Came for lunch today, calcifer was amazing, very polite and friendly! Just had a bit to eat and that was great too, Thank you very much

Great staff Maisie and Grace. Wide choice of main courses and very well cooked, I had the scallops And sea bream risotto- excellent

Had a lovely meal chicken,leek and cheese pie and vegetables.also the sea bass and vegetables.Great service from Grace and Maisie very friendly young women and good knowledge of all on offer

Recibimos un excelente servicio de Maisie en nuestra visita a The Didsbury, ella era atento y muy profesional. Los pudines eran increíbles!

Great Sunday roast and overall top pub. Cameron was lovely and helpful as well

Steven was great - thanks for looking after us!

Food can be a bit hit and miss but overall good. Steven was a fantastic help to us today, polite, friendly and helpful

Scarlett and Maisie were polite, welcoming, friendly

Great setting lovely food and great service.

This pub is in an amazing location! And I feel for that reason everything else is lacking, the pints are so poorly poured and had to ask for a top up, the Guinness wasn't left to settle tasted awful poured poorly very untrained bar staff l, no crisps no nuts, atmosphere not great

Lovely working lunch today. Food incredible as always, fast service and looked after super well by the lovely Maisie. Will be back soon!

Haven't been in The Didsbury for a few years. Popped in for sunday lunch as nice location. Booking was done over the phone with automated system which was good. Was a little disappointed with the food; 16.30 booking and no pigs in blankets left😕. Would think they would have sorted food to visitors ratio as it is popular for lunches. Roasties lacked colour and crispness. Best meat was the roast beef👌 The venues decor is rustic but not kept well; lamps out, fixtures left incomplete, dried out plants. It just felt unloved inside and could do with a hug. We were looked after by Cameron who was attentive, personable and genuinely delightful, even when we complained he forwarded our issues with the meal and offered alternatives. Thanks you😃 Staff generally were rushed off feet as it was busy and unfortunatly things can be missed with the service. You did well despite this. Hope this review helps the management plan for a better future. All the best.

Lovely pub but the baby change is practically unusable it’s so high up (I’m an average height woman but I just can’t reach) so I tend not to want to come here with my baby any more which is a shame.

The place has a very nice outdoor space with tables and chairs even for just drinking a beer, especially on sunny days it is very pleasant. The interior is very nice. The food is truly delicious. I recommend the place.

Great beer 🍺 for great people 👍 👏

Friendly and attentive service, good pub food and gluten free menu available.

It's a place we visit often. It has good service. Delicious food. Variety of beers, friendly staff

Great place for getting together

Went today to sit out in the sunshine and it was such a nice atmosphere. Friendly staff and good quality drinks. I will be back. Would recommend.

Food was delicious and service from Maisie was fantastic. Would recommend to friends and come again.

Really poor roast for the price. Had better roasts for £6 at a carvery. Potatoes were so dry, tasted like they were made a week ago. Small portion size. Barely any gravy, so everything was dry, staff reluctant to supply any more gravy. Meal was cold by the time gravy arrived. They had also run out of pigs in blankets. Drinks were extortionate too. Waitress kept forgetting our order. Absolutely not worth the price. I am happy to pay a premium for good food, but this is anything but good. I would recommend going somewhere else for a decent roast.

Didn't have the best experience, the Sunday trio was not one that i would have again. The roast potatoes were very pale looking and the veg wasn't cooked/steamed/boiled. Cauliflower cheese wasn’t nice either. Overall very disappointing and didn't end up staying for dessert because i daren’t risk spending for the lack of quality. The staff were friendly and helpful though!

Popped in to warm myself up as I was waiting on doing a group activity with an organiser. Was greeted by Becci and sat down to a lovely cup of tea and a double espresso for a Sunday morning followed by a mini brekkie - a slice of sourdough toast with fried egg and beans. I can’t comment much on the food itself but it was enough to sustain my hunger till lunch time. I like the ambient and doctor here. Got a bit of a rustic vibe. Thank you Becci for brightening my morning.

We had an amazing dining experience thanks to Cameron. He was incredibly friendly, attentive and made sure we were very well looked after.Its rare to experience such excellent service!

Polite staff but food was bad. Kitchen got an allergy order wrong which is obviously dangerous. Also took ages for food to come.

Had a lovely Saturday meal with my girlfriend. Had the chicken burger which was amazing and was all the better due to the amazing service Cameron gave us during our meal. Thanks to him and the food will definitely be back again!

Came in a few days ago, really great pub with great food. Special mention to our server Thea who was fantastic and absolutely lovely. Will be back soon!

Went here to celebrate some good news. Right from the get go Cameron (Our server) made us feel so welcomed, and tended to our every need. Food was delicious and I’ll defo be going again.

the pub atmosphere was lovely, the service was exceptional especially seb who gave us a warm welcome. will definitely be returning soon

such a gorgeous pub, lovely atmosphere in the pub garden on a warm day! had the absolute best service from seb, what a great guy! will be coming back for another visit soon!

What a lovely time at this pub so happy to have had great service by Seb, he was so kind to us. Warm weather, great atmosphere will be back.

Great service and energy! Thanks Seb for such fabulous service despite the busyness! :)

Return visit today, served by Cal. Excellent service and really enjoyed our food.

Lovely place to eat and go for a drink, always clean and tidy, fab service and food great, we are lucky to have as our local. Maisie served us on Friday and she was great - 5 stars ⭐️

Amazing little evening Sunday dinner with brilliant service from Charlie! Food was excellent and a lovely way to round off the weekend!

Great service and food. Had a Delicious roast for my birthday, and our server Cameron was so lovely!

Scarlett was amazing and really helpful!!

£2.70 for a dash of coke as a mixer? 🫣

Nice meal & Great service from Maisie.

Shared a selection of small dishes. Good service, lovely atmosphere, thank you to our servers Maisie and Grace!

Food was brill. Steven our server was very lovely!

Nice for drinks but we didn't have a great experience with the Sunday roast. We all ordered a different one from the menu and everything we got was bland and dry and the gravy was really thick and not tasty which is not how it's supposed to be! I'm pretty sure a mushroom wellington is actually supposed to have mushroom in it which seems to be missing complete and all you could taste was the horrible gravy inside the pastry with no mushrooms in sight. Would think twice about eating here again although it seems like a nice spot for a few drinks and they are dog friendly.

Food was lovely and Maisie’s service was great!!

Lovely atmosphere! Our server, Maisie, was very kind and helpful. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the great service Maisie!

Grace was a great server and the roast was lovely

Service was speedy despite the sun and the busy lunch rush - thank you to Grace our server! Food was amazing, exactly what we wanted.

Very nice food. The waitresses were very good (Nancy & Maisie).

served by Maisie and Grace who were very attentive. Great service.

Wonderful food and excellent service from Maisie and Grace. Definitely be back again!

Steven, the host we had went above and beyond in looking after us. The food was lovely, really cozy inside and good music.

Lovely food and Maisie was really helpful. Will definately be back.

Went to the Didsbury on 03/03/2025 wasn’t mad busy but quite a few people in we had booked a table sat down waited ages to order again waited ages for the starter to arrive at the table . We then had a long wait for mains after that we were going to order sweets and coffee but the server forgot to come back to us with sweet menu carried on serving other customers. Food is great love the place but let down by the service.

We had lunch at The Didsbury and spent a lovely hour there. Our server was Steven and the service was great. Would recommend.

We had a lovely time at the Didsbury this afternoon. The food was absolutely lovely and all staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our server Steven, was excellent and very attentive. We’re already planning our next visit!

Really enjoyed our meal here. Cameron and the team looked after us wonderfully. Will definelty be coming back again.

Got to The Didsbury 10 minutes early to be told that they had forgotten to reserve our table, finally got seated and ordered the Sunday Trio, meal came and looked very poor compared to eating there previously, gravy was too thick to poor and veg was sparse, beef was advertised as pink but was overcooked and so was the turkey, very dry and didn’t get any mash or roast potatoes with the Sunday dinner so queried this to be told the dinner should have had some included, the dinner wasn’t very hot and very poor value. Tbf the staff looked run off their feet and was very polite.

Great service (Thea), great food, lovely place for a Sunday roast

Served by Maisie who was helpful and attentive. Food was lovely and atmosphere good . Would recommend a visit

Had a lovely evening at the didsbury, comfy seats by the fire, good lager selection and friendly service from Cameron

Great food and Steven was wonderful.

Had a nice evening pint in the pub garden - thanks Cameron!

Lovely Sunday dinner Great selection of dishes Reasonably priced Great outside area which I'm sure is lovely in the better weather

Absolutely fantastic service Waiter was called Cal who advised it was his first shift ~ he knew the menu and was such a pleasant young man

What a fantastic way to spend a Sunday evening! Delicious roast, nice that it's served later as well. Not just lunch hours. Our server Cameron :) was a star. Been before and we'll definitely be coming again. Yummy yummy in my tummy

Excellent service and excellent food. Charlie did a great job and nothing was too much trouble. The lunchtime 2 course offer was very good value and very tasty. All washed down with a bottle of Pinot.

Served by Steven who was extremely helpful, friendly and informative- we asked about a celebration meal for my mum.

Great service once again from Steven! He's such a great guy and nothing is too much trouble for him. Brilliant coffee and breakfast after my run! Thanks again Steven. I'll be back! 👍👍

Top notch! Lovely food and outstanding service, Steven really looked after us and what a great character.

Excellent meal as always and Charlie was very charming and attentive. Looking forward to our next visit!

Maisie was very kinda and helpful.1

Wonderful food and atmosphere, Maisie was so accommodating and made our afternoon thank you

We had a super family meal in this lovely old restaurant. Delicious venison and super vegetarian options. Service from Chloe was attentive but not obtrusive. Would definitely recommend. Thank you

Cameron took very good care of us during our Sunday lunch and the food was terrific

Amazing food and atmosphere. Cameron was a legend looking after us.

When walking in on a chilly Sunday afternoon you could feel the warmth stepping foot in this vibrant pub which was full of character. The service from our waitress Shannon was a delight; highly recommend the establishment for anyone wanting a lovely roast on a Sunday. Would also like to highlight the kitchen staff for their attentiveness, as we had ordered a lot of food amongst ourselves!

Loved our breakfast here!! Thanks to Cameron for his amazing service :))

Had a meal there with family on Saturday afternoon, the place was really busy but this did not affect the food which was amazing. We were served by a young woman (unfortunately I didn't get her name) who was only in her second shift, she was really friendly and welcoming and will be a credit to the pub. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Lovely sunday roast and great servicee from cameron! Thanks!! We will sure to come back

Really enjoyed our Sunday roast here! The place is very welcoming and Cameron was an amazing waiter. Will come back soon.

Great food and Cameron was the best!

Took the family out for an impromptu meal. The food was lovely and our server Grace was exemplary, she really looked after us and the children

Dog friendly pub for lunch. Staff were friendly and service was efficient.

Visited for tea with friends on Thursday. We had the lamb shank shepherds pie, battered hake and chips and a steak and kidney pie. All very high quality for a reasonable price. Staff were amazing especially Ellie.

Service was amazing, the staff are great. Grace was particularly lovely, #team grace

Went for Sunday lunch from start to finish the service was excellent our waitress Sophie was very pleasant and professional and laughed and joked with us which made our first visit a pleasure we will be back and would recommend this fine establishment to anyone thanks again Sophie 😆

Had a lovely Sunday dinner at the didsbury for my Mum’s birthday Our server Cameron was excellent, very attentive and friendly 2 people had the rib of beef which was excellent, only criticism would be very small amount of gravy (more was brought over when asked) and not much veg (only cabbage and carrot and swede mash - can pay for extra veg sides but for £18 would expect more to be included as standard) Overall, we all had a lovely meal!

I used to use the Didsbury fairly often for business lunch/coffee etc Just been sent a £60 parking fine??? I've got enough to do without messing around with Euro car parks when I'm a paying patron. I'll go elsewhere from now on, good luck making it even more difficult for your business in this market. Stupid

Very good food and service, couldn't do enough for us

Maisie our waitress was lovely and the food was delicious and came very quickly!

Cameron who looked after us (table of 7) was fantastic, went over and above . . ..thank you

Me & my family came in for my birthday on the 31st January. We were looked after by Steven. What a gentleman! He truly looked after us and the atmosphere & food were fantastic also! Can't wait to come back again.

Outstanding Service from Maisie! I had the pleasure of dining at the didsbury recently, and I must say, the experience was made exceptional by our server, Maisie. From the moment we arrived, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel genuinely welcome. Maisie was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our drinks were always topped up and checking in at just the right moments. She had excellent knowledge of the menu, offering great recommendations that turned out to be spot-on. Her friendly and professional attitude made the entire meal even more enjoyable. It’s rare to find someone who goes above and beyond to make sure guests have a fantastic experience, but Maisie did just that. She truly made our evening special, and I will definitely be returning because of the outstanding service. Highly recommend asking for Maisie if you visit—she’s a star!

We went for tea last night. The service was fab, Stephen was very attentive and always is. Thank you

Lovely veggie food and a great Guinness

Great late lunch at the Didsbury. Food was very good and the service was excellent. Steven served us and he was excellent. Thank you.

Called in again for lunch today. We all enjoyed our meals and the service from Steven and the rest of the staff was professional and efficient as always. Would definitely recommend.

Great atmosphere, lovely food and vibe, great service from Steven too :)

Had the burns night menu and it was delicious, enjoyed the haggis, having had it before but the venison steak was a highlight. Seb that served us and he was excellent!
