Carousel in Stockport

Visited bank holiday weekend, it was relatively quiet but still had a good atmosphere! Nice cosy pub. Lee who served us was great! Very welcoming and attentive. He made our drinks quickly and they were lovely! Food was top notch and arrived fast. Highly recommend 5*.

Went in on a bank Holiday weekend and was pleased to find a place and order food. Our server, Lee, was excellent; drinks arrived quickly and the food swiftly followed. Food was delicious, cannot fault it!

BBQ meat sharer and 2 free kids meals, cheaper than eating at home.

Gave a small mixed grill when ordered the xl... bad service

Came in with family loved the atmosphere ! Jamie and Lee were brilliant to make me and my wife feel welcome highly recommend

Replied to review bit had no intention to reply to the email sent over... very disspointing... if u click 1 star reviews amd have a read thru its very hit and miss if your have a nice experience or not.. ad definetly avoid... surley no one can be happy ordering a xl plate suppose to be double the size but receive the same size food just on a different plate be carful of that scam.. especially a week before it was twice the size.

Payed for the xl mixed grill was informed after the menu had changed... was served same size as the normal mixed grill ... had become a regular up untill this point... the pub responded with an email to the complaint but then didn't reply..

Decided to come try the new menu and let me just say it didn’t disappoint, the jerk chicken sizzler was beautiful, wife stuck to her usual hunters chicken but we couldn’t be more impressed.

I came here today with my family Fantastic service from lee and jamie the food was spot on

Love the staff in this pub Jamie is so friendly as well as all the other staff, food was hot and lovely we took our Bassett hound in, nothing was too much trouble

Great service from Jamie today. Very welcoming and friendly

Always good service and friendly staff! Jamie & Tom have been great

Came in today and was served by cat and Dan. Had the new kpop burger it was delicious.

Absolutely phenomenal 2 main meals for £12.49, I had the gammon, my partner had the lasagne Food was hot, perfectly cooked and a good size portion Extremely tasty Jamie, part of the staff, was extremely helpful, friendly and helped mafe us welcome, he went out of his way to ensure we received our food and in perfect order.. What can I say, we eat quite alot and the carousel is perfect

Visited there on April 8th Ordered food, lasagne and gammon, 2 for 12.49 Food was amazing, tasty, decent portion 🙂🙂 Massive thank you to staff Jamie, a really lovely and friendly guy, went out of his way to help and assist, awesome customer service...thank you ever so much

Service was appalling ordered steak flatbread when my food arrived it was a lamb flatbread I was told by the server that was what I ordered ! I don't eat lamb so why would I order lamb ???? Was then told that there was no steak so ordered the chicken. By this time everyone on my table had their food. Husband ordered the extra large mixed grill pineapple (which we were charged extra for and shouldn't have ) was missing as was the onion rings which were then brought out separately. Mixed grill was swimming in grease it was disgusting. I was not offered the a refund for the price difference in my meal. Asked to speak to the manager 3 times on the occasion I was told I had to email my complaint and it would be delt with still waiting.......... Very poor customer service from the manger looked very understaffed staff too busy chatting to each other and swapping between tills whilst taking the orders obviously no communication from the kitchen about availability of menu items one to avoid

Tried out the abba tribute they did, it was really good they made a little dance floor and we had a great afternoon.

Several items were not available on the menu and I ordered scampi it wasn't the best

Good swift service and the staff were very friendly. It was nice food and very good server Tommy who was very helpful I will definitely come back again.

I really enjoy the atmosphere especially Friday Night's when Karaoke is on.

Firstly they didn't have a diet redbull which was on the drinks menu so I had a diet Pepsi and my partner had a glass of Sauvignon blanc. My glass smelled like wet dog and his glass had lipstick on the rim. Food wise I ordered the rump steak, rare, and asked for salad instead of chips. He ordered Rib eye, medium rare. The food took a really long time to come and I can tell why. The steaks were both quite overdone. My steak was actually quite nice , but it came with chips when I'd asked for salad instead . My partner hated his steak. For a start it wasn't Rib eye. He has been a butcher for 9 years and knows his steak like the back of his hand and he is certain he was given shoulder steak , it was full of sinue , and not seasoned. He left 80% of his food as the chips were cold and everything was covered in a sort of onion sludge. The cutlery was dirty and seemed to have animal hairs on it. They must have had the slapdash crew in today as I've always enjoyed meals from Greenking pubs before. This time was quite disappointing. As a side note there was what appeared to be snot on the walls in the gents toilet

Cant fault cat and her team, nothing short of amazing and the food is amazing thanks to ste.

Great place great food great team 👍

Had such a great meal here with my family all food was cooked perfectly, The manageress was so helpful and polite, the food was amazing, not been in before but I’ll definitely be coming back. The deals during the week are fantastic

Pub was cold no heating food was lukewarm chicken was dry and cold..we were overcharged will not be 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 cooked our food and Cat served us and was an absolute laugh! Will definitely be back!

Cheap, quality food, good atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks

Took an hour for two burgers and wings to arrive

Myself and friend come for the weekly poker night, great bunch of lads and a cheeky but one get one free burger.

I havnt been here for a few years because of a bad experience but it's got so much better, the food is always gorgeous and the staff are lovley and always welcoming, the new kitchen manager stephen is lovley and answered all my questions about our allergies,we will definitely be back!

Started making this our go to friday night as they have karaoke and 2-4-1 cocktails.

Came in for food with my wife food was amazing Stephen and cat went above and beyond helped us pick our meals the gammon was to die for.

Good food and affordable I highly recommended

Stephen, the chef, cooked us all up 4 fantastic main meals. Fresh and tasty. Couldn't ask for any better. Will definitely be returning and highly recommend. Keep up the good work. 👍

Really nice food , friendly staff.

Another fantastic meal the kids loved it, Stephen was really helpful as usual, got our next meal booked on the way out!

Food in here is great, Ste is an excellent chef

Had a great family meal, Stephen served us and was so polite and helpful, I had the extra cheesy mac and cheese and my daughter had the steak and ale, I couldn't believe how cheap it was when we paid, great value for money!

Loved my experience within The Carousel and with the staff, everyone was extremely welcoming and helpful. Special thanks to Cat for being the most welcoming and friendly staff I’ve ever experienced, really made my stay at the pub feel special. Thank you!

Great day out, food was amazing will defo come back, I had the lasagna my mate had the steak and ale, was too hot to eat straight away!

We have been going the carousel for sometime and over the last few months we’ve been doing the Tuesday tribute bands. We have had great fun and really enjoyed the acts. Meal is included….. what’s not to like!!!

Great service and food and well looked after. Tom C was amazing great friendly service and a true gent and very helpful all evening.

Always perfect value for money!

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

Oh dear! A disastrous Christmas day lunch. Waited 2 and half hours. Only had starter. Manageress was understanding when we left, lack of staff. But we all(lots of people waited and gave up) should have been informed of this on arrival.

Good selection of food, good prices with plenty of deals , Tvs and pool table plenty of tables, free quiz Sunday afternoon. Staff are friendly an good towards are children offering colouring in etc

Friendly Staff and atmosphere, very accommodating at all times. We go for a regular bight out and are never disappointed!

Booked myself and the family in for Christmas Day as a treat. What a bargain it was. £51.99 for 4 courses, it was busy but that didn’t stop those working from giving us great service. The food all came out piping hot and the caramel salted dessert was to die for.

Food was very poor quality today. Spend over £50. Food arrived cold, not cooked to our preference. Coleslaw was shop brought you could tell the difference. Chef should be ashamed to send food out like that to paying customers. The waiting time to be served is slow due to lack of staff. Half the stuff on the meau wasn't in. Desert just arrived and was supposed to me warm it's stone cold. DON'T THINK I WILL BE COMING HERE AGAIN.

Had a great time here, the kids can struggle at times but the lad working (Lee I think) made sure they had a good time. He constantly checked in and made sure food came out in a reasonable time frame.

Came to the carousel for dinner with the family. Lee was great! He was really friendly, polite and helpful, we will come again. 😊

Booked for Christmas day lunch. Was very busy but we weren't informed that they were short staffed in kitchen. Sat for 2 and half hours and all we had was starter. People on next table had waited 3+ hours for dessert. So we gave up. Manageress was very understanding and apologised then told us of staff difficulties. We got refunded and a free meal at another date. Not the lady's fault but I think we should have been informed about long wait.

Came in yesterday quick service by Lee running around always service with a smile very good and good food good atmosphere will be going again

Went for Xmas dinner, booked for the 1pm sitting, people packed in like sardines, sat on uncomfortable chairs at a table made for 1 but there were 3 of us, no Xmas decorations up, no Xmas music, it didn't feel like Xmas at all, didn't get our starter until way after 2pm, the soup was luke warm, then waited an hour for the main, cold chips, the steak was fine, there must have been at least 50 people sat in a small room and I only seen 1 person clearing tables/setting tables & bringing food to the tables, they obviously couldn't deal with the amount of people they were so unprepared, we were still sat at the table waiting for dessert at 4pm and at this point we seen lots of people leave so I decided enough was enough and made a complaint to I assume was the boss, she boxed our dessert up and told us we would get a refund of a third of what I paid, it was just a really bad experience for what should have been a good day, poor service warm food, long waits and not festive at all, pure greed was put before making sure paying customers got a good 3 course Xmas meal. Will never go back to this place.

My friends and I had a meal here for a 30th, we all really enjoyed it, the steak flatbread was cooked perfectly already got a table booked for next week, the lady working was so polite and helpful!

Great customer service from the bar staff a specially Tom c helped with everything we needed, would definitely eat here again

The area where the pool table is is meant to be an over 18 area only my nephew is 17 and we always play pool there but were told we are not allowed to. As we were walking out there was a 3 year old in the area. We ordered food online and most of it was out of stock. Spoilt our food choice. Please look at this pub and staff. Revamp the food menu, compared to other greene king pubs the menu is ridiculous

Never disappoints. Great staff and food

I been coming to this pub doing quiz every Tuesday for bout 10 years , I since staff come and go also every mangers past and old , the staff have always been friendly, food is always brilliant as always

Took the family for breakfast with Santa, and absolutely loved it. Enjoyed the food and the staff were great. The cooked breakfast really hit the spot. Lots of seating options.

It's OK no ales on again ......

Excellent customer service especially from Lee

Always love this place in the office the food is really good for the price. It’s hit and miss. Sometimes you can go and be waiting a very long time but others it’s okay. The atmosphere is also hit and miss if the regulars that are in sometimes it’s very rowdy And not a place to take children but other times it’s okay. We usually go here and use the office if there is a large group of us.

Went for quiz night absolutely amazing made to feel so welcome

The food was lovely, service was great even though there was a bit of a wait as they had parties in it wasn’t a problem

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!

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.

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.

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 .

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

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

Reasonably priced drinks and helpful & polite staff especially Paul & Tom who served us 🙃

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

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

At my table there was two couple's my friend received there food I was left waiting for mine which when it finally arrived it was not what completely all there so back to kitchen to full fill my order and by this time my friends had finished there's

Great pub, we don’t eat but come every Tuesday for drinks with family. All the bar staff are lovely especially Paul

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!!

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

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.

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 best place still to go for a quiz on Tuesdays the food and desert is good here and the bar staff lee Jamie and Paul are polite and kind people who you can talk to and have a laugh with when they are working

Come in here on a Tuesday to meet my mum and nanna bar staff are very friendly especially Paul

Came for dine and dance, we was all that impressed we have booked for the next. Thank you for a great afternoon.

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

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

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

Great food and good value , recommend .

Good night, excellent local pub
