Local spirits in Manchester

“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”

“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.”

“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!!!”

“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 ..”

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

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“Not able to judge the food (they dont sell any) or the atmosphere (as no one else was in) but the bar itself is wonderful. Only small, with an indoor upstairs seating area & a small section out front with tables & chairs (only good for dry days) Theres also a beer garden to the rear apparently (never tried it)? Although limited for bar space the beer selection is good. More often than not there are 3 locally brewed ales on cask & 8 beers on keg, which usually includes a dark one. Altrincham born & bred Iv'e been coming here since it opened in the early 2000s and despite both it sister bars closing (Chorlton & Liverpool) luckily this bar continues to trade. I wish there was a greater choice, but should you be unable to find something unsuitable on cask/keg, they also have a well stocked fridge with numerous craft ales so im confident you'll find something suitable. Not the cheapest of bars, but far from the most expensive. OK, its getting a little tired around the edges now & the downstairs disabled toilets could do with a bit of a face lift, but all that said I still highly recommend this place.”

“Can’t wait to meet friends and family at the Roebuck again. The outside beer garden looks amazing, the lads have certainly been busy over lockdown. Great atmosphere, delicious food, always warm friendly welcome. See you very soon. X”

“Next to the train station, so location is perfect if you traveling. The Eggs benedict with salmon was absolutely delicious. Eggs melted in my mouth and portion size was just right. The staff was attentive and polite. Cannot ask for more when looking to have great breakfast!”

“Love this place ! Find it by accident :) and I'm well impressed! :) Definitely will be back here ! :) What a beautiful, magical place. :) the all interior is cosy and welcoming and outside looks cool too !”

“Truth to be told joy was an absolute 5* grade A top server! Her eyebrows on fleek, her customer care skills were by far the best I have ever seen! And the baby Guinness was to die for!”

“Beautiful spot for some quiet drinks with friends and family, so far have had a great experience with the staff. Especially Sally who’d let us stay long after close to get us more drinks, excellent effort to make us enjoy our experience at this cosy pub.”

“Welcoming pub, wonderful experience!”

“Visited last night. Probably one of my favourite pubs now. Lovely food, great friendly and attentive staff and very cosey atmosphere. Bit pricey though, but worth it to see all the fires lit!”

“Great crowd of people in here I travelled 8 miles from Bury to meet up with some friends here I certainly will be back, great pint of John Smiths”

“Lovely family run business very polite and lovely all round little shop for all your essentials”

“Amazing choice of Eastern European foods with a huge array of cooked and cured meats along with great looking fresh veg along with all the groceries you can think of and more. It's a treasure trove of interesting foods. Staff are really helpful and friendly, always ready to guide you. Lots of Vodkas and other beverages at a great price.”

“Best services provided professionaly.”

“Needed to order speciality Easter bread and fruit bun, Jamaican tradition, order placed, delivery date given and service with a smile . Tradition respected and supported which was appreciated.”

“I love the staff at this shop super friendly and helpful. My only constructive criticism is that the guy who makes the resin keyrings and jewellery and sells them on the counter needs to come to my house for lessons haha god loves a tryer but he's really not good at it haha, need to learn how to finish his pieces so they aren't sucken inwards. Also wish they would open on time and stay open until their supposed to. Awww ny comment sounds bad but seriously these guys are awesome at this store, always up for a laugh and super chatty to us customers. 5 star rating from me”

“Rosie and Connal you are outstanding. Nothing is too much. I cannot recommend majestic wines more purely because of their knowledge and customer service. 10/10 absolute credit to the company and a truly wonderful customer service thank you”
