Local pub in Hyde

“We held my nephews wake at the Sportsman 22/8/25. Wow, he would have been so proud we chose this venue. A massive thanks to Belen and all the staff, they were all brilliant and went above and beyond . We had a hot and cold buffet, the food was delicious, all home made, the sandwiches were really fre”

“First time here in a long time and it was really nice ..good choice of beer”

“Lovely friendly folk, go in here .”

“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.”

“Nice place to watch football, with a lovely atmosphere and a diverse and friendly crowd. Reasonable drink prices.”

“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!”

“What can i say. My new go to Italian restaurant. This place is fantastic. Excellent vaule food absolutely spot on and very nice. The place was packed and I mean packed yet service was fast friendly and spot on. The place has a very relaxed and warming vibe and will be heading back time after time.”

“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 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!!!”

“Came here after a dog walk at teatime for some food with the dog. Had Thai food and it was absolutely lovely. Sat by the bar with the food as we had the dog and absolutely loved it. Good music in the background lovely atmosphere & Quality Thai authentic food and really nice friendly pub. Would 100% come back”

“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 ❤️❤️❤️”

“Excellent experience, would definitely come back again.”

“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. There were 4 fantastic not big brewet ales on tonight with good rock background music next door to the Hyde central station This pub, when drinking real ales in Hyde, is an essential visit”

“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!”

“Visited with friends and grandson from Canada, they wanted to feel the atmosphere in an english pub on match day ! Visited to watch man city and man utd. great day THANKS to the staff and the supporters they left with great memories of their visit. Best pub in the area”

“Was recommended to this little gem by my son the food was absolutely amazing I had the king prawns on sourdough the sauce was just amazing it was followed by spicy lamb koftas on a flatbread and again it was beautiful it was totally filling meal. I would recommend this venue to everyone. The chef must be a magician as we didn’t wait very long for our starters and main meal. The young lady who was serving us and bringing our food was very busy but was polite knowledgeable about some of our parties allergies and always had a smile on her face nothing was a trouble. The staff at the bar were very polite and smiling all the time. We had a wonderful evening and made our stay there absolutely great. The staff at the venue are a credit to the owner and management.”

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

“Had lunch in The Lowes today with my parents and sister. The food was lovely. Served piping hot and it was delicious. Generous portions at a very reasonable price. The staff were friendly and attentive. Really worth a visit ☺️”

“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. Pub was clean and spacious very welcoming. Even got to speak to some of the customers and If you see this Kirsty wonder how that couple got on with there Date”

“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!”

“Our regular watering hole for the last 3 1/2 years, serving a great pint of guiness and are always happy to give extra ice for my better half’s pinot”

“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.”

“A good selection of drinks at good prices! Great atmosphere and has a good sized function room up stairs. Recommended!”

“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.”

“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,”

“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.”

“Looking for a place to enjoy the night with good people then this is the place. Free pool on Wednesday for those who enjoy a good game with a pint. They also have a team who have won a lot of trophies as well as the darts girls so well done for that. They have karaoke all weekend and then karaoke competition on a Monday which is fun but also you get to see Hyde for some of its good talent. Not often a place for trouble and any time there is any then it's dealt with immediately to allow the good people to enjoy their night. Also run by a brilliant landlord and landlady who are friendly to everyone and join in with the fun.”

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