Oxnoble Manchester in Manchester

Had a fantastic night for my friends birthday. Cherie, Faith & Tom behind the bar have been great. Looked after us all night and gave constant service with a smile :)

We had an amazing visit on busy Saturday night. Felt so looked after and people on the bar who we had a good chat with( Cherie, Faith and Tom). Will be back again next week!

Don't bother. If you want cold food and expensive drinks then this is right up your street. Food is served cold an it's dispointing. Walk 30 seconds down the road an go to Big Licks. At least it's cooked there and then. Don't expect much from the staff, unless you are a regular. As for atmosphere they have tvs playing the sports channel an music on, but I wouldn't call it an atmosphere. Better pubs serving food locally.

The first time in here and will definitely return. Good atmosphere, friendly staff, and drinks priced well.

Came here and had an amazing time, shout out to Sam for making my experience! Real asset to the team

Good range of beers. Very good food. Good place for mixed groups, just walking distance from tge Deansgate/Castlefield transport hub. Staff are very friendly indeed. SEPTEMBER 2024 Still a very good pub with a good selection of real beer. Ideal for meeting up with my group of friends. Excellent staff

It used to be a nice pub/restaurant and is now very generic. The staff were nice and helpful when the craft beer we wanted ran out and then when the replacement was off. Feels a bit wetherspoons like now, poor atmosphere with advertising screens and a generic pub menu. I wouldn't recommend making a special journey to go there

Nice pub to stop for a drink. We were in late so didn't see the food. Drink selection was vast and a decent price. The lads behind the bar worked hard all the time we were in there and were very nice.

I stopped for a beer after work. It was clean and tidy with a good atmosphere. Service was quick and the barman was super helpful when picking the IPA

Just came in for food and a drink. 6 of us. Very cold reception from the angry girl behind the bar. She ignored me standing there while she was moaning and swearing about the room availability to a guest who was trying to check in. Eventually, she came to my order and it felt like I was in her way. She slammed the drink on the counter and tipped half of it onto the bar.. when I asked for it to be filled up (a pint is a legal measure, not a suggestion!) it was met with contempt.. it was 'sort of' filled and returned to the bar to further spill half of the content. We have chosen to leave and not give them any more money, for food or anything else. ,#to the owner... Time to train your staff in how to speak to people.. or hire someone without a chip on their shoulder. This page shows the place to be busy.. it is wrong, it is now empty.

Had a burger. Borderline disgusting. Don’t understand what the fuss is about.

Nice pint, happy staff, what more do you want

Over priced drinks for what is basically just a pub. Nothing special! £9.20. For a beer and a J2O!

I used it for lunch in Manchester. The staff provided good service and gave us lots of information about Manchester.

Not usually one to leave a review but would like to say thankyou food was lovely thanks to the staff you were so welcoming made me feel like home good vibes all round and a superb choice of drinks I shall be back again soon big thanks guys

Very nice place, food was well cooked and service was terrific

Faith Faith Faith, that is what I have in this place and coincidentally what the person behind the bar who served us is called (Faith) welcome and inviting, understanding, attentive, kind, caring, noble, soft spoken and great banter and an excellent couple of cocktails made with the 241 deal. BOSSHH

Lovely pub. The staff were incredibly friendly especially Faith who went above and beyond when making our cocktails.

Friendly atmosphere, amazing staff, friendly chef

Food is very bland and over priced, the £7.50 lunch deal is a lie, you cant get more than a jacket spud for that, they then tried to charge me £17 for a wrap and a gin, pretty sure the chips were mccain oven chips, staff seemed moody, drinks order was wrong which I realised they charged me for a premium version I didnt ask for, best avoided except for basic pints.

Prices were different from the menu when we ordered, told that the free drink wasn't available till 1pm which isn't stated on menu.ordered a cheese and bacon toastie with dirty fries with bacon, spring onions and BBQ sauce.food came very quickly and was a small,rock hard toasted sandwich and plain chips, had to send it back to get what I actually paid for. Staff were kind of rude and I definitely won't be coming back.

Kick out of seats that were not reserved

came in for lunch and it was a really nice vibe / atmosphere! the service was amazing and food arrived quickly and perfectly done definitely will be back soon! id definitely recommend this little pub to anyone in manchester!

Watched the football here and it was full of wrong’uns and £7.20 a pint.

Just left because the staff were so horrible. Classic barkeep machismo of the highest order

Stayed over for the a weekend in Manchester. Busy pub with a good atmosphere. Friendly attentive staff. Room was comfortable clean and the bed was comfy. Great break fast in the morning. Have booked again for Hacienda classical next year!!

If you want a real Manc pub, this is it. Visited after a Manics gig, and they were playing their music, which was great. To be honest, there were all sorts in there, but that made for a fab atmosphere. I'd definitely return.

Horrible staff , aggressive interactions. Bullies behind bar, ableist and overcharging .

Horrible experience here. Bar staff are cruel. Malicious and take pleasure in overcharging. Avoid

Staff were rude and inattentive, came for a pint and some food but left before ordering food as I was made to feel extremely unwelcome.

Tom is the best bartender I've ever met, 10/10 for vibes and service. Will definitely be back

Great venue with a wide range of food and drink options. The staff were all very accommodating and went the extra mile to ensure me and my friends all had a good time. Will deffo return.

Great atmosphere stopped off for a drink whilst going to Castlefield Bowl Manchester for the Saw Doctors.

Absolutely fine chain pub though pints are expennnnsive for the experience and choice is a bit limited

Nice traditional pub venue in the heart of castlefield. Plenty of craft ales and drink options, service was quick and pleasant even though it was busy. Will definitely be heading back at some point.

Ordered the only vegan item on the menu and was really disappointed - random ingredients in a 'bombay' burger and doritos as a side? I nearly never write negetive reviews but I regret not going to wetherspoons instead, this felt severely below average, especially for it being over £15. Table was also filthy which did not add to the appeal of the place... I don't know about other food items offered, but not a great place to be a vegan I'm afraid :(

Great pint of Asahi, friendly welcoming staff and plenty of seating to watch the Euros

Scottish lad on the bar is awful

A nice pub just off Deansgate. Had a reasonable selection of draught beers.

Waiters were amazing but the chef was shocking, heard him shouting about how he was going to close the kitchen down, he missed off a few sides that we have not been compensated for. When he was asked to bring what was paid for out he then refused. He kept storming up and down the pub snarling at people. Only reason I have put down three stars and not one was because of the waiters.

Nice couple of pints. Good choice.

Food and service very good, Pub was very quiet due to it being early on a Monday lunch time so I can't really take points of for atmosphere. Looked to be my idea of a traditional English pub, would recommend.. Location is great, right beside the Science and Industry Museum.

Good food and not pricey. Cocktails were great too. We stayed in one of the rooms and had a lovely breakfast in to morning

OK tbf for a quick beer nothing special

Me and my buddy visited the pub when we were in the area. The only thing that beats their amazing beer selection is their staff. Love from Slovenia❤️

Great selection of beer, nice atmosphere, happy staff.

We only called in for 1 drink ended up having 5 each and a meal. The food was really nice also the bar man Tom was amazing polite and friendly would definitely recommend and will return

Great atmosphere, honeslty one of the best pubs in manchester, great staff, sion and faith were both great as well as the rest of the staff

Lovely place, breakfast was lovely and hot with a good service and friendly welcome

We stayed on a Friday night - £75 for the night which was reasonable. The room comes with tea, coffee, milk ect and a kettle - the towels were fresh and the room had black out curtains. Check out is 11am which is ideal 🙌🏽 and the bar downstairs has gorgeous live music 🎵 the bar uses the mixr loyalty scheme also.

Hotel stay - lovely staff, hotel very clean and modern, no complaints there. As mentioned before, it is above the pub so it can be loud until it closes at around 11:30pm, so bare that in mind. Otherwise great stay!

Absolutely amazing place wonderful staff rooms fantastic definitely back again can’t beat it there

Only popped in for a wee. Really needed it. Lovely toilets and sink. Only spent a penny.

Stayed there in November 23. Heating went off. Rooms were good but not worth the money. 2 off the three stars are for the guy from the bar who tried to fix the heating but couldn’t succeed.

Went last night fish and chips fish brilliant chips so so. Go tonight ugh awful burnt burnt burnt

Had a great time in this pub food was one of the best pub meals I've had will be back

Lovely choice of beers across the board. Four cask ales, one cask cider, three or so keg beers, plus the usual wide selection of lagers and Guinness. Service great too. Food... pretty rubbish! I had a fish finger sandwich and it had just two fish fingers... neither of which had much fish in them. It took an age too. Just go for drinks. Great pub for that.

I've given five stars not because it's a 'fine dining' experience but because it was great at what it does which is serve great pub food at affordable prices in a clean environment with a nice range of beers all served by friendly staff. Nothing more to be said.

Ryan was an absolute delight to serve us breakfast and kept on top of our table, food was delicious, service was quick and overall a great experience

Nipped in for a quick drink on Saturday and ended up staying most of the night. The staff were really friendly and it was a lovely pub. Will definitely be back!

Visited here during a half term visit to Manchester Science Museum. Very convenient location, food okay, usual Pub classics, staff very friendly and accomodating. Located in the very historic Castlefield Basin area....the birth of Manchester since Roman times.

Magnificent place to eat after seeing the museum… highly recommended 👌

£12.50 for two pints of Madri absolute piss take. Further to add when presented with the bill before I knew it the barman had tapped the tip button on the card reader leaving no option not sure that should be allowed.

Authentic Old School Pub in Manchester.

Great pub with a really friendly atmosphere. I recommend the mango cider!!!

Good attention and everything is great. Spectacular atmosphere

Very quiet compared to the pub just up the road, the football was on but enough seats for everyone. Service with a smile and reasonably priced. We had a very pleasant hour here.

Excellent beer and courteous staff. Evidently poor planning on the catering side. I was in a party of 6. Only one could have what they requested on the menu. There had to be hastily improvising by the staff to deal with us.

I was visiting on my own to Manchester and didn’t know anyone.. I was recommended to come to the ox by a work colleague and the staff were very welcoming! The manager John made sure that I was looked after. I had drinks at the bar and was served by Jamie, Faith and Sion. They were funny and made me feel at home Definitely will be coming back!

Visited this pub on a Monday afternoon for some dinner and a drink . The burger and the lasagna that we had were well cooked and tasty . With a guinness and a larger to wash it down . The cost for meals and drinks was reasonable priced. The pub was a little old style with multiple tv's showing sky sports news . Overall, it's worth a visit if you're in the area.

Looking to bring 2 17 year olds and I’m just wondering if they are allowed in

Nice fresh and wholesome english breakfast! We stayed at the hotel above. It was a bit noisy because of the music playing in the pub, but if you are fine with that, the rooms are very clean and cozy. My recommendation for hotel and restaurant!

Often call in for breakfast when we visit m/cr on our narrowboat... Good breakfast & nice staff.

Good pub,gr8 atmosphere, £6 a pint for the privilege

Mediocre pub by numbers with completely disinterested staff.

Great drinks in relaxed atmosphere

Very average pub, loud crowd in for the football. Very average range of taps, nothing too exciting.

Great pub with delicious food and great cocktails

We were there after a football match. So I understand that they were busy. The food was good, but service slightly less we waited for one hour to get our order and some were missed. The price is not too expensive.

Nice pub with good food and good beer. Situated near crystal maze and science museum. Was having a little bit of work done so some noise but don't let that put you off. We had 2 lovely burgers and fries

Nice little pub. Service could be faster,. Tables were dirty, some more attention required there. Burgers are nice.

Endroit à fuir !!! Pas d’accueil à l’arrivée on doit passer par une appli qui ne marche pas pour commander. Finalement servit 1h20 plus tard sans avoir pris la peine de nettoyer la table pourtant en l’ayant demandé car vraiment sale ! Tout cela sans grand monde à l’intérieur. La nourriture est principalement surgelé, le burger enfant composé d’un steack et de deux bout de pain et la glace est congelée et recongelée. Le fait de payer en avance aurait dû nous mettre la puce à l’oreille!

Had a lovely evening here when going to a gig at the AO Arena. Room was comfy, staff were super helpful and welcoming, great selection of drinks and breakfast was quick and really tasty. They're also really well situated, dead handy for everything in the city but still nicely quiet and relaxed. My wife and I are already talking about going back.

Honestly it ticks all the boxes for me, a decent choice of beer/ales, great food options and best of all, a friendly big TV Saturday afternoon atmosphere to enjoy and catch up with friends.

Have to say I'm not usually one for leaving negative reviews in general, but sometimes you have to for things to improve. I booked for myself and 2 friends to go for Sunday Lunch as I had been here before years ago and it used to be amazing. I read the other reviews online before booking, however I have worked in hospitality and customer service all my life, so I know people have a tendancy to shout it from the rooftops and tell everyone when they've a bad experience but not enough people speak up when they've had a good experience. Even though I was a bit dubious because of some of the reviews I thought I would still give them the benefit of the doubt and try it for myself and I'm sad to say it, but I have to agree 100% with some of the other not so great reviews. 3 of us ordered at the same time for the same table number however one of us got our food 10 minutes before the other two. The food was cold so I had to send it back to be put in the microwave & even then I had still pretty much finished my food before the others got theirs and it wasn't because it was busy. It was quiet. There was no-one else in eating. The vegetables were soggy like they had been chopped, frozen and then microwaved, the roast potatoes weren't proper roasties, just peeled and chopped potatoes that had been shoved in the deep fat fryer & the mash was dried up in a lump and not very nice. Such a shame as this used to be a great place for Sunday lunch going back a few years & I was hoping to find a new local. It was so disappointing for what we paid, especially when you have places like The Banyan Tree and Three Little Words nearby that both do a fantastic Sunday lunch with everything prepared fresh for pretty much the same price.

Pub empty and waited 1.5 hours for food. No feedback after asking. Don’t bother.

Lovely pub with very nice staff and great food. Atmosphere is superb, I'd love to see you guys again, thank for letting us have great times here!

Perfect spot for a lunch in the city center ✨

Had an overnight break in Manchester. Booked The Oxnoble because it seemed to have relatively good reviews at a glance. Dissapointing is abit of an understatement given the price point and in comparison to other places we have stayed within the same price range. To start with, the room looked really tired. Stank of smoke which was really off putting. Staff didnt show you to the room just gave us a key and sent us on our way. We were met with broken door handles, extractor fan to bathroom didn't work, wobbly toilet seat, shower barely fixed to the wall, blocked sink. Door threshold not fixed down, major trip hazard. Really weird poster fixed to the wall on a tatty piece of plywood - bit random -totally out of place. We booked a double and got 2 singles which wasn't a major issue. However, when we got back to the room after dinner the TV didn't work - the ariel cable at the back was broken and had no channels tuned in which was really frustrating. Added to this the WiFi was rubbish and couldn't connect - so no Netflix or other streaming services! We were worried about breakfast given the bad reviews. It was mediocre at best. Dirty tables that hadn't been cleaned from the night before. Everything just looked tired and a bit grim. Ordered breakfast at the bar, as no cereal, juices, tea or coffee were laid out for guests. Ordered a latte and the coffee machine was broken. Really poor when compared with what else is out there! Big dissapointment I'm afraid. Great location but leaves alot to be desired!

We waited for nearly an hour for food and another 15mins at the bar for drinks we had to be somewhere at 7pm and was worried we would not make it waiting for food.

Great pub, dog friendly 👌 👍 Food was nice, had a sharing plater Staff friendly too and they've got sport on tvs 📺

Called in at the Ox yesterday. Not been for a while but just as good as ever. Staff really polite and friendly, good food and good beer. Atmosphere superb with good crowd in. Recommended. If you've had a visit to MOSI, finish off with a trip to the Ox.

Beers taste good and the ambiance is great!

Standard pub grub but served fast and by patient and friendly staff

Really friendly welcoming pub. All of the staff are great and the pub has a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. It’s become our local!

Booked for lunch via the website but no record of it found upon arrival. A table was found for us easy enough (luckily it wasn't busy) but it was still sticky and covered in crumbs/debris from whoever was there last so we had to ask for it to be cleaned. Spent 10mins downloading the payment app and inputting our orders but met with an ERROR when trying to checkout. The app wasn't the best anyway with 2 identical looking but actually different 'Food' sections. Poor, confused design. So we went old-skool and tried to order at the bar to be told there were no battered fish or goujons on the kids menu (pretty much half the selection). The decision to go elsewhere that wasn't a pain in the @rse was really very easy. The place seems alright if you just want drinks and the football on 3ft from your face.

Cute compact pub, good service from the barstaff, good knowledge of their beers and the local area. Very good atmosphere

The heart of the place is the staff! Welcoming, accommodating, polite. The room was clean, the bed was comfy and the only noise we heard was from the road. Breakfast and lunch were good and so were my cocktails! I would stay there again!

Terrible food. Had to wait 30 minutes when the place was pretty much empty. Shame. Came here for Sunday lunch about ten years ago and it was pretty good. Really gone down hill. Couple opposite we’re waiting 40 minutes and turned their food away for a refund when it turned up. We had two young kids who needed to eat so they had theirs (pretty terrible chicken nuggets and burnt chips) but my wife (Sunday roast beef) and I (beef pie with mash) left most of ours. The mash was lumpy with a rubbery consistency totally inedible. If you’re a chef and you can’t make mash potato, you shouldn’t be a chef. Sack the chef and try to return this place to its former glory.

Bad food, expensive. The average rating needs to go down on this place. 4.2 (at time of writing) is insane.
