Absolutely 10 times better than when I last visited. The beer selection is great now and the craft beers are gorgeous. This place is now worth a visit once again.

Now an ember inns pub serving 8 real ales, a craft beer from purity and a couple of ciders. Different decor but still the same type of food. Cask club on monday £2.49 and 20p off for camra members. A bit safe on the real ale side and I would like to see some local beers on cask given the fact that they have 8 hand pulls.

Grand looking pub from the outside but a shade disappointing once inside. Sets its stall out for diners with a menu as long as your arm. Beers are from the excellent Hornbeam Brewery (in Denton) but the in-house quality is variable. Sorry, not for me.

Coincidental that swifts and kip2011 both have recent, multiple, positive comments? I doubt it.
|
What the hell was that last comment about? It sounds like your selling a house! A pub that sells food that is a bit poncy if you ask me and you don't feel comfortable drinking in there. At least they have s couple of real ales on but they are both from hornbeam. More variety on that part.

Situated in the suburb of Audenshaw, this once privately owned house dates back to 1870. Sympathetic changes have been made, including the addition of a large conservatory, but features from the original Victorian house have been retained, including old-fashioned fireplaces, tiled floors, high ceilings and beautiful stained-glass windows.
From the moment you step through the doors, prepare to be seduced by the pub's classy interior. A beautiful chandelier lights up the cosy, intimate bar area, which leads to the restaurant upstairs. Peruse the main menu and specials board while sipping a beverage of choice; the bar is fully stocked with a comprehensive choice of wines, beers, spirits and soft drinks. You can expect a wide range of choice from the menu; a typical starter might include a homemade beetroot and goat's cheese tart or Scottish smoked salmon on a potato and chive cake, while the mains menu boasts an impressive selection of traditional dishes.
Perfect for those times when you may be in somewhat of a hurry, the Fairfield Arms offers a convenient pre-order service. So, if you're on a strict lunch hour, or perhaps on the way to the cinema or airport, you needn't worry about waiting on your order - instead, simply relax and enjoy your food in plenty of time.
Making the most of the stunning building in which it is housed, the venue lends itself perfectly to functions. Why not consider the Fairfield Arms for a wedding reception, birthday party, business conference or summer party? The function room, located in the basement, boasts its own bar and offers enough space to accommodate up to 90 guests - just call to discuss your requirements.
With its unique exterior and excellent location, a visit to the Fairfield Arms is a must. If you're looking for somewhere a little different to dine, your search is over.

lovely big pub in a nice setting. Good range of beers with a house cask and a usually seasonal guest, The 'Old Santa' that has been on over Xmas being particularly good. Food and service can be sometimes inconsistent but a nice pub alltold

was there on the same night as the reviewer posted 25th sep 2011. It was a very busy evening indeed and the bar staff coped well they knew of the leaving party from a local company coming in, but due to more diners and drinkers visiting the pub that night they were all pushed.. due to the fact that pub operators are controlling costs and labour is the main factor good operators don't have staff coming out of there ears thats why they are surviving ..

Been going occasionally for about 15 years on work's leaving dos etc.
The service used to be absolutely dire, the beer poor even when they had a decent brew to start with.
Now they�ve got Hornbeam brewing them a house beer, the only handpulled one on, still below par. Clearly they either don�t know how to keep beer or don�t care.
Service started ok last Friday tea time, even though they were warned of a leaving do it wasn�t brilliant. Later it got a whole lot worse. Every seen anyone actually move consistently in slow motion? I have now, it was strange sight indeed. The third time the barmaid ignored me and passed to put glasses away I loudly ordered a drink. Pints were topped up a bit if requested, with very bad grace. Why employ someone like this behind a bar?
It�s all a shame because the pub�s really nice and the food�s always been ok (but slow).

No cask ale. No food despite claiming to serve until 10pm. Surly staff. Dismal.
|
Have to agree! Ale was ok though.

Went Tuesday evening 12 May 2009 with two friends.
2 ordered Simon the Chefs speciality steak and ale pies with chips and peas. 1 ordered sirloin steak with diane sauce.
The food when eventually it arrived was awful. The crust on the pies you could have used to tarmac a road with it was so hard and the steak and diane sauce was cold.
A very disappointing experience food wise and one not to be repeated by a return visit.
Needless to say none of us placed any money in the tips box which was stratigically placed by the till. The only tip we would suggest was get a decent chef.
