We lucked out with this hotel! We had a morning flight out of Manchester and so we drove from my…read morehusband's hometown and stayed overnight in this super cute pub hotel. 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?

The Trafford is one of three major Manchester United pubs in the area surrounding the ground. Along…read morewith The Bishop Blaize and Sam Platts, it is one of the liveliest places to go before the game, and one of the must visit places if you want to do your visit to Old Trafford properly, a real piece of the football club. Situated on Chester Road just by Manchester FC train station, The Trafford is the first one of the big Manchester United pubs you will come across. Its got two rooms, one a huge normal pub area, and the other a square room, which looks a lot like a dance floor, with a smaller bar for bottled beers only. This in not a dance floor but a chant floor, where Manchester United fanatics gather before each game to shout and sing the classic United songs. Drinks are expensive of course, but they are the same everywhere on match day at around £3. They also have some amazing facilities for pouring beers very very fast in large quantities, so check it out. Going here are to the other two pubs (see Yelp) is a really important part of going to see Manchester United play, so don't skip it!

They have a small but decent range of ales on tap, including a local light IPA and a darker ale. They also had Aspall's cider which is always great to see, especially in summer. The lamb burger was recommended on trip advisor and I would second that - it's huge with a nice comb of minty mayonnaise and feta as toppings. Bf had fish and chips which he has had before so obviously likes. We didn't have to wait too long for the food and it came out hot. This is a great stop off from the Middlewood Way (and could form a Middlewood Way pub crawl with the Vale Inn in Bollington, the Miners Arms in Adlington, the Boar's Head in Higher Poynton, and the Station in Marple.

Having recently changed managers and been completely refurbished both inside and out, this former…read morelacklustre local boozer is now a much more contemporary and food-focused pub. It's still part of the JW Lees pub chain mind you, selling their beers (so don't be expecting anything too exciting flowing from the taps), but they've done away with the company logos on the exterior and really put lots of thought into how to target their revised customer base - diners with a slightly more modern appetite. The dining spaces are smartly designed and depending on your party's size, you could reserve a semi-private area for your meal. We sat in the conservatory restaurant area which overlooks the beer garden and Bridgewater Canal; it's a light and airy part of the building, even in winter. Their food menu is seasonal, so we got to see what they were offering for winter. We were all sold on the Sunday roasts though, which were good quality and reasonably priced at £10.50. Feeling the need to treat ourselves to dessert, we ordered sticky toffee puddings (gorgeous) and a cheeseboard. The service was a well-oiled machine; the team worked seamlessly and were very welcoming. It's promising that there's now another local eatery that you could take your whole family to and they'd be well catered for.

They have a lovely duck pond, huge play area and open space for kids to run around. Last night me and the Mrs popped in for a bite to eat as we had heard that they had a new menu and chef. We went disappointed, I had a falafel burger (not my usually choice of food) and my wife had a steak. Both were lovely and cooked fresh. The prices range from £6.50 (light bite) to £16.00 (steak) for main meals and I believe we got our money's worth for ours. I would definitely recommend this pub for a meal or just for a drink. The staff are friendly and professional and clearly take pride in their work. Also they always have around 4-5 cask ales on which are always different.

I have driven past here a great many times, but last night was the first time I have had the…read moreopportunity to visit the pub itself. This was a local CAMRA meeting, so we were fairly confident of finding decent real ale. The pub has obviously had a major refurbishment recently, resulting in a magnificent community pub- almost large enough to be a community itself! The bar and restaurant areas are welcoming and uncluttered. There is a large conservatory-type extension at the back for functions, plus a wonderful function room which gives all the feelings of a medieval banquet hall! The outside areas comprise a more than ample car park, a beer garden which could seat forty plus and a superb children's playground area. All areas were extremely clean and well-looked-after the toilets being small but very modern and hygienic. All staff encountered seemed to be interested in serving and knowledgeable about their wares the landlord especially so. The only minus points for me were the fact that I had to drive to get there and back, hence I could only have a few tasters of the beers, and the price of said beers. When pubs nearer home are selling real ale for between £2.30 and £2.70 a pint, £2.95 seems a bit much for somewhere that is off the beaten track. That said, I am still going to recommend The Black Swan to any friends for a visit.

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.
