The best restaurants serving British food in North West

Late night drinks. Decent door staff

Stop off for a quick drink, nit very busy but staff were great and friendly!

What an overpriced, overrated, unfriendly, disappointing place this turned out to be. I came in and was shocked to see just how expensive this place is. I know it's slap bang in the middle of didsbury but my oh my this place is expensive and for the price, the food isn't exceptional whatsoever. I ordered two fish, one lightly battered and one normal but when I got home I unwrapped two over cooked dark brown, heavily battered fish, greasy as hell with the most anemic chips you could imagine, and at the price of £19:20 you can guarantee I'm never going back and I'd advise others to stay well clear, but given its the only one about, I guess the residents don't really have much choice.

Absolutely awful.. cold food, very poor quality. Drinks flat & had to be changed. Staff no idea how to deal with customers

Bar area sticky like the varnish as lost it's shine and now Gluey your clothes stick to it the carpet is manky and tables are old the chairs many have stains on them as for the gents no flush in at least one no toilet paper dispenser in at least one taps not working clientele mixed and for the main full of characters bar staff helpful the pub needs a massive renovation asap as for the licencsee no comment

This hotel is in a ideal location, the rooms are beautiful, spacious and cosy. We ate an evening meal in the restaurant and breakfast in the morning and I couldnt fault a single thing. The staff are lovely and make you feel so welcome. Already booked our next couple of nights here.

I have enjoyed my afternoon in the Rose and Crown watching the football with a couple of beers. The staff and Ed and Bex were fantastic as usual. They make me so comfortable in the way they look after me and others. Thanks, Jim.

Terrible in every way. Restaurant was empty bar one other table. Started off receiving table service but never came to take our food order. Very basic menu. Toilets and baby change disgusting, didnt even want to touch the tap to wash our hands! We ordered from the bar, 4 adults meals and 2 children’s, priced over £100. We asked for the starters to come with rest of the food. After 25 mins the starters arrived with one child’s meal. That was it for another 40 minutes. One child sat waiting for their food to come whilst the other is eating the raw chips and cold beans. Eventually we asked the staff what was going on and were coldly told the 2nd child’s meal is on its way. Another 15 minutes and all the adults meals came out one by one. Two smash burgers that were like boulders, overcooked and under seasoned. No sauce or butter on the buns very dry. No condiments on the table and nobody around to ask for any. The chips were anaemic. Halloumi fry main’s were slabs of soggy batter with cold cheese inside. Again no garnish or seasoning. Most of the food we were served was left untouched as it was simply inedible. After leaving the restaurant we headed to the indoor play area, greeted with a smile from the 2 young staff working in there. Both very nice and offered the children some leftover sweets from the previous party. Play area was filthy, tables covered in unknown liquids and chips all over the floor, stuck to children’s socks etc! We noticed one of the young workers crying behind the desk, we checked on her as she couldn’t have been much older than 16. She had been treated horribly by the owner and his wife, spoken to abusively and drove to tears. Despite the owners wife often leaving their children with her for free childcare whilst she was working. We left after we knew she had someone coming to pick her up, only to hear and see the owner continuing the verbal abuse of the young girl possibly a third of his age from the outdoor park. On leaving he was angrily shouting whilst entering the restaurant. Not a very nice man and all in front of our toddlers! Avoid at all costs and don’t apply for a job here unless you want to be enslaved to this man and work in shoddy conditions.

Been going to the coach and four for a while, never seen a better pint of original poured by the lovely Lucy. Anthony was also amazing, what a character. They had me howling for ages 🤣 See you both soon

Got a full breakfast 1 word shocking

What a terrible disappointment. We have eaten at the green Man several times over the years. It’s gone from a vibrant country pub to a disaster. The pub is nice, the surroundings and Garden are beautiful But the food was diabolical!! There were 2 teenage girls running the pub, not a Manager or adult present. The young girls were very gracious but they were to inexperienced to deal with customers. The pub was empty, but for 9 people including our selves in the garden. The toilets were unclean. I specifically told the staff that I could not eat garlic, but the potatoes were cooked in Garlic, I also think the vegetables had garlic, even though the chef denied it. The beef was so tough it was inedible. I brought it home for the dog. No deserts were offered. We left at 6pm and the girls closed the pub after we left. The pub is apparently closed 3 days a week now. The Landlord or brewery need to get a grip, it cannot be a viable business any longer. One final thing, the small amount of potato I ate with garlic on made me feel very Ill. If it was a nut allergy and they ignored it, I could be very seriously ill now

I went there after a concert at Bridgewater Hall. The beef pie, fish and chips, salad, etc. were all delicious and impeccable. The calm atmosphere of the restaurant made for a relaxing time. The staff were also very friendly. I'd like to visit again if I have the opportunity.

A really nice meal - we had the set menu which is good value and pre-booked for 12 of us. Food enjoyed by all and had our own area too that was nice.

Myself and my partner stayed for one night here at Punchbowl inn. We can from Glasgow and were made feel most uncomfortable by the locals in the bar. Whilst we tried to enjoy our drinks. Being out in the middle of nowhere it made me quite uneasy to say the least and ruined our stay as even after the place closed they were hanging around. We were contacted by the manager and promised a free nights stay and dinner if we didn't leave a bad review. Time came we thought we would take up the offer, the condition was we had to stay two nights and pay £120 for one night and would stay the other night free, this wasn't the agreement. Wouldn't recommend.

Food was reasonable. However ridiculously overpriced
