Thank you to Lily and the team! After a stressful day involving late trains, and terrible travel they looked after us ever so well! They wine was fantastic, the service was wonderful, and the meat board was a triumph! The vibes, as they say, were immaculate.

I hadn’t visited Flawd before - a wine bar on New Islington marina - however, we heard there was a special tomato celebration. Tomatoes?! Hell yes. I have rarely left a wine bar feeling as nourished. The tomato fest was insane. Fresh, ripe and grown locally. The other fresh vegetable dishes knocked me for six too. Especially with the romesco sauce. Bang. So, coupled with an extensive (and in parts, a little challenging!) wine selection the whole the gig was spot on. I also learned that Flawd is owned by the good people of Higher Ground. Class. Go, but I can’t guarantee the tomatoes will be on. But, so what?

Probably one of my favorite discoveries in Manchester. Flawd is a place of life nestled on the edge of the canal, relaxed atmosphere and terrace by the water. The place is beautiful and the selection of natural wines is on point. I love it!

Had a (super) quick plate of food and a beer & will definitely be heading back for more. It’s tiny but has decent outside seating and occupies a lovely spot on the marina - it’s amazing to see how this area has really settled into being its own thing. The place is clearly the work of people that care for and love the products they serve and environment in which they work: service was genuinely friendly and the food was excellent in a way that showed care and understanding for the ingredients. You couldn’t for much more from a neighbourhood business, and it was a real pleasure to visit.

Flawd was my very first stop on my very first trip to Manchester and it was the perfect introduction to the city. The vibe is fantastic, the selection of natural wines is incredible and the menu of small plates is expertly curated and executed, and oh so delicious! Many of the ingredients are locally grown on a farm managed by the owners. A great experience overall. I will definitely be back!
