Have been to the Windmill many times and the service can be a bit hit and miss depending on who's working. There are usually 3 joints of meat on the carvery as well as the option of fish, minced beef & onion pie, half roast chicken or sausages. Having had the carvery many times I decided to try the fish for a change. They cooked it freshly for me. I piled on the usual potatoes and vegetables. Couldn't fault it, it was all delicious. There's currently some redecorating taking place, which will give the place a well deserved refresh. The Windmill would really earn 3 stars, but the extreme good value earns an extra star!

Excellent food; great price!…read more I went for carvery option, where you line up and are served your choice of meat. Then you go to the hot buffet for your veg, potatoes, yorkshire pudding, etc. Dessert (extra) is served by your waiter/waitress. Really good value for you money and the food is traditionally British and very tasty. (I believe it is £6 on Friday and Saturday nights, and around £4.50 other nights.)

The woodhouse gardens is a country style pub on the outskirts of Failsworth, which used to be known…read morefor its traditional look- wooden beams, log fire, large hearty meals. However, it recently got updated, in which I worried it's loveable reputation would be ruined if it got too modernised. Luckily it didn't- it's just had a lick of paint and made to look and feel a lot cosier. The menu has totally changed to offer more food options, with more junk food offerings such as 'trash buckets'- buckets filled with pulled pork, fried chicken etc with slaw, cheese and sauces. They still have a huge menu of more home made favourites though. I opted for smoked haddock with spinach mash and a mustard sauce on a Saturday night, and it was so delicious. The mash was creamy and full of spinach, and the mustard sauce was amazing. Possibly the best meal out I have had for a long time! Love the whole feel of a traditional local pub too. Affordable and homely. Recommend eating here!

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.

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.

We had SUCH fond memories of this place from a few years ago when we gave it a stellar 5 star…read morereview. This time it simply disappointed in almost every way. The service was OK, the food offerings just not enticing at all (we ended up with Caesar salads as the main, and stopped to buy some food at a Sainsbury's local and take it back to our hotel room. The cost of cocktails and mocktails was absurd. Mrs G got a mocktail that was totally tasteless for £9.50. I had a margarita that tasted good but the glass was 80% filled with the biggest block of ice that I have ever seen - for £14.50!!!! Advice - stick with beer or wine and don't even consider cocktails!!! The place is still attractive but the fact that it was virtually empty on a Friday evening at 7-8pm is maybe explained by all the foregoing??

Such a beautiful place. Inside is decorative, service was awesome as well…read more We came here for lunch, and it did not disappoint. The drinks, service and food were delish. We tried several different dishes like the Buttermilk-fried chicken, sourdough bread, mash potatoes, french fries, baked broccoli and Slow-cooked beef cheek. My favorite was the buttermilk fried chicken. Definitely can't go wrong with that. All of it was delish. So much flavor and good size to share with 3 people. We also got Sticky toffee pudding for dessert. So yummy! Definitely give it a shot.

TL;DR - Another great food hall, and a great addition to the Stockport food scene…read more Food halls seem to be all the rage these days, but this charming hall in Stockport is a real find. Like nearby Mackie Mayor and Altrincham Market, it's an old building which has been beautifully restored. If you've visited either of those sites then you know what to expect - a variety of food and drink vendors around the sides and seating in the middle. Grab a table, note the number and then go order your food. You pay when you order and then someone will bring the food to your table when it's ready. There's a great variety of foods here - pizza, pasta, Indian and Thai when we went - and we had an absolutely amazing Indian themed fried chicken burger topped with an onion bhaji. Absolutely delicious. There's beer and wine available too, plus a tea and coffee stand. I have it on good authority though that some of the beers here are pricier than you'd find in other nearby bars. But that's a minor grumble. For the setting, the food and the atmosphere, the Produce Hall is definitely worth a visit.
