Cozy pub atmosphere in Hyde

“We absolutely love it here! are regulars at Mottram wood because as a family of 6 we find that it has everything we need for all of us. Great food, friendly staff, a good play area for the kids and an outside area. And then the food is decent pub grub at a very reasonable price. We find it to be the best play area / restaurant around Manchester. We came here for Christmas dinner which was great and so reasonably priced and today my son just had his 6th birthday party at the wacky warehouse. Alex and Jess in the play area are outstanding and can’t do enough for you and the kids adore them too.”

“I’ll start my review by saying that I’ve eaten at all the so called ‘best Indian Restaurants’ locally and to be fair there are a few good ones but often victims of their own success. However, in my opinion, Spice Bistro is up there amongst the best and from the meals I’ve eaten, it is by far the best Indian Restaurant around the Tameside and Glossop area. The meat they serve is so very tender, full of flavour and simply melts in your mouth and this is complimented by the curry sauces which have so much flavour they make you drool. The portion sizes are exceptional because they are thick and not full of oil or watery sauce and if you order a takeaway the foil container is full to the top. I can’t compliment the quality of the food enough…….it is that good. As a side note, the staff are incredibly polite, helpful and chatty but most important they are humble and respectful and this creates a happy vibe around the restaurant. If you have not eaten here before, believe me it will become your no. 1 go to restaurant for a curry. The cost of a curry from here is similar to a kebab from a takeaway and my only regret is that I haven’t eaten from here more often. The restaurant is not the biggest in the world but that’s a bonus as it allows the staff to look after their customers and give them an enjoyable experience. I cannot praise this restaurant highly enough!”

“The food is second to none, good-sized portions ,really very tasty. A huge menu to choose from and the staff are always polite and service with a smile. I'd highly recommend Chung's fish and chips to anyone, whether they are looking for freshly cooked traditional Chinese food or good old fish and chips.”

“I had to write this review straight away, as it was such a pleasure to visit a pub where we were met so warmly, the cask beer range produced in house is excellent ( Tried two & both very drinkable & very reasonably priced ) It was just a shame I had a train to catch otherwise I would have stayed! I will definitely be back & can only recommend! (Trains roughly every half hour from Manchester lovely small beer garden which is a sun trap!”

“Amazing pub. Great atmosphere, lovely friendly staff. The Landlord and Landlady can't do enough for their regulars and new patrons alike. Can't recommend enough!!!”

“What can i say. My new go to Italian restaurant. This place is fantastic. Excellent vaule food absolutely spot on and very nice.

“Excellent from start to finish, booked for an 18th family & friends afternoon gathering. Great atmosphere, service, drinks and food. Made everyone welcome and no ask too much. The day couldn’t have been better, thank you.”

“Amazing gem of a pub.All the staff are so friendly and work extremely hard.Will definitely be going back for another visit in the near future,maybe for a bit of karaoke ❤️❤️❤️”

“Saturday 17th May 2025 This pub in Hyde necmxt to the train station is not just a historical gem with a proper Clientelle, and the person behind was polite and helpful Good banter was had in the fantastic pub it was good fun.

“Me and hubby went in the Coach and Horses yesterday to try the famous Salt and Pepper chicken and wow!!! Not only was it absolutely out of this world but we had to box some up and take home. Looking forward to my lunch today! Great family pub and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend the food!”

“Went on a lovely walk with a friend, stop at this lovely pub and was greeted with a lovely lady called Kirsty. I'm not from the area but will be coming back especially to see Kirsty.

“Family run & extremely friendly pub, great atmosphere and they have a fantastic function room and cater for functions held there. Beer garden to the front for when the weather is good and they even have a pool room. Would recommend this pub all day long..”

“My recent dinner experience at The Rising Moon Restaurant Pub was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Everything, from the moment we walked in to the time we left, exceeded our expectations. The food was simply amazing. Every dish we ordered was prepared perfectly, delivered piping hot, and tasted incredible. It’s clear the kitchen takes great pride in the quality of their ingredients and cooking. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was delightful. There was a lively, warm buzz amongst the other diners, creating a very welcoming and comfortable environment that made our evening truly enjoyable. What really made the night memorable was the exceptional service provided by the entire team. All the staff members we interacted with were incredibly nice, polite, and attentive. In particular, I must give a special mention to Adam, who was truly great. Adam was not only very friendly and professional, but he went above and beyond to make our visit special. When he learned it was my mother's birthday, he kindly and thoughtfully brought out a slice of cake for her. This gesture of genuine care and attention made her day and demonstrated a level of service that is rarely seen. The combination of great food, wonderful atmosphere, and exemplary service ensures that we will definitely be returning to The Rising Moon Pub again very soon. We had a lovely evening, and I highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a superb dining experience. Thank you to the entire team, and especially to Adam, for making our evening so memorable!”

“What a turn around these 2 have made,a warm welcome ,friendly staff great atmospher a good pint at a very resonable price we had a fantastic night last friday keep the good work up,”

“Good pub but no music better if there was music and entertainment. New houses facing try and get younger and new people in the pub. Always been a good pub gone in for many years needs bringing in to the 21st century. Still plenty of characters go in the pub but it is an older type of persons pub so could or needs more to attract new people in. Just needs to attract more people. Pub is old school like a proper pub should be.”

“Great pub, great food. Been here a few times to dine all of which were great, most recently yesterday. Staff are friendly and helpful and always accommodating. The pub area is dog friendly with a log fire warming the pub, the restaurant is in the conservatory. Not been in the beer garden but it looks very spacious. The food is slightly more expensive than other pubs however the quality of food, venue and service justify this fairly.”

“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”

“Stopped into this pub on the way home from a weekend wedding to break up our journey. The chef and host could not do anymore for us. The food (mikes kitchen) was delicious I had a chicken roast and my husband had a homemade pie. Our daughter is a fussy eater they accommodated her perfectly. Staff were very friendly and easy to talk to, as we left they were setting up for karaoke, wish we weren't leaving.”

“Absolutely fantastic food. Friendly staff and a great customer service effort. Will absolutely be returning. I recommend the Big Mac Box.”

“Nice pub. Lovely and clean. Great atmosphere. Very clean.”

“Belting boozer, great beer, top atmosphere and the landlady is a star. Ideal for a game of pool or darts. Very welcoming pub.”

“Hosted a games night for our running club in the free function room upstairs. Such a beautiful room with original features. We only had chip butties but they were really good, we even got some salad & cakes thrown in and the napkins were super cute! Lisa was super helpful when trying to organise. Would definitely recommend this place and will definitely be visiting again! Thanks for a great night!”

“Never been here before but there was a band playing that we wanted to see. Great that some pubs are still willing to have live music. Really busy but the staff were excellent so no problem getting served. Although there was a choice of bitters it's a shame that there was no cask ale. A good looking pub and a friendly atmosphere and the band were brilliant so a really enjoyable Saturday night.”
