  “I come here often for a casual drink on an evening however with seeing the delicious food I decided to bring my parents out for a meal. The food was delicious, and the staff were so warm and welcoming as always! We came with my son, and they were incredibly friendly and accommodating, which made the whole experience really relaxed and enjoyable. Such a lovely atmosphere as always but definitely come and try the food as well it’s amazing! Thanks guys, you know we’ll be back ☺️”

  “I've been to this pub a couple of times, but this was my first time on a Saturday afternoon. Being the third pub on the Didsbury dozen, I thought it would be too busy, but I found myself a spot at the end of the bar, and was served immediately. The staff and managers were very attentive, despite being busy with large groups coming and going. Every time my pint got low, I was asked if I wanted a new one and John and Keisha chatted with me while at the nearby till and made me feel welcome. (Made me stay for 2 more pints than I intended) I didn't order food, but I saw the food coming out for other customers and it looked and smelled great, again, something I didn't think they would be doing on a rammed Saturday. I'll definitely be visiting again at a quieter time for a meal and will certainly be visiting more often for a pint.”

  “Great pub. It can get really busy at the weekends but the staff are lovely, super attentive and you never have to wait long to be served which is a big sell of any pub! Good selection of beers. With a front and back garden makes it perfect in the sun too. Have been here for live music with resident Reece who’s amazing! I haven’t eaten here yet but the food always looks unreal. On the to do list. Combining the staff, drinks and atmosphere definitely one of the best options in Didsbury!”

  “Really bad food ! Incredibly dissatisfied We waited over an hour for a very bland dinner that had been cooked a while ago 😅 I wish I had got a takeaway and saved my money. Prices DO NOT reflect on the products The food didn’t come with half the things stated on the menu , had more frozen veg than anything 😂 and when asked the chef about missing food they tried to argue the fact (obviously needs to remind themselves of the menu) Then after asking to speak with the manager he said he was too busy ! Lovely atmosphere in the pub, staff were very accommodating also.”

  “Recommend by my daughter and it didn’t disappoint 🙌🏾🙌🏾 The beef was seasoned so well and was soft! The roasted potatoes were delicious alongside the rest of the food. Would defo recommend if you want a Sunday Roast. The service was so quick and there was live singing which was great!”

  “Went in with my boyfriend on Friday. The atmosphere was amazing and the staff were so warm and welcoming! We orders two amazing starters which were incredible. For mains we had the sirloin steak which was cooked perfectly! And the black sticks burger which was one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. Will definitely be recommending the famous crown to friends and family.”

  “Went in for a midweek lunch with my mum and toddler to try the £10 lunch plus drink deal. I'm so glad we did. We could choose where to sit and decided to sit near the fireplace which is super cosy. The service from the lady at the bar was exceptional. Unfortunately I didn't catch her name but she is a credit to the place. Nothing was too much trouble, super chatty and wonderfully kind to my son. The food was really delicious and arrived within 15 minutes. The portions are a little small but that is stated on the lunch deal and wasn't a problem for us, it was just the right size for us personally. Atmosphere was really nice and prices are great. Will definitely return in the future. I noticed they do a lot of pub quizzes and tribute nights which sound good. Wheelchair accessible and also dog friendly. Great place for anyone. Would recommend”

  “I booked a table for 4 for Sunday lunch, just before Christmas. The pub itself is beautiful, outside & inside, after it's much awaited renovation. It is gorgeous inside, with cosy nooks everywhere. We ordered two roast beef dishes, a vegetarian dish & a roast chicken dish. The food was restaurant quality. It looked wonderful & tasted even better. And importantly, hot plates, so the food stayed hot for the duration of the meal. Dionne the landlady, is very friendly & welcoming. Issy, one of the bar staff, whom I have met on three occasions, is excellent. She has remembered me each time & is extremely personable & efficient. Dionne understands very well that chefs & bar staff can make or break a pub/restaurant. Long may "The Famous Crown" continue!”
