Horse & Farrier in Stockport

Great to return to an old haunt after so many years. Tastefully altered and decorated, fantastic ales, great staff. Hats off Hydes. This visit was with the inclusion of lunch. The brunch was very satisfying along with the chicken burger.

Excellent food can recommend the Sunday lunch. Great choice of cask beers. Staff are extremely helpful and go out if their way to ensure customers have a great visit. Debbie was amazing, very helpful and accommodating helping us with table seating.

Great pub. Brilliant customer service. We had an 18th birthday party there and they couldn’t do more. Food was ace, service was really welcoming and made us feel special. Thank you team!

Great place, lovely service.. Nice fresh food..👍

Good selection of beers, friendly staff and good atmosphere

Very friendly amotosphere was great we were made to feel very welcome by Karen I explained we wanted a quieter area as my wife is hard of hearing to have some lunch and drinks so karen shown us a nice quiet area of the pub so we ordered some drinks and starters and mains the food was lovely and was presented well we didn't have to wait too long so compliments to the chef and thankyou Karen for making us feel at home and very welcome nothing was too much trouble for her she even brought our drinks over for us as I was struggling to carry them we will definitely be coming back the service and food was excellent

Great atmosphere, as soon as we entered we were greeted by a member of staff behind the bar who said that they would be with me in a moment.

Called in for lunch before going to see Blossoms at Wythenshaw Park. I had Sunday lunch with Turkey which was really lovely only criticism is no mashed potato 😞. My husband had chicken in a basket which was really nice too. After eating watched the Newcastle game and had a few drinks. Bar staff were really nice and friendly. Had a nice time would definitely go again if we are there for a concert again.

Good pub, barmaid was nice. 🤙🏻 from France, Jordy

Great pub with some good acts getting the vibe going

1st time here gorgeous food, served by lovely Karen

Great bar ... fabulous beer garden

I come in here a couple of times a month - it’s a lovely welcoming pub. Just a couple of points which could make it better Several staff members chew chewing gum excessively whilst serving especially a young girl with black hair - I feel when serving there should be no chewing gum or be told to chew more discreetly. A lady who serves food (I think she’s a new manager) has really long matted hair I feel this is very unhygienic and maybe she should wear a hair net when serving. There’s also a really grumpy older lady behind the bar I try to avoid being served by her luckily she only seems to work day time hours. A positive note to end the pub is well run by Liz and always very clean for a pub there’s also a lovely young lady who always serves with a smile (I forget her name but she’s just finished an Art course at Trafford College)

Great service, food was tasty and filling. Dirty dog could have had more filling to be fair but everything else was lovely. Nice chilled atmosphere in the afternoon.

Food was amazing. Service just as amazing. Debbie served us and she was brilliant! She couldn’t have done enough. We will definitely be back! For the food AND the service!

The staff are attentive and very friendly. Always have a good time when we come in whether as a couple or with friends. Highly recommend

Been plenty of times. Never a bad time of year to go but great In summer in the beer garden.

Lunch was very nice good value for money the lady with blonde curly hair was very warm and friendly made us feel very welcome we didn't have to wait too long for our meals great service will definitely come again

Nice pub, nice beer garden, staff really polite the food wasnt great, ordered turkey ciabatta &gravy it wasnt great dried up little bits of meat on a cob of bread garlic cheese bread looked microwaved and stale, maybe it was just a bad choice as others food looked great

Called in to eat for first visit everyone was so friendly, thank you to Jack for his help, the beer was perfect and the food was home made and it is this world. Can't wait to go again

My wife and I have recently started to frequent the Horse & Farrier however after the reception we received on Wednesday 22nd May we will never return. On arrival we were met by a lady, don’t know her name, however can best be described as middle aged with long hair bleached and fashioned into ringlets….. you will know who you are by this description! You are the rudest person we have ever had the displeasure of meeting, rude and abrasive and possessing zero service mind. Ok we can always have a bad day however don’t bring this into the workplace because you are the face of the business. My advice is try to attain a brighter disposition and enrol on an intensive course on customer relationships and good manners. You have lost a new customer, we are going back to the Red Lion Cheadle where the staff are a delight.

Times it poorly with the hot weekend so wasn't the bussiest, but service was excellent especially Mia and Jack who were both extremely welcoming and attentive! Also having shamrocks on the Guinness was a brilliant bonus

Really good food and fast service. Were really helpful and friendly at the bar. There was 5 of us and served us quickly and plenty of tables to sit at

Went to see a band, The Still, who were excellent. Lively and friendly atmosphere and a good range of Hydes cask ales. Good pub.

I have visited here on numerous occasions, I normally don't review but feel I must after last night 1st may as I wasn't happy. Upon arriving being a disabled driver I found the designated parking spot by a non blue badge holder. Upon entering the building the bar staff a lady in black t-shirt & pony tail asked if she could help.i gave my order all to usual standard I informed her that there was a large new jaguar car parked in disabled bay and not displaying blue badge. This wasn't acted on or seemed to bother her. I suffer with severe mobility problems after a stroke I had to park as far from entrance as I could off as it was only available space left. There were a group of gentlemen outside I presume it belonged to one of them none looked disabled as I looked when I left. The food I had mixed grill was dry, the other bar staff lady was very nice and older lady she is always very helpful and pleasant. I shall return but probably not for awhile I felt let down as a disabled customer as the younger lady must of thought I'm not saying anything to the jaguar owner in case they left this service is disgusting disabled bays are there for a reason for DISABLED people I live in Gatley this is terrible for the pub and needs redressing please

Best pub around! The staff are always pleasant even when they are rushed off their feet. Keep up the good work. 🍻

I've drank in this pub for 36 years. So disappointed that your hounded out of the pub. I'll never drink in their again. Absent manager, untrained staff and unclean premises, with toilets that have not been looked after for months.

Great old style pub. Loads of room

Excellent food at a reasonable price with a good selection of beers, staff where all very friendly, small carpark at rear with overflow parking close by

Called in about 6pm for a quick drink. The place was very busy, mainly with diners. Clearly, this pub is doing something right.

Went there with my daughter she's13 to watch the football it has a great atmosphere the staff are amazing we've actually been twice now and we have to say the food is amazing and it's family a great friendly place the prices are reasonable for the food and drinks.

Very friendly staff. Accommodating with good service. Pub grub good value for money.

Nice pub! Shame about the Hydes wifi which sucks to login to and there’s no mobile signal (ed: to clarify we were trying to laise with a friend who was stuck in traffic trying to join us. The signal was so bad that I had to go outside to check/send WhatsApp messages. I would really advise Hydes to make their wifi as easy as possible to use.)

Drink in here often, beer fine. Second time trying the food...awful. Fish n chips, soggy slimy batter, hard chips. The "steak and kidney suet pudding" is a dried up, brown, hard pie. The chef needs to nip over to the chippy for a proper suet pudding. Same hard and dry chips, and a small jug of watery gravy. And little change out of £30 with the beer. Our village is crying out for decent pub food

We only popped in for a few drinks quick service

1st time here only live 2mins away the food is amazing the staff are brilliant not miserable which doesn't happen much in this day and age. Inside is so cosy feels like a traditional English pub not to loud but plenty of people enjoying themselves ill be here once a month now I would say it seems a bit pricey but I don't go out much so it might be the average price for beer and food but 100% recommend and kept asking if I had allergies when I ordered food

Nice place, food was very nice.

Nice food,decent prices,lovely barstaff

Good old fashioned pub, good food and beer, great service, dog friendly, what more do you need!

Very bland atmosphere but bar staff attentive

Nice pub. Went with work colleagues. Decent beers, nice atmosphere, good friendly service.

Proper English pub. Good selection of food.

Great pub just a shame it's full of bitter blue noses. And when i say bitter I mean really bitter.

Beautiful Christmas Dinner. Beautifully presented food. Service was excellent. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Liz and staff were excellent hosts

Great pub ,vastly improved on a few years back .

Clean great place. they're always ready to serve and the food is delicious the staff team are really polite will do anything for you.

Lovely place for food and drink staff realy nice and helpful

18 of us had a really happy Christmas get together.. the food was spot on and served with great pleasant attitude as we had all ordered a variety of dishes off the Christmas menu Really recommend this pub

Was decent. Service was abit slow and regular customers sat round the bar often got priority which was slightly annoying.

Unfortunately drugs have become a common thing in this pub.

Food was great and prices are cheap for meals.staff are really nice and friendly such a lovely pub x

Lovely Lunch , food was Spot on . Staff were really welcoming and very helpful . Can’t fault it , fires were on very cosy . Perfect for a bite to eat and a cheeky pint .

The pub is lovely, really nice inside and very cosy, the food was absolutely excellent, big portions and great price Debbie served us and she was so nice, very friendly and very helpful, she couldn't have done anything more to help us!! More pubs should have staff like Debbie, she made it a lovely family get-together

Had a few drinks b4 going for a curry across the road. Nice atmosphere

Super friendly bartenders with plenty of cold brew to choose from

Great service 👏 👍 👌 will definitely go back 👍 👏 🥰🥰😍😍😍

Amazing Sunday, thank you. The manageress is wonderful.

Lovely staff & welcoming atmosphere - would definitely recommend

Lovely staff and a great selection of beers, top pub!

Came back here after just 3 weeks when I left 5 star review. So disappointed, ordered Sunday roast duo my wife had roast beef dinner. When it came there was a very thin measly slice of beef with some turkey, explained to waitress I was disappointed she took it away then came back saying this was "the spec" for the duo, I replied I do not want it then as had it 3 weeks ago and was over the moon with the meal. The asst manager told her to tell me that if I wanted the beef, I would have to pay for both. Needless to say I took It to the manager and told him I was not having it and wanted beef, which came back on same plate minus the turkey with 1 extra slice of beef added. Needless to say will not be returning this after 20 years of calling here not as a regular but often especially for food. Avoid like the plague.

We went in today 4 adults 3 children, we were greeted, seated amd chatting to the staff within 2 minutes. High chairs bought over to us at the table. The young waitress was chatting tot he kids. The children's meals were fantastic prices and quality. The Sunday roast were all fresh and tasty. We most certainly will be back.

Started to go back in not changed still a Lovely place.

Came along for the wife's birthday with my two son the food and drinks are excellent value and the staff make you feel very welcome thanks to Liz for sorting everything out will definitely come again in the near future.

great pub for a drink and some food.

Great local pub serving Gatley, good food and nice atmosphere.

Love it. Great quiz on a Thursday too

Nice afternoon, lovely burgers outside, inches cider.

We came here a couple of weeks ago, it was a Friday evening begin of July , we stood at the bar for 15-20mins waiting to get served, we eventually got served , by young lad , who was also serving someone else at the same time (obviously a regular) then left us to then look for the card machine, that another member of staff needed , Eventually 10mins later getting our drinks we sat down with friends , We then went to bar again later in the evening to get large round in , again stood there waiting , 5 staff on not that busy but again waited & waited , we were right in front of main till front of bar , this time the young blonde girl seemed to be ignoring us and serving all the young lads that came to the bar 1st !! Just feel if your not a regular your not that welcome , Several Tables full of glasses while staff stood around .

Our first visit and regret wasting time and money on what can only be described as overpriced and tasteless awful food. When we arrived, the pub was busy and very noisy. That should have been a good sign to leave and never go back. Ordered the cheee and onion pie. Big mistake. The pie was mainly potato and didn't taste of cheese at all. The baked beans were a portion small enough for a child. When we commented about the lack of cheese and taste, the staff including the chef were indiffernt, even suggesting we don't order it again. They would be lucky if we ever set foot in the pub again let alone spend money. Avoid as they are plenty of nice eating establishments in the area.

We were there for a pub quiz night. A lot of fun while enjoying a tasty beer.

Was in for a few drinks 🍻 was great 😃

It's a great place with cheap quality food , go there every weekend for a meal and drinks with my friends . Lovely staff x

Didnt order food but always a good night in here.

Lovely pub. Didn’t eat there but ale selection is very good. Service was a bit slow but largely due to short staffing. Will come back do it again!

Found it a very friendly and service excellent. I would highly recommend a visit.

Nice Staff Great landlady 2 outside seating ares one for football smoking Keeps pub clean just need some outside umbrella's for some shade at times when very hot sunny

Lovely relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and service, went in with my partner and we both had Steak, it was delicious, cooked to perfection 👌 Thank you 👍

Busy place and a good beer garden some good beers and service is spot on

Fantastic pub with a friendly atmosphere and plenty of drink options. My local pub since I moved to Gatley and very popular with the local area.

The Farrier is a great pub and serves good value meals but it's portion control has become ridiculous. Their cheese pies are fabulous but comes with less than a tiny tea spoonful of peas. One fork full and its gone. Also I counted seven chips. This is not a one off, it was the same the last time I ate there. I complained, but was told the chef doesn't listen.

Liz and her terms are fabulous. Courteous, helpful and friendly. Recently moved to the area and everyone made us feel welcome. Great food for the prices and a fabulous atmosphere. Also a bonus, dog friendly which Charlie loves a walk to the pub. A great local ,top food and somewhere to watch the footie 5⭐️. Many thanks Mark & Family

2023 update. Been coming here with Casta for 40 years. (Oddly I have only known him for 20.) Very popular locals pub. Can be hard to navigate past them when going to and from the bar. Good real ale selection from Hydes and their offshoot micro breweries. Beer garden to front and side. Few too many TV's for me. Currently on a high since Liz took over in 2021 following the latest refurb. Food greatly improved. Gets really busy, hardly ever totally quiet. On the downside (for me) people can reserve tables...esp Saturday evening and Sunday lunch.

First time visit to this pub and we had a very enjoyable time. There is a really great pub atmosphere and it was pretty busy as well so it had a good buzz about it. The Hydes beer was excellent and is clearly well kept. We both had fish and chips which was well presented, well cooked and tasted great. Great beer and fish and chips are a marriage made in heaven. Plus a dessert that was brought in but still very nice. The downside for us personally is that there are a fair number of television screens. In fairness the sound was off but we still don't like them. However there are a number of tables from where the television screens are not in sight so a good result from our prospective. Probably the biggest plus for are the team of people that work there. They were very pleasant, very efficient and hard working. We have lived on the Cheadle side of the A34 for many years bur this is the first time we have been there. We will be back.

Great pub with friendly service. The Cheese & Onion pie is a must!

Lovely run pub staff are really friendly very clean. food is amazing

Far too many good looking people

A proper pub, we'll run and good service at the bar. Always enjoy our time there and the beer is spot on too!

Went for a few jars on Boxing Day. Great atmosphere and good beer.

Great experience on Christmas day all the staff was bubbly and cheerful

We booked this pub for Xmas Eve for our elderly Mum's first trip out of her care home since Covid restrictions lifted. It has been our local for eating out and we felt the layout and ambulience of the pub would be ideal for this special occasion. From beginning to end this trip was excellent, Mum is in a wheelchair and the staff were extremely kind and helpful in allocating an appropriate seating area for our party, even bring drinks to the table to ensure we could remain by her side. The member of staff a young blonde lady could not have done any more to make this occasion extra special. Although they were as usual busy she even upon seeing us taking photographs offered to take some for us. Now we have some glorious photos that we are delighted with, but will mean so much more to us in the future. The food as usual was superb, they have an excellent chef and believe me that is praise indeed as we are a tough gang to please. Service was quick and efficient and more importantly of all our Mum had a truly memorable experience. Bearing in mind she is 95 years young that is a vital ingredient in organising events designed especially for her. This truly is a welcoming pub for all, young and old. The customers, although the pub was busy ensured we had room to steer a heavy wheelchair out and some kind gentleman even held the door open. So a special Thank You for a gloriously successful visit to the wonderful Horse and Farrier.

Staff have always been great, the beer on tap is limited although decent but the food was awful. The gammon was supposed to be 10oz, 8 ounces of that were probably the ice cube around it before it was microwaved. The toast with the all day brunch was warm bread (I use the term warm ironically) and the portion sizes were no larger than I received in primary school. The coleslaw was yellow with the steak sandwich, the sausage with the all day brunch was about 3 hours past its best, the mushrooms looked like they had been dipped in butter but not actually cooked...the list goes on. I've had better at Wetherspoons and that's not a statement I ever thought I'd make. Lovely pub inside, it's been my local for years but I will never make the mistake of ordering food here again.

A great place for a convivial lunch for our badminton club

Popped in for lunch, very nice, good food friendly staff, always worth a visit

Went for the cheap menu, actually rather nice. Great pint and happy to find a TV free area. Lovely pub.

Went here with a couple of friends for Sunday Lunch, and what a great place! Great selection of drinks, food superb and the staff, although really busy were the best. Highly recommended.

Pleasant décor and covered outside seating/smoking area. Bit pricey for alcohol for just a local pub. Mixed bag when it comes to patrons. Have had lovely chats with locals, have also experienced the pub being swarmed by Muppets.

A great night once again for Halloween and fundraising by Rod Morley & Co. Liz and all the staff. Great pub and atmosphere.

The new food menu is great! A proper pub with a good selection of well priced drinks. Great for watching the football too. A proper local.

Going to be my local. In the next week or so. Ive not been in the pub for at least 30 years when my gran was banned when she was 80 for drinking a litre bottle of gin with a 90yrs old friend and only paying for the tonic. Fantastic memories. The staff were great a lovely pint of Stella and fish and chips which was also great and very quick service. Highly recommended.

Never thought about coming here before even though it'd a ten minute drive So glad we came Lovely atmosphere Lovely Sunday dinner Lovely pudding Really reasonable priced
