GRUB

You know that fantasy of eating a full meal during a film without it costing a fortune or tasting like cardboard? Grub makes it happen. Tucked away on Red Bank in Cheetham Hill, it's the kind of spot that feels like a proper local's secret—a cinema with an actual kitchen, not some popcorn stand masquerading as a restaurant. You settle into proper seats, order something that won't disappoint (think proper burgers, nachos, pizzas), and watch your film without the guilt that usually comes with cinema food. The whole setup is refreshingly unpretentious; it's casual, buzzy without being loud, and the fact that 961 people have rated it 4.7 stars speaks volumes. Prices won't sting either—you're looking at decent value for what you're getting.
