Local pub in Manchester

“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”

“Reopened with new landlord and landlady. Very good pub, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Will definitely be calling in on a regular basis. Updated review.... This pub has gone from strength to strength... Great beer, great prices... Regulate entertainment and food too....”

“We turned up as a party of 5, late notice on a Sunday evening after a long drive from the West Country. Despite the kitchen about to close, the lady who served us was extremely accommodating and we were soon served with absolutely lovely Sunday roast dinners; delicious food and plenty of it, nothing was too much trouble. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Lovely atmosphere and a nice clean and friendly pub.”

“Do not think does food. Fabulous pub all the same”

“Just like "Cheers" the series only 100%better. Amazing atmosphere. Fantastic hosts. Great bar staff. Great people. Always offers on. The gin bar is outrageous ! . A place , that when you go. You'll keep going back ! Got to be the number 1 place in middleton.”

“Amazing English atmosphere, and very lovely and hospital owners , they offered complimentary delicious sandwiches and shared the recipe, and free tasting of beverages after showing interest in the cider. They had a great rule of no phones or laptops which encourages real interactions. Definitely recommended :)”

“Strangely closed looking pub near the train station with a couple of ales on and some good crisps (Inc lancashire sauce!) The beer we had was top quality and this place is well worth a visit for the ales and plane spotting”

“Great Sunday afternoon at The Grove - fantastic beers, Motown disco every month - great & friendly staff - and the beer isn't bad either !”

“THIS is the pub to go to if ever you have the chance. And if you've been before, but not since late 2023 - ga again. New, young owners have revitalised the Tavern whilst keeping all the old, well lived traditional features. The food is fantastic, dogs are very welcome. There is even home-made doggy ice-cream, dog snacks and hand-made dog leads for sale. There's a small tuck shop and board games for kids. Lovely walks all around. WINNER OF PUB OF THE YEAR 2025.”

“Great local pub with friendly people and good atmosphere”

“Good atmosphere, kids welcome, staff friendly.”

“Great music (classic rock) and lovely bar staff. Good beer selection with 3 cask, a ton of keg including cider and usually a fruity sour too. Memorabilia on the wall. Sundays are £3/pint of cask.”

“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!!!”

“Been in a couple of times, staff always friendly and helpful, seating outside and a couple of rooms inside that are dog friendly. A great selection of beers also helps! Thanks!”

“Cracking little pub, with a great pint of Guiness. Food is always top quality, and its a great walk with the kids from Marple Station.”

“Had the beef and Stilton pie. Best ever!! Beautiful..Lasagne and chorizo fabulous. Obviously home cooked. Great service and so friendly. Highly recommended and food such a high standard. Get yourself there!..Also dog friendly and able to sit outside under a massive awning if prefer to inside. Lovely walks behind pub and 1.5mile walk from Bullyard campsite.”

“Great local pub, buzzing on a Saturday night. Live artists at weekend. Efficient and friendly bar staff.”

“Very friendly , real fires great beer and dogs welcome . Beautiful family run pub with playground for the kids . Well worth a visit ..”

“Lovely, laid back and unpretentious pub with plenty of stripped wood and some wonderfully tasty ales. Great to see the patronage of local micro breweries and the noticeboard full of Polaroids celebrating all their doggy patrons tells you all you need to know about the overall vibe here.”

“Lorna and staff are excellent. Very welcoming great beer simply a must”

“Came in for lunch and it was lovely. The steak pie was delicious and my dad had the shepherds pie and he said that it was delicious as well. The service was quick and our server Tom was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely come again and will recommend it to our friends and family.”

“Great pub that always has plenty of good stuff of draft and cask.”

“First visit Christmas Day Lunchtime, the staff were very welcoming and the place was busy, we were made to feel that we were regulars, which made this pub, one of in my opinion old school , Dartboard, plenty of conversations, a great choice of Beers at the bar, a lovely first visit to a good friendly boozer.”

“We hosted my partner's 30th here over the weekend and I cannot say a big enough thank you to the Tap! From start to finish, everyone was incredible. Paul was super helpful and responsive and the bar staff were amazing. We all had a great time, thanks so much!”

“Love this place Beer is great..no food but I think it good without.. Outdoor seating Dog friendly (Even provide snacks)”

“Such a nice little pub to unwind, especially if you don’t want anything crazy for the night but just enjoying a drink with friends and have a great meal. Food is really nice and it came in fast. The staff is friendly and thoughtful. They have darts and table tennis so you can enjoy a game while at it too! Recommend.”

“Was in the lord nelson yesterday what a great little pub fantastic atmosphere lovely friendly people the landlady was so friendly could not do enough for us it was are first time as a family going in we will definitely be returning what a little gem of a pub also very cheap beer prises”

“Guinness well good even a shamrock on every pint today”

“Absolutely beautiful place! We stayed in the deluxe family room with our 4 month old which was really big with two bedrooms open to each other joined by steps with a king bed and double bed. You can reach the bedroom via the path outside which is good for a pram, or via the stairs through the pub. The owner and all staff are extremely friendly and chatty. We stayed for one night and had breakfast which was a lovely cooked breakfast with a good choice, and they also had cereal and yoghurt options with fresh juices, The bar is welcoming and had a good selection of drinks, also had their lovely little dogs walking round too. It’s very popular and busy, we stayed in October so I can imagine it’s very popular in the summer. The kids playground was good too with the animals in it and two lovely goats. We’d highly recommend this pub either for food or to stay too, and we’d love to return.”

“A good place for a drink, staff were friendly and pleasant.”
