Head out to Sale and you'll find yourself at The Boathouse, perched right on the water's edge with floor-to-ceiling windows that actually earn their keep. It's the sort of spot that works whether you're after a leisurely Sunday lunch or somewhere to take someone you're trying to impress without the pretension. The menu's straightforward—grilled meats and fish done properly, nothing unnecessarily complicated—and the setting does half the work for you. It's become a proper destination for folk from across south Manchester, not just the immediate area.
