Top 30 Best Pub food and drink in Manchester

“Anybody who loves their dog will appreciate how daunting it can sometimes be to go away and leave your dog. My dogs are my babies and so when it comes to going on holiday, I will only settle for the best care for them. Fiona is fantastic. From the first time when she came to visit my two dogs, it was clear to me that she loved them and was going to give them the care and attention which they need. My two love going and staying with Fiona and Marley. I am always kept updated with a text message and the occasional picture whilst I am away on holiday which takes away the stress of knowing that they are ok. I cannot recommend Fiona more highly- My dogs love her.”

“I'd recommend everyone to head down for a lovely walk and to have some cake and a beverage. Such lovely people who run the cafe who have showed such kindness to our friend Nigel who loves visiting. A definite recommend.”

“Nicest tapas I've had in years, each dish tasted delicious. Smoked paprika chicken was my favourite. Only thing I could say is it's a small space but wouldn't put me off going again.”

“The food surpassed our expectations and the staff were helpful and attentive. The seafood platter was the standout dish for us - definitely worth a visit. Lovely atmosphere too.”

“Having just moved to glossop, this was the first place I visited when my partner suggested to come here for our first date. It was so lovely, staff were super friendly and went above and beyond for us. Really lovely place and will hold a special place for me and my partner. I'm sure we will be returning! Cocktails were absoutley amazing also. 2 for 1 zombies is never a bad idea!”

“Morning breakfast was delightful and coffee was superb!!”

“Such a great vibe. All staff friendly and accommodating. The pizza is all handmade and fresh and cooked next to the bar. Its amazing how well coordinated they all are and quite fun to watch them work. Bar staff attentive and drinks are good quality and reasonably priced. Amazing pizza dough and great selection of toppings too.”

“Overwhelmingly positive experience. Got recommended a rare wine from Uruguay that was the best wine I’ve tried. The meat variety and quality is ridiculously good, the waiters keep coming to offer new cuts of meat with a span of minutes until you stop them, and trust me you will. I was there for 2 and a half hours and ate all I could, nobody rushed me and the service is 10/10. I would highly recommend this place either for a date, going out with friends or family. It’s great for any case. I’ll have to fast for a day after this, but worth it!”

“As ever with Hawksmoor, fabulous steak. This experience was really great to us thanks to Benedicts amazing service. Knowledgeable about anything on the menu and a pleasure to be served by. Always order the sticky toffee pudding. Trust me.”

“This is what a pub should be. Great Ale served at the table, great conversation where everyone joins in, no muzak, no telly, no slots, no lager louts And its now changed, there inverted mushrooms on the ceiling to dampen the non existing sound that reaches the ears of the idiot upstairs.”

“Visited Moda twice this week. On both occasions we we're welcomed with a smile from the friendly staff. It's a modern stylish and spotlessly clean restaurant with exceptional levels of service and food quality. If you're having breakfast go hungry as portions are very generous.”

“We tried here last night for the first time and we were tempted to go again tonight, it was so so nice! From walking in, the staff were lovely, especially the young lady serving us (I've forgotten her name sadly) The food was delicious and the outdoor seating was fab, with a little heater too it was perfect and we can't wait to go again”

“Never been here before and this place did not disappoint. Amazing food and atmosphere. Definitely would go back.”

“Tasty, appealing food. Good service and yummy mocktails. We tried a lot of dishes and I can say that this is definitely a higher end Indian, not drowned in sauces, these dishes were well balanced, full of flavour and spiced well. Sauces coat like a marinade should. I highly recommend the fish and prawn dishes. The sizzling main was impressive and tasted fabulous and fresh See photos”

“Great place! It's small so I'd recommend booking. Even on a cold wet tuesday night it was busy. Food is excellent. Didnt know Indian Scottish tapas existed before eating here. Nice and relaxed but attentive service. Theyve got that spot on. Alastair was really helpful with choices. Will definitely be back.”

“We really love this pub and pizza place. The beers are expertly kept and the staff are very friendly. We had a couple of pizzas when we were there last and they were exactly what we wanted and needed. Good atmosphere, great bee, tasty food. What more do you need?”

“I have been to many functions at this venue and always had a great night. Always made to feel welcome even when I have been there on my own. The staff are very friendly and also very accomodating when I have held events there. One such event was on the 14th August where it was a great night and the staff even helped decorate the room as well as cleared everything into a tidy area for us to collect the next day. I noticed a 1* review from a guest at the previous event.. The lady claims to have been Merry but not drunk yet was abusive and confontational to other guest including myself. Later at her hotel it took 8 police officers to escort her from her room after she constantly tried to attack on of her own party. If thats not drunk I'd hate to see how you behave when you are? The fact this lady 2 weeks later is still trying to cause trouble, speaks more about her than the venue she is trying to bad mouth.”
