🏠 Alliance Manchester Business School, Booth Street East, Manchester, M13 9SS
Tier Achieved:
Clean. Reliable. Does the job.
The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.
The Hive is a meeting spot that feels more like a corporate day spa than a cafe. With dishes like their hot and cold buffet that apparently caters to every allergy known to man, they're putting effort into the food, even if some of it’s lukewarm. Sure, the decor is on point and the coffee’s decent, but let’s be real: it's a venue primarily for meetings, not date nights. You'll likely leave thinking, 'Did I just attend a seminar or enjoy a meal?'
The staff are friendly enough, and the place is cleaner than your average office break room. But if you’re hoping for a culinary experience, you might want to keep your expectations in check. If you need to impress your boss, sure, swing by. But for a casual lunch with friends? Maybe not so much.
"Couldn't fault it!"
"The food is restaurant quality."
"Love the tapenade they’ve served up."
