The Henry Boddington in Salford

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.

Much improved since the refurb, we were a group of 7. We were served at the bar by Matthew who was friendly and very efficient at sorting our drinks & food order. Food arrived quick even though it was busy at the time. 4 of us ordered the curry feast and this was the best meal I've had in here. The kids enjoyed there meals and we also had desserts who I heard were made by Daisy, all were great. The pub was very busy at this time but it's good to see there was enough staff on for this and they are not overwhelmed I hope this carries on.if I have to be picky I think your curry feast meal would of benefited from having onion bhaji & pakora and ditch the salad, some feedback for your development chefs.

Although we have been a few times we hadn’t been for a while, this visit the staff were lovely and the food was gorgeous, we just found the overall experience really nice. Thank you.

Excellent service with very good food at a good price

Great refurb, good for food and drinks

Absolutely shocking and we've booked a table a week ahead and the whole pub was hammered without telling me or my friends. So we have to leave. They really need to sort their booking out soon or later

The staff are very friendly. The food is very, very good. It's a good pint also. Give it ago .

Had a refurb and change of menu. We had the fish and chips which were under cooked on our mind . Left most of it. Did tell the server would apologised " sorry about that" . Nice refurb but sorry won't be visiting again.

Very good food Friendly staff and knowledgeable of the local area especially boss lady Amanda! Decent selection of drinks. Nice decor with its recent renovation. Fast pool table.

Great food and drink. Friendly staff.

Very good atmosphere for a drink after work. beautifully decorated and refreshed. The outside area must be amazing to be when the weather allows it. I've not eaten this time but looking at the menu will definitely go back soon for a taste.

Delicious food very quick and nice service big recommendation 😍

Me and my partner where staying in the premier inn next door for a few nights and on our last night we decided to book a table with these. Which I knew it was a bad mistake as soon as we got seated. There was clearly stains and grease left over on the table from the previous customer which hasn't been cleaned or wiped and we've just been seated down. After deciding to give this a pass we just ordered our foods which taken them 25 minutes to serve which I found was ridiculous considering our order was just 2 burger meals and a side. More over upon waiting for our food we noticed there wasn't any fresh cutlery on our table and the ones that where was used aswell as they where placed in that pot without any napkins.. the waiters also looked so out of place and just chucked the food and drinks on the table everytime they brought it out. It felt very un pleasant and dirty form start to finish.

Love the new pub! Refurbished amazing totally different pub and atmosphere!

Food was awful steaks overdone Replaced with chicken curry That was powdery and awful too plus no rice available Just way below expectations

Thought the refurbishment might have given the establishment a lift.. very disappointed with the food and beer..

Nice pub food was good staff were lovely to, would eat here again.

Food came amazingly quickly and piping hot. Olivia was amazing, taking my order at the table.

Not tried the food yet but the Berry sour cocktail is my new favourite drink "discovered there"

Had a lovely meal this afternoon. Great atmosphere and polite staff. Cheers 🍻

Great, place, undergoing renovation work so may temporally close.

Great pub, come in for mainly drinks but was peckish so i ordered some food and that was just as good. Would recommend to family and friends

Always come in for drinks and i’ve never had a problem with anything. The staff behind the bar are always lovely and welcoming couldnt think of a better place to go and have a nice drink

I ordered the rib platter which cost 18.29 it says on the menu it’s comes with 2 ribs and it only come with one The ribs where chewy the mac and cheese was just pasta with cheese melted on top of it The Dinning room has all little midgey flies flying around I won’t be coming back here

The staff was amazing as always, very friendly and great to have a chat too. would definitely recommend and will be telling my family and friends.

Food was fantastic x staff very friendly x

Great family friendly pub with great food and extremely friendly staff. Would definitely recommend for families and get togethers with friends

Staff were Fab, Area was brilliant and food was lovely, No improvements needed.

Would have given 0 star if I could. Queued up to order but had to left as they told us they don’t serve outdoor seating ( we just saw them serving next table with full meals as well as desert) and the waiting time is 30 mins (the pub is not full ) Staffs are rude. They do not care about the customer. Stooding there waiting to be served while they were doing talking !!

Great place - great food at a really decent price. Nice and quiet despite quite a few others being present. Staff lovely and friendly.

We didn't eat just had drinks with friends great service .

Pleasant atmosphere; pleasant staff; good food; good value.

Great place to watch football staff worked hard great atmosphere good pub food was nice we ordered burgers quick service tasty food and England won great visit all in all

Food is amazing service is great all staff are friendly

Ate here in the first time in years and have to say that the food (jerk chicken skewers) was fantastic 😋 👌

6 of us meet monthly and was our 3rd visit to Henry Boddington. The music was so loud and was so disappointing that we found it difficult to hold conversations.

Sizzle steak absolutely delicious My wife had the seasond salmon both were delicious... great bar staff friendly atmosphere all staff really welcoming would recommend this pub

Menu and food very good the food was well cooked with generous portions the downside was for a pub named after a famous brewer they had no boddingtons or any other bitter just lager and Cider but the food made up for it

Food was ok despite the burning smells coming from the kitchen... I would say a little over priced for what it was. Service was very slow but ok. Unfortunately the main restaurant seating area was closed despite it being Saturday afternoon, we had to sit in the bar area for a meal. Which was disappointing and frustrating. Atmosphere was terrible - music blaring far too loud whilst customers were trying to talk which resulted in everyone in the bar practically yelling at each other, so not a great place to grab a bite to eat and catch up with friends and family.

Quite good but went to order food and found it was sold out spent time to reorder plus some people who had been to a funeral were over loud

Lovely birthday tea, staff were friendly and helpful 😊

great food nice bar staff friendly pub

Really nice food! We almost didn't go as the app said it had no availability, we called and they reserved us a table, when we got there it was empty, I think they need to reset the online preferences. Service was good depending on who you got serving you. You could tell who had been there a while and was having a chat. But at one point 5 meals (out of 6) came out and the staff just walked away, we waited a while but I had to go and ask at the bar about the other meal to be told it would be out soon. We also asked for extra spoons with desert that never arrived. I've still given 4 stars for service as it was only those two instances, and the more experienced staff made up for the mistakes made.

Not been in for a year or 2 but glad to say the food improved massively mixed grill was lovely

A great place to go and eat. We just moved to the area and live around the corner, we tried it on a whim and found it to be one of the best places to eat that we have been to. The food is of very good quality, far better than normal pub fare. We're not too keen on the atmosphere, but that is more because of the customers, they don't seem to be the friendliest lot, not moving out of your way if you need to get past, and you get a lot of stares if you're not a regular, but that's not the pubs fault. I just reflect it in my review to prepare anyone trying the place for the first time.

This place used to be really busy, it gone really down

Cannot fault a thing. Food is always hot and tasty. Service is second to none and the atmosphere is brilliant. Table 25 in particular is wonderful. Can’t recommend enough.

All staff members try their best to make everyone happy! Great selection of food, love that you get free parking when putting your reg in at the bar

Amazing atmosphere. Always greeted with a friendly manner from each member of staff. Will be visiting again

Excellent service and excellent Food

We popped in for an early dinner and enjoyed a good selection of meals at a reasonable price.

Booked a table online. Was worst experience of a pub I’ve had. Was shown to the table that’s where customer service finished! Ordered food via the app was told there would be a wait although we were the only table in the restaurant. Food came burnt and inedible. No one asked how the food was. We ordered 2 desserts but waitress couldn’t put them down as nobody had cleared the table.

Didn't have a meal but there were many people eating. 👍 Good service and atmosphere for our reunion.

Some of the meals were good others no so, very noisy, but to be fair it was a quiz night

Go here often enough, food is great, team friendly, however, big shout out to Nicola, went the extra mile!!!

I All ways have a fantastic experience the staff are friendly and I had a problem and the manager dealt with it amazingly

Went here for a meal with the family. Food was great and service was fantastic

Love this pub, great staff and great regulars

The landlady Amanda is rude, confrontational and in my opinion needs training in hospitality, customer service and general good manners. Apart from the landlady this place is quite nice tbh.

Staff were pleasant…. Food was great

Great pub, good food and excellent service as always from Amanda and her team

Attended this pub with friends and was treated with a lovely parking ticket a week afterwards. After reading some reviews this is not an issue only we have come across. The staff replied to a previous review stating “if you would have discussed this with us we could have seen what we could have done”. My partner went into the facility and was presented with an extremely rude and confrontational staff member that seemed uninterested in what he had to say and told him to take it up with the parking company. Whilst this may be your “policy” there’s ways of explaining this to customers rather than coming across as rude. Due to other local pubs dealing with this issue in a pleasant manner with friends of ours i decided to call up the pub myself and discuss our situation. They have the same argument about these 9 signs that are clearly a waste of money due to nobody seeing them. Regardless of the 9 signs a parking ticket has still been issued despite us having proof of purchase. I explained to this woman over the phone that one of their staff members has kindly pointed us in the direction of where to get help and her response was “was it …. By any chance? Ill be speaking to him about this because he shouldn’t be telling you that”. What, he shouldn’t be helping customers where he can? Why would you disclose to customers how your going to discipline your staff? Very unprofessional! I can only thank the one helpful staff member that wanted to help us and tried to despite not even being on shift. Overall the disgusting attitude and behaviour from these staff members is outrageous and how she thought it was appropriate to behave that way with customers. Will not be returning to this place its a mess.

Thank you Louise and Amanda!! You really looked after our party today! Fab food and amazing service . Brilliant 🤩

Nice all round pub , nice selection of food ,nice beer and the staff are sound 👌

Bad service, girl didn’t even know what the cocktail I chose from their menu was, she said “what’s that” you tell me love, then proceeded to say she’s only got 1 of the 12 cocktails they had… has to go back and re choose only for her to ID me, I’m 32. Said f it and left, smelt weird in there anyway

Great customer service. The food was great. Prices were good free parking and a good atmosphere

We frequent this establishment on our dinner breaks and have to say the food and service is excellent only made more perfect by my tinted eyebrowed queen behind the bar, they say angels don't walk on the plains of this realm but in this case they genuinely do

We dine here on our dinner. Hour and the staff are fantastic! We feel really looked after highly recommended

Love it at the old Henry Bod's, food, beverages and staff are all A1. Really makes our measly half hour lunch worth while😉 Keep up the good work ladies👍🏼5*

Absolutely gem of a place! Been working away stopping in the Premier Inn next door. Up here for 8 weeks and the food, drink and atmosphere is bang on. Amanda (the owner) Louise and all the other staff are so friendly. 100 percent recommend if in the area

Drinks are fresh and the bar staff are excellent, would recommend

Great food great atmosphere will be in for quiz tonight

Warm and greeting meal was brilliant the Goodfellas Burger Enjoyed it and fun my auntie steak wasn't up to her said unable to chew , t

The kitchen was absolute shocking! There was only 1 chief on. We was told there was a wait time! However that is not the case. We waited over an hour for a simple kids pizza. It was the last meal to come out for my 6 yr old. Who said it’s cold. The dough wasn’t cooked thoroughly. He went past hungry. 6 adults all got there meals 3 of which meals where incorrect the food was extremely nice when it was correct hense the 5star. I feel sorry for Matt the young man on the restaurant floor. Wasn’t his fault he had returned several incorrect orders from all around the restaurant and was very polite and professional to me and my family. Well done Matt your a credit to this restaurant. Keep up the hard work. Usually 99% of the time this place is banging and does really really great food. Tonight wasn’t one of them. Nicky was kind catering and considerate and offered free deserts in which nobody wanted any. Very disappointed will expect a partial refund.

Lovely place. Friendly staff. Always happy to help and very accommodating

A lovely meal, very accommodating for a large group of us. Thank you to the fabulous team for making us feel so welcome :)

Lovely pub good atmospher, guest beer and all the usual stuff

Spacious restaurant and good choice of food and drinks menu. Some of the staff need to have a better attitude towards paying customers.

Welcoming and friendly staff. Prices reasonable and good food quality.

Came to have a meal with my girls, the people on the next table were very loud. Range of gf food was poor

Only went in for drinks not tried the food place was busy and the bar staff were quick pulling the pints and serving the customers would go back may even try the food.

Visited for a meal Xmas day. Lovely atmosphere and the staff were very polite and helpful. Food overall was very good.

It's a great place for food. It's always fresh and hot, or it's great if you just want drinks. The karaoke is fab as well. The beer garden in summer is always busy, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming

Called in for lunch, really warm welcome and good food for a good price.

Didn't have mash potatoes or cheesy nachos. Out of stock 😢

Great atmosphere and fantastic food and drinks

Absolutely amazing staff and food, booked in for new years eve with my family and friends cannot wait

Great atmosphere staff are friendly always chatty Food is great Good place to visit.

Simply mediocre, a place best avoided.

Love this pub, food is amazing and such good value, atmosphere is always friendly and relaxed . We are now regulars every Thursday, lovely treat 😋

Food was absolutely lovely and is 95% of the time but unfortunately on this occasion food was cold once it arrived. I’d also like to add the young gentle man that works behind the bar could benefit for extra training, every time we have ordered with him our food always come out wrong or being over charged. Will definitely hesitate visit again as this is a recurring thing with this staff member which is a shame as we visit a few times a month.

I got a mega mix where the sausages cam burnt and stake was like eating charcoal as was the chicken

Food was no good dripping in grease cold not worth 26 pound i spent sorry never again

Nice meal nice atmosphere the skewerd chicken is amazing

Not ranked food as did not eat, had a fiftieth birthday drink, atmosphere was good without being too loud so could still have good conversation. Staff were on point, and no-one had to wait excessively for service at the bar.

Went happy Even tho there are signs for parking if ya simple like me the staff may at least ask if you have validated your parking clearly I didn’t and it turned out to be real expencive The steak was terrible My whole experience was further spoiled by the £60 parking charge I got even after appeal Never again Apologise for the unhappy review myself and my guests were happy with the food atmosphere and staff My review was hampered by the fact I got a parking fine I was happy when I left the venue

Had mix grill standard of food was great and everything was cooked to perfection if I could give 6 stars out of 5 I would exceptionally nice 👍

Visit here regularly with family. Amazing Food and service from team. Amanda was great. Keep it up.

I have Coeliac Disease, which means I can't have gluten. When I visited The Henry Boddington I was reassured by staff that extra care would be taken when handling my food.

Amazing food. Attentive staff. Totally recommend anyone to eat here. We will definitely be making this a regular thing
