  “We had a great happy hour at this pub and really enjoyed the experience. Thanks to the warm, sunny weather, we were able to sit outside, which made the atmosphere even more pleasant. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit, and the service was quick and efficient. A great place to relax with a drink after a long day. I’d happily recommend it if you’re looking for a casual pub with a nice outdoor seating area.”

  “We recently visited The Bay Horse Tavern for their bottomless brunch, and it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. A massive shout-out to Nathan and the short-haired lady whose name I unfortunately can’t remember – the service from both of them was unbelievable. Friendly, attentive, and always making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. They genuinely made the experience and are a real credit to the pub. I honestly can’t compliment your staff enough. The drinks kept flowing, the food was great, and the atmosphere in the Northern Quarter was exactly what you want for a weekend brunch. The only tiny complaint I have is that bottomless hash browns should be delivered the moment you sit down! If there was a way to have an endless supply of crispy hash browns from arrival to departure, I’d be there every weekend. All jokes aside, it was a brilliant experience, and we’ll definitely be back. Thanks again to Nathan and his colleague for making it such a memorable afternoon.”

  “Came on a seriously busy Saturday and the staff were super attentive and brought out our sandwiches quickly. Fish finger sandwich was really good. Easy and quick meal in the centre of Northern Quarter.”

  “The fish and chips and chicken Kiev were great but the service was awful. The short male waiter was rude, had a bad attitude and no customer service skills. It really ruined the experience. He approached the table and said "yeah?" when asking for our order, no hello, no thank you when we left. Then had the audacity to ask us for a £4.40 service charge, laughable.”

  “To mark the end of a smashing, flying weekend visit to Manchester, I decided to treat my partner and I to a Sunday lunch, before our late afternoon return to Edinburgh. Not being familiar with the city, it was a bit of a an online punt identifying somewhere that had great food, but within easy walking distance of Piccadilly station. With the Bay Horse Tavern we struck a gem. The busyness of the venue when we arrived was a good marker for what was to come. Warm and friendly service, great Bloody Maries, and one of the best restaurant Sunday lunches we've experienced in a long time. The pub is also a lovely, traditional space, however if there was one thing I could change about our visit, it would be to be sat in the main room, as opposed to the, none-the-less, very agreeable, basement dining space. All in all, the Bay Horse Tavern has a deserved reputation for excelling at delivering a knock out Sunday lunch experience. We will call again, when we get the chance.”

  “Headed to Bay Horse Tavern for a celebratory Sunday lunch meal, there was 6 of us and we were seated downstairs. What hit us all straight away was the smell of the food! The Sunday menu is small but it all smelt incredible and it made choosing so difficult! Many of us chose the fish, which was 10/10 both in flavour and portion size, and the rest chose the roast, which also got rave reviews. I was told it was the best gravy they’ve had in a long time! The downstairs area was small and had a nice cosy atmosphere - very different to the upstairs - and the staff were lovely. We had a lovely server called Luke (I think!) who was an absolute gem. Generally I think places like this get a little overlooked, because they’re so central, but BHT was great and would definitely consider going for food again!”

  “The beef and lamb roasts were chewy. The potatoes were oily or rock hard, and the giant Yorkshire puddings were bland. The roasted veg was nice but not good enough to recover the meal. For £18 in the centre of town, it's fine but not good by any means.”

  “I came here for lunch with a couple of friends to make the most of the 50% off food in January offer. I got Halloumi Fries as a starter, and the Braised Short Rib for my main. There was a LOT of fat on the latter, but I was overall satisfied for a tenner. Something went wrong with one of my friend’s Sausage & Mash meaning they got it as we were finishing our meals. A bowl of chips was provided as an apology, but when their main finally arrived, it only had 2 sausages which made this plate not worth the wait. Friendly service, though:)”

  “Had fish and chips platter with peas and curry, with tartar sauce, and diet coke. After had a cappuccino. Good portion on plate, tasted good enough. The peas a little cold. But not worth sending back. Overall a good meal in a clean and tidy place. Downside I think the price for what is a limited menu is expensive £18 for the food, then drinks on top. That being said they had a special offer of half price on meals Monday to Friday throughout January. So that balances out the regular cost. Atmosphere is pleasant enough and staff where friendly. As for access parking is on street only and limited. Disabled access whilst I didn't ask about other entrys the doors I used had a few steps. Overall a decent place to grab a meal and drink, while offering a discounted menu,”
