“Amazing night at the bonfire and fireworks. Well organised and the fireworks were excellent. Food served was tasty especially the Tata ash. One criticism and only a small one as this is a free event, maybe some portaloos next year to increase the capacity for the weak bladdered.”

“We have started to go now regularly on a Sunday lunchtime . The staff are a real credit to this pub always lovely to chat to them they are so friendly and polite . The food is excellent and it has a lovely atmosphere . It’s a hidden gem really.”

“Came here yesterday for 1 with family around 5pm and was served by the gentleman, I didn't get his name but he was kind and polite. It looked like it was just him on considering its a Saturday so I was pretty shocked about that. But nonetheless the service he provided was prompt and effective. Pool table available, plenty of TVs and areas to sit around the pub as well as outside. Nice little find”

“I have visited this pub for over 40 years and it has had its ups and downs. It is most certainly now on an UP. The Holts bitter is consistently good and the Landlord and all the staff are friendly and welcoming. Nothing not to like.”

“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”

“Called in while driving past. I have visited many times over the years and have not been disappointed with the food. Plenty of choice of meat and vegetables. They often have a choice of pie as well. I can't comment on the other menu just the carvery. I always enjoy the food when I visit and would recommend it to anyone wanting a carvery.”

“Great Atmosphere nice friendly people They have a quiz/bingo/play your cards right on Tuesday afternoon around 1pm. On a Tuesday they also put food on I.e. hotdogs or a curry or perhaps a chilli, you can never be sure which.”

“Best pub in Swinton by a country mile and by far the cheapest too. DJ on at the weekends and occasionally a live singer. No real ale (it would just not sell here) But plenty of other options. Great staff and good service.”

“So I'm giving this review because of the landlord and his wife. My son had a meltdown on the main road. I had to sit on the floor with him to keep him safe (he's non verbal and autistic. This is also rare too). Anyway they xould hear him at the pub and the landlord and his wife was concerned. She came out and kept us company. She also took the edge off too. I know we didn't go in for drinks but if the landlord and his wife are like this it tells me how welcoming their pub is. Thank you so much ♥️”

“Visited over Patrick’s weekend and really enjoyed liked the relaxed atmosphere. The place had plenty of screens showing the football, which was a nice. They also have Thief Street in the kitchen, the food was fantastic, great portion sizes and tasted delicious. The staff were friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall experience. Drinks are on the pricey side, with a pint of Guinness costing £6.70, but since we’re not big drinkers, we just had one drink each so it didn't affect us too much”

“Went for a couple of drinks a few weeks ago with a group of women. Good selection, plenty of space ... The barman was super friendly and helpful”

“We have just moved into the area and decided to take a chance on this place after a long day of unpacking. What a wonderful evening we had! We were greeted and served by Luize, Kate, and Sue who were all very warm, welcoming, and inviting. The food was gorgeous and exactly what we needed, and the atmosphere was great (I'm an 80s child and to hear lots of the music of the time was just the icing on the cake for me). Firmly think this will be one of our favourite places for the foreseeable future! Thank you guys for making a very hard day that much more bearable!”

“Always make space for us and are wonderful at finding a quiet table for us and our autistic daughter. Couldn’t praise the staff highly enough. Great food and drink and wonderful atmosphere. Natalie who served us tonight was brilliant, much appreciated.”

“Friendly barstaff. Customers are respectful and it feels safe to be drinking in there. Karaoke is fun. Jukebox and pool table”

“Great value for money. Friendly and helpful hosts. Highly recommended!”

“Phoenix nights on steroids. Karaoke on a Friday and Saturday, all things to all men and ladies. Rich and poor old and young are all here getting stuck in. Cheap booze too, what's not to like.”

“The staff were brilliant, couldn't fault them at all especially the young lady that looked after us but they were all great, very friendly and attentive. The food was really nice, cooked to perfection, served in good time, hot and with a smile. If we are ever in the area again we would definitely pay another visit.”

“As a solo diner I generally visit The Lodge once a week. The staff are always welcoming and friendly especially Lisa who always goes above and beyond to ensure that my visit is a pleasant and enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend The Lodge to anyone. All the team and the food are second to none. I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to my weekly visits. Thank you once again to Lisa x”

“Fantastic place with a really warm welcome. Great choice of food, which very good, and also a range of beers on draught, including some pretty decent real ales. I'm never get too annoyed if the train at Hartford is cancelled, well at least as long as the Coachman is open!”

“Friendly staff decent prices to, just near Ashton market.”

“My first visit as I was going football was impressed with friendlyness of the people in pub see as I never been here before, brilliant sporty pub with football on tv the beer was good.”

“Been coming in the George for few weeks now after not being here for couple of years. Food menu has changed and is really good. Two meals for £12 on certain days. Can not complain one bit. Bar staff actually have a smile on their faces and make you feel welcome. Quiz nights music pool table live football all a bonus. Dog friendly”

“I like coming here for a quick pint.”

“Cool atmosphere to have a drink. Staff are friendly, bathroom is clean. You can smoke outside without shame.”

“Wow, what a great local pub, exceptional service, very sensible prices and we were made to feel old friends despite this being our first visit. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.”
