Bar pub in Wilmslow

“Gluten free menu attached as I couldn't find it online. Some good options, food came quickly and was hot. I wished there were chips on the gluten free menu but jacket potatoes were a nice change. Service was slightly slow but was rectified quickly. They have gluten free beer which is nice. It was very busy which was nice to see considering it's tucked away.”

“Brilliant pub, with a fantastic landlord, Tommy Grogan. The oldest pub landlord in the UK. Fantastic mural by local charity, Withington Walls, on side of the pub too.”

“Nice local pub with outside seating dog friendly!!”

“First visit after being recommended by a friend. Excellent food and friendly service. Very nice place.”

“Relaxed vibe and good music. The atmosphere is cosy, modern, and great for groups. Shisha flavours are varied and staff are friendly. Only downside was they asked for cash and would not take card payment!”

“Had our Christmas social lunch here for the 2nd year on the run and as last year the service, food and atmosphere was first class!”

“Great experience overall! Very friendly service and great ambience. The food is also good. I'm not a huge fan of chain restaurants, but I have to admit that Gusto exceeded my expectations; food was actually quite decent. We went for lunch on a Saturday, 3 people. We sat on the outdoor area, which is very cute and spacious - ideal for those with baby prams like us!. We tried pasta carbonara, roasted vegetables salad, and the burger. We also had some starters. Everything was tasty and very well presented.”

“We are Americans visiting Manchester for the holidays. The Didsbury Pub was recommended to us for dinner. We had dinner at The Didsbury Pub on Christmas Eve, and it was fantastic! Steven, our server, looked after us; he did a fantastic job. The Didsbury Pub had a Festive Menu on Christmas Eve and our compliments to the Chef. The food was delicious. The hand carved roast turkey with Yorkshire pudding was awesome. So was the Marmalade Glazed Ham Hock. And the desserts. The apple & blackberry crumble was scrumptious; as was the melting chocolate fondant. The pub is beautiful. The atmosphere was great. One of the best dining experiences in all our travels. Thank you to Steven, the Chef, and all the great people at The Didsbury Pub. I highly recommend everyone visiting Manchester to stop in and enjoy The Didsbury Pub.”

“Beautiful hotel. All lit up it looks amazing. Great location. We had a big comfortable room with a bath. Friendly, helpful staff.”

“A very nice pub,not too far away from Manchester Airport. Atmosphere was very good, food equally good and reasonably priced. Service was a bit slow,but it was very busy. When our meals did arrive it was well worth the wait. Your four legged friends are also welcome. I would definitely go again.”

“Delicious food and really catered for my dietary restrictions. Great extensive gluten free menu. Would highly recommend, will be back. The women behind the bar are great and really friendly! Lovely cosy spot.”

“Great place great food, nice staff.”

“Exceptional Service – A Standout Experience with Vicki! I have stayed in many hotels over the years, encountering a wide range of service experiences, but I can confidently say that Vicki at the Merlin Innkeepers is in the top tier of hospitality professionals. From the moment we arrived, she was polite, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Her accommodating nature and willingness to go above and beyond made our stay truly enjoyable. What stood out the most was how effortlessly she balanced professionalism with warmth, making us feel valued and well taken care of. No request was too much trouble, and her attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our stay was smooth and comfortable. Because of Vicki, I will wholeheartedly recommend staying at the Merlin Innkeepers. Excellent service makes all the difference, and she exemplifies what true hospitality should be. Thank you, Vicki, for making our visit so memorable—we will certainly be back!”

“Unbelievable Pizza experience... the crazy thing is the size doesn't compromise the quality! Will definitely be heading back.”

“Had to stay here after flight was cancelled Lee the landlord was great very helpful. Food was really good and so was the beer . I'd definitely come again if I was in this neck of the woods .Thanks Lee”

“Three of us had Christmas Day lunch here. We were very, very pleased with the meal, drinks and first class service from all the staff. It is a joy to visit this pub any day. Always made to feel welcome. Thanks to all. See you again soon.”

“My son and I were visiting Fletcher Moss for the first time, and didn't know where to go for food and drinks! Anyway, we decided to go Ye old cock! Well, it turned out to be the perfect choice. Beautiful clean pub with character. Great menu choices. Also, fantastic price deals..a meal and a premium drink each (we chose a Guinness, and a 250ml glass of wine) all for £10!! Great service too. I will definitely go again.”

“Fresh pizzas, lovely food. The young lad who served us our food was SO positive and full of energy, not sure of his name...but he was really nice and made us smile :) Would recommend this pub to locals/others. Great value for money.”

“Prices a little pricey but for location probably about right went in last night 27/10 to see a friend who's band was playing and have to say what an atmosphere and great crowd. From staff to everyone in there they were all great and lovely people. Chatted to loads of strangers old and young alike all super nice I'll be back to see my friend play again”

“Son lost his wallet here with all his Christmas money in. We didn’t have much hope it would be found but I reported it lost to the lovely Shanese. I left my details and within minutes she called to say she found it! She even ran outside to pass it on to my son. Shanese went above and beyond. We are so grateful for her. Happy new year!!!”

“Went for Saturday breakfast, the value for money is incredible. 3 breakfasts including unlimited coffee only a tad over £18. However eggs Benedict were cold on arrival. But my traditional breakfast was spot on as was the freedom Breakfast. Was a hot day and I am assuming the air con broke down because my god it was warm in there. But the Erdinger was nice and cold. Some other interesting canned craft beers were consumed. I think the glass washer needs a service. And much amusement had watching the police attempt to apprehend a man with one foot in a cast. Ordering on the app is supposed to alleviate pressure on the bar and make it convenient and speedy for us as a customer,however one round took 10 minutes to arrive. Minor gripe. I love Spoons. We wiled away a few hours and will definitely be back.”

“Great breakfast. Served hot and presented well. Would advise not to have fruit machines on until later in the day, the noise coming from them was too loud and think it altered a Sunday morning atmosphere”

“Visited The Symposium for the first time once I knew it was under new management and had such a great night! Quick service, great selection of drinks and champagne, and music everyone can dance to. Perfect atmosphere for a late night venue.”

“Had a lovely visit to the wacky warehouse yesterday with my two grandchildren. With a spot of lunch afterwards. Children had a brilliant time playing and the food was delicious especially the beef and Yorkshire puds. Staff was helpful too”
