The Bishop Blaize, Old Trafford
Was recently in Manchester on business and thought I would pop in to see how the pub was without the football rabble.
Tuesday is steak night as in most JDW, I was running somewhat late and they were more than happy to accomodate my request for a Rib eye steak at 9.30pm. I chose the option of a pint of pedigree which was served in top form.
Overall on this occassion the food was top class, the beer top class and atmosphere was more than welcoming with a very mixed and friendly crowd of regulars.
It suprising how different the pub was with no match on, but the standards were first rate!

What a place this is! I go to Old Trafford to watch united on a regular basis but in all honesty I go now for the pub and not the game!
Before the game there is a great mixed crowd enjoying a great sing song led by the legend of the terraces Pete Boyle, then after the match a bizarre little Chinese chap gets up and starts dancing, the funniest thing ever.
Staff are really friendly and some of the managers are a bit wacky one in particular who sings Boyzone songs?!?!?!? Beer is always top draw, prices do go up on match day but in all honesty I would happily pay to come in!
keep up the good work team, a trully unique venue!

oh dear what has happened to this place? Used to be a thriving boozer with a good selection of real ale and very helpful staff.
Everyone is now miserable with only Pedigree ever available, its often cluttered with dirty plates and glasses and the bar top is swimming in spills! Customer standards have dropped too, just a den of scum and scoundrels!
Hard to believe this was pub of the year a few years back, sort it out Tim!
