WOW! The guy calls himself a ‘landlord’! How polite we addressed the subject of being served raw chips and off prawns, yet he was IMMEDIATELY on the defence. His reaction was totally uncalled for and laughed at each response to his questions. So very unprofessional and then decided it was ok to come from behind the bar to confront us with his finger in our face just because we had what was initially a trivial complaint. Speechless! Appalling food - nothing has changed since a few years back there! And unprofessional cooks, supervisor & manager. Will NOT be returning! The place is in dior need of a higher level staff revamp, and we’re not the first to have said that!

Another mistake at the Roebuck (Urmston) - thought we would give it another visit on my Birthday just before Christmas 2023 for lunch. The place less than quarter full, so a quick service expected, wrong - waited 60 mins from arriving to being served (excuse that they were very busy, short staffed ???). Food:- fish and chips ok, with Manchester caviar?? (turns-out to be 'mushy peas') - £13.95 My 'featherblade' braised steak consisted of a large amount of mashed potato, a few peas and a small piece of the said 'meat'/gravy - for £17.95, very disappointed and very expensive 'mashed potato'. We called the manager to explain our concerns over the tiny portion of 'braised steak' and his reply was to give a 15% discount and again said that staff shortages and being busy, blah, blah, blah were the 'problem' ??? (busy?) I have given a few reviews on the Roebuck over the years and it has not progressd/improved in our opinion and - thankfully, Urmston now has lots of better options for food and drink with much better value. Sorry Joseph Holts, not a great experience again.

10 of us Went for my mums 90 th birthday celebration. My nephew had to send his meal back as it wasn’t what he ordered. 2 meals were missed off the order because the member of staff forgot that they were on a second page of her pad The beef on the hanging kebabs was tough. My daughters Lamb hanging kebab fell off on the way to the table and wasn’t replace even though the member of staff picked it up and returned it to the kitchen. My grandsons meal wasn’t anything like we ordered. We took a birthday cake and they couldn’t light the candles as they couldn’t find a lighter. Not a pleasant experience and don’t think we will be going back.

Food was great, service excellent Unfortunately 2 months down the line I received a parking fine for having the audacity to park my car in the pub car park and for me not to realise that this pub charges their customers for the privilege. I’ve parked in hundreds of pubs in my life and never ever paid because I’m the customer and I’m baffled why a pub would want to that, what a rip off !! Don’t go there if you don’t want to fleeced before you’ve even stepped foot inside

Visited today for a drink on our walk home. We only stopped for a couple of pints and I normally wouldn’t bother writing a review but I was utterly shocked at the staff behaviour. Unfriendly when we went in and our drinks were so flat but we didn’t bother complaining as we didn’t expect anything although a smile would be nice. I was more in shock at the way that what I can presume was the manager was behaving. Firstly I was walking in front of him and he must’ve been in a hurry and instead of politely asking to get past he was huffing and puffing trying to barge past me and did so in an aggressive way. I then overheard him speaking to a couple who were wanting to order food. He was completely disrespectful to paying customers telling them it was their fault they had to wait to order because they were the ones who rang up to book in late and he had other customers to prioritise. If he had explained this in a kind way, I think it would’ve been okay but I was truly in shock at the manner and rude way he disregarded the customers questions. Making out like they were in the wrong for ringing to make a last minute booking instead of an advanced reservation. So rude, I definitely wouldn’t be tempted to stop again for a drink let alone food. Why work around people if you’re going to treat them so badly - get a job behind a computer or learn to at least be polite !!!!

Visited the Roebuck for the first time with my partner 2 boys and 1 year old baby for Sunday dinner. The food was incredible one of the best roasts I have had in a long time the beef was perfectly cooked and the dessert (Sticky Toffee Pudding) was like a slice of heaven. The staff are super friendly and attentive, they were also amazing at catering to the needs of our 1 year old who is dairy free. Will 100% be going back more often for food. For the reviews about the parking all I can say is it says you need to validate parking when you walk in and the staff also made a point of asking had we driven so we could validate parking.

Visited the Roebuck at 8.30 pm on the 30th. March 2023. Left at 9.03 pm on the 30th March 2023. A dark cold evening. Bought a pint of lager, and a pint of lime and soda - cost about £108. Pleas look carefully at the lovely picture of the Roebuck Can you see any signs relating to parking? The signs that are there now, state that the carpark is for the use of Roebuck customers. (That is if you can spot them on a dark March evening.) Also claim in smaller writing that a tablet (s) is providing for entering vehicle detail. (Usual egg hunt) for the unsuspecting customers. (no tablet provided. What a racket - poor show from a much respected, well established Manchester Company. Wake up Holt's - don't you need customers any more?

I had a sit down meal for 35 people in the function room at The Roebuck. It was a brilliant evening. When I first went in to look at the room, Chris the manager was really helpful. When I booked the room they were great. Karen gave me lots of help to make sure everything was arranged how I wanted it and she dressed the room for me with table and chair covers to give it a lovely finish. On the night the whole team were great. A sit down meal for 35 from the full menu was served all correctly and everyone enjoyed the food. I also has a magician as an entertainer in the room as I had a large number of children and the space worked perfectly for this. Its a lovely function room. Perfect venue for my 40th and a team that go above and beyond to ensure all guests are happy.

Went here for a family lunch and the pub is well presented , nice and clean and tidy and well spaced out, but you have to register your car at the bar if your parked in the car park ? fair enough. There is a good selection on the menu with plenty to choose from, two family members had the steak & ale pie and it was a very big pie, both of them could not eat it all. Mrs W had the all day breakfast , I tried a portion of the sausage & black pudding and both were very nice, I had the rump steak and it was overcooked and therefore very dry, no juices , no flavour. The peppercorn sauce was well tasty but not enough of it. The service was very good up until this point when after about 20 minutes of being ignored our finished meals & plates had still not been cleared and we had to ask for them to be removed. We were going to order desserts & tea or coffee but wondered how long that would take so gave it a miss. Pity really as upto that point its was not a bad dining experience.

Came in for a late lunch. Greeted by a lovely lady called Karen. Ordered a drink from the bar and went to sit down. Sat in the restaurant area and was given time to browse the menu before a lovely young lady called Shaunna came over to take the order. Within 20 mins the order came and was amazing and presented lovely..the food was hot and delicious. Plates were cleared and Karen ensured everything was okay and asked if we would like more drinks. Ordered a dessert and that was insane... the Nutella brownie and cookie dough tart with ice cream. Came and was presented lovely. Overall a lovely experience and delicious lunch. Thank you

Met friends for coffee to discuss re-opening our local Women's Probus group. Biscuits were provided with the tea and coffee. I am coeliac, so asked for gluten-free biscuits or cakes, and was told they had none. So I paid the same as others for morning coffee but without biscuits. Staff said I could have had a GF meal at lunchtime, but I was amazed and annoyed that coeliacs were not catered for before lunchtime.

La comida tardó 35 minutos desde que se ordenó cuando llegó, tuve que pedir cubiertos tan molesto cuando eso sucede, la parrillada mixta no tenía huevo, ni aros de cebolla y ningún tomate, solo se informó sobre la escasez de tomate al realizar el pedido. debido a un problema de refrigeración la noche anterior, aunque los huevos no necesitan refrigerarse y hay una ventanilla única a dos minutos a pie. El bistec mediano pedido fue incinerado al igual que el pollo y el jamón y, por desgracia, ningún huevo para proporcionar ningún tipo de humedad esperaba que la salsa de pimienta pudiera ayudar, pero era demasiado espeso y no lo suficiente. Me ofrecieron una comida de reemplazo, pero me informaron que serían diez minutos, momento en el que habría estado comiendo solo Me dieron un reembolso por la parrillada mixta, pero preferiría haberla cocinado correctamente si no tiene tres de los los elementos de un plato pueden sustituirlos o eliminarlos del menú y volver a capacitar al asador también. El resto de la comida estaba bien, muchos lugares en M 41 hacen comida mucho mejor estos días.

Hemos estado en el Roe Buck muchas veces y siempre he tenido una buena experiencia.Lamentablemente ayer fue una enorme decepción.Para mi comida, elegí la lubina frita con papas trituradas.Cuando llegó, se completó con un huevo escalfado y salsa holandesa.Cuando corté el huevo estaba muy poco cocido y básicamente un desastre mocoso.Se lo devolví a la camarera que lo llevó de vuelta a la cocina. Ella volvió a decir: "El chef dice que cree que está cocinado, ¿tiene preferencia de cómo quiere que se haga de nuevo?".Me sorprendió y si él piensa que está cocinado, no quiero otro, quítelo y déjelo.El plato regresó y comencé a comer para encontrar que la salsa holandesa era como tomar una cucharada de margarina directamente de la bañera, estaba enferma.Teniendo en cuenta las comidas anteriores, de las cuales he elogiado, fue una gran decepción.Me pregunto si el chef ha cambiado, en cualquier caso, debe abordarse.

Probé un nuevo plato en el menú, ensalada de brocheta de halloumi, y no me decepcionó en lo más mínimo. Fue maravilloso! No podría haber elegido una mejor comida en ningún lado.

Mi esposa y yo volvimos a visitar esta noche después de no haberlo visitado durante 3 meses, para ver si ha mejorado. Bueno, mi esposa pidió el 'pastel de bistec y ale', que estaba bien (9, 80). Ordené el kebab de filete. (10. 75) (med / raro) que llegó 'bien hecho' (duro) con chips fríos / grasientos - Chris (gerente) aceptó no como se ordenó y reemplazó (30 minutos más tarde) para cuando mi esposa había terminado su comida - mi comida de reemplazo llegó de nuevo 'bien hecha' (dura) chips calientes / ok. Chris (gerente) estuvo de acuerdo en que mi comida no era med / rara y me sugirió que obtuviera un reembolso o que eligiera otra comida. Solicité un reembolso por mi comida y para ser justos, nos dieron una botella de vino de la casa como una disculpa.

Called in to take my mother for dinner, the roebuck wasn't particularly busy however after waiting for over 15 minutes just to get a drink with only one girl serving, food orders were taking preference. She finished serving one couple to then start serving another couple whom had just come to the bar. I called over not being overly impressed to be told rudely that they were together and that we would have to wait. At this point we had waited for over 20 minutes and in the end decided that the roebuck waa not for us and quite frankly never will be again.

If you wanna find a venue for couples or families and expect good heart pub food then I'd recommend the Robuck. It is a pain parking cause there's only limited spaces but it's worth going to. It was my uncles birthday and we've been coming here for at least 2 years. It's a nice open spaced venue, respectable but not too posh that you feel uncomfortable if you get me? Smart casual dress code! Drinks are pretty cheap (alcohol and non). Food is quite good price wise too, they have a deal on certain things 2 for £10 I think.. I ordered the 8oz rump steak and my god, it was to die for. Succulent medium rare, generously sized steak with mushrooms, nice thick cut crispy chips and a salad. It was £13 something if I remember correctly and the only thing I was quite annoyed at was ordering Peper corn sauce (which you normally get with a steak and them charging £1.50 on top).

booked to eat here 8pm on Saturday evening , only one table occupied with two people , later a small group came in to dine but that was it all evening . Pub area was virtually empty . Amazed as this was always such a busy pub/restaurant . Came a few months ago and it was packed on a Saturday evening . Tables not cleared and glasses left on table in restaurant side . 2 staff sat down doing paperwork , totally ignored us on arrival even though we 'd booked a table . went to the bar , no one on at the bar either . eventually shown our table and ordered food at the bar . Feel that the restaurant side should still have order taken at the table .we ordered hanging kebabs but no hanging kebabs were available ( no steak , chicken or halloumi kebabs ) no chicken kiev either . we all had burgers which were ok. No salt pot on table . tomato sauce brought in the bottle to the table . throughout our meal a waitress was sat on the next table filling up sauce bottles and banging these on the table not a very calming environment . No atmosphere in there at all .No real service apart from bringing the meals to the table . we weren't asked if meal was ok or if we wanted any desserts . Landlady/landlord didn't seem to be downstairs overseeeing at all .We now know why the restaurant was so empty . We won't be returning .

¿Vasos y platos en las mesas de 17:00 a 22:15, recogidos 5 horas y 15 minutos después? ! Sábado entre la inmundicia. El personal del bar está demasiado ocupado en la parte posterior de sus teléfonos. El personal del bar que está en el hotel prefiere servir el lado del restaurante. La casera rara vez se ve. El personal se sentó en la esquina en sus descansos comiendo comida para llevar al otro lado de la calle, no dice mucho sobre la comida si su personal no quiere comerla. Lo suficientemente justo si quieren una comida para llevar, pero tal vez coman en la parte de atrás en lugar de entre los clientes.

I hadn't been to The Roebuck for a long time. Not because of its atmosphere or ales , just geography. I met up with some old friends whom I've not seen for a long time as well. We walked into laughter , chatter & a warm welcome. The football was on so we settled down to watch that & catch up. Looking to the dining area that was also busy. Good sign. I'm used to Holt's beers as my local is also a Holt's pub. Nice real ales. Manchester ale. People were friendly & chatty towards us. My kind of pub. I'll be back for sure

Mainly British food here although the menu is pretty extensive ,including Vegetarian . The Roebuck can host large parties and has a large function room upstairs . I have dined here before on occasion. Although very busy with pre-Christmas dinners when we arrived, we were found a table and could order a lunch which we did not have to wait overly long for .The only slight fault with my vegatarian lasagne was that it was a rather on the dry side . I am sure that on a usual day this would not have been the case, it may have been because the day was extremely busy in serving Christmas dinners ,even so it was very tasty, and the staff were very nice .I will be making a return visit very soon.

Assistant manager was extremely rude. I was being served by a young lady and asked to set up a tab. I have done this for the last 5 years or so with no problem. He was stood at the bar not working and asked the young lady what she was doing. He then said you can't have a tab unless you are ordering food. I hadn't made my mind up if we were eating or not. He then said we have had to many walk outs to which as a long standing customer who he knew was insulting. I then found out that another customer who wasn't eating was allowed a tab. If this is how a long standing customer is treated God help anybody new. On saying about walk outs he was a friend on FB and has my mobile number so I was never not going to pay.

We won’t be visiting again. We are local to the ROEBUCK and sad to say, we have been disappointed the last 3 times ( in 3 years) we have visited. On this occasion we thought we’d give it one last chance and wish we hadn’t bothered. We waited an hour from our order to our food being delivered. We had two young children with us aged 3 and 4 and by the time the food arrived they were very hungry an decidedly tetchy. My gammon steak was mostly fat, and my husbands ‘hanging kebab’ steak was over cooked. The restaurant was extremely busy and very understaffed. We ordered dessert - ( Why not - the girls were nearly asleep by now). We ordered a vanilla ice cream, and 3 caramel and Maltese sundaes. The ice cream arrived first. 10 minutes later we saw a waitress wandering around the restaurant with a Maltese sundae. By the time it arrived it was sloppy and melted. 10 minutes later, the same lady came up to our table and asked if we’d ordered more. We told her that we expected two more and she said they were just being made. 10 minutes later they arrived. Service sloppy, food not up to standard, timing atrocious. Never again

Vine aquí anoche con mi novio, pedí un domingo asado que solo pido para los pudines de Yorkshire, pero cuando salió dijeron 'por cierto no tenemos pudines de Yorkshire así que puedes tener unas patatas más', que es un servicio pobre, ya que se espera que te informen si no tienen un elemento en el menú, también había un poco de salsa solo en la carne nada más y la verdura estaba fría y bastante dura. También pedimos la hamburguesa de mi novio completamente simple pero vino con ensalada de col cubierta por todo. Así que pedimos nuevas comidas, las batatas fritas eran negro quemado a un crujiente, el bistec no estaba preparado adecuadamente. La mesa al lado de nosotros también envió 2 de sus comidas debido a que no se cocinaron adecuadamente. Al quejarse, el personal fue muy sarcástico y molesto, no se disculparon una vez, simplemente nos hicieron comentarios sarcásticos. Nunca volveré aquí, terrible comida terrible servicio.

Debo de haber pasado este lugar mil veces y nunca pensé en ir en como solía tener una reputación de ser un poco peligroso. Así que equivocado estaba. Mi esposa y yo decidimos llamar a almorzar hoy (3 / 8 / 2018) ya había oído que había cambiado de manos que buena decisión fue. El pub estaba lleno pero puede acomodar un montón de clientes y el ambiente era muy bueno, lo que me parece que es generado por el personal, atento y trabajar muy bien en equipo. Tuve el bistec con cebolla, pimientos baguette con queso y mi esposa la carne kebab. No puedo recomendar lo suficiente la comida era excelente y bien de precio.

We were greeted straight away and said we could sit anywhere. We chose the dining area through the back which overlooked the patio and bowling green. We received quick,friendly service with super meals at reasonable prices.

Visitamos aquí con un grupo de 16 que fue reservada para mis hijos 30 cumpleaños. La comida estaba reservado para las 4:00 pm. Después de sentarse en la mesa por un tiempo nos dijeron que pedir en el bar - como había varias parejas diferentes en el grupo preguntamos si deberíamos pedir como uno o si podíamos pagar por separado la orden. Nos dijeron que podíamos pedir por separado, pero todos se sirven en el mismo tiempo. 2 miembro de nuestro grupo ordenados colgando kebabs y nos dijeron que había una demora de 45 minutos en estas, así que le dije que no traer el resto de las comidas, ya que no quieren esperar el kebabs.

I took my son here for a birthday meal out. After struggling to decide what to choose because of the all the lovely options we both decided we'd have the cheese and onion pie with chips and beans. This is the place to go if you feel some places are mean with their portions. We both struggled to eat it all. In fact we had no room left for dessert The melted cheese and onion just oozed out of the beautiful thin pastry. It even came with a side portion of cheese sauce. Will definitely be going again. Can't wait to work my way through the menu.

Had a meal booked at 3pm on Saturday turned up all shut in darkness. A bloke turned up who happened be a chef for these ppl asked at 10am too do a shift he waited for over an hour outside with myself my partner and other waiting customers. He could get hold of the owners let allow management until a call came around 4:30pm saying no one turning up too open!! Too add there was an 11gallon barrel of beer and a big box of vacuum packed meat defrosting outside the place!! Think this place has died it’s death!!
