popped in for lunch yesterday. good food, but the Deuchars IPA left a lot to be desired. I also popped in this evening with a couple of friends. They advertise that they serve food every day until 10pm, yet when i tried to order some at 9:30 they told me they werent serving.

disappointed all round. dont advertise a service if youre not going to provide it!

Good pub with excellent cask ale, have visited many times now the selection of guest ales varies but is generally of good quality. Food is good value but seems to be of slightly higher standard for just 'pub grub'.
As mentioned previously the pub retains its original character to an extent but with an over whelming amount of advertising and standardised products it does have a somewhat 'chainy' feel to it.
Service has always been excellent and staff very knowledgable on products and the history of the building... oldest building in Manchester apparently!
A must visit on a Manchester pub crawl night, shares a garden with Sam Smiths so good outside area.

Visited on a busy saturday before a concert with my girlfriend, only complaint was its very cramped when busy! Apart from that food was fantastic, restaurant was full and didnt have to wait longer than 15minutes really, staff were working very hard and obviously sweating! Could have probably done with more staff considering the level of business!
Outside is great, you can smoke in the big beer garden, shame half the furniture is falling apart though.
Next door is good cheap beer, but if you want cleanliness and quality personally I'd side with the Old Wellington.

Myself and three friends tried here this Saturday evening. We wish we hadn't!

One of our group has to wear a hat for health reasons and so was wearing a warm woolen hat. We were told in an extremely threatening and rude manner by a large foreign door person (who was also not wearing a SIA arm band) that he must take his hat off whilst inside. We pointed out that it was for health reasons, was not 'peaked' and also how other people were inside wearing their warm hats.

This door person then said in pidgeon English something about "They are women, they are allowed to!" and forcibly removed my friend from the pub, after pouring his drink into a plastic glass.

This was absolutely abhorent behaviour and we immediately asked to speak to the Duty Manager. We asked for an explanation of their hat wearing policy and explained it wasn't a peaked hat and was worn for health reasons. The Duty Manager acknowledged it was wrong for the Door Person to throw this chap out but other than that was a bit not-interested.

Expensive drinks, extremely rude, violent and possibly illegal security staff, there are plenty of other more pleasant watering holes to visit!

Called in for food earlier this week. Very different to last time I ate here a few years ago. The food area upstairs is still nice, but the food is now traditional bar food. It was extremely good value for money, with good straightforward pub food and decent sized portions. Given that most city centre pubs cash in on the food market at lunchtime then don't serve food in the evening, I'll definitely be returning here!
About 3 cask ales on - I drank the Cumberland, which was fine.
