Sam Brooks in Trafford

Ttiinnyy bit expensive and dessert portion are small but everything else deserved a top marks

New menu. Great service. 6 Friends had a great evening. Thanks

The food was good and so was the service, and best of all 20% off the bill for the month of Octiber!

On behalf of my family, I would like to thank Kev and his staff for the buffet and service they provided last Monday after Mum's funeral. The buffet was lovely and nothing was too much trouble for them. They made a difficult day easier to bear. Thank you. Linda and Kenny Ramsbottom

Very dissapointing, went here for a change and lady at the till was rude and made me feel uncomfortable, I said I wanted to change my drink as I dont like that one and she refused as she ‘already poured it’. Usually at pubs from my bar experience if the customer isnt happy its basic courtesy to change it. Hopefully this changes in the future, didnt catch her name but she had black hair worked on the bar on 19th September at 2:30pm.

Friendly staff and food good value for money.The interior has been updated.

nice little pub but i will say that as its my local lol, nice food a lovely guiness

Always loved the food here but the past couple of times very disappointing. Had the Sunday roast vegetables were almost raw roast potatoes not roasted were anemic and hard. Gravy tasteless. This always used to be wonderful I'm thinking a different crew of chefs cooks

A very happening pub. The staff are so lovely and hospitable. Can't praise them enough. We were a couple of friends who caught up for dinner. As we were so engrossed in chatting that couldn't click many pictures.

I needed a poo really badly in between clients. I of course bought a drink, I'm not an animal. Bar lady was very nice. Customers are all a bit UKIP like, maybe give it a swerve if you aren't white. Not terrible, toilets good, may well visit again when swerving traffic on the a56 after eating 4 scotch bonnet the night before

The nicest food for a pub lunch in Sale. The burgers are amazing. Would highly recommend. Really friendly pub with great service.

Like 🍺, it is a good palace! 👍 Happy together!

Great pub, great views. Be great if it lasts... it never lasts

Foods really good staff arefriendly and the atmosphere is nice and relaxed my kids love the food from there too and there strawberry Eton is lush honestly to die for 🤤😋🙂

Friendly staff, plenty of tvs to watch City on. Great , plentiful food

Recently refurbished and with a new menu. The food remains reasonably priced. Good choice of beers and other drinks.

We have been twice now to Sam Brook's bar and eaten lunch both times. I have to say, the food is really good and scrumptious. You get generous servings / portions too. It's freshly cooked and very tasty indeed. The staff were friendly and catered for our alternative substitutes, eg sauces, nothing was too much trouble. Prices are middle of the road, not too dear, especially as the portion sizes are generous. There is wheelchair access and there are highchairs for children. Did not use the toilet facilities but as the rest of the pub & restaurant is clean I am sure they will be too. Good range of drinks at the bar, including hot drinks, eg, coffee, teas and hot chocolate. Will go again.

I have been a couple of Saturday nights 1 was quiet the other busy. Both times the food was excellent and the service was good could have been a little quicker thing the order at the bar but I would definitely go again.

Had a lovely Christmas meal here, cannot fault the service or atmosphere. I eat here regularly and I've never had a bad meal. Staff are always very pleasant and friendly especially the landlord Kevin who always goes out of his way to make you feel welcome.

Kevin and his staff are always friendly and happy to help. Every meal I've had has alway been delicious and well worth the money. The chef & kitchen staff have always been happy to amend any of the dishes I ordered without any issues. Would highly recommend visiting this pub. Quiz night on Thursdays is always a fun night and the bingo on a Sunday night is also worth a try. Always a great atmosphere everytime I have visited.

Not been here for years, went yesterday for food, staff helpful and polite. Was told a short wait for food as 1 chef on, wait wasn't to long for our food. Food tasted nice and a good price. Will be back to taste more of the menu

Christmas Dinner today was ok No mash potato No Yorkshire pudding. Brussels Sprouts were rock hard.and Some very pequliar Sprinkles on top. Dessert was tiny. Service was good. food was out in a timely manner. What we found really Strange after sitting down at 14.30. Was then to be told that the bar was Closed at 1500hrs. With absolutely no pre-warning. One rude staff member Said that she had to get home for her Christmas Dinner. Lets Just hope she had an Alcohol Drink with her meal. Yours Sincerely Support worker Les Visiting with Clients on a twelve hour Shift.

Absolute disgrace, the young girl behind the bar with the glasses on was so bloody rude, we ordered our drinks they weren’t handed to us, I had to ask another punter to pass it over, she then poured another drink and gave it to another customer and left us stood at the bar for 15 minutes. When questioned about it she slowed down and said you can just wait till I’m ready. Will not be returning. Shocking staff member.

Food is great, portion sizing where other companies seem to be reducing this company seem to enjoy giving the bigger portion size. Always hot, tasty, and served with a smile from any of the staff working here.

Very poor food infact treble its was not nice at all

Enjoyed a wonderful Sunday lunch slightly disappointed with the bar service. Only 1 server & football on

Very nice pub with quite good variety of drinks and food. There is a pool table and live sports with enough parking for atleast 20 cars. We had some of the ckn starters and savouries. They were all quite good. The buffalo wings were quite spicy which was a surprise!!!

Very good meal deal . 12 pounds for two meals.

Been in the Sam Brooks a few times now for a meal and drinks and a few games of pool. Lovely pub, staff and atmosphere

Always a great place to eat with family at a reasonable price

Good local pub, good choice of food and great Sunday lunch, also area with TV showing sports

Found a space in Car park easily. Family friendly place. Excellent food served in good time. Very spacious and tables well set out. Next time we go out for a meal will sure to return again.

Fabulous pub went here for my birthday the food was amazing and the staff were brilliant

Went for a family meal to celebrate my sisters 21st birthday. Staff were friendly and helpful. There was great atmosphere and we all enjoyed our food. Would highly recommend.

I have visited this pub on many occasions when I am in Sale. The food and beer are excellent and the staff are always friendly and welcoming.

Great place but absolutely food let it down I orderd a Sunday dinner it was fresh the roast potatoes felt like they was made a week before and warmed up cooled down a million times so dry disgusting then I tried the meat omg dry again and chewed on it for ages only thing that was ok was the gravey I did complain and they swopped it for a free desert 'I'm only writing this as its nice atmosphere and nice staff and I'd like that pub to serve better food as I'm traveling out of sale now for my Sunday dinners amd this pub would b perfect...

a. lovely friendly pub. good food, good value. a weekly quiz and occasional entertainment

Popped in for a family tea, just 5 of us on a Tuesday night. Food was delicious, hot and well presented. Staff lovely and welcoming. Thanks Sam Brooks, will be back.

Went for friends Birthday.Had sweet and sour chicken.Very nice.First time there but would go again with my husband.

Enjoyed a very nicely cooked meal here. Value for money.

Good quality food and excellent atmosphere

A nice cosy pub with great food.

Craig made us feel really valued …clearly has top person skills …( not seen him here b4) had starters and mains … well presented and prices are value for money … much better than Mersey farm where we used to go till this place opened … thanks Craig and all the staff for top service and top food … coming for Sunday lunch it’s only £15 for 2

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch, food very good and hot ,staff are always very polite and helpful

We had the steak and the chicken pie steak was cooked well and as we had ordered and the chicken pie was nice

Good value food two for12 quid drink selection OK as well

Great to see urmey and friends pity about utd

One star for the light and comfortable atmosphere....I only have criticism for the food I endured at this establishment. Waited 24 mins for 4 dishes. (2 x) Hunters chicken was so SO dry and overcooked. My chicken pie had a minimal dashing of "filling" and the entire pastry was (biscuit) hard and crumbly. The best one was the fist sized burger.....no complaints there. Maybe the chef had an off day, but I won't be going back again to see if s/he woke up on the right side of the bed.

If you want to wait over an hour for food without explanation or apology, then this is the place. When food did (finally) arrive it was incorrect. Rude barman. Avoid!!!!

A very tasty lunchtime stop off. Friendly staff, good quality beer.

Came in for a Sunday roast, place was heaving but staff were still able to be friendly and attentive. The roasts are beautiful and great value for money, will definitely be back again soon

Had a great Friday night with friends, food was exceptional, service and staff were all amazing.. thanks for a great night be back again soon..

Great selection of ales. Really enjoyed the malt division. Good hydes pub

Food is to die for! Kev is an amazing manager and always goes the extra mile for us. Thank you

Great atmosphere. We really enjoyed it here, the staff were so friendly. I got the the mixed grill and asked for the steak medium rare. Came out spot on. Nice bitter shandy to wash it down. Over all great experience, we will be back.

Came in for Easter weekend and roast dinners were lovely.Staff were attentive and nice atmosphere

Last time I've been here it was horrible. What seems to be the employee's or owner's kids constantly running around, playing ball and screaming inside the restaurant. It was highly annoying if you're trying to have a nice meal and have to be concerned that a ball will land on your table or they run into your table. They were constantly running into the kitchen area. Edit: I just want to point out that not "kids in general" are the issue here. kids running around in the _staff only_ area and throwing balls around _inside_ the restaurant is my issue.

When you walk into the venue it’s a really lovely atmosphere full of families and refreshing to see a local pub so busy. However, this did not mimic our overall experience. As we were a party of 10+, the policy is to provide a preorder, which is accommodated. But, we then proceeded to wait an hour and a half for the food, with one family member waiting 2 hours! Defeating the hard work of collecting the preorder beforehand. The ‘Surf N Turf’ was asked for as a medium rare however came well done. We sent it back and waited another 15 minutes for the steak to caome back rare. In addition, the All Day Breaktast states sausages and eggs (plural) but only one of each provided. I asked to speak to the manager, who reluctantly came over after around 45 minutes after asking to speak to him. He was accommodating and said he would do his best for us when it came to paying the bill with removing food which wasn't pleasant and other discounts. However, this did not compensate for the overall experience we had here and are very disappointed and upset with the service we recieved. This was for a birthday tea and were all left deflated and still hungry. Do not recommend!

Went today for lunch arrived about 1 30pm food was fab staff very helpful thanks to you all for a nice afternoon

Went for mother's day yesterday. Beef Sunday roast . The food was delicious and the service great

A fabulous pub! The staff are always so welcoming and hard working. The pub itself has had a refurb over the years, and it looks lovely. They've done a great job. Weekends can get busy, so it may be worth booking a table. They have 2 roasts on for £12 and they also have 2 main meals on the selected menu for £10 which is a bargain! The food is always lovely here and there's always a welcoming vibe from everyone. I've added some photos from when we arrived early. They also do mid week offers on the drinks. There's a pool table and dart board too. Hubby loves the sams mega mixed grill. I would recommend :)

Had an absolutely delicious hunters chicken here last week, 10/10, will definitely go back. 👍

Superb friendly customer service by brian, food was well presented, hot and delicious, definitely be back

It is decent food at a decent price. Staff are nice, friendly and good at what they do. The new decor is very well done, good improvement.

Always a pleasure visiting this place

Friendly staff and good selection of food

Food was really fresh and well cooked and presented, hats off the the chef Bar staff really nice

Been previously and had a really great meal. Recent visit was a huge disappointment. We went midweek and when it was not busy. Got a simple food order wrong and food was dry.

It's the second time I've been, first time I gave it a four, This time it is a generous two. We had the mix grill on both occasions, but after this one I wouldn't buy it again. We got of to a bad start as the staff totally confused the order up. We got there eventually, but the last thing I said was please make sure they don't put a egg on my plate, Sure enough they did so I ended up swapping food with my wife. The food was dry and over cooked, the chips weren't edible and the pepper saucewas like water. Cut the story short the gammon was the only thing worth eating. I gave it a two because the starter, garlic cheese ciabatta was nice. The staff this time was also a massive let down, first time they were great. They kept popping over to make sure everything was OK, they couldn't do enough for you. For which we gave them a good tip. This time they didn't even come back once to see if everything was OK, they were to busy talking at the bar.

Beautiful Sunday roast. Best I’ve had for a long long time. Thanks.

Every time I go up to Manchester we call in it's lovely and the food is really good

Good standard of food and surroundings. No table service.

Lovely food and a lovely atmosphere.

Would give it zero stars if possible. Not busy at all but even after 80min waiting for the food to come out i left. Some customers waiting longer than me, any that managed to get food complained. To to it off, I had the privilege of listening to the staff in the kitchen staff shouting and swearing at each other from the dining area. Never again

Just had a full revamp friendly place, food looks decent

The service and food was great. Would definitely recommend 👌🏾

Food was great but the service was very poor. Waiters/waitresses not even looking at our table and repeatedly had to be asked to serve us. It wasn't even that busy. Won't be returning in a hurry which is a shame as it was a family meal for a birthday

Food is super cheap. The moretti was basically flat. Outside seating is decent.

Walked in and walked out - the chairs were stained and had crisis in the corners

Disappointed this time. Has always been great value but this time portion size was very very poor. Breaded mushrooms starter were tiny, almost marrowfat pea size mushrooms. Half rack of ribs were the smallest I've ever seen and my banoffee pie dessert was gone in one mouthful it was that small. However the steak with my ribs combo was amazing and as usual the staff were really helpful, polite and friendly which is why I didn't complain to them. £60 for two wasn't cheap either only had three drinks between us. It was a new menu so bit concerned this will now be the norm as we've been going there for over 30 years since it was just a pub.

What a experience had my daughters 40th birthday today food was unbelievable staff amazing perfect so welcoming not one fault with anything would recommend to anyone who wants a family get-together xxxxx

Great tasty food, excellent portion and affordable price! Excellent service too !

Good service and excellent food. Will be back!!

my friend tom eats out samuel brooks every day and he loves it

Nice staff, good food, but the night we went service was very slow. Possibly not enough staff.

The food was ok, but not a good as we'd expecting after reading some reviews. We ordered 2 for £12 on Sunday roasts; asked for double meat and received what I'd normally say is a child size portion. One slice of beef, a tablespoon of swede mash, 3 yes 3 green beans, 2 toast potatoes and 3 parsnips. The homemade Yorkshire pudding was the best part. £6 each was worth the price, but I'd never pay the full £9.95 each. 3 stars as the staff were really nice 👍

Superb!!! Really tasty Lasagne and great prices

Friendly and welcoming. Great staff and a nice atmosphere..Food was good too.

Very nice snd friendly pub and the food is also lovely i recommend it to anyone

Friendly happy staff amazing service food great would highly recommend I will definitely return

Weve Just had tea, lasagne, chilli, absolutely gorgeous, thank you 😊 food in here always superb xx

Very very enjoyable Christmas and New Year. So many thanks to Kevin and all the staff xxx

Been here many times with family, lovely food and great prices too.

Went with" older-ladies" group and we were treated with respect and had good hot food with great service without costing a silly price. But don't go telling everyone cos' they may have no room next time !

Following the funeral of a family friend, we called in here for an evening meal. (5 adults and 2 children), We were looked after by the landlady (Gemma), who was most attentive and very friendly. The choice of food was good and all meals were excellent, and produced very quickly. We would recommend the 'Samuel Brooks', and will definitely call again in the future. Many thanks !!! (Ernest and Merryl - and other family members).

Top bar can't fault it great staff

Nice meal, crispy chicken wrap with side of fries and diet Pepsi. Very reasonably priced. Lovely friendly service, especially with a 2 year old wanting to be active! Nice and clean .

Visited Tuesday few drinks and family meal Kevin manager went above and beyond plus waitress Christine couldn't do enough for us all .food excellent and didn't have to wait long very reasonable atmosphere in pub good defo go backAsap

Basic pub grub done well. Good quick table service.

Food rubbish lack of attention to customer service by your staff left sitting at table then left you sitting there. Had to get up and order are own drinks and order food at bar last night totally different at priemer inns I have been to in the last few weeks this was the worst one
