Worsley Old Hall in Salford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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.

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.

This was my first visit here and as i drove into the place i thought this is a bit lardy da posh, and it was very nice inside too. And, sadly, that’s where it ended. The food was awful. Totally and utterly tasteless and expensive too. i had the fillet steak sandwich with chips. A massive piece of bread with hardly any filling, so it just disappeared inside the bread. Chips were just normal frozen, vile things. When asked for ketchup and mustard, we got a tatty bottle which hadn’t been wiped and the mustard came in the jar with a spoon stuck in it. I’d no idea who’d had their grubby fingers on that spoon before it came to us. It just wasn’t very ‘tidy’. No point having a lardy da place being let down by the food and presentation. I’ve no idea why this place was so busy. I won’t be back. Too many other places who offer better for less

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.

The service was good however the portion size was too small for the price paid. There was nowhere near enough veg on the plate, the food was nice just not enough of it. The dessert was also really good. Low star just based on portion size.

Really excellent service at this lively ‘pub’. Food was superb try the lamb shoulder with superbly cooked and prepared veg. A real treat !!

Visited on a gorgeous sunny Saturday and the place was heaving, seating outside was impossible to find but as we wanted some nice food we found a table inside by the bar area. We were a bit worried about the waiting time as the place was so busy the food came within 15 mins. I had the slow cooked shoulder of lamb with rosemary gravy, everything was absolutely delicious, the meat fell off the bone and every mouthful of the dauphinois packed buttery flavour! My fella had the steak burger and it was about 2 inches thick, perfectly cooked and juicy. Afterwards we managed to bag a table outside and enjoy the sun with a few drinks. Well worth the visit. They had a birthday party going on under a marquee with its own outdoor bar, so would be a great location for an event too

Best pub for miles around. Absolutely love it here.

We came as a group of 8 and were put in the 'quiet room' which is code for the forgotten about room. We had to ask to order, we had to ask for our plates to be cleared after every course, ask when we wanted more drinks. Service was not great in there. This isn't the first time this has happened where we are forgotten in that room. It needs a member of staff looking after at all times. We've been in a private room and its been great service! The veggie roast was poor, very dry and lacking in flavour, thank god for cauli cheese! Not rushing back.

Very comprehensive menu to suit all tastes at reasonable prices in the current economic climate. Large free car park.

Thankyou to all the staff who helped make my Mums 90th surprise party so special yesterday. The young lad who took all our individual orders and served us was brilliant Nothing was too much trouble. Every person thoroughly enjoyed the food and venue. We had a great time. Thankyou

Called in without booking on a Sunday, The Roast beef lunch was one of the best ,pink beef,huge crunchy Yorkshire pud, good selection of veg, excellent value

Lovely friendly welcoming pub!! Fabulous events and entertainment here thank you! Had a great day!

We went for brunch and the food was great. Really tasty and generous portion sizes, the croissants were especially good. The staff were all friendly and it was dog friendly (we don't have a dog but our little girl loved looking at them).

Great place for lunch. The sun was shining and we were able to sit outside. The menu had a great choice of meals to choose from and there was a great choice of cask ales from micro breweries for those who like that sort of thing. Will definitely have lunch there again. Highly recommended.

Lovely place for lunch outside. Beautiful surroundings

The best veggie full English I’ve had. Thankfully, no make believe mushed up pretend sausages, proper veggie made from scratch croquettes, great quality vegetables used clearly. Coffees are good, a tad overpriced but overall super happy with the experience. Gorgeous antiquated decor, lovely gardens and leisure areas.

Great hidden gem, amazing outdoor space

We had a lovely meal and the service was good. There's plenty of room in the large garden to eat al fresco or enjoy a cigar. Unfortunately, when we returned to the bar for an after dinner drink, it was absolutely packed and deafeningly loud with everyone shouting over each other. So, I recommend dining early.

We discovered this little gem on a sunny Saturday afternoon and we spent a very lovely few hours in the garden enjoying a few drinks and the sunshine. The building is so full of character. The staff were friendly and although we weren't there for food other people's plates looked delicious

Really great food, and service with gluten free and all my other allergies catered for! No problem with substitutions, and wait staff really checked with me that everything I ordered was safe for me! big👍

We went for our wedding anniversary and had a very good experience. The food is excellent with a varied menu on offer meaning you should be able to find several choices, there is also a good choice of beers, wines and spirits to select from. The staff are friendly, chatty and the service was excellent. We were there mid afternoon (booked for 4.00pm) and it was fairly quiet, but it is worth booking as it is very popular and had started to fill when we left. Well worth the money paid and I would thoroughly recommend a visit.

Nice place, quite expensive though, about £6 a pint. Food is ok, but again on the expensive side

Lovely place and great outside are,dog friendly with lovely walks around it

Efficient, friendly & helpful staff. I had the light bites lunchtime feta quiche - good portion & delicious, as was the salad accompaniment. Followed up with the small dessert plate - sticky toffee pudding & Ice cream together with a coffee. The pudding was also delicious, nice & light despite looking really rich, great flavour & paired perfectly with the ice cream.

An excellent setting ... peaceful and beautifully maintained x

Lovely pub in a beautiful setting. Excellent service and tasty food.

Happy with everything, love setting outside....

Lovely place.excellent food. Beautiful gardens Dog friendly.

Been eating out at Worsley Old Hall for over 25 years now, because it has lovely ambience and outside gardens beautifully set out-- and ideal for families, keeping kids happy. But regrettably, over time, the menu has become less than exciting,, the portions,( okay for a child) and prices far from value for money. - you need to increase food portions-- to match your prices, at a more acceptable level. Three of us went home still feeling peckish, after spending £69 on mains with a drink-not good!! So come on Worsley Old Hall management, get your act together-- you have a fantastic venue-- so give us fantastic food!!! 😘

Lovely old build with spacious bar and resturant. Gets busy at times so best to book a table. Staff friendly and food very excellent. Plenty of parking. Not far from RHS Bridgewater and g9od firva walk and lunch.

Busy location, but we were served quickly and the food was great - we'll be back for sure!

First visit here and was highly impressed. Excellent food, lovely surroundings, nice atmosphere and friendly service

Was a little bit noisy in the pub part.. but that was because it was very busy. The restaurant was lovely. The food was excellent The staff were very helpful & Friendly. Really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend this restaurant.

A fantastic hidden gem. First time visiting today and definitely not the last. The place is stunning inside and out. Decoration complemented the building. The staff were fantastic! Very helpful and provided a warm welcome. We had coffee and breakfast this morning and the food was incredible nice and a good choice. I'd recommend booking a table in advance to get the beat tables. The place is large and would suit large bookings, family parties or weddings. I'd highly recommend a visit if you're a couple wanting a relaxing drink. I noticed events for life music advertised aswell. They had an amazing outside area that will be fantastic in the summertime with space for children to enjoy as well as adults. There's a plenty of walking trails on the door step and we found parking easy and with plenty of spots 10/10

Excellent food and good service and atmosphere. I would highly recommend.

Nice easy menu, staff are always nice and helpful and not overly expensive

Beautifully situated ‘pub’ with extensive drinks and food available. Service excellent.

Wandered in on a wet Sunday evening. Couldn't believe the fantastic atmosphere. Super busy. Had fantastic meal in restaurant. Good value and great hearty warming meal.

Food and service has improved since last there. It is now a very good venue for lunch or meeting. Friendly helpful staff

Lovely venue very unique, plenty of space and dogs welcome in the main bar. Lovely gardens, seating available inside and out, separate area for dining and private dining room Available upstairs, good drinks menu and grey food menu. Definitely worth a visit. Can get busy at peak times. Child friendly

The experience at Worsley Old Hall was as usual very good. The staff are extremely helpful and the meal very enjoyable.

Meat was tough. Other tables complained also

I liked the lamb and the side that came with. Really nice interior.

Food and service was very good. Might have gone on the wrong night but it was very busy and a little noisy

Some starters were nice, lamb was good but my chicken burger was burnt to the ground, literally black burnt. I send it back and order some belly pork starters instead, they were fatty and also burnt. Only the fries were undercooked! No one ever checked back on us, at any point. Service is sad, long and not welcome. I definitely wouldn’t come back.

Amazing pub in a beautiful building with a lovely beer garden. Can get busy on weekends. Food looks great though we only went for drinks unfortunately.

The seafood tagliatelle was awful. Description was seafood and sausages in it. Dry with no sauce. It was like a bad home fixed meal.

Had fish chips peas was very nice except chips were cold Place nice Service good

Booked a table for 5 adults and a toddler for 11.30, when according to the booking page the ‘indoor tables’ are available and the brunch menu ends so the main menu must start right? Wrong!! 10 mins after being seated and being told he would be back with the menus we still had no menus and no drinks. We went to find the person who seated us, we were told ‘the menus are just being printed’. Surely this is something that should have already been done earlier in the day. I am fully aware that the menu changes daily but would you not know by say 11am what was going to be available so they can be printed earlier. Another 5 minutes pass and we are told the menus won’t be ready until midday. 30 mins after our reservation. Finally our drinks order was taken. So 40 mins after our arrival the food order was taken. Over an hour after we arrived the 1st adult meals came out, they weren’t even hot. The child’s meal was the last to appear, 10 mins after the 1st adult meals. Now I’m no expert but surely it’s common sense that the kids meal should be one of the 1st meals served to keep them occupied etc. To be asked ‘is everything ok with your meals’ when we were still waiting for the kids meal is baffling. By the way the kids meal was red hot so couldn’t even be eaten straight away. Needless to say I will not be back in a hurry.

great place...after a walk or a game of golf or just a meeting place for a lovely meal or a huge sunday roast really friendly and pleasent staff.

Greta place with kids park and massive green area

Service often very very slow at busy times. The building itself is beautiful. My food came out cold, and by the time it had been reheated, everyone else had eaten.

The worst Sunday lunch we’ve ever had, served by a very rude manager. Ordered and paid for a kids Sunday roast only to be given fried chicken and chips for my toddler. The manager said “well it’s not on the menu” even though we had one about a month ago. The meal itself came with a drop of gravy, stale roasties and awful veg. Tables left dirty and not cleared, had to ask someone twice to please remove the glasses and plates. We were half way through our meal by the time the table was cleared from the previous diners. The bar staff were sound and atmosphere is good after a walk but wouldn’t return for food again.

Cannot compliment the service here enough , Sean the barman / waiter , he is outstanding a credit to this establishment, couldn’t do enough for us and everyone else , just for the service alone will be coming back They also do a fabulous gluten free menu , I’m coeliac so it’s a struggle to dine out , five stars definitely

Great food with excellent customer service 👌🏽

Staff are super friendly Food always gives me and my family a bad stomach, and its heavily over priced

Good food and good value. We were in side room and atmosphere not as good. You don't feel part of the same place

High end pub grub with an interesting menu and varied bar that makes you want to try it again. Was served by Matt who provided excellent service and was very attentive to our needs. Very nice garlic bread.

Lovely food staff looked after us nice evening

My visit with my friend was 6ish in the evening and already it was busy with families and golfers from the nearby golf course. I arrived first and explained my friend would follow and ordered a hot chocolate. The staff made sure I was comfortable on my own, showed me to a great table and assured me that they would ensure my friend could find me in this busy place. The food, the attentive and caring service were exemplary. I especially liked the staff and will definitely return.

Food and service were exceptional. It's such a stunning venue. 😍

Always nice here! Usually busy but service is decent

Bit expensive but good food sat in front of the log fire and well trained, happy, friendly staff. Good pub to take the Mrs.

I go to “the old hall” for a midweek pint or the occasional swift one of a weekend. WOH have several guest ales and traditional, and if you are lucky enough to be served by Sean, he will take you on a guided journey for your thirsty pallet. Sean is always friendly, patient, humorous and informative when serving my frosty beverage. Sean is one of the best barmen I have encountered in my thirst-laden existence.

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.

First visit and blown away. Quality on every metric. Please pass out thanks and appreciation to the entire team.

The scallops were cooked to perfection, had the quiche which was just as good. Definitely be going back

Words to describe: dog friendly, cosy, warm, nice atmosphere, service timely, good options for both food and drinks.

Appalling. Supposed to be dog friendly. You can't book a table though in the area where dogs are allowed and when we turned up all the tables were full of folk not eating. Why not allow bookings. Six of us left disappointed.

Good service and good food. Haven't been there for years. Whoever has it now doing a good job.

Beautiful setting, lovely atmosphere on a cold winters day. Busy but good service too which was nice

Lovely building, great food, great beers. As a bit of constructive feedback certain barstaff could do with a refresher on pouring cask ales & Guinness

Had lovely food, great atmosphere and great service. Not sure of our waitresses name but might have been Beth? She's fab and will definitely be back. Thanks

Bit noisy with quite a few children (not that there's anything wrong with children 🤣) but late evening wasn't expecting it

Amazing setting and great food and service

Booked a table for 8.15pm, took ages to find a parking space so lucky we had setted off early. Got to reception which was unmanned, stood for 10 minutes with waitresses running around and could see we were waiting but ignored. After standing for another 5 minutes went inside to see if we could find someone to assist but was just brushed off. Left very disappointed and hungry, won't be going again

I brought all my family of eight because I wanted them to experience what myself and my husband had the previous year and as usual, we were not disappointed. All my family loved the food, the atmosphere, the ambiance and the service we received. We will definitely be making this our annual family visit on New Year’s Eve and of course my birthday visit also.

Lovely place to bring your family for snacks, meals and drinks - hot and cold. Flat white coffee was excellent. Brie,Bacon,Turkey ciabatta was excellent with cranberries and some green leaves. Tad expensive but it is New Years eve. Would have been a 5 all round but we had a yapping little dog next to us!!

Fabulous boxing day meal with the family

Good food and beer went with a gruppi of 9 services good

A very nice place and homely feeling but very pricey be prepared to pay big bucks (larger and wine £14)

Great place. Always a decent beer selection. Dog friendly. Decent Sunday roast.

We visit here often and as a coeliac love the varied menu I can eat from. Staff are very friendly and polite. We had the 1st thing we have ever had to send back, but they were lovely about it and we chose something else.

We called in for a quick drink k after visiting RHS Garden Bridgewaters Glow. Lovely and warm with real fires. Very cosy and welcoming.

Food and service were both amazing, but it was crazy busy due to Christmas markets....

Cosy, friendly atmosphere and the food was very good.

Basic menu but high quality food. Great service and a relaxing ambiance. Lovely staff, free parking and a great beer selection. Would recommend a visit

It's an absolutely lovely place to meet friends and have a nice meal, especially at Christmas, when it's all decorated so beautifully

Went for brunch with friends. First visit for 2 years. Brilliant atmosphere, lovely helpful staff, good food. This will become a regular visit.

Lovely place, just very busy at the weekend

Stunning setting, great food. Service not top-notch when busy!

A gastro-pub that relies on the neighbours (both in the surrounding area and the hotel next-door, which it is unconnected to) for most of its trade. It's a beautiful old building with a massive beer-garden and plenty of space inside, too (but it is advisable to book a table for food). The food is divine, and come in at just under £10 for the starters and often just under £20 for the mains. While some staples remain, the menu is revised daily. I've pretty much eaten my way through the menu, and there was nothing that was below par. There's a good selection of drinks (including non- alcoholic options, which is gadget as there is a large car park) Front of house staff are attentive and polite, although you get the impression that for some it is a stop-gap whilst waiting for sobering better to come up. Some are friendly and chatty, but should perhaps take more care about what they say (regaling patrons about how hungover they are following the night before is not to everyone's liking!). Seasonal specials (pigs in blankets, mulled wine, and -yes- Christmas trees) are available, too, at this time of year..

Food was great quality and a beautiful relaxed surrounding. I'm not a fan of pub food and taking family out to a pub, but Worsley old hall is perfect for both.
