Rustic bar in Manchester

“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.”

“Came in for a few drinks a couple of weeks ago and I would recommend this pub to anyone. All the staff were friendly, but Kerry really stuck out to me. She is a breath of fresh air, always smiling and Nothing was to much hard work for her. Such a lovely girl and a great assist to you.”

“First time in tonight and couldn't have been more welcoming great barmaid would highly recommend”

“Fantastic atmosphere with Fantastic people, been many times and always great night”

“The Gardners arms team hosted a wake for my late father. They were great. The food supplied by caterer Shirley was amazing. I can’t thank you all enough for your hard work x”

“Great vibe! New landlady new bar staff all really lovely and welcoming....nice outside area and hopefully get the pizza over running again soon”

“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!”

“Visited Smoke Yard for a lovely long lunch with a friend today and we both thoroughly enjoyed the food, which was delicious, fresh, and cooked very well. Our waiter Tom was incredibly attentive and did an amazing job looking after us. Would recommend!”

“By chance we called in as we was passing and ohh it did not fail us the food was absolute gorgeous. 5* food and value Had a share for 2. Yes 100% we will be going again.”

“Fantastic Food, Fantastic Staff. Stunning Surroundings. Beautiful interior and exterior. 100% well worth the visit too sample their Beautiful, Delicious food. And FANTASTIC ATMOSPHERE. Tribute group's start on the 18th December ABBA on. Once every month from then.”

“Went for a breakfast with the grandchildren, was very happy with the food, toast done to perfection, bacon had a chargrilled taste which I loved. The only let down was I like really runny eggs for my toast and beans. But not a dealbraker. The open fire was a bonus along with quite good coffee, being a breakfast coffee, it didn't give you that kick to wake your brain up, more like a brunch coffee.”

“I have FND and today at Gallery grill the staff was absolutely brilliant friendly they helped me by putting marmalade on my toast and bringing my brew over to me because I was unable to with my tremors and unsteady on my feet.”

“Hosted a games night for our running club in the free function room upstairs. Such a beautiful room with original features. We only had chip butties but they were really good, we even got some salad & cakes thrown in and the napkins were super cute! Lisa was super helpful when trying to organise. Would definitely recommend this place and will definitely be visiting again! Thanks for a great night!”

“Called in and had some food, portions and huge and absolutely beautiful. Steak was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend”

“Had a lovely stay including dinner and breakfast. Food was great, we had the roast dinner which was fantastic value for money at £13.95 a head. Breakfast had a good selection of hot food at the buffet. My only, very personal, preference would have been to have more egg options as I didn’t fancy the scrambled eggs and there wasn’t any other option but the rest was delicious and plentiful. Lastly, but definitely not least were the friendly, helpful staff who really made us feel welcome and valued. Highly recommend the Boat & Horses hotel too as the rooms are big, well appointed and the beds really, really comfy. Well worth a stop off.”

“Took my Rotweiler a few times, it's nice to go in a pub with a big dog and people don't look down on him. The staff give him treats and come and stroke him, always a filled water bowl. Great food & they do dog Sunday dinners which go down a treat for £2.50 & a lovely normal roast dinner too. The food menu has a lot of variety. Brilliant view of the canal from the carpark. We love it here”

“Always a warm welcome from the staff and food is always an excellent standard with good value for money. Cozy and warm pub and always clean with a friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend the white hart to everyone”

“My son and I were visiting Fletcher Moss for the first time, and didn't know where to go for food and drinks! Anyway, we decided to go Ye old cock! Well, it turned out to be the perfect choice. Beautiful clean pub with character. Great menu choices. Also, fantastic price deals..a meal and a premium drink each (we chose a Guinness, and a 250ml glass of wine) all for £10!! Great service too. I will definitely go again.”

“I like coming here for a quick pint.”

“Walked in expecting a meal, left feeling like I had just been adopted by the staff. The waiter remembered my name, my water preference, and possibly my astrological sign. I sneezed once and a tissue appeared out of thin air. Now, the food? It was okay. But the service, oh my it was exceptional. Faith was new but great 10/10.”

“Good pub, friendly staff, worth a visit, prices better than others, no food at present.”

“Went in over Christmas to meet friends for a few beers, relaxed atmosphere with great pool table, barmaid was friendly. Would go a again for a pint or two.”

“Myself and friends had a marvellous few hours in the beer garden yesterday ~ the food was delicious and the beer was great. Would also like to mention how lovely the staff are, particularly lovely George”

“Food is so flavourful and comes out piping hot! You can tell it’s fresh. Saved money on it by using NeoTaste and got 2 for 1 on the peri peri platter which was brilliant”

“Great food. Owner is also a good guy.”

“Great family pub, friendly accommodating hosts and punters, fine beers, large car park a must visit venue.”

“A pub with a bustling vibe and relaxed atmosphere. Staff are friendly and helpful and service is efficient. We stopped for a bite to eat and a drink and could have stayed much longer. We had the bao buns and Tokyo burger and both dishes were fresh and tasty.”
