Meet and eat at The Lime Tree
Overview
Tonight we are off to the highly rated Lime Tree restaurant in West Didsbury, to dine from their contemporary and seasonally changing menu which supports British farmers and makes the most of the produce that is grown and reared on the farm.
The Lime Tree Restaurant is an award winning family run restaurant originally established in 1987 in Didsbury, Manchester by chef owner Patrick Hannity. In March 2015 they were awarded Best Restaurant in the Fine Dining Category South Manchester of The Eat Drink Sleep Awards.
Tonight is a pay as you go meal, so you choose what you want on the night and the bill is organised at the end so we each pay for what we have had plus the applicable service charge.
