Community pub in Manchester

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

“The Smoker looks great after the recent renovation, but still retains its quaint, welcoming old coach House feel. The menu was superb. We each had something from the specials board, mine was chicken with potato cakes, topped with a mustard sauce. The food was excellent value, well presented and was really tasty. The staff were very accommodating and friendly, great beer selection. I'd recommend the smoker to anyone wanting a meal out with friends or family.”

“What a lovely place. Sunday Lunch was fantastic. Freshly cooked and plentiful. The beef was cooked to perfection! Staff polite, professional and friendly. The bill was as expected which I considered reasonable for what we had. Will definitely return.”

“Last minute booking to stay the night. I wanted good pub food, comfortable bedroom and great service whilst being able to watch the football. This is what I got. Jordan behind the bar offered great service, Emma and Beth served me my food and Keira checked me into the hotel and constantly was checking i was happy and asking if she could help. Excellent service throughout. Greene King have a great team here.”

“Nice food - great team working hard.”

“Not bad at all much better inside than the outside makes it look . Food is ok , not badly priced . Staff are good . Clean and tidy good atmosphere . About £13 on average for a plate of food and a drink . Pool table available and you can order from the app. Straight to the table . Really good staff who come over and check all is good and say hello and goodbye as you enter and leave . Nice pub . Nice staff well worth a visit”

“Came here for the first time last week the food is excellent and they serve a great pint too”

“Good value for money food, a decent selection of real ales if that is what you like (a taster offered to my partner so it was easier to choose). Always a friendly welcome from the landlady and bar staff alike. Great quiz on a Sunday night with free sandwiches and beer tokens as prizes. Ps the aforementioned "landlord " is no longer there.”

“Good clean pub, good company. Landlady and Landlord do a great job.”

“The best landlord in all of the realm❤️ muchas love to this pub”

“Great local great pint and good prices traditional local went twice this week as staying in Oldham for work”

“Lively friendly atmosphere. The food was lovely and piping hot. *Edit The pub has changed to Thai food now and after eating there I can highly recommend it. Great food”

“Very friendly and quite reasonable prices..lovely atmosphere and friday nights are a must ..best DJ in North west & karaoke you dont have to be an x factor constant to get up an have a go.... just be yourself an have a laugh”

“Nice cosy pub. Great selection of various cask & lagers sprits. Polite friendly staff. Band that was on was too loud although but other than that great atmosphere”

“Great local pub with friendly staff and good prices on beer. Just beware of ordering spirits as they can end up being very expensive for a double. Sunday dinner is really cheap and cheerful at less than 7 quid for a HUGE plate of food that even a fat guy like me can never finish. Saturday night atmosphere is great with karaoke.”

“Fantastic pub. Very welcoming, and a great group of friendly regulars (often accompanied by equally friendly dogs) without feeling exclusionary. My new local since relocating and couldn't hope for a better one. Check out Saturday night karaoke!”

“It's a good pub just near me so I don't have to go far to go home”

“Really nice customer service from Tyler and Rachel really good people!”

“Took a trip to The Windmill recently and had a great experience. The food was tasty and came out quickly, and my other family members loved the carvery. What really caught my attention is how nice the staff is I was served by Dsean. He served our food with a smile, cleared our plates, and kept checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. His kind and great service is what really made the trip worth it. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back!”

“Went with my friend to see the fabulous singer that was on called Karen James. Great drink prices friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Large car park and they have different acts and nights on that are really great. Well worth a visit.”

“Only went for a couple of hours to my local Slimming World group which used the vault as a temporary place to hold it. But, I was so impressed by the decor and the cleanliness of the place that I would definitely go in again in a social capacity. It's spotless.”

“Fantastic pub you can get peace and quiet you can find a good atmosphere when busy. The locals are very friendly and the bar staff are lovely. I really like this pub”

“I can't say about the food I didn't eat there. The atmosphere was amazing , it was Saturday night , there was a karaoke on and lots of fab singers. Beer was great would definitely go back”

“A very good pub famous with lots of students and friendly staff would recommend a visit”

“They have really nice staff member, bit I do want to know why im banned from there till October 12th wich is when im 18 even though I came in with my dad so he got me the drinks , overall they are really good though”

“Came on a Monday, and there was a buy one free one offer on Mondays! So it was super worth it for us. The portion was large and the taste was good. The staff were approachable and friendly and even asked us whether the food was alright afterwards! Overall a great experience for you to bring family and friends over!”

“Went in at lunch time with visiting friends and all had the fish and chips. All three portions were well cooked and a decent size. The mushy peas were a good consistency and the batter on the fish was crisp. Chips were also well cooked. There was about a ten minute wait for the food which was good. There is a good range of beers in the bar and an excellent pint of Guinness. My guest commented the john Smith's was a little too cold. The Tartare sauce was tasty but I prefer it to be a little bit creamier personally. The premises were clean and tidy and are dog friendly and the bar staff were polite and cheerful. All in all a very good experience and I would eat here again. Revisit 10/12/24 Fish and chips and Guinness as good as my original visit. Keeps the five stars.”

“This is one of the best pubs in the area. I have been going here on and off since way before it was renovated last time and Julie and her team work hard to make this a fun and welcoming place to go. There is no food but the cost of a pint is reasonable, has live music every weekend, has a small enclosed outdoor area and you are not constantly looking over your shoulder. How often do you hear the words “We have had to shut the front door as we are full” in pubs any more! Keep up the good work Julie.”

“We ordered the pepperoni pizza and chips, and everything was delicious — perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and served fresh. After that, we enjoyed a lovely coffee while relaxing by the wooden chimney, which made the whole experience feel warm and cozy. Great food, great atmosphere — highly recommended!”

“Fantastic atmosphere with Fantastic people, been many times and always great night”
