Después de la comida, tome una copa en el Travelodge cercano (5 minutos a pie). Una de las mejores Wetherspoons - acaba de tomar bebidas, pero el lugar estaba limpio y ordenado y el personal era agradable. Iría de nuevo.

I ordered the lasagne and you could tell it wasn't home made but a frozen one, that had been microwaved a bit too long as one side was dry.

We generally like the place and it's cheap offering on food, however, a lot of the time they don't have things available. They haven't had orange juice in for the last few days which I find very odd indeed.

Staff had a couldn’t be bothered attitude leaning on pumps while serving customers, on mobile phones while customer were stood at bar waiting to be served. No responsible drinking as 2 men ordered 8 drinks between them and in less than 40 mins ordered another 8, one customer even went to the bar and commented on how many drinks this guy had on his table. Reported all this to the manager and the response was “I didn’t serve them” what a shambles Wetherspoons have very strict policy’s on responsible drinking and customer service and know from experience staff are trained in both areas. Wetherspoons need to sort this pub out before someone’s licence gets taken away. Audits are needed. You only need to look at how many bad reviews this place has to realise somthing isn’t working.

Muy decepcionado esperó más de una hora para los desayunos, para recibirlos fríos y comida que falta en algunos pedidos. Le dijo a la servidora que la comida estaba fría a lo que ella respondió ‘lo sé lo siento’ inaceptable. No hay oferta para resolver el problema o reembolsar el desayuno.

Waited just over an hour and half for 6 breakfasts, for them to come out cold and missing some bits of food from the ordere. Understand that they was understaffed but cold food shouldn’t be acceptable. Mentioned to one of the girls who was lovely and totally understand it’s not her fault but there was no offer to sort the issue or refund the breakfasts.

Be careful in this pub going to the toilet (if you’re a male). A manager here called Chris (just recently started working here) followed me into the toilet with his phone in his hand. He didn’t use the toilet, he stood out of sight next to the urinals with his phone in his hand. You’ll notice there are a lot of mirrors in the men’s toilets which is why I felt so uncomfortable. I challenged this man infront of staff when sat back down about him following me inside the men’s toilet with his phone on camera mode. Chris refused to give me his name (i wanted to make a complaint about him) I had to ask another member of staff for his name. Two weeks later the same man has refused me entry into this pub. I’d also be very careful eating here, you may notice rodents on your visit, running around and behind the fruit machines near the kitchen doors.

It was a busy Sunday and the pub was full and the regulars were brilliant and so friendly unfortunately the same can't be said for some of the staff who seemed to cave under the busy period and decided to take their frustration out on paying customers. Slamming down drinks and stamping feet with rudeness made us feel unwelcome so we left to find another pub.

Sadly, I just had the worst ever Spoons breakfast at the Gateway. Compared to other Spoons I have eaten at, this place was definitely below the standard I've come to expect from them. The food was luke warm and the eggs had obviously been sat under a heat lamp for a while. We were staying at the Travelodge nearby. I know the area well and regret not walking into Didsbury village where there are lots of nice cafes for breakfast.

Have been here several times now, food is usually decent but the waiting times can be a bit 'hit & miss'. Last time we visited it took nearly an hour for the breakfast food to arrive and when it did most of the food was lukewarm. Probably won't go back for breakfast or lunch, but would maybe visit again for an evening meal if we were passing and not in any sort of rush ;)

I tried this place for first time, and I did expect the breakfast service to be fast as in other chain restaurants. I order a Full English Breakfast with some adds on. I HAVE TO WAIT 35 MIN for breakfast, was the longest waiting time for this kind of service. On top of that wasn't complete and the cutlery came greasy. The mug for coffee was dirty. There are small details where staff should look and provide a decent service. Very disappointed. There are some good points, parking spots for customers.

Overzealous manager , which seems to be the theme at weatherspoons. Is this a lack of in house training? I felt discriminated by the female manager as soon as I challenged her , I purchased an alcoholic beverage for my 17yo son to accompany his meal, as I understand the government guidelines suggests there is nothing untoward. As soon as I had read your policy your manager begrudgingly gave me access to I decided to drink the drink myself and had no bad feelings towards the young lady. But... narrsasitic comes to mind from her reaction after been challenged, clearly feels she was better than me and my family, I felt so upset the way she b-lined to me when I returned to the bar for another drink, shouting at me that she wasn't serving a member of my party, my reaction "please don't tell me, tell the person himself, who is an adult. I genuinely feel this young lady would benefit from some extra training, or maybe even some training , maybe she has had a lot of responsibility put upon her and is unable to deal with minor situations in the correct manner. As always the food was top drawer, the waiter very plesent , please help this young manager to correctly fill her position. Thanks

This place has sunk down to a new level. The food was served cold on 3 out of four meals, there was a mix up with 3 meals including items missing, when we enquired they never once apologised and just slung the items down on the table. Mr Wetherspoon has cut the food menu and the tiny burgers are a joke, the prices rocketed and the quality is worse than Iceland. The waiters were running around like the three stooges yet it wasn't even busy. I won't be spending money in here again.

I rarely write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience at The Lost Dene because I genuinely believe it has the potential to be a great establishment with just a little more focus on customer care. While it's in a fantastic location and could be a welcoming spot, my visit was unfortunately let down by poor service, which had a noticeable impact on the overall atmosphere. The issue arose when I ordered a burger meal through your app. The signage around the pub, as well as the app itself, clearly states that a drink is included with all burger meals. However, when placing my order through the app, there was no option to select a drink. I assumed this might be prompted at the end of the transaction, as certain drinks may not be included in the offer, but I expected some sort of selection process. When I realised no drink had been added, I went to the bar to clarify the situation. I spoke to a young man with short black hair and explained that the app did not provide an option to select a drink, despite the offer being clearly advertised. I asked if he could provide a Coke, as part of the meal deal. Unfortunately, he refused, stating that I should have added the drink separately on the app. This was not made clear anywhere, and given that there are usually limitations on which drinks are included in meal deals, I had expected some guidance during the ordering process. What made the situation worse was his attitude. Instead of trying to understand the confusion or offer any assistance, he dismissed my concern outright, saying, “It’s not my problem.” When I asked if he was the manager, he admitted he wasn’t but said, “You can try with the manager, but he’ll probably say no.” Thankfully, when I spoke to the manager, he resolved the issue immediately with no hesitation, which I greatly appreciate. However, the lack of customer service, empathy, and professionalism from the first staff member was incredibly disappointing. A simple misunderstanding could have been handled in a much more professional and helpful way, but instead, the interaction put a real damper on my visit. Additionally, I couldn’t help but notice another member of staff, a gentleman wearing a red checkered shirt, who appeared visibly unhappy and disengaged. He seemed frustrated and unapproachable, which made for quite an uncomfortable atmosphere. I completely understand that everyone has bad days, but in a hospitality setting, customer service is key. If there are any underlying issues affecting staff morale, it may be worth checking in with him. However, if this is simply his approach to customer service, it might be worth considering whether this role is the right fit. I wanted to bring this to your attention in the hope that staff can be trained to handle customer interactions with more understanding and professionalism. The Lost Dene has a lot of potential, but poor service like this can really discourage people from returning. I appreciate your time in reading this and hope my feedback is helpful.

What a hidden gem in the city centre of Manchester. All you can eat Lunch for £8.50 between 12noon till 2pm. Including a drink £10.50 (beer or soft drink your choice). Their menu change every day and today we had chilli con carne, roast chicken, fish goujons with a lot of sides your choice, salad and cakes for desert. I will be back as this was just a bargain. The place has been running for years and I wish I knew about it earlier.
