The Barking Dog in Trafford

Solid, independent pub set in the old Urmston post office. Always enjoy visiting.

Called in on Friday afternoon on the 17th for a meal the steak pie was fantastic the meal was served hot which was excellent. (Most places nowadays lukewarm ). We will return . A very polite Barman as well made us both feel very welcome . The burger was also very good . Thank you

A good pub a very good selection of beers and a non alcohol beer on tap

Went yesterday for a family reunion/thing, was in the snug, fairly small, accepts up to 20 people? Think 15 is more apt, as we all know drinks aren't cheap, but nearly £6.00 a pint 😲 that's similar to Manchester city centre bars, buffet was dire, sandwiches had no fillings, had ham sandwich ,ham was like tissue paper, same for the other things on offer, the toilets (gents) upstairs were disgusting, no flooring bare concrete,unclean, I'm not one to moan, have been in worst, but when your paying premium prices you expect a bit of quality, one good point though the staff were polite and good service

Nice Manageress pleasant atmosphere…will definitely call in again when in the area…👅

Had lunch there yesterday for the first time. Had the 3 slider pies with gravy - absolutely delicious and full of the fillings. Looking forward to visiting again soon for the fisherman's pie. Great that they use local produce wherever possible and cook from fresh on the premises. Wouldn’t mind trying the Sunday roast too. Highly recommend.

Absolutely great experience 👍 👌 🙌 amazing painting, fantastic food and pub 😀

Nice atmosphere and good beer selection

A nice place for a drink and chat with friends

The best pub in Urmston! Independent and with local hand pulled beers.

Only ever had drinks here but believe the food is yummy. Often drop In for a couple of drinks when the weather is nice and sit outside

Cosy pub in a former post office building. Wide range of local and international beers. Events include: pub quiz, poetry night, live music and painting night. I haven't eaten here, but friends have told me it serves good quality, pub-style food. Outdoor seating available. Friendly and efficient staff.

Great beer great staff and so friendly to all customers , lot more Draft Beers now and Lagers and food spot on cheers jc

12 pound for a wine and cider, not bad but the cider was undrinkable my partner also said the wine didn't taste right and left it. :(

I went here with my dog and bestie for food and drinks. I was mainly served by Ruby; she was friendly and attentive to both humans and dogs, excellent customer service.

Lovely pub with a decent Pie 'n Pint deal. Good choice of ales and the curry pie was excellent, served with a portion of extra curry sauce. Nice evening so sat outside watching the world go by.

As a family, we absolutely love this pub. It has a great atmosphere, excellent staff who are always friendly and willing to go the extra mile and always a great selection of beers. Highly recommended. 🍺🐶

A lovely pub with good food and atmosphere

Absolutely brilliant food and a gd place to take ur pets.

We like going into this pub but yesterday was disappointing. A barmaid was stood at the end of the bar eating a pizza. She constantly licked her fingers and then served customers without washing her hands. I appreciate they need to eat and have a break but we left as didn't want to order drinks with dirty hands. Such a shame as a great pub.

Had my birthday here for around 18 friends and family. Gosh the staff worked so hard to look after us and made it a really special day. The food was really lovely and everyone had a great time. Thank you so much. Your effort and attention to detail was noted by us all. I will be back with a smaller group soon.

Both Boothroyd and I are making our first ever visit to this bar in an old Post Office building. A CAMRA Good Beer Guide pub three years running. 2022 to 24. Claim a CAMRA discount on beer. Four real ales and a real cider. Booth decided on a pint of Marble Brewery Pint. A 3.4% session bitter. Try a pint and pie for £10 when on special offer. Food on sale (pies..steak n ale, fish, curry pie etc.) and Sunday roasts. Super one room pub plus snug for hire with open air seating out front. Super find says Booth. Stayed for a 3 pie slider for £15 to share between us. Steak n ale, chicken n mushroom and chicken curry. We were not hungry until we smelt the gravy! Also had a pint of Dunham Massey Dark Mild at 3.8%. One small TV. Pipped music. Cocktails for £7.50. Popular with families. Some tables reserved. Pies excellent..and Booth knows a great pie! Toilets upstairs but also a ground floor disabled facility.

Went here on a Tuesday to meet up with friends for food. We were in the nook, and I ordered the steak pie and mash. The pie was absolutely delicious, full of meat, the mash was gorgeous.... And to top it off, keep the receipt.... And eat again on a Tuesday night in the same month for free. To be honest, it's a cracking deal, and the food was excellent. The staff were so lovely..... The place is a credit to Urmston. X

Great night out doing a Sip and Paint event

Some venue this. Great selection on the bar and a fantastic atmosphere on a Saturday evening. Food was lovely and you definitely get value for money

Great selection of beers/ales to choose from

Nice Pub, Always had a good experience with drinks & food!

Lovely food, great relaxed atmosphere, we really enjoyed our visit. The roast beef was delicious and the pie looked fabulous

Lovely friendly place seen food looked deliciously tradional

Rude staff no manners won't be coming again, back handed comments at the bar absolutely awful. Think they need an education in customer service

Nice bar good selection of beers great staff

I came with my partner for a quick drink after a meal , arrangement staff behind the bar very rude and abrupt will not frequent the establishment again

Very busy on Christmas eve , but plenty of staff on , food was excellent along with the service and the fact we could take our dog was a bonus! Very highly recommended

We shared a variety of delicious meals here with the family on Saturday, & everyone was impressed. A lovely friendly pub supplying good food & drink. Looking forward to our next visit.

We had booked a table for Sunday lunch. Despite multiple tables being free in the main bar we were sat in the empty snug with no other customers. We asked to sit in the main bar but were clearly a nuisance even though multiple tables were empty. We were told that’s a ‘four’ … and the table remained empty for the 45 mins we were there. The customer service left a lot to be desired which is a shame as we loved it last time but having seen multiple plates sent back we will go else where next time.

Very good Beer, nice athmosphere, friendly staff

Great night, lots of bar staff and best baby Guinness ever

Really good value food. The staff are also really friendly. There are a couple of good gluten free options on the menu too!

Good beer, good price, nice people...

Quite busy at the weekend with a good atmosphere and generally quite during the week. Dogs are welcome. Friendly staff and nice ambience

Nice selection of beers. Love the Manchester Union Lager. Great pie sliders. The chicken curry pie is a standout.

Fantastic food and ales. Brilliant service, kid friendly and a cracking Atmosphere. Looking forward to my next visit already!!

Very friendly staff and nice choice of ales

Excellent beer great food, very dog friendly one of my favourites.

Love the quiz night and friendly staff, seeing all the dogs is very nice too

I had a pit stop here with a friend after a walk on a sunny Saturday . I didn't have food but the food I saw coming out for other people looked delicious. I had 2 pints of a stout which were lovely and cold, and my mate had lager which was also lovely and cold. We spoke with a lovely little lady who may have been the manageress who was very sociable and welcoming so we will probably use it as a pit stop again because it's got a nice atmosphere.

Ok for a drink. Nothing fantastic like.

Went for the pies. Came back for the beers.

Excellent pub , great good. Great range of cask ales . Love it

Love this place. Local and friendly staff

So uninviting couldn't wait to get away didn't even finish my drink never been back. Don't want to go back to be honest, only went to try it because we were told it had been taken over, well sorry but it hasn't changed at all.

My friends and I went for early doors to celebrate a birthday. The food was excellent, the service was great and my dog was spoilt rotten. The young lady who served us could not have do more !

I love this pub, friendly atmosphere, excellent staff and always a great array of beers. Highly recommend!

Great atmosphere. Great service. Fun quiz

Good range of beers and plenty of seating outside if the weather is warm.

Hot buffet for my sons 18th birthday, cannot recommend enough. Hot, fresh and delicious. Total value, so much food. Of particular note was the chicken wings and excellent scones made our celebration thank-you barking dog

Food always delicious and bar well stocked. However, what makes every trip fabulous is the attentive staff, young and old, who treat all customers so well. Never felt rushed or uncomfortable. Thank you all.

Love the barking dog. Favourite pub in urmston! Best place for pie and a pint!

Our party of 8 (plus 2 dogs) had a great night here.

The dogs cheese and onion pie going back for 2nds....

Went to barking dog 2 weeks ago on Tuesday. The pies are delicious & considering I don't like mashed potato it was the best I have tasted. We were then informed that if we went again within the month we got 2 free meals. Lovely place, staff lovely will definitely be going again.

Really enjoy quiz and the atmosphere here. Look forward to going again.

Loved the steak and ale pie...the burger was also amazing...too big to be eaten as one piece, though 😋

Great boozer with lovely staff not been for food yet, but drinks are reasonably priced. DJ on at weekends, who plays some belters

Lovely staff and service. Excellent quiz on a Wednesday and friendly atmosphere with good beers

An excellent pub, very nice friendly family atmosphere, drinks and food competitively priced. Staff are friendly and attentive. Ample parking on the road. definitely a 10/10 place. Highly recomended.

Homely, excellent beer and overall good atmosphere

Nice pub, dog friendly and just as important, it sells Real Ale. Would recommend 😁

5 of us and our dog visited this pub on a very wet Saturday early evening, looking for somewhere we could take our dog and have a meal whilst visiting our daughter at Salford uni for the weekend. Despite being very busy in the pub, the staff found us a table after a few minutes, and when we’d ordered our food it came within 25 mins. We ordered a variety of different dishes between us and they arrived absolutely piping hot and were delicious, in fact I would say the steak and ale pie was the best I’ve had for a long time. I would thoroughly recommend and we will definitely go there again when next up in the area. Thanks guys!!

Booked as a large group with some other families. The staff could not have been more accommodating, going the extra mile helping me to plan everything, from our arrival time, to dealing with dietary needs and arranging our pre-order of food. Staff were attentive and flexible on the day. Been in several times with just my family too and never been disappointed. The staff are always so lovely and the food and drinks are great - I thoroughly recommend the pies!

Nice little bar Always busy Never had a seat in there yet 😭

My small man has a thing for Sunday lunches at the minute and the one here did not let him down. The kid’s Sunday roast would have quite frankly been ample for me a 40 year old never mind the 8 year old! Who’d already eaten his breakfast and a Greg’s sausage roll. Talk about a hungry caterpillar. I opted for the cheese and onion pie and the other half had a burger. We were also extremely impressed. Great beer choices, a chilled vibe and a frankly brilliant music selection being played means we’ll be recommending to friends and returning soon.

I have been many times and it seems to get better every time. Staff are friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend the food.

Efficient staff lovely food good ambience

Very friendly staff and nice choice of food .Both child and dog friendly !

The Barking dog is a great pub. In an age where there are trendy bars and themed drinks outlets popping up , it’s so good to see a traditional style pub going strong . The beers are great, the staff are great and the welcome is always on point, you can tell that the owner cares. They put a real effort into entertainment and have all sorts going on to cover most interests. Quizzes , DJs and more . The food is lovely and cooked with care . I’ve got a gluten allergy and when I queried the food the waitress did a great job going through the options . Now I’ve worked in hospitality for a along time , mostly in kitchens and if I was ever asked about allergies, especially gluten I would always say that although many items were gluten free , we do prepare food with flour etc and there could be a small chance that some flour could fall or ‘drift’ into another dish. This is highly unlikely and also wouldn’t be an Amount that would cause a problem but better safe than sorry. If someone has a serious allergy their safety comes first . So I appreciated the staffs honesty in relation to this and I went ahead and enjoyed a great meal. The place is well maintained and cleaned. It’s got great ventilation and felt really airy, yet cosy. Well done guys , keep up the good work and see you for a beer soon. When is the bald DJ on next ? He is hilarious. Take care !

This is a great pub that does good beers, very good food and has an excellent atmosphere. Loads of events and I even saw the local vicar hosting a synth night here once! What a night

Great pub, friendly team, Rob lovely guy. Great food with a nice atmosphere .

Excellent staff great food good choice off real ales great atmosphere

Had a nice couple of drinks in here. Lovely ambiance. Paid about £10 for a pint of Estrella and a large rose, which seems about the going rate. Worth a visit

Absolutely Brill lovely evening good atmosphere xx

Thought to be much better we will jam gonna tell with hardly anything in there as we had to wait an hour for our food. Place could do with dust, to get ride of the cobwebs everywhere, Yorkshire pudding looked like a flower pot and tasted of uncooked bread, Red cabbage soaking in vinaigrette,

Good service nice atmosphere well worth a look

Excellant choice of drinks and great atmosphere

Awesome! Great food, great staff and super dog friendly

Great food, excellent selection of ales and lovely staff.

High priced beers , waiting for 45mins for a meal when it arrived it was cold The pies where over salty. Not even remotely warm and the red cabbage was cooked in Christ knows , but it was rank ,dusty little snug with cracked paint and cobwebs in the place where the safe was,

Cracking little pub. Great beer and will definitely be visiting again to try the food - the pies looked and smelled fantastic. 👍👍

Excellent place for real ale with great staff and a good menu to choose from most highly recommended. 08,11,22 still a great place for real ale still highly recommended

If for no other reason, you should go here for the pies. If you go on a Tuesday then you get a voucher that entitles you to another pie the following Tuesday, what’s not to like about that!

Appalling for allergies. Made to feel my medical condition was an inconvenience. I was told they couldn't guarantee any of the food was allergy safe as "its all prepared in the same kitchen". At least they are honest about their disregard for safety standards. >> in response to your reply << you state "We do have a significant number of allergen free options on the menu." and "We have a small kitchen that is not big enough to guarantee an allergen free area due to cross contamination." You clearly dont understand food safety in the slightest or wouldn't make the first statement. Safe food preparation does not require two kitchens or screened off areas, this shows your basic lack of knowledge. Changing gloves for example is a simple step you should take, good chefs knows this and go out of their way to ensure the customer feels their medical needs are being taken seriously, it was only because I reiterated my medical condition that I was told "oh it has to be allergen free, we cant guarantee that". You clearly dont understand what it is like to have a medical condition, and anyone with a dietary requirement needs to know this and avoid eating here at all costs, hence the one star.

Decent bar and friendly atmosphere.

Best pub in Urmston bar none. Top beer, great decor, dogs welcome and the landlord is fit as.... Reminds me of buzz lightyear and turns me into woody everytime. Keep up the good work, wuff wuff

Nice pub for a pint with seating outside

Had a lovely evening with my brother his wife and my sister celebrating my brother 65th birthday. They got hooked on these pink looking shots. Was good that they had a selection of alcohol free beers for me as I was driving

Great friendly local been a few times ..great choice of ales, nice guys behind the bar and quiz night is a welcome distraction from a busy day..

Tidy, friendly staff and decent beer!

Went with family for a father's day lunch and it was great, good food and it wasn't overwhelming despite being busy. The staff were all lovely and it was a good experience as a group.

Thought it was okay. A little dark and ambiance not great.

Very nice just a bit pricey for what they offer
