The 49 best country pubs in Greater Manchester

The Wharf in Castlefield is a spacious, well-run pub with a strong focus on food and drink. Set along the canal, it offers a scenic spot for a pint or meal, especially on warmer days when the outdoor terrace fills up quickly. Inside, the layout is open yet cosy, with real fires and plenty of seating. The menu covers British classics like fish and chips and Sunday roasts, alongside more refined dishes. Portions are generous, and the quality is consistent. The beer selection is excellent, with 12 hand-pulled ales and ciders, including local brews and rotating guests. Service is friendly and efficient, even when it’s busy. It’s not the cheapest pub in Manchester, but the setting and quality make it worth it. A solid choice for a relaxed meal or drink by the water.

One of my go-to spots in Castlefield. I’ve been many times and it’s consistently tasty — solid pub food done well, generous portions, and hot to the table. Great choice of beers (cask and craft) and a nice, reasonably priced wine list. Friendly staff and a relaxed, canalside atmosphere make it easy to linger with friends. Not fancy — just reliably good and welcoming every time.

Visited on Easter Sunday. I hadn't booked as we didn't know what time we'd be there. Even though it was very busy, they still found us a table for 2 upstairs straight away. Staff calmly kept everyone fed and watered. Food was lovely.

The Wharf is a charming and traditional pub with a lovely atmosphere, perfect for a cozy meal or drinks by the canal. The food was delicious and comforting, definitely worth the visit. The only downside was the slightly long wait for both food and service, which lacked a bit of energy. Still, it’s a great spot if you’re not in a rush and want to enjoy a relaxed, classic pub experience.

Always a fan of the Wharf for a special time, and you can't beat it on a Sunday for a roast, pie, or Asian-fusian salad. Ideal for a date or a classy yet casual catch up with pals. A great selection of pints that are local, broader UK, continental Europe, and classics. They always have at least one gluten free beer on tap at a time, this time was the Brightside Bitter, but often have an alternative option. There are food options for all with the menu having extensive catering for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free. The staff are allergen aware and I have never had a problem eating here. They offer veggie and GF savoury pies and roasts, and GF fish and chips, as well as desert options which is a rare treat. The good is reliably hot and tasty, never rushed. They can run out of popular dishes especially by late on a Sunday, but that is to be expected of a place this busy. I had the crispy beef salad (GF) which was very flavourful and had perfect textures. Parking can be validated to avoid paying anything using an iPad at the bar. There is an accessible entrance, I believe an accessible loo too. Upstairs toilets are always very clean, as pleasant as a loo can be.

One of the few proper gastro pubs in central Manchester. Always have a laugh and good time when I'm here. Drink selection is great, food is delicious, atmosphere is wonderful, can't fault it.

I'd just like to thank Kienan for his excellent service last night. We were quite a big family party but our food and drinks arrived promptly and to the usual excellent standard that we've come to expect from the Wharf. Kienan made sure that we were seated in a quieter area as one of our group is elderly which was hugely appreciated. We have been coming to the Wharf for years and it has never let us down.

We had been seeking out some fish & chips and heard that The Marble Arch Inn had some of the best in the area. We were greeted very kindly by a man behind the bar and he quickly took our drink order and notified us that there was a quiz night about to take place. There is a delightful garden out back with cozy heated booths. That is where we decided to reside for our dinner and drinks. The fish & chips were absolutely on point and the selection of beers was great. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a bite to eat and quality drinks.

I took my friends here for a Sunday roast: it’s one of the more reasonably priced places in Manchester. I opted for lamb, while they got beef. As you can see in the pic, it came with a very reasonable amount of veg (carrots, roasties, spring greens, parsnips and a bit of cauliflower cheese) as well as a perfectly acceptable Yorkshire pudding. Their feedback was that the beef was too fatty- it sounded like the people on the table next to us experienced the same. It came quick! I would probably sample roast dinners at other venues before returning here.

I would definitely go back to The Marble Arch Inn. It is about a 15 minute walk from the central mall shopping center, so it was definitely worth it if you are near there. The place was packed so I definitely recommend a reservation. The food was tasty and enough amount for the price. Also there is a wide selection of beers and IPAs. We had the panko fried chicken sandwich with pickled fennel and chilli jam, and the fish and chips. We enjoyed the food and the environment. Totally recommended in Manchester.

Gosh, I'd not been here in at least 10 years, but it was good to see it had not changed. Gorgeous Victorian tiles, great beer selection with passionate staff, and really good consistent food. We came here before an event and booked a table just in case. Between us, we ordered fish and chips upon tofu salad, chicken burger, and black pudding burger. The fish was huge with fab home-made chips. My udon salad was plentiful with some great flavours, the shitaki mushrooms and asparagus in it were nom. My own gripe was edename were swapped out with regular peas. Everyone was really happy with their food. Oh and the cauliflower starter was delicious too. I will say it can get quite loud easily due to the nature of the architecture. Still, it was nice to be back!

Told about this place from friends. Very friendly staff throughout. Dog friendly inside too, which is always a bonus for us. Food was very nice and would go back again.

This is THE Pub! Best in Manchester! Food, drink and service is extraordinary! I'm in love

Great food and beers. We visited on a night with trivia, which was quite fun as well. Dom and the team there were super friendly and knowledgeable.

Fantastic pub! This is the first time I have been in 15 years (since when I used to work there), it's just a shame that the whiskeys are gone. But I'm sure there's a reason. Still a cracking pub!

FOOD = BEER Excellent pints of Murphy's and Guinness Appreciated the tip for Frankies Toasties when asked for a sandwich shop recommendation.

Great old english pub, but no longer vhiskey pub.

This is a gem of a place which looks and feels quaint, old British and charming. It fosters vibrant meetings and has some exquisite Victorian decor (if a tad unkempt). I already notice the William Morris wallpaper in the function room upstairs has been painted over, so I'm a bit worried that this direction might continue under the new (corporate ) owner, thus stripping it of its precious historic character. We have very few of these old pubs left, and it would hurt the local community endlessly for the Briton's Protection to also slip into mid grey corporate sludge. Historic heritage needs to be protected not painted over.

A truly amazing pub. Just down the street from The Peveril. Tons of history in here. Lots of unique drinking rooms. Front bar is isolated from the rest of the pub. There’s even a beer garden! Great draft and cask options and a lovely bar staff. Just can’t beat a place like this.

One of the best, friendliest whisky bars I have been to. Alan is a real whisky lover and knows everything about them. The bar is full of rare independet bottlings and you can get very well priced tasting flights. Our few hours there went so fast drinking and talking about whisky I barely noticed it. Will come back for sure! Absolutely recommended!

This evening, we visited this establishment for a pleasant dinner, and we had a great experience. The interior atmosphere was quite elegant and relaxing. The option to sit outside was a nice touch; we enjoyed a peaceful and serene environment in the outdoor seating area. Although the menu didn’t have too many options, the dishes we tried exceeded our expectations in terms of flavor. The food was fresh and carefully prepared. The quality and presentation of the main courses were particularly impressive. There was also a variety of beers available, and I can say they were very fresh, served cold and delicious. We experienced a few minor issues with the service; the orders took a bit longer to arrive, and a few small details were missed. However, the staff was polite and attentive, which positively impacted our overall experience. I would also like to mention that the prices were quite reasonable for the quality, offering a good balance of value for both the food and the atmosphere. In conclusion, we had a lovely evening with delicious food and a peaceful atmosphere. With a few more menu options, this place could be even more perfect. I definitely recommend it!

Fantastic local pub. Again visited on a whim with friends. From the moment we walked through the door the welcome was phenomenal. The lady who looked after us just knew how to do her job so well. The place itself has lots of area to sit and it just felt like being at home. I had the gammon which was salty and delicious and served with a quarter of a pineapple. Really excellent food and service.

This place is a wonderful pub with great beer selection and atmosphere. I paticularly appreciated Ben and Harry who could not do enough to help. They both had great recommendations and brilliant customer service. Such a great night!

First visited this huge pub about 50 years ago. Been back a few times. A very wealthy area now, once a home to cheap student digs. Ic and Flic have never been to a bigger pub, even bigger than I remember. Caters for all needs. Six real ales. Multiple rooms. Huge outdoor area, huge conservatory. YV's showing sport. Busy kitchen and a pizza oven outside. Had a lovely pint from Coach House brewery. Ic n Flic had an excellent Provence Rosé.

Great place to eat in an iconic landmark steeped in history. Its not the cheapest pub in these northern lands, thats for sure, but the food and service is great, making the extra pennies worth the spend. I had the lamb shank that was cooked to perfection. A rich and tasty old favorate that satisfied my belly and was well capped with decent bottle of clarett. the decor is traditional and fitting for the experience, and the staff are friendly, helpfull and kind. I enjoyed my evening here with my lovely wife, and would be more than happy to repeat it again. Bravo Met, still excellent, and still true to itself.

An alright roast. The mains were good - recommend the veggie wellington. The yorkshires were good too and the unlimited yorkshires and potatoes. The vegetables were a bit hard though and undercooked. Overall it was a good roast but did not blow me away with the high price. The service was really good 😊

The food was absolutely delicious with fresh ingredients and great presentation. The atmosphere was cozy yet stylish, perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. Most of all, the service was outstanding — Hannah took such great care of us and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Definitely a place I’d love to come back to!

Great traditional old boozer with a great beer selection. 4* because of the flies... they were unbearable on my visits during the summer and are still there on 31st Oct. Sort it out.

A truly fun, cozy pub that was rockin’ on an early Friday afternoon. Full of groups of friends catching up over some fine ales. Rustic is an understatement. This place has seen its share of time and patrons. Young, friendly guy at the bar explained some of their cask options, of which there are many. Plenty of regular draft, too. An absolute classic of a pub that I fear will disappear based on the age of the clientele.

I’m from Sweden! I’ve met bartender Allan four years ago and he always amaze me with his deliverance of whiskey! The history, the tastes and more. He has a great knowledge for beers as well. Go to this place and ask for Allan, he’s the greatest! The atmosphere here is also top notch! ✌️💪

This is one of the finest surviving Ale Pubs in Manchester city centre. This gem has been grade 2 listed since 1974 & is well worth seeking out. The current management team are very friendly & helpful. Beers are stocked from far & wide including some unusual regional specials, eg Neptune from Maghull, that you are unlikely to find elsewhere in the city centre. Looking forward to my next visit Cheers !

Great traditional pub with well kept beer. Friendly staff , great atmosphere.

Cracking boozer in Manchester City centre. Large selection of ale including gluten and vegan options. 2 main rooms both with a nice ambience for drinking. Small outside area at back which is sheltered. Very good service behind the bar. Sells jumbo packs of midland pork scratchings for £2. Highly recommended is this pub 🍻 🐷

My husband said it's the best pint of bitter he's had for a long time. A thought for your occasional female customer, please clean the floors so your feet don't stick to them!

Living in Salford since 2018. Decided to finally pop in on the walk home. Didn't know it was an Irish pub judging by the whiskey selection behind the bar. Great to see. However I'm knocking 2 stars off because we aren't in Ireland and they aren't serving cask via sparkler. Shocking scenes. Go down to London for that stuff. London prices too.

Spoilt for choice of beer here (and also Sports channels) - check the boards to see what’s pouring. If in doubt the knowledgeable bar staff will assist. Well worth seeking out - only 5 minutes from Salford Central.

Beautiful spot for some quiet drinks with friends and family, so far have had a great experience with the staff. Especially Sally who’d let us stay long after close to get us more drinks, excellent effort to make us enjoy our experience at this cosy pub.

Lovely traditional pub in Salford. Amazing selection of beer from keg cask and bottle. If you’re into belgium beers you’re in luck. Friendly service. Outside seating. A short walk from city centre. Recommended. 🍻 🇧🇪

Had a terrible time ordering myself a drink. Personally don’t know much about Ales so I asked the lady at the bar counter about the best selling ale so I could give it a try. However she was the most rudest bar attendant I have ever met. She said she can’t suggest as she doesn’t know my taste and all of them are best sellers. Extremely disappointed. Never going to visit them again.

Whilst the range of beers was good here, including unfiltered moretti which is fantastic, it is more expensive than it should be for a pub outside the city centre. Unfortunately, I was also served a bitter that had gone off slightly and upon letting the staff know they claimed it was fine. It wasn't undrinkable but would be the kind of beer you'd expect being sold at 50% off. This left a sour taste in my mouth (pun intended).

Loads of tables outside and a large choice of beers. Bartender was nice and chatty and had some knowledge of the whiskeys. Loads of tables to sit on outside. Atmosphere was none existent. I imagine it's better when there is a match on.

An attractive building from the outside, and small bar area at the front with seating round the back. There seemed a good selection of beers/ ales, but £6.80 for an average pint of Guinness was a little harsh. Great venue for live music however, and enjoy the fact they offer small bands/ musicians a place to play.

A Manchester institution... though one of many. Well kept Robinsons real ales provide a familiar welcome on a rare return to the city. A young crowd on a late Monday evening.

Great traditional venue with good music. Small rooms for music so booking essential. Push to the front, rather than hanging at the back, there is always room close to the stage. Watch out for the mosh pit. Staff in the Castle are lovely, as are the patrons.

Fantastic pub with a long history dating back to 1776. Attractive tiled bar and has a couple of rooms and a very small outside yard with a few seats. We'll known as a lively music venue giving local talent an opportunity to perform. Excellent cask ales. Friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

This is 100% a music pub, if there isn't a band on there's something playing in the background, which was quite fun when you can hear the guys in the taproom singing this charming man. . Personally i don't think the beer range was too good but they were all on form and very drinkable . This is a very friendly and welcoming place for a beer and i would defiantly go back,All in all not bad at all.

Absolutely cracking wee pub. Selection of ales and not a bad guiness. Staff were really nice. Would loved to have been there when there was a live band playing. Really cool old juke box to enjoy a good tune or two. Will be back next time in Manchester.

Drove a good distance to see a live band , ended up seeing 3 Split Frenz, New disorder, and last but not least , Enuma Elish , small back room, good atmosphere and great sound, staff were awesome, highly recommended , I'll try to add some video footage at a later date 😊

Very typical old style bar... nothing flash, wooden seats and tables. Not a big pub but beers served are of excellent quality.... a bit like going back in time to an old workers bar. Worth a visit to get away from city madness.

Very good small Hydes pub about ten minutes walk from Manchester Piccadilly Railway Station. Four cask beers on handpump when I visited including a ruby ale. Small outside smoking area to the rear. Not too busy after the Spurs game at the Etihad!

A couple of cask ales from the Hyde’s core range plus a seasonal stout. Little has changed since I first came here in 1980.

A lovely cosy bar with great beer selection, lovely staff & even nicer customers.

Only had time to pop in for a quick pint but worth the effort. For an old git like me, this is a proper pub, warm welcome, friendly punters and a great atmosphere.. Good selection of beers and good prices. No food because we were getting something along the road. If you like a traditional feel to a pub this place is a must pop in destination. Enjoy

No food eaten . A haven of good beer and a wonderfull haven from the loud melee of Manchrster. 5 hours and 5 pints. One om my hoghlights of Manchester. So pleased we foud this Pub

Real good local pub. Jake is great bar person.

Again just ok quite busy warm with open fires service good but food was 3/5 if totally honest bit of a lamb Henry covered in mash so called buttered greens nuked veg devoid of butter the pork belly very soft no crispy top all points too microwaved pre cooked meals . 3/5 just ok nothing special Update following day all upset stomach’s so dropped food score to 1 won’t be back 🙄

Got to The Didsbury 10 minutes early to be told that they had forgotten to reserve our table, finally got seated and ordered the Sunday Trio, meal came and looked very poor compared to eating there previously, gravy was too thick to poor and veg was sparse, beef was advertised as pink but was overcooked and so was the turkey, very dry and didn’t get any mash or roast potatoes with the Sunday dinner so queried this to be told the dinner should have had some included, the dinner wasn’t very hot and very poor value. Tbf the staff looked run off their feet and was very polite.

I booked the upstairs function room for a baby shower and was really impressed. We had the £14 per person buffet (with additional £2 tea and coffee) and the food was great, especially the cheese boards and deserts. There was actually too much for us as we had a whole separate buffet for the three gluten free guests, and all ended up taking leftovers home! The staff were helpful and attentive, providing cake stands, napkins, water jugs etc as required, even when it was super busy downstairs due to freshers week. The room was spacious with plenty of room for 20 of us (though could’ve fitted many more), had its own separate toilets, and never felt loud or disturbed by the bar customers downstairs. Altogether it was a good price for the event and I would definitely recommend The Didsbury.

Lovely and very friendly staff. The salad I ordered though was disappointing, a few slices of salmon with dry rocket leaves. For a chef's special there is definitely room for improvement

Great pub next to Fletcher Moss park, I’ve had coffee, brunch and Sunday lunch - all been delicious. Very accommodating wirh young children, kids brunch menu and brought colouring. So cosy with fires on in winter. Will keep going back!

We had a fabulous mid-week lunch. A perfect place for a 3 girl catch up. Gorgeous tasty food (we had 2 starters each) and a very good bottle of white wine. Super service all round

For the second time my brother and I met up here. Handy parking and pleasant atmosphere. We had the Just for lunch menu. On both occasions the food was dreadful. The potatoes and tart were soggy and Luke warm and looked and tasted as if they had been cooked ages ago . Staff lovely and I regret not complaining at the time. We will be changing our meet up venue from now . Sorry !!

Attended my sister's wedding here yesterday, absolutely everything was on point. The food was great, the decor & setting just perfect for the wedding, the staff were excellent, professional, polite & genuinely made an effort with all of the guests attending. The rooms are comfortable & clean, would definitely recommend 🙂

We booked this hotel late for a work trip and we were so pleased we did. The pub is lovely with welcoming staff 🤩 we arrived late and they managed to fit us in just before the kitchen closed for a lovely rib-eye steak. Really good selection of ales and wines and the rooms were fantastic, I’d definitely recommend staying here!

Very comfortable room with a separate area for 2 single beds. Nice bath and shower. Arrived late and bar staff helped. Great breakfast. Lots of parking. Lovely view over the moors and church. Wish I could have stayed for hiking

Went for a Saturday dinner. Main course was cooked to perfection and was full of flavour. Just for a change I had found a restaurant that actually had real ale too, instead of the usual plastic foreign lager.

Have eaten here before, and it was good. Sunday lunch this time, not much for a huge plate of food, so I got the sea bass. It was lovely. My companions had the roasts ie chicken and beef, and liked theirs as well.

Visited restaurant in July 2025. Warm atmosphere! Ordered its set dinner. Ham starter and pork fillet main course. Tasty!! 2025 Michelin indeed. Great place for viewing sunset too!!

Attended a wedding here and it was fantastic, staff well brilliant food was amazing, decor lovely. We stayed over the night the room was clean had everything we needed. Will return again

Amazing pub - food was excellent. We came here en masse (a group of 12) because another restaurant booking had fallen through so I called Eagle and Child in a panic to try and get us all in. They were super accommodating and made us feel so welcome. The food was all tasty and hot and seemed really fresh especially the pies! The manager on that day and the waitress were also excellent and helped us make sure everyone got fed in good time. look forward to going back soon - its the perfect pub to end a ramsbottom walk.

Went for lunch. Booked in advance and got a lovely table in the conservatory window. 2 meals. Smashed steak burger with fries, very tasty. Fish and chips, good fish, but unfortunately, the chips were very tough, having been double fried and/or reheated, service staff efficiently delt with it and replaced them with fries. The mushy peas portion was poor. It was the same size as the tartar sauce, in a 2-inch diameter pot. Overall good, excellent and efficient staff and a great location. Fish and chips were a bit pricey at £18.00 for what you got, and the burger was £17.50. Should both be around £3 less. Would return but wouldn't get the fish and chips again.

Came here yesterday for a roast dinner, easily the best roast I've had in a while!! Service was quick and just the right amount of attentive, food was bang on! Side of honey & chilli tenderstem was stunning! Great place, lovely location and brilliant food.

Popped in after a recommendation from friends and didn’t realise Sunday was so busy but the staff from made us feel so welcome and soon found us a table All the staff where amazing the food and drinks where top notch We would highly recommend this place to anyone 👍

The food was absolutely amazing, pie cooked to order and the duck breast was perfectly cooked. Will definitely be returning to try their Sunday roast and Christmas menu!

I had fish, chips and mushy peas. The fish was really good if you like plenty of batter; the chips were substandard, rock hard and tasteless. The peas were in a tiny metal 'lookalike' pan, so if you like peas there wouldn't have been enough for you. I wish I'd complained about the chips at the time.

The Saturday Lunch Club visited yesterday, we try many Lancashire pub grubs and enjoy the plentiful offerings. Have to say this place tops the list so far, exceptional in every way. The staff are a joy, welcoming, enthusiastic about what they produce , knowledgeable and polite. Thwaites produce my favourite ales, but we'll leave that there - apart from the sensational Rioja!! The food - quite a simplistic menu but when you are torn between a few dishes you know "less is more". I went for lamb skewers to start and chicken supreme for main. The skewers were Michelin grade excellent, I asked the host immediately to pass my compliments to the chef. The fellow lunch clubbers also sampled and agreed, Risotto was the other awesome starter. Mains were excellent, one ribeye slightly over done but corrected with zero fuss, blue cheese and peppercorn sauces were a delight. The four of us could have a great time eating pot noodles in a tent, but when the quality is this good it makes the afternoons an absolute joy. Big thanks to the team, the Saturday lunch club will be back.

A great dog-friendly country pub tucked down the end of a lane near to Dunham Massey. Plenty of seating inside and out. Lovely local beer selection and good traditional atmosphere. Ate on a July Saturday as table of five, eating mains and puddings. Every main was absolutely fantastic! I ate the chicken, leek and bacon in creamy white wine sauce. This really was delicious! The kids had the chicken and chorizo pasta, with the kitchen making a smaller portion for my youngest, which was good. This was fantastic again - the sauce was really tasty with plenty of meat too. For dessert it was, unfortunately, a little underwhelming after the 5* mains. I ordered the Belgium waffle. While the Cheshire ice cream was great and very generous in portion, the waffle was poor - I suspect one of those generic packet/frozen ones that are all too common sadly. My eldest had chocolate cake, which looked lovely and rich and youngest had ice cream. The staff were really lovely up to and during the meal but, after the bill came, we were left hanging around for quite a while trying to pay. Definitely will return as the main dishes were amazing and want to try some of the other menu choices.

Great longstanding pub. Managed to get a table same day for Sunday roast. Great menu selection and the Turkey roast was lovely. Wine was nice and really friendly service. Loved the general atmosphere

After enjoying a delightful stroll in the local area, we arrived at the establishment. Despite not having made a reservation, we managed to secure a table. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance to guarantee availability. For my meal, I opted for the chicken dish which was incredibly flavorful, accompanied by leeks and veggies. Meanwhile, my partner decided to have a light snack and ordered the Nachos starter. The portion size was quite generous, as evident from the picture, and could easily serve as a main course. It offered excellent value for money. Overall, the food was delicious, and the service provided by the staff members was exceptionally friendly, efficient, and pleasant. I would certainly consider returning in the future. Please note that if you choose to utilise their carpark, it is free of charge. However, it is essential to register your vehicle upon arrival.

very cute wholesome pub. food smelt good but did not partake drink variety very good with lots of ales and lagers - even good alcohol free choice if driving on draft ! was perhaps more expensive for a pint than I would have expected for the location

Really nice traditional small country pub with a really extensive menu. Service is really friendly and personal, strikes exactly the right balance, making a warm welcome for all the age groups in our party from 16 to 90. We were greeted by Angie who instantky made us feel special. Food is good, portions just right. Highly recommended.

Great place, nice people, dog friendly great food Perfect to walk and chill out

Traditional style pub building. Lots of parking available at the back. The place was lovely and warm with the weather being freezing outside. I had the salmon which was very nice. Vegetables could have been fresher. Desserts were excellent.

Travelled up for a Sunday Dinner with high expectations. At first these were met but things soon went downhill. The beer was OK and price was to be expected. The location is excellent and plenty of outside seating. Dogs welcome and well catered for. ordered two Sunday roasts, chicken and beef which we thought expensive at £20 each but hoped for quality to match. Sadly, this enthusiasm was misplaced. The beef dinner came on a huge mound of undercooked, chewy cabbage & Cauliflower atop a bed of pureed swede and carrot 3 small slices of beef dipped in gravy with a dry crispy Yorkshire pudding on top. Extra gravy was available as an extra as there was no gravy on anything but the meat. Very poor meal and certainly no value for money. The service was not much better. After a very pleasant greeting we were shown a table (#1) adjacent to the fire exit. This in itself wasn’t an issue but it was used as access to the outside space and the traffic was high. What made it worse was the number of times the door was left open, particularly by the staff who were thoughtless about the discomfort the draft caused the customers. The door itself was clearly marked with a Fire Door, Keep Closed sign but the staff didn’t care about that. All in all a very unpleasant meal only made tolerable by the lovely location and other customers.

Lovely place for food, walks and drinks, dog friendly, with treats available for them. Food was really good quality and price. Hanging kebabs are a must and they don’t mess around with portion sizes. Really friendly and helpful staff

Called in today for lunch! We sat in the back room We had sandwiches which were good 👍 My partner was sat on a chair which he taken from another table. Near to the end of his food the waitress asked him for the chair he was sitting on!!! Has there was people who had arrived who had reserved the table! (There were other chairs!) I could not believe it!! I think the staff need a little bit more training!!!

We’ve been coming here for a few years and have never had anything other than amazing food and fantastic service The staff are all young but an absolute credit to the establishment. Music is always a pleasure to Shazam lots of forgotten tunes. Clean and cozy but the food just speaks for itself. Great that dogs allowed too

The food was absolutely brilliant, great friendly service. Loved the restaurant and its location lovely and quiet. We would definitely visit again if we were nearby also dog friendly which is a massive bonus.

We have just returned home after a Lovely weekend at the Strawbury Duck where we stayed for my niece's Wedding Reception in Bolton. The food and accommodation were spot on and all the staff were attentive and helpful. Would highly recommend.

Always wanted to go...has a top cult following...eventually found the bloody place...Conquest in itself...some laid back character sat outside 10.25 p.m...,as we walk towards door..we are shut lads...noone about so we closed...the thing is...we was here fella...ain't gonna knock you it was quiet and you have every right...but you could of let us have a swift half....you was on for a top revue...Nice guy all same

I recently visited Worsley Old Hall in Manchester and it really is a special place. The building itself is stunning, full of history and character, with beautiful old features that give it a unique charm. What makes it even better are the large grounds surrounding the hall – there’s so much space to walk around, relax and take in the scenery. It feels peaceful and open, almost like you’ve stepped out of the city into the countryside, with plenty of outdoor seating and garden areas that are perfect for a drink or meal on a sunny day. Inside, it’s cosy and welcoming, with a warm atmosphere and a good balance of traditional style and comfort. The food was delicious, well presented and with a nice choice of dishes, from classic pub favourites to more refined meals. The drinks selection was impressive too, especially the range of real ales and wines. Service was excellent – the staff were friendly, polite and attentive, making sure everything ran smoothly even though it was quite busy. Yes, the prices are a little higher than your average pub, but the overall experience makes it worthwhile. Between the history of the hall, the big open grounds, the comfortable atmosphere and the great food and service, Worsley Old Hall is definitely worth a visit. Whether you’re coming for a meal, a few drinks, or just to enjoy a walk in the gardens, it’s a place that leaves a lasting impression.

The pub is situated in a lovely area, the golf and the gardens around are amazing. The building is gorgeous and well preserved, wonderful!! The environment is quiet, pleasant music, polite and friendly staff. Kids and dogs friendly. The food has an outstanding presentation, tasty and well confectioned. Desserts are 'a piece of heaven '😉. The portions are good value for money. Staff is very professional, friendly and always making sure you have everything and that you are enjoying. Well done, working an extra mile to serve you well. It was a gratifying experience, very pleased.

Went for lunch and was not disappointed, the menu was fantastic and I opted for pork in the end while my friend chose lamb, really well presented perfect portions and lovely friendly staff

Each course we had was delicious, the staff were friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere was cosy. It was a lovely birthday treat for my Mum. Cant wait to visit again soon. Thank you. Since our visit, I've had so many people message asking about Worsley Old Hall and theyve said they will be trying it.

We held a work event at Worsley Old Hall and it was excellent. The venue is full of character, the staff were really helpful, and the food was great. A perfect setting for team activities – highly recommended

Visited on Friday for a friend's birthday party. Our server Matty was amazing - we were having a murder mystery party and he was great, helping organise people arriving and making sure we had great service throughout. Many thanks again for the great service as well as lovely food and atmosphere, we will be back!

Great Sunday lunch, place was packed, so good to see so many doggies 🐕 Food and service excellent

We’ve dined here a few times and the food and service has always been superb, so we’ve booked it again for our anniversary. We’re so lucky to have this place as our local.

Today I only gave 3 stars, not because the food wasn't as good as always it was extremely good. The problem we had was we waited a very long time to receive the food. It looked like too many bookings had been taken. We have been many times and found the food to be really good. Our son took ill while we waited for the food. He attempted to eat the roast beef lunch but he couldn't manage it. As he had the Sunday lunch with a plate of beef potatoes vegetables Cauliflower cheese and part of a Yorkshire pudding, practically the whole meal, I didn't think it unreasonable to ask if it was possible to take away. I was horrified when I saw the idea of a box to takeaway. The lady came to the table with a tiny box that had the whole meal crammed inside. This was very unfortunate and packed in this way was tacky and unprofessional. It certainly did not present your food at its best and frankly gave a poor impression of what should have been a good meal.

First time of going there and we turned up not thinking to book a table. Thankfully, they were really accommodating and found us a table in the window. We settled down and our drinks order was taken quickly and we were given the menus. We both settled on their Sunday lunch, 1 beef and 1 pork belly. I kid you not, this was easily the BEST Sunday roast I’ve ever had. We ordered 2 of the sides, Cauliflower cheese & the pork & cranberry stuffing with pigs in blankets. It was a really decent sized portion, really well seasoned (didn’t bother with salt & pepper on it) Could have quite easily walked away after that with a full belly and a smile on my face, but we decided to get 2 desserts and share them. We had the Apple & Peach Crumble aswell as the sticky toffee pudding. Oh my gawd! They were stunning! I honestly don’t have one bad word to say. The food, the staff, the atmosphere… they were all spot on! For 2 mains, 2 sides, 2 desserts and drinks, it cost us £65. We left a £15 tip as we thought it was worth it.

Feb 25 Cod tagliatelle was best ever tasted. Nice place, good value. Last Tim Been here many times. Today was outstanding. 2 course Sunday Lunch with smaller portions for the 2 kids. Everyone delighted. Quality and flavours great. Quantity ample. On this basis, the winner for Saddleworth dining out on a Sunday

We have often stayed at the hotel over the last few years. The food has always been very nice and the bar atmosphere very friendly. Have today returned from last visit. Loud music totally ruined the experience and it was necessary to make a complaint at 1am. I don't pay £150 to lay in bed listening to pop music.

Absolutely amazing place. Great food. Friendly attentive service

I had booked a table we turned up on time, we had to wait 45.minutes for the menu then a further 40 minutes for our meals! The food was OK.

Lovely cosy pub vibes, very popular with the hill walker crowd. Food was spot on had the lamb Henry with was lovely and tender with buttery mash. The chips were proper home cooked style and lovely. Great place, good food and reasonably priced. Would visit again.

Really nice place. Food brilliant Really injoyd it 😋 staff very friendly and helpful and welcoming. Will definitely recommend 👌

Brilliant pub , up on the Pennines ! I have visited and eaten here many times!! Today I had a proper Yorkshire Farmers Dinner , Barnsley Chop! It was huge!!!! A fantastic GLUTEN FREE option!! The GLUTEN FREE menu is great!! Lots of choice! It's a great place to come during the Summer too , to watch the Sunset!! The staff are very pleasant and helpful! It was rammed , so best to leave it until later to eat! One of my favourite pubs!

We have past this pub many times and decided to pop in for a light lunch after walking around Baitings Dam. Avery warm welcome awaits. Friendly helpful and efficient staff. Great food. Nice ambiance. Perfect in every way!

We didn’t go into the pub we went for a walk around which was very nice a bit windy but plenty of places to walk with the kids and dog

Thanks Ivan and is lovely sister in law. And is staff who are highly thought of by there employers. Hand on heart I've never Heard anyone anywhere big there chef's and staff up so much. Id give you ten stars not 5 . Made us feel so welcoming and at home. And thank our lucky stars it was cooked to perfection. Would definitely recommend. Shame we don't have that Passion in town centre's and other built up area's. Real people that connect with you. X

The white House has been serving food for many years, the restaurant is normally quite busy but you don't have to book. I visited last week with a group of four, I had a rump steak with egg, chips and vegetables. The steak was cooked to medium to well the flesh was pink and juicy however the steak was very tough to eat so tough it was difficult to cut even with a steak knife. I was very disappointed and left most of the steak. I understand it is difficult particularly in these times to make the business profitable but I would sooner have a quality steak at half the size to ensure the meal is more enjoyable. The other three guests had a sirloin steak, chicken in a leak sauce, salmon in a sauce. Two guests had a sweet course. The waiters and waitress's were all very friendly and provided a quick service. Unfortunately our other guests were underwhelmed by the quality of the food compared with other local restaurants and for us will not be returning.

We visited for dinner, which was good. The food wasn't gastropub standard but better than your average chain pubs certainly. It's a lovely old building and has a great, extensive beer garden for summer days. As a family meal with kids they had good options for the little ones. As it got later the pub definitely became more of a drinking / social spot than a restaurant so perhaps go on the earlier side if you're eating with children.

Think overall not a great place considering all that Disbury has to offer, would advise looking more in to the town Centre. This Mitchell and Butlers is over priced for food that is clearly just stuck in an oven/fryer straight from the freezer. The highlight was the £8.50 miso chicken skewers- which was probably the equivalent of a 1/3 of a chicken breast on a poor ‘salad’ with a cheap sugary miso imitation sauce. All of the portion sizes were tiny - even for small plates and not representative of the prices charged, with most of them being at least £8. Overall not particularly impressed.

Lovely privet little pub 1st time in had 3plates £17 really worth it for 2 people will definitely be returning

Loved my steak, quite affordable, and tasty! Great service and it was a lovely experience.

We’ve always been a fan of the Woodstock since we first went when we lived in Didsbury, ten years ago! Today we visited for the first time with our new baby daughter to celebrate our third wedding anniversary with a roast! The Woodstock we believe, do the best roasts in the area. This one didn’t disappoint, and the chicken was as succulent as ever. We also enjoyed the puddings afterwards. It was a really jovial atmosphere and it was also relaxing and nice to have a meal prepared for us with such care. The service staff were also excellent and happy to help. Overall, I rate this meal 10/10. Thanks again for making our third anniversary special and relaxed. As new parents, we really appreciate being looked after, cooked for and cared for!

Was served by the Lovely Emily who was our waitress during the service. Could not fault the food at all (I had thr Burger and chips). It was juicy and had all the veg, bacon and beef I was looking for!) Catered to us brilliantly and even provided us with new Condiments. She was always smiling and joked about her height when she provided is fresh cultalry. Overall a lovely experience, a lovely Pub and a great waitress! Don't let her go as she was amazing throughout! 5 stars, will definitely return when we can!!!

This was... OK. The place seems nice but very much set up for maximum income. Several items (including, but not only, everything cooked in their pizza oven) off the menu, things asked for not delivered... The food didn't make us feel like we were getting great value for money. It wasn't terrible, just... not good.

Went in for Saturday dinner. Fairly quiet , especially given the weather, good sized beer garden almost empty. Apparently this place has just changed ownership and got a new menu, staff were apologetic saying food might take a while. It didn’t really and we weren’t disappointed! Rag pudding was spot on. Excellent choice of beers. Free roadside parking after 6pm. Lovely old style pub, will definitely go back

Fabulous pub serving food and drinks within a traditional 40s 50s pub decor. Many intriguing cask ales to choose from and really good perk scratchings. Ab fab 😁

Great menu. Great beer. Great atmosphere. Just made a trip down to the Baum in the centre of Rochdale - lovely venue with a fantastic feel to it. Local brews on the cask line is always nice to see, I had the alchemist by Pictish brewery (a favourite of mine). The food was fantastic, I had the 3 for £20 deal on the small plates; the black pudding scotch egg, the ribs, and the smoked salmon and prawn. It was hard to choose my favourite of the three dishes however, I came to the conclusion that the black pudding scotch egg just tipped it. The ribs fell off the bone and were full of flavour and the smoked salmon and prawns I treated like lettuce tacos!

One of the best pubs in Rochdale. It has a homely feel, a quirky interior, a great selection of beers, and very friendly staff. I had a couple of beers, and then the cheese and onion pie with chips and beans. The food was decent and value for money, and it came out quickly despite it being a Saturday.

Excellent local in the centre of Rochdale. Well kept real ale and heart home cooked food. Definitely worth a visit.

Heard many many good things about The Baum. Did not disappoint . Proper olde worlde decor (genuine not fake or plasticcy). Excellent range of beers. Traditional pub food served but done exceptionally well. (Wimped out and went for fish and chips). Was well done and presented. Maybe next time I'll be brave enough to go for the rag pudding and chips 😁😁. Will definitely return and highly recommend to everyone

New owners Dan and Nic are making a real go of #thebaum. Our server Ben was very helpful and polite when we called in for some grub last evening, whilst still sunny. We sat in the secret beer garden, which not many people are aware of, so maybe #the baum could advertise it more. It's very big with lots of tables and hidden from the main road, a proper sun trap. We both ordered the Katsu chicken curry, with rice, flatbread, spring onions, and chillis, wow that Katsu sauce has a kick to it, the chicken was very tender, also we had a portion of lightly salted fries, very moreish. The menu is changing today, Friday, but according to Ben, some of the dishes will still remain, plus some new ones, something for everyone, a great choice so you should enjoy your selection. Great selection of real ales, I had a rack of 3 to start with, and Diana had a J2O apple and mango with the food. Then she had a cheeky glass of Chardonnay, a large choice of wines available, I treated myself to a pint of Budvar from the Czech Republic, pure nectar. The majority of customers were also drinking this premium lager, a well-kept pint, whoever manages the cellar, well done. Dog friendly inside and outside, always a bonus, constructive comment, Dan and Nic, maybe consider asking customers to take their cutlery and condiments out with them after ordering, as we had to wait for both when our food arrived , but it wasn't an issue. We are looking forward to visiting again to try your new menu very soon. Please keep up the excellent work 🙏

I discovered The Molly House one afternoon in Manchester — by pure chance — and what followed was a genuine revelation. As a former chef myself, well-versed in fine dining, it’s not easy to impress me — especially with simple ingredients. But here, simplicity was elevated to perfection. Every dish carried refinement and heart in equal measure. The food was spectacular: slow-cooked pork cheeks that melted into pure bliss (among the best I’ve ever had), tender roasted chicken infused with garlic, delicate shrimp pearls bursting with flavor, crisp breaded green olives, and soft white cabbage dressed with pesto and paprika — which unexpectedly became my absolute favorite, even ahead of the pork cheeks. It was my Ratatouille moment — that rare instant when taste and memory collide, when a meal becomes an experience. In a new city, I didn’t expect to find such warmth and authenticity, both on the plate and among the people. The gentleman behind the bar took his time to explain every beer with genuine enthusiasm and deep knowledge — a small gesture that made a big impression. My heartfelt thanks to the chef and the bartender for their care, passion, and dedication — you turned an ordinary afternoon into something truly special. The Molly House isn’t just a place to eat or drink — it’s where hospitality, craftsmanship, and soul meet. Thank You! Sincerely Constantin

The waitress was lovely. Nice for a chat and checking to see if was all good. The food was outstanding. Those scallops made my whole night.

Great bar and atmosphere. Service is a bit poor unless the lass who runs it is present but great for big trip beers. Some of the regulars are a bit snobby but in general it's a good vibe. "All gender" as the best v blues should be. Nice outside balcony upstairs. Not eaten here yet but food always smells delicious.

We have often met friends for drinks at the Molly House but hadn't ever sat down to eat their fantastic tapas menu. Croquetas (three kinds, the chunky prawn ones with seaweed mayo were our favourite, along with lovely slow-cooked pork cheeks in red wine, steak with chermoula, and some extraordinarily tasty chicken thighs in a garlic and sherry sauce. I could have eaten a bucket of those. Finished off with a lovely slice of Basque cheesecake, sherry-soaked raisins on the side. Extremely good food, great service, lovely place to sit and eat. And, with a bottle of Grenache, excellent value. 100% recommend.

Always wonderful to go for a drink, finally tried the tapas tonight and it's a wonderful condensed menu of different small plates! All presented lovingly and with attention to detail as well as delicious. Dog friendly which is wonderful so we could bring our family dog. Thanks to Dominic who was very welcoming and friendly throughout our dinner. :)

Friendly approachable staff, amazing food great choice of beer

Not a bad Venue and drinks were reasonable prices. Service was also good. Unfortunately what wasn’t good was being talked about by two gentlemen at the bar who seemed to have something to discuss about me, even though all I did was order a rum & coke. Walked out and won’t be going back.

Such a gem! Perfectly kept beer, great choice of it as well and brilliant friendly staff. Place to visit for sure. 🍻

Awesome place to chill, & enjoy a drink, and a pie. Great real ales, Belgian beers, wines, & spirits. Easy to get to by train, so no need to worry about driving home after a good time.

Meat and Potato pie. Very Nice. Always have 2 or 3 Brown Coffees. Which are brought to me when I'm in the Back room. Normal Tuesday Music. Love the place. XXX

Historic buffet bar located on the railway station platform. Authentically fitted out. Several ales on. I can’t remember visiting a better pub at a working station. Highly recommended.. 🍻 🚂

It is a great place to go and an extensive range of beers. It's definitely worth a visit.

A lovely hidden gem, tucked away on platform 4 of Stalybridge station. Excellent and extensive beer selection. Food limited to (very good) pork pies, pork scratchings and crisps. Great decor with loads of railway memorabilia.

An epic train station buffet bar. Not a destination for culinary masterpieces - they were out of black peas and only had microwaved cheese and onion pies - but he craft and real ale selection was good and worth the trip.

Incredible little boozer. It genuinely is tiny. We visted on a busy Saturday afternoon and the staff were doing a great job of not only serving people but managing where people could actually sit or stand. The two real ales they've got on tap were both on fantastic form, and we only paid £7 for 2 pints which is just incredible in 2025. Great united memorabilia on the walls too

I love this place. I stumbled upon it by chance. I was staying across the street at the townhouse. I saw a few pubs out the windows so I thought I should explore. I am so happy I stopped in. When you wall through the door you are greeted by a towering figure with a huge grin and really good energy. His name is Barry, hes the owner. The bar itself is about 3 feet in length and Barry asks you what youre having then tell you to go find a seat. There's 2 rooms with seats and TV, everyone gets to know each other there. Barry makes sure the energy stays positive, the pints are very reasonably priced, and you will have a good time. Im from San Diego, and will definitely be back! If youre anywhere near the area, make sure you stop in for a pint. You wont regret it.

This fabulous place has the smallest bar and biggest welcome anywhere. For those that are old enough, a traditional pub with a landlord 3 times bigger than his actual bar. Great atmosphere, great fun enjoyed by folk from across the world. Great beer, good prices Great punters all things that make a stranger welcome.

A very small & cosy pub. Great atmosphere, lovely selection of beer & great conversation. Highly recommend a visit!

As a United fan in Manchester for the first time I couldn't have come to a better pub! A small taste of the the joy of Old Trafford to come!

Very cool little bar. I've seen bigger home bars. Lots of cool United and sporting memorabilia on the walls. Guiness wasn't the best but great vibes in the place. Worth a visit for a cool cosy pint.

You have to try it just to be served at the smallest bar you have ever seen. Decent cask beer and for United fans the most fantastic pieces of memorabilia from the 1960's . Yet another of Manchester's really old pubs still here today.

We stopped by for a quick drink and sat in the spacious outdoor seating area. They have a ton of great beer options which is always the draw for a beer nerd like myself. It was very busy at the time we arrived as they had a quiz night in full swing. Service was pretty standard so no complaints.

We stopped by the Crown & Kettle on a Sunday evening around 6:30pm and it was surprisingly calm and relaxed. What I liked most was that it felt more like sitting in a café than a busy pub - quiet enough to have a proper chat without shouting over the crowd. They've got an impressive range of craft beers on tap. I tried the Juice Forsyth, a fruity IPA at 5%, which was really enjoyable - refreshing without being too heavy. The Guinness, on the other hand, was just average. It wasn't bad, but definitely not at the level of the one you'd get at Mulligans. Overall, it's a cozy spot if you're looking for somewhere laid-back with a wide beer selection and a calmer atmosphere than your usual city pub.

Always the first stop when getting into Manchester. The building is stunning, and it looks even better since they renovated the bar area and knocked through to the other side. Great selection of drinks and always fantastic music playing in the background. Highly recommended.

Stripped-back pub in a heritage building serving over 24 taps of craft and cask beers from across the UK and beyond. Cosy atmosphere and several distinct seating areas make for a snug vibe.

Amazing old pub An old Georgian Court house. Great choice in beers

Came for one drink, the Lilly’s pineapple cider is delicious! The decor is traditional, very quaint.

The Crown and Kettle is a lovely pub with a good selection of cask and keg beers and ciders from various breweries all of which that we had were in perfect condition and was simply a pleasure to drink there. All in all a lovely pub that will suit everyone.

Great food with fantastic flavours. Panzanella had a rainbow medley of tomatoes with a really tasty burella. It was missing a bit more texture/bread, however very filling. Kimchi tempura was inventive and unusual. Again, really good flavours with coconut yoghurt a good compliment. Steaks were cooked to perfection (minor but would've preferred steak knives). Berry crumble was perfect with a crunchy flaked almond topping.

Had a great 3 course Sunday roast. Every course was amazing. I’d never been here or even heard of this place before but will deffo be recommending to mates. A particular highlight was our server Alex C, he took great care of us and was great.

super cute bar in manchester! loved their deals. i got a 2-for-1 on rosé and it was totally worth it. it’s a bit on the pricier side for manchester, but honestly, the vibes make it worth it. definitely coming back!

I’ve been here a few times, mainly for Sunday lunch, and they never disappoint. The food is always spot on - cooked perfectly, full of flavour, and really well presented. There’s a nice variety of dishes too, so there’s always something that hits the spot. The staff are super friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. The atmosphere is really chilled compared to most pubs, which I love. It’s relaxed without losing that cosy pub feel. And there’s always a great mix of music playing in the background, which adds to the vibe. All in all, it’s just a lovely place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon with good food, good energy and a selection of board games too.

Visited recently for a Sunday roast and wasn’t disappointed. The staff were really friendly. What’s surprising is how it isn’t busier with it being so central - will return.

A very unreliable venue. It is not acceptable to take bookings and then cancel with no reason - especially with such little notice. I cannot recommend a business that behaves in this way - especially as it has impacted on other businesses in the area (hotels, travel services, shopping etc). Every business has the right to refuse custom but not the moral right to take bookings and then cancel for no good reason. (What would consitute a good reason? Perhaps the prospect of criminal or unlawful behaviour. But they knew full well that the event they cancelled was not going to be like that). I'd advise people to avoid this venue. Customers should not have to prove their worthiness to purchase services, it is up to businesses to attract customers with an excellent product and good service. Margins can't be as tight as they claim if thay can afford to do this to over 100+ clients. Employees, watch out, you may be out of a job soon.

Our waiter Alex was amazing at a last minute he pulled together an amazing 18th birthday meal making the birthday girl feel very special with 10 minutes notice. Not only that but the food and service was amazing especially for a party of 10. Would recommend!

Lovely pub on the outskirts of the city centre. Excellent music and great decor. Cash is not accepted.

Busy and loud even at 4.30pm on a Tuesday in mid October. This was a visit for nostalgia purposes, returning after almost 50 years. A good range of well kept beers and a range of homemade pizzas provided an interesting jog to the memory. It's also now a thriving live music venue ideally located close to Manchester universities.

Great rock bar. Itd get 5* if the music was a bit louder (but then you'd get people whinge it was too loud I suppose). Decent choice of beers I've not had the pizzas there yet, but lads on next table were saying they were great

My 1st visit, loved the atmosphere. Brilliant music being played. Nice friendly staff and not overpriced. Card only!

Great little rock pub right next to Oxford Road Station. Perfect for a pre gig drink, for which you'll get 10% off. Decent sheltered smoking area out back too

Never disappoints, my go to stop on my way in or out of Oxford Rd Station. Always has a good variety of decent, well kept beer. Pizzas look good too but I've never tried one...

I love this place. Good tunes, good vibes, discount if you’ve got a gig ticket. Pizza is decent too! Lots of choices for drinks, ales beers etc.

Great Pub with tiled exterior. Feels like a proper old style pub Few different rooms. Service was swift considering how busy it was. Didn't eat so can't comment on food. Definitely worth a visit

I took my friend to show him what I think is one of the most amazing pubs in Manchester, with great history, however when we visited at about 14.20 on Wednesday ( just in case the owner wants to speak to her ) the person behind the bar was the most miserable, unpleasant, uninterested bar person I have come across in a long time , she even struggled to ask for our order she was so disinterested Even when people were coming in from graduation, who were all very excited she just couldn’t be bothered speaking to anyone , apart from her friend at the end of the bar If I do visit again , and she is there we will just walk straight out and go somewhere we are welcome

Just a perfect old boozer. Beautiful old style wood and tiles, nice bar and snug. Quality real ale and friendly staff and regulars.

The loveliest most British old pub 🫶🏼 Only snacks are served, music and wine were wonderful.

Great place. Really well kept. A lot of charisma in the place. The staff that served us were good. Look to return when in Manchester.

Fantastic british pub with great vibe and rich history.

This beautiful traditional pub is a Manchester institution. Very friendly staff and a convivial atmosphere with a good range of beers on tap

Absolutely delicious meal at the new Horse and Jockey tonight- fun twist on onion soup to start, superb fish and chips- not greasy at all just super tasty. My husband loves his steak and he said that his meal tonight rated up there as one of the best he has had! Attentive and lovely service from Naomi too. 100% recommend. Great to have a new spot to eat in Chorlton. We will return!

The new owners have really done the old pub proud. Beautifully furnished, great service and fantastic food. The food was outstanding. Definitely recommend the roast. Well done to staff and new owners you’ve definitely brought love and life back into the H&J. .

We had a lovely meal. The spatchcock was delicious! The sirloin was great, and the sticky toffee pudding was amazing Naomi was our waitress, she was great 👍

The food is incredible, it was hard to know what to pick as everything looked so good. The shepherds pie and ox cheek were 10/10. Our waiter Will was really helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere was great and the new refurbishment has been done brilliantly.

Beautiful Sunday Roast at the Horse and Jockey! Our host Chris was fab, 10 out of 10 for service 👏 I’ll definitely be back again. The sticky toffee pudding was divine!

Went in for dinner tonight and wasn't disappointed! From the moment we arrived the various staff couldn't have made us feel more welcome. The atmosphere was warm and cosy, a lovely gentle buzz around the busy pub. The place looks amazing, a lot of effort, thought and love have gone into the refurbishment, yet it looks so lived in, very comfortable. The food was outstanding, hubby had the steak and creamy mash, loved it. I gingerly ordered the Spanakopita, have to say it was the best I've had! The pickled walnuts were a fab addition. Look forward to a return visit, so lucky this gem is on my doorstep!

Four of us went to The Horse and Jockey for lunch and had such a great time. The place looks amazing after the refurb — really fresh and welcoming. The service was fabulous. Our waiter, Will, couldn’t have been nicer or more attentive. The food was fantastic too. I had the scallops to start and the ox cheek for my main. Both were delicious but the ox cheek was especially good. Rich and full of flavour. We’ll definitely be back to try more things on the menu :)

Probably the best craft/cask pub in Greater Manchester. Fantastic selection of beers with friendly (and very efficient)staff and a convivial atmosphere. Pool table and darts are popular too. You can also order pizzas 🍕 from the oven in the beer garden. Cheers 🍻

An oasis in Stockport like entering and leaving different worlds, lovely decor and a fantastic selection of beers something for everyone, had ‘Karen From Accounts” they had “Dirty stopout” last night also a “Disco Balls” if you’re in Stockport come here, nice staff friendly locals

Well, what a nice surprise. Went here on one Friday evening with another family member. For a really good traditional craft beer pub, I wouldn't expect it to be as busy. But it was packed with customers, young and old. Staff were super quick to serve, nice atmosphere. And the pizza place outside was definitely a reason to return. Great beer selection too BTW.

An absolute drinkers paradise with friendly, efficient service. It’s only Monday and we have 11 of the 12 cask ales pouring plus additional craft keg lines. A truly fantastic pub to visit and lament that there’s not more like it.

Superb proper pub - excellent setup with upstairs space and public / lounge bars. Great range of beers. Perfect.

For me this pub is a real ale 5* heaven. Been about 5 times in the past. Thirteen of fourteen handpumps available on my Candlemass visit. I even found a new brewery..Flying Gang from Ponteland. I had an excellent pint of Spanish Gold £4.20. Casta not so happy as the rosé wine was Zinfandle which he dislikes intensely and thus settled on a cider, £4.10 a pint. The many rooms wrap round the central bar. There is also a covered courtyard/conservatory to rear. No TV'S thankfully but there is a games room with a pool table and two dart boards. Also books and boardgames available. Littlewoods pies and bar snacks. Not a food pub. Super visit for me. Casta not so happy.

It’s a pub that sources many of its beers from micro-breweries (and is itself a micropub) — so don’t expect many (if any) of your staple drinks on draught… but if you go there with an open mind, then you won’t be disappointed

Nice pub. Small but fun. Fantastic choice of session ales on tap. Very welcoming. Dog friendly. Worth a visit for a pint if you are about but not worth travelling to if you are the other side of town. Depends what you are after.

Went to The Angel last night for a friends birthday. We had the room upstairs we were a large party of fifteen. It was amazing. Really really good value for money. The staff were friendly and helpful and they kept checking in on us to see if we needed more drinks but also gave us space to enjoy ourselves. Definitely recommend. Photos don't do it justice at all. Best roast in Manchester!

The food here is wicked good. Had the steak & frites, with a cheese platter to round it all off. Very agreeable, very noice. Get down here ASAP before the hordes discover it, proper hidden gem. Solid beer lineup downstairs too 💪

Omg!!! Dan (the chef that made the best steak I've ever had) and the team in the Angel have given me the perfect dinner and ambience. Seriously, the steak frite are to die for and couldn't have tasted more wonderful. John David and Emily made it awesome. Seriously - come visit if you're nearby. Honest, lush food and a wicked atmosphere xxx Pic of empty plates cos nom nom nom 😆

Stopped by The Angel before attending an evening seminar. Had heard from a friend they were serving food and was well worth a visit. Ordered a steak baguette and chips. My God I was not disappointed. Great value for money and absolutely stunning food!!! Recommend to anyone whose into good food and good ale.

Absolutely amazing meal!! Perfect steak and frites in a very cosy laid back atmosphere! Not many places like this is Manchester - lovely chef who served the food too! We had a great experience. Will be back to try the roast very soon 🤩

I’ve been to The Angel before for drinks but didn’t know they did a roast! After some friends recommended it, I went today, and honestly, it’s easily one of the top three best roasts in Manchester! I went for the beef, and it was DELICIOUS. The cauli cheese is included with your roast (but you can order extra as a side too), which was a great surprise! Special mention to the blonde Canadian bartender who gave us such great service, the cherry on top! I left with a full belly and a big smile on my face :))

Proper local pub serving top ales with loads of choice. The bar snacks are top notch too and everyone is really welcoming. They do pop up food vans out the front too which is great.

Brilliant outdoor weekend with food stands and bands, great atmosphere

Great community owned classic pub. Good rotation of real ales with the usual keg offerings. Didn’t try the food, but enjoyed a few beers. Nice staff, and a fun trivia night on Thursdays

Top night tonight for #ThumbFoodFriday which happens every month on the second Friday. Amazing community pub with lovely people made better with street food. Wished I lived closer to this gorgeous establishment.

Superb local. Always somebody to talk to. Very welcoming. Great first 6 months since reopening. Let’s hope more of the same and all the future plans come to fruition

Fantastic community owned pub, keeps winning awards 👏 I attend the monthly 'Thumbs' walks on a Sunday organised by Tony & Sue, can't think a better way of spending a Sunday. Sandwiches & great beer after an informative walk around the Marple area.

Best pint I've had in a long time.

The ambience is amazing and very elegant. We attended there for my birthday celebration and the staff were very welcoming from the start to the end of our visit. Our waiter ,Nancy, was brilliant! From explaining the food , making recommendations and taking extremely good pictures of us. The service was excellent, quick and stress free. She made our evening and the meal more enjoyable. We got 2 starters and 2 mains. Unfortunately the food does not meet the standards of the atmosphere as it was quite bland. I would not advise you to order the chicken dishes as we found it quite bland ( no taste, no salt).However, their seafood was better and delicious. I got the prawns. Their terrace is perfect for a hot summer day or night meal, but if you don’t smoke or can’t stand the smell you might want to sit inside.

Dinner with the most fabulous views of Manchester. After our son completed the Manchester Half Marathon, we wanted to eat somewhere nice to celebrate. We booked 20 stories the evening before. The decor & service great. Nice selection of professionally made drinks. Food delicious, 3 out of the 4 of us had the beef Sunday roast, excellent value at £26. It came with a side of cauliflower cheese, clean plates all round. Would highly recommended even going for drinks as they have a fab outdoors area with blankets and heaters too.

We went to the blackout / candlelight evening on Sunday. Food was pretty good and it was a set menu. My husband enjoyed his more than myself. I’m vegan and the food was good 7.5/10 but I wasn’t full! I felt like going for a bag a chips afterwards!!! The main course was little more than a small potato and a medium sized beetroot! A shame because the place was lit beautifully and the views of Manchester were superb. Our server Daniel needs a huge mention and recognition as we both felt he was outstanding. He was lovely and very attentive without being overbearing. He had the knack of knowing when to chat and offer service and was personable and respectful and polite. Had a great manner and was a credit to the restaurant. We would definitely return but would hope for a better menu. After all it was £100 per person and to leave unsatisfied was a disappointment

We had a lovely dinner here the other night to celebrate our anniversary and our server was the wonderful Nancy who despite having a full section of tables throughout our entire meal was so attentive and professional. She made us feel so welcome and helped make our celebration so special. We loved our dinner and will return for other special occasions because of the attention to detail Nancy had and how all of her reccomendations hit the mark.

Always wanted to go here but never got around to it and we’ve now been twice in the last two weeks. We only went in for a drink, once in the day and once at night. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The views you get of Manchester were breathtaking and I’d recommend going both in the day time and at night. I had an IPA which was really nice and not too overpriced considering the venue and experience you get.

First time at 20 Stories, my wife booked it for my 40th and we both absolutely loved it. The service was amazing, food was great and despite the Manchester rain the atmosphere was brilliant even on the terrace. Special mention to Ella the hostess who was brilliant throughout the whole process, booking to leaving. We will definitely be coming back!

As my first time visit to Manchester! 20 Stories leave you with 100 memories! Chick decor! Great views and Amazing service! Robert was just beyond welcoming and helpful! I have my first afternoon tea experience! He guide us through the menu! And make sure our experience was just perfect! Until next time 20 stories! Thanks for a memorable day!

A lovely setting to have a pub with a fabulous view too! Super nice to see the fire roaring too with comfy seats nearby so big points for that Sadly. the availability of food and drink isn’t great. We went in at 11am, after having one Latte with Oat Milk, I was the told they have no oat milk left and equally no non-dairy substitutes at all (Soya milk etc). This sadly meant I couldn’t have another hot drink. The menu offering for anything plant based was lacklustre to say the least. I opted for chips - was told they’d have to go in the oven to be vegan - and they were droopy and crappy chips - not worth the £7.50 for the small bowl of soggy chips! What a shame!

Always have friendly staff and good atmosphere and of course amazing views!! Great to have a nice long walk nearby and finish up here for a quick pint or even meet and catch up with friends/family over some tasty food. Only issue i personally have is there isn't many dairy free options but what is available is tasty. Swe you after our next weekly walk.

Lovely meal of hand battered cod and beautiful golden chips with tartar sauce and mushy peas. Service spot on friendly efficient and knowledge about their role and the food and drinks. But to top it all a vista to cherish through the window with a bonus of aircrafte descending to Manchester Airport.well worth the drive from the city.

Great pubs with great views. It’s an old building, so many low beams inside. If you’re over 5’ 9 or so- you’re likely to need to duck Atleast once. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating - as most people come for the views. Whilst it’s not really advertised too much- you can order through the Greene King app. It can get V busy on certain days, like Sunday. So may be best to pre book. Otherwise, expect wait times. One of few pubs that hasn’t sold their car park and does not require any kind of adding your reg to an in bar iPad. So that’s good.

Excellent food great friendly service from cara and helen. Chef Sam did an amazing job with our food one of the best mixed grills ive had. Thank you all it was a brilliant anniversary meal for my wife and I.

Georgia delivered a great service this evening, lovely banter too.The food hmm mixed reviews, the mixed grill was very nice and the onion rings, it just needed more sauce in my opinion.The toad in the hole was rather crispy and the gravy very thick. The mashed potato was mixed with cabbage that was not expected. The halloumi fries are excellent 👌. The butternut squash soup was very nice too. Lovely pub will visit again☺️

We had a lovely meal both chose the Steak pie & Sticky Toffee Pudding for Desert. The food was exceptional and the staff were fantastic, so friendly & welcoming. The view over Werneth Low is just stunning, we can't wait to come back

The place was amazing and the beers we had were really delicious. The gentleman who helped us was very kind and recommended some great beers. Since we’re new to the city, we didn’t know much, but he made our experience wonderful. We had such a great time. Definitely a must-visit!

Mr Thomas’s Chop House is a charming slice of old-Manchester — with its Victorian tiles, narrow layout, and historic atmosphere, it feels like stepping into the past.  The menu sticks to classic British fare — think hearty dishes like corned beef hash, steak & kidney pudding, and traditional roasts.  Many diners praise the corned beef hash in particular.  Service reviews are mixed: polite and attentive at times, though some guests note slow food delivery and occasional crowding delays.

The instant my boots clacked across the tiled floor of Mr Thomas’s Chop House, I could feel the history. Ancient gravy spirits swirled through the air, whispering secrets of Sunday lunches past. I was ready, ready to be transported into a poultry paradise. And then… it happened. The Table. Of. Diners. A coven of noise warlocks, shrieking with such ferocity I thought the chandeliers might shatter into a thousand gravy boats. They didn’t converse, they broadcast, each story launched at full stadium volume as though auditioning for a West End musical called Obnoxious: The Reckoning. Every guffaw ricocheted through my skull. My Yorkshire pudding quivered in terror. I tried to focus. The roast chicken descended before me and my esteemed associate, Mr Matthews, a bird so golden it must have been blessed by Apollo himself. Its gravy pooled like liquid time. Yet every bite was polluted by sonic warfare from the next table. Imagine trying to commune with poultry divinity while being aurally waterboarded by a gang of self anointed raconteurs. Verdict: A glorious roast sabotaged by noise demons. Like eating with a pack of hyenas.

I was with a large group. Ordered a few days before arriving. We were given a menu with no prices on, but they had the menu online, so checked the prices on their website. We ate and then were given the prices, mine was £5 more than the online price. So questioned why it was more. The lady said oh the prices went up today, I said just today conveniently? She said yes unfortunately. But you still have the menu I saw online, on now. And that was the price I assumed we would be paying. Nobody said the prices were going to go up!! And if they were going up today! They should’ve let us know, don’t you think? They went up today because there was a conservative conference on! Also have a look at my photo, does that meal justify £34?? I had also ordered the side of green veg, but that didn’t come till after I had nearly finished my meal. And the green veg was £5 on top of the £34! So £39 for my meal. A pub meal! It tasted nice, but not worth the price. This is not a restaurant, it’s a pub meal. I thought the service was slow, we were booked in for 6pm and I didn’t get any food until 7.20. And then my veg came 10 mins later! £39 is totally over inflated for the price of my meal, because the conservative conference was in town! I ordered the Barnsley Chop. My friend had ordered the house pie, but was expecting at least some meat. The pie was mashed potatoes and cheese, no onion. She was hoping for at least chicken or steak. And she was charged £21 for a cheese and potato pie! I have to say I won’t be recommending Mr Thomas’s Chop House to anyone I’m afraid. I wasn’t impressed with the level of service or the lack of communication about the price of the menu. We should have been given the prices before we ate, instead they made it up to their liking. That’s really not the way to do business. We weren’t part of any political meeting, we were there on business, but nothing to do with what was happening in Manchester this week. I feel that the prices were inflated because of this, which was unfair. UPDATE We were not a party of 30, there was only about 20 of us, there was another group of people with a separate booking who were at our conference. The menu was exactly the same, I fail to see what you changed other than sticking £5 increase on everything! A bit of a steep increase I think, the food certainly does not justify the price! Frozen chips, not triple cooked. They looked and tasted just like McCain’s steak chips. It’s only a pub in Manchester, not a fancy restaurant. With regards to the pie, I’m 100% sure, that people expect a meat pie from a chop house, not cheese and mash. It’s just beige food carb overload. I would listen to your customers and change that pie. I was disappointed in the Mr Thomas’s Chop House and if I was the owner I’d definitely listen to your customer feedback and change the price, the service and the menu, and make it a better experience.

Had our Sunday Roast at this restaurant and we had a lovely time! The service was really nice and the food yummy. We recommend!

Beautiful Victorian pub. Lively tiling. Nice old vibe inside. Only popped in for a swift half of Guinness waiting on some friends. Very nice! Serves food…🍻

I took 8 colleagues here for a meal on Wednesday 24th Sep. 7 of my colleagues were from different EU countries, so I wanted to take them somewhere that served "proper English food"! Mr Thomas's Chop House did not disappoint. Everyone loved the food, especially the Famous Corned Beef Hash! The upgrade work to the toilets had been completed just a few days before our booking, and I can say the toilets were brilliant (as brilliant as toilets can be!) Would definitely visit again.

Had the Steak & Nicholson's pale ale pie and a Guinness 0.0%. Enjoyed it! The service from Arthur was attentive and friendly. He always has a smile and is genuine in his service delivery. 😊👍 Nice place to chill and dine too.

Called in yesterday for some food — it was busy but we managed to get a table. The food was incredible; you don’t find proper pub grub like that very often anymore. The staff were friendly and welcoming too. We’ll definitely be back.

We had dinner at The Old Wellington on two evenings because the food was so good and the atmosphere so cozy. The first floor has a great, warm ambiance. The staff are friendly. The food was delicious, especially the fish and chips, the vegetable pie, and the sticky toffee pudding. Highly recommended.

Had a wonderful experience here at the Old Wellington! We had a reservation for two at 7pm on a surprisingly busy Wednesday and were seated in the second floor dining area. There was one waiter working essentially the entire floor and did an awesome job considering that the establishment was evidently understaffed for how many people they were serving. While we did have to wait for our drinks, appetizers, and entrees, everything was delicious and worth the wait. The Pornstar Martini was delectable and I the beef ale pie was comforting and fulfilling! Would recommend for anyone looking for a traditional but curated English meal in Manchester!

Great food and very friendly and kind servers. Lovely atmosphere on a Saturday evening. Seating fairly available. Book for larger parties. Their pies are great. Full of flavor. Great menu options too!

Wow I was really pleased by the food standard here. Fantastic beef pie. Lovely brownie. I love the old pub new place feel. Good arrange of beers.

Not my first time eating here but it has been quite a while, so I was a bit disappointed with the pies tbh. We had a steak pie and the chicken and mushroom with chips instead of mash. Just to look at it was disappointing, chunky dry chips obviously from the freezer, with a roasted carrot on top (what is that about? Why not some more vegetables, some nice greens?) The steak pie was mainly gravy, the gravy was watery. It seemed half assed. I don’t think we’ll be ordering the pies here again now.

Didn’t have food. Amazing atmosphere, we sat outside listening to the live music. Very busy so ordered table service on the QR code this was great speedy delivery of drinks . Fantastic vibe!!!

If the venue is nice and in the middle of Manchester, the food is not at the same level .. came for a black tie event and find it very disapointing to end up with a chicken burger made of chicken.. and bread.. with some weird sauces. Would recommend for a drink but nit for a meal.

Had beautiful time with friend there. The food was amazing, staff friendly. Will be back there soon !

This was my favorite place in Manchester to chill and just have some drinks while the band play oasis covers. I enjoy the afternoon very much, the atmosphere, weather, everything was just perfect. Great place.

Went with a friend the other week and i would recommend the food as it was amazing. However the atmosphere was completely ruined as we overheard a server be dug into by someone i am guessing was management. The way that manager talked to that young man was awful and even after that he came to our table and gave the best service i have received in the city centre for a while. I can appreciate tough love but for that poor server to be dug into so loudly is just awful. Do better!!

A lovely bar in the centre of Spinningfields. A good selection of beers and wines. Lots of seating and some small fires out doors to take the chill of an autumnal evening. Prices reasonable for ales. Haven't eaten here.

We went yesterday for our end of year dance christmas meal!! Absolutely amazing service, quick, attentive and lovely staff!! Could not recommend more for big parties (there were 62 of us)! The teepee was so well decorated and it was so cosy, all our team loved it! We will definitely be back x

What a find! The Red Lion came up when googled places to stay nearby to bury for myself and best mate to stay for his birthday. The usual travelodge etc came up but I liked the idea of a pub outside of the town. It had great reviews already so I booked it. The hosts and team are very very welcoming and the bar area is lovely with comfy armchairs etc and fire. The bar most importantly is stacked with great choice and for me I loved the fact it had great cask ales and small batch beers not just your usual beers. Room was clean and tidy with traditional decor. Plenty of tea/coffee making facilities in the room. Breakfast was outstanding and plenty of it. I cannot recommend this highly enough. Thank you to the team for looking after us.

Really enjoyed our stay. Welcoming place for us and our dogs - dog treats provided which was a lovely touch. Staff could not have been more helpful and friendly even when we were part of a noisy lively group at breakfast. Bed comfy and room spacious. Would definitely recommend.

Went on a Saturday evening for a birthday, everything was superb! Staff were lovely and the service was great. Two of us had the steak and ale pie, that was amazing, sirloin steak...again perfect and one fish platter...spot on. We were served by Claire and were well looked after. Definitely recommend it!

Food..the Sunday dinner is the best I've ever had from a pub! You get a great variety of colourful veg and the 3 meats are lovely and well cooked..bargain really the plate is massive.. I have had 2 Sunday dinners at other locations when I've been on a day out the last few weeks, they don't come close! I recommend the Red Lion all the time, looking forward to this Sundays dinner 🍽 👌😊 and thanks to the chefs for being talented 😀

Popped in for food after a long day! Was served by Kelly who was extremely friendly and helpful and they were v accommodating to a slight tweak on the menu! Food was delicious as always! Highly recommend!

Excellent stay in this lovely pub/hotel. Food was excellent every single day including breakfast. Staff are lovely and make you feel very welcome.

We stayed here as a friend had recommended it and it was an add on to the 3 days we had spent in Manchester. It was originally a pub that we used to visit when we lived in Bolton. I cannot fault the hotel for food and drink, although understandable I was surprised that last orders was 10.00, perhaps different at weekends 🤔. The bedroom whilst clean and had everything you needed I felt that I felt it was a little tired. Our bed was comfortable but the mattress creaked dreadfully when sitting on it to get in and out of it. Having said all this the overall experience at the hotel was so good I have booked here again in October instead of the Holiday Inn, Bolton that I normally stay at when come to visit family

Great pub, great food, great staff. Always love coming here. The food is excellent and the staff are always friendly. The outside area is a great suntrap and brilliant for dogs. Great for any occasion.

Fantastic find!! Food was delicious and served really quickly considering how busy it was!! Great attentive staff (plenty of them!!) Scarlett and Mia were fantastic at the outside station and never stopped clearing and cleaning as soon as tables were vacated!! Atmosphere was great and even locals chatted to me, even though I'd never been here before!! I'll be coming again next time I'm in the area!!! Worth a visit for sure!!!

Usual White Lion experience of very pleasant surroundings and great service from the really lovely staff. However, I was slightly disappointed with my turkey dinner this time around. Turkey itself was very well cooked, tasty and succulent with a good portion. However: 1: The mashed potato was a bit bland. 2: The roast spuds were luke warm and the skins quite tough and rubbery (as though they had not be freshly cooked and had been under a heat lamp for a bit too long, and 3: There was not enough gravy which left the meal very dry, especially when the yorkshire pudding was massive. You really do need a lot of gravy with such a big pudding. Thanks

Really great venue. Met up with a friend and her lovely doggy. Enjoyed a nice drink and meal sat outside under the canopy. Upper friendly staff, nothing was too much. Friend ordered from the vegan menu and was really happy with her choice and I ordered the fajitas. Will be back soon a our new meeting place.

Lovely place with a very good and varied menu. Fantastic outdoor seating area and plenty of room inside too. Dogs are welcome in some areas but not all, so book if you are bringing a dog with you. They are well looked after with water too. There is a good car park to the rear if you are driving. Staff are always very polite and helpful. Have never been disappointed when I have visited. Lots of vegetarian choices for me on offer.

Great food, value and service at the recently refurbished White Lion. Several nights are themed including quiz and poker nights. On Saturday live music is sometimes also played to supplement the great beer and food. The pub is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner always to a high standard. For lunch and dinner booking a table is advised because of the pub's popularity. There is a main menu and a light bites menu and food on the latter menu is plentiful at lunchtime. In addition to the inside seating, there are outside booths which are pleasant, especially in good weather. April 2025 - recently redecorated in November 24 the food and service is still very good.

Just stopped here for lunch whilst on a long drive up north as it had great reviews and just off the M6. Save your money at the services and come here instead! Not only will you be helping a local business but you won't be disappointed! Food was great value and really tasty and fresh. The staff were super helpful and attentive. Dog friendly and even has a dog menu!

First time visit yesterday! Luckily we'd reserved as it was really busy. Prompt friendly service, lovely atmosphere and the food was outstanding! I had the Chicken Khao Soi and my wife and the prawn linguine. We both really loved our dishes - we'll be back soon!

We've just enjoyed the most delicious prosecco afternoon cream tea. Gorgeous setting, with smooth jazz band and singer for entertainment. Staff are polite and attentive. Our compliments to the kitchen and front of house staff. What a great afternoon. I love this place. Highly recommend.

What a gem. Loads of gluten free food on offer. Great service. 1 star down as it became much too loud at some point and we weren't offered to sit in the restauranty bit

This isn’t my first time visiting The Little Manor and I’ve always meant to leave a review because this place is just fantastic. The food is always really tasty, even when it’s super busy, and the quality never drops. The staff are lovely — really friendly, helpful, and just create a great atmosphere overall. It’s one of those places you just want to keep coming back to.😁

Unreal afternoon tea. All of the food was to die for, probably the best afternoon tea I’ve ever had. Staff were super friendly and helpful, bringing us everything we needed and checking everything was okay. Such a great atmosphere in this little place. Would highly recommend to everyone. Thank you to all of the team xx

1st time eating here and really enjoyed it. Lovely atmosphere and staff welcoming. Food was delicious.

Sunday lunch. Large dishes and worth it. This large pub/restaurant is out in the sticks, but amazed to see how full it gets. The only empty tables were out in the large beer garden, it was raining. Car park gets full. Good locale for walking the food off. Popular with families.

Small Brewdog pub in busy area. Usual industrial grunge decor. Standard Dog beers. DJ on when I visited. Decent food and beer but at very steep price for the area. Lost a star for promising to deliver my beer to table and it never came.

Ate at Peter Street Brewdog before going to a gig at Albert Halls. We were looked after brilliantly by Sophie. Food was excellent and as always the beer was great. The place was busy and had a great vibe. Will be back soon. Thanks guys.

A very nice bar with a great atmosphere in the center of Manchester. Mostly Brewdog beers of course. We were served by Jordan and James, they were really nice

Great experience here recently. The decor has the right amount of rustic charm with lots of natural light. Enjoyed some reading material whilst waiting and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Had a nice chat with them at the end. Many vegetarian options available on the menu too.

Tried some food here, was good food enjoyed it, bit of a shame part of the platter was a bit cold but overall good, not the best place to be for eating food very noisy pub, more for drinking of course cause the beer brew dog is awesome!

Visited yesterday afternoon for ‘wing stock’ unlimited wings, upon being seated we were informed the flavour of the day was not available, instant disappointment. Very unfortunate that you would advertise an event with a different flavour of wings every day of the week and then not have that flavour available. The first round of wings we ordered were buffalo wings, nice flavour but drowned in sauce. The lemon and garlic wings did not taste of lemon but once again drown in butter and not very appealing. After about an hour we then got told the tikka sauce for the flavour of the day was being made and would be available in 10 minutes, ready for our next round of wings, so we ordered. 30 minutes later still no wings, asked a member of staff to cancel our order as we had to leave and we had been waiting an extremely long time. After a visit to the kitchen she came back to tell us she’s sorry we had to wait there was a problem in the kitchen… if there was a problem why was we not informed? Why would we be left sat there with no food? waiting for an order that would not be arriving. Honestly overall a very disappointing visit, came for unlimited wings, left still hungry.

Always get excellent service here when I pop in at lunch time for food and a beer! Lovely team who take the time to get to know you and your order. Personally think despite being a chain that the buffalo chicken wings are some of the best in town.

Absolutely stunning. Relaxed atmosphere and surroundings with seriously good food. We were both totally blown away with the standard - this could stand proud among Michelin star restaurants. Amazing mix on the menu but even the most ‘standard’ of dishes are done with a twist. Simply cannot wait to go back, I actually had one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Amazing

The food was very visually pleasing. Staff were amazing and attentive. We had 2 deserts which were the best part.

Went on a sunny Friday evening for the first time in a few years. This used to be a decent gastropub and one of the first in the area for top notch pub grub. No longer, and perhaps I should have done some research beforehand. The place has gone distinctly average. The good was OK, just and the atmosphere was quiet with a half empty dining area. The service was attentive which was a redeeming feature. Not what I remembered so probably won’t be going back. Too many places in the neighbouring area are far better.

We visited on my birthday so it was a special occasion and the Church Green didn't disappoint. Delicious food, and friendly relaxed atmosphere. Would love to visit again in the summer and try the pizzas whilst sat outside in the beautiful garden. We had a starter, Sunday lunch and desserts and truly feel that we had gourmet meals. I had Smoked Oxtail to start, Roast belly pork for main and Lemon Tart for dessert. I didn't get pictures of my husband's starter or main but his dessert was Cherry Bakewell. Definitely recommended by both of us.

Friendly staff and great food in absolutely wonderful setting. Booked to sit outside. Ample amount of heating available to keep you warm if it gets cold in the evening. Menu has got a good variety of starters and mains. Mains portions are really good value for money and a small recommendation as said on the menu do keep some space for trying out the delicious deserts. Drinks are good quantity and very well done. Would definitely visit again to try more….

My family and I took a drive up from Liverpool for my sons 15th birthday. After following Aidan for a number of years I knew that the food would be on point and we were not disappointed, every dish perfectly cooked and seasoned . We all had a starter main and dessert, the black pudding scotch eggs , wow !! For a 20 minute drive for us this will most definitely be a more regular thing for us. Thank you again and we will be seeing you soon.

We came along yesterday with our pooches after a stroll round the dam, as per our first date 1.5 years ago! As always we had the BEST time! The staff are brilliant, the atmosphere and comfort, and the food and drink are spot on! A particular shout out to ‘Dave’/ Francesca/ Davecesca for being so welcoming and great with our dogs. And also a huge thank you to the kitchen staff for doing us a special request - a side of Frickles!! The fries were sexy too! We will be back more now my broken leg is so much better the (only reason we haven’t been back regularly!). Many thanks and see you soon, Lou & Luke + Bella, Minnie, Ludo and Gizmo 😊💖

Visited Sinclairs Oyster Bar twice during our recent Manchester trip. Went here for drinks and oysters. We also ordered fish & chips. The oysters were huge and fresh. The fish & chips was so good as well. Very good service and friendly staff.

Always a pleasure to come here. Great old fashioned cosy pub with plenty of seating/standing inside and out. Nice variety of beers on offer at seriously good prices especially for the centre of Manchester, in a prime location

Fantastic pub right in the heart of Manchester. Sam smiths brewery so you know exactly what you're getting. Larger for £2.80 is an absolute steal these days. Lovely country pub feel inside and good size beer garden. Can get busy when football and events on so plan accordingly!

Cute pub in a great location! The food was ok, service is self-service but very friendly! Would definitely go back for drinks!

The terrace is always busy, and it can be a bit tricky to find a spot – but it’s definitely worth it. A great place to enjoy a drink in a lively atmosphere. Highly recommended if you’re in Manchester

A wonderful place to enjoy the Manchester sunshine . The outside seating area is a suntrap on a sunny day . You can be guaranteed to strike up conversations with the other people who sit at your table . One of the cheapest places to drink in Manchester.

We went several times and always we found it amazing; also the oysters are very tasty and so big; best outdoor place in Manchester

Amazing pub, dog friendly (free dog treats and water). Beer garden and perfect for families and kids with a play area. Carlie offered a great service and very attentive, friendly bar staff, Ant will convince you to buy a double on a Sunday, food portions are massive and good value for food.

I ordered 3 scoops of ice-cream but only 2 scoops came!!! The ice-cream was still really good though and they gave me a caramel sauce on top of the ice-cream, they only have vanilla ice-cream. I then ordered chips or fries and they tasted delicious. The weather is great and t hey have a little park at the back with tables to sit down. Customer service is very good, they were very nice and the food came quickly. I still want my 3rd scoop....

Nice old pub by the river. Good food limited juice of beer though. Quite busy especially for a Tuesday. Shame they had run out of several things.

What can I say but how disappointed we are. This pub used to have decent, good fresh pub grub. Came in yesterday lunch. Ordered chilli con carne (advertised on menu as comes with rice, sour cream and tortilla chips.) Food came out with just rice. When I questioned the waitress she argued with me about it not stating that until I showed her the menu... the food came out Stone cold in the middle as it had been badly microwaved. So asked for it to be hot.. it came back out bubbling after being extremely microwaved. And again no tortillas, had to go hunt for my own cutlery after the waitress forgot twice.. asked again about the sour cream and tortillas. She begrudgingly went to find them. Tried the tastless, super microwaved chilli. And the rice. The rice was rock solid like inedible. Waitress come back with sour cream etc. Pointed out it was inedible and rice hard and I'd like it to be taken back and refunded. Which she did. Highly unorganised a d very poor service. I think they need a little more training on product, cleanliness and people skills.. the place wasn't even busy maybe ten tables maximum. If I could give zero stars I would

Nice on a nice day with loads of outdoor seating and dog friendly. Long time since I had food in there , average prices on beer. The huge advantage is being able to enjoy a walk round the lake and up the river , even over to Chorlton. I don't bother with the parking system and just park at the lake and have a walk. Inside , maybe a little old and tired but reasonable. It's great strength is that it is in a nice setting, and if you are out for a walk in that area there is no other rival pub in the vicinity.

Went to this pub after a kayaking trip and was pretty cold and wet. Was still welcomed by the really friendly staff. Service at the bar was quick. I didn't eat but I need to go back as the menu looked really good, with some veggie and vegan options.

What has happened to this once great establishment. Last orders at 730 rushed out by 8... The wall advertises food served till 730 at 5 was told the kitchens shut.... The place was quiet which doesnt suprise me. It honestly has nosed dived these past few yrs to a shell of its former self. Charges for the carpark if not using the pub has to be the main revenue as there litterally isnt anyone inside getting free parking... Shame .... Lots of nice memories here...

We went for a 90s night event on Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the place once in. Lots of choice of drinks and bars. Food was great from FUKU. The music even was busy and the atmosphere was great, will think about attending another night at some point.

Lovely atmosphere where street food, music, live shows all meet. Stalls with deliciously made street food from a wide range of chefs. Always looks at the website as they do live shows sometimes. Amex card holder's sometimes get VIP slots for shows. Why not give it a try for yourself.

Amazing & unique all in one entertainment and multiple restaurant complex. The food from Patterson's was some of the best that I have ever had. All the bar staff were very friendly and helpful. It's hard to describe what the place looks like as it's so unique. I really enjoyed my visit and will definitely go back.

This is a cool idea, they’ve put lots of nice food places in one big area Good vibes 😎 Nice food 🥘 Plenty of selection for various drinks too 🍺🍹 There’s usually live music on too so what more could you want? 😎💚

I have been a regular at Seconds Carvery since they opened up again this year, it is under new management and they came out with a bang! There is a live DJ playing at the venue every Sunday, the atmosphere is great and very lively but you can still talk easily. The roast beef is served rare/medium rare, or you can ask for it to be cooked for longer to your preference. The Bacon loin is delicious, very juicy and the honey mustard glaze is delightful. The half roast chicken is awesome, also very juicy and the meat comes from the bones very easily. Everything was cooked to perfection! The veggie offerings have also been great, I've so far, only tried the mushroom Wellington and a curry potato pie (for science) but both were super tasty. The trimmings are all great, very fresh and great quality - the yorkshire puddings are immense and the gravy is super tasty. My favourite part is the red cabbage, it has an almost winter spiced taste and it's gorgeous! To top it off, the trimmings are unlimited! Making it great value for money. Overall, a great experience and a lovely carvery. Great to have a good carvery in the city centre!

Visited a couple of weeks ago and managed to get a booking at Ornella's. We wanted to try it for months but we can hardly find last minute tables at the one in Denton. We were seated without delays, the staff were friendly and accommodating. However, the food did not live up to the expectations. We got the fried the fried ravioli as a starter and main the rigatoni alla vodka and the oven baked shells. The starter was too oily and could not have more than a couple. The rigatoni alla vodka was not edible, the amount of alcohol was too much and the dish was bitter. Moreover, the menu was not the same as the one in Denton but more like a short version of it. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy it and was not worth our money. Freight Island was able to deliver as usual. We spent a bit of time outdoors after our meal.

Family and friends joined me at Freight Island for David Rodigan. My first time there. Fantastic atmosphere 👏 delicious 😋 food, plenty to drink 🍸 I'm/we are looking forward to returning again soon. 🎶

Wanted to try a pub lunch in Manchester for once and ultimately ended up deciding on this place and I wasn’t disappointed. Everything is dead fresh and you can really taste that, the pie’s pastry was the best thing about it, the meat was delicious but average and the gravy didn’t have much flavour for me even though it repeated on me quite a lot. The burger was like a fist, I couldn’t believe how big it was. The cheese however didn’t have much flavour and the bacon whilst I understand the style of it, it’s way too thick and crispy for my liking. The beef was the best part about it actually which is the main part. The sides of the mash and chips, the mash whilst not outstanding, I loved the way it’s presented like London old school pie mash. But wow the chips, I’d go here just to eat the chips alone. The crispyness, the flavour, just everything about them was so good. My table didn’t have a menu and with there being no waiters, it’s a bit strange in 2025 to go up to the bar and ask for your food etc. Can’t beat a £5 double gin and lemonade either, wow what a price.

Personally this was a little find just when it was needed. Got a little alcove of a seating area with my company and ordered food and drinks. I think the photos say it all however if they don't appeal then I suggest you go in and try out their great menu. I haven't recommended any of the dishes as this is a personal choice.

Fantastic roast dinner. Large portion size, great flavours. Good value for money. I didn’t book, walked in solo on a Sunday. Seated on the end of a high table. Steady flow throughout the time I was there, staff were very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend when in Manchester.

★☆☆☆☆ Disappointing Experience – Poor Service and Misleading Promotion I rarely leave negative reviews unless I feel compelled to, but my experience at the Bay Horse Tavern was frustrating from start to finish. Upon arrival, I was greeted by one helpful staff member who made a good effort to find us a table while I waited for the rest of my group. Unfortunately, that was the only positive part of the visit. While waiting, I went to the bar to grab a quick drink. Despite acknowledging me and being fully aware that I’d been waiting for around 10 minutes, one of the bartenders (male) continuously served people who arrived after me. His attitude was dismissive, slow, and generally rude. He even refused to apply a staff discount for another customer simply because he couldn’t be bothered to cancel and re-enter an item—something that seemed entirely within his capability to do. When my party arrived, we were seated quickly, thanks again to the one helpful host. But things went downhill again from there. When I returned to the bar to order food, we told the bartender we were seated by the window, he snapped back, "That doesn’t help me," in a very rude tone—despite the table being only a couple of meters away. Once we gave him the table number, he seemed irritated. The whole interaction felt unnecessarily hostile and impatient. After ordering the fish and chips–which were promoted on some social media accounts as a full-sized portion available for £2.50 when purchased with any drink– we sat down and eagerly awaited our food. When it arrived, the portion was laughably small—nowhere near what had been promoted, I was genuinely shocked, even when comparing what had been given to others, mine was terribly small (SEE IMAGE 3). I politely raised this with the waiter, only to be met with a shrug and a dismissive, "To be honest, mate, I don’t know. I just started my shift five minutes ago." This was clearly untrue, as I had seen him serving outside at least 20 minutes earlier. It might have been better to simply offer the 50% off Fish & Chips all day, as I would have just done this. Waiting and bar staff should have also made this explicitly clear, but aside from the food, the whole handling wasn’t great at all. All in all, the service was at times rude, lazy, and unprofessional. Staff didn’t seem interested in helping or resolving even basic queries. The food I felt was not clearly advertised/promoted and poorly handled when questioned. It’s a real shame, as I have been coming to this venue on and off for years —but based on this experience, I don't think I will be returning.

Excellent place to get a meal and a pint. The chips are out of this world, and the steak and ale pie exceeded my expectations. The interior is lovely, and the service was great. Wonderful place to go for lunch in the Northern Quarter.

Nipped in for a quick lunchtime pie and a pint. The pie was fantastic! Great value on a Monday too! Music was a little loud and ‘heavy’ in my opinion, but overall would come back.

Wednesday half price lunch although they do add a service charge. Steak pie was very nice , chips not quite so good and only a small portion . Staff were friendly . Nice real ale though a bit pricey

This is an okay place to stop and try some foods you have never eaten before. The ambiance is good and cozy to sit around with your friends and watch some football matches. But we had to take orders ourselves, and service was utterly absurd. P.S. The prices are okay overall.

Popped in on a Wednesday afternoon for a Guinness..less said about that the better. Heard the pub had been done up recently, some nice artwork on the walks but all the lovely upholstered seats have been replaced by pretty uncomfortable hard backed furniture...service was very friendly. Note to Greene King..maybe some of the refurbishment budget for the gents toilet...they are grim and haven't changed in nearly 30 years!

Nice little spot, it's a chain but did a surprisingly good pint of Guinness, small outdoor seating area, cosy interior and staff were spot on. Couldn't fault it. Didn't get to try the food.

What an incredible find this was. Had some time to spare before getting a train from Oxford Road so thought we would spend it in here having a quick pint and ended up stopping for 3. Very welcoming towards us (I had 4 Under 18s in the group) but not a problem for them to be in the pub. The pub is well presented with lovely interior and a little on the quirky side I thought whilst retaining a proper traditional feel. Service was quick and efficient. Customers all friendly. So we returned on the way home for another stop off, much busier this time as it was after 6pm but still no issues getting served quickly and finding seats. Door Staff had appeared by this point and again they were very friendly, full of conversation and made us feel welcome and comfortable in entering the pub. Will definitely be making this our go to when in the area!

Two of us came in on Saturday. We had 4 pints of guiness and shated some company with two strangers who were very friendly. From St Helens we were looked after by a young lady Aday she was very friendly professional and helpful. Thank you we had a great time.

Typical old style English pub with very friendly staff and atmosphere. The food was delicious and plentiful.

come in here a couple of times randomly. the beer garden (?) is nice n the staff are lovely. the food also lush
