Hope in Salford

Delicious lasagne, wonderful carvery and excellent service from Laura! Very happy squad right here, saved us from no carvery after Coppice Wood had a barmy

I have visited the Royal Sovereign many times since the refurbishment. All staff are very friendly, smarty presented and professional. Please pass on my thanks and best wishes to Allan, who is always very polite and friendly. In fact he is very customer focused, displays excellent communication and customer service skills. He is witty, always has a smile and keeps all customers happy.

Allan top bar man great attitude all the bar staff are great I have been going in there thirty years and the staff now are fantastic

Disinterested manager. Staff Mismanagement booking Shortage of food choices. Poor quality tasteless

I have not been to this pub since the 80's, visiting from afar, a lovely experience, especially the manager Steve a fantsatic host and very professional.

Been to Salford royal for a scan, hungry so popped into the hope, Amazing meal 2 for £10.99, brilliant chefs, great service. Pleasant staff, definitely return. Thank you

just been for lunch food was lovely, and a big thank you Alan for the service Alan went above and beyond highly recommended fantastic service will definitely be visiting again

This venue exceeds expectations from a variety of perspective. In terms of covid-19 issues, it really couldn't be better organised. There is a vast beer garden that lends itself well to all aspects of social distancing. In terms of food, the Chefs do a fantastic job and I have never had cause to complain. Perhaps the best aspects though are that the venue retains the feel of being a 'local' and its staff are the most pleasant and willing that you will encounter. Outside of lockdown measures, the Royal Sovereign is also a sports bar par excellence and also provides quizzes and weekend DJ's, which I assume will again serve everyone well on a futuristic basis.

Fantastic, friendly and helpful staff. Always a welcoming smile on everyone's face. Speedy food and good drinks, keeps me coming back for more. Highly recommend this local boozer for family, friends and business meetings. Staff can't do enough for the government guidelines for covid. Pubs never been cleaner and hand sanitiser dotted around the place everywhere for customers to use. Too many brilliant staff to name all of them who all bring great qualities to the company and keeps the place afloat. Keep doing what your doing guys!

Been in the Royal Soverign for a few beers and a bite to eat and I have to say it was a great afternoon. The food was really nice and the service was brilliant. We were looked after by a young lady called Mandy who is a credit to the Green King brand. Nothing was too much trouble for her and her knowledge regarding the track and trace procedure made it very easy to follow their guidelines. Thank you Mandy, you made our visit a very enjoyable one.

Visited here on Tuesday tea time, very busy place, I rang to book a table no problem, ordered the food which arrived rather fast, the curry wasn’t the best, rice was cold but everything else was piping hot and very nice specially the combo, that was spot on, the mixed grill was lovely, service was very good, would defo call again and recommend to friends

Worst run pub a manager that always to busy lay upstairs hungover than helpin staff, gets staff to run his shifts only keeps his job due to makin his self best mates with higher management... friday nights full of underagers

Had heard it wasn't a great place but deceided to try it anyway. I should have just listened. Cold disgusting food, no staff, greasy tables an no atmosphere. Would not recommend, I use to always go here years ago an now its a dive !!!!

Food is amazing! Massive range of foods including vegan menus. Bar is full constantly. All the staff are friendly!

Great beer garden, amazing food and brilliant staff what more could you ask for loved it here. The prices are fantastic aswell cocktails and spirits close to bus and tram next to the hospital aswell

Wait ages for the food when it come it wasn't nice the fish and chips was under cooked.. We order peri peri chicken wings no sauce on them so was plane .. Won't be going again

Courtney is a asset to the pub FOOD was ROTTEN but I put 5 stars for the good customer service given by Courtney

Came for lunch. Service good especially young girl.behind bar.Really poor food.I had hunters chickenChicken was the cheapest you could buy, with very fatty bacon on top.Dried up peas.Fried onions that had been recooked and were soft, tasteless and soggy.Waffle chips which just tasted of fat and were awful.Meal of which I left 80% was probably the worst pub meal I've ever had.Will not be back !

Great visit. New menu with skillet choices and salad. Always friendly. Mark and the rest of the staff brill. Eat here whenever we are over.....

The only negative about this place is the management - holds no regard for staff or customers! Little to no staff training offered, place regularly left without management on the floor or enough staff to cover. other than this the front of house and kitchen staff are amazing, but due to lack of leadership are left picking up the pieces

Chicken burgers sold out so went for a cheese and bacon burger. Zero taste in the burger, best thing was probably the bacon. Cheap and cheerful place

Called in for family meal ( birthday) ordered At The bar with young girl paid by card , food order came out wrong sent back burger asked for no sauce came with sauce steak asked for well done came bloody sent it back burger came back Great More drinks no sign of steak when ordering drinks asked if my order was put in correctly she checked ‘YES’ she said still no steak Buy that time I had enough asked for refund was told no manager on site would ring me ?

Local bar to which we attend regularly for eating out and drinking convient to were we live. Inexpensive pub food burgers,steaks etc but really nice. staff are friendly and service is good. Televisions for football events and full bar menu including many draught beers we attended on New Year’s Eve we paid £5 for a ticket and the night was organised and really good,including a singer,DJ and a buffet in for the price. Tables were laden with party poppers,glow sticks and crackers which was a nice touch. Throughly enjoyable evening had by myself and family.well done to the manager and all the staff

Went for a family meal, been to this chaon before normally quite good .no burgers or stake how can a pub that has both items as a staple run out, if we hadnt had to pay £2 to park (refunded off your food bill) we would of gone else where

Popped in here to wait for a cab after nearby medical appointment.

Couldn’t ask for a better pub.👍🏻🍺🍸 Good clean pub with amazing food drink and service. Also NHS staff get a 20% discount!!!

Visited with my daughter prior to visiting my husband in Salford Royal Hospital.

Looked like a good menu with good prices, until we had to wait way over an hour for our food and When it did come out, the roasts had no stuffing and when we asked about it (as the waiter didn’t even tell us they’d run out) we were offered nothing for it. We also had to pay for more drinks as we had to wait to wait so long. The steaks were also over done and so dry. Very dissapointing, go elsewhere!

Servise on the bar is very poor waiting time 20mins to be served. Inexperienced bar staff adding to the frustrations!

We called in after visiting a family member in hospital. Was met with a very warm welcome of a member of staff called Ian food typical pub grub perfectly edible and good price would call again.

Excellent service 5star great food good value Now call the royal sovereign sweets good Good parking great place

La Esperanza es ahora llamado el Royal Sovereign. Cenamos en el soberano como el tiempo en el almuerzo un par de pub no estaba lleno y pedimos pollo al curry, después de una corta espera las comidas llegamos. El curry y el arroz frío y llegamos poppadoms eran suaves. Nos quejamos y nos cambiaron las comidas eran más caliente pero las dejamos como estaban sin sabor. Yo creo que la comida ha ido cuesta abajo desde un criterio pobre de todos modos y no puedo ver yo regresaré pronto.

Better now improved food and staff was a bit dated now looks a lot better could do with looking and cleaning of toilets more as smell a bit

Ordered a £5.50 fish finger sandwich. Got a piece of bread with two fishfingers on it. What a bargin! Staff all lovely here but watch the food it was an absolute joke

Fuimos en esta tarde, esperamos 25 minutos para nuestros entrantes, preguntó qué el retraso, dijo que estaban preparando sus entradas ahora. . . . 15 minutos más tarde apareció entonces otro dos, luego mi hubbies chicking alas en un bol con sin placa! ! ! Entrantes de distancia y 2 cervezas y una botella de vino más tarde y no principales, hijo pidió la American fuente £11. 99 La mitad de la comida que faltaba la pechuga estaba hecha y lo que había en la placa estaba seco! ! Carne Fiesta y Pizzarito ordenados hbbie £8. 49 y él fue traído una envoltura! ! Madre y yo ni siquiera esperar para el nuestro, 2 horas de servicio horrible y no había comida les dijo que pegan y nos dieron una toma de distancia! ! ! ! No será goining en nuevo! !

En una zona aparentemente carente de cualquier otra opción pub, esta era la única opción de una miserable noche en Salford.

Service isn't as great as I'd liked, food was burnt . Definite change since its been done up, and not for the better

This visit was very enjoyable, the previous visit had not been too great, food was served cold, after contacting the company we received some vouchers to try it again which we did, he good was delicious, we will definitely visit again

we call in here occasionally on a Monday teatime for a treat, lovely place, nice staff, always good food, last Monday we tried the chicken wing sharer, a bit hot but mmmm, cant wait to visit again

Since the upgrade the food is much nicer and has decent prices. Drinks are average for a pub. Has pub quizzes on a thursday (i think) and karaoke.

Myself partner and son went tonight for tea as a treat!got there at 5.30 and still waiting for food at 7.30!!!!!....with a 6 year old!...I don't really drink so wanted a coffee....the machine was broke!!got a refund and went to the chippy over the road!!The guy came to the table to tell us it would be 20 minutes ...40 minutes later was no sign!...we ordered..2 steaks and a gammon!...really should be quicker as a steak takes 5....when I went to ask they had give our dinner to another table!!!we eat out a lot and for basic pub food was a total let down will NEVER go here again!!!

We visited 20 of us to celebrate a birthday .. The friendly staff couldn't do enough for us .. Excellent food and all came out together within 30 minutes .. thats some mean feat in itself ;) we had a private area which was great .. Would definitely recommend for a group party.Well done Staff for making it a very memorable night

Decided to pop out for tea when family visited. God, what a mistake. Son ordered a combo sharer platter for starter to share, and most of the offerings were rather overcooked - crunchy to the extreme. However when my main arrived,( char sui pork with noodles) we entered different territory altogether. Meat was a burnt offering and virtually impossible to cut without a saw. The rest of the meal was merely lukewarm and rather unpleasant. It was the first time in my many years that I've had to return a meal to the kitchen. Very disappointing meal, I won't return unless the place changes hands.

There was 6 of us in total and we had prebooked for 5pm, right in between a Man United match and a Man City match! We were expecting it to be quite rowdy but eventhough both matches were being showed, we didn't find that it was too loud.It was busy, but all food came out on time and it was all delicious. Possibly the first time we've been out and all plates have been cleared! We were already planning our next visit half way through the starters!The variety of food was brilliant, especially as there were a few picky eaters in our party. Everywhere was clean and the staff were very helpful. The prices were fantastic and ideal if you don't fancy spending a fortune.

Has the potential to be amazing!Great menu, reasonable prices, friendly staff!But, and it's a HUGE but ....It took over 2 hours for our meals to arrive (5 adults, 2 teens & 1 child), and when they came they were burnt .... It seemed like them may have forgotten a meal and kept the others in the pans too long whilst they rushed and prepare the missing one, but that's just my opinion...So we complained (you could have loaded the overlooked scampi into a gun and done some damage) so they replaced it (took 25 mins) about brought my MIL a free drink which was nice. Then more and more issues were noticed so we asked for manager who apologised and said they were 'having issues' and offered a couple of free desserts (these took 20-30 mins to arrive)I am sure it's a 'bad day' as I said the potential is huge, but for now unless I read multiple positive reviews I wouldn't even let my dog eat there.Fingers crossed they turn it round and become popular and well established, everyone deserves a chance which is why Ive tried not to be too negative and find a few positive things!

We went to the hope for a pub tea recently, all was okay but there is definitely room for improvement. The food itself was satisfactory for pub grub, came out fast, nice and hot. The pub however is very dirty, the tables were sticky, dust heaps in the window frames, toilets dirty and my drink had all scum round the inside. The staff were friendly and overall was an alright meal at affordable prices. It's just a shame how dirty and run down this pub is when there is so much potential.

Great Food Great Prices. Personally Sandwiches were great but some may find bread not to there liking being quality made. Heart went out to staff members who were run ragged trying to keep up with orders. For there sake as well as customers really needed one more member of to ease the pressure on them.

The Hope is run by friendly staff, serves good food at a great price and has a lively atmosphere throughout the week with its sports area and pool table. You can expect a full pub over the weekend with loads of great outdoor space to sit out in, DJ's and karaoke on offer. Its also a good location for heading out in to town if you're not ready to finish the night at last orders. Its great value for money, in a good location and is run by a great bar manager and team.

Went here today after work for tea with a group of work colleagues, having been here last about 2 years ago I wasn't expecting too much to have changed - how wrong was I? The beer choices are pretty much between Boddies and 5 types of lager (not that I dislike lager, but why have 5 of the same style?), the 2 pumps they have on the bar for cask ale are not in use? Whilst the fridges appear to stock numerous types of flavoured cider. Out of a group of 8, 5 of us ordered food, 3 of those 5 received food in the expected time frame, the waiting staff then approached the table several times with other peoples orders asking if it was ours - the remaining 2 members of our party received their food about 15 later than the rest. I ordered something called the 'codfather' (battered cod, chips, peas, bread & butter) which whilst edible was overcooked to the point of the batter on the fish being chewy - this was a new taste experience I hope to never replicate! and whilst taking great lengths to extrapolate whether I wanted mushy of garden peas they proceeded to serve mushy peas that even if I liked mushy peas I wouldn't eat as they were clearly over cooked also. I shall not mention the fact that whilst we were at the bar ordering said food another member of the bar staff went to the chippy down the road to get their tea rather than eat in house - buff said!

You may get a discount on parking !! We didn't, food served promptly that's because it had been lying on the side for 4 days and reheated should of been 2 for 10 pound cost me 16 lucky I won 20 pound on the machine giggled at the thought of having another fork full of food and ran off never again !!

Went here for lunch today, was pleasantly surprised. Lovely staff, great food and quick service!!Heard lots of bad things about it. But didn't have any problems

This is a really scruffy pub. When we went in at 3pm on a Sunday afternoon, there were plenty of free tables but every single one of them had dirty crockery or glassware. It was like the place had just had to evacuate the moment everyone had finished their food or drinks. The food itself was mediocre but on a two for tenner deal. Toilets were disgusting.Car park is pay and display (redeem price against food and drink bill).

All I can say about The Hope is that it is extremely well run, customer focused largely due to Sean and his enthusiastic team including DJ Jack Ryan.Food is served promptly and for pub grub it's second to none in the entire area.It caters for all, families and the like and even shows live sports and has events on at the night most days of the week, my favourite being the pub quiz on a Tuesday night. One of the few 5 star pubs left in the Salford Area.
