Quick info
About The Archer
On Manchester Rd in Manchester, The Archer is a pub that opens daily and takes walk-ins rather than reservations. The kitchen bakes its steak and ale pie as an actual pie with a top and base, rather than serving a casserole under a lid. The chicken flatbread comes in a large portion, and a roast dinner is served on Sundays. A Makers lunch runs to two courses for £15, giving a set option alongside the regular menu. No booking is needed to get a table, and the daily opening pattern means the pub is available across the week rather than on set days off.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the welcoming, friendly staff, including one who made a family with an 8 month old daughter feel at home. The chicken flatbread is called tasty and a huge portion, and the steak and ale pie is praised as an actual pie, not a casserole with a lid. One reviewer found the roast dinner only ok, wanting it warmer and the chicken with crispier skin.

“Went for Roast Dinner. Think it was ok. Could be warmer,I like my food hot. Chicken would be nice with crispy skin (or just a bit more colour to it)- not jelly, fatty top. Did went for lunch week before and it was definitely better then that roast.”

“A lovely pub for a family meal. The chicken flatbread is very tasty and a huge portion and the steak and ale pie is an actual pie! Not just a casserole with a lid which is my pet peeve. The staff were very welcoming and friendly to my 8 month old daughter. Sometimes at restaurants you can feel unwelcome with a baby but not here. We have dined here a few times in the past and we will be back in the future.”

“First visit. Staff so welcoming and we forgot to ask their names… came in around 2.30pm 20th sept. The food was great and large plates. Really tasty and such a good choice of meals. I want to go back to try some other dishes. Highly recommend- even if we got soaked walking there & looked like drowned rats”
