For my birthday I was taken to the new bar in Chorlton Orlando’s where we feasted on Sausages 🙂
Mmmmm Wild Boar Sausage ciabatta for your birthday tea, what more could a man want, well I’d suggest 2 Wild Boar Sausage ciabatta for tea, as though they are very filling, you end up wanting more after tasting the first.
So where is Orlando’s ? I hear you scream
Where can one sample the sausage delights that are on offer ?
Well as is usually the case there no where near where we live so its a trek to Chorlton to sample these delights, its just at the junction of Sandy Lane and Barlow Moor Road, in the building that used to be the car stereo shop, though looking at it now you wouldn’t think so, they’ve done a very good job of tidying the place up and making look like a bar worth visiting and there not just serving food, they’ve also branched out into entertainment as well, as on the 27th May they’ve got the legendary Mr Nice aka Howard Marks providing the assembled
crowd with no doubt numerous anecdotes of his life as one of the worlds biggest and most successful dope smuggler’s, though he’s not doing it for free, it’ll cost you about £20 for the evening and is limited to only £70 places, though the £20 does include a meal, though whether this is sausage I can not confirm at this time.
They’ve also got other speakers/comedians lined up for future events including Felix Dexter, who’s going to be on some time in June.
Anyway as for Orlando’s itself, well the inside is painted a brilliant white with a swarf of chairs and table located at one end of the small interior and the layout reminds me a little of some Spanish/Ibiza bar, to make up for the small interior they’ve created a sort of terrace outside with tables, chairs and to be honest a bit of a tacky water feature, which would be best suited in you grandmothers garden, though in general this does not detract from the general feeling of a rather good bar in the making.
I’ve also got to say the the staff in general where very friendly and were more then accommodating when it came to us bringing Blue our dog with us, they were even kind enough to give Blue her very own Wild Boar, which as is usually the case, was devoured with gusto and at a very fast speed.
Anyway check the place out for yourself and let me know what you thought ?
