Went in the John Gilbert for dinner and chose the fish and chips advertised as Crispy Battered Atlantic Cod With Thick -Cut Chips at £16.45 . On receiving our meals we received what I would describe as a kids potion of a frozen fish ( which was obvious because both our fish were of the same size and shape which were both watery when cut into ) a table spoonful of mushy peas in a small pan and our thick cut chips Not . Would we go back to eat there again 💯 not a chance disgusting.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon and was greeted with a lovely, friendly welcome from a lady who I assume (I may be wrong) is the landlady. She took the time to chat with us and was super friendly. We took advantage of the £2 pints of Pravha on offer and had a fantastic afternoon! Lots of TV screens showing the England game also. Great place to watch the match! Will return.

Credit where credit is due 🥰 Not been here for many years …but wow I was very pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. We only went for a quick tea, not planned; but we absolutely loved the food and polite staff members. The main dish steak was absolutely perfect and more than reasonably priced. Compared to local restaurants and this place is well underrated. It’s not ram-packed liked it used to be years ago which is a crying shame I feel because it deserves to be. Maybe it’s not seen as trendy any more but we would definitely go back again. Next time planned :-) The staff were great; Polite and courteous. And again prices …. Nothing Is cheap these days but we got two mains and two sides for £44 which I feel is a great price considering we had two steak dishes.

My parents went there for lunch at the start of last week so it might have been the back end of July and they told me that they were not happy with their food they told one of the workers that work there and they just didn't seem interested I feel like that's very bad customer service it's like they went there and they said to me in the food were very small portions prices have gone up but smaller portions and the food wasn't that good they went there because I recommended it so when they come back and told me how bad it was I was not happy maybe they had enough day maybe the worker was having a bad day but not happy with the service

We stopped in here on our way back from RHS Bridgewater gardens. Had a drink and some small plate tapas. Service was fast and friendly. The food was good and the pub was clean (although the menus were a bit tatty). It’s a pleasant, modern place and I’d visit again.

Visited here for the first time to try the pub and food. My mother had a gluten free meal and myself had food. My mother enjoyed hers but unfortunately later had come home and been violently sick with all the food, be wary to visit here for gluten free foods. Disappointed and expensive drinks for what it is

Cannot fault the John Gilbert. After speaking to Sarah we put all arrangments in place for mums funeral buffet. Her care and attention together with private area for our guests was just right. The food was excellent . The pub itself including toilets are spotless. Area outside to sit and enjoy . We have used this pub often as its central location for motorway access is great for our visiting family. Also visiting family from USA stay near by when in Manchester so we use the John Gilbert as our meet up place. This is just the right place and location for us.

Had a poor experience when going for lunch with my boyfriend today. Working in hospitality ourselves, we know that people can have bad days however, the blonde lady behind the bar had a bad attitude towards us from the get go. We took a seat after a lovely greeting from a lady with red hair (who we think is a manager) and chose our food. I went up to order and the blonde lady wouldn’t let me put a word in. I asked about having no mayo on the BLT and she said it was already mixed in which is fair enough. I tried to find something else I’d want off the menu as I told her I was quite a picky eater and she kept firing different dishes at me as if she were rushing me to make a decision (bare in mind there was no queue at the bar and the pub was quite quiet). I chose something off the menu and was given a dirty look and asked “are you sure you want that? It’s got sauce on it. If you’re picky get a kids burger.” I was very offended by her blunt, sarcastic comment and it made me feel very uncomfortable for the rest of the meal. I went back to the table and told my boyfriend of the situation and he noticed how rude she seemed to be towards me. Like I said, I know that some people have bad days and I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. However, I feel that her mannerisms were frankly very rude. Even if she had a bad day, she shouldn’t be taking it out on customers. I’m quite disappointed as I have always been a fan of the John Gilbert especially for drinks and the quiz but after this encounter I’m quite put off on going again.

This was my second time visiting this charming and historic pub and it was well worth it. The beer is varied and there is something for everyone with the hand pulled ales being especially good. We ordered a couple of the smaller plates to share one of which was the cod goujons .....wow! They were utterly superb and not to be missed. From looking at the other food delivered the standards here are very high and also consistent. A special word for the amazing and attentive staff who were working on Sat 24th Feb 2024, they were so very kind and friendly. The pub was busy but they were so efficient and so skilled at keeping on top of things - an absolute credit to Greene King and the pub. This is a beautiful place to go for a drink or a bite to eat and even has live sport on. There are so many little corners to find to feel cosy and even an events/function room tucked away. Even the toilets were absolutely spotless, this place is a true hidden gem and I can't wait to come back again. Don't just drive past, call in and see for yourselves.

Came here for a Sunday roast this afternoon. Beef was so tender and soft, roast potatoes were crispy, fluffy and well seasoned. The best potato’s I’ve had in a restaurant. Very generous portions with lots of veg (normally restaurant roast are tiny portions). Staff were lovely and attentive, only thing is it was a little chilly as I’m assuming the heating wasn’t working. 9/10 for the roast!

The facilities were beautiful and clean. They offer the hiring of rooms which was great to see. I will keep this place in mind for any special occasions. Ooo there is a one way drive /parking system so when arriving in the dark, go past the building and then turn right. Also there are lots of posh cars parked up so must be a nice place 😉...

Lovely pub to look at, but disappointing food. Roasts had rock hard stuffing, hardly any gravy or veg, and bland meat. For £15 a pop, it was disappointing. I asked for condiments and some extra gravy twice, and after the second time I didn't want to ask a third. My friend ordered a Mac and cheese which looked straight out of a tin. The portion was tiny and the choice of something akin to watermelon in a side salad was a tad bizarre. Staff were nice enough but I definitely wouldn't return unfortunately.
