The lead station is located in Chorlton a couple of miles outside the city centre but not too far. Chorlton is one of the nicest areas in South Manchetser and the lead station is located in the posh part of Chorlton!

I first went to the lead station with my current boyfriend and some friends for the first time. I had heard quite a lot of reviews about it but had never actually been myself. People raved on about how good the food was and could even name specific dishes I should try.
Others had prewarned me that there are a fair share of gay people that go in there, namely gay women. This didn't phase me at all as I regularly go out in the gay village in Manchester and I am not homophobic in the least.
My first impressions as I walked in were 'what a classy venue', the decor is lovely it seemed to have a really relaxed atmosphere and was decorated ina contempory fashion. There is also a terrace type section at the back with tables where you can sit and eat or drink in the sun.
We all order food and although it took longer than I would have wanted for the food to come (it was quite busy and I was frustrated cause I was absolutely starving) when it arrived it was excellent.
The menu changes from week to week, some things reamin the same and some things are modified, trust me that all of it is delicious. To the point where I near licked my plate!
There is a dessert that is never changed. Baileys cheesecake...it is to die for and I throughly recommend that it is tested the first time you go.
They always have what you order, the specials board is usually packed with even more rare delights.
You also recieve a good portion of food, although it can sometimes be on the more expensive side it doesn't have to be. For example pasta dishes are quite cheap where as steaks etc are more expensive but you fine this anywhere you eat.
The service was good, although I've had to wait a few times it is a very popular place and is usually quite busy. It is however service with a smile.
Drinks are also reasonably expensive but they have a good selection of wines, largers, spirits and alcopops.
There is also the chance that you may bumo into someone quite famous, last time I was there we bumped into Phillip Neville the Manchetser United football player with his girlfriend, and hey if it's good enough for him it's good enough for me!!

I liked this opinion, but I felt you could have made it a bit easier to read by spacing out details into paragraphs nevertheless an interesting read. Thanks.
