It's the last time I will visit this place.

It’s the very first time I wanted to leave a review to a restaurant. I thought I must share my experience with people who’re thinking about visiting this restaurant. Totally unhappy experience in terms of food and service we received. Long waiting time for the food (an hour) and none of us enjoyed the food nor their service.

Conned on afternoon tea.

Booked the afternoon tea for myself and friend for their birthday. On the website it says the price is £30. We enjoyed the food and service itself, but when it came to pay, our bill was £60. I questioned why it was double and the waitress said it was pp for the AT. On the website and menu there is nowhere it states its per person. No * used or small print, and was not explained when booked/on arrival and being seated.

Family birthday

The staff were very helpful on arrival by holding the door open as some of our party had mobility issues. Very welcoming. Busy pub but staff very efficient without rushing guests to choose food or drink. Excellent food. Good sized portions. Had salmon and prawn cocktail. Duck chorizo salad and goats cheese parcel. Mains were beef and mushrooms pot pie and thai salmon salad. Very tasty.

Not good

Novelty of the new landlord/landlady has worn off walked in on a Saturday night whilst they had an act on and sadly only a handful of people at the bar, looks like they have obviously upset a few people as the last night we went in you couldn't move, it would be such a shame o see a decent pub go under... thwaites need to seriously have a look at who they are employing to run their pubs

Worst service I’ve ever experienced

I’m surprised there are not more terrible reviews given that half the tables there left before dessert and many were asking for refunds. At £65 a head you’d expect good food and good service, the food was good, but the service was so disorganised. Some people didn’t even have tables when they arrived. Each course took around an hour or more to be served and cleared. A four course meal took 4 and a quarter hours. People were starving and complaining.

Very disappointing to say the least

I was looking forward to returning for a Sunday lunch of the highest quality but what I was served fell considerably short. For starters the wife and I shared mussels. I often order mussels as I'm very partial to one from time to time. These were the worst I've ever had the misfortune to eat. Must of been frozen v strange taste. Really really poor. For main I had the lamb rump. At £26 this was quite possibly the most overpriced meal over ever eaten. 3 small tiny fatty pieces of lamb.

Not a good experience

We ordered two meals. Scampi and chips and Hunters chicken with chips. After 20 minutes we were told they had no Scampi and was offered Fish goujons but in batter not breadcrumbs. Why tell us after 20 minutes ? And not after we had ordered. Surely the chef should know what he has in . Another 25 minutes of waiting, the food arrived . Only to have some Scampi on it and some fish goujons. Over cooked. Fries not chips. The Hunters chicken had way too much cheese on top.

Never ever have a meal here!

We ordered prawn and smoked salmon cocktail, which at £18:95 seemed a little expensive. What it comprised of was a small piece of smoked salmon and about 8 baby shrimps. ( Prawns they were not and even calling them shrimps would be a stretch.) All on a bed of lettuce. The chips that came with the main course were half cooked, tasteless and difficult to swallow. The linguine had almost the equivalent of two sliced chilli peppers hidden it which completely took away the delicate flavour of the crab

It’s not a cheap hotel but it felt like it.

We arrived into a dark, stuffy room with view from the window of the main busy road. The aircon was very poor, but opening the window to the sound of cars and Manchesters flight path of continuous planes wasn’t an option. I thought I would grab an extra pillow from the wardrobe - but to was stained and mouldy. I didn’t use the shower or bath - I honestly felt really quite uncomfortable and in the morning following breakfast I couldn’t wait to come home.

Extremely disappointing overall

From the time we made a reservation until we checked in, we were inundated with emails urging us to book a table in the restaurant. These marketing emails were sent via the booking site and there was no option to stop them. At check in, we were told that we could not have breakfast unless we made a reservation. Thankfully, we never did. When we saw the menu we understood the reason for the aggressive marketing tactics - the prices in the restaurant were extremely high.

A wonderful experience

My husband and I have just had a wonderful meal at this gastro pub. We chose the roast beef & Yorkshire pudding with vegetables. For dessert I had sticky toffee pudding with ice cream whilst my husband had rum & rain ice cream with a rum to pour over the top. Everything was freshly made (no frozen stuff) It was the best meal we have ever had in ages. We highly recommend paying the pub a visit but book a table first. Very friendly welcoming staff.
