The Barton Arms in Worsley is not a Gastro pub dining experience as Ember Inns now markets it as. This is nothing more than a badly run, Licensed Fried Food Outlet!
If you like processed Fish & Chips with a slice of lemon and you wish to be subjected to extreme rudeness, straight out of the �Basil Fawlty� school of hospitality by Mimi the manageress, then I would highly recommend you pop down to Worsley in Salford and visit the Barton Arms.

Went there a couple of weeks ago and was disappointed since my last visit. Whilst the staff were friendly enough the pub was extremely noisy and we noticed that "strangers" got scowled at. The food was average, but edible and not expensive.
I would agree with drphibes last comment about the Barton losing its way. It has been better in the past and could be a lot better in the future.

The previous comment by supporter is more than inaccurate. Ths pub has lost a lot of trade, especially local, since the new landlord came, the pub seems to have lost direction completely. Rumoured the landlord will not be there too much longer.

wow me and my wife are new to the area and have naturally checked out the local pubs. Beyond any doubt the Barton Arms is clearly the best! exceptionally friendly young couple run it. great team of employees and consistently great food, drink and atmosphere. First class standards and service. Extremely busy pub (no suprise) and a all round great place 2 be. I believe the landlord and landlady have only been there for around six months and locals speak very highly of them. Do yourself a favour and visit this fantastic place and I am sure you will agree with me.

Sadly visited this pub? on the 31/07/09, with my family 56, 38, 34, 32 & 2 months old - yes they don't do under 14's, but can a 2 month old sleeping baby really cause trouble? Yes, according to the lady/girl/child who must have been close to breaking the pubs own rules! when she snarled you can't bring that in here!
I hope the company and its tenants are happy with this scenario. My family and I will never again attempt to walk into such premises and will continue to enjoy those public house's that care and value it's customers.
Please take a moment to consider your customers and to teach your staff that we are all human beings and that talking to those in such a manner often offends.

Ember inns place offering very good food at great value. It's located on a new housing estate just by the centre of this picturesque, historic village and accessible from the Bridgwater canal. 3 ales available, all in fine form- 2 'safe' or 'unadventurous' ales, depending on your opinion (Black Sheep and Landlord and a guest from a microbrewery. It was very busy on a Saturday night but the atmosphere was good.
Not one for the architecture connoiseur with its modern interior and furnishings, but all in all a good experience.
|
Consistently good food and beers, nice clean, modern interior. I particularly enjoy it at lunchtime or evenings earlier in the week when it's not too busy.
|
Very busy, but I can see why. Food was top notch, the service was efficient (especially considering the number of people waiting at the bar). Interior is warm and pleasant and the whole place has a good atmosphere.
Will certainly be calling in there again on my next trip up.
|
Good local pub, choice of three guest beers. Does a good food trade and is very popular for it. Tends tio get busier at weekends evenings, although most people leave by 10 for the John Gilbert.
|
Good atmosphere and a good selection of real ales. Black Sheep was especially good.
|
Full of snobs with attitude problems at weekends, bore off.

Went in here over easter. Had a great pint of Deuchars
IPA. This place is great if you want a decent pint - better than the Bridgwater over the road

Excellent food, good choice, good service - the pub can get quite busy though. toilets situated at one end so you have to push your way through if you are at the wrong end. Can be difficult to park in the area.
|
When I was recently in there it had only lager (boo) and smooth beer,no real ale. Still the pub and staff were ok so I will probably pop in there again one day.
|
Serves great quality real ale, Boddingtons, Bass and a guest ale, and good food. Always start here on a crawl of Worsley. Tends not to get too busy unlike the Bridgewater over the road.
