The standard steak and ale pie was great. Served with gravy for a great compliment. The outside was flaky while still being bready.

Come in and enjoy with a cocktail or draught beer for best consumption.

Evelyns is a place where I always saw it online and recommended but never got around to going. Im…read morenot sure why because I'm always in that area. One Sunday I went up as I could get there for opening time and decided to cross it off my list. When I got there it was already open so that was a little confusing ... but it was RAMMED. Luckily, I was going on my own so could easily be sat at the window, which was a great view, and easily got served. So many people came in after me and couldn't be seated without a reservation. But the host was very lovely and gracious and people understood. Food wise I went for the shakshuka, it sounded nice, and it really was ... it was also EXTREMELY hot because it was served in cast iron and kept its heat. It was delicious. The toast was crispy, the tomatoes were tasty, chickpeas were crunchy and a nice addition, The added sausage was very delicious, the eggs were good although I would have preferred if they had some runny yolk but its almost impossible to get that with baked eggs. Server was lovely, staff were great, absolutely need to return here when I can.

Based on the constant recommendations for this place I was really looking forward to going and I…read morehave to say I was disappointed. The decor of the place itself was gorgeous. No comments on that. However, the host, who was also our waiter, was nice but we felt extremely rushed for our breakfast. He gave almost no time for us to decide on what we wanted to eat and seemed keen on getting us in and out and soon as possible even though we were one of two groups there. Like I said, he was nice and stuff but we felt really really rushed. Every time he would finish speaking to us, he would go over and speak with some guy sitting with a computer. So we think the rushing had something to do with him wanting to speak with whoever that was. The latte we got was delicious. The food was okay. Both our dishes came out warm or borderline cold. I asked for mine to be reheated and they agreed no problem, but when it came back, it was exact same temperature. I just gave up and said it was fine. The taste itself was okay. Definitely needed more flavor. Oh and why were both our dishes SWIMMING in chili oil?? I know the dishes said chili oil was part of the dish but I wasn't expecting chili oil soup with a side of steak and eggs basically. Idk if it was a presentation thing or a flavor thing.. either way it was just too much. just kept getting all over everything and one napkin is definitely not enough to handle all of that lol. I'd come back, but definitely not order what I ordered again.

Cool decor and cool music- ranging from New Order to alternative . Menu was legit British pub bar food - pies, burgers, fish and chips etc. But lemme tell ya their haddock fish and chips was one of de best I've ever had to far. A large more than generous portion battered and fried perfectly. Imma steak fry cut girl and their chips were delicious ! - thick cut, the way I like them and fried with a delicate crispy outside. We did have to ask for some ketchup. I thoroughly enjoyed the side of mushy peas- seasoned lightly, partially mush with partial full size peas. The steak and ale pie was delicious. Drizzled the yummy gravy all over. Order food at bar, they'll bring food to your table when ready. Great food, reasonable pricing for generous portions! Cool vibes

Though our stay at Abel Heywood was short, it was definitely worth it…read more It was a bit difficult to find as it's tucked within a few small streets, but the boutique hotel was memorable. It was conveniently located within walking distance of central Manchester with a variety of shops and pubs. Our room was very clean, and it seemed as though everything was fairly new and well kept. I liked the unique touches the hotel had as well, such as a vinyl record player, records, and a few books placed here and there to enjoy. It was also very quiet in our room, which, at the time of booking, I was skeptical of considering it was above the pub. The breakfast that I had at the pub was also very good and the service was very hospitable, both from the pub and hotel hosts. The only criticism I have is that the water in the shower kept going from warm to cold, which during the winter is unpleasant. Also, the internet was fairly slow, more so during the evening hours, which I attribute to the higher volume of people possibly using the WiFi. However, overall, the Abel Heywood is a place I would definitely recommend to others as well as visit again.

But now I know why, even though it's not hidden, it's listed as being on Lever St but in reality it set back from the road slightly down Faraday St. So it's not immediately visible from Lever St unless you're looking for it; which is really my only reason for not giving it 5*. Pie and Ale doesn't bound head long towards the current fashion of ultra trendy scrounged and up-cycled interiors that so many bars are doing, it's interior is very clean and simple but also warm and inviting and won't age or go out of fashion as quickly as some of the other bars in the NQ. It's also got several different space so you can choose to sit in the open seating area with the large glass windows, next to the bar at high benches or walk around the corner and up the stairs for a more cosy intimate set of booths above the bar; this means the location can suit a lot of different situations. They have a good selection of ales for the likes of myself, but have a good range of bottle beers and your general assortment of keg beers, wines etc. The pies are on the pricey side (£9.95-£11.95) especially compared with the likes of Pie Minister (£7.95 for the Mothership) only a few blocks away, but they are big and hearty as you'd hope and with the availability of cask beer (Pie Minister only has bottles) improves the experience for me. In my opinion it's always nicer having a fresh well kept pint than having bottled beer. I had the Moufflon and Minted Chocolate which was spot on as far as I'm concerned the chocolate and stout sauce went fantastically with the well cooked steak. Overall I really enjoyed the relaxed feel of Pie and Ale and will be most likely to return now I know where it is.

I really thought the selection was excellent (and well priced - a flight of 3 thirds was £3.40 of cask ale) and their bottles are a good mix of what America and Europe has to offer! This place is going to be amazing for the world cup with a big screen up in the main bar showing all the matches (they were actually showing the Champions league final on Sat night, adding to the ambience) - and the music was just the icing on the cake - what a fantastic selection of reggae, dub and hiphop for the 3 hours I was in. Really looking forward to going back and having some great beer with a phat ass pie soon! *extra note should go to all the waiting staff - amazing friendliness and table service all night - nice job guys!*

It was also not clear if it's table service but it looks like it isn't and eventually (there was a dearth of menus it took a while to share around the one we had) we ordered at the bar and got some decent cocktails, mine was an intriguing combination of bourbon, sweet vermouth and white sherry. The sherry was a shade too dominant but overall I liked the somewhat unusual mix and I also thought the menu is pretty well written - it gives both the flavour and name of the ingredients of each cocktail which makes it much more accessible than menus which just proclaim the obscure liquors and give you no idea what it might taste like! It's also a good price point: £7 - £7.50 on average. Overall I was a little turned off but the lack of any interest by the staff in serving us - they could clearly see us sit down from the bar and the place was really quiet so they should have come over either to take an order or ask us to come up to the bar when ready. I wouldn't rush back for that reason but it seems like a decent addition to the NQ rotation and its large size may be an advantage on busy nights.
