The Red Lion in Manchester

Went there for preEmgland game only to hear the manager and assistant manager standing by the door passing racist comments. Spoilt the whole experience. Considering the venue is close to a major hospital in Manchester, this behaviour is unacceptable.

My wife and I have recently dropped in on several occasions for lunch and snacks and have always found the quality and value of our food surpassed only by the friendly and welcoming staff which has encouraged us to return.

Came here whilst waiting for my mum having a scan at the Christie. Lovely food and drink with friendly staff. Nice big beer garden.

This olde style pub with home made food is ideal for meeting friends, morning coffee ,lunch,date night Hire the conservatory for a function It's an amazing place,

Here with family for my wife’s 60 th Birthday Staff and food have been super with the seasonal garden salad scoring high. Roast dinner v nice and waiting staff very good with the kids Enjoyed my tower burger

I meet up with an old friend here each year, she has annual appointments at The Christie which is literally just next door. There are a couple of car parks attached to the pub, one either side. Not a lot of spaces considering the size of the venue and my friends had to park in a nearby multi-storey because there were no spaces and the roads adjacent are all permitted. This is a spacious traditional pub with a friendly feel. On arrival, we were served with drinks which were reasonably priced and there were menus on the table. We chose our meals and paid at the till and the food came out fifteen minutes later. I had the vegan burger which was served with chunky chips and was all delicious. the waiter was friendly and polite and all in all we had a lovely afternoon.

Lovely atmosphere. Staff very attentive and friendly. Felt very welcome from the moment we walked in. Food lovely and good portions

Best pub ever, with the best staff. Food was out of this world. Also the atmosphere was great which I think was created by the Manager Sean.

Had a Sunday roast with all the trimmings lots of veg, I had Turkey which was cooked to perfection, the rest of the family had roast beef. Excellent service and friendly staff

Came in for a quick bite to eat after a business meeting. The food was bland and very overpriced for what it was. Whilst ordering our food at the bar we heard one of the managers complaining about the staff that were on shift, who were apparently "doing f*ck all". The staff who were on the bar were lovely and very attentive, but our whole experience was soured by the attitude of the management. Left a tip for the girl on the bar, but will not be returning in the future.

It was truly the most terrible meal I've ever had. I Will never order a a meal there ever again. Nor will I recommend it. It was that rubbish I'm going to speak to the owners. Do not eat there at all

Lovely pub been there many times. Ordered a sharer dish yesterday, only to find out we couldn’t have it by a female member of staff shouting to a colleague “we don’t have any prawns so you’ll just have to tell them to order something else” unprofessional to say the least! We are paying customers not someone of the street after a freebie. Food was disappointing for the price.

Nice pub and atmosphere. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating however, the food isn't great and very expensive for what it is. Can get a meal out in town for the same price and much better quality.

Nice old-school pub, food is good and friendly staff. Very expensive compared to competitors in the area. The price of beer seems to increase every time I go there

Really nice atmosphere very clean and comfortable. Food was excellent and good value.Will definitely visit again in the future.

Came here with a friend for a quick catch up. The quality of the Guinness pouring was second to none and the thick cut chips were to die for! Absolutely will be coming again

Booked a table for 7 on New Year's Day as strangers to the area, purely on the fact it looked ok and was within walking distance of our accommodation. So went with no great expectation and were very pleasantly surprised. Service was friendly, quick and efficient and food was delicious. Interior of the pub nicely furnished and decorated, warm and comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Bobbed in on Christmas day for a few drinks and the pub looked amazing. Food looked great, just wish we'd booked. Staff were soo lovely and caring and the beer was absolitely amazing. Such a good atmosphere, will definately be back in next year for Christmas Day and for food

Yeah it's a decent Sunday roast and the service was great. I would definitely recommend it! This place has struggled over the years, but this is the best it's been in 10 years!

Excellent service from Jess and Holly on the floor! Went above and beyond to make us comfortable and have everything we need. Roast was lovely, definitely be back next week.

We visited a couple months ago now for food and decided to bob down again for a bite to eat. The food is still fantastic and well priced. Definately a place to visit if you live in the Withington area and don't want to cook....

I useally deliver to the Red Lion as a delivery driver for Birtwistles, I went into the Red Lion with my wife for a meal, and I paid £13,95 for a large and chips. The fish was really small and appalling, when I complained, the...

Nice roast and puddings. Nice warm pub. Good atmosphere and a good drink selection. Louise was a great server.

Popped into the Red Lion for lunch and a pint. Great staff and lovely lunch time atmosphere and top notch food. Our party had a variety of dishes, steak, mixed grill, sea bass...all really delicious. Would definitely return.

What an amazing pub with great friendly staff. We were seated at out table by a young lady called Jess who had a beaming smile. She was extremely attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Thanks a bunch Jess :)

I was served by mark and he took great care of me. Amazing bar staff also when ordering drinks there.

Great place to come for food or even just a drink, the staff are very welcoming and friendly!! The food was amazing!!

Kiraiea was very attentive and friendly. Lovely service by all. Would come again. Ordered chicken ceasar salad.

Came here for a Sunday roast and it was gorgeous! Bottomless Yorkshire puddings and gravy would definitely recommend, service was amazing couldn’t fault it, will be back soon :)

The food was way below standard, especially considering all out meals were over £12. The veggie pasta tasted like it was out of a tin and the pie was disappointing. Would not recommend for food

From what the Red Lion used to be back in 2021, there has been massive improvement. The refurb has given the place a new lease of life and with quality of beers and food on offer, it's back to being a fantastic local pub. Plenty...

Stopped simply for a quick drink, ended up with a meal and a few drinks. Such a nice warm and welcoming pub/restaurant. Had a SanMiguel which was spot on ((clearly these pipes are cleaned regularly) followed by Fish and Chips with Mushy Peas and every...

So pleased to have The Red Lion open again, especially with its upgraded decor and layout and the enlarged outside space. Excellent customer service, really friendly and helpful (thanks Liv), great food plus I discovered Lees bitter. We look forward to our next visit.

Food is very well cooked and tasty - we had the beef roast dinner. Would have liked more veggies on the side but the ones we did have were good. Dessert was splendid. HOWEVER, the absolute highlight of the visit was the warm presence of...

Lucy was really nice and very friendly, definitely deserves a pay rise. Really enjoyed the food and great service!

Beautiful new refurb, great staff, good drinks and the best garden. Great range of drinks with some interesting new vegan additions to the menu.

Wow, food was excellent. The place is stunning and a must visit pub if you haven’t already. Probably the best staff in the pub trade also…..See you all soon with more friends 10/10.

Family Sunday Lunch. Two of us ordered the roast. The portions fairly were generous in terms of meat and potatoes but the seasonal vegetables were hard, dry and tasteless. The small chunks of parsnip and carrot were almost impossible to cut and there was one...
