Fairfield Arms in Manchester

James always serves with a smile and is helpful with the the loyalty card

Lovely place to eat and socialise. Staff are great, special thanks to James on the bar for all his help. Very polite and helpful:)

Had food in here and it was so tasty and the prices are affordable. I was served by a group of amazing staff and they were very friendly, especially James, he was very helpful and kind. Definitely recommend!

Love this pub and the staff! New manager Ben was very helpful. Will be back !

wow.. when you thought it couldn't get any worse! We went in November last year, and it wasnt great then. So we tried again today.. First up, we were seated, under a loadspeaker, we moved, given menus, ordered food. 30 minutes later a young lady came over and said you have been given the wrong menus! There was better choice on the new menu but we have already ordered! Then 45 minutes after ordering we finally get food. Wife had the Sunday roast with the dry turkey, served with greens which was red cabbage?? Extra gravy made the turkey edible. Mine: Mixed grill.. OMG! Steak ordered medium well, it came cremated, so much so the knife couldnt get thru it let alone my teeth! Chicken burnt & dry, and there was something on my plate which i had to ask what they were - fried onions apparently, they don't do onion rings anymore! lol...and to top it off the meat was covered in salt! If i want salt i will add my own! ffs. So much salt on my plate i could hardly eat anything. Just vile. £18 too. After finishing no one came to collect our plates for ages, after 15/20 mins we finally had to ask for our plates to be taken and serve our dessert. Not once were we asked how was our meal, even tho it was clear the plates were still full of uneaten food. Dreadful service. Dreadful food. And no... it wasnt busy so no excuses there. Avoid this place like the plague.

James was very helpful with my order

Was OK but definitely needs improvement. They don't understand simple instructions in the kitchen. A plain burger means just that !Steak came out and it wasn't good at all

Brilliant pub and restaurant, great menu (especially for kids!) tasty food, friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Will be going here again!

Last time I reviewed Fairfield Arms I gave it a five. What a difference now. I took grandkids for dinner after school. The service was lacklustre seemed barely interested and when kids didnt eat chicken wings and I said they were over cooked I got a short apology but nothing else. Said chicken wings were disgusting looked not just overcooked but as if they had been cooked twice, wouldnt be surprised if they were from a previous service. Mashed potato had dry crust around it obviously not fresh. The kids pizza was undercooked. I had scampi it was disgusting, slimy and the tartare sauce looked good but didnt taste like tartar sauce!. Overall so disappointing I dont know whats gone wrong but I wont be going back

On a recent Sunday lunch booking with my wife and Mother in Law, we had the usual warm welcome from Chris. The staff attended to us promptly and we had an excellent afternoon. The food was delicious and hot when brought to the table. A special mention to Ruby and Sam who looked after us very well. We will definitely be going back again. A big thank you to all the staff. Ged Coen.

Lovely welcoming atmosphere.Excellent friendly staff and good food.So sad that Chris Freeman the manager is leaving,always helpful and kind.He will be missed.l wish Chris,all the very best for the future and much happiness to come.

Great night Chris and his team was friendly

Sunday 06/04/2025 booked a table for 6pm and arrived on time, we were advised that there would be a wait of 1hr which we were ok with. Shown to our table and were further informed that of all the Sunday menu choices only Beef and Gammon was available so we ordered Beef and settled down with a drink. Just over an hour later someone arrived at our table and told us that there was no Beef left and would we like to choose something off the bar menu which we declined and requested a refund. So thank you very much Fairfield Arms for leaving us waiting for our anticipated Sunday dinner that never appeared, we will not be back and will advise our friends to give you a miss.

Overall not a great experience when taking our mum and nana out for Mother’s Day took 20 minutes sat around waiting for someone to even take our order to be told after 20 minutes at the bar you have to order online or come to the bar this should have been mentioned to us when we arrived we have never been here before ! Food took an hour and a half it was cold and felt soggy like it had been left around for a while waiting and really not great ! the staff were miserable who were serving us looked like they had been being told off all day or couldn’t be bothered got sat down stairs absolutely no atmosphere table was not set but after going up stairs and seeing the catastrophe of people lining to ask where there food was and to complain was glad to be out of the way Staff were apologetic when raising a complaint 1 thing I can definitely recommend is the desserts these were delicious!! Overall I’ve heard nothing but good about this place so as are first visit it was disappointing I don’t want to rule this place out I think they just overbooked for Mother’s Day but Sunday lunch really wasn’t great this definitely needs to be improved :/

Went there on mothers day took over an hour n half for food to come then wen food come wasn't worth waiting 20 min for standards gone down hill very disappointing never ever going there again what a joke 😑

Not a good experience today...of all days.....Mothers Day. The food was sent back three times. Chicken that you couldn't get your knife into. Garlic bread that was so burnt they tried to cover it up with cheese and scampi that was served with chicken nuggets. Disgusting is the only words for it.

Mid week treat. Both had the set meal and didn't disappoint. Nice atmosphere and great servicevas always.

Came in with my partner on a Saturday - Was greeted by a young lady named Lucy. She gave us lots of information about the menu and the Dine-in app. We ordered the Fish and Chips which was a perfect size for the two of us to share. Lovely staff and a relaxing environment. Will be returning soon!

Lovely lunch time meal. Me and my partner definitely enjoyed ourselves. Bar staff was an absolute sweetheart. Will be coming back next time in manchester thank you Jenny, Victoria, Carlos and Dan for the pleasant experience.

Was served by Abby, she was great and full of beans

I’ve been there a few times as it is my local I came about six months ago and the food was great. We came at lunchtime. When we visited a few days ago, though the food was absolutely shocking I think it’s really hit and miss what service you get with the food here, but I don’t think I’ll be returning for the food We waited over an hour for it, and the crispy chicken burger was disgusting or burnt and rubbery chicken About four of the couples were asking for refunds, so I think a lot of food was wasted that night Happily come back for the drinks though

Came in tonight and had a great time food was lovely and the service from Abbie was outstanding really lovely lady thank you

Unfortunately not the best cuts of meat very fatty n bland. It was very busy which reflects the food served.

We were served by Abby the manager. She was very helpful and polite. Thank you.

Lovely place Worth a visit Not been here since I reviewed it years ago.. this time it was not good! Toilets not clean..(not smelly but grubby) The food was bland, served warm. The creme brulee was the worse iv had! Waitress attributes not the best to unfortunately. Sorry

Thank you for always going above and beyond Dan for us on our Friday night out. Service with a smile and always goes out of his way to make sure we're happy with everything.

Would definitely recommend but I’d also recommend booking

Ordered online via Uber My wife's description was the worst Sunday dinner delivery ever. Extremely small portions & tasteless. One to avoid

Last minute decision, we hadn't even reserved. Lovely food, quick and pleasant service, good atmosphere. Will definitely come back.

Always enjoy eating here, food is delicious and staff very attentive and friendly

Great service from Victoria & Chris Food was delicious from Caroline & Louise

Nice place to dine.. Good food, service and nice atmosphere.

Lovely Atmosphere, lovely food, Chris was a welcoming host.

This time my visit at the Farmfield Arms was not too good as it is usually. By the way, because I have been there on different occasions, dealing with very nice, friendly, and competent staff, I'll not stop of going there. The food is tasty, the atmosphere is nice.

Very friendly bar staff food is excellent

Chris and the team are always open, friendly and provide service with a smile.

Always a friendly atmosphere and really pleasant staff

Went for the Valentine’s Day special, 2 steaks and a bottle of wine for £31! Was not disappointed!! 🙌🏻 Fantastic value for money. We originally stopped for dinner on our way home to Chesterfield from Manchester and really enjoyed the food, so I reserved this and we drove the hour and a half for our night out. I can’t recommend this place enough! The service and atmosphere are just right. They will not disappoint.

Friendly and helpful staff, good food and service never had to wait long for orders, definitely recommend.

Lovely pub, friendly staff and good food.

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

Always a warm and genuine welcome

Staff friendly, food well presented n served hot, well worth the money. Will be going back

On paper this pub looks really nice , but don’t be fooled if you like cheap burnt food , served without a smile this is the place for you , been here a couple of times and the big chap with earrings is a massive dark cloud , trudging around the bar area with the world s weight on his shoulder s , I know we all have Issues , but talk about a mood killer , and like I said food was not great I had the ultimate burger which was burnt with the chicken bits burnt also, we still had a lovely time because not been out together for a long time. , but defo won’t be returning here , sorry for harsh review but that’s how I feel .

Great service...great staff...awesome food...great prices

Absolutely loved our Sunday Roast, if there was anything to mention it was the roasties, too hard , service and atmosphere brilliant!! Just a shame they've stopped doing bottled tonic water, the syrupy stuff is just awful 😖

Lovely birthday Sunday roast for my daughters 25th, rib of beef was delicious, always a fabulous atmosphere, Dan goes out of his way to make you feel special & always welcoming, service is excellent, only gripe-the roast potatoes spoil it a little, the meat, veg & yorki was spot on but feel roast potatoes let it down, the rib of beef defo deserves a good proper roast potato to go with it 👍🏻😊 but over all, one of my fave places to visit for a relaxed bite to eat & a few drinkies, Chris & Dan are lovely, excellent hosts 👌🏼

The manager (not Chris) is the most unapproachable man He is so rude and the look on his face is constantly miserable You wouldn't think you are paying your way! I wouldn't dream of speaking to people the way he does. It's every single time not just a once off The rest of the bar staff are absolutely lovely

Great food, wonderful service. Fabulous deals on food and drinks. This is why we keep coming back. X

Great restaurant. Lovely food and reasonably priced.

Plenty of parking Big place inside but still has cosy feel to it . Staff are friendly and welcoming . Food is tasty and good size portions.

Was placed next to door it was freezing got i n at 4pm was told to move by 5pm becomes people had vouchers my tea was cold and the food looked and tasted reheated I usually like this place seams to have gone down hill..

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.

Drinks only friendly service & prompt service

Was money well spent curry was beautiful

Great deals good food drinks great family pub

Sue, who looked after us, was brilliant and attentive as always. She looked after us superbly the whole time we were there!

We stopped by for dinner after the ballet in Manchester and was absolutely delighted!! The were able to seat us and the atmosphere is fantastic!! The food was so good!! Great value for money. I had the lasagna and my husband had the chicken skewer. Both were fantastic and we plan on returning to try more dishes! We started with the breaded mushrooms and I was. Soooo happy they were perfect and great!! Highly recommended!!!

The service was very quick ,although it was a busy night ,the food arrived quickly and was very nice .Staff were attentive and friendly .

Good pub grub. Great service and food arrived in reasonable time. Definitely good value for money

Good food and great value for money

Nice atmosphere. Great food and great selection of drinks. Reasonable prices. Always good offers available.

Nice food and good service. Thanks

Food was beautiful and fab service from the staff despite it being busy when we arrived! Shoutout to Ruby and the manager who checked in with us to make sure everything was enjoyable. Will definitely be back!

Update: We visited again and the experience was very poor. The grilled chicken was bland, the chicken burger was not crispy, just a piece of lettuce with no sauce and a soggy hash brown on the bun. After waiting 30 minutes for 2nd course, 2 were brought out and 1 person was waiting 15 minutes for theirs to come out. Completely different experience from our first time, shame. Service was a little slow to start but picked up. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The beer battered mushrooms were delicious and the rainbow lasagna was lovely, definitely made in house, prices are reasonable and, the decor with Christmas decorations is beautiful. Could do with some dressing on the side salad with the lasagne. I had 2 courses for £9.99 😊

very good value on a deal for the meals food was very good ,good size portions tasty and well presented .only down side was a 54 minuet wait from ordering to serving of food

Mixed grill was absolutely awful, Piece of steak was inedible, stringy and had more fat than a weight watchers starter group. Sausages were cremated. Chips undercooked. Disappointed, will not return.

Lovely venue with welcoming and friendly staff

Great service, great food and great offers

Food was very poor. Beef was largely inedible, turkey was dry, steak was low quality.

Lovely food and great service. 👍

Warm welcome. Pub was extremely busy. We have ordered quickly but it was nearly 1,5 hour before our starters arrived. They were incorrect therefore one person was left while others ate. Another 45 min for mains which were underwhelming to say at least.. steak not cooked to order, chicken dry, eggs overcooked. Shepherds pie had 1 burnt carrot and no other greens on side. Haloumi skewer was cold, appeared not cooked.. we have ate it as been really hungry waiting over 2 hours !! Next day all 4 of us experienced bad bellies, diarrhea and 2 of the group ended up throwing up. It was a very disappointing experience as we have been coming regularly. It was obvious the pub couldn't cope with the amount of people on site. It has gone down massively in our judgement. What a shame..

I’m not usually one for going out for Christmas Dinner but I’m so glad I did. The pub was beautifully decorated and felt really festive. We had already been asked what choices we wanted and after being seated, the first course came, table cleared quickly, then the mains and finally dessert - but never felt rushed. The food was lovely, the staff really friendly and festive and it was a real treat! Will definitely be visiting again. Thanks for making our Christmas Day!!

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

Nice pub with a good and vibrant atmosphere with decent drink prices.

Considering it was xmas and evey table was full, you would have thought they would have had more staff on. It's not as if they didn't know about the number of xmas parties due in. And there was definitely favourite show to a certain type of guest. I have dined and drank in this establishment over the years and was a little shocked by my recent visit.
