Carousel in Stockport

Had a meal with the missus, food was awesome, was served by Stephen, he was really helpful, helped my avoid allergies with a tablet, couldn't recommend enough, definitely be coming back!

Had a great time, came for a meal with friends and we had a blast! The food was great and the drinks were cheap, Stephen served us and was an absolute laugh! Will definitely be back!

Brought my daughter and grandchild, my grandchild has special needs and wasn’t too happy about being out the house. A huge thanks to Cat who helped with my grandchild so we could eat and then proceeded to keep him entertained and made our stressful situation a lot calmer, she provided stickers, colouring in and toys. It was really refreshing to her take the time with us.

Banging Sunday roast, everything was hot and the extra gravy was free.

Landlady (cat) was extremely rude. Even went on to slag one of the people I was with off to me. Then proceeded to make this an issue when returned at a later date thinking maybe she had a bad day and gave her the benefit of the doubt. Not professional in the slightest. The rest of the bar staff and kitchen staff are lovely and so helpful and make the place a welcoming and calm environment making you feel at ease.

Popped in for late lunch. Staff and service excellent. Toilets and baby changes need to be updated as they are unsafe.

Nice average food 👌, as managed they tend to throw you out as soon as possible at last orders. No snacks served behind bar crisps nuts ect .

There was a large party of us for a 60th. Some of my family can/were a little difficult but the barman (Paul I think he was called) was amazing. The food was great for the price and everyone left happy!

Came last night with the family for our annual get together. We always try to come here first cause the staff just go above and beyond. The food was hot and tasty and as usual the staff was on it and really friendly.

Was lovley food had to wait quite a bit but it was very busy

Brilliant and respectful staff with really great prices. Always feel welcome when arriving. One of the staff called paul is extra welcoming and very helpful.

Always a good time at the carousel nice food and friendly staff such a Paul, Tom, Lee and Jamie especially for the quiz

Come here every week. Lots of banter from the staff, especially Paul

Great food and service, served by Paul top marks 😊

Staff at the Carousel are always helpful and friendly, especially Paul. 😊 Very good service

Really good pub. Food was great and the staff are very friendly! Paul who served us was exceptionally polite and friendly and made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend!!

Had a lovely meal food was lovely, service was good... compliments to Stephen!!!! Menu ensures there is something for everyone.

I was on a jaunt in the fair lands of Reddish and came over all peckish. Stomach growling, I lurched into action to acquire some beige comestibles and fermented barley to satiate me and further develop my risk of heart attack. As I meandered through the dreary streets, there appeared on the horizon a shining beacon of boozy triumph. Glistening on the afternoon breeze, stood proudly the word 'Carousel'. I required no further invite and bounded towards the Grail-like structure with glee. I stepped across the threshold and was instantly greeted by a the glorious aroma of ale and chip fat. With reckless abandon I set about finding a throne to purch my fat arse. A cheeky fellow, who had a faint resemblance to a hobbit, appeared as if summoned by gods of ale and diabetes to furnish me with the best damn menu I've ever grasped. He stood twirling his elaborate beard and discussing the specials, of course everything within the establishment was special, so imagine my surprise when he explained there was a separate section dedicated to items of even higher calibre. He introduced himself as Stephen, the kitchen manager, but I knew then this was a man of quality. I ordered a pint of Guinness, like any self respecting man first thing on a Sunday afternoon. I stood in awe of his command of beer pouring timings, amazed that he utilized his ornate pocket watch to perfectly sequence the intricate task. He slipped the pocket watch back into his waistcoat and slid the pint glass towards me (apparently I'm now sitting at the bar) without spilling a drop. 'this must be what meeting God is like' I mused. *He only did this if he is meant to be pouring beer. If not, then he didn't do it, but was still solely responsible for my outstanding experience.* Stephen, the Kitchen Manager, who I met on Sunday 27th October 2024 (when he was definitely on shift) is by far and away the best staff member in Greene king, who works in the Stockport area, mainly at the carousel, on that given Sunday, I have ever encountered. Bravo sir, take a bow.

The food was great but to be greeted by pretty much naked women supposedly in Halloween fancy dress was appalling & their manor and behaviour. MANY people complained but the staff seemed to scared to say anything or remove them. I will not be coming here again around Halloween. Not what I want to see nor my kids to see non of us knew where to look made us very uncomfortable

Came in with my family had the bbq meat platter it was delicious, staff very accommodating

Food was lovely and staff was very welcoming definitely be back

Great evening atmosphere, drinks were nice and the food was delicious, compliments to Holly who served us. Will definitely be coming back!

Visited with my friends, Ty was fantastic and really helpful by showing us how to work the app and do us table service, will defo visit again.

Great night last night for the quiz, good offers on food as well. Top service from Paul

Always a pleasure coming to the family oriented local. Staff like Lee, and Paul couldn't be more friendly. Much Love ❤️

Food was amazing, Stephen was very helpful, great atmosphere would definitely return.

Excellent pub, came in for food and drinks, Stephen and Cat were brilliant, very helpful and even showed us how to go on the WiFi. Thanks for being so welcoming.

Fantastic pub, great food, the bar staff were very friendly particularly Tom was extremely helpful and the service was brilliant

Really nice food, Stephen was great and really helpful when we asked our questions.

Great food and good value , recommend .

Good night, excellent local pub

Booked a table for our son’s birthday, was surprised to arrive and a section of the table was set out for kids with colouring and some little toys, the extra consideration was truly thoughtful. The food was really nice and very quick and all the staff we had the pleasure to meet was really nice.

Had to write another proper review cos I've been blown away with the attention they gave my son 😊😊 they built him his own den so he wasn't running round as it got busy. So made up for this 🙌🏻 thsnk you carousel for being so understanding ❤️❤️

Great food and service, it’s was rammed and the staff was smiling and smashed through it, hats off to them.

Came in the afternoon for a meeting, quiet little booth in the corner was ideal for what we needed and the food offers are that good it lured us in to eat.

Good food, good choice of real ales, lagers and wines. Sunday roast plus Christmas menu. Hard working, welcoming staff

Fantastic service and food was lovely. Lee was very friendly and helpful.

Came to the carousel for my brothers 16th and Lee the server was excellent. Food was nice too.

My friend and I had Rob eye steak and was cooked to perfection and I'm very fussy with steak.

Great service great food great pub enough said

My friend and I booked a lunch here so we could have a little catch up. We received a warm welcome from the bar man (sorry I never caught your name!) whom I have been served by during quiz nights here and he is friendly and efficient. My friend and I then chose a table outside in the sun. Although on a main road, the Carousel is set back far enough for the outside seating to be peaceful and private. There is a covered area to protect you from the elements too. We had tacos with halloumi and these were a delicious light lunch. Really good service and all in all a great experience. Thank you.

The chef Steve cooked me and my family a meal it was very nice. We all felt very welcomed. This was my first time going here and I will definitely be going again.

Staff were friendly and really attentive, service was quick as always. We were served by Lee, thank you :)

Amazing service from Lee and little Tom, great guys and always out to do the extra mile for the customer! Great place and will be here regularly :)

Served by Lee, the service was very good and staff were very nice and helpful, food came out quick as always, would recommend :)

Just popped in for lunch, there was a family quiz on, free to enter, and great fun and entertaining, the host was great fun. Served by Lee who was great and very polite and attentive. Food was great value and we all all loved it.

From our warm welcoming arrival, greeted by Jamie a great ambassador for the Carousel & Green Finch, it was a lovely Sunday lunch experience. Good recommendations on the dishes available and the decision to get the rib of beef was an amazingly good decision. Perfectly cooked, it fell off the bone so beautifully. Reasonably priced, it was extra sweet to know with Jamie’s help, I could use the NHS Blue Card discount. Thanks Jamie & team for a lovely experience.

Came for bonkers bingo and what an experience it was, the host and Dj was friendly and funny, they treated everyone like family. Can’t wait for the next one!

Can’t fault cat she goes the extra mile every time. It’s a decent pint as well and the place always smart.

Lovely host, lovely food and friendly atmosphere!

It's ok but once you've got your food it's almost impossible to get another drink as it takes far too long.

Went to the carousel for a meal with family and friends, Paul served us and he was really polite and efficient.

Paul, cat, Lee tom and Tom and all the other staff are brilliant 👏, always feel welcome and having a laugh, they do such a great job

Love this pub why? Cos it's DOG friendly travel from middleton worth the drive Thanks to Kath & staff who were ever so loving to my Martha ( staffie ) provided with water and treats ........ steak n ale pie is delicious by the way... so gets my thumbs up ... 5*

Hi I am a support worker and over the last few months I come to Carousel with our members. The staff here have been amazing and accommodate with any requests we may have. The food is also amazing and very good value for the money. Our members love coming here and would highly recommend. Thanks to all the staff for your support 😃

Interesting the blond Manager keeps popping up, she is rude, arrogant and miserable, she really throws her weight around snapping at customers and thinks shes the 'big I am', :) she works in a pub.. this clearly wasn't a good career choice for her and she takes it out on customers and she speaks down to the staff as I heard them talking about her, love..... if you don't like your job move- your not a tree. You have a bad attitude and most of the reviews are about your bad manners!!

Had an amazing time! Food was absolutely amazing! Me and my family really enjoyed it, My son is quite difficult sometimes but the server Cat cheered him right up and made a real effort in her work! She was an absolute star with us , aswell as serving our food perfectly and in quick time as being a delightful person to talk to! 100% will be coming here again!

Had a roast dinner and it was horrid! Soft roasters.soggy veg, frozen mash that was like cement, pigs in blankets were like the xmas leftovers.would never go there again! Rank!

Had a great time at the Carousel, cane in with my family for food one evening and the service we were given by Lee was impeccable. He really took the time to make sure we enjoyed our experience.

This place has hit rock bottom. It's been going down hill for a few years! We've been going in for nearly 10 years now, and this is the worst it's ever been. The last three menu's have been poor. I understand costings have gone up massively. So standard's and quality will suffer, but for a pub/restaurant to run out of garlic ciabatta (part of the mac and cheese option) early on a Friday evening is ridiculous (they haven't had it for weeks apparently) gone are the days of chefs just knocking up some garlic butter.... but that's chain pub legislation I suppose. No imagination or freedom nowadays, just robots. The staff are trying, they're just looked massively understaffed. You also need to start vetting people at the door too! Dog rough some of them!! Bring back swinging kebabs and bin lid challenges!

This is actually the worst place I've ever eaten out. The blonde manager was very rude to my friend for asking a simple question. The food was abysmal, the gammon was white! Batter on the chicken wasnt cooked properly , food was tasteless frozen chicken burger was extremely dey ect My friends left nearly their whole plates and ours went pretty untouched too. You don't expect much with these pub chains but it was actually shocking. We wouldn't go back . Theres plenty of parking and it was dead on a Saturday evening.

I come in fairly regularly and see the place as Home from Home. Staff are well trained and always friendly. Lee particularly is always hard working and friendly whether I have friends in or find myself in on my own

Best quiz around now my new local

Came in for the euro’s final the atmosphere was brilliant even though England lost, the service was excellent from Lee.

Food is delicious service was fast and efficient overall staff very friendly

Great service, friendly staff and a great atmosphere !

Disgusting food, I have never seen white gammon before, I suppose it was pink on the inside… I feel the reviews on google are extremely misleading. I was asked how I would like my steak for my mixed grill, unsure why they asked… as they didn’t give me what I asked for. I thought the blonde lady (Manager) was rude, like she wasn’t getting paid to serve me on the bar? The same Manager also refused to switch an item of the same price on a dish after being told by another member of staff I could, again extremely poor. My favourite - how dare I have the audacity to ask for a receipt… I believe the wording I heard was ‘really’… The only time I would go back to this place was if I was constipated, because I haven’t got off the toilet today.

Very happy with experience, came for a meal with the family, food was great and service from Jamie was excellent 👍🏻

Disappointed with how the staff handled the situation today, after them mistaking table numbers, amy (management) said she was charging my group for food we didn't order, we obviously refused to pay for thier mistake, she said we wouldn't be served if we didnt so we had to leave. Discussing service.

Love the place, been coming for years and it’s always a good night. Staff are always happy to help

The food was great, my server Lee was fantastic, it was very quick.

We called here on a Friday night for some food with the kids and grand parents The staff said up to ab hours wait for food which actually only rook 30 minutes When it came out it was excellent. The menu is great and proper good value for money. The staff and service was excellent and fed 7 people for less than £40. Very basic child entertainment High chairs available Definitely recommend and certainly going back

Great place for dinning out, nice staff expecially Jamie. The food is great value for money

Stopped in with a few friends for a Sunday lunch. The food was good and fairly priced. Decent sized portions. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. Can’t fault the place at all.

Weve been coming to the carousel for a number of years now but for the last few visits it’s been really disappointing.We’ve been to the carousel tonight (Fri 5th July) for something to eat..we ordered the barbecue sharing platter.after waiting nearly an hour our platter arrived.the corn was cold,the chips were dry and warm.the macaroni cheesewas cold.and chicken was dry but the ribs and beef were warm and lovely.we didn’t complain because we were hungry and didn’t want to wait any longer. Last week when we visited my wife ordered a turkey dinner and I ordered a mixed grill and once again we waited ages for our meals to arrive.and when they did my mixed grill was spot on really nice and tasty but unfortunately everything on my wife’s turkey dinner was dry so much so she sent it back e.land in exchange she was given a free glass of wine.personally I think they need more staff as there isn’t enough staff,although the staff that is there are really good and friendly. From Chris

Lee and Maria were very lovely and friendly Food was fast, hot and fresh and the place had a good vibe. Food was decently priced and filling though chocolate cake was a little dry.

Very pleasant eatery, not been here for years but food is just as good as I remember

Came in for some beers with the breadknife. Top gaff, great atmosphere and good selection of beers. Didn't eat cos we were tapped for time but the staff were superb. Big shout out to Paul too... great barman and consumate professional!

Very good service from Steve who cooked us a great meal 👍

The food was good and reasonably priced. Most of us had steak! The steaks were cooked exactly as we asked. Staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you all so much for a wonderful evening!

Great pub, really good food and always good service, Paul is very attentive and friendly

11/10 for Jamie, excellent service. Very personable. Couldn’t do more for us. Stunning like a young Burt Reynolds. Fabulous
