  “Phoned manageress at the Spinners Rest, Ancoats, to book/reserve a few tables for 15 family members for a birthday meal/drinks. Told no reservations/bookings allowed. Could hardly turn up, 15 in total, without a reservation . Manageress not helpful. Imagine how much the cost of 15 meals, plus drinks, the company lost, as a refusal to take this booking. Ignore the website which tells you to book a function. Went elsewhere”

  “⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Warm Welcome from Elaine and the Black Dog Pub Team Elaine, the landlady of the Black Dog Pub in Belmont Village, deserves the highest praise. From the moment we arrived as new residents, she and her wonderful staff welcomed us with immense warmth and genuine hospitality. The atmosphere they’ve created at the Black Dog is friendly, inviting, and full of community spirit — exactly what every village pub should be. It’s quickly become our favourite local spot and a big part of why Belmont already feels like home. Thank you, Elaine, for making us feel so welcome!”

  “I was informed by you out of hrs team that one of your pubs is the Cock o Budworth. I tried to book a table via their online system earlier today. Was intending having Sunday Lunch with my wife, we had been numerous times. The online booking system is supposed to send a confirmation ar decline notice. We waited at home for 45 mins, no notification came through so we decided to take a chance and travel. Upon arrival i was told there was not tables available. I asked why nobody had replied to the booking request and that we had travelled 25mins to get there. I suggested thats not how people expect to be treated. The manager just looked at me and shrugged, no apologies, no reasons, no solution offered.. We left and went to another place where there was tables available and in the hope that the customer service will be better. We went to the Goshawk which has great food and a very good customer service.. Holt Brewery/Cock o Budworth needs to raise its management and customer service profile.”

  “We love going to our local holts pub, but the price of wine and Prosecco is absolutely ridiculous. I feel like I’m paying the price of a top London restaurant. It should be much more reasonably priced in your local pub”

  “Turned up for without a reservation as had not planned to having a sit down meal when travelling to Chester - was a party of 6 which included 2 children. Staff shuffled some reservations about and found us a table on a busy Friday evening. Did so with a warm welcome when they could have easily said no. Ordered food and drink - everything arrived together. Great choice selection and the kids menu was really nice to build. Good value for money and portions were great. Staff were brilliant - smiles, courteous and nothing too big of an ask. Good atmosphere all round and an enjoyable meal was had by all.”

  “Friendly staff. Good food. Didn't realise until we got home that all 7 meals didn't have the chipolata or stuffing. The Yorkshires were not the extra large like the photo of the Christmas meal on the menu, but 2 tiny ones. Also check your receipt before you leave. As we were over charged. Would eat there again if in the area though. But wouldn't drive 4.5 hours to meet there with family again. Would eat elsewhere. Photo child's Christmas main.”

  “As a long standing visitor to many Holts pub it’s great to see that after years that all Holts pubs continue to produce good food and beers with a great variety. Still in my experience the cheapest places to eat and drink with a natural friendly welcome from all staff. Looking forward to having a couple later this evening.”

  “"Traditionally Manchester's Finest Ales" is their boast and was their motto on things like bar towels and beermats; and very fine ales they are too. At one stage I had visited over 100 pubs in their tied estate and enjoyed the experience immensely. The houses vary from street corner boozers, to 1960s estate houses, to country dining pubs, Joseph Holt seems to have it all. For me, their best beer will always be Bitter, but the strong seasonal ale, Sixex is very tasty too. In sum, seek out their houses and their ales.”
