  “This is the second year that we have stayed in Manchester at this location whilst visiting family. We found this place last year, & although the rooms have no air con' there is a fan provided, which is welcome & sufficient to take the edge off a warm night. The location is idealistic , sat by the lazy canal as it drifts by , whilst you enjoy a drink or a pretty darn good meal from the menu & a 10% discount for overnight guests. We will be back ... see you next year !”

  “Could not have picked a better place to catchup with family females. Accommodated a party of 20, the food was excellent, service from all staff was first class and all very pleasant and helpful. One of our party unfortunately fainted and the staff were very attentive and on the ball with help and making sure she was comfortable and rang for ambulance. Couldnt praise them anymore they were absolutely amazing .”

  “Lovely setting with live music. Perfect for a sunny, Sunday afternoon. Food was lovely but because we ate outside, we had to have our starters served at the same time as our main meal, not ideal. Had a lovely time. Worth a visit but advised to book as it's a popular spot.”

  “Sat on the exterior area and it was really nice by the river. Good selection of food and beers/ciders. The mains were on the expensive side and I am not quite sure why. Had some starters and pizza on relatively reasonable prices and they were quite tasty for a pub. I would recommend it overall except the food prices.”

  “This weekend we celebrated our wedding at the Waterside, Monton. Kaylei, was amazing from our first enquiry to the end of our special day. Nothing was too much trouble...including our sticky toffee tower wedding cake and fountain! On the day, well, "wow" is all I can say. The whole team who looked after us, bar, restaurant, chef and of course Kaylei were just outstanding. The whole day ran smoothly. We didn't even notice the food coming in and the plates leaving, everything was effortless. What a team! I genuinely can't recommend them enough. Thank you one and all, from the new Mr and Mrs Taylor. 06.06.26 🥰💍👰🤵‍♂💒”

  “I recently dined at The Waterside and overall, the food was lovely with generous portions. I enjoyed my steak, although it was a bit bland, but a quick sprinkle of salt and pepper from the table tableside easily fixed that. Unfortunately, I found a hair in my food. It wasn’t the same color as anyone I was dining with, and my hair was tied up, so I believe it wasn’t from me. I mentioned it to the lady when she collected our plates, but I was surprised that no one returned to our table afterward to apologize or offer any sort of compensation. I was already full and didn’t need anything else, but I felt somewhat let down by the lack of care and follow-up regarding the mistake. The waiter did apologize when I brought it up, but overall, I felt the customer care was lacking, especially with no further response from management.”

  “I stayed here this past week in the James Brindley room, and it was great. Being mid-summer, I was worried about the light coming in early in the morning, but the roller blind and curtains took care of that! The shower was really powerful. The pillows could have been a bit 'plumper', but they were OK. And the room price was really good value. I had dinner in the bar and had the Short Rib Fettuccine, which was well-cooked and very tasty. If you are looking for an overnight stay in the Eccles/Monton area and want something a little bit different, this is the place to stay.”

  “We booked the small room for our daughter’s 7th birthday and had a brilliant time. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, the venue is lovely and the food all came at the same time (21 dishes!) and was great. Would highly recommended. Thanks waterside!”

  “Walked along the Roe Green Loopline and found this pub as we turned around to walk back to our car. The pub has a lovely vibe, relaxing, classy and helpful staff. Our pints of larger were perfect as was the canal side setting - luckily it was warm enough for us to sit outside in the beer garden. As we felt a bit peckish we ordered a portion of chicken wings in salt and pepper, a portion in bbq sauce and a chicken skewer. The chicken wings were tender and with 4 per portion just the right size to quell our hunger. We did think the bbq sauce had a lot more flavour than the salt and pepper flavourings. The reason for the 4 star review, rather than 5, is we thought the chicken skewer was small by comparison and rather dry. It also didn’t have much flavour. Overall we would visit agin if in the area as all 3 of us felt it was a lovely pub.”
