Volta, West Didsbury

Styled by the owners as a 'neighbourhood eatery and bar' there is much more of a restaurant feel than at its sister venue in Chorlton, Electrik, including full table service for diners from the menu which has a distinct 'gastro' look to it - quality is the byword. As at the Chorlton venue, the intention is to make everybody welcome no matter what they call in for - food, a quick coffee or for an evening's drinks. As of late 2017, now mostly dining only, apart from standing at the bar it will be very difficult to get a table for solely drinking. Cask ale was dropped from sale in late 2019, prior to that three handpumps on the bar featured guests (often from local brewers such as Black Jack, and RedWillow) plus a beer from the Electrik Ale Experiment range - brewed exclusively for the group by Bollington's Happy Valley Brewery.
