A MUCH better price than the hotels right next to the airport, yet this hotel/pub is just minutes from the hotel. The room was large and the bathroom was so nice and updated! The cow art in the hallways was sooooo cute! I loved loved it! The pub service could have been more attentive, but we were a little impatient as we wanted to repack for the flight the next day. The food was good! My husband enjoyed his flatbread pizza. My gammon steak was incredibly salty, like way too salty. Free parking. Easy check in/out Good WiFi We are back in the UK in August and we're already booking our overnight stay at this hotel. We're looking forward to it. Who says that about their night before a long flight?

Out for a stroll and stopped in for a pint, ended up enjoying a nice pie too. Highly recommend.read more

First time being in Europe and in England as well as we are from The United States. We were staying…read moreat a nearby hotel and wanted something to eat on a specific day that we were in Manchester. We asked our hotel receptionists what was a god place to eat near the hotel and airport walking distance and they pointed us to "The Romper" although it's in an Odd location. The food was great. I ordered some kind of sandwich made with breaded chicken that was AMAZING. I recommend this. And the people were so so sweet. They took care of us in the most amazing manner ever. A hidden gem forsure. Great vibes here.

Super tasty quality food, I noticed that on the menu it even tells you which farm the meat came from, or where the ice cream was made etc. The Greek Lamb and the Gammon are both brilliant. The portions are huge and I'm always left with enough food for another meal but save room for the Holly Bush sundae because you wont ever have a such a selection of tasty locally made ice cream :) The prices are great too, last time I went it was around 30quid for the 2 of us.

The interior is comfortably furnished with a mixture of chairs and sofas to give a relaxed atmosphere. If you were looking for a traditional country pub though it's probably more on the stylish gastro end of the spectrum. That said, the food we had from starters to desserts was superb. Our group, which included a baby and a toddler, were well taken care of and we had a large table tucked away from the main dining area where we could spread out a bit. You can't travel light with young 'uns! Sunday roasts and British dishes head the menu, though the selection for all courses was pretty extensive - I opted for their oak-smoked chicken liver pâté followed by the Sunday roast platter (roast beef, roast turkey and loin of pork) and then sticky toffee and apple pudding (because dessert). Their bar stock includes cask-conditioned beers, real ales and bottles which was good to see. As a designated driver though, I was on the blackcurrant and lemonade! Service was attentive throughout and we were never made to feel rushed at any point. A super venue for a lazy Sunday lunch - will definitely return.

Once you've done that, though, you won't be disappointed with the food, service and range of beers/wines on offer. The Sunday roast is every bit as good as you would expect of a more-than-decent, out-of-town country pub. Another minor niggle is that the car park is a tad on the small size.

This was my only choice and it overall it worked. On the way down a small hill the Bulls Head is situated, with its substantial charming beer gardens, on the left side.The atmosphere was quite welcoming from each staff member I encountered. The barrooms are decidedly aged with great coziness and low ceilings with exposed timbers etc. Overall a very pleasing atmosphere. Several local cask beers are available to be pulled. I sampled 2 neither of which appealed to my IPA preference of style. The menu has some very tasty sounding options and all I saw served were extremely pleasing to the eye. Sadly I feel the kitchens quest for attractiveness in plating does not translate to the flavours on the plate. My lamb rump was overly rare and a little chewy. In talking to a very pleasant local couple who were also dining, they told me that the food here is always good pub fare. In other words it does the trick but you really aren't going to be excited. As an added bonus horses and riders are welcomed.

If you are still reading then here is the rest of the review: The Plough and Flail is next to a really cute alpaca farm!!!! So you can walk across the road and stare at the alpacas doing their thang (chewing grass). It is a really cute little cottagey style building, with plenty of outdoor seating and lots of grassy verges to sit on. It also has a pretty robust looking childrens play area which I stared at longingly as I drank my Becks Vier. (not because i have an unhealthy interest in children, but because I wanted a go on the swings and possibly slide). The Menu is pretty meat centric, sausage and mash, steaks burgers etc and it has a fish specials board which has just about every fishy dish you could ever want. There is even a kids menu and the place seemed really child friendly. I sat outside and the smell of the food was so enticing I wandered inside to sit on one of the big sofas which were very comfortable. It is quite opulent inside while maintaining a rustic homey feel. I have it on good authority (my mum) that the food is EXCELLENT. So try it and tell 'em my mum sent you.

That said it was my mother in laws birthday and I knew they were eating there in the evening with friends. I called up the pub to see if I could order a surprise birthday cake and pay over the phone. Although they said that they did not make birthday cakes they were happy to go to the local bakery and get me one I called up on the night not really expecting that they had as I had not been asked to pay anything. To my delight they had got the cake and I ordered a bottle of reasonably priced champagne at the same time. They couldn't have been more helpful even to the point of calling me back to say that my mother in law had almost been in tears when they gave her the champagne and told them my message. When the time for the cake came, they had added candles and the whole restaurant sang happy birthday. All in all they were great and made my mother in laws birthday really special!
