If those are your best suggestions for food in the NW, then I suggest you really do not want to
embark on a career as a food critic. In fact, just because your company once gave you a special "do" at Northcote doesn't mean it is good, it is one star Michelin and charges 2 to 3 star Michelin in Blackburn FFS. I think that you may also like to recommend Burger King off the A666 and that café near Colne that everyone raves about, the McDonalds.

Sweet Mandarin is pretty good.
It's round the back of the old market on Shudehill in Manchester and, whilst it may not have any stars, it is certainly very well renowned.

What a curious thing to get yourself worked up over.
I was referring more to good places to stay. If it's just food then I'd pick L'Enclume every time. I haven't stayed there though so can't comment on their rooms. The Parker's Arms has been getting a lot of admiring nods and Fraiche is also great destination dining.

Where are your recommendations Egon?
