About Directors Box

On Booth St, Directors Box is a pub built around global pub fare, craft beer and sports on screens, with subway tile and wood paneling through the room. Multiple screens carry football, golf and rugby, and a pool table sits for those between matches. Bottomless brunch comes with a bottle of prosecco brought to the table, and staff check back for the next round through the sitting. The drinks list runs to cocktails such as Passion Fruit gin with tonic alongside the beer selection. It operates on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. The pub sits about a 15 minute walk from the train station.

Customer Review Summary

Bottomless brunch is what most reviewers come for, typically with a bottle of prosecco waiting on the table, and several call it the best they have done. Diners praise the food as spot on and tasty, and describe servers who check in on the next drink before the last is finished and never let a glass go dry. Close behind is the sport: screens showing football, golf and rugby, and one reviewer describes a friendly, civilised crowd for a World Cup match. A passion fruit gin and tonic and a game of pool also get a mention, along with a very clean pub. The main complaint comes from one brunch group of six, who report waiting 15 minutes for the first bottomless drink and about 45 minutes at one point without a round, despite repeated requests to staff gathered at the bar. They say a supervisor then extended their time slot, brought a free prosecco, took their orders personally and discounted the bill, and they still rated the food and cocktails great.

    “Watched one of the World Cup matches here on a Saturday evening (last Saturday) and had a great experience. The atmosphere was exactly what you want for a big game – a friendly, civilised crowd enjoying the football with no rowdy behaviour at all. The drinks were good, and a special mention to the lovely security guard who was incredibly helpful and friendly throughout the evening. Made us feel very welcome. Would of definitely come back to watch another match if Manchester was local to us. We are from down South but, hopefully visit in the near future.”

    “We had bottomless brunch yesterday at Directors Box. The city v liverpool match was on and it was very busy (this added to the atmosphere). Even though the place was busy, Alex and Liz really looked after us. They sat is down and took our drinks orders. They brought a bottle of prosecco to the table and our drinks arrived. We never had to ask for fresh drinks, Alex and Liz were so attentive and had checked in withbus for the next drink order before we were done with the previous drink. The food was really tasty. Such amazing value. Alex and Liz you are a credit to your company! Great hospitality, friendly and so attentive. Thank you so much”
