The Hive Stretford in Trafford

Turned up to find that the hive is now permanently closed. The whole place was empty and locked down!

The staff here are lovely. It's a pleasure to order food. The roast dinners are lovely. I would have given 5 stars if the roast potatoes had tasted fresher.

Popped in for Sunday lunch after trying the burgers a few weeks ago. Both times the food was spot on, chicken burger and cauliflower cheese were great! Portion sizes are generous and prices are reasonable. Very family friendly place that shows sports but with a nice chilled atmosphere. We'll definitely be back. Glad to have this so close to home!

Amazing quality of food, clean facilities, the staff here are very friendly and so helpful. Decent prices.

Worst pool table I've ever played on. Not level at all. I saw the barstaff drag the pool table a few feet across the room, this explains why the pool table is not level. Nice place though.

Beautiful food very competitively priced with friendly staff

I took my dad and family here for Father’s Day - had the father and son platter and kids chicken and chips (all delicious). Such lovely staff - Gemma and Sally served us and were really attentive and made the whole evening a great time.

Me and the family dined at the Hive today for a Sunday roast and I can honestly say we had a 10/10 experience. We were served by Sally and Gemma who were fantastic and made the whole evening very pleasant, so we will definitely be back. Thanks so much :)

Great for sports, beers and food was top

Beautiful service from both bar staff sally and waiter Joe. Both attentive and funny Had pork belly starter and lamb roast was delicious would definitely come again

Only popped in for a pint and have a look. Friendly person behind the bar , delicious pint of Stella,pool,Darts and banging tunes on in the background!... Did I mention the huge Flat screen?... ( A bit bright if I'm honest, but that's a bit picky. Everything was just right. We felt relaxed straight away and will return to try the food at a later date...

I was pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. This bar-restaurant on the side of Stretford Arndale is family friendly with menu options for groups and for kids. The food was exceptional - a modern menu executed to a high standard with each dish beautifully presented and packed with flavour. There are also multiple screens dedicated to BT Sport and SkySports channels. The bar offers a good selection of drinks to choose from including cocktails and a great beer selection. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall experience. Overall, I highly recommend The Hive for people looking for great food, live sports, and a friendly atmosphere.

Hidden gem on the side of Stretford Arndale !! The Hive is a family-friendly bar-restaurant, with exceptional modern cuisine and beautifully presented dishes. Multiple screens featuring BT Sport and SkySports channels while sipping a cocktail or beer from their great selection. Friendly staff make for an enjoyable experience all-round. I definitely recommend The Hive for those searching for excellent food, live sports, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Lovely bar staff, really nice atmosphere! Top selection of drinks and darts and pool available too. The food is honestly delicious, great value. Big shout out to Kurt for always providing impeccable service, would highly recommend to anyone in the area

great atmosphere! really lovely bar staff especially kurt!

Top man Kurt. Came in to watch the footy and he was on great form. Great bar to have a few in.

Came in for a few beers. Kurt went out of his way to make sure we had a great night. 10/10

Love this bar, especially during the week. Kurt is always lovely and looks after us all the time, makes us feel welcome. Don’t have a bad thing to say about this place definitely recommend!

Since coming to the hive we have been welcomed and served my kurt ! He is such a welcoming and friendly person to be served by ! He’s a credit to your work place !

Sunday lunch, amazing good food, decent price, friendly & attentive staff team. Jamie was a great host.

Great staff Love all the guys here. Food is amazing! Jean and Gemma are really friendly and helpful

Comfortable setting alongside good music & vibe with friendly staff team. Three course dinner was very good plus a wide selection of drinks. Will definitely return.

nipped in for food only 5 tables occupied , young servers clearly no idea on what good service is , had to ask for menu's, ask to order drinks , ask for cutlery , not once offered any real service. Foods ok , chicken wing are great but clearly no manager to ensure things are done correctly. Eaten here a few times and the service always was poor but now its to the point I most likely will not eat here again. Such a shame as I had high hopes for hive in the early days of opening.

First visit today for a Sunday roast. We both had the lamb which was amazing. Service was superb, will definitely be back to try the normal menu. Had a roast dinner takeaway yesterday and it was just as good as our dining in experience our go to roast place now and hopefully Xmas day ! Been tonight for there American themed menu, I had the burger girlfriend had Ribs and we shared BBQ wings, buffalo wings and mozzarella fries , every thing was superb. We really love this place the staff are amazing and welcome your custom. The chefs are brilliant. You must try this place the roasts are better than when the parlour used to do them. Still the best roast dinner around just been again today ! Superb ingredients and cooked to perfection, I always have a cauliflower extra is it's sublime.

Everyone raved about the Sunday roast... All descriptions start with cauliflower cheese. None to be seen. We ordered extra portions of pigs in blankets, undercooked. Which was a shame, we took them home and re-cooked them and they were really flavourful. The Yorkshire pudding looked delicious, but the bottom must have been sat in the oil for ages, as it had soaked it all up. Inedible. £9 for a burger without any sides... NINE POUND. To top it off we asked for a high chair for baby which looked like it had never been wiped down. We got a spray and wiped it down ourselves. The chicken was very flavourful, and mash too. However, you don't get much of it.

Amazing Sunday roast here probably one of the best. Great cut of beef and selection of veg. Would definitely recommend!

Dropped by on NYE. Drinks are horrendously overpriced, bar staff slow and inexperienced. Not inclined to visit again, especially considering 3 drinks was just under £20.

I have been to The Hive multiple times for drinks, watching sports, and family meals, and I have always had a great experience. However, my most recent visit in October for a small surprise birthday celebration was truly amazing. The staff at The Hive were extremely organised and went above and beyond to make the celebration special. They offered a delicious buffet, a birthday cake, and even arranged for a guitarist to play for a couple of hours. The room setup was also perfect for our celebration. I have always enjoyed my visits to The Hive, but this experience was truly memorable and I am grateful to the staff for their attention to detail and excellent communication. I highly recommend The Hive for any occasion and I look forward to returning in the future.

Few beers on a Saturday afternoon nice bar

Nice lively atmosphere. Had a couple of what looked like xmas works do's on so was quite busy. The food looked and smelled lovely we were on our works Xmas do but just came in for drinks but wanting to try and come back and try something out.

Absolutely incredible food - the vegetarian burger was better than I’ve had from speciality vegetarian restaurants charging 3x as much. And the profiteroles - oh wow! The staff were attentive, efficient, friendly and helpful. A wonderful experience for everyone in our party. I just wish I lived closer to be able to enjoy visiting again.

Food is amazing and staff are all lovely. Their Sunday roast is the best. 😍

On our way to a gig at the Manchester arena from cheshire and we stopped by on the way for a drink and we are so glad we did! What a amazing place! Very welcoming, staff are brilliant! Drinks were spot on, didn't try the food but will do next time as it looked amazing 👌 try this little gem out! Carnt wait to come back thankyou guys 👊🏼

I've been to The Hive a few times now and on each occasion the food was great. The atmosphere was very suitable. The staff where very accommodating. My only gripe is I don't there isn't a place like The Hive close to where I live otherwise I'd be there more often.

Always a superb meal. Great food and excellent service.

Love this place, always has a good atmosphere and is a fab local business. Menu is good value and super tasty, would recommend the wings and the espresso martinis - yum!!

Fantastic food, really enjoyed it. The chefs clearly know the secret to a cracking scran and it shows in the food. Proper grub, decent prices and the bar staff were sound too. Little hidden gem in Stretty.

Great place to go grab something easy to eat and relax, the staff were great and the music was fun. Look forward to Christmas in the box.

Excellent food and brilliant service. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic friendly staff. Food menu always changing and innovative. Affordable prices too

We had a soft play party bus planned for a joint Birthday party for our two boys and a few days prior to the event, it was cancelled. After trying many places to re-arrange the party at short notice with no joy, I called the Hive and spoke to Maya who said that the owner, Chris, would call me back the following day. Chris called me as promised, we had a great conversation and he came to the rescue. I was amazed by how accommodating Chris and his team were in helping us out – we were able to use the Hive for the party at very short notice and they opened early to accommodate us and the children’s entertainer we had booked. Chris, Jamie, Maya and everyone at the Hive, we are extremely grateful. Us, our boys and everyone who came had an amazing time and you have customers for life. We will be back very soon. Thank you again The Hive, you made our day!!!

Good service but everything just seemed a bit chaotic. We had the Sunday roast which sadly came out way too quick for the price, and we were right - instant mash and very undercooked vegetables. The portion sizes were great, but it would have been better with less done amazing than lots done mediocre. The gravy and Yorkshire Pudding saved it! As somewhere local I’ve had my eye on to visit, it’s sad to see somewhere which clearly had a lot of effort gone into be spoiled over time. Examples: commissioned wall art covered by children’s scribbles, faux ivy and wood lattice everywhere, loud TV adverts with nothing to watch, and sticky tables and menus. What to say - average with room for improvement?

Went in here yesterday. Decent setup, but the service was appalling. Every table filthy. No-one on the bar. Staff just sat around chatting, and eating deserts...

I only went there on a week night and sat outside for 1 drink. The staff were really friendly, the interior looks nice. Good choice of world beers, a great outdoor area and good music. I will go back one night.

I have been to the hive on 2 occasions now and Saff has been on the bar both times. One time alone (Tuesday) and tonight (Friday) with other staff. She really stands out as bar staff she is friendly and she knows her stuff! What a credit to the bar she is!!!

Just had the 3 courses for £15, the food was amazing, both quality and value for money. I can't see this offer lasting too long so take advantage of it whilst it lasts. We also took advantage of their drinks offer, the 2 for 1 on the cocktails. As with the food they were quality drinks for price.

Staff brilliant love music fantastic brilliant night out

Not a great experience. The 'lamb rump' for £17 (expensive restaurant price territory) was fatty (not what you'd expect from supposed rump), cold and served with thick salty gravy which ruined the food. Manager or chef couldn't even be bothered to come apologise and still wanted to charge us for the full meal. They also seem to be storing food in a toilet? which I had to move to allow people in to move stuff in/out the food storeroom... Needless to say won't be back in a hurry!

Absolutely amazing bar - can’t recommend this place enough! Staff and locals were so friendly and welcoming. Great food, excellent service and reasonably priced! Lots of vegan options, and a great stop on the Altrincham tram crawl.. Definitely worth going out of your way to visit :-)

So warm and welcoming - Hidden Gem

The sunday lunch is fantastic. The service was excellent.

Just had a lamb roast. They let me have a kids even though I am old. It was lovely. So tasty and a variety of veg. Best roast we have eaten out and well worth the money.

Had a delicious roast dinner at the hive today, our plates were clean by the end! All of the staff were really friendly and attentive, including the owner Chris who told us about future events like a cabaret drag act and a Freddie mercury tribute act! Will definitely be returning.

Best steak in Stretford and at 2 for £25 on a Thursday with a bottle of red thrown in you’d be mad not to try it. Staff are lovely too, for us it’s the best place in Stretford.

Really fun events & a great atmosphere.

Staff are friendly and attentive but have had mixed results on the food and drink on a few occasions. Dirty glasses more than once and the food is okay but could be better. Still need to try the roasts as they do seem to have high praise but the rest is just average for me.

Great cocktails, beautiful decor, delicious food all beauuuuutifully presented. This really is a great spot and so glad to see them doing so well after a difficult start (opened just before the initial lockdown so can't have been easy to keep going but they've made it happen!). Love it here!

Had an excellent Sunday lunch here. Highly recommended. Freshly made, great atmosphere.

Absolutely fantastic food, if I could give it more stars I would, definitely be back, staff very pleasant and attendative, thoroughly recommend

50% food through week 👍👍👍...split in two...noisy side & quiet side for footty....Great atmosphere

Always have a good time at The Hive. Great place to bring the kids and have a pint. There are a lot of veggie options and the veggie roast is banging!

Great bar. DJ a little rude and played a load of 70s tunes on an 80s night

Good value for money on the food, the wings are amazing although the random slices of cucumber on our roast dinners was really odd. Drinks are a little more expensive with a limited range of craft beers or spirits but decent enough. Enjoyable pub atmosphere though and not too busy so good for walk-ins.

Food for Delivery from here was disappointing. Ordered a Steak burger box: BBQ beans were missing, a very small portion of chips, the lettuce in the burger was old and soggy (translucent in structure), the chicken wings, however, were delightful. Do not order the "Steak baguette". Its not a brioche baguette as outlined, it is a brioche hot dog roll, and a stale one too - the title of the product is misleading to the consumer. The sweet potatoe fries arrived cold, but were somewhat generous in size than its potato fries counterparts in the order. In terms of quality, this establishment fails to deliver. I had high hopes - their price points suggest that they should be delivering on quality. Instead, its both poor quality and poor value.

We were lucky enough to meet one of the owners who invited us to the Hive for food and entertainment. I've got to say both myself and my husband absolutely loved the place the second we walked through the door, Stretford isn't really known for such an exceptional experience . The food is beautiful, service was fast and the atmosphere fabulous. We are hoping to go more often especially with weekend bands and artists. Get down there !!!

At the Hive, we had one of the best Sunday roasts ever. Well worth the wait. Great surroundings , friendly and professional waitress service.

Great venue, great team ...very helpful and professional. Food delicious and very reasonably priced. Definitely returning xxx

Went along with the family and friends. We had booked tables to watch the football. What an amazing place!! Food excellent! Service excellent and so very accommodating and pleasant. Highly recommend to others!

The food is good if a little bit pricey. Music was a bit too loud though and lost them a star.

Lovely place we went in early 6-30 pm 2 for 1 on cocktails and beer staff were very helpful and friendly sanitiser on all the tables plus dj later on brilliant

Excellent food, really well prepared and presented. Great drinks list and cocktails. Very friendly warm service. Amazing place to be, Chris and staff are terrific

We play for the local pool league and had a match in The Hive last night (Tuesday). Treated like royalty by the owner and their team were a great set of lads . A great atmosphere, really nice food and an expansive drinks menu.

Great atmosphere, good food pleasant and helpful staff. If you plan to meet friends to watch sport and eat well this is the place.

Wings!! Fried wings!!! Are you serious??!! Yuck!! Never again!! Seems like I drank bucket loads of oil... Note to self: never go off the ratings

Very nice bar and restaurant. Popped in for a pint. Quite busy for a Thursday. Plenty of people having food.

We went on a Thursday evening the food was really tasty and you ordered at the bar. Good decor.

Good place food excellent some fine beers with a good feel to it

Just visited as a place to cheer on the marathon runners. Don’t normally post reviews but the food was delicious!! £13 for a banging steak cannot be grumbled at.

Great atmosphere and top food - Recommended

Good food Televisions in good location's Family friendly

Best Sunday lunch I've had in a long time. Great playlist in the background. Match on as well. Can't believe it's taken me this long to go.

Lovely place, great atmosphere, the staff are all lovely too...

First visit today for a Sunday cook. We both had the sheep which was astonishing. Administration was amazing, will have returned to attempt the typical menu. Had a meal supper action item yesterday and it was similarly just about as great as our eating in experience our go to cook place now and ideally Xmas day ! Been around evening time for there American themed menu, I had the burger sweetheart had Ribs and we shared BBQ wings, wild ox wings and mozzarella fries , everything was eminent. We truly love this spot the staff are stunning and welcome your custom. The cooks are splendid. You should attempt this spot the meals are superior to when the parlor used to do them.

just been to hive for meal. food was excellent and the service too. gemma was the perfect hostess. a lovely experience in all.

Sunday lunch was massive, obviously home prepared and cooked, and delivered to our door. The choice of beers in this new bar is good.

I really like this place. I've been here twice and each time I come, or call, staff is absolutely fantastic. They're courteous, friendly and personable. The atmosphere is great, you can sit inside or outside. Food was really good. One night I got the filet steak that was on special and it was shockingly good, especially for only £16. The next time I got the Bieber chicken burger which was ok--the sauces don't quite mesh well for some reason, they clash, but I scraped it off and it was delicious, as was the sweet potato fries and onion rings. I had a latte that would rival any barista's, it was really good. I cant speak for the cocktails as I've only had wine, but they have a 2 for 1 cocktail night. The night I went was Drag Queen night and was fun. Parking across the street at the old post office parking lot or you can park in the parking structure and walk around. Not far from tram or bus station either.

Friendly staff and tasty food. Will be going back 😊

Food was awesome as always. Normally get this on Deliveroo and consistently good, however...the place itself was scummy. Food all over the floor, people smoking at the door while eating, serving ale with ice. My fave was the waitress eating at the pass with her hands and then serving people's meals without cleaning them 🤢

Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Delicious food 😊

Really good atmosphere. The staff were very friendly. Good choice of drinks.

Staff were super friendly and the food was lovely. No complaints from our table!! Good offer on cocktails as well x

Been here for the first time today the food was delicious and the staff very welcoming and helpful will be going back again 😊

Good experience. Had better I'd say 3.5 stars

Lovely Sunday dinner here, great service and great food thanks to all those who work here, will be back soon

Watched the England game, amazing atmosphere, quick service, freindly staff,highly recommend

Lovely food & non intrusive atmosphere considering it is situated on Chester Road!

Amazing place! My Girlfriend and I come here weekly and we always love the food, all the veg always tastes so freash and the portions are great with the customer service is excellent as they always go above and beyond to ensure you are happy, even when they make a mistake they will aways make up for it! I would highly recommend the Sunday roasts!

Nice place decent beer, friendly staff and tasty food....

Excellent service an quality food Best in Manchester

Had the best Sunday lunch in the day but tonight was disappointing- the mac n cheese was swimming in chive oil and my mum couldn't eat it - my veggie special burger was bland and also super greasy than previously eaten there ... also quite pricey- £10 for a burger that didnt come with chips - a bit of a let down tonight
