“A varied menu to suit all tastes, from snacks through to full 3 course meals, all freshly cooked with superb ingredients. Can be very busy when they have business events on in the hotel, but choose the right time and it is easy getting served. Probably best to check first by ringing (and also ask for one of the window tables for the best views) Sit at one of the tables overlooking Piccadilly Gardens and enjoy wonderful food, and great views at the same time. The staff are very professional and extremely pleasant. Well worth a visit if you enjoy eating delicious food in a bright restaurant with excellent views.”

“I was staying locally due to work and just stopped in for one drink. Feel I have to give a little more context...... Setting the scene..... Flash back to a very autumnal day in Manchester.. Let's call our heroine Emma 30ish blonde and beautiful. Calls in after a hard day's toil at the dream factory. Was greeted by the kindly bar serving folk dispencing brew fit for kings and Queens. I was set to leave when the jester walked in saying music and dancing would follow. Lady Emma danced and sang the night away. Even though she was unguarded Emma never once felt she was alone and was welcomed so much by the amazing folk of the Top Derby I felt I had to post this fitting tribute. X”

“First time in, with the wife. Love it. Great choice of beer and spirits. Good atmosphere. Great pool table. Going tomorrow x”

“I absolutely love coming into the farmers, the atmosphere is always lovely! Tracey and her husband (landlord and lady) are really friendly, they take their time to get to know their customers on a personal level and are always amazing with our 2 year old son. The food is always delicious and reasonably priced. It’s very quickly become one of our favourite local pubs as we just find it a really homely place. I highly recommend people to visit this pub if you haven’t already.”

“Superb family pub, fantastic staff, great deals on drinks and great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend a visit. I will surly be back soon!”

“We stayed at this hotel as a night out delayed Valentine’s Day. The hotel is very tastefully decorated with comfortable surroundings. The room we stayed in was spacious with a nice bath tub and freestanding rainforest shower. The bed was extremely large and very comfortable however, my only gripe with the whole stay is that the pillows were quite thick and uncomfortable, we ended up getting cricked necks. When making the booking, I mentioned that it was our first night out in 6+ months since my mother in law fell ill and we were celebrating Valentine’s Day a few days later and the staff left us some chocolates, balloons and rose petals scattered around the room. It really made a nice touch to our stay!”

“Great pub, friendly staff, beer still at a reasonable price.”

“Went Friday evening with a few friends all I can say is we had a lovely time the food was absolutely gorgeous very good service we will definitely be going again great atmosphere even though the Elton John night couldn’t go ahead Trish the landlady did her best for entertainment and it turned into a karaoke night absolutely fantastic”

“A proper pub serving it's locals really well. Nice beer on the taps, sport on the telly, events in the evenings. And the place is literally spotless - there's a pub cat which initially put me off due to allergies but I never suffer there because the place is cleaned so well. Love it!”

“Popped in to have a quick look inside this beautiful building and found that they had a brilliant array of nice beers on tap including some Belgium and local one's including my favourite chocolate stout and at £1.50 a pint you can't go wrong. Staff are really friendly and attentive.”

“Really nice pub, great beers , and amazing bar staff, definitely keep going back”
