Some diners report inconsistencies in service during peak times, particularly on busy Sundays when the restaurant is at full capacity. Customers have voiced concerns about feeling rushed during their meals, especially during family celebrations, which impacts the relaxed dining experience many seek. A few reviews mention issues with order accuracy on the bill, leading to disappointment among patrons. While the majority of experiences are positive, these sporadic issues could deter visitors hoping for a laid-back evening out.

My wife and I had just visited Stanedge Tunnel and popped in for a quick lunch. Well were not disappointed. My wife orded a hot Beef sandwich with a portion of chips and I orded a Falafel Salad, again with a portion of chip. To be honest, I did not need the extra chip, the salad was big enough. Both dishes were good size and fresh. The salad was not just iceberg lettus and toms. The service was good and friendly. Would I recommend and return, Definitely on both counts.

Definitely one of my favourites! We go here often. Food is bang on each and everytime. Great service all round a gorgeous pub! Highly recommended...ive edited this as we had a terrible experience on Sunday whilst celebrating our anniversary. We wanted a few drinks before eating. We was rushed to order and it was literally 1 minute between courses as we like to rest and let the food settle. Didn't even get offered the dessert menu as others sat ne t to us did! The manager Chris and Barry was rude to us, pulled her face after asking for another drink whilst being rushed to eat as they wanted the table for someone else. She spoke to the waitresses in a very unprofessional way infront of the customers. We felt very uncomfortable and it has impacted our views of this place which is unfortunate as i regularly choose to go here with family and friends, and i have always recommended it. Finally the bill came and the items was incorrect to what was ordered. When we are paying customers we expect to be treated in a friendly manner with respect and to be left to enjoy our time, drinks and food without feeling I was being pushed out the door!! Not acceptable not professional and very disappointed in chris and Barry for their cold bad attitudes towards us. Im also informing the brewery J.W.LEES.

Fabulous pub! If you're travelling past Manchester, stop here. The interior is also beautifully decorated!! But the food was amazing. The chicken & Leek pie is lovely with the gravy & my husband loved his huge piece of fish wish homemade tartar sauce. The waitress was so lovely & attentive also. Great place!

Love this place, always book when we are up visiting family and never fails. Always greeted by friendly help staff. It's not and extensive menu but has something for everyone. Service and food are always outstanding and great value too. Pub it's self is beautiful and old charm and this is carried through inside with the decor.
