Top 30 Best Classic pub food in Manchester

“Brilliant pub, quiet and peaceful, with a great history! Used to be a music hall back in the 1800's so has been there for a long time. If you want a quiet drink or catch the footie it's a great place to go. Also a great place to have meet ups and functions too! They have a nice little back room that our theatre company rehearses in from time to time and they are always very nice and accomodating! Seriously can't praise this place enough!”

“Nice pub, friendly towards my family. Will certainly go again.”

“What a hidden gem this place is. Went for a mates 40th and it was like stepping into pheonix nights, totally loved it. The DJ was 70 odd, but he was spinning some right tunes. Thanks for a great night”

“Went to the Boundary Stone for a family meal on Thursday 10/11/2022 it was our first time and already booked for next week. Food was very tasty and well presented we all enjoyed our meals. All the staff was extremely welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend very cosy.”

“It's a great place to enjoy a nice meal at one of the restaurants before heading to the Vue cinema what is inside the building complex. The car park is next door but this time we took the bus as the kid's ticket is £1 and the adult ticket is £2 and it worked out better this time than the parking£££.”

“This is a very well located pub/hotel for visiting Glossop main street and the surrounding countryside. The room was a good size, recently decorated, with a good bathroom. We didn't eat there, but the menu looked good. Breakfast was also available from 9.00am. The room and the food were very reasonably priced. Very nice helpful staff which made for an enjoyable stay.”

“Service and staff were fantastic. The food was really nice at dinner time..Breakfast in the morning was freshly prepared and really good quality/ value. The rooms albeit a little small were warm and very clean. Piping hot water for the showers, very comfy bed and quiet .. can't fault it will be back”

“Went for Mother's day meal. Lovely location. The restaurant nice and light, tables not all cramped together. Staff very friendly helpful and attentive. Food was good nice size portions. Will be going back again.”

“One of the best Sunday roasts I've had, the sharing platter was incredible and had all the extras you could want. Honey roasted parsnips were incredible and the meat was perfect. Will definitely be back.”

“Awesome, friendly staff. Ridiculous choice of beers on tap (see photos) plus spirits, burgers, flaming cocktails and anything else you could want. Chilled, mixed crowd. Skateboard mural. Neon signs. Secret door. 10/10 would drink there again :)”

“Went for lunch with a friend. Food and service was great. Friendly and helpful staff. Large outdoor area and dog friendly. Love this pub. I've actually been going to the plough since 1976 and it's always been a lovely place. I'd recommend it any day of the week.”

“Nice feeling to the place and good food with good portion and good price. Was great to see chips were not mandatory like so many meals out. Staff friendly and obviously get along making it very pleasant.”

“Cute ‘not so little’ place with big list of teas , interesting coffees like ‘lavander latte’ and huge and tasty home baked cakes. Welcoming and lovely people.”

“Over the course of a few hours I had lovely interactions with so many staff members here. They are wonderful. From giving our dog treats and water to checking our food was okay, the service here is great. I love the atmosphere and it's very well priced. Lovely evening”

“Stopped off here for a quick drink and to watch the cyclist for IronMan going past with a group of friends. As we were waiting at the bar to be served the food coming out of the kitchen smelt great so we asked the girls on the bar for a quick look at the menu. The staff were brilliant, we asked them if they could stick the F1 on for us and they did straight away. We were indecisive as to whether to order food or not but one of the girls talked us round, we had a laugh and a bit of banter with her. The food arrived promptly & was homely, freshly cooked & tasty pub grub, all for a reasonable price. Highly recommend the Sunday Lunch & the Cheese & Onion Pie. Looking forward to our next visit already.”

“Great pub, nice atmosphere and the food looks great. Limited beers as it's their own beers but there are run of the mill drinks. Nice pub to sit in on a Sunday. Had a chap playing guitar and singing, not loud but just enough. Highly recommended.”

“First time coming on Saturday. Lovely decor, great atmosphere, lovely server's. Food, waited short of 40 minutes. Why? This is where others would moan, ( because it is all homecooked food. ) and it certainly is worth the wait. Tieing in with the Kings arms on grains Road for food standard and presentation. I now have a new favourite. Also as a family I dread going for food with my youngest as he can have meltdowns, not one eyelid batted, or a word said so thank you.we managed to stay the full meal! Great work! And hats off to the chef.”

“What an amazing pub and eatery! Been in a few times,the new chef has some tricks up his sleeves , had the steak burger and my girlfriend had the lasagne, probably the least daring choice on the menu and still blew us away! 100% recommend eating here, stayed for a few hours afterwards for drinks too! Staff were brilliant too! Highly recommend!”

“Very impressed with the food this time..staff very helpful love the big screen out back for the footie..like the one way system..”

“Absolutely first class. Staff are very informative and the food was just beautiful. I actually think that it was the best meal I’ve ever had. This was relayed to the waitress too, who rang a bell at the side of the kitchen for recognition of their high standard of food. I would definitely recommend the T bone steak too, it was delicious. Thank you for making our valentines meal one to remember. In hines sight, the £10 tip wasn’t enough!”

“A good variety of dishes on the menu served by very helpful, friendly staff, in pleasant surroundings. Once ordered, be prepared to wait as everything is freshly cooked.”

“Very nice Sunday lunch served piping hot and excellent service well recommended would definitely go again.”

“Fantastic pub to visit. The food is first class the staff are wonderful. Lovely atmosphere. Large car park and disabled access throughout. It can get very busy, very popular so I would recommend ringing in advance especially Sunday.”
