“I went in here with my dad and brother. Staff are lovely and friendly, the pub was really clean, and the drinks were poured well. The pub is large too! Prices are great considering current prices and I've always like Holts' brand. A big plus is the location. The fact its in Gorton but doesn't attract riff raff is massive for me. You can drink here without feeling unsafe. Brand new pool table, free on Tuesdays.”

“Beautiful food, my partner had a stack I went for surf and turf... Very nice.... They was a little under staffed due to ill staff,,, it was a Friday night! The young lady that seated us made us welcome and explained their situation...... We only waited 15 to order food was their in ample time and cooked to perfection...... Worthy of a visit if your in the area.”

“Having had a previous bad experience here we gave it another chance. So pleased we did got the lunch specials 2 eggs 3,sausage chips and beans, and fish and chips the fish was about a good size well cooked and batter crisp had caramel apple Betty and custard and chocolate brownie for dessert with unlimited soft drinks bill was just over £20 excluding tips service was great. Cheaper than a takeaway and no washing up.”
