“I was traveling with a group from the states and this was our first meal after arriving in Manchester. The food was outstanding and service was spectacular. Lily, explained to those who haven’t had English pies what each kind was and gave great recommendations to the group. Would highly recommend to anyone!”

“The best pie we ever had! Beef and ale is our favorite, but if you choose any other flavor, you can’t go wrong - they’re all delicious. Nice local beer options. Nice and friendly stuff. We’ve been here a couple of times, and we will keep coming.”
- Chapton Senritsu
“Fantastic food and excellent service! The Beef & Ale pie was incredibly flavorful, especially when smothered in their rich house gravy. The homemade chips on the side were absolute perfection, too. We were only in town for a day trip, but stopping here before heading back made the day totally worth it. A must-visit!”
- Mikey J
