Woodstock Tavern in Manchester

Food was good when it eventually came (2 hour wait for a Sunday lunch we had booked in for ahead of time)

Friendly staff, and food was great, would definitely go again.

Really sweet place, the atmosphere is lovely and the staff are very accommodating. Would absolutely recommend, one of my favourites.

Sunday lunch is very busy 4pm. The starter and mains came very close together, then 30 minutes before we went looking for staff to take additional drinks order. Food was a little cold or really hot.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Sunday roast, excellent service

Lovely food and great service for our Sunday lunch today. The pub is nice and the food too. Thanks for a nice afternoon and Sunday lunch and the staff were great.

Sunday beef roast. Cheap presliced and meagre. Vegetables nice but meagre. Everything was slightly warm and over cooked. Won't go again

Excellent Sunday Roast made even better by our server Niamh who was friendly, helpful and patient with our 2 year old when it came to ordering ice cream!

A nice place to grab a beer. I sat on the first floor and at that time there was no service so I had to take everything from the bar on the ground floor. Didn't mind though. The drinks were good but I was a bit disappointed with the nachos. I found the food oily and not so tasty. This is of course a personal preference and other people may like it. I think I will give it another try because the atmosphere was great.

Very yummy lunch. Accommodating staff, great location. Loved it.

Went for a Sunday roast. Absolutely delicious! Amazing service

What a lovely establishment - I went for lunch with some friends and I ate the pork belly. It was delicious. Annie was lovely, she recommended the pork belly to me.

The staff couldn't have been more accommodating of our needs - it meant that everything ran like clockwork from the moment we arrived. We were a big party and used their upstairs room, which they staffed with a bar. All our food arrived on time and because we ordered ahead of time there were no hitches.

Amazing new garden and a cracking roast on Sundays

Great pub, food (especially starter bread and hake main course) was excellent. Not the cheapest but well worth it and enjoyed outside.

Fantastic setting and great food. Well done.

Excellent service and food. Great menu options, hake was superb.

All staff were amazing!! All very accommodating to my dairy allergy & Jim was great with his staff and very helpful too x Ty x my sister enjoyed her birthday celebrations x ☺️💜☺️ x

Stood waiting for someone to greet us ,staff changing dead flowers while we were sat at table.Smallest portion of mushy peas ever.Steak served with few chips and sauce,little bit of greenery..Chips with the burgers were very poor and almost burnt .Not a good meal and quite expensive. Staff were pleasant enough though

Came for my 40th birthday with my fiancé, the manager Jim helped her with the treasure hunt she had set up and provided me with my next clue!!!! Love this place always come back when we can!!!

After having lunch here which was really nice. We came on a Sunday with the rest of the family for lunch. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. The starters came out and all were great in fact they were just as good as the lunch we had had a couple of weeks before. But then the mains came out. The roast beef dinners were dry and tasteless. The beef was tough the roast potatoes were definitely frozen ones. Cauliflower cheese was raw and I think they had forgotten to put the cheese in the sauce. The carrots and parsnips were no better then there was the cabbage which I think they had run out of because mine was mostly peas. The other meals were no better. Steak and ale pie. Very dry. Hake with lots of bones. Cheese burgers were over cooked and dry. Then there was a steak which was also over cooked and dry. So sad to say we won’t be returning. Shame really as like I said we’d had a lovely midweek lunch a few weeks before. I think if they had a really good chef this place would be packed and booked up week in week out.

The table that was reserved for us what fantastic, the staff were fantastic polite and friendly and brought treats for our do Teddy the service and food was amazing and the night even more special I couldn’t thank them enough

Nice pub, fantastic beer garden. Good choice of drinks and food. Some of the staff had a bit of attitude as we were a party of 14 and wanted to all sit together.

Great staff great food and great beer

60 birthday party lovely place no staff on dsy of party. Tunning up amd down for certain drinks Would not recommend Down stairs complaints 10 mins yo get served due to no staff. Busy Saturday night. Need st least 5 staff

Drinks selection is good. Good beers, good wine. Food, meh. But then again it’s a local pub, not Gastro pub. Atmosphere is bizarre. Only few times it shines, when it’s very sunny or run up to Xmas.

Food was great good service and nice setting.

Absolutely brilliant, the lunch time sandwhich menu was amazing value, very fresh and great portion size, great vegan option. Lovely venue , the staff were all very friendly. Visiting family in Manchester, will definitely return.

Great dog friendly pub with large beer garden

Excellent service, excellent food really looked after by Martha, who was very professional friendly and helpful

Not the best, staff are a bit stuffy, soft drinks options are sparse and strange. The food took ages to arrive and when it did, it was only just warm. Not great.

Really nice pub. Good choice of beers. Nice food

Great location, big garden, lovely old building. Food is good, not amazing, but pleasant. Good selection of drinks. Service ok, most of the staff were polite.

Celebrated my father’s 70th birthday with family at the Woodstock. The service and food were wonderful.

Watched the england game here for a stag do - smashed the chandelier in celebrations and they were completely understanding. Hospitality unmatched. Pizzas were tasty and pints were cold and fresh. Highly recommend. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Lovely beer garden, live music, great vibes

Honestly best place in Manny, get there! Chicken wings are the one, beer is fizzy and the vibes are mad!

Amazing food and service from Ella and the team

Beautiful pub, beautiful service, beautiful drinks! Annie was a delight to be looked after by - we sat in the beer garden for the opening party and there was great live music and good vibes even if it was raining! Will definitely be back here

The beer garden is great.a large variety of drinks, food and live music 👊🏻

Class beer garden for the summer!

Great garden, live music, pizza and drinks! Lovely place to be.

A very beautiful and gracious pub inside and out. Food menu was good and reasonably priced. Drinks pretty standard. Would definitely come back another time.

Nice place to visit if in the area, great outside seating areas and an extra large area in an extremely large establishment. A good selection of beer and lagers and has a large menu to select from. The sandwich and drink offered great value albeit the fish and chips were on the expensive side for a pub The staff seemed to be under incredible pressure or understaffed as waiting time on a mid week lunch time was a little too long. Overall a pleasant visit, would visit again if in the area. Good parking.

Just awful. especially for the price.

Lovely staff and a nice atmosphere

The small plates and sandwiches are great value, you get more than what you pay for and they are delicious. The pub itself is the best in the area with good choices

Was there to football and has fathers day meal there. Great place and nice food. Will go again

Really nice beer garden and service was fine. However for the price charged for food and the quality thought it was quite poor. The chicken burger was definitely not home made and very small. The triple cooked chips were also definitely not triple cooked and were very similar to frozen chips from a supermarket. £16 for that was shocking.

Friendly service good atmosphere

It was a visit to watch the euros England game Our table was in an awful position upstairs to watch the match. The staff did their best to change it a little, but still wasn't great A little while after a new TV was put in a different area, but we weren't invited to sit there. Our waiter was fab and the food was good

Friendly staff, good beer. Good value pub food. Gets busy on Sundays. Toilets upstairs so disabled is used by all.

The pub is lovely and great for drinks, but the roast dinners we had were disappointing. The meat elements were delicious, but the veg was all underdone and really not nice at all. Especially the roast potatoes, which are usually the highlight of any roast!

Popped in for a quick drink so we weren't eating,we will next time looked excellent 😁👍

Very nice gastro pub with excellent decor and menu, the newly refurbished beer garden was very nice and off road so a great place to relax and enjoy a well earned drink.

We just popped in for a drink on a evening walk around the area. It was a nice place for a break on our 10 mile walk.

Visited the Woodstock for the first time on Sunday June 2nd for a family meal for my wife’s birthday. First impressions were good, fantastic looking place very clean and tidy. We started with a drink in the extensive outdoor area before moving indoors when our meals were ready. We were a table of 8 and despite it being a busy Sunday lunch all the food was cooked in a timely manner and all served together. And speaking of the food, the portions were generous to say the least. I had the Chicken Schnitzel, beautifully cooked, my wife had a child’s beef Sunday lunch, enough for an adult serving. My Daughter and her Husband had the sharing Sunday lunch which was enormous, enough to take home and make another meal from. All in all, top class food, drinks and service. Beautiful location and really reasonable prices. We will definitely be back.

Fab food and lovely service! ☺️ Jim was great!

I’ve always had really delicious food at the Woodstock.

Amazing food, beautiful place. Jim is lovely and we’ll definitely be back.

Came across this neighborhood pub on an early morning walk. Was well worth the return visit during service hours.

Love this pub. One of my favourite places for a half term catch up with my bestie. Great food, bar and ambiance.

Wonderful atmosphere and very very good roasts- potentially the best i’ve had! a bit expensive but it’s so worth it. Grown up vibe, and so nice. Thanks guys!

Excellent traditional breakfast, great value for money. Lots of choice for vegetarians too. Service friendly and prompt. Cant fault it

Dropped by this little gem while waiting for a friend at hospital staff extremely friendly and helpful food excellent will be going again

My now wife and I recently had our wedding reception (4.05.24) at the Woodstock in Didsbury and let me tell you it was amazing!! The staff were so helpful in the planning of it, always there to chat about what we wanted to do and very accommodating with the set-up. This really made things less stressful for my wife and I, as we only had a short space of time to organise it. 6 weeks in fact, but the team took this in their stride and walked us through the menus, drinks package all very reasonable in price. I can’t thank them enough in doing this, as it helped so much knowing they had it under control. The chef even came out to speak to us which was great, again putting our minds at ease. All this really makes a big difference and shows they actually cared about our day, we felt so comfortable that everything was in hand. Even the few tweaks and changes, not a problem. What we wanted, the Woodstock delivered and then some. On the day the staff were so welcoming and lovely to our guests, everyone really felt really at home. The food we got was outstanding, compliments to the chef and the team there as they worked really really hard getting everything out to the party. Everyone enjoyed it from start to finish and I want to say a big thank you to the team at the Woodstock, they were totally first class, they really were. Thank you so much Woodstock team, you made our day so special, which will stay with us the rest of our lives. Matt and Stepahnie

Great place. Food great and nice vibe. Would be lovely in the summer 🌞

Great pub nice atmosphere friendly staff & hats off to our waiter Kev nothing was to much considering he never stopped & was so busy will come again 👍

We’ve always been a fan of the Woodstock since we first went when we lived in Didsbury, ten years ago! Today we visited for the first time with our new baby daughter to celebrate our third wedding anniversary with a roast! The Woodstock we believe, do the best roasts in the area. This one didn’t disappoint, and the chicken was as succulent as ever. We also enjoyed the puddings afterwards. It was a really jovial atmosphere and it was also relaxing and nice to have a meal prepared for us with such care. The service staff were also excellent and happy to help. Overall, I rate this meal 10/10. Thanks again for making our third anniversary special and relaxed. As new parents, we really appreciate being looked after, cooked for and cared for!

Better managed now, with friendly staff. Quiet during the week, but crowded Friday and Saturdaym when the upstairs, but not its bar , is opened. Usually only one or two cask ales on, yesterday just Black Sheep, a decent session beer in good condition, but over £5 per pint! Lovely beer garden in the summer.

It's been over 20 years since I was last in the Woodstock and remarkably it still seems to have the same vibe. Friendly place with great food and a good range of drinks. I just called in for a lunchtime drink and steak sandwich (which was excellent). It brings back happy memories. So glad it hadn't changed

Old building..beer good a bit pricey. Did not eat so cant comment

As always, great good served by moody staff. At least they are consistent

Love this place! Good vibes, beaut building and good drinks. Milo (I think was his name!), gave good wine advice, what a great bartender!

Superb pub, excellent food, great beer selection and the crisp choice is fantastic!

Nice place to have quite drink with the family. Good outdoor spaces and great selection of different beers

Service was quick, the food was tasty and the portions big, fab atmosphere too!

Made a booking for an occasion as we were visiting the area from Staffordshire. Arrived at the pub to be told the kitchen was closed until 5.30! Went over the road to Albert’s & had a fabulous meal! Next time we’re in the area we’ll go to Albert’s!

The staff and the waitress we had were great. But the beef was stone cold (we were told that it was the last of it) and the roast potatoes were rock solid like stones. We did flag this to the staff and they were apologetic

Great service, staff are friendly and food was nice !

Slightly disappointed as previously I have never had any issues. However, on this occasion they were very short staffed so lack of attention during meal and you had to order at the bar. In addition a number of dishes were not available - including the main gastro pub type dishes. I would have expected as Alberts which is across the road is closed on a Monday, that they would ensure everything on the menu is available to pick up extra trade.

Really enjoyed our meal on Mother’s Day . Both of us had Steak which was cooked to perfection . Lovely ambience inside

Group of 10-15 lads booked tables to watch the 6 Nations rugby and celebrate a 28th birthday. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, food was excellent and the pub had a great atmosphere. Would definitely go back.

Went to watch the six nations rugby. Went early to get a table for the game only to be told 1 hour before the start that the whole area was reserved, no sign no prior indication, and that all the tables downstairs were booked so needed to go elsewhere. Been there for previous matches and tables reserved spaces were indicated. Really poor.

We had the BEST time!! All of our family and friends are still talking about how great it was and what a lovely venue it was. We booked in for our gender reveal announcement, a get together of 30+ bringing everyone together. Our friends and family enjoyed great night .The staff made everything so special for us. They couldn’t have done more! The food was absolutely delicious we never had better pizza!Very easy to book and communicate. We want to thank you all for the best night! We will remember it forever.Thank you so much to everyone who look after as again and the G.M aswell who make this happen for as

Lovely surroundings but the service was a bit patchy. We asked for the table to be cleaned when we ordered as someone had eaten there before us. They didn't clean the table. The food was average -we had to ask for more dressing for the ceasar salad -and I don't like a lot of dressing! They didn't have some of the options on the sandwich list -this was at 2pm on Monday. Good selection of cask ales though!

Lovely food freshly cooked great value

Very friendly staff. Had a good laugh with the chap that served us. Food , nicely presented, very tasty, and came out nice and hot 👍🏾

Came in for a quick drink and was greeted by Ella who had a lovely chat with us. Lovely vibes and good drinks, never been here before but would come again

Could be cleaner outside, and the food is a little expensive for the quality and presentation.

Everything about the visit was good! Good food, good staff, good hospitality!

looked after my family and friends superbly at my mums wake ,thank you so much x

Not a lot to tell about anyway. Fine food, good beer, that's why I have been there.

Great value lunch time deal. Nice relaxed vibe. Friendly staff. The food tasted great. The Guinness was a 6.5/10. Highly recommend this place
