Just like any Witherspoons apart from no toilet paper in gents toilets take you own like l did.Staff need to check this more often you should not have to tell them.

I have been frequenting the eccles cross for the best part of 20 years but am now debating whether to come here again .I always order my drinks and food via the app; normally the service is excellent but today I received the worst service of my life.a ginger haired woman brought over my drink,she slammed it down on the table without any acknowledgement. I gave her my previous pint to take away ,and she proceeded to snatch it off me without any eye contact. This made me feel not angry but upset that a long standing regular could be treated so rudely in this way,as if my custom is not wanted.if this is how wetherspoons treat their regular customers at a time when the pub industry is struggling in general,I would remind them that there is plenty of alternative locations ,even if they are more expensive. I would not like to stop coming in here,but the management must reiterate to their staff that customer service is an essential part of the job

No toaster working on Wednesday, today we come in and there’s no clean cups and apparently no staff to wash any! Food is good depending on who is cooking. Some days it’s fab, others very hit and miss but main issue is it’s usually cold! Many times had to wander around looking for Mayo after asking and being told “I put 3 new ones out earlier”!!!!

If you want to go out for a few drinks in a safe environment, this is not for you. But if you want to see the worst society has to offer and buy some cheap bacon, coffee or cheese that a local snack rat has pinched from Morrisons, then this is the place to be.

Been in here quite a few times before rugby match my son educated me on using the app to get served quickly Got to say chicken wings the best I’ve tried them in other spoons but they don’t come any better than here It’s probably not the cleanest place to be in but before you complain too much try other pubs in Eccles

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Reading some of the comments I thought the food would be disappointing but it was anything but. I ordered two grilled half chickens with chips and the chicken was amazing. The meat was perfectly done sliding off the bone easily, it was very tasty also. We had cobra and gin for drinks very good also. One small minus is I had to changw my beer glass because i thought it wasn't properly cleaned, but the staff changed it immediately with a nice one. For desert we had chocolate brownie and chocolate fudge with vanilla ice cream, both were delicious. I think the staff here decided to up their game because I was pleasantly surprised by the quantity and quality of food. For the money I don't think you can do any better. Really happy with my choice tonight in Eccles Cross.

We had a meal of gammon and eggs but unfortunately I left most of the gammon as it wasn't good at all. The fried egg with it was overcooked. The only good part was the chips. Service was quick even though it was busy. Standards have lowered since my last vist. I did wonder if this was mostly a microwave meal due to the poor quality.

The wetherspoons in Eccles, must be one of the best in the country for people watching. When Manchester United won the cup winners cup, in 1991, the parade to show off the trophy, started in patricroft and went through Eccles. It was chaos in the streets with people celebrating. It was so good/bad, the police said no more united parades can ever go through Eccles. The Eccles cross can resemble that night, weekend after weekend. Fantastic place.

Occasionally used this pub over the last 20 odd years And on my most recent visit I noticed the rear entrance had been fenced off. When I asked what appeared to be the Manager? Why the rear access rout had been blocked ? His reply was it just Has. This is a pub you can easily avoid using & I think I will be.

I came here yesterday with two friends and ordered a significant amount of food. As always the price is very reasonable and the food was lovely, however our garlic flatbread was quite badly burned on the bottom and rock hard. We only had to wait about 5 minutes for our drinks after ordering via the app, and around 25 minutes for food. The location is quite difficult to get to as only buses are allowed down that road, however it is directly next to a tram stop and a bus interchange which is highly convenient. Overall wonderful experience, would recommend and would definitely choose to eat here again.

Spent a pleasant evening recently in the Eccles Cross. We placed our food and drinks orders using the mobile phone app and we were served at our table promptly and efficiently by Amber on each occasion. I have to say I was awestruck by her enthusiasm. A more hardworking and energetic member of staff, who's constantly on the go, tidying and clearing the other tables, yet has time for her customers and who clearly is super-organised, you would find difficult to find. Amber deserves a medal. Please treat her well.

The food was of a standard we would have expected from the change.The place was dirty from restraunt to toilets very poor staffing however when we asked a young man to clean our table he was happy to do so and did it well. The bar staff we meet did their job but no banter or verbal exchange.For all the pub was turning over(not busy) tables were not cleared or cleaned and staff did seem to be available to carry out general chores. If it was my first visit to the chain I would not be back.

Some people moan about nothing on these reviews but I will say for the price you pay for a meal including a drink!! The food is great, everyday there is a set menu to choose if you want it's a give away price... and the beer is always good quality supporting local micro brewers at good prices. The only negative is cheap beer means sometimes you do get the occasional heavy drinker!!!.

Last Sunday I had a late meal and a couple of drinks. The drinks were fine served in clean glasses. The chicken and bacon panini I had appeared to be some sort of pre mixed filling. Later that evening I threw up and I have no doubt it was that filling. I have eaten there before and it’s been ok, but negative comments about food are generally ignored by the table staff.

I was about to go to my friend Barabaras 60th birthday party at the Malaga nearby . Another friend,Steve,lives in Eccles so had a quick chat with him here before the party. Possibly predictably, I had the 10 Oz gammon, chips with peas tomato and peas. The fried egg is not my thing and unfortunately there is no pineapple option. See I can do fruit (!) Weathespoons is a bit of a staple with me and you get the drink included , an ale called 'This is Eccles' which was nice. All round good and Steve was happy too.

It is a Wetherspoons and not a bad one, as far as chioice of beers and the usual menu are concerned. But it was the last Sunday of the season. I can just about put up with all the foreigners, the "fans" who have no connection with M/c, but why do they have to be so much in your face when they have won bugger all??????The worst part of our visit was the disbled toilet, the door of which had to be left open to mitigate the stink in there. It did not seem to have been inspected at 11am nor at midday, perhaps because of all the Red devil ale carts at the bar???? Eventually it was tidied up. I have no doubt that the culprit is well known to the staff.... There is leeway and there is leeway.....

I went along to the Eccles Cross on one of their Tuesday steak nights, not really expecting much, but was very pleasantly surprised. I went for the 14 oz rump steak, which, with a pint, came to around £9:00. I was so impressed I went along the following Tuesday and tried the same again, just to be sure, how far I go in the name of research eh? Once again it was a decent piece of meat, cooked to my liking, and served by personable enough staff.

We've been drinking in this pub for a few years now and have to say that since the refurbishment the pub is even better. We love meeting up for drinks in the Eccles cross before going to town and we've also started eating here. Food is always great and comes quickly! We've been coming in more often since the pub has had a change of manager the pub has a great atmosphere & the staff and managers are always really friendly. Big thumbs up from us. Cheap drinks, cheap food and good quality :)

Since Jan left this place has gone down the pan. Food is shocking. Had a steak a few weeks ago which I requested be cooked medium rare and turned up on my plate looking like an old leather shoe. Went again on Monday hoping last time was just one of those things but no, the food was equally as bad. There is a waiter who appears to have anger issues, he was banding chairs around and muttering to himself as he was tidying up then came to my table demanding a specials leaflet without actually asking me if I could kindly pass it to him! I used to love going in this place and taking my granddaughter in for fish and chips but I think I will give it a wide berth from now on until Wetherspoons get it sorted! Don't waste your money

What a joke...got in at 9.15am and sat down with my family. Ordered breakfast at the bar, all seemed well. Went to sit back down and I saw people returning their food....not a great impression but these things happen and didn't think much else until it was our turn to get the food.....the waitress came out with a full breakfast minus the hash browns (the only breakfast for our table to come out) asked for the hash browns and the waitress was quite rude and said you didn't want them when you ordered......turns out that breakfast was for another table who by this time were complaining about the quality of one of their breakfasts and complaining the other hadn't come out.....the hash browns came out without an apology. The waitress was extremely sarcastic and huffed and puffed a lot even shouting at the kitchen staff because apparently they mucked up. Our tables breakfast came after about 15 mins....the waitress put down one plate and I said the other was for me, she tutted because she was on the other side of the table and when my Aunty apologised out of awkwardness the waitress sarcastically said it gets her moving around (or something to that degree)My food was stone cold, eggs were runny which was nice but the hollandaise sauce had split and the salmon portion was pathetic. I couldn't be bothered complaining as I was hungry and had a train to catch. We had children with us and they were a little mischievous but not naughty....the same came over to the table slapped some colouring crayons and paper down and told them to draw with the most awful attitude oh dear, to be honest I just laughed at her, she clearly didn't want to be there to be honest I don't think I'd enjoy that job either. This place wasn't busy but other tables just seemed really disgruntled as their food was also cold. Waitress just didn't care. As I walked out I went to complain but the manager saw me coming and scarpered.....to be honest, I don't think they would have given two hoots anyways. I thought the whole thing was laughable and just thought I won't be going back here again

I like to go in at least once a month as they do a lovely Breakfast and free coffee refills & it’s very reasonable regards to prices. It’s recently had a refit so nice inside & very clean plus the tram station is right outside

I've been to lots of wetherspoons around the country. The food is generally of a similar standard however this one was a little below par. The place was a bit untidy and the table needed to be cleaned. All the menus (and we had 6) were all sticky. Perhaps the manager just need to get a grip on the staff and I'm sure it would be fine. Cheese and tomato toasty lacking cheese and other dished had dressings spilt on plates and ramekins. Not what I expect from a spoons.

We had never visited before. When we turned up we were pleasantly surprised by the outside appearance. It looked really nice and newly refurbished.We went inside and liked the layout and the size of the place. It looked quite well decorated and we knew the drinks would be reasonable as you know what your getting from Wetherspoons.We sat down to have our drink before we were meeting some friends for a meal and started to look around.We noticed the place was filthy. Every table was dirty no glasses had been collected and there were lots of flies about. You don't get so many flies in the middle of winter from not cleaning one night so presumed it had not been cleaned in a while. Even the glasses they gave us were not clean.the staff were friendly and the place is cheap so if you don't mind sitting on dirty seats at dirty tables to drink from dirty glasses you will be fine.we did come back in a few hours later and although it was no better it was also no worse.

Order two breakfasts, they happily swapped things for us that we didn't want on it, didn't wait too long although was taken to the wrong table first and we had to shout them over to us. Food was nice Was cheap an good portions. It is a bit of an old mans pub though, with lots of burping,coughing and smell of stale smoke, but good enough for a quick brekky and to get out of there

I have reviewed the Eccles Cross already, but it has since been closed for a complete re-fit. Everything is new, lights, carpets, furniture, and the food is great, the drinks cheap, smiling cheerful waiters. Since it re-opened two weeks ago I have been with friends 5 times. Had the chicken dinner twice, roast beef once , fish and chips once, all cooked to perfection. BUT .. sad to say.. the brand new toilets are already starting to smell bad. There is no excuse for this. A bucket of hot water, a mop, and Jeyes Fluid is all thats needed. Action Please!

Had the "ultimate breakfast" this morning, well the hash browns and black puddings were seriously dry overcooked and probably cooked an hour before serving, the eggs were swimming in grease and the mushrooms were still raw, I left the majority of it, Ultimate is a obviously a reference to size rather than quality but therefor kind of irrelevant if you can only stomach half of it

Henry’s has recently reopened after renovations so this was our first visit for a while and I was pleasantly surprised. The bar area has much more space than before and comfy seating. We went for lunch and our food arrived in a reasonable time. We all had different meals and they were all hot and nicely served. There was a good choice of desserts and we would all recommend the crushed mince pie sundae from the Christmas menu, it was excellent! The young woman behind the bar was friendly and we had a bit of banter as we were ordering and the manager who brought our meals to the table was also friendly and pleasant. The food was reasonably priced and I would happily pay them another visit soon. Definitely would recommend them for a nice lunchtime visit.

I stayed in the Holiday Inn Manchester West for 2 nights from 1-3 Sep/23. They offered free car park at reservation online. The Hotel reception is accessed by clients walking or by car through a car park contained within the Hotel walls, which anyone would think is part/property of the Hotel. So I followed the signs and parked in the designated spaces for the Hotel clients. When I checked in reception I was not informed I had to register my car in a self-service touch screen device during the period of my stay. Later after I returned home I received several penalty notices for parking in the Hotel car park. My penalty notice appeals where declined by the Holiday Inn Car park administrators. More than 1 year later they want to force me to pay with interest the several penalty notices they issued knowing I was entitled to free car park while I was staying in the Hotel. This raises the strong suspicion there could be a scam by the Holiday Inn Manchester west and its car park to extort money from their clients.
