The Boars Head in Stockport - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A very ambient building ,Food & Drink are very reasonably priced

Fantastic food went for Sunday lunch and cannot recommended it enough

Spent a lovely afternoon with my brother and 3 sisters. Food was good, service was excellent. Love the no phone rule. We had a really good time in the relaxing atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

It was a great night all round with friends for .my special night ,my 70th birthday and had plenty of drinks bought me and a great laugh too

Lovely pint of 'Taddy'. As with all Sam Smith's pubs, no phones - which is good - so no pictures! I'll be back.

Good food, plenty of it pleasant staff, nice quiet atmosphere where you can talk

Great Sunday dinners and traditional pub food, affordable pint as well. Just make sure you stick to the no mobile phone use in the pub (brewery rules) or the staffs heads get put on the block

Excellent food really enjoyable staff really friendly and helpful, nice to have a no mobile approach makes a change

Delicious home made food That doesn't cost the earth & the staff are polite & very friendly too

A real pub you could easily visit again and again. The front is like an old country vault and the back is a brilliant looking olden days big boozey room.

Walking group Christmas meal. Fantastic food and service. Well done ladies, especially Stacey the chef.xx

Love Sammy smiths pubs, no phones, no screaming kids or dogs

I've only been after enjoying foodie Friday in the market. But it's always been full with a nice atmosphere. Service at the bar is efficient. As with all Sam Smith's pubs, they only offer their own range of drinks, but the range covers most bases, so is likely to have something for most.

A brilliant pub, so clean Lovely landlady, good atmosphere and brilliant food. Definitely will be back

Old pub, bar staff were really good and chatty. The beer is unique to these chain and can be to your taste or not.

I just went in there for a few drinks with a friend I haven't seen in a long time. While I was showing my friend some video from work - disturbing nobody around - this guy approaches me to say it's written on the coasters and everywhere that "it's a digital free zone" and I can't use my phone (?!!!) I get it you want to keep a "traditional" pub with worn-out furniture and carpets from the 1900s for the elderly locals who enjoy it that way. But telling people they can't use their phones - in the XXIst century!!! is simply a joke. What will you do when your regulars - who probably can't use a smart phone/ laptop and therefore hate technology - will naturally expire?!

Cannot use your mobile in Sam Smiths pubs. Cheap beer!

Difficult Friday’ all you want is to relax like normal people, when you work on high demand in the public. Hence my husband decided to take me to this bar. Got to the counter while I get ready to pay with my apple phone. I got told off that I shouldn’t be using my phone. Errrrr how I am suppose to pay when I carried apple?. The old lady was abrupt. She said are doing Video I replied NO! Then she said you need to put your phone in your bag.! Tbh I’m British but look Asian. But it was pure racism as I saw other people had their phone in their hand. If your are slightly oriental looking … Avoid as you are not welcome … at all sadly.

Racist bar staff. Took my wife. The older lady told her to put her phone away but my wife was looking at it to apple pay. We saw the signs no mobiles. Get with it H ! You just lost another two.

Gorgeous Sunday lunch, no phones allowed which is nice

Brilliant pub but didn’t like the larger but bitter was great.

Probably the worst Sunday dinner in Stockport. The vegetables were all stewed. We got our meal with no cutlery then had to wait for salt and pepper. The service was chaotic staff didn't know who had ordered what. A total waste of money.

The place is very good and. the service was very good. I wanted a meal .All went well but that was not capable at the lunch time. I had Prawns and really enjoyed it.

Quiet great beer lovely interior

The food is great the Sunday dinners anyway you get plenty on the plate especially for the money and the service is relatively quick

Not taken by the digital detox policy. I get that it’s nice to put down your phone once in awhile but too aggressively ban people from using a laptop doesn’t seem that inclusive. I was there to do a bit of work on a Tuesday and felt really unwelcome

I usually drink lagers rheinbacher from aldi , carlsberg , Stella usually 4-5% not carling/fosters. Had a pint of taddys this is £3.40 a pint, really tasty, you can have 8 pints and not have a bad head next day, it gets bust during foody friday(last Friday of every month) toilets are a fair trek downstairs but nothing like a wetherspoons. Always make a beeline there when I'm nearby. ( there used to be a cat in there but sadly died a few yrs ago)

Just went in by myself. Everywhere was busy getting ready for Foodie Friday. Went in to a corner to wait for my wife. Got told to put my phone away. Me, a 38 year old being told what I can and can’t do. I saw a sign when I sat down, thought it was one of those jokey ones like when I was in Cornwall. Nope, someone told me, while I was sat around no one, not to check my phone. I asked if they were serious, they were. Didn’t even taste my pint. Put it back on the bar and left. Went elsewhere. Worse pub I have ever been in and I all did was order a pint and see if my wife texted me.

Good down to earth pub, a must visit for beer drinkers on a night out. This Sam Smith's pub males a great local for the serious beer drinker.

We went here today for lunch. It was awful for the price. My mum had a c & o pie it was soggy like it had been microwaved from frozen. I had a southern fried chicken burger it was like a tescos fillet in breadcrumbs the chips was nice though. But then to top it off I had a grey hair on my burger I nearly threw up! Disgusting would not recommend.. Didn't take picture as no phone pub.

A good recreation of a multi-roomed pub by Sam Smiths

Great place. Neil and Simon behind the bar. Great beer... although Neil needs to smile more x

Great friendly pub with always excellent bitter.

Good old fashioned pub, Very nice food, I got lasagne which was really nice, quiet atmosphere and technology free pub so no phones laptops etc. Which was nice for a change. Will be back to try more food as it was lovely.

Excellent traditional pub with fantastic food

Good prices, staff friendly, especially Hesther

Ric likes the Boars Head. Great value as are pretty much all Sam Smiths pubs. About £3 a pint. The bitter has a very distinctive malt overtone. Been to this pub on the market many times. Great vibe. Both Jorvic and Ric went for the steak and ale pie at £10.75 lovely gravy. Crust a bit soft this time. Proper old time interior with multi rooms.

Excellent food and service, very nicely presented. Would recommend.

Traditional pub, Dam Smith's ales, reasonably priced

Bar staff, amazing, food great home cooked taste, real chips not your frozen rubbish. It's a shame Sam Smith's brewery were once one of the cheapest pubs to drink in to jump to one of if not the most expensive pubs to drink in over the pandemic, unexplainable!

Well kept beer as it always is and although a bit on the very cold side when we arrived it improved as the afternoon went on. At £3 a pint it is virtually half the price of some of the local pubs. It's a proper pub - multi-roomed with a roaring fire in the back room. Good service from very capable bar staff.

Excellent service and excellent food i highly recommend this pub to everyone

Visited for the first time with my hubby early yesterday evening, what a fantastic homely pub this is. From the moment we walked in we were made to feel really welcome by the bar staff, we enquired whether food was being served and they happily confirmed they did from 5pm. We ordered a couple of drinks initially before finding a nice room to the left side of the bar with a welcoming real fire before sitting down to take in the great atmosphere. We loved the fact there was no music or tech devices allowed just good old conversation. We sampled a couple of meals from the menu with such a varied selection on offer, I had the Steak & Ale pie, Mash, seasonal Vegetables with Gravy and hubby sampled the Chilli, Rice, Garlic Bread and a side order of Chips. The food was spot on proper homemade mash and Chips (just like your mum used to make them), dessert was the Sticky Toffee Pudding and Apple Crumble, Custard (with a huge jug of extra Custard). All I can say is 'The Boars Head', Stockport is an absolute gem of a place, keep doing what your doing thanks to all the ladies who served us during our visit we'll definately be back. Mel & Steve Marsden 🍻🍽😉👍🏻

Lovely, friendly staff, fantastic saloon-pub ambience and the new food offerings are spot on.

The pub is very traditional, lovely atmosphere, no TV, no loud music, you can actually have a conversation! The food is excellent, particularly the fish and chips and not over priced.

Had the best fish and chips tonight, fresh, hot and fantastic value. Would highly recommend.

Always liked the beer, Sam Smiths hand dawn OB bitter immaculately kept. Never got round to trying Sunday lunch till today. Mixed meat option turkey pork and beef was superb. £11.95 for generous portion of meat accompanied by creamy mash, roasties Yorkshire pudding and carrots as well as plenty of greens. On a hot plate aswell (so many other places fall down on that detail)

Great atmosphere. Friendly staff and oldy world pub and reasonably priced

Most excellent Sunday roast, nothing too much trouble. Nice atmosphere and great young staff with good attitudes.

Used to be a brilliant pub but now pretty empty I think the brewery policies are keeping people out

Nice Sunday lunch , can’t fault it for the prices .. needed a extra pair of hands working , the 2 ladies were pulled out Especially on the bar

Friendly service and well kept beer 🍻

Lovely Sunday dinner. Proper home cooking

Only 2nd time I've visited this pub and Lorraine and all staff made me feel like a regular, excellent beers available from Samuel Smith brewery and ciders and lagers are also available and a well stocked fridge and top shelf, food is served at lunch until 3 and evenings 5pm till 7 , bus stops are a 5 minutes walk away serving Manchester Hyde Ashton under lyne and other out lying towns. Bit of a up hill walk from shopping precinct but you will be welcomed by all staff and customers no matter what time of day well worth a visit ,

Sam Smith pub so no music or tech including phones, but great wtmisphere, decent food and friendly staff

My boyfriend and I have never been before, it was lovely to be in a old fashioned traditional pub . We had the roast dinner , absolutely lovely. Highly recommend. As a vegetarian the nut roast was nice . Staff were nice too

This is just to let people know not to travel to this pub if you read it’s dog friendly. There are no dogs allowed as they do food now!! Go to the Arden arms instead…..

Lovely meal at the Boars Head - really reasonably priced, goid home cooked food. Bar staff lively, so helpful and welcoming. Will be back thank you.

Great pub , great staff and good prices

Great food & friendly atmosphere. Lovely way to chill out.

Disappointed...thought it was a cheap pub being samuel smiths... got a round of doubles 2 double vodkas £10 2 double rum £10 4 dash of coke £6 £26 There house brand spirits too ffs Was far cheaper in the bars beforehand Won't be returning

Very friendly staff, great location and decent beer to wash it alk down with

A really really great Sam Smith's pub. Why o why does the owner of this company want to run so many into of his establishments into the ground. Granted, they don't need loud music, fruit machines and sky sports. But they need to keep pace with change a little.

Not for me this pub not keen on the beer

This was the first time we decided to have a meal here and if you're happy with good quality pub grub this is the place for you. Aside from the food,the staff we encountered were genuinely friendly and helpful. Great old fashioned pub.

Quiet, well run pub with great beer and good food.

Very nice food. A phone free pub too. Prices very reasonable

Good old-fashioned boozer with decent pub grub, lovely beer and reasonably priced.

Great old fashioned pub, no music, good beer (Sam Smiths) and great value food. Lots of small rooms not all knocked together into one like so many modern pubs. Very friendly staff. Definitely be back on next visit to the town.

Sam Smith's hand pull bitter,nice crowd, but no cards,, cash only

Nice pub shame it feels like a mortuary

Good beers and cheap. A nice friendly pub

Simply one of the best pubs in Stockport!!!

Proper pub, suited me down to the ground. Felt immediately at home there. My dear old grans northern roots Coming out in me perhaps. Oh and a meat raffle. Boom.

I will be coming here, cash only and mobile phone ban.

Great home made food even the homemade chips are just like your mum used to make. Good value for money. I definitely recommend.

Our local for many years great staff and company here. We love it Steve and Sue

Great atmosphere on a Thursday evening .. quiz night .. food mid way through and always quality beers well kept . Lovely roaring fire to keep is toasty

Always a great point and full of local characters

Very pleasant, great beer, nice atmosphere. Went in for one had three does that not say it.

Comfortable pub with range of drinking areas and Sam Smith's beers in market place

This Samuel Smith is a proper traditional pub and like all pubs should be. They don't play music, don't allow phones, messages etc basically it's a pub where you can chat and not have the disturbance of modern day technology. It's a very very old pub but the ales. Ipa's and their selection of Sammy Smiths whiskies and port etc are amazing. I highly recommend visiting and soak in the atmosphere. Me and my mate spoke to the lovely landlady who was sadly finishing after being there for 13 years. It was a great pleasure to have met her and chatted and wish her all the very best. We will be back without a doubt. Well worth a visit if you want a pub that is traditional.

Wonderful drinks selection served by a lovley barmaid with short platinum hair in a lovely coal-fired room

Good Sam smiths pub. As you'd expect.

Fabulous boozer and Fabulous beer 🍺

Lovely place,freindly and a lovely pint of Sam Smiths Bitter

Sad to say since we last visited the food is certainly not to the previous high standard. Will not visit again. Such a pity the location is lovely.

Great chilling experience great staff

Beer was spot on. Very traditional pub. Reasonable prices and plenty of choice ales. No wifi and mobiles must be switched off... To promote conversation.

Old style pub with all style prices. Love it Where everybody else is charging you Manchester prices for a beer in Stockport..

Traditional pub with coal fires and a cat who rules the roost. Being a Sam Smiths pub the beer is cheap and kept well, no mobiles phone allowed which is great for conversation but a pain if meeting people whilst here

Good atmosphere and ideal for the older generation like myself. Great staff and cheap beer. Pensioners like me love it.

Good Sam Smith's in the centre of Stockport

Excellent traditional pub with Sam Smiths on cask if you want to see an old fashioned pub from the glory days of public houses give this place a visit only thing missing an open coal fire

If you like a mobile free pub with no music or televisions. This is your pub. The beer is always cheap and good . Like all Samuel Smith's pubs. They are always warm in the winter....

Excellent beer. Good prices. No phones allowed - supposedly

Proper pub, no phone policy means you speak to others

Great place for good cheap beer.

Stay away of under the age of 65

Great place to talk, no music and good cheep beer
