    Alex was absolutely OUTSTANDING host. We were a party of four, having a roast dinner and deserts. It was just fantastic. Chicken was slightly dryer than we would have liked BUT the seasoning was lovely. The pork and beef were just phenomenal. We ordered an extra portion of the pork to top up our plates haha! So were the trimmings. Alex recommended the Sticky Toffee pudding and hand on heart it was the best one we’ve had! We ordered an extra portion! Top notch! The cheesecake was also really delicious! Overall, we’ve had the best time and we will definitely be coming back!! Thank you!!

    VOLTA Didsbury consistently hits the mark beating City Centre restaurants hands down. When it comes to small plates VOLTA is in a league if its own.
