Sam Brooks 323 Manor Avenue, Sale M33 4WD

"When you walk into the venue it’s a really lovely atmosphere full of families and refreshing to see a local pub so busy. However, this did not mimic our overall experience. As we were a party of 10+, the policy is to provide a preorder, which is accommodated. But, we then proceeded to wait an hour and a half for the food, with one family member waiting 2 hours! Defeating the hard work of collecting the preorder beforehand. The ‘Surf N Turf’ was asked for as a medium rare however came well done. We sent it back and waited another 15 minutes for the steak to caome back rare. In addition, the All Day Breaktast states sausages and eggs (plural) but only one of each provided. I asked to speak to the manager, who reluctantly came over after around 45 minutes after asking to speak to him. He was accommodating and said he would do his best for us when it came to paying the bill with removing food which wasn't pleasant and other discounts. However, this did not compensate for the overall experience we had here and are very disappointed and upset with the service we recieved. This was for a birthday tea and were all left deflated and still hungry. Do not recommend!"

"Went for mother's day yesterday. Beef Sunday roast . The food was delicious and the service great"

"Been previously and had a really great meal. Recent visit was a huge disappointment. We went midweek and when it was not busy. Got a simple food order wrong and food was dry."

"It's the second time I've been, first time I gave it a four, This time it is a generous two. We had the mix grill on both occasions, but after this one I wouldn't buy it again. We got of to a bad start as the staff totally confused the order up. We got there eventually, but the last thing I said was please make sure they don't put a egg on my plate, Sure enough they did so I ended up swapping food with my wife. The food was dry and over cooked, the chips weren't edible and the pepper saucewas like water. Cut the story short the gammon was the only thing worth eating. I gave it a two because the starter, garlic cheese ciabatta was nice. The staff this time was also a massive let down, first time they were great. They kept popping over to make sure everything was OK, they couldn't do enough for you. For which we gave them a good tip. This time they didn't even come back once to see if everything was OK, they were to busy talking at the bar."

"Our usual place as close to home. Nice place to have a Sunday roast or walk in for a meal. Good food, friendly staff and great ambiance. So pleased to see them open after the lockdown."
