“Good atmosphere, very pleasant staff and a good choice of beers.”

“Had a large party and organising with the staff was very very easy. Food was beautiful and very generous portions. A special shout out to Sophie I believe her name was (pink hair) who made sure we were all fed. Watered and looked after this evening. Thank you for a fabulous night. See you next month!!!”

“Gorgeous setting for a meal during the day after a walk but equally lovely in the evenings. Traditional English pub with a great history, tied in to the local mining museum. Open fires in the colder months making it such a cozy setting and lovely outdoor area for warmer months. My most recent visit was after a change of landlord/lady. The food really delicious with great service. I'm vegan and had a really fantastic choice of options. My omnivore friends were equally delighted with their meals. Dog and child friendly.”

“We had a fantastic meal at the Old Wellington, loved it! We booked a table on the day but they had plenty of space for dining. Our server, Tina, was fantastic, really attentive and cared that we had a great experience (she even double checked our beers were ok as we can some from the bottom of the barrel, replaced with no hesitation). The food (Ocean fish and chips, burger, fish platter and landlords platter) were all fantastic - really good value for a fantastic time. Highly recommend!”

“Great pub - genius idea - proper immaculate Victorian boozer (superb architecture) - as a student union bar. Tucked away amidst the increasingly impressive high rise MMU campus - it's a real oasis with decent ale and well priced grub (Inc selection of Pie Minister specials). Nice touch with a blue plaque inside commemorating Frank Side Bottom's last go. Well worth checking out.”

“We had a super evening at the Royal Oak, Spooky Disco Halloween party :) Staff put so much effort into making sure the kids and adults had a great night with party games, dancing, crafts and food. Thank you for getting our Halloween celebrations off to a wonderful start.”

“I say kasam, food was banging, anyone else who says otherwise is lying, recommended by a friend of mine and I was NOT let down, best kebab house in manny. Perfect flavour, perfect spice, very nice!”

“Best place in Manchester airport. We love the ancoats bar and were so happy to see 7 bros in the airport.The prices are not far off what you would pay in the actual pub; we were pleasantly surprised there wasn't a huge mark up because it's in the airport Get the Honeycomb ale, you won't regret it.”
