So happy to have discovered by chance that M&A offer such a great range of vegan options on the menu. Nothing felt like it was lame or just like a reluctant p.s on the menu. About 8 really tasty choices and my aubergine wrap was delicious. Thank you!
Quirky retro kitch best describes the style. Friendly and welcoming staff. Cosy ambiance with dimmed lights and table candles. Family friendly with facilities for small children & dogs are welcome too! Expect to stroke the lovely house dog. We were served in timely manner and enjoyed our fresh delicious fayre. Highly recommend.
The new vegan wrap on the menu is amazing!! I'm not vegan but would order this every time. Delicious! Also, the staff are lovely. �
Great food drink and atmosphere. It feels more like a comfy pub than a bar. I would definitely recommend a go
Wonderful place.Wonderful staff and wine selection. Go on a day when you can hopefully avoid the vegans and their self proclaimed superiority.You’re vegan? Well done. Now shut up.#itwasannounced5timesinonesitting
What a quaint little place. Food was excellent. Wine was delicious with plenty of choice. And the staff are extremely pleasant and friendly. Would defiantly recommend and hope to return again soon!

#VeganRasberryBrownies - Perfect place for a coffee or some amazing food!
Great beer, friendly service & reasonably priced thanks to the CAMRA discount.
This bar is a very authentic bar/restaurant which, if you are around; you should go to.
They have a wonderful selection of drinks (alcoholic and soft drinks) and with a nice foundation, which it has, it serves a great spot to stop in the local area.
We had drinks and food, both of which were good and also were complemented with a friendly atmosphere, which welcomes guests and makes you feel at home.
For starters, we had houmous which was smooth and creamy along with nice bread. Additionally, we had the salt and pepper deep fried cauliflower which was booming with flavour and in terms of cookery, it spoke to the customer a good start to what could be a great meal.
For mains, there was the aubergine burger, which is often something to be afraid of in the case of mushy aubergine which doesn't hold its shape and turns into a metaphorical mud pile of a burger. However, this burger was not that. The aubergine was crispy, and everything complemented eachother.
I had the chicken burger which was crispy and cooked well. One very important thing, that this restaurant did, was seasoning the flour which would dredge the chicken. This allowed for a very good flavour and didn't make the pickled overpower everything else.
The tacos that were served were very good, with a good balance of everything in the dish. However, there was a fair amount of residual oil left over. Along with this, the pickled cucumber could have been fresh if I were to be pedantic which meant that the dish, with a few tweaks can be a delicious dish.
Finally, a lamb wrap. This was well formulated and well executed and flavours worked well overall so no complaints there.
Overall Mary & Archie is a very good bar to stop if you are in the area; with very good service and our waitresses were absolutely lovely. The foods great, and the atmosphere aswell which makes this a good find. Also family friendly and holds quizzes on some days.

25/04/24: Shindigger: Mango Unchained 4.2%
27/06/23: not much has changed although the atmosphere was better this time. We enjoyed the Milk Stout and Schoffenhofer: Watermelon & Mint radler.Sat inside whilst the weather was a little temperamental. Archie (not related) enjoyed his lunch!
08/01/22: quite disappointed with service from Mary & Archie. Had hoped for good things. Was quite busy when we arrived, but a few tables inside and a good few around the side as we entered. Whilst looking at the Craft Ale board, we were told to sit down and order via the QR code. Within a few seconds whilst still trying to decide on what craft ale to have someone else then said to take a seat. We did. Outside. Scanned the QR code and what I'd chosen wasn't on the list. Tried to catch the waitreses eye, but she averted gaze and carried on serving towards the entrance. We order a quick half of a different drink and moved on. Heating outside is potentially good, but only 2 buttons to turn on the infrared lamps. Each table should have a button, as opposed to one button servicing 3 heaters on the left and the other button for the 3 heaters on the right. Approximately 10 covers at the side and as table were quite close together, it would have been rude to keep asking someone else to press it. Our drinks took a little time to come, but tasted great. Service was terrible, rushed and too busy to welcome nee guests. The craft ale board looked quite good, but not represented on the QR menu, which also failed to load initially. As part of the Chorlton Ale Trail, I'd probably overlook here next time amd put it down to a cafe, as opposed to a craft ale stop, where good service and sampling is a must.
Great bar with good selection of beers and the food is great and good choice. They are back doing Sunday roasts and they are superb had the roast beef, cooked to perfection. Side of cauliflower cheese was amazing, it's not the cheapest but it's worth the money.
Great service from Drew today. I really liked colourful and creative crockery selection he picked for me. Put a big smile on my face thank you!
Fab outside seating with cushions. Recommend veggie kebab flatbread with halloumi and lemoncello spritz - very unique.
Delicious full English! Beautiful mushrooms & sourdough.
This was our favourite spot when we lived in Chorlton 2 years ago and we've been waiting to get back there ever since we moved overseas. The breakfast didn't disappoint!
We were looking for a local place for Sunday lunch and came across this place online and decided to give it a go as the reviews were excellent. It was a bonus that you do not have to book in advance, you simply turn up and it's first come first served. The beef Sunday roast was excellent! Pure perfection on a plate...generous serving of perfectly cooked meat with amazing and tasty trimmings as well. The peas, brocoli and leek were so delicious and don't get me started on the mash. They also have a great selection of beers, wine and spirits. The cherry on top? It was very reasonably priced too and we got a table straight away. We'll be back for sure!
Excellent food, great beer choice, nice atmosphere, great music and very cozy environment. Waiters are always smiling and cheerful. My favourite place for a brunch in Chorlton.
Try the Aubergine and Halloumi Burger! Delicious!
Had the loveliest service from Callum and Harvey this morning (sorry if got the names wrong!) Really friendly, great start to the day with some excellent food! Thank you again
The food would have been so much better if it was hot. It was lukewarm and we didn't have enough time to ask them to heat it up as we were off to the cricket. However, the service was fab as were the staff. Great outdoors atmosphere and inside was chilled and fab too. I will definitely return and think the food was a one off as I have heard nothing but good reviews
Nice atmosphere. I like the new items on the menu, our party all had a pasta dish and all were good. Makes a nice change from burgers and chips. Beer good, service fast. I am so good at using QR codes now
Durch Zufall entdeckt und einfach mal ausprobiert. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und die Bedienung war sehr nett. Kann ich ohne Probleme weiterempfehlen!

Discovered by chance and just tried it out. The breakfast was very tasty and the service was very nice. I can recommend it without any problems!
Cozy environment, very tasty and alternative brunch options and decent coffee. I had Eggs Benedict with a very interesting twist.
Breakfast is unapologetically buttery and delicious. Their avocado spread has a zest to it. The mushrooms are not your usual bland sauté. They tasted like chives, a bit of garlic and of course butter. Home sausages taste yummy. Overall, just right for a cold morning and/or a hangover.
Lovely little place family friendly n nice choices of beverages
