Bridgewater in Salford

This is our favourite local pub for food and drink. The service is great and the staff are very friendly to all people whoever you are. This location is just opposite the historical Bridgewater Canal and a very short drive from the Barton aqueduct and Manchester -Liverpool railway line, the world's first passenger railway.

Friendly bar staff and good food and drink!

Really enjoy coming here after our long weekend dog walks. Food is always lovely, staff are always great and it’s really dog friendly

Friendly staff, good food, pet friendly.

Great location, friendly staff. What more could you ask for. Kiara was very helpful and even suggested a few great choices to try from the menu and they didn’t disappoint. Definitely worth a visit, they even have a Tuesday night quiz that finished the night off perfectly.

Fabulous pub in great location.

Always enjoyed my food in this place, but lately my "sizzling" comes cold all the time. So cold that cheese on top of it won't even melt. I'd prefer to wait 5 more minutes and have it hot. Please don't make me find another pub for my lunches.

Another great visit to our favourite Flaming Grill. Danielle and the team are great hosts and always remember us even down to the extra portion of butter for the mash spuds!! We had rib-eye sizzlers and the cut of meat was superb, I've paid a lot more for much worse! Absolute value for money and always fun to go the Bridgewater. See you soon!!

A family birthday celebration with adults and children. Very welcoming and excellent service. Great atmosphere and staff were fantastic.

I like it here. Very friendly staff, good food, good atmosphere. The quiz night on Tuesday is excellent. One point, which prevents 5 stars which I would like to have given. The “Venus flytrap” toilets in the gents have totally inadequate room to get in and out.

Lovely service served by Kiara always good food n drinks at reasonable price

A friendly service by the barman, a little close to the main road for the beer garden, but a beautiful building with lots of original features. All in all, it's really nice establishment

Don't they know what a pint is?, I'm paying a lot of money 💰 for a pint give me what I've paid for not a short measure. shouldn't have to ask every time

Decent pub, food and service all ok. There are much better pubs closer by, but still a pub I visits when cycling on the canal.

I have eaten here 3 times in the last month. Every time I have had a warm welcome and very efficient service. The food has always been delicious and we have never had to wait long. Mark is so friendly and very funny, he makes me laugh every time and nothing is ever too much trouble, what a great guy. Aaron served us very promptly at the bar and was very friendly he also brought our delicious desserts over very quickly. I highly recommend you try this pub you won’t be disappointed. 😊

Went to the bridgewater tonight. Not been for a long time. There were four of us all the meals were perfectly cooked. The steaks were amazing perfectly cooked to the way we asked. Will definitely recommend and definitely going back. Well done to the chef

Great pub Danielle and team are amazing x

Very good and quick service. Food was delicious. Thank you to the servers Danielle and Maddie.

Great food, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Served by Mark who was very friendly and welcoming. Me and my girlfriend will definitely be coming back.

Had a get together lunch with my friends. Enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Great offers on the menu too. The staff are helpful and pleasant. Will revisit again! A good number of parking spaces - guests and diners must register their car reg for free parking. I can imagine the pub will be very popular in the evenings and weekends. Glad we had the lunch on a Thursday as we could actually talk and have a proper conversation!

Local gem. We love coming over here for a treat meal. Food is always very tasty, freshly prepared and piping hot. Staff friendly and polite.

Nice enough food and the staff are friendly. The parking validation is a bit of a pain. I received a hefty fine even though I was a patron which has put me off. Yes, I saw the signs. I have frequently been here and used the carpark and always ensure I validate my parking, however I still received the fine. I have paid it before the price escalated, EuroCarParks closed the case disallowing me to contest afterwards. I now don't have the PCN number and I'm always overly cautious here now, just in case. It's possible the machine had a fault and did not validate when entered. Bit of a nuisance for the customer.

Mark is always polite and most helpful

Decided we’d try the pub, no clear signage about parking and staff didn’t mention anything about needing to pay, got a £100 fine after spending lots in the pub. Won’t be going back as I’ve never been charged to park in a pub car park before

the horses fave pub, always a warm welcome!

Sunday went in for 3pm run out of Sundays lunch’s this happens a lot. Then wanted to order a coffee NO milk. What’s all that about. With the amount of staff on and hardly no customers I am sure one of the staff could have nip to shop or even asked. Restaurant next door.

Really good food good value for money Staff really pleasant

had a nice meal then got £100 fine for parking in the carpark ,never going again .

The food is nice, drinks are overpriced, the staff are extremely rude wouldn’t recommend.

Great pub, good food, great for sports on TV.

Can't fault staff are always friendly and welcoming service always with a smile and food top notch as always

We had my husband's 50th Birthday here and it was fabulous. There was 20 of us and it didn't seem to cause any problems. Great food and brilliant staff.

Stopped a few times on the way back to Monton from Formby. The food is excellent quality and very good value. The bar has a good selection of beer and wines and the coffee after the meal was also good.

Good traditional food menu, plenty of variety. Friendly staff and fair prices.

Always love eating in the Bridgewater but today I felt it was all a bit rushed like our food was essentially rushed onto the table.

Best roast beef ever! Came down for father's day, first time I've ever been. They were very accommodating adding 2 extra seats to our booking at short notice, considering it's a busy Sunday. Thank you for that. (My sisters fault, she forgot to invite me, and our dad, I'll let you use your own judgement on that 😳🤦‍♂️) The service was brilliant. Prices, very reasonable and affordable, and honestly, the best roast beef rib, I have ever tried. (I chose to have it grilled for a few minutes to crisp it up, really appreciated the extra effort and mess for the chef to do that for me too) I also couldn't resist the mushroom garlic and cheese option for the roast. (Yes I ordered 2 dinners, yes I ate them both, yes I ate the biscoff cheesecake too, yes you are cruel for judging me) Anyway, we'll 100% be returning. Can't wait to bring our boy Frank for him to try the doggie menu 🤣 Thank you very much!

Brilliant canal, very straight considering... It's been dyed orange by the nearby marmalade factory. It's transported citrus from Liverpool to Monton for over a thousand years, to boost the famous local marmalade industry, but the off-spill and juice seepage has taken its toll. When it freezes in winter, locals mix chunks of it with home-made hooch brewed from the bottled innards of Eccles cakes. It's like a vodka orange, but illegal. These Salfordians!! 😂

Absolutely fantastic, great service, great quality, great value, great time!

I went recently for lunch .not impressed with the food ..but the biggest bug bear was being a driver was £3.50 for a can of vimto . But easy parking as long as you put in you registration number .

Alright. Typical chain pub food.

No flavour in any of the food, really disappointed. Won't be going back

I really enjoyed the chicken burger meal. Also my uncle really liked his mixed grill which was a very generous portion. Didn't have desserts.

Lovely food and relaxed atmosphere. Served by friendly staff as always. Mark and Cody went above and beyond yo make us comfortable a d ensure we had everything we needed. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming everytime we visit

Not been here for a while and it was all change. We went for a family event and they had the buy on get one free on the burgers which was a great deal. The food was good Overall. The beef burgers were well cooked and moist but the chicken burgers were overcooked and dry. The service was slow but there was around twenty of us including kids so it was to be expected. They have a new menu which looks really good. We will be returning but not ordering the chicken burger. 😁

Just had a amazing sunday roast food was lovely staff were lovely and the atmosphere was so chilled will definitely be returning and try more off the menu thanks

Great service, great knowledge of what was on the new menu for me and my friend (veggie). Also loving the little cards they put down that tempted us into desserts 👀 maybe I shouldn’t love that too much 🤣

Went in to watch the football. Great atmosphere. Good area right opposite the canal and there’s benches out the front too which is going to be ideal for after work drinks this summer. Nice options of gins too!

Brilliant place service is the best, the staff are friendly your food is served to you at the same time which is nice to all eat together, they move the plates after you have finished your meal quickly and check everything is ok and its not badly priced and the food choice is good and tasty.

Amazing new menu! Regular visitor at the Bridgewater and the new menu is the best they have had in a long time. Would 100% recommend.

Good beer and ok food. A busy pub for families but if you’re keen to come out for a quiet drink or quiet bite to eat with your partner this likely isn’t the place for you. Just about every occasion we come to The Bridgewater it turns in to a ‘quick one’ due to the amount of children just running around the Pub screaming and playing games whilst staff just seem blind and deaf to it? Appreciate it’s not the Staffs responsibility and it’s the Parents but this clearly needs a solution on how this could be managed as it’s really out of hand. If you want to be known as more of a feed your family cheap and let the kids do whatever then fine, I suppose you’re busy with family’s but that’s all you ever will be I imagine. Really not relaxing for those that want to come out for a chill so would recommend next door or the other pub in the village where they have things a lot more under control.

Not to impressed first thing I noticed was the menu s could do with a wipe over they where dirty then i was told the vouchers I was given has a Christmas gift where not accepted when it clearly says on website they accept pub vouchers the lasagne was stodgy and part of it was burnt as if been in a microwave to long I thought the steak my daughter had was ok when she gave me some to sample but she thought it wasn't very good

Very good rump stake and very nice presented. When weather allows it, a terrace is available. Several beer types were not yet available.

Been here a few times of the years and used to frequent this pub twenty years ago. Much has changed over the time but I can only give my reviews based on the last few times we’ve been in. I’ll start with the positives: Decent priced beer, food is cheap and OK, staff are all very polite and friendly. So the big negative, unruly children! Now, I guess the manager is going to say that it is a parent’s job to ensure that their own children behave responsibly and to some extent that is 100% correct. However, management need to do something about the ridiculous behaviour of kids in the pub running wild. As I type there is a young girl, probably less than 12 years old, roller skating up and down in front of the bar. Look to the left and a group of 4 kids, all under 10 years old, run wild and play hide and seek under customers tables… whilst the parents of the kids sit idly by doing nothing. I am a father of 4 myself, so I know what I’m talking about. I know kids will be kids but there has to be a limit. Last week, there was a match between Liverpool & United was showing on the TV. The atmosphere in the pub was cool and everyone enjoyed the day… However, kids legging it up and down, screeching and shouting is not on! I never allowed my kids to run berserk in pubs chasing each other, rollerskating and playing hide and seek under tables where customers are sat, and whilst I know it’s not my pub I would say that most people wouldn’t agree with little kids sprinting up and down the pub etc. All it takes is for a member of management to say to the parents that children are not allowed around the bar area. Other than the shameless style parents this isn’t a bad pub.

Great food, great staff and great atmosphere. I look forward to my return visit. Good options for veggies too 😁

Big fan of this place. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. One of the best places to go in Worsley.

My favourite pub! Such good location, food and atmosphere, can’t recommend highly enough

Lovely pub, fairly priced, friendly staff. Great for catch ups and walks around Worsley. Also a decent sized car park which is helpful.

Lovely experience here, all the staff were very friendly, food was amazing and just a really great vibe! Will deffo be returning!

A fab pub! A lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, and an impressive selection of drinks 😉. For food we had the Nachos and shared a Chick 'n' Mix Platter, both were delicious and great value for money! can't recommend enough and can't wait to go back! 🙌

Loads of food and drink to chose from. Really tasty steaks.

Very basic pub grub, chips not cooked and please avoid the pie. I mentioned that the chips were not cooked and received a non apology from a grumpy face. Not my favourite pub.

Delightful English pub in the very heart of Worsley Village - a key location during the birth of the Industrial Revolution The heritage environment offers an endearing atmosphere with delicious food, served by an amiable and happy team. The real ales are glorious ! An exceptional welcome from a congenial team conveying a most pleasurable experience I have been visiting for half a century - need I say any more !

£8.90 for a stale tuna sandwich which was white £2, at best.

Great pub, have been coming for years , very friendly staff and nice pub food. Always has live sports , football / rugby etc

Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was very poor. Had chicken piri piri flatbread and fries. Was terrible and gave us 10 fries. I don't usually write reviews but never had such bad food.

Service was ok. Staff friendly. Food wasn’t of a great standard. Fries were cold , burger smothered in too much sauce, veg overcooked in the flatbread. Didn’t bother with dessert. The light fitting above our table was covered in what can only be described as thick dust, which really put us off too. Not a great experience

Order peri peri chicken flatbread and absolutely disgusting 🤢 the chicken was pink, grease all over and looked like dogs dinner won’t go back Food horrible

Beer is a little over priced. But the food is really nice and a good price. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Would go again.

Great service and lovely food. I’d definitely recommend the beef rib Sunday roast! Kind manager (at least I think he was the manager). And they brought out a free cake with a candle, singing happy birthday after noticing our balloons. A lovely couple of hours!

Great service and lovely food. I’d definately recommend the beef rib Sunday roast! We were here for a 60th Sunday lunch and without anyone asking the staff must have clocked this as they brought us a slice of fudge cake and ice cream with a candle in it whilst singing happy birthday. Attentive manager (at least I think he was the manager)

Quality food, beer and atmosphere. Very impressed with the pub. Lots of room and tables available. Brought the family and all of us enjoyed the experience

Great place to eat and drink, very roomy, big tvs for sport

An ideal place to meet up with friends/family and grab a bit of decent food and a drink at the same time.

Great place was only there for lunch so wouldent know about the night life there but was impressed very polite staff and food was good cooked fresh

Food is amazing, the staff are lovely. I don't even like mayo but the millionaires mayo is something else. Really good value for money.

As soon as we entered the pub the team greeted us with a smile (rare to see nowadays) and showed us the free parking, the deals on the menu are amazing and the barmaids didn't hesitate to find the best prices for us, 3 shots for £5 it's fair to say we have a headache now lol, food was amazing and pub has a lovely layout and cozy feel to it, would recommend to anyone who wants a cozy tea and a bevvy. Spot on x

Just love this pub! Always a warm welcome from Danielle and her team. Super service and my lovely spaniel loves it too!

Absolutely terrible. Supported this place through thick and thin over 30 years but never going again. Customer service shocking. Locals not allowed in in Xmas day

7 of us turned up for food without booking and we were very well looked after by staff, they cleaned tables ready to accommodate us all to be sat together and made sure the cutlery and sauces boxes were stocked up. The food was lovely, we all had something different but it all arrived at the same time! My daughter had the Xmas burger from the specials board and she asked when we would be coming back as she loved it that much. Very reasonably priced and a large selection of drinks, we will be back against soon.

Audio visuals need to be improved to watch football

We were a party of eight and ordered different selections from the menu. The medium cooked Rump Steak was absolutely excellent. All other dishes which we ordered were also excellent. Staff serving were also very good. Price was also very good

A very good menu. Every item ordered was good. The Jamaican curry was exceptionally flavourful.

Great staff Great food and great value

Nice pub with a good atmosphere. Standard pub grub that you get with most chains these days. Good place to watch the sport with a few TVs. Great staff, very friendly and good service. Kid and dog friendly too which is nice.

Absolutely spot on … just enjoyed a lovely family meal out at the Bridgewater 22 of us…. had the footy on for all to enjoy … we were well looked after from start to finish the food all came spot on for every one of us piping hot .. and all cooked to perfection … great selection of beers and just look at my xl mixed grill absolutely perfect … thank you to all the staff and particularly the chefs for our gorgeous meal … go try the Bridgewater you won’t be disappointed

Lovely staff and very pleasant,

Great family & dog friendly pub, nice food with a great choice or pop in for a drink after a walk 🫶🏼

What a superb evening we had at the Bridgwater. We had a large party of friends and family for a get together and Danielle and her team looked after us so very well. We had a fantastic evening with delicious food served hot and tasty. Thanks for making us feel so welcome! All of the party had a super evening. Great atmosphere. Warm welcome. Cared for. Great team. Thank you.

Very historic area it is where the first canal was built

Top dollar for beer, must be the post code..

We visit here occasionally, for a pub meal. Sadly today, my meal was not up to standard, and I asked to return it. (It was a busy Sunday, and sometimes these things happen) I have to give praise for the way this was handled. The customer service was EXCELLENT. I was offered an alternative meal FOC, which I politely declined. The refund was processed quickly, and without complaint. They even refunded our drinks, which we didn't ask for. Will we visit again? Yes, definitely.

A first time visit on a quiet Tuesday for dinner. The beef and ale pie was top notch with lovely gravy and super pastry ! The gammon was very good though the steamed onions underneath - we guessed that the sizzle plate was expected to grill them but it doesn't - added nothing. The prices were very reasonable as were the drinks. The bar staffer was very efficient and friendly. Would recommend .

Nice location, nice staff, lots of little corners depending on your mood. They do tend to have the football on everywhere when it is on, but there are a few spots with 'shelter' :D

Food was great, but celebratory birthday meal was totally spoilt 2 weeks later when a £100 parking ticket arrived for using the pub carpark!! Unaware, as signage for Euro Car Parks was not evidently visible. Staff never mentioned the issue of parking either, which would be helpful for anyone visiting for the first time. Even though the food was great, I will not visit again on principle of paying for parking as a patron on the pub.

Excellent meal at lunchtime, good and pleasant service and good value for money. Very quiet on a Wednesday for early lunch

Nice pub to have a drink and relax in. We went in after we had visited a local pizza restaurant and it was very pleasant.

Had the best time here - thanks so much Kiara for such amazing service! Can’t wait to come back again soon :)

Stopped by on a spur of the moment idea for lunch. Took advantage of the weekday 2 meals offer and we were not disappointed. Excellent food, one of the best Steak & Ale pies I have had, also a very tasty lasagne. Very good value for money. Fantastic service, very pleasant staff and minimal waiting time for food. Highly recommended.

We happened to go in for My Birthday & well the United Match was on, The Food was Brilliant even my little boy loved his food too, Over the moon with the place to be honest was brilliant the last time we came for my Dad's Birthday.

Good range of drinks, great value food. Big pub, lots of tables inside and out.
