Chorlton continuity ………….. that restaurant on Beech Road

Number 60 Beech Road has been many things over the years.


Once it was home to Benjamin Wheatley the iron monger and later to Joan Newman “ladies hairdresser”.

My memories only stretch to the mid-1970s when it was briefly a piano shop, before it began its long association with food and drink.

And without wanting to sound like Methuselah, I can claim to have eaten in the place when it first opened as Café on the Green, and later when it was known variously as Blue Notes, the Nose, and Marmalade, before reopening as the Parlour.

And now after a longish closure it opened as Suburban Green.

So that is over 30 years of pleasing customers with everything from interesting dishes to beers and wines from all over.
