British classics in Salford

“Absolutely fabulous food, really friendly staff with excellent service. The Lamb Zeera was particularly nice.”

“I will start by saying that this is a Premier Inn, so you know what you are getting from the very beginning, which is why I try to book PI when I go away as I know I will have a decent sleep in a comfy bed and an excellent breakfast the next morning. This Premier Inn was very easy to find, it was a very short walk from Media City tram stop, which was itself a very smooth journey from Manchester Piccadilly station. On this occasion, we had paid a little extra for a Premier Plus room, it was only £10 more than the standard room at the time of booking and it was more than worth it. Check in was nice and easy and the staff member was incredibly helpful, showing us how to activate a second key card for the room. Navigating to our room was also a very simple process (you have to use your key card to get through to the lifts and then again to use the lift, which is excellent security). The Premier Plus room was beautiful and exceeded our expectations, it was roomy, well decorated and had a fridge, iron and ironing board, Nespresso machine and a glorious rainfall shower. The room was spotlessly clean with no faults. We were very excited to see that we had a view that peeked a little onto "The Cobbles" (Coronation Street) as this was the reason for our visit. There is a Co-op a very short walk around the corner from the hotel, which proved very useful and is excellent placement. As always in a Premier Inn, we enjoyed an excellent nights sleep. We also booked breakfast for the next morning to set us up for our day out (I always recommend booking a PI breakfast). We were very impressed with the options available at breakfast, which has something for everyone and suits all dietary requirements. The very lovely, friendly and warm Lizzie ensured we were given the allergen menu (one of us is coeliac) and quickly ordered a plate of "vegan bacon" for us on request. The restaurant was smaller than the one at the last Premier Inn we were in, but we actually preferred this as it felt more intimate but didn't impact on the choice available, which was great! Unfortunately, the coffee machine was broken at breakfast, but there was still instant coffee and tea bags available to make a hot drink and this absolutely does not impact my review at all, as this is something that cannot be helped and we had a Nespresso machine in our room for a proper coffee anyway! Checkout was swift and straightforward, again, as we would expect from Premier Inn. We will definitely be returning when we visit Manchester again and really hope that we see Lizzie next time, as she was outstanding!”

“Marble Brewery are one of the best brewers around in my view. Their new tap has hit the ground running. On my visit, there was Pint on cask, in addition to 9 varied keg offerings and a full fridge. Great use of the space given its purpose and a place I'll return to.”

“Love this pub inside and out. It’s got so much history and charm. The building used to be the Manchester & Salford Children’s Mission back in Victorian times, where they ran a kitchen for kids and the homeless. Now it’s this brilliant underground pub, and you can still see the old glazed brick walls when you head downstairs, which just adds to the atmosphere. I’d love to see more of that story told inside. There are a few old photos up, but no info with them... a bit of context would make it even better. Doesn’t put me off going though, it’s still one of my favourite spots in Manchester.”

“Very friendly chap, delicious food as well, life saver after overtime work.”

“Fantastic service and food. We had a birthday dinner for two and they made the birthday girl feel special. Ambiance was modern and luxurious. We had starters of arancini and croquettes that were delicious. Mains we opted for steaks that were perfect with a cherry & almond dessert. All of this was absolutely divine. This place will take care of you and highly recommend”

“Amazing atmosphere and great Customer service, food is well presented and great value for money, the range of food is comprehensive. They also do too good to go bags and you get a great deal at less than £4!!! Can't wait to go again”

“Called in yesterday for some food — it was busy but we managed to get a table. The food was incredible; you don’t find proper pub grub like that very often anymore. The staff were friendly and welcoming too. We’ll definitely be back.”

“One of the best pubs in Manchester! Has a wide variety of beers and ciders to choose from, the staff are incredibly friendly, the interior is very cosy and beautiful and it also has a cute little beer garden for the sunny days as well as an upstairs floor is usually hosting some kind of event! We had an amazing time and will definitely be coming back! 10/10”

“Have been here a few times now since it opened and I can honestly say that it is much improved since it's shaky start. Excellent food, lovely staff and reasonably priced for we what you receive. One of the best Japanese restaurants I have had the pleasure to patronise.”

“Brilliant family pub .. a rugby and football pub nice and friendly bar staff Dj On fri and sat and bank holiday sundays piol table to back area to sit in and also tables n chairs at front of pub”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Warm Welcome from Elaine and the Black Dog Pub Team Elaine, the landlady of the Black Dog Pub in Belmont Village, deserves the highest praise. From the moment we arrived as new residents, she and her wonderful staff welcomed us with immense warmth and genuine hospitality. The atmosphere they’ve created at the Black Dog is friendly, inviting, and full of community spirit — exactly what every village pub should be. It’s quickly become our favourite local spot and a big part of why Belmont already feels like home. Thank you, Elaine, for making us feel so welcome!”

“Visited for Sunday lunch for my partner's birthday. The food was delicious - we both had the belly pork for a main course. The service was really excellent, the staff were so friendly and genuinely nice, all the people who served us including Kameelah, Nsingi, Arron, Fatih, Rahela & Gerda - thanks to all of you for making us feel so welcome.”

“It’s just a really good cheap pub, no thrills but it’s a good size, got a great outside area (not done up but comfy enough to sit in the sun) really good for casual day drinking without breaking the bank.”

“Great traditional pub. Great entertainment on Friday nights for music & karaoke. The managers are great as are the staff. Great atmosphere and lovely group of regulars. Through the day, there is a beer garden at the back which is a sun trap and great for a relaxing pint after work.”

“Really friendly and helpful staff, good veggie breakfast and great value for money. Left feeling nice and full ready to start my day! I’ll definitely be going back!”

“I had breakfast here, and it’s interesting to have such deluxe breakfast in the U.K. I love the egg bar, and the chef who cooked the omelette for me was wonderful and lovely. The overall vibe therein was marvellous.”

“Great chippy pie or mixed meat dinners are mega nice and less than £6 kim nice to chat to gravy nice defo one to try out best chippy in Salford nothing over £7 in price and all dot on nice meals with plenty to eat care in the cooking”

“Good service and variety of food prices are good as well, we tried the sushi and the crispy pork belly which were very tasty, even in a match day the service was pretty fast which honestly was unexpected in a very good way. The burger was really tasty the right size”

“Had a great experience here tonight. We were looked after by Jade and Eve and they were both so helpful. I have a gluten allergy (celiac) and they were really helpful and reassuring. Very on it with allergy’s and cross contamination. Overall great experience”

“I was in there in the afternoon bar staff are friendly it's a nice pub the only one left in lower Broughton”

“An enormo Spoons with 3 bars over 2 floors. The first bar you come to has the best choice of cask ales if you are not ordering on the app.”

“Hatty’s Café is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is incredibly friendly, and every dish tastes homemade with love. Their coffee is always spot-on, and the pastries are some of the best I’ve had anywhere. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or just a quick coffee break, Hatty’s Café never disappoints. Highly recommended!”

“My absolute go to Chinese in the area. The portions are very well sized for the money and most dishes come with the rice or chips included. The food is always very hot and well presented. The fire chow mein and seaweed is our favourite! Definitely recommend as the best Chinese in the area, and we love supporting local.”

“Great restaurant with great service. The boss is nice and handsome, and will continue to visit next time.”

“A very pleasant coffee shop just outside Manchester Victoria railway station. Part of Hotel Indigo. Surprisingly large with a choice of comfortable rooms and seats. Cakes and breakfast butties available. Newspapers free to read. Taking Alic on a rare outing. Boothroyd chose him for this trip. There ia also a bar that I've never been to! Americano £3. Lovely staff.”

“Visited late tonight and was served a really good pepperoni pizza, only took a short time and the person who served me was extra polite and helpful ! Will be back”

“Came in for footie and tea. I had the mixed grill and my steak was perfect. Hubby had the Greek which he demolished. Fantastic all round xx”

“Was served quickly by a friendly little lass. Ordered chips with mushrooms, onions and curry sauce. Think it was only £4 something. The portion size was huge. So tasty, great value. Will definitely go there again when I'm next in salford.”
