Fairfield Arms in Manchester

A lovely Christmassy welcome from Chris and his team.

The group of people I was with was fantastic. The seating arrangements weren't very good. Two square tables and a round table were shoved together right up near a window. Once in I couldn't get out to go to the bar, or the loo . VERY uncomfortable seating for disabled people.

Lovely food, great atmosphere . Staff really attentive, and pub was really busy., 😌 Thank you ♥️

Festive menu Food over microwaved. No friendly greeting. Was our 1st visit and won’t be returning. Been to other Ember Inns and the experience was so much better.

Good food and great value for money

Called in at 15-15hrs today 9/12. Was asked to sit at table, and waitress would take my order. By 16-00hrs 45 mins later, I'm still waiting, no waitress, no food, wasn't even offered a drink. Atrocious service!

Great atmosphere - meal - lovely great friendly team

Have been here a few times. Always been a good experience until today. The menu has changed and not for the better. The service was very slow, our food was cold when we finally got it, 45 minutes after it was ordered.

Dan greeted us with a warm and friendly welcome and although it was very busy we were given a very nice table we ordered our food and it arrived promptly, the food was delicious and the wine was excellent, the staff are very efficient and friendly. The Fairfield Arms is a lovely cosy place to have a nice meal or just drinks

Excellent, been coming in for 28yrs still think it's fantastic

Good food good value for money, good atmosphere and friendly staff.

First time being here, absolutely loved it. Unfortunately there wasn't any tables available at that time but the front of house manager did everything to ensure we didn't have to leave and we got 2 amazing cocktails, great food and were welcomed very well. Can't beat it, thank you!

Clean & good staff with good value for money food & drinks

Fantastic slow cooked beef rib Sunday lunch is da bomb

Great family atmosphere booked for Christmas day. Lovely Peroni.

Waited a while but don't mind that. The food and service was really good.

Drinks only friendly service & prompt service

The best sunday roast I have had in a LONG time, will have again and would HIGHLY recommend to others.

Just ordered a BEEF roast meal deal. You’ve not sent the beef or cauliflower cheese!!!!

This is a hidden gem! You walk into the entrance of an old grand house, and once inside, it's like you are transported back in time. Greeted by a huge staircase and big open rooms with open fires burning. The decor and furnishings added to what is a really lovely place. The food was sublime, I had sheppards pie and seasonal veg followed by the crumble. The food was outstanding. I was drinking the red rioca was also a very very lovely drink and went down abit to easy! Sore head the following day!. We went on Tuesday night, so it was quiet with only a few guests in. There aren't any sreens showing the news or football what was a lovely change. I'd highly recommend this lovely place to couples and small groups and families. Got to mention Sue who served us. Very happy to chat, very warm and welcoming. We will certainly be going back.

Friday 15th December 2024. Called in for a few beers. Left 18:40 ish. The pub looked full or tables reserved. Seems a nice place to eat. Had 3 ales on. Recommended

Since the Fairfield has been under new management food isn't as good as it used to be.

Absolutely loved our Sunday Roast, if there was anything to mention it was the roasties, too hard , service and atmosphere brilliant!!

Food was lovely, took some time from order to table despite not being busy. Plenty of car parking spaces.

class service lovley woman, good with her hands but evan better with her mouth

Food was great and Jenny and Amy were amazing

Stopped serving a party of 8 because 1 person didnt have ID. Other than than was ok.

Food was great, service was even better. Big up kitchen, Jenny, Josh and Nathan

First time visit and everything, from start to finish was excellent and great value for money

We had the Sunday chicken and the rib beef roast. Very very nice.

Great food and great atmosphere

Reasonable price, comfortable ground floor

Great food as always at a great price. Good selection of beers, recommended

It's great, staff are great and friendly. Beer is seriously too expensive.

Fantastic service from Nathan, Sam and Sue. Food was tasty and great value.

Marvellous meal, friendly service. Thanks to Sue.

Fantastic service from sue she was very helpful and the bar staff gave good service

Dined on 29/9/2024 we had 2 beef Sunday dinners ,food was excellent chris and his team do an excellent job.

Sue and Josh were great! Very friendly and welcoming!

Come here regularly food always good manager and staff always make us welcome

Lovely pub Decent food. Incredible value for money.

We had roast dinner which was nice but we didn't like the roast potatoes we think they were frozen ones but the Yorkshire pudding was lovely

Visited as a large group for lunch. Food was just average, battered mushrooms tasted like that had been cooked in dirty fat and the steak sandwich was more fat than meat. The service was excellent.

Beautiful food brilliant service I would give 5🌟 but that to me indicates no room for improvement and there is always ways to improve ( blame my teachers ) 🤣👍

steak cooked to perfection, soggy onion rings! 9/10

Very disappointed tonight have eaten here before and last time was lovely. Tonight we tried curry night starter was nice but a very small portion 3 small pieces of chicken, however the main was super poor, lamb jalfrezi , very watery sauce and 3 small pieces of lamb , very much like a poor ready meal, no texture, no depth of flavour , lots of chilli to hide the factb it had 0 taste. My best recommendation is order from the main menu.

Sue got us a table straight away on a Saturday night,the service food and staff are great and a great menu is great too came In the week for a meal for 4 same service from sue again so 5 stars here

Really enjoyed ourselves never been before I'm disabled told them in my booking was very accommodating staff behind bar and wait on staff were very friendly always smiling even when it was very busy will visit again.

We were very impressed with everything, Dan made us feel very welcome and ensured we were looked after during our meal. All staff were attentive and made our evening feel special.

Great food and friendly staff although as you need to self order food at the bar 2 staff serving is not adequate. This caused long queues.

Very disappointed with the Sunday duo veg including cabbage was hard roast potatoes were warmed up and soggy chicken very dry and gammon tough all in all not an enjoyable meal it was a birthday treat Won't be returning anytime soon

Staff were fast and friendly and made to feel welcome as I came in

The Fairfield Arms is consistently great in its food, service and atmosphere. We’ve been coming to the FA for nearly 30 years.

Great experience and enjoyed the food

although the food was well priced and did taste nice the service was very slow we waited 20 mins just for four shots and the bar staff was just stood talking (we ordered at table) the pint of cider i had didn’t even taste right but due to how long it took to be made and served i’d just drank it the price of drinks was not worth what we got £3.35 for not even a full pint or coke

Came here for a afternoon meal waited over 2 hours ad are starter nothing for 2 hours meal comes cold never again will we come here

Staff were lovely. Meals were brought out quickly and together, which is a big plus from me.

Me and my family come here on a regular basis. The food is great. There is plenty for everyone to do with seating both indoors and outdoors (sheltered)

Husband took me out for a drive as I'm recovering from major surgery and we nipped in for a cheeky dinner. Staff are lovely and were very polite and attentive. The new menu was easy to choose food from. Food came quickly, was delicious and not expensive. Hubby had the 3 courses for £11 something. Great place to eat.

I love the Fairfield Arms - it's one of my all-time favourite pubs in Manchester. I noticed they've updated their menu recently. The Slow-Cooked Rib of Beef on their menu was just incredibly delicious. I had it again today, and it was still absolutely fantastic, cooked to perfection and piping hot. I'm pretty picky when it comes to food, but I'd easily give them 5 stars! :)

We just love the atmosphere here ,everyone is welcoming and friendly. Chris the perfect Host always remembers your names and Dan greets everyone like a friend . Food and service ,great choices and efficient no sultry faces !!! We love the quiz night and is regularly full of all ages competing for the first place !! ( And a voucher for future meals drinks etc)

Came here in a weekday afternoon for a catching up. We ordered some coffee and a soup. The coffees came with brownies, while my soup came with 2 slices of bread. The waiter is nice and the environment is cozy.

Came here for lunch with a group. Bar staff were lovely and chatty. Food and drink not too expensive. Did come out rather slow.

Food was great, only disappointment was no smooth bitter on sale. Chips could have been hotter.

This is just such a lovely place. The atmosphere is friendly and warm. Always good food. Plus your always made to feel welcome no matter how busy they are

Stopped off for a drink, great selection of beer and wine. Had 25% off on the app as it was husbands birthday week. Will be back!

Had dinner with my daughter. Staff were great and attentive to our needs. Food was really good tonight!

Friendly staff and efficient service. Food was below average with items overcooked and dried out and microwave used for some things..

Nice place with quite descent steak it is one of the places you want to go back again, definitely have with peppercorn.

Food is ok if its not busy, but overpriced. Most of the tables r reserved all day!!?? Staff look miserable, and why wouldn't they...?

Nice beer garden, food is average but a nice place for a pint and a good outdoor area. The interior is very nice lots of character and a good selection of beers on tap.

Would be 3 stars but the 2 men on bar made it 4. (There was a lingering old man smell?..)

We had Sunday lunch very disappointed the veg was not cooked, and the gravy was far too salty, everything else was OK.

Great food, wonderful service. This is why we keep coming back. X

Good food. Great place and staff

Lovely atmosphere and service from Josh and Chris, Josh went above and beyond, we arrived early and he managed to get us a table, my fella forgot to order the cheesy garlic bread so when Josh came out with the food he went back and asked the kitchen to do us one which arrived quickly, When we have been in before Josh has served us and booked us tables at Christmas he’s very polite and he’s a credit to your team, always happy and so helpful, Chris the manager is always so welcoming and always happy and willing to help too, I had a mix grill and the steak was cooked perfect by the kitchen Byron and Mitchell, we had such a lovely afternoon and will definitely be back.

Dan, Jenny, the bar staff and the kitchen staff have been absolutely amazing. We’ve had such a warm and friendly experience in the Fairfield this evening. We ordered food and a few bottles of fizz on an afternoon after an exceptionally long week. The team in the bar have really helped us relax and enjoy our evening. Would highly recommend, food and staff are fantastic…the only thing missing is a bit of music

Nice place to Dine or just have a drink, you could even sit outside in the beer garden either the front or at the back of the pub. it's a very relaxing atmosphere and the landlord and bar staff are very welcoming. Steak night on a Thursday and a curry night every Friday. The food is really nice and they have lots of choices on their menu. You should try there hot and spicy chicken burger with fries and gravy.

The Fairfield Arms is a very friendly place. The staff are very efficient and friendly. The food is also very good. Especially the Grilled Fillets of Sea Bass. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

Great service and great food . This is our local and we enjoy everything about this place

Unfortunately the service was poor. The staff were miserable and a woman called Amy was extremely rude, and probably racist. She spoke down to me and was vile. The food wasn’t anything special and the atmosphere was miserable. I won’t be going there again and I wouldn’t recommend it.

Superb ,thanks staff first class

Was lovely will definitely be ordering again

Fantastic pub . Good food and great range of drinks . Staff wonderful... since the refurbishment, which is lovely by the way.. the food has improved even more... the new curry dishes are lovely too... really tasty. The fish and chips is excellent 👌 really lovely. My hubby has the mixed grill it is lovely lots of different meats on it very filling ... the staff work so hard the place is really busy Saturday early evening with diner's... that shows how popular it is. Chris and Dan are always happy to see you xnd will take time to come and welcome you back. Lovely service and great ambience.

Lovely building and kept nicely inside but the food is just a massive let down, went with large party and most of us felt our meals tasted like microwave meals, and some of us left hungry. Staff weren't particularly attentive either, we ordered through the app as we had no idea if anyone was going to come and take our order.

Had picky sharing food with friends, lovely. Service great considering how busy it was. Atmosphere as always wonderful. Thank you Chris and all the staff x

Had the most amazing night with family and friends at The Fairfield Arms, thanks to Chris and his amazing team making our fundraising night so special Chris and team really understand what it means to be part of the community we are so lucky to have this beautiful pub in our town. Great food and lovely selection of wines that won’t break the bank, will look forward to visiting very soon Michelle and Craig
