Gary Usher's Didsbury bistro is the southern outpost of his Sticky Walnut group in Manchester. Two-course set lunch at sixteen pounds, ambitious for price.
Signature: Gin-cured sea trout, Braised featherblade
Order: Set lunch with featherblade and the parkin pudding with butterscotch.
Tip: Sundays book out; mid-week is calmer and the kitchen serves the same menu.
