"While looking through old photos of our 2022 trip to the UK, I stumbled upon pictures of the dishes we had at The Hungry Gannet and was instantly transported back to that wonderful day. My husband and I were traveling from Glasgow to Manchester and initially sought a good takeaway spot. By chance, we discovered The Hungry Gannet—and we’re so glad we decided to stop and dine in for brunch instead! The food was absolutely amazing. Portions were generous and satisfying. My omelette (with chicken and tomatoes) was hefty—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and served with a wonderfully refreshing salad. My husband had the Tandoori Chicken Wrap, and coming from Singapore, where Indian food is a staple, he was impressed by how authentic and flavourful it was. We polished off everything on our plates, though we couldn’t quite finish the strawberry milkshake—it was delicious but we were too full! The café itself was cozy and intimate, despite being bustling from the moment we arrived until the time we left. The staff were super friendly, and we were fortunate to be served by the owner himself, who was warm and gentle. His kindness left a lasting impression on me, and it made our visit all the more special. I was genuinely sad we couldn’t return before leaving Scotland. Here’s hoping we cross paths again someday. Wishing all the best to this incredible establishment! Service: Dine in Meal type: Brunch Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4"

"Hi we ordered a takeaway legally as per covid ! We live only an 8 minute drive away, we were told 20 minutes for collection and we arrived in good time to no que and left for home at around 20 minutes later ! We ordered chicken pakora which was cold ! A portion of chicken tikka masala and it was grainy almost as though the yogurt wasn’t fresh as the sauce looked sandy and was slightly gritty in texture, we also ordered a chicken Korma and the sauce was the same but also spicy (which Korma isn’t supposed to be). With both mains we ordered fried pilau rice which was also cold but even worse when you opened the containers the rice came out in rectangular lumps and it didn’t want to separate and clumped together. The rice was definitely reheated from probably the day before as we ordered our meal at 5.30pm ish. I ordered from this shop on the TripAdvisor ratings and having ordered a starter and 2 main courses if 1 thing was going to be disappointing then fair enough but for the whole meal to be **** then I suggest the owners have had a big hand in the ratings for their establishment. I also at the point of ordering our meal made a point of telling the guy on the phone that this was the 1st time I had ordered from them as their ratings looked great. I will definitely not be spending my hard earned cash in this establishment again disappointed is an understatement !"
