The Farmers Arms Swinton in Salford

Lovely place to bring family, always welcoming. Amazing kids Halloween party put on. Owners always go out of way to make you feel at home. Food is lovely

Warm and welcoming pub, gets very busy when football is on but can always find a table, good choice of meals on the menu, reasonably priced, they do a delicious sticky toffee pudding, Car park at rear with an outdoor TV, beer garden at the side, a sun trap in summer. Definitely recommend.

Best pub in Swinton lovely staff make you feel welcome .Mel the landlady makes you feel at home . Beer is spot on great pub for the community of swinton

Fantastic very friendly staff well done

Best pub in the local area, the staff are so friendly and caring. It's always very clean, the beer is fantastic and they can't do enough for dogs either. The atmosphere is phenomenal and the entertainment is incredible, it's the centre of the local community, can't recommend it enough.

Lovely atmosphere, staff are always polite and helpful and go above and beyond to help. Food was fresh and tasty only thing that could make it better is a change of menu more often. Being able to bring the dog with us was great, as they provide water and treats. Definitely be back

Lovely local pub very dog friendly. The staff are very friendly and professional and the chefs do everything they can to accommodate various requirements but I find it disappointing that the menu remains the same continously. It would be perfect if menus changed more frequently and more varied choices were available depending on the time of year/seasonal or things like curry nights, chippy tea nights.

Very poor and inconsistent service. I have been there numerous times for drinks and food and never got asked for identification. Went one Saturday night and they wouldn’t serve me as I had no ID. They served me loads of times. (I am 28) by the way. I hate places that are not consistent with the rules and regulations. Sickening. Very poor service, so it’s ok one day to have a pint and not another ?????? 👎🏻 I am also a local, but will not be returning due to poor standard of service and inconsistency.

Perfect little pub, nice food, friendly staff and a beautiful outdoor area.

Nice pint nice staff and it has a nice bear garden

Said was a real ale pub .only sold John smiths .said was a lovely cheerful landlady .Was the most miserabelist weirdest rude 'Thing ' behind the bar .who didn't smile ...said was dog friendly.was told to go to other bar where there was loads of banging from upstairs ..Glad it was just a toilet stop ..not even sure if they even did food .

New to area, Never visited before, felt very welcome. Very clean pub and everyone was really friendly. Decided to have food and my children can be fussy with food and the chef came and spoke to me about alternative options available to suit my children, she was really pleasant and helpful. Will be returning very soon.

Lovely pub, friendly staff and management, sky sports , out door tv nice atmosphere welcomes families reasonable prices will definitely be coming back

Great pub first time visiting on Thursday evening for a few drink didn't order food so can't leave a review on that but the staff were very friendly and had a great night defo be visiting here again

Clayton and Mel are doing a great job running the pub, always a friendly smile

The staff are always really friendly and accommodating. The food as always was absolutely lovely. The steak was delicious, the mash is always amazing.Good size portions too. Highly recommended

Food was amazing and so nice lovely service and food was soo nice came in with the family and we really enjoyed it. Julies cooking is by far the best ❤️

Amazing food good value for money. Didn't leave hungry ar all. Food tasty. Friendly welcoming staff and and Amazing family and local atmosphere. Will definitely return.

I visited recently for a family meal, the food was delicious and freshly cooked. The staff and Landlady were really friendly and welcoming and I will visit again very soon.

The menu was very disappointing 😞 Service good , quaint little pub, but I won't be going for food again .......it's a shame

The food here is shocking, we had 2 roast chicken dinners and 2 beef dinners, everything on the plates was terrible!! You could have beaten the beef off the wall it was so tough and the chicken well it had died multiple deaths. All the veg, potatoes yorkie pudding out of the freezer. Easily one of the worst meals I have eaten in a very long time, they used to do a great Sunday roast alas this is no longer the case. Very dissatisfied 😒

The pub itself is lovely but the food was terrible! We had the Sunday roast, beef, chicken. Frozen potatoes, Frozen veg, Frozen everything. Cold when it came out! Just bad 👎

Really friendly and nice place! Will visit again!

Very nice local pub. Traditional pub food - I love the sizzling platter menu. They do John Smiths 🍺 they have well located TV screens for sports. Toilets were in good order. I saw people playing darts (can’t remember if I saw a pool table.) staff were friendly & I didn’t wait long for service or for my meal to arrive. Victoria park opposite, which is lovely for a walk after your meal. Popular with dog walkers. They have an outside area undercover with tables too. Limited parking though, I think there is only 5 spaces. Over all though, very pleasant if you enjoy the pub experience.

Me and my friends go on Wednesday nights for the pub quiz and darts and it's always fun and a laugh. Would recommend!!

Great beers and great service. Food isnt bad for a small pub. I would recommend it. Came in Christmas day with a party or 9. Food was fantastic, service was superb and the atmosphere was a pleasure. We'll worth a visit and there going in the right direction of being 1 of my local haunts

Cosy,homely,great service and lovely fresh cooked food.

We only went in for a couple of drinks. Warm friendly atmosphere staff polite, very clean.

Lovely pub and lovely staff and landlords

Ordered mix grill gammon too salty, sausage was ok, no chicken breast instead got 2 tiny chicken wings?? Chips were ok but why would we want salad on a mix grill?. Ordered hunters chicken baguette with chips and Southern fried chicken baguette with chips, again chips ok, baguettes were burnt, chicken chewy and didn't taste like chicken, and drowned in BBQ sauce. Had two pints of carling which wasn't the best.

Had my Dad's wake here last week. The service and atmosphere were spot on. Staff were friendly and considerate. Food was outstanding, it was hot, there was plenty and all cooked and tasted delicious. Intend to visit again soon, for a happier reason. Thank you

Moved into the area and this pub is great. Karaoke, DJ, football inside and outside Staff great, prices ok Like this pub. Gonna be on the weekly bar crawl now across Swinton now

Love the Farmers Arms! Always great food. Great atmosphere! Great entertainment on a weekend and a great quiz on a Wednesday! Family pub and dogs welcome

Love this pub but had food in here last Tuesday, we had to send it back after one bite, it tasted of fumes, we wasn’t offered a refund for the 3 meals that wasn’t eaten, we was given a free drink, the day after we were all poorly, such a shame, the food used to be nice.

In a word rubbish burger was dry ,the bun at best was not fresh, chips was oven chips and not very good ones at that . Would not recommend the place or go there again 😞

Friendly pub but food all fried so not much to choose if you don't like that. They do small portions and kiddies meals. Prices are reasonable, some cheap.

Went to the farmers arms for food and it was so nice and worth the money. The staff are lovely and polite as are the landlords. I will definitely be back and I would recommend the pub to others. They even do a quiz on a Wednesday night which is a right laugh.

Love it there. Good food and fabulous staff x

Food here was top notch. I chose the chippy dinner which had so much food on the plate. Fish, chips, battered sausage, bread... All at a reasonable price. I want to go again soon so that I can have that meal again!

Good atmosphere freindly staff good service .. did not try the food

the service at farmers arms is always amazing louis and mellisa was so lovely. always an amazing time when i come here.

Lovely pub and beer garden.Friendly staff and a good atmosphere.

Love the food in there and I’m glad that dogs are allowed in as long they are behaved, next time I will take my dog and have something to eat again and the atmosphere is good too x

Came here last Saturday with husband and son. We bought drinks and was planning on having food.I didnt buy my son a coke as he had half can of coke left from a school fair we went to. The young girl behind the bar said the manager has informed her to tell us no cans allowed , i understand nothing should be brought on the premises but i wont buy him a coke at this point when hes still drinking and i was planning on buying him a drink anyway and obviously food. Looking back i should have gone elsewhere as this seemed so petty and my sons a nine year old child.Didnt see the manager but was obviously watching us on cctv, nothing better to do!. If management has changed recently this pub is certainly not child friendly. The food was lovely the chicken combo. Thanks to the young lad who gave me sweets for my son when i lost a pound in the sweet machine. If this attitude is like this with families avoid.Wont be back anytime soon disappointing.

Great friendly landlady. Good service

Not great meals were not the best

amazing family pub , all staff very welcoming , great food , all round amazing pub! :)

Big big thank u to the whole team at farmers, came tonight with partner an had amazing Sunday dinner and stayed for karaoke an had amazing night great place, family vibes an homely feel.

Not been for years, the place was full atmosphere was great although I thought the karaoke was rubbish but dj was great

Great Food and great choice of beers

I've given it 5 stars as I can't remember being in here as I was slightly worse for the wear...🍺🍺

We came for Christmas dinner as a large booking had a wonderful night highly recommend staff were so accommodating and all food and drink was excellent Excellent price And a really lovely atmosphere Many thanks for all your hard work that will have go into providing such excellent service

A reasonable menu for Christmas Dinner

Food was lovely. Pretty little place.

Lovely cosy pub with a good selection of drinks and food. A great local with congenial host who ask how their guests are. There's a great beer garden here too. Ideal for summer nights for drinks and friends, & plenty of screens if you like sports 😁

Presentation food on plate was rubbish chicken overcooked beef was chewy, gammon very fatty

Service absolutely shocking,not clean stay well clear

Not the best pub, much better places to drink in Swinton

Nice place for a drink, didn't try their food as the chef was off. Staffs are friendly and dog allowed. Will visit again next time.

The place just isn’t the same after Tracy and Red left. It’s become a bit of a dump, standards have totally dropped and the atmosphere has totally changed. The place feels too crowded with larger tables and the bar always looks dirty and full of glasses. Think I’ll be looking for a new local 👎🏼

Quiet for a Saturday evening, maybe it was still a bit early. The usual great service and surroundings tho

The Farmers Arms is our local pub and we couldn't ask for a nicer place. It's gone through some tough times and a change of management, but always has a good atmosphere, friendly staff and good food. They've been showing the Women's euros matches recently which has been great and generally I've never had a bad experience there.

Nice enough place to sit and have a drink with friends. I've been back a couple of times and would go again. Toilets are clean and staff are friendly. Odd thing is they stop serving food really early. We arrived at around 4.30 on a Saturday afternoon and they had already finished. Nice drinks though and write a cosy place to sit. They have a piano of you want to play. No parking to speak of available on site, but plenty of street parking around about.

We went for a family Sunday lunch to this pub twice a few months ago. Not many of us live locally any more but my Mam was in a (great) care home nearby (Fountains). The care and consideration of the Farmer's staff was exemplary given the circumstances of our visits and they couldn't have done more to make us as comfortable as possible. On our second visit, two of my lads played piano for their Grandma for the last time, each getting a round of applause from the locals. These are bittersweet memories of course, but treasured nevertheless. The beer was great, the food was great. If the people that run the Farmer's read this, I'd like to say 'thank you'. To everybody else, I'd like to say 'go there'.

Far too noisy unable to have conversation, building is lovely but need to bring back to a pub where people can meet, have conversations without having to shout.

First time in the Farmers Arms even though we drive/walk past all the time and keep saying we should call in. So glad we decided to go last night. We had a brilliant time. We was only going to have a few drinks then move on to different pubs but it was so good with the DJ and karaoke that we decided to stay all night. Brilliant atmosphere with everyone singing and dancing. Fantastic night, will definitely be returning soon. Thank you to the lovely staff too.

This was not a good day at the Farmers. We had booked for meal and hadn't been notified that the kitchen was closed. On arrival the person behind the bar said she was sorry but unfortunately hadn't contacted me, myself and seven others had to quickly fined somewhere else to go. It was a birthday lunch and most ot the group was on public transport. Prior to that day we had been in and it was fantastic.

Since Tracy and Red have left ot has gone downhill No table collection. Don't even know who is running the place now as they have never introduced themselves. Always seems like they never have enough staff to look after the place. It was such a great pub but we will not be going again after many years xx

Good local pub. Used to have great food and atmosphere. Seems to have gone more like a corporate pub. Food is now average pub grub. Drinks not so bad.

A good pub. But seems to be lacking a little something since the lockdowns. Used to be a very welcoming and ultra friendly place. That did excellent food to boot. It seems to have become very much like most chain pubs. Which is a shame. Usually gets a really nice crowd in this pub. Is still worth a visit. Although the food is now basic pub grub.

Came here for a meal with my partner and his mum. Started off well. Seemed busy with lots of people drinking, not many eating, nicely designed. We ordered at the bar and it went down hill from there. Food took an hour to arrive, only one other table ordered food as well as us. When my burger came out I went to add sauce to it to see there was no cheese (which I ordered) until I flipped it. No word of a lie it was almost black. The whole one side was completely burnt. The onion rings were also charred. When I showed the waitress I was greeted with "That's just the cheese" (like I was a child and didn't know what cheese or a burnt burger looked like-she said it very patronising) I had to physically tear the burger to show her it was burnt. She looked at me and went fine I'll get you another. Cool, attitude. My partner and his mother were missing things from their plates as well. When my partner tried to grab the same waitress' attention she looked right at him and ignored him. His mum then managed to grab her and she just said "yeah it's on its way" ok that's nice but that wasn't why we grabbed you. My food eventually was delivered by a different lady when my partner pointed out the missing items. She just went "well do you want me to get you it or?" We promptly ate and left. No apology. No offer of a free drink/pudding and certainly no offer for a refund. Had the burger had just come out burnt and I was greeted with an "So sorry for that I'll get the chef to do a new one" rather than the waitress and the chef trying to hide the obviously burnt food then It could have been better. The food was passable at best. The only thing that left a bad taste in my mouth was the attitude from the staff. I don't know if it was because we weren't regulars? We certainly will not be after that experience. Shame as well as it's decorated nicely with an outdoor area. And may I just add I worked in hospitality front of house for 15 years, my brother is a chef. He wouldn't have sent that out, I wouldn't have tried to make out the customer was stupid. It really doesn't take much to just go I'm so sorry I'll get a new one for you.

Food took forever to come out, cheese was burned to the burger(!?!) Curry was missing a few things listed on the menu. Waitress was unsympathetic and the manager couldn't be bothered to splutter out an apology. The place isn't even that busy.

My food ok, wife's food badly prepared

Excellent food and an exceptionally clean pub with a pleasant beer garden to the rear.

Nice Small local pub, reasonable prices and the staff and customers are all friendly, nice outdoor seating area aswell.

Live entertainment, nice atmosphere friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

I absolutely love coming into the farmers, the atmosphere is always lovely! Tracey and her husband (landlord and lady) are really friendly, they take their time to get to know their customers on a personal level and are always amazing with our 2 year old son. The food is always delicious and reasonably priced. It’s very quickly become one of our favourite local pubs as we just find it a really homely place. I highly recommend people to visit this pub if you haven’t already.

Amazing pub. Had some great quality, tasty food, decent prices and super friendly landlady. Definitely recommend.

Good range of beer varied entertainment

Food was excellent cooked perfectly

Chicken baguette was cold and not very appetising

Quite good food and service was very good beer was good

Great atmosphere and friendly bar staff

Really nice atmosphere and friendly staff, would definitely visit again!

Welcome place great service and top DJ

Enjoyed our christmas dinner value for money and the cocktail purchased and recommended by the landlady called... christmas in a glass was fab Landlady was lovely and took time out to ensure all was great from start to finish, no rushing after each course to get you our the door. Lovely place and will return thank you for an enjoyable day.

Looks tiny from the outside but actually cosy and big enough on the inside. Another relaxing swinton pub to get away from it all.

Lovely pub went to meet up up with my brothers as I live in Newton heath (posh end)it was a nice change excellent beers excellent service very clean recommended Honest mick

Lovely cosy pub ...friendly staff & landlord.. Have a really nice garden too.

Excellent night out in the farmers, very clean, friendly staff, good karaoke music. They also have a good food menu to choose from.

Best pub In Swinton thanks to Tracey, red and all of the staff

Lovely friendly staff, and delicious food ,

Nice beer at a good price food looked good from what I saw

Really nice place. Friendly atmosphere.

What a lovely pub nice food and the landlord and landlady were very warm and friendly can't fault the place I anyway.

Great traditional pub with a good selection of food and drink topped off with a great atmosphere.

It's a cute little pub, but odd to get into especially if never been before. Avg prices, clean, friendly staff but didn't feel very comfortable as new faces among a crowd of people who were regulars. Food was nice.

What a treat The Farmers really is. So welcoming from arriving to leaving. Food is so lovely, especially the quality burgers 😋 Prices for food and drinks are very reasonable too. Always a nice atmosphere and a warm welcome. Such a lovely cozy environment to sit and relax. Loads of screens to watch sport or listen to music ⚽ 🎶 Tracey, Red and the team are amazing. Well done to the whole team 👍🏻

Nice food and a good price. Tracey is a fabulous host as is Red her husband.They have done an excellent job in turning The Farmers around - a really nice pub to visit now

Fantastic staff, really friendly and quick service, cannot ask for more than this.
