The Moor Top in Stockport

Had a lovely time, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Served by Laura who was fab. Great pub food, great value. Nice mid week drink. 👌

Lovely atmosphere and good food. Service from Laura was kind and prompt. Food was well priced and delicious. Will be coming again.

Very welcoming and the food was spot on at a decent price considering the location. Can’t fault it to be fair. Would recommend to family’s, my two boys enjoyed it and finished all their food.

Lunchtime visit with father-in-law - very friendly service and pleasant lunch. Only downside was Moor Top Ale had run out and FIL likes this ! Value for money lunch. Wheelchair (via back door) and dog friendly !

I really liked the food here and Laura behind the bar really looked after us. We met some of our Scottish family and they loved it too. Thanks laura

Warm early evening & nice to sit out but the outside was a mess ashtrays full on the tables & litter, menus, kids crayoning items all over the floor a ketchup bottle (full) left out in the sun, needs a sweep up & tidy round....doesn't take brains just common sense to make the front more appealling, more than 14 empty tables on a warm summer evening (which is rare at the moment) surely it's better for business to keep the place tidy to attract customers... especially right opposite the cinema

I am Gluten free (Coeliac) and Dairy free. This is the second time for lunch here. Chef took amazing trouble to adapt menu so I could eat safely. Loved the flexibility and the brown gluten free bread was gorgeous. (It's usually white and something I wouldn't give to seagulls. Not here though!)

Normally the food is good, but last Sunday at 6.20 pm they had ran out of several items on the menu. Both my wife and daughter chose food that had chips, when their meal came out, there was no chips as per the menu.I complained but by the time the chips came , the food was cold/people finished their meal. My Lasagne was crispy/burnt and my Garlic bread was cremated.We bought 5 meals/drinks which cost over £70, and there was something wrong with them all. Other than 1 young man who was polite and apologetic, the young blond girl serving didn't seem bothered.We will not return to this pub again

Came here on a Bank Holiday with a large family group for lunch. We all had a lovely experience as always, food and service was suburb, couldn't fault it.

Paid over £21 for this dogs dinner and a pint of cider. You'd think that for that amount of money it would be a delicious sunday treat, but you'd be wrong. The potato's and yorkshire pudding were most likely "Aunt Bessies" frozen, tasteless and cold. The turkey seemed re-heated, old and brown around the edge of each slice, the beef rock hard and so chewy it was almost inedible. Macaroni Cheese and Vegetables that tasted burnt and microwaved (burnt the roof of my mouth!) and gravy from granules; the only surprise being the stuffing ball which actually had some taste to it! Only to add to the despair was the footage of football on every television in the place (which I don't usually mind) except that the sound was turned up to such a volume that I left the premises with an actual headache, not to mention the chance of any conversation completely lost. Never again, awful food and atmosphere. Not to mention the unfriendly waitress. If you have any self respect and love of good food The Moor Top in Heaton Moor is to be avoided at all costs.

We have just been to the moor top 1st time since it reopened, I had steak and ale pie my husband had lamb shank, the pie was put in front of me and I actually said wow that looks amazing, however when I cut into it there was lots of gravy 4 pieces of meat very small pieces very thick pastry, I must say the chips and gravy was nice but the pie very very disappointing, when I told the young lady serving us she just giggled, the lamb shank was tough, needless to say we will not be revisiting the moor top, if you go there avoid the pie, I had very expensive chips and gravy 🤨😪

Wonderful improvements since the very competant new owner has turned this previously tired restaurant into a fantastic asset to all age groups. All three of us had a great experience for lunch and dessert today. The interior and the exterior are completely transformed and the staff very helpful. This will be a great venue for parties of any size a fabulous location for summer and all year round excellent value in a much sort after trendy town in the centre of Heaton Moor. Very special thanks and best wishes to all the staff

Great place, clean and tidy. Nice ambience and fast efficient service from Laura who was lovely and friendly . Would return again,

Fantastic service and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. Very clean throughout. Would definitely return for the overall happy environment.

Food was nice service was excellent with special mention for Laura. Friendly and professional with great customer service skills.

Lovely staff and amazing food will definitely be back again Laura and frank were brilliant hosts I will definitely be back again

We had a lovely lunch, the food was tasty and service prompt and efficient. Laura and Jo were great. We will definitely go again.

Lovely service. Laura was very gorgeous and smiley. Food from the kitchen was tasty and beautifully served. Nice place to catch up.with friends

We had to request a Sunday Lunch these had sold out and Brittany the Manager was really helpful organising this food for us. So maybe they need to make sure Sunday lunches are available for longer. And Brittany was going to sort this out for customers in the future. We would highly recommend the food was amazing and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. Brittany definitely went the extra mile so a big thanks from us three. Marie,Karen and Carol

Great atmosphere and service with a good selection of drinks. Friendly and courteous door staff as well. Looking forward to visiting it again.

Amazing team and amazing land lady Sharon ! Food was amazing - considering it has only been open a month they have done amazing and make it welcoming and friendly to all ! Would definitely recommend

Had a great night at the newly refurbished Moor Top very clean and delicious food, shame they make you pay for parking but you can get it reimbursed at the bar. Great staff and good beer.

Laura and Hollie were fantastic. Their customer service, friendliness and how welcome they made us feel was exceptional. I would hugely recommend this team and pub based on their lovely team experience, attitude and what they represent to Greene King

We had a very enjoyable afternoon as usual. The two ladies behind the bar Ellie & Laura deserve a medal, the way they kept it going. The meals were excellent as previously. Would certainly recommend the place for drinks followed by a meal. Many thanks to Britney and her team.

Great service great atmosphere and lovely food would definitely return so glad it’s my local pub thank you to the great staff

My recent visit to The Moor Top in Heaton Moor was marred by aggressive door staff and abysmal service. Despite ordering drinks, my group and I were rudely rushed to leave, with the door staff repeatedly insisting on closing before the advertised time. Their aggressive behavior escalated when the final bouncer hovered over us as we attempted to finish our drinks, creating a deeply uncomfortable atmosphere. To add insult to injury, the bar staff engaged in argumentative behavior as we exited, displaying a complete lack of professionalism. This was undoubtedly the worst service I've encountered in a pub in the past 20 years. I would strongly advise against visiting this establishment if you value good service and a pleasant experience.

Had a lovely lunch today - great service from the manager - lovely quality food and lovely atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Lovely since re-opened, staff are amazing, first weekend opened had its hiccups but these have since been ironed out. Me and my partner will be back either as a couple on date night, with friends for sport or just a night out! Food is also...

Visited with some friends, had a fantastic evening, the food was amazing and the Prosecco was too! Thanks everyone, we had a brill time

Awful! Full of loud, noisy teenagers, very intimidating and uncomfortable atmosphere. No wonder they had to close the place early. Shame as Moor Top has only recently re-opened. If this is the new Moir Top it won’t be long before it closes again. Shame but...

Sunday hottest day of the year closed at 21.00, disappointed customers extremely dissatisfied clientele this is a regular occurrence in the Moor Top!!!

We had a lovely time at The Moor Top and it was made even better by the lovely staff, Tracey was very attentive and made sure we have a lovely night. Thank you

The Moor Top what should be a great community pub .the food is excellent the staff go out of there way for you to make sure you have a great time . Unless it's 9 01 pm on a Sunday please sort the opening times...

Visited this place on the 4.6.22. Poor service, overpriced and rude staff who obviously can't follow more than 1 instruction at a time. Will not be returning and will warn others of this awful pub.

The pub needs a strong landlord, the staff are consistently poor and seem far more interested in chatting to each other than providing good service. The pub has massive potential but has steadily gone back down hill since the refurb a few years ago, the...

Great selection on tap. Service so-so. Interior looks great, but it always feels so empty, cold and drafty. Maybe business will pick up post covid and it won't feel so vacant

Thought we'd try this place for a meal after a visit to the excellent Savoy cinema directly opposite. Gruff service and a limited menu didn't stop us from ordering but after waiting for nearly an hour for our meals with no explanation or apology we decided to cut our losses, pay for our drinks and leave. I'd hoped the extreme wait was down to a one-off problem but no, it's because they "cook it fresh." My advice is to try the Rock Salt Cafe which is fully-licenced and a few doors along; their food is also fresh and the welcome is much warmer.

Great lunch this afternoon, nice atmosphere for solo lunch. Purchased tickets for bingo & bubbles in March.

Walked in to this establishment at about 9.15pm on a Wednesday night after a nice dinner up the road. Put one foot through the door and was Instantly and rudely told they were closed. Weirdly enough though they were half way through a large drinks order at the time? To be fair it looked nice inside but we never got the opportunity to actually experience it... Shame

We visited this establishment last month much to our dismay. It was overpriced and trying to be something it isn't. The wine glass had a lipstick mark on it, and the staff were far from polite about the situation. Avoid this place dreadful!!

Not a great place I went in here and all looked great and easy going until a guy came in with a cap on A server took gods order and his money and nothing was said, we were on the next table About fifteen minutes later a door man went over to him and asked him to remove his cap, when he did he obviously had cancer or cancer treatment His May challenged the decision as they had been in for at least 15 minutes but they were asked to leave, we felt so sorry for them

Never again There was trouble here on Sunday night Not for the 1st time we were told discussing not g

Literally just got home after 4 drinks outside this place. We were served by a lady all night who was perfect in her service. Didn’t get her name but when we left she said “ it was a pleasure to look after you all night” Great service !!!

I would describe the doorman allowing people in as “over zealous”, not a great first impression! Everything was ok otherwise.

Upon entry the security was very bubbly and kind very welcoming and made us feel happy to be at this establishment, workers behind the bar talk skinny lad with young girl and another young gentlemen all very polite and easy going lovely people to have working for you ! I enjoyed the food and hospitality the workers you have a credit to the place and you should be proud!.I did ask the bar staff for their names but no sure if I remembered correctly I think it’s Nathan, Rea and Callum.

First of all the good things, and there were a number of good things. The service was pleasant and efficient. There is a large car park at the back, which is quite cheap and very useful in this area. My partner's meal was fine. The portions were large with an impressive collection of vegetables.However, my main meal was tasteless and cool. The pudding I ordered, on the other hand, was scalding hot and crammed into a dish which made it impossible to actually pour the custard over it. The waitress addressed this problem very promptly and helpfully.As an after thought. Could someone abandon the modern fashion for piling food on top of itself? It makes it impossible to see what is there and to eat it in any sensible way. Prices were very reasonable. Perhaps I was just unlucky with what I ordered.

The Sunday roast was overwhelmed by a lot of badly cooked vegetables and the beetroot and goats cheese salad drowning in a sickly white dressing. We should have realised that it wasn't a good place for Sunday lunch because it was so quiet. I think that any pub offering good food on a Sunday lunchtime would be much busier. Avoid.

We were enticed by the 50% off food offer which is on during January. The corned beef hash and pie of the day (chicken and ham hock) were both really delicious and the perfect hearty, warming pub food for a very dreary January day. The staff were really friendly. We are already planning on coming back to try the breakfast!

Came here for lunch a week or so ago. Had a lovely platter which tasted fantastic and lots of choice. Also good in summer for drinks outside :-)

Went tonight just for a quick drink with friends, ended up staying for hours! The music was amazing, definitely made us want to stay and carry the night on, some good throwback classics! The environment was warm and friendly and the staff were absolutely lovely. A great atmosphere all round, will definitely be returning!

We booked a table for 8, at 8 hoping for some quality pub food and drinks. Unfortunately, the food was the only quality element of the evening. The service was slow and poor, items on the menu had run out, the doorman was hostile and rude, with members of staff accusing us of leaving without paying when half of the party went for a cigarette after the meal! Made for a thoroughly unpleasant atmosphere, a shame as the food was decent. Will not be visiting again especially given the other quality restaurants in the area.

We went to this pub for a birthday meal, the food was good, drinks were reasonably priced and the actual venue is very clean and nice to sit in with a good outdoor space.However, we won’t be returning due to the weirdly passive aggressive and hostile atmosphere. The waiting staff were inattentive and due to lots of out of stock items on the menu we had to change our order several times, which they seemed put out by, despite not letting us know in the first place that certain things were unavailable.In particular there was a strange scenario in our party of 8 (5 smokers and 3 non-smokers) where after our meal, the 5 smokers went outside, leaving the other friends at the table ordering more drinks, where the door staff accused us of trying to “do a runner” from the table. This was incredibly strange and rude, especially considering we hadn’t all left the table and clearly our belongings were still there, and we all had drinks remaining, and planned to spend the rest of the night at the venue. The door staff also went inside approaching our friends at the table to say “You know you haven’t paid your bill yet?” - This was extremely off putting and I felt very judged for no valid reason. We were not a rowdy group, just having a civilised birthday meal, it seemed really bizarre.The doormen in particular felt very antagonistic and made passing comments which were unprofessional and rude.Very very odd place

The food at the Moor Top has been hit and miss for quite some time now. The Sunday roast is usually very pleasant but other than that they struggle.The starter of French Brown Onion soul was pleasant enough though the crouton was soggy. The main course of Cheese and Onion Pie was very poor indeed. The chips were over cooked and rock hard. The pie crust itself was soggy and when cut into the filling spilled all over the plate - no substance to it whatsoever.As a pub - fantastic. For food - avoid.

I'm shocked how quickly The Moortop has changed. I live 5 minutes away and used to go frequently but after a price increase and a quality downgrade stopped going! I went this weekend after the advertised garden party!! I've never seen so many drugs being openly passed around and people kicking off! Don't know what has happened but I won't be returning.

Functions work well here. I've enjoyed a birthday celebration, plus trusted them with my mum's funeral reception. My husband loves the real ale here (says they clearly keep their pipes clean) and we both love the French onion soup for lunch. But Sunday lunch both times I've had it was very poor - beef flavourless, veg overcooked, gravy tasteless first time, so tried chicken next - better, but still poor, so we've avoided them for Sunday lunch since. For a family treat we took our teenagers, and 3 of us found our food very disappointing, though apparently the burger and chips was good. They also forgot about our pudding order and so we waited ages for it, then asked again when they admitted their mistake. Generally the staff are fine, though, and it's a bright, clean, spacious venue.

Now, I’ve been here about 10 times since it was refurbished & taken over a few years ago .... & it was ok. But last Sunday, I went with my daughter as I wanted a Sunday Roast close by & knew we’d get in without a booking. I was just expecting average roast that did the job .... but got a real surprise. The roast was TOP NOTCH - great selection of fresh veg, proper roasties & gravy with roast leg of lamb .... delicious! Homemade Yorkshire puds .... Great attentive service & friendly professional young team. Nothing too much trouble & total focus on making sure we had the best experience. Extra gravy boat brought out at my request (sorry but I am from Yorkshire) I wanted a couple of side dishes that weren’t on the Sunday menu but it was also sorted without a fuss. Can’t beat their crisp golden beer battered onion rings .... I’d go back just for those .... All I’d say is, give it a go -especially if you’re local to the Heatons - go!! Don’t overlook this great authentic pub Sunday roast. Success all round !!

Went here for evening meal not knowing it was 2-4-1 which was a great surprise We both had the corn beef hash which we’ve had before and never lets the place down it was very good Service by Calum and Max excellent friendly fast and efficient Certainly recommend here and it’s food

My friend and I visited The Moor Top pub for lunch today. We ordered the pie of the day which was excellent. The service was good although we have visited previously when the service was slow. Everyone was very pleasant and friendly, in fact the only complaint is the car park charge, in the past the charge was taken off the bill but now it isn’t. I don’t think this is very acceptable, in fact it’s like a service charge. I can quite understand why you charge for the car park but not when you are having a meal.

Great place to visit with a well behaved dog who is welcomed inside. The staff are hardworking and attentive without being intrusive. The food is adequate and the menu is extensive but a little over modern for my taste, though my husband found the menu more acceptable. Even as a non drinker I can appreciate the wide range of guest beers and the large variety of gins available which my husband and son recommend heartily.

An excellent place for drinks midday and evening. We visited on the bank holiday weekend when the weather was beautiful. The Moor Top has a great arrangement for outdoor seating, with raised tables under the canopy and lowered ones in the open. Outside has a perfect atmosphere. Drinks are quite expensive however you are more likely to have somewhere to sit then if you try a cheaper place so would definitely choose to go there.

Very different to the old moor top. Decor ok but a bit simple. The scotch broth my wife ordered can be described as brown water with half a spoon of veg in. No barley. Even Oliver twist would not ask for more!

Nicely refurbished pub and dining area the food and service was really good. Good well cooked pub food I had fish and chips which was a large helping with mushy peas. Other friends all enjoyed their food.Note car park is £2 which can be claimed back on the first drink over £5 so have some cash!

This was the first time visit to The Moor Top and I was quite surprised at the size of the pub, it was very spacious with lots of tables and areas to eat plus the garden outside was well catered for. It was nicely laid out on several levels. The food was adequate and reasonably priced and the service pleasant and efficient.

I chose the lamb Sunday Roast, there was lots of it very nicely cooked although I would've given the broccoli and cauliflower another minute. Mint sauce looked and tasted home prepared, it was very good. Beautifully presented, servers were attentive, we didn't have to wait ages to be served or wait for the food. Lovely atmosphere. A good selection of desserts on the menu, I chose the chocolate cheesecake, which was delicious rich and very filling, came with a generous amount of cream.A lovely treat with my two girls. Would recommend and will return.

Visited tonight before visiting the theatre. Ordered a brisket cottage pie that was extremely average. The sauce and the meat was an awful grey colour, bland and quite tasteless. It was also cold and I had to ask for it to be warmed up. Wish I had looked at the low 3.5 rating before we went. Will not be visiting again. Such a shame, because the pub itself has a very nice atmosphere and the waiting staff were lovely. They just need to get the food right.

Called in on Saturday afternoon for a few drinks and only ended having the oneFirstly the lad that served us was as miserable as sin which isn’t a good start and then as other reviewers have stated it is overrun with kids that don’t seem to be let’s say monitored yes it is the parents problem but it is then that’s causing the issues for the place Nothing at all against little uns but keep them under control please Now I sound old !!!

A group of 13 of us visited this morning . On arrival at 10.50am I tried to order 3 drinks, but was advised a waitress would come and take our order. Then when a couple more ladies came , we were advised we should go to the bar and order drinks and pay individually. The drinks were ordered at 11.10am and at 11.40am we got drinks which were all barely lukewarm, so these were sent back . It then took another 20minutes to get new drinks- mainly due to other people in the bar area being served as a priority. One of our ladies had to leave before getting a replacement coffee- after paying for it. Although we were not eating I feel that our group of 13 ladies were penalised by only having coffees and not eating, although the total spend was approximately £30.Not once did any of your staff come over an apologise for the wait or cold coffee.

As guests at this event we had not visited before. We were situated in the “function” room with a nicely prepared table although they were of different sizes. A one course meal of various main courses which were served very slowly so we had to begin eating when served. Roast chicken served with appropriate vegetables etc and Yorkshire Puddings was tasty but not really hot and we needed to ask for extra gravy. Clearing of used plates etc was slow. Some skills of the waiting staff needs to be improved. Staff friendly and courteous.

Went here on Xmas Day.Meal cost £70 per head for 4 courses.Following a glass of bubbly on arrival,first course was soup,which arrived in a tea cup.This contained about three mouthfuls,so not over generous by any stretch,but even less so was the accompanying bread,as there wasn't any! When asked if we could have some,4 small triangles of bread were provided.This would have been ok for two people,but there were five adults in our party,so not even enough bread for a small triangle each!So,we requested more bread,and one,yes one!!,small triangle shaped slice of bread was provided for the person who missed out!.Next the starters,Those of us on pate again had the problem of not enough bread,which was supposed to be ginger,but was more like lemon and had the consistency of cake as it just crumbled and disintegrated!Have to say it was a good size slice of pate,pity most of it ended up in the bin rather than in our stomachs! On to the main course now.The majority of us plumped for "Turkey,with all the trimmings!" I have to say the turkey was nice and there was just about enough.The trimmings consisted of a large Yorkshire pudding-with turkey??,a few roast potatoes,three finger sized slightly roasted parsnips,and 7 or 8 sprouts which were inedible and rock hard.Seriously,you would have been arrested for carrying offensive weapons if the police had caught you with them in your pocket! We also had to ask for extra gravy,which was provided. The desserts were ok,although the cheesecake didn't taste of clementine and whisky which it was supposed to,but was nice anyway.My chocolate brownie with ice cream was a size suitable for my two year old grandson!My son's partner complained about the size of the portions and the fact that we had to ask for extra this and that and we did get a reduction on the cost of the meal,but this was scant compensation for having what should have been a pleasant experience ruined To sum up.our poor experience was not what I would have expected from an establishment trying to gain and maintain a reputation.I spoke to someone from another table who agreed his meal "hadn't been up to scratch!"I don't know if anybody else complained as we did,I suspect not many if any at all,but unless people do,places like this will keep geting away charging exorbitant prices for rubbish.

We had a Christmas lunch at the Moor Top and it was excellent. Friendly and flexible service. Decent food for such a busy day - and a pint of Moor Top remains a great ale!

This place will ruin itself if not carefulI know it’s fashionable now for families with young children to dine out but a kind has to be drawn somewhere as this after all a pubFor the last few times I’ve been in with friends it’s really out of hand and I don’t know who I blame more the parents or the staff or the policyToday a child banged and banged on a chair so long and loud and the parents just watched it was ridiculous it a dog had been barking that loud I’m sure something would have been said or the owner would have taken the dog outCustomers will be lost if rules are not set for how children are allowed to behave or the time they have to leave

Went in for a drink and some food. My wife obtained a larger and a cocktail. Food was ordered. We shared the the Confit Duck Leg Croquettes for starters. It was freshly prepared and hot.My wife had the Moor Top Burger and I had the mussels. Both were freshly prepared, well presented and hot. The staff were very attentive, cutlery placed on our table at the appropriate time.The experience was really enjoyable.

We visited for lunch and found the place more like a mother's and toddlers group. We tried to find a corner table out of the way and ordered our food. A group came in and sat near us with babies and we had to endured the shrill voiced toddler, shouting out continually, a crying baby and an iPhone used to play children's songs loudly. It was chaotic and unpleasant.The staff were very friendly, the food satisfactory. The only time I would ever visit this place again is if I needed to find crèche facilities.

A friend and I visited for a light lunch for the first time . We each chose a sandwich which came with either fries or soup . We both opted for the latter but wished we hadn't !!!! It was described as carrot and coriander but unfortunately neither of those ingredients could be identified . Instead there was an overpowering citrus lemon flavour amidst a very watery consistency .Our server asked if we were enjoying our meal to which we replied honestly regarding the soup ....... sandwich was good .No offer of an alternative side was made and no reduction given when the bill came . We won't be dining there again ...... such a shame .

As a regular visitor to The Moortop I have to say that my visit yesterday (25 November) will be my last on a Sunday. My tipple is Chardonnay and at £20 a bottle it is not cheap for a Stockport area pub. What I object to however is that I was drinking the wine in what had seemingly become (and not for the first time) a crèche. There were twelve to fifteen young children, some running around screaming and with no interventions from their parents. This is not what I regard as a place for a quiet Sunday drink.I am sure Mr. Pilling finds the arrangement profitable but I feel sure it will be at the loss of some of his regulars. The policy needs to be rethought.

Visited the Moor Top before a concert with 6 friends. We all had a different main course and everything was amazing. I would definitely return especially as the waiters were so attentive.

The food is consistently good as are the wines and gin. Staff always go out of their way to help customers and are very friendly too !

We visited The Moor Top on a gorgeous sunny afternoon; the outside space is perfect for soaking up the afternoon/evening sun, with plenty of seating to create a nice atmosphere. We had a selection of light snacks, which were lovely and served quickly, even though it was quite busy. There was an excellent choice of drinks. The staff were really welcoming and friendly. I will definitely be going back!

Great local pub, good atmosphere, friendly staff, good selection of craft ales. Good mix of people early on a Friday evening. I would recommend to friends!

Absolutely love The MoorTop! The staff are always amazing even when it’s really busy and the food is so good - much more varied than the usual pub menu especially the veggie options. Always good music playing, such a good place to go for a few drinks or to have a bite to eat.

Lovely beer garden for summer evenings, staff are really friendly and accommodating of kids. Also really good range of drinks, loads of interesting beers on tap and some great gins.

Not long moved to the area. Great to have this pub nearby; good friendly service, nice outdoor space and good choice of beer on. The kids menu is great too!

Went for lunch to a place I used to frequent regularly in my late teens and early 20’s and boy has it changed, for the better I’ve got to say. The outdoor area at the front used to be the car park but is now a drinking/dining area. Got a table outside and was attended fairly quickly and with a smile. Ordered drinks and food the drinks arrived quickly and the food was served within a reasonable time, wasn’t in a rush so didn’t time it. When it arrived it was ok it was pub food so wasn’t expecting gourmet presentation but it was fine. Only saw the interior when I paid the bill it was light and airy much different than it used to be almost 40 years ago.Overall a nice place and I would imagine it gets very busy at night and weekends, I went mid week between 12 and 2 in the afternoon.

Went for Sunday roast, there was a private function being held in the outside area. We ordered drinks and waited 45 mins before asking what happened. It seems they’d just forgotten us. In all fairness, they gave us our drinks for free. But still. Also, dirty restrooms and I couldn’t find a place to change nappies on our little boy. If I’m Heaton Moor, look elsewhere than the Moor Top for food...

Visited on a Saturday evening for a meal with friends.The first thing was the car park, it's pay and display £2 for 3 hours, your £2 is refunded when you order over £5 of drinks.On entering the building we were hit with a cacophony of noise the level was ear splitting ! Just people having to shout to be heard, each person shouting louder than the other.We had reserved a table and was shown into another room away from the main area, again everyone was shouting to be heard, at this point we wanted to leave but as we were in company we stayed , that was the BIG mistake.The menu was very poor with hardly any choice, the soup of the day was Potato Soup, WHAT? didn't the poor people of the Victorian era live on that ?The waiter service was so slow we waited 15 mins for our first drink our second drink during the meal never arrived at all. The food was very mediocre so much so we would never go again.In observation of the whole place, it seemed to us that there was no one person in charge of the staff, and boy did it show, behind the bar area was awash with spilt drinks and water An accident waiting to happen.The gents toilet floor was covered in liquid of some sort? with a bucket under one of the urinals which was overflowing...All our company were of the same opinionA night we never want to repeat

Went here to day for breakfast with three friends and it was excellentThe service the food not one complaint Attentive but not intrusive and not one thing to complain aboutUnfortunately we didn’t get the name of the servers but one I think is the manager and the other was a great guy who really couldn’t do enoughAll in all it was so good

Lunch consisted of steak and chips and for another chips and a portion of curry sauce, an orange juice and a tap water. Came to £30. Steak was far from fresh, meat was poorly cooked. Each of us felt that the portions of chips were quite small for the price. Curry sauce had a perfume taste to it. Place itself is very nice and the staff are great but food is over priced for the sizes and we both felt ill the next day, but putting it down to the ice in our drinks. Much better off going across the road to the chippy.

Really nice inside and outside since it’s been done up. The food was nice, but my vegetables were cold, I ate the rest of my food because I was hungry and left the veg and told the waitress they were cold, I was disappointed that they didn’t knock any money off the bill.

I have been here nearly every week for the past month whilst staying with my son .We have enjoyed all our meals .I was particularly pleased last week when I asked about the size of the portions as I haven't a large appetite. I had a child's main course and dessert ..perfect ! My son loves the steaks .We like going in the area with the booths .The fish and chips are fantastic !

Fab breakfast, just what I needed to recover from the night before. Tasty and filling. Will be back :)

Turned up for a couple of pints and the usual Sunday lunch around 1pm. The pub was hardly busy albeit a few in the beer garden due to the hot weather. Food was over an hour in coming. People sat around me had waited nearly 90 minutes. Excuse was they had a couple of parties booked in !!! n.b. look after your core customers before creaming it on your party business !!Decided I would have a desert to cool off (including my mood) and was told that was over an hour due to the 'parties' (of which none where on site at the time of ordering).

My previous visits to The Moor Top had been pleasant and the food good.However,I went in last Tuesday evening, just for a drink and it was truly awful. One of the staff who I had encountered on other visits seemed to have had a personality transplant and was rude and obnoxious. The other staff were similarly off-hand and just wanted your money as quickly as possible. They had also closed off some areas for their own convenience. Add to this the number of customers in there who were loud and playing drinking games, etc. which made it very unpleasant for everybody else. The management (if they were there) clearly didn't care about any of this.I will really think twice about going here again and will check out the clientelle before I buy a drink!

Went to The Moor Top after my son's holy communion for a buffet with friends and family. The buffet was delicious and everyone commented on how lovely the sandwiches were. Great customer service by Jonathan and staff during all arrangements and on the day.Thanks for making it a great day.

We are regulars here but such a shame our recent experience was marred by one in the party being served 'half' a fish (clearly a child's portion, it was half the size of the other fish and chips ordered). We mentioned this to the server and still had to pay full price for it. The Dining Club, giving 20% off food Mon to Fri, apparently is only eligible if you book a table 24 hours in advance. Although this is not mentioned on the specific Dining Club web page. Recommendations would be to quality check portion size, clearly state T&Cs on web page and please ensure tables are wiped clean between diners. Sticky tables do not make for a great dining experience. Staff need training on customer service skills and basic table cleaning.

We visited for breakfast this morning & I really wish we hadn’t. Our food arrived & my husband’s food order was wrong. My scrambled egg was runny and undercooked. I advised this was a real concern for me as I’m pregnant. Both meals had to be returned. When my food arrived for the 2nd time, I was advised the chef had heated it up for me! I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! Re-heating eggs! Not to mention the toast would have been cold and soggy unless they had re-heated that too! The waiter didn’t seem to see my issue with this but returned it to the kitchen advising they would make me a fresh meal as I had insisted.When it finally arrived again, I think it was a manager or supervisor who served me and he commented “3rd time lucky.” An apology would have been more appropriate.When the bill came there was no gesture of a discount.The two young waiting staff were very polite, friendly and efficient. My concern here is with the management in their approach to customer service and food hygiene.For anyone looking for a great breakfast in the Heatons I highly recommend Feed in Heaton Chapel. Brunch is lovely there.
