The Bridge Inn in Trafford

We've been a couple of times for a drink. Lovely friendly pub. Decided to try the food . Was very disappointed everything was overdone/burnt. Had butter chicken breast burger had to leave coating my husband had mixed grill the egg was crispy onion rings crunchy chicken was chewy and asked for medium rare steak which came well done. Sausage was amazing though.

Loved it, best sunday roast I've had in a long time. Fab menu and great value. Meal deals. Staff lovely, service excellent. Sat outside in gardens lovely. Will return with family.

We waited 50 minutes for are food and it wasn’t busy. Then the food was warm not hot. However the staff were very nice and gave us free drinks

We went for an early week lunch, it wasn't particularly busy. The food original came missing an item, which were then provided, when told about the eggs being undercooked and the food being cold, the reply was it looks ok, the food was like it had come out of the fridge. Won't be back in hurry

Lovely relaxing drink outside in the sunshine

Lovely place next a canal, perfect for some summer drinks outside or dine in on a colder day!

Lovely beer garden for a warm day. Seemed quite chilled and relaxed. Very busy but still managed to get served quickly. Prices are as expected for around this part of the world. Didn't eat here, but the food l9oked and smelled lovely...

I did enjoyed my time here. Service was great! Atmosphere wasn’t amazing then again it wasn’t the best weather. Beer garden seems like it would be very nice! The food while it tasted good, having a burger on a board feels very 2000s. Would have preferred a plate, wanted to season my fries properly with pepper. appreciated a healthy amount of veg/vegan options! I had a side that I payed £7.95 for that was meant to be chicken nuggets. I had 3 chicken nuggets with some salad on the side. That was embarrassing. For that reason I won’t be coming back for food as it’s very overpriced for what I got, but the beer garden and the food was lovely.

Great location, lovely food and friendly staff. Will be back again.

Very nice pub with large outdoor area on the canal. Didn’t have time to order food but does do food. There was a quiz started as we left. Right next to the tram stop.

Changed hands and food was disappointing. The meat in my duck wrap was hard, burnt and chewy. Custard was cold and portion of bakewell tart tiny for the price. Very poor slow service despite there being plenty of servers.

Top place for a drink after a run/walk down the canal. Lovely outdoors area.

Good vibes, nice atmosphere, reasonably priced. Nice food for a pub.

Lovely staff, decent selection of food and drinks, plenty of outdoor seating, and a lively atmosphere! A great place for drinks in the sun as it’s right next to the canal and a short walk from Dane Road Tram stop. Bar staff were extremely helpful and very forgiving when we accidentally broke a glass. We would definitely recommend a visit!

Beer in the sun. Lots of fun. Toilets nice and clean for your bum. Good place to take your mum. Foods yum-yum. Fairly expensive sum £

We booked a table tonight, and when we arrived, there was a sign asking us to wait to be seated, but no one came, so we joined the bar que. The que was due to only one person serving at the time. When we reached the bar, a gentleman served us and showed us where we could sit as there was a choice of tables. He was a very nice man, I think he was the manager as he had to see to an issue. Whilst looking through the menu, the table behind us made a complaint about the waitress not informing them of a menu error, the meal coming out without a salad as advertised. The waitress was working the whole floor alone and looked fed up (can't say i blame her as it was busy). The atmosphere just didn't feel very good to us in all honesty. Then, a few lads came in, and the rowdy level went up a notch. The 'new' menu didn't thrill me. I loved the firtes and chips meal, but it wasn't on the new one, unfortunately. So we decided to leave and go elsewhere tonight. Noones fault in particular, staff shortages happen, menu mishaps happen and so on. For us, though, we wanted a nice meal in a jolly place, and sadly, tonight, the bridge wasn't it.

Found this place on a canal walk and super glad we did. Sun was shining and we were starving. I glad we came hungry as the outdoor menu was delicious and huge portions. Lovely hot and well cooked chips. We ordered some burgers which were very juicy and lots of great flavours. Would highly recommend and will come back

Food is always great here and staff are so friendly. A really nice place for dinner

Really lovely place, nice views and food was yummy. Would definitely return. 😊

The fish and chips is worth to try, very juicy inside and not oily. The halloumi is soft and not salty, and it is delicious. Good service and the place is beautiful for taking photos. Reservation is recommended for Friday nights.

Nice place to eat and decent food A group of noisy women spoiling a nice sunday afternoon.

Popular spot right on the canal food really good

Wonderful staff! Great views and a beautiful beer garden

It was a great place to go, we took the dog and the staff were very friendly

Had fish and chips and it came with a free side of food poisoning. 4 hours later and it was coming out of both ends for over 12 hours. Would not recommend and I would not return. The chef was a youngIndian lad. Make of that what you will. I eat out 3-4 times a week and I’ve never had anything like this in my life.

This is better than standard pub grub

We went on a quiet Monday lunch. We took our dog with us. The Barman/Server was friendly and quickly came to the table to take our drinks order. He brought the dog some dog biscuits over which she adored him for. We had soup, Sea Bass, Steak and Ale pie. All meals were of restaurant standard. Absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend.

We booked the bridge inn for 4 today for two really busy good sign we got sat down quickly got a drink they took our order with ten minutes but we waited over 50 mins they said sorry but a family off 4 who waited for a hour just cancelled and left the food when it came was yummy 😋 we were both had arse ake sat down to long the staff were very busy and apologetic to us just spoiled the meal sadly

Really tasty Sunday Roast one of the better ones I’ve had in the last few years and a good portion size too. Service was quite slow and certainly wasn’t with a smile, but the food was great.

Beautiful pub lovely staff food is lovely to and dogs are aloud to it was my first time in this pub after our long walk and we be back well worth visit

Came on a Thursday lunchtime,we were a party of 8 people. The staff were very helpful and friendly,we all had different meals and every one of them were hot and delicious. It was quiet ( until we arrived)and I can imagine it gets very busy on a Sunday and sunny days. Had lots of seating for outside. Well worth a visit. We will go back again.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Awesome food, washed down with great J.W Lees. Definitely recommend.

What a fabulous place everything was amazing thank you booking again for the 23rd Feb.

All of Can’t even give no stars. But that’s where the food should be. I was Getting given a refund for my meal - it was bad And in all fairness it is rare for me to complain or do a review Choice was mixed grill The food was So salty. burnt sausage chicken dry. The steak had definitely been cooked on a dirty grill In all fairness the supervisor refunded the meal. But I am more concerned that this left the kitchen as acceptable?!! The others had chips for approx 4:95. One plate but two portions But totally over priced

Absolutely brilliant fish chips and peas the only problem being i couldn't finish it all, loved it ill definitely be back and highly recommend.

This place manages to shine in all seasons. In winter it's a cosy warm pub serving incredibly delicious food. The meals coming out the kitchen smelt so good! But in summer it's perfect for enjoying food and drink outside by the canal.

Good food and service , very nice and large crispy golden fish and chips.

Had an amazing Xmas dinner today, food delicious and lots of it! Kev, Claire and team well done for providing a great Xmas experience, will be booking Xmas dinner again next year!

Such a shame, Christmas eve was a disaster, although we didn't end up paying for 2 of the meals, the staff and the manager didn't get it 😕 it wasn't about the money........all they could say was " sorry it's busy " but it actually wasn't 🤷‍♀️there was clearly an issue in the kitchen and we'd have much preferred an honest answer.The food was appalling, I wouldn't have even given my dog the dried up excuse for turkey, the food had clearly been under the hot plate for to long as we'd waited 40 minutes for our mains and it was a congealed, burnt mess, but were told by the waitress that ,it couldn't have been as they don't plate the food up until it's ready to go out😒please don't try to lie and make mugs out of the customers. It's a shame as we have a boat and a couple of times throughout the summer have moored up and had lovely meals, probably won't return as it was really awful food and customer service leaves alot to be desired, like I said to the manager, it's not about the money, I'd have preferred honesty.

Saved by the wonderful staff. Took 40 minutes to bring the food and one of the dishes was wrong. Staff was brilliant to listen to our complaints and they didn't charge us for the dish they brought by mistake. The food was good.

Food was plenty & good Service was also good. Would use again. Christmas menu.

I can honestly say that the Bridge Inn is the worst pub that I have ever visited. Whilst eating my meal I had the aroma of wet dogs from the 2 tables at my side accompanied by spells of barking.There was then a period of young children being allowed to run riot screaming around the pub whilst parents took no responsibility for their behaviour. I acknowledge that this isn't the fault of the pub but surely they could put in place a standard of acceptable behaviour and why oh why allow dogs in the food area. I couldn't wait to leave and definitely won't be returning or recommending.

Lovely pub, good food and pleasant staff.

Really enjoyed our work night our here. We'd pre-ordered & paid for food in advance, which made it easier. Staff were efficient considering such a big group. My sea bass was absolutely delicious, the fish perfect with delicious sauce & tasty greens. The creme brulee was nice too. Friends enjoyed the chocolate tart. The atmosphere was pleasant, the band were really good, but not too loud so you could still have a conversation.

Great local pub with an amazing band called the Mighty Reform on the Friday evening we went in, which created a brilliant atmosphere. Particular mention to Francesca from the Bridge who was very helpful all night.

Lovely restaurant. Food was nice and hot. Very nice staff

Amazing meal with a large party last night. Place was v busy but staff were attentive, food was great ( massive portions) . Place was buzzing and festive. Great atmosphere aand we all had a fantastic night.Thanks to all the staff

Unfortunately, this won't be a good review either. We came on a quiet Monday afternoon, maybe it was a mistake. Their selection of drinks and the thai haloumni cheese is unbeatable, but their mains are ... well, lets just say it needs some improvement. First of all, we ordered duck breast, lamb shank and fish & chips. They didn't have any sort of flavor, the gravy with the duck breast just tasted gravy powder (the cheapest one) and water. Same goes for the lamb. British pub food can have rich flavour (as many pubs have proved it already) doesn't have to taste like nothing. Especially for the price we paid. The service was very basic, nothing outstanding, I wouldn't go back if there was another pub nearby. Sad for a pub what has a lovely interior design and view to the canal.

Better than I last went in. Only had a pint

Soup turned up cold so was sent back, not enough knives and forks, peas on the lamb were cold and worst part was the service, they asked us was everything ok, we said not really and the waiter (man with checked shirt) shrugged his shoulders and walked off. Won't be going again.

We had a really good meal here, it was only a dinnertime snack but really good food the Duck Bon Bons were delicious better than a lot of chains etc would definitely call again but not park in the car park, my own fault I guess for driving a large ford ranger but it took a 20 point manoeuvre to get out but it kept the guy who was was watching with a pint entertained.

Absolutely fantastic food and service. Loved it!

Just went for a few drinks with friends. Great time, nice environment and we happened to visit on wine Wednesday so got an extra glass of wine free.

A wonderful day celebrating our Mums 90th birthday. From start to finish we were looked after by the wonderful staff, buffet was fantastic, and a special thanks to Matt who was amazing THANKYOU ALL INVOLVED xxxxx

Fabulous evening for my 70th bday (😔). It was reasonably busy but 45 mins after our mains had been cleared we hadn't been asked for dessert choices. The young man seemed a little lost as I saw him wandering about. In fairness we all have to learn. In conclusion I would recommend The Bridge to anyone

Tasty food, served quickly despite the crowd, and good craft beer. I recommend

We visited at 4.30pm on a Thursday afternoon. It was very quiet hence the 3 stars for atmosphere. Food and service were excellent and good value. The accessible entrance was not wide enough for my guest's wheelchair so be aware if you have accessibility needs. Once inside there are no problems.

The service was slow on Sunday, but understandable since it was very busy. Me and a friend got the sharing Sunday roast. Beef: Amazing done, soft and breaks apart. Gammon: Soft and tender. Chicken breast: A little well done and tough for my liking. The Yorkshire’s and sage stuffing was the star of the dish, perfectly done. The potatoes are soft and has a very little crisp to them. Carrots and parsnips were very tender. I’m not a fan of cauliflower and cheese but it was very good. We also had dessert, Bakewell tart perfect. The sticky toffee apple waffle crunch was lovely, it’s basically a waffle with apple crumble.

Great spot for lunch. First class

Lovely pub, great food and drinks and a decent atmosphere. Nice that there are no TVs so you obviously avoid a certain type of clientele making it better for families and a more quiet drink. Pet friendly as well.

Food excellent. Portion sizes quite generous. Atmosphere very noisy with barking dogs in the background. Thank you to Sarah our server

Great pub situated on the canal and a stones throw from the metrolink. A massive outdoor (and indoor) area. Would be nice to enjoy the terrace on a sunny day

Nice pub just had drinks food looked good

Great food, friendly and welcoming staff. Nice pub, definitely will come back.

Love the food here, (you have to try the salt and pepper chicken fries) , and the staff are so nice and friendly,

food and dog friendly But the Sunday dinner was sub standard And I wont be going back

Amazing place, food and service are exceptional. So pleased our Daughter dragged us there.

Great Sunday Lunch , and atmosphere today.

Pizza chef rude as f… refused to serve my mother a pizza then told me it’s an hour wait, then the table next to me which arrived 5 mins after just recieved their pizza so f… knows whats going on, can see the chef working in the back so why they can’t serve food is unknown The pub itself did take the order it’s the garden bar outdoors which are rude and useless may aswell shut if you dont want to sell pizza

Great food, always love the Fish and Chips 😃 and Dog friendly 🐾🐾

A good local place to eat, with attractive views over the canal from one of the two main eating areas. There is ample parking together with lots of varied outdoor seating, again with attractive views in this urban area.

Pie was OK and chips were a bit overcooked. Beer was good but there was a long wait at the bar.

We’ve been using the Bridge for many years for our monthly car club meet. The new menu is great and last night produced the best plates of food we’ve had so far! Lovely staff, amazing food!

A nice sunny Saturday afternoon pint in the newly refurbished outside area, with an outside bar next to the canal. Excellent.

Large paved garden with plenty of tables and a view of the canal and trees. A great place to enjoy the scenery with a glass of beer or wine. We will certainly go back next time we are in Sale.

Really friendly and helpful staff. Food was delicious.

Great place to have a drink after a walk. Great building, nicely decorated, friendly staff.

Not very friendly if you don't go there regularly.

Splendid food in an agreeable location. Timely service by friendly staff.

Excellent pub restaurant. Large car park. Bright and modern. Friendly staff. Refreshing cold lager.

Visited here in the last few days after they have been renovating the outside area. Now, there is an outside bar and food area where you can order drinks and food. We chose the vegetable pizza, which was delicious, and the Salt and Pepper Squid and Halloumi fries again, which was tasty. You need to visit as we will be back very soon

Great food lovely staff friendly atmosphere

Good pub, the food was good, not my real ale bitter but was ok, service was slightly slow at first but ok in the end, will go back no problem.

Nice looking place, on the water, and with a good car park. Food was underwhelming, not bad, it just wasn't as expected. The tower burger sounded like an epic feast on the menu, but didn't deliver in person which was disappointing as so many other places would have. Chicken burger was fine, but again, not what it could have been, just bland really. The creamy fish dish was lovely though. Serving staff just seemed a bit clueless, but polite and without issue, so was maybe just a newbie. It's not a bad place, just not as good as others, so we won't rush back, but wouldn't say no to going again, we'd just all have the fish!

Not bad, but after going to a bar, I was waiting 17 minutes to be served,even though there was nobody in the queue, but 4 waiters were behind the bar.When I asked after10_12(?)min if I can be served, I was told they are first serving people outside.I am sure they could pass me 1 rose lemonade.hmm

Poor service, food not as listed on menu, hair in desserts.

Arrived on Saturday at about 2.30 pm. Car park compact for the size of the place. Very spacious inside and ample table space outside, facing the canal. Waiter Service for drinks was quick and polite. Ordered steak and ale pie with chips and mushy peas. Arrived in 10 minutes - nice and hot. Proper thick cut chips - not frozen or the american type. Did not have a dessert but looked tempting. Toilet facilities good and clean. Staff informative. Would go again if in that area.

First ever experience of this pub, I walked in and stood at the bar to be served, the young male bartender shoved a large wooden cutlery holder at me and asked me to pass it to one of the tables that was in the eating area! Confused, I said 'I don't work here' and he stroppily repeats 'yeah just pass it to that table there' !! Unbelievable behaviour and attitude to customers! Too lazy to take it to the customers table himself, and he's being paid to work there! Will not be returning.

Good stop on the Bridgewater canal for a pint.

Food was exquisite and views of canal and local tugboats added so much to the experience. Staff were very friendly also. Would highly recommend

Excellent location beside the canal.. I would recommend everyone to try the share platter Sunday lunch..it comes with 3 meats superb veg and choice of sauces plus bottomless gravy and as many Yorkshire puddings as you like...overall great value and great service..

Popped in and had a pizza wasn’t disappointed had to eat half before even thinking of posting a photo of it……the thing that’s made this 3 stars was how much it was for a pint of cider £5.40 is an absolute liberty.

Great food and some excellent ales... Right by the canal... Staff very friendly

What a find this place was. Booked in at Travelodge Sale and faced with the choice of "anywhere but Fridays" The Bridge Inn is just 10 mins walk away. Worth the great reviews it already has. Lots of outdoor seating next to the canal, plenty of room inside too. Had a fantastic steak and ale pie, my buddy rated highly his fish and chips too. Worth the walk and far better quality of dinner.

I rarely write reviews but when i do it, it's extremely gone right or extremely gone wrong. The food, the service and the atmosphere were amazing. We had a Sunday roast with a biscoff cheese cake for the dessert. The food was amazing and a great staff always checking if everything was alright. I strongly recommend this place for a Sunday roast. Thank you to Tom and his team!

Gorgeous pub serving lovely food ,great service and atmosphere ,highly recommend!!

Why so expensive. £5.50 for a Miguel

Love the extended beer garden with fresh pizza

Visited here for a bite to eat before heading to Old Trafford Cricket Ground for the Foo Fighters gig, two stops along the tram line. Excellent food, staff and service. Can't say much more. The small plates were superb and the fish n chips is reccomended. Inches cider on draught is another bonus for us cider drinkers!

Stopped by on my own to read and grab a bite to eat . Food was good but very loud and busy on a Sunday afternoon
