The Dog & Partridge, in Manchester

I love the D&P and all of the staff!!!

The bouncer is the worst bouncer in didsbury. My sister went in with a sausage roll in her pocket from Greg’s and he grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her out the door forcefully. So ridiculous, cant believe a nice pub has been ruined by one person

Always extremely rude, staff want to get off their high horse

Toilets were filthy at 12.30 in the afternoon and a pint was 6.20!!

Watched the Footy had good atmosphere, they stopped serving food during the game, nice if they updated the times for food during the football.

Excellent cheese board on a Tuesday. Can accommodate 2x games in the pub.

From the moment we arrived it was clear we weren’t welcome but we wanted to finish our drinks before moving on. What happened next was utterly shocking. A staff member made a completely unfounded accusation of racism to someone in our group and aggressively told us all to leave. If you don’t want us in the pub politely ask us to leave, you cannot falsely accuse someone of racism, utterly appalling behaviour and treatment. To then tell other people and leave us subject to abuse from them is a very dangerous game. I am in genuine disbelief that someone thinks it’s okay to falsely accuse someone of racism. Appalling actions from an awful human being.

Popped in for cheese night. It didn't disappoint.

Fantastic Pub! Fantastic live music Friday nights! Lovely Staff and customers 😀 Had a brilliant night there. Can highly recommend 👌

Surprising this was my first visit to this classic boozer. Because of its location, there is an eclectic mix of young and old, and it has really nice vibes. We watched the football and then there was a blues band straight after, who were great and have a monthly Friday slot. Definitely worth a visit . We didn't eat, so can't comment on the menu

Rude staff put a downer on my 21st birthday :(. It was like this the first time we visited but that was 6 months prior so we were hoping it had changed but it doesn't seem so. Drink prices were not cheap to compensate for poor service so I would not come here again.

Food was great and prepared well, drinks were great and pub looked very nice. Would definitely come again

Best pie. Can't believe I ate all the pastry! Loads of tasty filling. We had three different pies and all really enjoyed. A GEM of a pub that we stumbled on.

Went for bottomless brunch. Food was top drawer and the booze was frequently refreshed. That's all you can ask, really

We all enjoyed the pies, they were absolutely delicious. The young girl serving though was extremely sour. Clearly she hates customers and this is a bit off putting.

I wouldn't know as I couldn't get in the pub!

Midweek drink watchin the footy,,, free cheese & crackers , can't ask for more..👍

Classic pub with a great outdoor space

Great pub for a few beers with mates. Didn't eat in there, so can't comment on the grub. Great pub, great location.

Very dark hole with totaly overpriced drink and unpleasant rude staff. No food, no light.... Not worth of coming, definitely-

Great to see an old pub like this still thriving. My experience was ruined by the 'music', which was of dire quality and far too loud at 7pm on a Sunday evening. Had to shout to hold a conversation.

You have to try the "Moo and Blue" pie, steak and Stilton. I think it's the best pie I've ever had. Also a nice pub with a good atmosphere.

They have a great free cheese night, what’s not to love

Just a good pub with a good selection of drinks just really want a pie from there 😅

Nice and spacious pub. Great selection of draft and dog friendly too.

Thrown out when 2 18 year olds had ID and 2 did not due to being with their parents. Absolutely ridiculous member of staff. Never witnessed this in my 23 years of living. Baffled with their behaviour. Will never return.

Miserable bar staff. The guy who claims to be the landlord was on a power trip and a massive attitude problem. Needless to say, won't ever be visiting again.

Landlord was out of order I apologised for my friend saying something but kept saying he was the owner! Didn’t like that wasn’t fazed but turned my night into a different animal.

Toilet is minging but the pubs alright

Friendly pub, decent price for lager in Didsbury, good for sport.

Good pub but very cliche at times, but good beer !

Good cosy pub with a good selection of drinks

Just a great local boozer… occasionally gets too busy, but wait a few minutes and the didsbury dozen transients will move on.

Rude general manager ruined a lovely pub. Used to be my favourite pub in Didsbury but won’t be back because of him.

General Manager aggressive without provocation when asking us to move tables as two of our friends were ten minutes late. Been for years loved the pub previously, don't usually write reviews like this but treatment was disgusting and not needed. Really sad to not want to return to good local!

Friendly buzzing atmosphere had a great time.

Nice and friendly service. The pies were very good and tasty. I recommend it, and would definitely go back when I'm in Didsbury again.

One of the best pubs in Didsbury.

Good pub...not what it was but still a good pint of Timmy T

Good football result, Liverpool 1 City 0.....🤣

Traditional pub. Only had one quick drink. The pub had a few in it. Nice relaxed atmosphere. It's in Didbury Village near a lot of other bars and pubs. Maybe one to stop off, have a drink and check out, whilst bar hopping. Didn't notice menus, so not sure if they serve food. I will have to go back and check, lol, or Google it, but I'd prefer to go back... to be continued...

Great local pub with lovely selection of drinks and pies. Bar staff are always a good laugh whether it's busy or quiet.

Good well managed traditional pub

Just one real ale - Timothy Taylor Landlord albeit in very good condition. There is now more seating. Pies, pasties and pizzas available, (not tried). Let down by a frankly shabby interior and fairly high prices even for Didsbury.

Decent choice of beers and despite being busy,the barstaff were quick to serve and pleasant.

Visited yesterday after living overseas for 6 years. Nice pub. Friendly staff member. Nice to see it still open

We visit fairly regularly and staff and drinks are always good. Nice atmosphere.

We had a lovely, watching rugby on TV. Great atmosphere.

Doing the magic mild trail which they claim to be taking part in, but the landlord could not be arsed stocking any mild. Typical Green king pub :(

Value for money bustling pub. Good selection of drinks and polite attentive bar staff

Much better than than that 'Terroir' nonsense. Nice pub.

I ordered half of San Miguel and they charged me £3. When I asked what a pint was I was told it was £5 so instead of charging £2.50 they rounded it up by another 50p. Extortionate. I've paid an extra 5 or 10 p sometimes for a half but certainly not 50p. I won't go again

Pretty pathetic excuse for a place that serves food and drink. They don't have baby high chairs. Their menu says they serve pasties, but they don't. The chef and manager couldn't even offer some bread to our 15 month old daughter, and we couldn't get her food from outside either. I believed what their menu said and ordered drinks, but when we realised that were lying in their menu we decided to leave. But they still made us pay for the drinks which we didn't even touch, without so much of an apology. If you're looking for a pleasant experience avoid this place, but if you're looking to be insulted and lied to, by all means give them visit You have been warned!

Bar maid is a credit to the pub lovely pud

Liked it...it's very friendly and staff are polite and quick to help

Used to come years ago and it wasn't bad but more of an old man pub vibe. Popped in yesterday with my partner for one and ended up having three or four. Good music, lovely guy behind the bar making ice boats for our gins. (Manager/one of the owners?) Didn't catch his name but he made the experience better. Good banter, made to feel welcome and got to sit in the nook round the corner of the bar like old times. Great place to start the night off. Will be going again.

As always great staff, coping with changes, fabulous environment for a chilled drink with mates.....

Lovely atmosphere attentive staff great wine.

Bit disappointed as I came with my friend after work to have a couple drinks but got greeted by attitude. It was almost as if it was a crime for them to do their job. No good manners whatsoever, couldn’t even crack a smile and could just tell they were rushing us out. Maybe I’ll try again another time when they hire decent friendly staff.

For an average side of the road pub it was a great atmosphere. After the pubs have been closed for so long. Went in for 1 pint but stayed for 4. Table service, and the bar tender Cam was amazing with great banter and very attentive to customers needs. He knew what we wanted before we even ordered and was so nice. We are happy customers and will be back. You are awesome Cam 👌

Plenty of telly's for sport dog friendly! Food overpriced first what you get ie pie peas &gravey £9 !!! (A small pie &peas)two or 3 ales at £4

I went to the D&P on Sunday lunchtime. Covid restrictions meant I had to order a meal. It was a limited range of pies. But the quality was anything but limited they were delicious. I had the mothership steak pie mash mushy peas and cheese topped with crispy shallots accompanied by a full gravy boat which was really great. My daughter had free range chicken ham and leek delicious. Table service was efficient friendly great Covid-19 precautions. We got to watch the football on sky a few beers and excellent comfort food and good safe service.

A decent pub, following all the covid protocols. Normal selection of beers on tap.

Frustratingly I moved out of Didsbury in 2005, and, after turning 18 recently (on March 20th, of all the days I could have turned 18 this year...), was keen to go back to what was once my parents' - and mine, though I was only 3 - local. Even 23 years after my dad first discovered it, and being taken over by Greene King, who don't like to serve ales beyond their own, normally, the pub still serves Timothy Taylor's 'Landlord' pale ale. And it was one of the best I have had in maybe 30 pubs that serve it since July 4th. The service was very good, too.

Pretty standard collection of beers, ok service, lacks a distinct personality...just an average pub.

good atmosphere, friendly staff, wines good too

I love their patties! My dog loves it here.

Too expensive. £4.00 for a pint of bitter. Won't be going there again

I visited the Dog and Partridge once the government allowed. There were excellent Covid-19 precautions in place. Tables were well spaced and clear plastic curtains also used. There was table service provided. Altough a less than usual experience it was still good to enough. Staff were very aware of what to do and gave us a sense of safety. There were hand sanitisers available and social distancing markers. Felt quite relaxed here and will frequent this pub as I feel it is applying good practice.

Perfect place for a few old blokes to meet up on a Saturday night.

Great atmosphere to watch rugby.

This is a nice place for a good pint and watching the sports. The dogs are varied and well behaved. The bar can be a bit loud on Saturdays. Otherwise, I highly recommend going here if you are travelling through the village!

Nice cozy local pub with sky sports. Also only £3.00 a pint for Carlsberg any day.

Two double G&Ts for £10. What's not to like? Nice village pub which was almost ruined when it was turned into a Terroir pub in 2017. Now refocused as a village pub rather than an overpriced cocktail bar, the character has returned.

Ok was cold outside and not much warmer on the inside

Great traditional pub. Lovely to see that dogs are welcome. We will be back.

The place to be after a Salford game!

As expected good drink prices. Problem with grills. Limited menu

Great little pub, friendly staff, good beers and a good gin selection. We came on a Sunday afternoon, it was pretty quiet but the service was good. They show football and also serve pie-minister pies, which smelled delicious.

Very loud after 9pm, no doubt due to people taking advantage of the £3 per pint offer on Thursdays. One bar tender young, polite and helpful, the other perfunctory. Nice and clean. Four stars attributable to the beer offer !

Fantastic pies good music and the barman was a legend

Nice atmosphere and lovely decor, really good gin and tonic offers on too. They do a cheese night on a Wednesday which is lovely, free of charge!

Didsbury is a wonderful place to live, with lots of choice in terms of bars and pubs. However the Dog and Partridge really stands out. The staff are both friendly and professional and you can generally have a good laugh with them. I’ve tried many pubs, in search of a local and although this isn’t my nearest it’s the one that’s won me over with their friendly and professional attitude. The pub has a good selection of beers, wine and spirits (a wide selection of gin!). The highlight really is the cheese night on Wednesdays though. A lovely spread of complimentary cheese, olives and bread.

The staff are friendly enough, have been lovely over the years, but it seems the new owner is not up to customer service nor hygiene. Didsbury has many friendly bars and pubs and I would recommend trying any of the others instead.

Another change in the pubscape, certainly not for the better. Went in to watch the City game on Monday night, asked at bar if game was on and was assured it was. Two minutes until kick off, Sky advert channel still on, music still playing. Texted the party I was meeting there and suggested decamping to Fletcher Moss. Cask/keg ale selection pedestrian. Keg especially, in a city chock full of UKs finest brewers the choice is between Greene King IPA and some faux (Marston's?) Session IPA. Utterly uninspiring. The bottle selection is reasonable - some old bottles of Siren and ubiquitous Belgian macro at hyper inflated prices. Why are decent beer and sport showing pubs mutually incompatible!? Beyond all that, the greatest loss the change of ownership has brought is in the atmosphere. The previous incumbents charm was mainly in their resolute lack of welcome and utter incompatibility with the most basic tenets of bar stewardship, but the D&P seems now lost to wander the wastelands of mediocrity until last orders. Won't be back.

Had some good times here watching the football. Was with a German work colleague one time and the staff were so accommodating by giving them a taster of all the trad beers so they could have a ‘proper’ English pint. Nice, friendly patrons too.

No esta mal pero nunca tienen porta vasos, cuando tomas tu pint siempre te mojas de cerveza, lo demas bien!

Very friendly and helpful staff

A 'terror' pub it says outside... and a terror it is since it was reinvented a year or two back. Lost all the character it had... and it had a fair bit.

Great pub, good wines at very reasonable prices. Staff very friendly.

Very much a local style of pub.

Decent pint of Guinness and only £3 on Tuesdays.

The local pub with good beers at a good price

Friendly staff and good drinks.

Excellent beer, timmy Taylor and brightside, nice atmosphere, nice surroundings, all good.

Great food and accommodating for wheelchair users

Almost 12 months since my first review. There have been some changes since my first visit since the refurbishment. Several changes to staff and the format and not all good I'm afraid. The move away from semi table service (Which was really nice touch) was probably inevitable along with dropping the light snacks. Now we are back to more traditional bags of crisps etc which personally i prefer. The promise of wider range or change to the draft lagers didn't materialise. Even had Praha on the menu briefly without ever actually having it available. The Moretti is still expensive albeit same price as last year I think. Biggest change and most important in my view has been the attitude of staff. Gone are the genuinely friendly people from 12 months ago. Now we have surly young girl who whilst professional is not particularly friendly. Youngsters who spend more time talking to each other rather than looking after the customers and on one occasion discussing openly how much better the Metropolitan is. Not good and not a fair comparison. The little touches now gone like placing paper coasters on the bar before serving the drinks were small but significant. Along with the apparent random opening hours, closed Monday? Late opening Saturdays? Wednesdays? Either the staff are just late getting to work or feels planned it feels like a pub that is in trouble.So much so it has been discussed with my friends with similar angst who visit in the same way. I really hope not and I hope it can recapture the vibe that I felt this time last year. Regular passing trade (me) is confused. That said it's still my favourite but now only just.

Love the new refit! Beautiful bar full of character and great choice of wines. Table service if you want it too

Yee-Olde Pub in the centre of Didsbury that ain't too posh. Decent prices and not too crowded on the Tuesday evening we went to 'talk shop and old colleagues'.

Free nuts. Bar staff wear aprons and the sippers are sound
