Abel Heywood in Manchester

Called in mid-afternoon for a pint and some food. Lovely traditional looking pub inside, friendly bar staff and a menu with enough options for everyone. We all chose the Sunday roast - excellent all round. Lots of fresh veg, decent gravy, tender beef and the ham was memorable, roast potatoes could have done with a few minutes longer in the oven but that might be personal preference. Generous portions, nicely presented and had a home-made feel. No issues at all and good value for the generous portion size.

Came for Sunday lunch with 7 friends would not return for Sunday lunch it was terrible. Potatoes Yorkshire not great and was only warm. Was looking forward to it left very disappointed sadly.

Great pub, great food, great service. It's one of these places where one loves to come back

Only came here for a drink, staff are excellent all round and the ales are fantastic, highly recommended

A lovely, comfortable pub with a wide selection of beers. Well worth stopping by.

Oh dear. I really wanted to like it. The service was friendly and polite. The food was the problem. I had the Abel Fry-up with scrambled egg. The eggs were like rubber. Completely inedible and clearly cooked in the microwave. The sausage was gristly and anaemic. Also not very warm. The beans were barely luke warm. I didn't get given any salt and pepper and nobody checked to see if my food was OK. The only bits I liked were the hash brown, black pudding and the bacon was just ok.

Had a lovely meal upstairs, very nice room, great srevice and gorgeous food, didn't stay overnight but would do if I needed to.

Great cocktails. Great atmosphere

We were there for a quick dinner and it was perfect: live music, good beers, good food, can't ask for much more! 🍻

I would never consider this to be a boutique hotel , it was Blackpool standard at best , paid £175 for the night which was already apparently a discounted price to be met upon arrival with the smallest hotel room I’ve ever seen that smelt damp , the bed was terribly uncomfortable, the shower was filthy with mouldy silicone , I didn’t dare let my bare feet touch the floor after the shower which only had one setting - boiling hot . Believe it or not these aren’t the issues that are causing me to make this review . The night was a really bad experience the noises in the room were unbearable ( noisy water pipes , loud vibrating coming from wall and mechanical sounds all night ) . To then report this to the on duty manager in the morning to be told there’s a night porter on we never saw anybody at the station and because we didn’t report it to them there would be no refund , all I can say is avoid 👍

If you like chronically bad service, raw cauliflower (I’d never dare call it cauliflower cheese even if it had been cooked) and the worst roast potato I’ve ever been presented with then this is the place to visit. Never again.

We come here quite often and the drinks and food are always amazing. We booked a table this time, rather than just turn up and the service was fantastic. I had the cheese and onion pie which was one of the best I have ever had. My husband had fish and chips and it was a very generous portion and he really enjoyed it. The Gin selection never disappoints either, and my husband loves the real ale selection they have. We were only intending to stay for the meal but we decided to stay until we were ready to go to the arena. Great pub, great food, great service. Keep doing what you are doing.

Lovely hotel, really impressive. Amazing location in a fab area of the city with genuinely impressive rooms that have been really well decorated and a nice bar downstairs. Would definitely come back.

The lobby exuded an inviting atmosphere, perfect for lounging and catching up with friends or simply enjoying a good book.

Visited for a meal, I can highly recommend the Hydes steak and ale pie. Full of beautiful tender steak.

Very cozy pub, extremely friendly service. Rooms very attractive, beds excellent. Always my pleasure.

Reviewing the pub, not the hotel as I have not stayed. Great Sunday roast and good vibes from this traditional pub. Nice open layout with lots of light and a decent amount of seating. More upstairs but we did not venture up.

For me it's the best pub in the northern quarter. Great beer at a reasonable price 👌

Great pub, good atmosphere and friendly staff. Weel worth a pint or four.

A great pub, will definitely be back!

Door was shut with no sign saying to use next door. Service was slow and not very friendly. Breakfast was OK but not worth the price. No parking. But pub was well located.

Sunday roast fabulous 👌 and the manchester egg starter is a must try, staff great and professional

Just bought a pint of pale ale for £3.75. In the Northern Quarter. In Manchester. In 2024. 5 STARS!

Lovely place and very good service always

Went in at around 2pm on Tues 26th march ordered a drink and the bartender said I'll bring them over ,he was Harry he served us at our table very pleasant had great service and found the re vamp very tasteful nice atmosphere

Very disappointed. Ordered the vegan option. Apart from the sausages there wasn't one thing on the menu which actually appeared on the plate as everything had been substituted or just left off and not one word to offer something else. Good thing I ordered a bowl of chips or I would've been starving! The other half and a philly steak sandwich and also didn't think it was worth the money!

A fabulous room and lovely friendly pub in a great location, I will definitely be returning 👍

Great pub with friendly bar staff

Fantastic Sunday Lunch - Try the sharing platter, you won't regret it. Reasonable prices for Manchester! Hidden gem Please note we have not scored the rooms as we didn't stay at he hotel

Had a lovely time food wonderful refurbished beautifully

I was having a beer with my friends. Nice atmosphere and great service

Came to the hotel earlier to see if our room was ready on the off chance or alternatively leave our bags, the guy at reception didn’t really offer he just said “check in isn’t til 2pm” like we were stupid. I replied with I know but could we leave our bags? He seemed annoyed at us tbh. Room was decent, shame I didn’t check my messages and see that the restaurant was being renovated but that wasn’t a major deal. The room was a disabled room, which usually isn’t a problem but the bathroom was a major let down, wash room floor that needs cleaning, the shower was grimy, I had a very quick shower but it was off putting, faulty toilet handle and very strange smell, we should of asked to move rooms but we were so tired. Also no shelf’s in the bathroom? No where to put our toiletries. Windows not opening didn’t help the smell and I don’t think the air-con was even on. Bed was comfy at least. I paid for this as a treat to my mother but honestly for £142 I feel ripped off? The room was worth £40 max. Next time I’ll pay a well know hotel chain, at least I’ll get my moneys worth.

I visited this establishment for a Sunday roast and was thoroughly impressed. Opting for the mixed platter for two, I found it to be the finest example of such a meal in Manchester. For aficionados of Sunday roasts and a meat-centric dining experience, I highly recommend this venue. It unequivocally deserves a five-star rating.

Only had drinks this time. But we've eaten here on several occasions. Good standard of pub food. Great selection of beers and a historical feel. Staff are friendly. And you can take your dog. An update on decor is on the way as well.

Loads of seats and good for group drinks

My sports club booked their Christmas meal here, and I chose three courses: Pressed Ham and Chicken Terrine…low quality- as if it had come from a tin- served with a sad little pile of coleslaw. Roast Turkey…again, not to a restaurant standard. It was as if an inexperienced friend cooked it at home. The whole dish lacked flavour. Chocolate Fondant (with cherry sauce)…just fine. I’ve enjoyed shop-bought pot desserts such as Gü more. The experience dissuaded me from going to eat there again.

This place is residential, but we just use the Pub part downstairs. It's not flashy but it's a comfortable place to spend an hour or so and has a really nice atmosphere. It isn't my favourite brewery, but some of the bitters are decent and they do a good range of guest beers as well. It is reasonably priced for the city centre as well and the service, fast and friendly.

It’s very rare I feel the need to write a bad review and was looking forward to trying this place However the food was really mediocre and what was described as cheese pie was not that. Filled with what could be described as tasteless wall paper paste. I could live with mediocre food if the service had been ok. I could only feel a member of staff had a bad day. I had the cheese pie as a vegetarian as the server could not describe what the carrot wellington (roast option was) The main orders were mixed up and there was a lot of eye rolling. The dessert menus were brought but no one came back for orders so half the party had to leave. The dessert order was also wrong and the person serving was very angry and flounced in the back. Desserts to be fair were better than the mains. I was left with a bad atmosphere and feeling like staff just did not want us there A shame as the pub was lovely

I want to start this review by saying I usually really like this place and have been many times and enjoyed it, but today that was definitely not the case. We were a party of 13, booked in for a team Christmas lunch at 12pm. As per the Abel's request we pre-ordered and arrived on time to be shown to our table. After waiting several minutes it became apparent no one was going to come and take a drinks order so I went to the bar and ordered and severed the drinks. We then sat and waited patiently for our starters, which arrived shortly after 1pm (apart from 2 which arrived about five minutes later when they realised they were missing). Starters eaten, plates were cleared, but again somewhat of a wait with the mains arriving at around 1.40pm. Having finished my meal and as I wasn't having a desert I went to the bar and settled the bill and returned to work, leaving my team to enjoy the rest of their meals. They eventually got back to the office around 2.40pm Overall the food was at best average and the service non-existent, and maybe we are at fault for not saying that we needed to have had our meal within 2 hours. However, not once either when serving our food or when I settled the bill did anyone either ask how the meal was or apologise for the slow service, the lasting impression was they simply didn't care.

Stayed for 2 nights in what was described as a king room but more like a standard room - location of the hotel is ok but the area is not, graffiti all over the walls on the adjacent properties and junkies up lane ways which i found un safe. Entered the property through the bar entrance door and then went to the hall way where the reception desk was - the hall and common areas of the property are very grubby - walls badly marked and the carpets in need of cleaning badly. The room as described was of average size for a king room- the bathroom had toiletries re shower gel in a pump bottle that did not work , the water in the shower which is over a bath was only luke warm for my entire stay - there were 3 adults staying in the room but only 2 large bath towels available, The bed i have to say was the worst i have ever slept in - so hard i might as well of slept on the floor - woke up each morning with a bad back ache. The bar area is of a good size- draught drink was very select and poor quality and over priced - 5.55 pounds for a pint of Cruzampo larger , Overall i would not recommend the hotel - 160 pounds a night was way over priced - 80 pounds would have been enough for the poor quality room and no hot water and a poor quality bed. The only compliment i could give for this hotel would be to the photographer who took the photos for the website - as when you arrive it is so disappointing - i would recommend to stay elsewhere . The area looks very unsafe also.

What a fantastic place to stay. All I really need to say. The service was seamless from start to finish, the staff were friendly, the rooms were clean and had everything you need and with the recent weather the air con was very much welcomed. Very well priced especially for location. Definitely hoping to return in the future.

3 things we wanted were not on the menu. Person who served us had the worst attitude. I was surprised it was quiet on a Friday after work but maybe the above it why

I was thinking about my last journey, and it was in Manchester exactly 1 year ago, end of november 2019. DiscoveringAbel Heywood was a surprise. Good place and the staff at the bar (sorry, i don’t know their names) was very nice and friendly! one day i’ll come back in Manchester and it’s sure, also come back to you. Bye. Dave from italy

Couldn't fault the amazing menu. The seabass is especially good. Niamh is an asset to the place and couldn't do more to help. We will most definitely return.

Abel Heywood ha sido una constante para nosotros, lo tienen todo listo y es muy amigable con los perros, lo cual es una ventaja. Una vez que entras, es muy relajante, y no te darías cuenta de que estás en una pandemia global, hacen todo muy bien, todo se limpia con regularidad, todas las reglas se observan correctamente. Las bebidas llegaron rápidamente y no está en la cima como muchos lugares en Manchester, es muy frío y es justo lo que necesitas. Nuestro servidor Jake fue genial, fue genial y divertido y nos cuidó muy bien. Tuvimos un asado de domingo que fue realmente bueno y de gran valor. Bájate y deja el mundo atrás por unas horas

The quality of the food was great I had steak and fries with a few pints of lowry. The staff were very attentive and affable. Would recommend

Friendly and helpful staff, especially Jake. We often come for a Sunday roast and are never disappointed!

Great, friendly staff and comfortable surrounding for a few pints and we have the small plates which were really tasty and made a great lunch!

Reservamos una mesa para el sábado por la noche. Nos dirigieron arriba, pero no había nadie en el bar ni para decirnos qué mesa, así que esperamos bastante. . y finalmente tuve que volver a bajar para encontrar a alguien.El servicio fue deficiente. . Esperé años para que alguien tomara bebidas y pedidos de comida. . Definitivamente no hay suficiente personal. . Solo vi 3 de servicio en el piso de arriba. . Haciendo la barra limpiando y corriendo la comida.Preguntó la camarera. . . ¿Quieres tus entrantes antes que tus platos principales? ! ! ! ! ?Los entrantes eran buenos, aparte de los calamares que estaban fríos y empapados. . . La ensalada de pollo crujiente era buena y la sopa estaba deliciosa.Red eléctrica. . . Bien. . . Pastel de pescado. . . Spot the fish era el juego. . . solo se podían ver 4 langostinos grandes y cualquier pescado que contenía era como fibras en una papilla descuidada. . Sin embargo, las verduras estaban bien. . .La panza de cerdo estaba muy grasosa con poca carne. . . Decepcionante de nuevo. . . Risotto de lubina. . . No está mal, pero los filetes de lubina eran pequeños. . .Pastel de carne. . . bien, pero pedimos patatas fritas en lugar de puré. . . ¡Tenemos 9 fichas individuales! ! !Luego nos cobraron de más en la factura por 2 bebidas más de las que habíamos tenido. . No está bien. .La iluminación fue terrible. . Oscuro y lúgubre. . Tanto que tuvimos que usar la linterna de nuestro teléfono para leer el menú. . Que estaba en letra diminuta. . .La cerveza era buena, pero definitivamente no la recomendaría para comer. . . La gerencia debe analizar lo que se saca de la cocina y elevar el estándar. El personal necesita mejorar su juego significativamente en el servicio. . . . Tantos otros lugares para comer cerca que te están ganando sin duda. . . .¿Excepcionalmente decepcionante?

Lovely pub and boutique hotel good food good service from a very pleasant blonde lady and young man Elliott

Aproveché la oferta Eat Out to Help Out. Había reservado una mesa en línea, pero cuando llegué no comprobaron la lista de reservas. No fue un buen comienzo que no les importara que me hubiera tomado la molestia de reservar con anticipación y que hubieran pedido ser informados de cualquier cambio.La letra impresa en el menú era minúscula, pregunté si tenían una letra más grande, el camarero dijo "no". No sugirió que me conectara ni se ofreciera a decirme qué había en el menú. De todos modos, no tenía mi teléfono, pero, afortunadamente, había revisado el menú en mi computadora anteriormente y recordé algunos platos.Sin carta de vinos. El vino más barato era 18, caro para un pub. Pero debido a que tienen un hotel 'boutique' arriba, supongo que piensan que pueden salirse con la suya con precios 'boutique'.Los sarters de calamares y bocados de panceta de cerdo eran sabrosos, pero los calamares no estaban crujientes y eran masticables. Las cosas fueron cuesta abajo con los platos principales de pescado y patatas fritas. La masa estaba empapada, las patatas fritas blandas, los guisantes blandos estaban fríos y la salsa tártara sabía más a hummus.Decepcionante. Debería haberme quejado allí mismo, pero preferí irme y no regresar.

I’d visited the Abel Heywood once or twice before but never had the food and let me tell you, it’s the best cheese and onion pie, chips and gravy I’ve had. We came on Saturday afternoon and had a couple of drinks downstairs. The atmosphere is great and it’s a warm, cosy pub. We then went up stairs and managed to sit down straight away. The food was fantastic and worth every penny. If you fancy pie and chips in Manchester then this is the place !

Had a few drinks here and food on Saturday 25th before going to the Strictly Tour at MEN. The atmosphere was good, it was quite loud but nice to hear people chatting instead of looking at their phones! Food was also nice, fresh and hot. Only negative was it could do with a bit of a deep clean, dust on the ledges, that type of thing!

Tuvimos una fiesta de 10, así que pre ordene. No hay problema con esto, ya que creo que esta es la mejor manera de tratar con grupos. Originalmente estaba sentado abajo, lo que no queríamos, ya que estaba tan cerca de la puerta principal (proyecto) y los asientos de la mesa no se prestaban a un grupo. Se trasladó arriba pero se le advirtió que había una prueba más tarde No hay problema para ser sincero, ya que no era ruidoso y nos sentamos lejos de él. La comida fue servida Los entrantes eran geniales, agradables y calientes. Llegaron los platos principales y debo decir que definitivamente estaban tibios y que las papas habían estado dando vueltas por algún tiempo. Pero, en general, los buenos productos se usaron pero necesitaban estar más calientes. Pagué la cuenta y pregunté si podíamos poner la propina, la respuesta de nuestro camarero fue "si haces eso, literalmente recibo un par de libras". Así que nos sentimos obligados a dar una vuelta por dinero en efectivo.

Tucked away in the northern Quarter this is quite a regular place for us to visit. It serves food but we generally only go for drinks and the range is very good indeed.It has a very relaxed atmosphere and attracts a mature crowd. The pub itself is full of character and even has a small beer garden for use in the summer.For the city centre it isn’t an expensive place and we always enjoy our time there.

Visited in December with 27 colleagues for a meal. Obviously they were very busy however the staff were very friendly and well organised so everything ran smoothly. Everyone enjoyed their meals which is no mean feat with that many people. They even found a space for us downstairs after we;d finished so those who wanted to could have drinks in the bar in comfort. Will definitely go there again.

Reservé el lugar después de varias visitas geniales con amigos y mi fiesta de cumpleaños. ¿Qué puedo decir? El lugar no decepcionó arriba en el área privada. La reserva y la comunicación fueron fáciles, efectivas y útiles. Nos decidimos por el buffet de Navidad. La comida era excelente, especialmente el plato de salchichas. Las bebidas fluían libremente y el servicio realmente excepcional. No dudo en recomendar el Abel a amigos, familiares y empresas. Gracias por una gran fiesta de Navidad. Team Bury. . .

Mis padres y yo vinimos al emporio de comida de Jessie (arriba) un domingo para tomar el té. Llegamos y se habían quedado sin un par de artículos que es lo suficientemente justo para un domingo 4 pmish.Desafortunadamente, esperamos más de una hora para nuestros platos principales y cuando llegaron mi hamburguesa de pollo con suero de leche apenas tenía nada de la mayonesa de chipotle que se anunciaba y, como resultado, estaba súper seca, sin mencionar que la masa estaba ligeramente quemada. De hecho, tuve que pedir más mayonesa para ayudar con la sequedad y algo de barbacoa para darle un poco de sabor.La peor parte de la experiencia fue que mi madre ordenó el pollo espaciado que se suponía que debía venir con papas fritas, ensalada de repollo y una ensalada de papa de piel roja, pero en su lugar vino con ensalada de repollo y luego papas a la brasa. Le preguntamos al servidor y nos trajo las papas fritas faltantes, pero cuando le pregunté por las papas (ensalada), dijo que parece que mezclaron el orden con los lados del menú de abajo. Así que la comida de mi madre fue medio pollo y una carga de papas. . . Sin ensalada adecuada, sin verduras, y sin salsa o incluso salsa. Increíblemente seco y liso y no se veía bien en el plato, como el mar de color beige.Increíblemente decepcionado con esta experiencia a pesar de que nos dieron un 20% de descuento en la factura al final, pero aún así tuve que pedir que se enmendara aún más porque nos cobraron por las papas fritas de haloumi que se les acabaron en lugar de los cerdos Mantas que terminé recibiendo, que eran más baratas. No lo recomendaría

Ubicado en el corazón del barrio norte, este es uno de nuestros pubs favoritos de la ciudad. Atrae a una multitud madura y tiene un ambiente realmente relajado.Hacen una muy buena variedad de cervezas y los precios son bastante buenos para el centro de la ciudad. En el verano tiene una agradable área de descanso al aire libre y para los momentos más fríos, el pub en sí está muy bien.El personal es excelente y le permitirá probar diferentes cervezas para asegurarse de obtener una que le guste.

Bangers & mash very good. Staff really friendly. Good selection of beers & wine. Would visit again. .

Been a few times for drinks, never eaten. Went with a group from work, having to get special permission to have a dish from the downstairs menu upstairs (we were upstairs as there was no room downstairs, & it's all from the same kitchen!) didn't sit great but got what I wanted in the end. My bangers & mash dish was nice. Good service, quick at the bar as upstairs fairly quiet - overall decent & would have no problem returning.

Called in for a snack and a G&T; with the wife and 12 yr old son. Plenty of gin choice and served with paper straws which is a huge plus point..!! Food I ordered was a fish sandwich and some chunky chips, this was quite tasty but the bread was a bit soggy. Maybe use a more robust bread would be better. ? Just a thought. The place itself was very clean and welcoming and I would recommend if your in the area. Staff very pleasant and looked like they enjoyed working there... will call in again.

The place was really clean and tidy, and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was just what we needed in a central location and at a fair price. The bar served a wide variety of beers and spirits, and the breakfast was just what was needed before another day sightseeing round Manchester. For me I think a quality hotel in a cracking location, I would definitely go back.

Enjoyed our evening catching up with friends. A good choice of beers and gin and the food was good as well.

Enjoyed our 3 day stay. Reasonable size room with all facilities. Excellent breakfast until noon! Go Abel!

Am letzten Abend unserer Wales-Manchester-Reise gingen wir recht früh am Abend ins Abel Heywood zum Dinner. Was für eine (positive) Überraschung!

Éste lugar lo tiene todo ! Pub tradicional en cuero y madera, una gran selección de cervezas y licores, un personal amable y una comida fantástica. Reservamos para la noche de graduación y realmente me impresionó! Las habitaciones están muy bien decoradas con muchos detalles bonitos. Incluso tenía un jugador de registro en. El aire acondicionado era un extra fantástico ya que era una noche tan calurosa. Buena selección en el menú de desayuno incluido, que era excelente y nada era demasiado para el personal. Si alguna vez en Manchester es un punto de visita obligada.

We had two breakfast meals at this hotel restaurant. Both were well prepared and reflected fresh, local food. Other meals plus a full bar also available.

Avons mangé un hamburger d’une excellente qualité et à un prix correct. Pour un supplément de 2 livres avons choisi de remplacé les pommes frites traditionnelles par des pommes frites faites avec des patates douces. Un choix judicieux.

התארחנו פעמיים במלון בביקורנו בדרכנו לטיול בצפון אנגליה, היה פשוט מעולה, חדרים נקיים, מרווחים, מקלחת טובה עם זרם ומים חמים, יחס נעים ואדיב, מיקום מעולה, במרכז העיר והעינינים, הפאב מסעדה שלו מצוינים, לא צריך לצאת מהמלון לשתות בירה ולאכול משהו בקטנה, ארוחת בוקר מצויינת.

Lovely gin afternoon tea. The food was so tasty (and filling) and the gin tea pots were fruity and delicious. The only thing that let it down a bit for us, was the very long wait from getting the drinks until the food arrived.

I took my mum for afternoon tea here after finding a deal on itison as she likes 'savoury' afternoon tea.

Great place - loved the building, staff are lovely - the gin teapots very quirky - felt like Alice in Wonderland . Tasty food ,great value even without the voucher .Would go again for food and cocktails .

Fuimos al Abel Heywood y obtuvimos un cupón de itison para el té de la tarde con una tetera de ginebra. Gran valor para el dinero, incluso sin el cupón. Sin duda volveremos de nuevo ya que el servicio y la amabilidad del personal fue fantástico. No pudieron hacer lo suficiente para nosotros. Recomendaría reservar una mesa ya que se llena mucho. Recomendamos subir las escaleras ya que hay muchas mesas y es más silencioso, aunque sigue teniendo el mismo nivel de servicio.

Como ganamos el alojamiento en un sorteo de Navidad, no estábamos seguros de aceptar el lugar. Al llegar nos quedamos bastante satisfechos con el hotel. Almorzamos y tomamos una copa. La comida era de un alto nivel y el personal amable y eficiente. La habitación, aunque pequeña, era muy atractiva y la limpieza era de un alto nivel. Para una estancia de una noche fue perfecto para nuestras necesidades y la ubicación era muy buena.

I love victorian pubs and this is one of the nicest in the NQ. Friendly staff and nice surroundings. Didn't eat but the food looked good enough and reasonably priced

I went to this place with work colleagues for a Christmas meal - set 3-course menu including vegetarian options. It was one of the worst Christmas meals I've ever had, taking me back to the early days (for me) of being a vegetarian, when most pubs and restaurants were absolutely clueless.

Many bars on this area however this is one of the best lovely pub nice friendly staff good reasonably priced pub food def worth a visit 😄👍

Went for Festive Pies, which needed ordering in advance for some reason. Started with fab G&Ts;, then the pies and a superb Malbec. We sat in a booth and there was a very festive atmosphere and even a Xmas Quiz! Good service throughout.

This was just a quick catch up with friends but left a great impression with us visiting from Australia. Love the building lots of character, lots of choices to drink & a great menu even though we did not order food. Will definitely come back here for a full night next t8me we are here

I was only in Manchester for two nights and wandered in here after seeing they had a BLT on the menu (my favorite). Turns out the food is delicious and the bartenders - Lee and Chyna - are even better. Spent the evening chatting with Lee and a couple of other wonderful regular patrons (hi Lauren & Tim!), and it really made my trip to Manchester. So happy I stumbled upon the place and can highly recommend a visit and a chat with Lee.

We have just returned from a two night stay at this jewel in Manchesters Crown in a brilliant central location. We arrived on Friday night to be greeted by staff member Johnny. He was friendly helpful but most of all interested in us as people discussing our plans for the weekend. He gave us all the information we needed for our stay.

He estado aquí unas cuantas veces, la primera vez que vine fue muy buena, aunque el tipo que me sirvió usó sus dedos para poner fruta en mi G&T; y vertió todo mi tónico, ¡pero no es un gran problema!

Went to meet friends mid afternoon and was surprised at the wide food and beer choice. Took a bit of finding but not that far from the Arndale centre.

Came here for Sunday lunch on Derby day, the roast were okay but the Manchester Egg was incredible, you have to try it. Will definitely be coming back to try the normal menu as it looks amazing.

Nipped into the Abel Heywood for a quick bite to eat last Friday night. The place was busy, but we managed to get a table for three. Two of us ordered the steak & ale pie which came with chips, greens and gravy. At first glance, thought the pie was small, but the pastry was well cooked and full of meat. By the time I had finished the meal, I was satisfyingly full. Will definitely have this again.

petit brunch vers midi dans un pub typique ..avec pour moi hamburger copieux et bon. Par contre jus d'orange pas 100% pur jus !

Went here for lunch with my son and husband , delightful pub! We had 3 starter plates , a steak sandwich , chunky real chips and a mug of soup. All the food was outstanding-absolutely delicious! Fairly priced in comfortable surroundings

Stayed here, so had to sample the drinks and some snacks!

Abel Heywood is a very popular pub in the NQ, sometimes a bit too crowded, but in general service is really good & food/drinks are too. About two years ago I had a really negative experience (at breakfast), and never went back. However I thought it was time to go back to check if things improved, and they have! We are now back to the old good standards with an efficient (no delays!!!) friendly service and proper nice British dishes. It was 4 of us and we all agreed that Abel is back in the list of our favourite places in the NQ.

My partner asked me to write a review for him. He visited last Sunday 30 Sept, was waiting for friends to celebrate a Birthday night out (not his) found the Abel very friendly and vibrant, he felt it would be great for a pub crawl, out with friends or for a general social. Their staff are very helpful, warm and inviting. thanks HJ

Great dinner upstairs for 10 mid afternoon to celebrate my husband's 50th. Attentive service and high quality food. Great platters and tasty main courses were enjoyed by all, as were the wines and beers provided. My choice of houmous to start was very good and the seabass main was great. Dessert was filling, but not too rich. Great stuff!

This is becoming a regular when visiting Manchester. There is a good selection of beers and spirits at normal prices. It has a vibrant, casual environment with a traditional pub twist. The place attracts a nice mix of customers.

Una vez que encuentres este lugar, volverás porque es genial. Se habla un poco, pero vale la pena buscarlo ya que tienen algunas cervezas excelentes en precios decente de borrador.

Really delicious food in a very nice and friendly pub burgers are delicious friendly and accomodating bar staff would definitely revisit.

Me encanta este lugar. Hemos estado un par de veces para las bebidas, pero decidimos quedarnos una noche más. La habitación era genial, me encantó la decoración y azulejos en el baño, muy bien hecho.

Really good love this place Sort been so many times not done any reviews previously. Great bar and location northern quarter so many choices drinks etc Food is typical bar food choice but better by far than pub food you know what I mean

Went for Sunday breakfast as a treat. Both faultless, Abel’s Fry Up and the veggie (NQ) and endless cups of strong coffee with free refills. Sat at a high table with the sun streaming in the windows reading the papers. Fantastic old place with real character, brekky cooked to perfection – never easy to get black pudding right! Served with a smile.

Fantastic pub with boutique hotel. The food is fantastic at good prices. Great range of real ale too in comfortable surroundings.

I loved the non-meat pie I ordered and the burger my husband ordered was also very delicious. The service was prompt and the food was quality and filling. The eclectic atmosphere doesn’t hurt, either.
