Aspire Restaurant, Trafford College, Altrincham

Time of visit: 5 November 2014

AWESOME!! 

Fine dining at a bargain price (less than a tenner!!). Yes, you got it right, 3-course lunch for only £9.95. Dinner costs £14.95. This restaurant is run by students of Hospitality. With that price and superb food you get a fine dining experience -very well trained staff, great service, nice table clothes, good cutlery with hot plates, super clean toilets (worth to mention!). Oh, a staff will pull the chair for you, and puts a napkin on your lap. If you live nearby, have a go, you will not be disappointed.
But.. because it is a college, the restaurant opens only during the term time and only on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (lunch) and Wednesday and Thursday only (dinner).
