eleven Didsbury Park and Odd fellows on the Park. We will always be happy to arrange taxis for you.
Can I bring children to the restaurant?
Our policy is that babies or children are not allowed in the restaurant. The environment and dining room layout make it unsuitable for anyone not old enough to be able to sit as guests partaking in the full experience. We also have our other guests to consider and to ensure everyone can enjoy a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. The physical restrictions of our listed premises also make it difficult for the access of prams. Regrettably we are also not equipped with highchairs or baby changing facilities.
An exception to the above can be made for babies (provided pram access is feasible) during Saturday lunch service only. This daytime experience is the same as our dinner offering but an occasion that is more laid back and family friendly. Please email us with any enquiries - bookings@wtlgi.co
Can I bring a dog to the restaurant?
Our kitchen and dining room constitute one shared and open space and so we do not allow dogs into WTLGI for hygiene reasons. An exception can of course be made for service dogs.
