The Barking Dog 9a Higher Road, Urmston, Manchester M41 9AB

"An excellent pub, very nice friendly family atmosphere, drinks and food competitively priced. Staff are friendly and attentive. Ample parking on the road. definitely a 10/10 place. Highly recomended."

"5 of us and our dog visited this pub on a very wet Saturday early evening, looking for somewhere we could take our dog and have a meal whilst visiting our daughter at Salford uni for the weekend. Despite being very busy in the pub, the staff found us a table after a few minutes, and when we’d ordered our food it came within 25 mins. We ordered a variety of different dishes between us and they arrived absolutely piping hot and were delicious, in fact I would say the steak and ale pie was the best I’ve had for a long time. I would thoroughly recommend and we will definitely go there again when next up in the area. Thanks guys!!"

"The Barking dog is a great pub. In an age where there are trendy bars and themed drinks outlets popping up , it’s so good to see a traditional style pub going strong . The beers are great, the staff are great and the welcome is always on point, you can tell that the owner cares. They put a real effort into entertainment and have all sorts going on to cover most interests. Quizzes , DJs and more . The food is lovely and cooked with care . I’ve got a gluten allergy and when I queried the food the waitress did a great job going through the options . Now I’ve worked in hospitality for a along time , mostly in kitchens and if I was ever asked about allergies, especially gluten I would always say that although many items were gluten free , we do prepare food with flour etc and there could be a small chance that some flour could fall or ‘drift’ into another dish. This is highly unlikely and also wouldn’t be an Amount that would cause a problem but better safe than sorry. If someone has a serious allergy their safety comes first . So I appreciated the staffs honesty in relation to this and I went ahead and enjoyed a great meal. The place is well maintained and cleaned. It’s got great ventilation and felt really airy, yet cosy. Well done guys , keep up the good work and see you for a beer soon. When is the bald DJ on next ? He is hilarious. Take care !"

"Thought to be much better we will jam gonna tell with hardly anything in there as we had to wait an hour for our food. Place could do with dust, to get ride of the cobwebs everywhere, Yorkshire pudding looked like a flower pot and tasted of uncooked bread, Red cabbage soaking in vinaigrette,"

"Food was shockingly bad. I paid £9 for 6 chicken wings. Thats £1.50 per wing! Who is doing your pricing?! Total rip off. The chicken was unseasoned and the dip was essentially canned tomato. Just 0 flavour and no imagination. They originally sent me 3 chicken wings then saying they messed up the order meaning we had to wait for the 'large' portion....only to be greeted after 20minutes with yet another abysmal 3 wings. We could only laugh but my wallet is crying."
