Pigs in blankets are available at an extra charge. There's a great selection of vegetables. Lovely roast potatoes, boiled potatoes, mushy peas, cauliflower cheese, broccoli, mixed vegetables. 3 types of gravy. Vegetarian, meaty gravy and gravy with peppercorns. The usual sauces are available, apple, cranberry, mint. Our server was Marc who was just delightful. Me and my friend will definitely be coming back.”

“Visiting from Edinburgh, I decided to try out your club. It wasn’t usually my particular scene, but soo glad I did come in. I enjoyed it so much I returned a second night. I would like to really say that the venue is not only immaculate, the staff were very friendly also. Making us really welcome. I really wanted to mention your door steward. One girl who was on the door that night is an asset to your club. Not only did she keep the club safe, her observation is incredible. She spotted two male individuals that were about to be a serious problem and she spotted it well before it escalated. One particular male was very threatening toward my girlfriend who I was there with. Your steward removed him before it got me into a difficult situation. I understand it’s not easy to stop the problem at the door, but she did an impeccable job. Many thanks for allowing us access and we will re visit again.”

“Awesome food. Great waitress who served us. Cannot remember her name but she has 10 nieces and nephews she was telling us. She's was great with our 4 year old. She is a credit to the Airport Pub. When we return to fly from man we will certainly return. Great to watch the planes land. My little one and big kids loved it”

“Food was delicious and staff were welcoming. Pet friendly around the bar/restaurant area which was lovely as we were took our pup Daphne. Was too quick to start eating the food so no photo’s were taken!!”

“Another great experience at The English Lounge… an 80th private party recently, where everyone had a great time. The staff, as always, very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. Particular thanks to Michael, Kieron and Dannie for looking after us all.”

“I ordered the chicken club, it was really good and the serving time was ok too. Lola, the waitress was super friendly and helpful, she gave us great recommendations on not only the food but other local places.”

“Had a great meal at the Waterside tonight celebrating a 21st birthday. The pub was busy, had a great atmosphere and the food was great and very well presented, but what stood out was the fantastic service from the whole team serving us, with Vicky in particular doing a great job of not only looking after the whole table, but also paying attention to the youngest member of the group.”

“I would recommend the comedy store any day of the week. Staff were pleasant . Place was clean and tidy and in a prime location near to other events in the heart of Manchester. Its quite a large venue which could seat around 200 people as an estimate. maybe they offer to hire out the venue? i dont know but its worth mentioning. Would be back very soon. House beer was great!! Enjoy it!!!!”

“Absolutely excellent would recommend having a Party here xx staff are really welcome and joined in with the christening we have had today xx”

“Haven't been for years, very nice decor, great atmosphere, food excellent value and piping hot. We had mainly toasted ciabatta and fries, which were all delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. Deserts were good too. There were plenty of people eating, which is always a good sign”

“Recently renovated and is now actually worth going inside! They were making all the new menu food photos while I was in last. That food looked really good! Beer is good and wine selection is also good. Breakfast is also good!”

“Fantastic meal ,,great portion size ,lovely lean n meat selection,lovely friendly staff especially Alex ,,”

“Service second to none, food is incredible and such good value. Tracey always makes the dining experience here that much more pleasurable”

“Scott has been walking my dog, Rupert, for nearly 1.5 years. He started doing puppy visits initially until he was vaccinated which he then joined the group walks. Throughout it all Scott has been amazing with him and Rupert gets so excited every time he gets picked up! The best touch on it is the updates via Instagram stories where I can see my little boy running around being happy. I highly recommend the value of the service for the price compared to doggy day care.”

“Great little secret gem of a place. The friendly atmosphere of the pub and great food served on weekends. The best bit Is how the dogs are more than welcome than the kids. X”

“What a great place. One of my favourite pubs. Huge selection of ales, really well priced, brilliant atmosphere and hand made pizzas on a weekend. Can't beat it if you like beer.”

“Marble Brewery are one of the best brewers around in my view. Their new tap has hit the ground running. On my visit, there was Pint on cask, in addition to 9 varied keg offerings and a full fridge. Great use of the space given its purpose and a place I'll return to.”
