Worsley Old Hall in Salford

Angry rude manager, young with longish hair. Not good customer skills, looks like he hates his job. Won't be returning. Rather go to coal and cotton

It seemed to anger the bar manager when I asked about why the fires were not lit (6 degrees outside). He told me it's summer now so get used to it. Slightly saddening really as we went over to Barton Arms and their fires were in, but I love the old hall. Never had this issue before. Hopefully they'll sort it soon. Regardless of the season, it's cold in Manchester very, very often and heat is not a luxury despite what the politicians say.

Enjoyed a meal with eight friends today at Worsley Old Hall. Excellent service from Olivia, she was smart, kind, professional, friendly and she provided a great service. Nothing was too much trouble, a great asset to your company. I would recommend for a relaxed atmosphere and great food. Thank you. Adrian

Beef was largely inedible. Very chewy fat running through it making it difficult to cut or chew. Surprised such a nice looking place served such poor quality food.

We love it here, family friendly proper pub with good food and drinks.

Had a absolutely fantastic lunch and would recommend everything about the place, the food and service were excellent. Still a fabulous place, food and service second to none.

Today we had a very nice meal which I was glad of. Unfortunately I have found Worsley old hall to be a bit 'hit and miss' i

Always enjoy the food and the staff are lovely

Today marked our first visit to the establishment, which was notably busy upon our arrival. We did not pre-book a table, as we were unfamiliar with the reservation procedure. However, the barman, who appeared to be the manager, went above and beyond to accommodate us and engaged us in lighthearted banter. This was a refreshing contrast to some nearby locations where staff seemed overwhelmed during busy times. Despite the bustling atmosphere, the operation of this venue was impressively smooth and efficient. We were able to enjoy drinks at the bar while awaiting a table. Almost immediately, a table became available, and we were seated without delay. The food and drink offerings were excellent, with a quick turnaround for our orders and a vast selection that included both standard and real ales. The staff was consistently friendly and attentive, contributing to a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, this experience was enjoyable and seems to cater well to patrons seeking a relaxed yet lively dining environment. I would highly recommend this establishment to others; it is unlikely to disappoint.

Our family of six celebrated my husband’s birthday today at Worsley Old Hall. We arrived at 1.30pm and although it was very busy, we were very well looked after by Thomas who made us feel that nothing was too much trouble. He smiled throughout! There was something on the menu for everyone, resulting in 6 clean plates. I have Coeliac Disease and rarely get such a good choice of gluten free meals as I had today. It’s a lovely building in a nice setting. We had a very enjoyable time.

What a lovely meal in a formal but comfortable atmosphere. Thomas was the perfect waiter and attended to all our needs. The food was delicious and there was ample choice for our Gluten Intolerant member. We brought our own gluten free cake and there was no issue with Thomas bringing it to the table with all the candles aglow. Some staff even joined in the singing! We had some vouchers from a previous visit which made a significant dent in the bill too. All in all, it couldn't have gone better. Thanks to all the staff for their great service.

Faultless, gorgeous, we’ll be back

Large group booked on a Saturday night. Kyle helped me organise the booking and was very helpful. As a group of 12, it was great to not have to pre-order. We were served by Ellie, who was tremendous and supported by Sophie. We weee treated very well and we were all super happy with everything.

Soup was nearly cold had taken so long to be served didn't want to send it back. Beef dish for main was 50% fat, covered in gravy was difficult to identify ended up swallowing a lot of it 🤢

Amazing food and service in a beautiful venue. Lots of outdoor space too.

Myself and 2 friends decided to celebrate our successful cancer treatment at The Christie by going out for a meal. From the moment we walked into the restaurant we were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The meal was delicious, served with a smile, and when asked if this was a special occasion we told the waitress about 2 of us undergoing successful treatment at the Christie. She was so moved by our story she wanted to celebrate with us and reduced our bill with a considerable discount. We all had a thoroughly enjoyable evening, the food was well prepared and delicious, the service was second to none, and each of us felt that we'd had a perfect evening. Thank you Worsley Old Hall for a wonderful meal we won't forget

Great breakfast, Eggs Benedict £10.95 and scrambled eggs with salmon £10.45, with 2 lattes £8.00.

Fabulous place Great ales landlord really knows his beer 🍺

Afternoon Tea Such great service, from my initial telephone booking with Ryan, to our warm welcome, to the food and drink delivery time and attentive staff. Everyone was so friendly it made my friend’s birthday treat extra special. Feedback about the food was well received and we were both made to feel very welcome. As ever, Worsley Old Hall’s ambiance lived up to expectations; such a beautiful building in gorgeous grounds. Thank you. Xxx

Great venue, atmosphere and delicious food

Bass on Bombay potatoes and fishcake excellent. Bar was loud and lively, but dining room quieter. Suggest booking.

We recently dined at Worsley Old Hall with my family, and I must say it was an very pleasant experience. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by a lively atmosphere that added to the great experience of our evening. The pub is notable for being dog-friendly, with many furry friends also enjoying the vibe. There are restaurant tables throughout the outer rooms, making it a perfect spot for both families and dog owners. Even though it was busy, we managed to book a table online in advance. We arrived slightly earlier than our reservation, and the friendly waitress encouraged us to enjoy a drink at the bar while our table was made ready. The drink selection was impressive, with a variety of tasty beers and ales alongside the usual lagers. I particularly enjoyed sampling several keg ales, with the “Road Trippin Extra Pale” was excellent. Once seated, we quickly ordered food for the kids, which arrived promptly. For starters, my wife opted for the pate, and she followed it up with the slow-roasted tandoori lamb for her main course. I chose the beef croquettes and the sirloin steak with peppercorn sauce and a side of buttered vegetables. We paired our mains with a lovely glass of Rioja wine, and all the food was fantastic. We shared delicious profiteroles for desert. The service at Worsley Old Hall was exceptional. We felt warmly welcomed from the moment we entered until we left. However, I did notice that with the restaurant being busy, it took about 20 minutes to receive our drinks when ordered at the table. I found that retrieving drinks myself at the bar was much quicker. The pub is conveniently located next to the Delta Hotel where we were staying. A note for larger groups: they require telephone bookings and deposits for tables of ten or more. I did attempt to call several times but wasn't able to reach anyone; perhaps booking in person would be a more effective option. In summary, thank you, Worsley Old Hall, for a fantastic evening! I can’t wait to return.

Lovely place food was delicious and staff were lovely.

Loved the atmosphere Good breakfast

When staying at the Marriott hotel we always come to this lovely pub to eat at night all the staff are lovely food and drinks good would highly recommend this pub

Lovely food, brilliant staff, a thoroughly enjoyable meal

Phenomenal pub. Excellent service, atmosphere, drinks, and food. This is one of my top places to visit when I come to town! Ps - do the desert - best I’ve had!!!

Went here on a Friday eve for a Christmas work gathering. It was quite busy as this is obviously a popular spot. We had booked a table and were really well looked after. The menu has something for everyone and had at least one vegan choice for starter, main and dessert. This isn't your average pub food though, it's really really good! The staff were really friendly and the service was excellent. Would definitely go here again for drinks and food.

A great place which is always nice and warm with plenty of seats and plenty of tables and great bar staff I really love going here in the winter, especially when it’s Christmas time

We had an amazing time at our Christmas party hosted in the private dining room. The food was delicious, the ambience was beautiful and our server Matthew W was wonderful and attentive :)

Our third festive meal this season and easily the best. Special thanks to Thomas who was super - very efficient and friendly service.

Really nice food in a lovely setting, didn’t feel rushed despite the place being packed, great experience

Fantastic place. Cannot fault the food or the staff.

Went here with my family in November 2024. We were sat in the back room to the left near the fire. The room was freezing and one of our party kept his Coat on. Service was great as usual and so were the drinks. Can’t fault the food either. However… WTF? Why oh why do you serve hot food on cold plates? Am I missing something? Does a warm plate make the food taste bad? Is it not good restaurant etiquite to use warm plates? Is it something a chef insists on? It just makes no sense. Half way through my meal my peppercorn sauce was cold from the freezing plate. If this is the way it should be then I will gladly apologise and remove this review immediately and ask for a warm plate personally next time.

This was to be a special day as our eldest Daughter and her Husband had flown in from Canada, and had been recommended this restaurant for lunch, and our youngest Daughter and her Husband all met here, along with my Husband and myself. We had travelled an hour and a half to get there, We hadn't seen our Daughter and Husband for 2 years, so this was to be a special Christmas meeting. What an absolute disappointment it was. I ordered the Turkey dinner. It was Turkey roll, 3 slices, with a piece of what I think was stuffing on top, and a minute pig in blanket. there were 3 sprouts, a small amount of green cabbage, and a spoonful of pickled red cabbage, and a small amount of mashed potato that would easily have fit on a desert spoon. there were 3 what I think were roast potatoes, but they tasted a few days old, and they were a funny colour, so I only tried half of one. They tasted as bad as they looked, the vegetables weren't cooked, so I had to leave them all, the mashed potato I only tried a bit, and it tasted like packet mash. Everything was only warm. it looked terrible, and tasted terrible. My Husband ordered a Sirloin steak, no steak knife was present, and the ordinary table knife wouldn't cut it. He'd asked for it to be cooked medium, but it was Black on both sides, and raw in the middle, and was very thin. He asked for a steak knife, and when it was brought to him, it wouldn't cut the meat, and he had to try and tear it into pieces, he said it wasn't really eatable, but he was hungry, so ate it. It was also cold. Every portion served was the size of a childrens portion. when the waitress started clearing the plates, she asked me if I had finished, as I had left nearly all of the meal. So, I explained very quietly how bad the food looked and tasted, she said she would report it in the kitchen, but I heard no more. Any chef who prided himself on his cookery would have come out of his kitchen to find out personally what was wrong. Our Daughter was the only one who enjoyed her lunch, as it was vegan, all the rest of us ( 5 ) complained about the meal. My Canadian son-in-law had the Fish and chips, expecting a good piece of Cod or Haddock, only to be told it was Hake, which is a lot cheaper. He said he would try it, and said it didn't taste too good. At the prices this restaurant charges we expected a decent Christmas meal, but all we got was rubbish. To say we were all disappointed is putting it mildly. I have sent a message to the restaurant, which was acknowledged to have been received, this was Wednesday, the 4th. but have heard nothing further. I do wish I had taken pictures of the meals, but didn't have my phone or camera with me. I do think the chef was having a day off, and someone very inexperienced was doing the meals. Yours Faithfully, Patricia Ball.

As a Coeliac I just want to say how wonderful this place is they are so caring and careful about allergies and put you at ease when eating there, and this makes such a difference when eating out these days. Highly recommend, excellent service, atmosphere and food thank you

Maya, who looked after us last night made our evening! What a lovely young lady, eloquent, caring, warm, engaging and made us feel welcome. Family of 6, we are visiting family from down south. Maya we wish you all the best! Great food, our only feedback would be dim the lighting a little! We all enjoyed our meals.

A lovely meet up with friends. Usual high standards

Excellent food, fabulous ambiance, Really efficient staff and great delicious meals. Made my husbands 70th birthday celebrations very special.

Had an excellent afternoon meal, the staff were very attentive, polite and friendly especially Linda who could not have done more and the food was lovely.

My husband and I really love this place. It is great in Summer when you can sit out in the garden and also in winter when they light the log fires. It always has a really nice atmosphere and the food is good too.

The food was excellent 👌. The atmosphere was also good for a Wednesday afternoon. The service on this particular day was left a little, wanting.. There was no attempt at making us feel welcome by the barmaid & no enjoy your food when it was delivered.

Lovely place. Very friendly service. Lots of variety on the menu. Great food at a reasonable price. Will definitely return.

There were eight of us there for an evening meal, some requiring gluten free food. Even so the food arrived all together and surprisingly quickly and what's more it was all excellent. I can't fault the quality of the service or the food. While the bar area was quite noisy the restaurant part was pleasantly quite so I highly recommend this restaurant.

Linda and the team were fantastic from arrival, we couldn’t have asked for more attentive service.

I had a meal here and was violently ill within the hour, doubled over in pain. It was my first meal of the day and I hadn't even left the car park. I was ill for 3 weeks and had to cancel my holiday. The management response was shocking: nothing to do with them, no remorse etc. I would NEVER eat here again.

Was here for a birthday celebration, the shoulder of lamb and Dauphine potatoes was lovely and my friends enjoyed their Steak Burgers. The prices are a bit steep and i was not too impressed that they added a bottle of Chardoney to my bill which we did not have but this was quickly removed and was said to be an error. Always fully check your bill.

Came to a show as an outdoor event in a gazebo/tent.....We didn't eat at the event on this occasion. Hoped it was a bit more enclosed based on time of year, but, other than that great night!!!

Had a gorgeous roast dinner yesterday. Eirini our waitress was delightful and made the occasion of our son and his fiancées engagement even more special 💕Xx thank you for your smiles and looking after us so well Erini Xx

We ordered the squid starter which was very overcooked and burned and a tiny portion. The second was the duck dumplings which were very likely from a frozen catering bag they came out very dry! This was by far the worst starter I've ever had, I felt quite disappointed.

Nice place open bar area which accepts dogs.

We were served in the Private Dining Room on Sat 2nd Nov at 1-30pm for a Birthday Celebration. Matthew looked after us SO well. Nothing was too much trouble & he worked really, really hard the whole time. Pleasant & courteous to everyone he’s certainly one to look after you. Thank you Matthew!

Was very busy when we arrived on Wednesday evening, but our waitress Ellie still provided excellent and very friendly service. We could tell that she genuinely cared about the customer experience and even apologised as she felt she had not done enough. Nothing could be further from the truth however, the service was great as was the food for that matter.

Amazing staff and food! And a great choice of drinks to choose from. The atmosphere is also brilliant with some open fires to sit around.

I had the sea bass and cockle sauce which was delicious. It fell apart a little at desert. It was microwaved and that spoilt it. I would have preferred the staff to tell me my choice wasn’t available and I would have been happy to choose an alternative. Overall our meal was lovely and I will return.

Service and decor was lovely, but the food is shocking. Third time I've been and it's literally just extremely overpriced frozen food. Got the burger and it was basically a giant blob of overcooked meat accompanied by giant, indigestion inducing, undercooked chips. And then when the bill came, there were extra drinks added to the bill! Never again.

Service was slow waiting for an hour for food. The selection of food was not fantastic for a lunchtime menu.

An amazing place, food was really tasty with a varied menu. We weren't rushed at any point and the atmosphere is very cosy. We will definitely be going back.

Very enjoyable late lunch today. Starters were good & 2 main courses also very good but my cheese pie had very hard pastry so not easy to eat. Pleasant servers & helpful bar manager ( good beer to)

Excellent meal, great service, good price for the quality produced. Would recommend and will be back when I am next in the area.

Beautiful place to wine and dine. Full of character and beautiful gardens and setting. Most importantly the food and service is excellent.

Superb classic pub. Friendly helpful staff. Sometimes get some cracking ales there

Very comprehensive menu to suit all tastes, changed according to the season. Mains items vary in price but generally good value for money.Large free car park.

Had a really nice lunch with friends here. I've never been before and found it to be a lovely place. The service was excellent as was the food. Definitely worth a visit

Far too overpriced for everything but is nice on the inside

Worsley Old Hall is easily our most visited pub. The staff are great, the food is great, the beer is great. What more can you ask for. They're dog friendly in the bar area and the outside is amazing (when it's dry). Highly recommended

Really lovely, tasty food and staff were very friendly and pleasant. Perfect place to go after a nice walk round RHS

A beautiful building with a nice, large garden. Lovely staff. But the food was somewhat underwhelming. My 'Light Bite' meal was just that! One ½ slice of ciabatta bread, with two tiny pieces of spinach and 9 mushroom pieces, which if I had put them together, equated to maybe just 3 mushrooms. This cost £12.25 and was not worth it. The food order got mixed up which meant ½ of our party had to wait for their meals. Would not bother to order food here again. But would call for a drink as the staff are so nice.

We are regular visitors to RHS Bridgewater and having discovered Worsley Old Hall last year, we make sure we have lunch here in the middle of our day out. We both opted for the light bite option and chose the fish cake which came in a delicious white wine sauce with peas, pancetta and tiny onions. We ordered an additional serving of chips to share. Our waitress was so pleasant and very helpful. We are always happy to return here!

We attended Andys 40th Birthday celebration on 28th September 2024 and can only say what an amazing night. Congratulations and thank you to Ryan and his team . Excellent food, excellent service and what a beautiful venue. Well done to all of you, a night we'll never forget 👏 Thank you

First the good points. The venue is nice and very pleasing to the eye. Staff are helpful and polite. The bad points The food is overpriced and not good quality. £5 for a small portion of frozen chips £7.95 for 3 chicken wings (you can get 50 for this price at Leigh market) The curried soup was too peppery. Mash was lumpy. King prawn linguine had only 6 prawns for £18.95 I could go on. This place is fur coat and no knickers. Definitely overpriced for the quality of the food

Lovely environment, pleasant and efficient staff, on the pricey side but good quality. I tried the sausage and mash and my pal had the chicken burger. The food was nice and piping hot. Ordered 2 soda waters one with a shot of lime and was shocked to be charged £2.40 for a shot of lime! I only realised this when we got the bill as surprisingly the soda water was free. Won’t put me off but thought it was a bit much for a splash of cordial. Would happily pay £1.

Such a great pub for both food and drink. We had Ellie as our server and she was great. We'll definitely be returning soon.

Ellie is brilliant. She's the best.

Had such a lovely experience at Worsley Old Hall, the food was delicious and our server Ellie was so welcoming & friendly. Will definitely be back! Thankyou!

Cosy pet friendly, lovely staff

Nice to see another of people out in the garden and some sunshine

We had an amazing time at Worsley Old Hall for the Oktoberfest event! The German beers were fantastic, and the food hit the spot, especially with the lively atmosphere. Free pretzels were a nice touch! The first musician on guitar was enjoyable, but the highlight was definitely the Jäger Maestros Oompah band – they had the whole crowd singing "Ein Prosit" and dancing along. Big shoutout to Matt and Hannah, the event managers, who were a great laugh and handled everything smoothly, even after our 12th pint! Prost!

Good atmosphere and nice staff but the food was very disappointing. Got the steak burger and the bun was dry and the burger had very little flavour unfortunately.

The pub is situated in a lovely area, the golf and the gardens around are amazing. The building is gorgeous and well preserved, wonderful!! The environment is quiet, pleasant music, polite and friendly staff. Kids and dogs friendly. The food has an outstanding presentation, tasty and well confectioned. Desserts are 'a piece of heaven '😉. The portions are good value for money. Staff is very professional, friendly and always making sure you have everything and that you are enjoying. Well done, working an extra mile to serve you well. It was a gratifying experience, very pleased.

Beautiful 1600s pub with large garden. Good food selection though somewhat pricey. Friendly efficient staff. Recommended

Great place for families & dogs

Dog friendly and great outdoor seating! We went for breakfast and there was a good variety 🥰

Lovely pub but annoyingly long bar queue with no kind of queuing system

As always great food, service and venue.

A very popular venue in the heart of Worsley. Family and dog friendly, real fires, great food from a varied menu. Great range of real ales, wine and gins all served by friendly and attentive staff.

The food is very poor. I had roastbeef. The Yorkshire pudding was as hard as a rock. The potatoes where hard. And the slice beef was poor.

Great atmosphere, delicious food, pet-friendly

It is a nice pub, family friendly. Very kind, helpful staff. They serve the typical pub, British classics, like fish and chips, Sunday Roast, some quiches and lots more. Good quality and fresh. I do recommend to stop by, even if it is for a few drinks and maybe some starters.

One of the most picturesque pubs I've ever visited with the most wonderful gardens.

We had enjoyed our visit to the Bridgewater RHS in the morning but the food offering there is limited and the atmosphere manic in the cafe area. Consequently we decided to head elsewhere for lunch and hit upon Worsley Old Hall. The service was great with a warm welcome from Sean who sorted a table for us and advised on the menu. The food was good quality, served promptly and at a reasonable price. All in all a very pleasant experience.

An amazing buzz to be there as being a Worsley it meant a lot.

I visit the Marriott a fair bit, and always make a point of visiting the Worsley Old Hall. The food is always delightful, the service is friendly and efficient, and it’s a beautiful building making for a very pleasant dining experience.

Our first visit in a couple of years to Worsley Old Hall delivered a pleasant meal, served by friendly staff. Whilst the main bar area was very busy and lively, the dining room to the side provided a relaxed setting to enjoy our meal, which included starters of crispy calamari and marinated feta, mains of feather of beef and pork belly, with a side of fries, and deserts of sticky toffee pudding and creme brulee. All were very good and reasonably priced. Whilst we enjoyed a bottle of tempranillo and the Timothy Taylor Boltmaker, my dining partner was a little disappointed that there are no cocktails on the menu at Worsley Old Hall. All in our meal and drinks came in at under £120, which was good value.

Met up with five work friends. Sat outside on the gardens as it was a beautiful day. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food and service. Staff were very helpful and overall an excellent experience. Will definitely be back soon!

Always reliably excellent. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food.

Very busy for a midweek late afternoon/early evening. Recently reopened after refurbishment of premises. No Ladies Toilets on ground floor but first floor rest-room is impressive. Visited with a group and no individual bills available...could be embarrassing as menu items were wide ranging in cost. Drinks: soft , non-alcoholic, and alcoholic were very expensive....£9 for a standard glass of house white wine. Perhaps I am out of touch but I did not feel that Worsley Old Hall is not a good option for a family visit. Lovely setting in pretty grounds. Adequate car-parking.

Been coming here for many years, way back to when they used to have Jacobite evenings with traditional mead! So that's some time ... I always find it relaxing and nothing is too much trouble. I love the fact people can bring their dogs too. Kids are welcome too, but there's not lots of things for them to do, except run around and enjoy the lawns, which is nice as it means you can hear yourselves talking and kids quietly laughing in the background. The grounds are lovely too. Can be difficult to park though, particularly in summer months, and there's not always enough shade if you sit out in summer either. Food is always hot, they've changed the menu recently and it's a little more expensive than it used to be, but the food is good, and plenty of it.
