Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to the function room, with baby showers and a Christmas dinner described as running smoothly, and the bar staff praised for helping decorate and take the room down. Several call the staff friendly, and one mentions a bartender offering to cook sausage for a dog. On the food, the burger and spicy tortilla wraps get a good word, and a few describe the prices as cheap or well priced with prompt service. The caveats are about the kitchen and upkeep. Three diners had meat that arrived overcooked, and another received an all day breakfast with no tomatoes, burnt bacon and dried up beans, plus a cowboy burger light on BBQ sauce. One found the nachos too heavily flavoured, and another noted some menu items were unavailable. One function room guest said the toilets and floor had not been cleaned, so a friend hoovered before the party. One busy visit ended with plates thrown down and wine served in a gin glass.

“Popped in for lunch before an appointment at Salford Royal. Ordered an all day breakfast and a cowboy burger. All day breakfast came with no tomatoes (and no prior warning), burnt bacon and dried up beans. The cowboy burger didn't come as advertised either. Really skimped out on the sauce. I'm pretty sure there was no BBQ sauce on thr burger either as couple taste it at all. No food check done either otherwise would have brought this up to the attention of the staff.”

“We hosted my friends baby shower here a week ago, and I just wanted to say the venue was brilliant, really welcoming and clean, Annabelle was also excellent and is a credit to the pub, she made sure the bar was always flowing and also helped us with decorating the room and taking down which was really really appreciated. Thank you so much Annabelle, you are a star! - Shelby x”

“Food was awful, plates thrown down on the table. And given a gin glass for wine as the wine glasses were getting washed, staff were run off their feet.”

“Called in for a drink with my dog whilst waiting for a friend who was visiting hope hospital. I’ve eaten here before and had a nice meal. Didn’t eat this time but I asked about dog treats to which they didn’t have any but the gal behind the bar offered to get some sausage cooked up for pooch. A very nice gesture and thanks but I was only there for a quick drink so declined. But I will take you up on the offer next time.”
