Mottram Wood - Pub & Carvery

"1st the not so good. Car park needs a little work, bushes overhang spaces, 1 bollard knocked over & lying on the floor, large pothole at entrance. Pub decor showing its age and is a little worn. Tables and menus were sticky, all got the usual quick spray and wipe over but could do with a bit more of a thorough clean. Knifes and forks are kept on the tables and 50% were dirty and unusable, no real excuse for that. Toilets were clean and tidy, again decor is a little tired. Tuesday lunchtime pub was quiet and not too many staff available so service was a little slow. Now the good. The staff were very friendly, helpful and very personable people. The carvery and desserts were EXCELLENT, very nicely cooked, flavoursome and well presented. Portions size was good. Summary The catering sector has suffered in recent years and I dare say margins are tight which might account for the decor. Just a bit more work on the table cleanliness would be nice but all in all very good value. The food quality sold it for me. I will go back and do recommend the Mottram Wood."

"Had a lovely time here, food tasted amazing, great for family's as we was meeting friends with children so had stuff to keep the kids entertained. Staff really friendly. The only down side was there wasn't clear signs that the app wasn't working properly so ordered drinks twice on there and had a long wait time for drinks, and we was told when ordering food we could no buy extra Yorkshire puddings but then told we can later buy the staff working the carvery. Would definitely return and would recommend"

"came last night for a meal with friend. 10 of us had carvery which was fresh and meats were cooked perfectly. 5 of us had the normal menu a mixture of steak dishes and chicken all came out hot and fresh steaks cooked perfectly to what we asked for. The pub has really changed since we last visited much nicer inside. The staff were great and really helpful and friendly thank you for our great girls night out."

"Came yesterday with friends had a great meal staff were friendly and all seemed to be busy. The pub is really nice inside not what I expected at all. The food we had was great we came for carvery but the staff told us their delivery didn’t arrive these things happen. We ended up having the steak fondue I am actually glad the carvery was off as it was amazing defiantly worth a try if your a steak lover. Steak was cooked perfectly there is a chart at the till which was great. Would highly recommend as we really enjoyed our night and the bill wasn’t that expensive compared to other places. The man who appeared to be the manager was really friendly."

"Nipped in for a carvery lunch. As far as carvery- pretty impressed. Nice selection of veg and was all well cooked (no over cooked sprouts!)The chef carved us a good portion of meat and we were impressed to see the Yorkshire puds being home made. The only downside- as is often the case with buffet style food- temperature. Everything was just warm. It was quite after lunch when we came in but the buffet was set for 200. Maybe putting small batches out to order would work better during quiet times. We really appreciated the 20% blue light discount for NHS workers. Overall would recommend, and will return."
