Craft beer festivals in uk in Manchester

“Great ethos, great atmosphere, great beer, great people, and you can't help meeting them.”

“Decent beer. Cracking 3Swords despite being the first one off. The staff and customers are cool. Friendly environment.”

“I always make an effort to visit here, it’s my favourite pub and well worth the 45 minute train journey! Nice staff and they always have decent beers on tap which are always changing and have a lot of bottles to choose from as well. There are board games and snacks too for those who fancy that.”

“Very friendly and helpful staff. We were running late for our booking and they helped delay it for when we arrived. The food was delicious and a place to definitely go to again.”

“I visited The Oxnoble on a Sunday with a friend who had been before for their Sunday roast. She mentioned the concept had changed a bit, but regardless, the Sunday roast was absolutely delicious! Our waiter, Sean, was super friendly and made the experience even better (he recommended the cauliflower chees and OMG soo good). I would definitely recommend The Oxnoble to anyone visiting Manchester for the weekend!”

“Great location to go out with family and friends. There are lots of activities where you can enjoy the evenings or the weekend.”

“Amazing experience! Great decor, sand between your toes, comfy seats, great drink selection at bar, lively actors getting everyone up dancing at the end, the best cinema I’ve ever been too! So much fun!”

“Fantastic little cafe, had the builders breakfast, and for £7 you couldn't fault it. The service was great and the staff were friendly. 5 stars all thd way.”

“An absolute drinkers paradise with friendly, efficient service. It’s only Monday and we have 11 of the 12 cask ales pouring plus additional craft keg lines. A truly fantastic pub to visit and lament that there’s not more like it.”

“A great little bar with a good selection of changing beers on draught and an extensive selection of bottled beers which you can also drink in the bar with a small additional charge. There is some outside seating too. Well worth a visit if you are in Prestwich.”

“The service from jess at the front of the house and james in the kitchen was excellent. The beers were refreshing, and the food was exceptional. My steak was one of the best I've tasted, the highlight of my visit. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting.”

“verry friendly and helpful staff.”

“We stumbled upon this charming Belgian-style bar while out for a few drinks in Altrincham with my wife—and what a fantastic find! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a traditional Belgian vibe that adds real character. The drinks were excellent, and although we didn’t try the food (we’d already eaten), it looked delicious and well-presented. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!”

“Hi Maggie I've heard your closing down that's such a shame as it's such a great pub. I was told its being turned into flats we don't need any more HMO's”

“We ate here on Saturday 11.10.25. A big family group of 11. Age range 14 months -65 . Every one of us had great food, some carvery eaters, others chose from the menu. The staff were amazing (Trish as always), efficient and hugely accommodating. Even though it was quite busy, nothing was too much trouble. I personally recommend the carvery. It is amazing and the chef had added a shepherd's pie as a meat option, together with beef, Turkey, Chinese pork and roast pork. So glad I chose to have some. Delicious! Our go-to eatery, especially when family come to visit. Thank you and very well done all of you.”

“Really lovely place with great food! My husband order a burger and I ordered a burrito. Enjoyed the food and the price was reasonable. If there's an improvement maybe it would be nice to have a spiced rice instead of plain rice for the burrito as it watered down the taste but overall, we enjoyed the food. Husband said it was probably the best burger that he had in Manchester! The fries that we had was amazing too! We'd love to be back and try the other stuff in their menu.”

“Had breakfast and then got a selection of cakes (amongst a group of friends). Would really recovered the veggie breakfast! The homemade sausage was delicious and the guacamole was really tasty. The cakes were delicious, especially the bunny chocolate mouse cake. Great service and lovely chilled atmosphere. We’ll be back!”

“Lovely little village pub, cheap alcohol, lovely people...”

“Mark, Claire and the team are so very welcoming. Such a great bunch of people on both sides of the bar. The venue is cool and quirky. Interesting features such as the wagon wheel. Also loved looking at the art. There's live music, and sometimes food!! One of my favourite places to spend time in tameside!”

“Great place to enjoy a quality beer close to the market. Interesting cask/keg/cider selection: they even had barley wine when I was there. There could well be a bottle shop upstairs full of Belgian rarities. Went today, it's still fabbo”

“Absolutely brilliant night, first class entertainment and landlady so welcoming and helpfull everyone extremely thoughtfull and one very kind gentleman bought my wife and I a drink even though we had only just met. Lovely down to earth people can't wait to go again.”

“Really enjoyed this pub, barman was friendly and welcoming and the drink prices were reasonable. Will definitely be back at some point.”

“I pass this pub on a daily basis but have never visited until today. The place is lovely. A very old building with a nice atmosphere. The staff were helpful and friendly and the food was amazing. I would definitely recommend this place. Food is very reasonably priced.”

“Great atmosphere, where history is tangible. Pub is worth a visit and the food,particularly the carvery, is delicious. Try the raspberry and strawberry sundae. Best ever. Great entertainment laid on some evenings. Excellent venue for birthday parties.”

“Is totally great pub with totally nice people and a great landlord if you are ever in Ashton pop into the halfway house and enjoy yourselves”

“We had a lovely Sunday roast here. Really reasonable prices. Staff were v friendly, Portion size was perfect. Will definitely be coming back here :)”

“Popped in here for the first time since moving back to the area 5yrs ago. The place looks great, the staff are very friendly and Kyle and the bar and kitchen staff were extremely helpful when we ordered food. Just wanted a snack that would fill us up and that’s what we got. Nice vibe with a mixture of colourful locals.”

“Had our Christmas do here on Friday. Staff were SO lovely and efficient, food was phenomenal. The vegan mushroom pie was excellent, plenty of extra gravy provided. Really nice night thank you.”

“What a lovely evening I have just had for my daughter’s 11th birthday family meal. I booked a table online and requested a table near the window which we got and then as a surprise at the end of the meal the chef brought out a cake and the staff sang happy birthday to my daughter which I wasn’t expecting. All the staff were superb. I’m afraid I didn’t catch their names but a blond lady and a tall lad with longer hair looked after us and a female chef. They all deserve massive praise. Constantly checking we were all ok and dealing with my sisters gluten free dietary requirements (she was impressed and happy that you kept everything separate and even more happy she got a carvery with gluten free Yorkshires and gravy!). The food was as expected- pub grub, great quantity and taste. We all left full of happiness and full bellies and that’s all we want from a family outing! So thankyou”
