The best restaurants serving British food in Manchester North West

Brilliant place, excellent friendly dj, Martin the Mod, that plays the best music. Definitely recommended.

We visited The Shakespeare, Manchester last weekend and had an amazing Christmas lunch and other food. The service was professional, friendly and informative. Lovely afternoon spent shopping with great food. The recent refurbishment is 10/10 and perfect for a relaxing meal and drinks for all.

We came for breakfast but it had gone lunch time by the time we were served. We also advised that we had moved tables to inside as we were waiting in the wind and rain for over an hour and we were told "you can't do that. That won't go down well with the kitchen." I asked again at the bar if we could move tables due to the weather and someone else said it was absolutely fine so I'm unsure what the issue was. Although it took a while and the service of the staff wasn't great the food was really nice.

A really nice pub which is hard to find these days.The bar staff was quick and helpful. This place takes Cash and card best of both worlds. You can smoke here on the terrace which is above a river which was nice to have a drink outside even in November will go back to this lovely pub again.

I had an exceptional experience there. Me and my friends have been Atleast 25 times. It’s almost a religious experience each time we visit manny. However the one time we did visit the new staff treated us like dirt. He was serving his friends but refused to serve us. I will never forget that experience. It reflects nothing on the pub and the experience but it does say a lot about my opinion as a bar man myself, as if felt very hypocritical.

As always when we are staying in the Marriott we love the walk to the romper love this place food and drinks great all the staff are lovely and remember us highly recommend we will be back

Tasty, affordable English breakfast! Good portions, everything cooked just right, and a relaxed vibe. Perfect spot to start the day!

I don’t usually leave reviews but that wasn’t great. Was over £20 for 2 very small portions with bad chips and for service from a rather grumpy lady at the desk. A shame because there’s few places that do gluten free so was looking forward to it. Don’t think I will be visiting again.

It is a unique place. Lowry mixing with rock legends. Good honest food fine staff great pies

Revisited the pub yesterday after 30 years away. Wow. Well done. Wish I still lived on Perrygate avenue! West Didsbury forever!

Can not give a good review because I was not allowed in, perfectly sober, well dressed but the bouncer thought I was straight so therefore gave me some rubbish about single entry not allowed. Discrimination laws work both ways and I will be taking it further. Just for your information I am a gay guy who just happens to be straight acting. With the smoking ban coming these pubs will loose 12% of trade but this obviously does not bother them.

Very nice place in the centre of MCR. Unfortunately I have to consider food no good as we expected for being a traditional kitchen. We had fish and chips, with fish soggy in the oil, chips uncooked and a baked lemon (why not fresh???). They don't have a local beer in the restaurant menu, but they have foreign drinks such as Italian beer, south Africa red wine (???) and so on. I was forced to have Pinot Grigio Rosé (What's that??? We don't serve it now ere here in IT) and was not good, tasted like gasoline. I drunk it just because it was very expensive for being so awful, I wanted to forget. My ears were in pain for the music inside, they have the best musician in the world but they don't recognize and appreciate them at all. By the way, staff was very gentle and professional and they make a discount on the bill. Greetings.

Not changed in 25 years. Pub, beer food

Didn't stay just went in for a couple of drinks, it's a nice place for a drink

After getting off the train in Manchester before meeting other friends before a flight to Riga we called into this nice old traditional pub for a drink and a bite to eat in the centre of the city. I had the chicken and bacon club sandwich on baguette with chips at £9.50 with an alcoholic drink which was plentiful and delicious on this lunchtime special.
