Silver Apples is a delightful cafe bar, slap bang in the middle of the haven that is West Didsbury. Quirky mismatched tables and chairs are complemented by quirky mismatched cups, plates and cutlery. As you walk through the door your eyes are immediately drawn to the glass counter full of homemade cakes (lemon raspberry and poppy seed cake is amazing!) and cup cakes. A chalk board on the wall lists the pies of offer that day, served with, mash, mushy pies and gravy. But what about the sandwiches!? Well, they have their own chalk board...Feta, pesto and sunblush tomato on foccaccia, serrano and mozzarella ciabatta, brie, bacon and cranberry focaccia...just some of their delights. But I went for the chorizo, hummus, olive and sunblush tomato ciabatta. Here's how it looked; lovely toasted ciabatta with a generous spread of hummus, topped with chorizo, olives, a few sunblush tomatoes and a rocket salad. The lovely toasted ciabatta ensured a nice crunch, perfectly complementing the smooth hummus. The chorizo and olives brought an oily saltyness to the ensemble (that's right the ensemble), while the sunblush tomatoes threw a nice slice of sweetness into the equation, and the rocket brought the ever essential hit of pepper. All in all a top sandwich, my only criticism being that they could have been a bit more generous with the chorizo, BUT that may just because I'm greedy, I would definitely have it again...and probably will.

Silver Apples, West Didsbury, Manchester. West is best.
