As we sat down, we made our choices, and was expecting to be served, so we could order drinks/starters. But even though there were less than 3 tables in service, I had to go and find a server so I could order our drinks and meals. This could be forgiven if it were busy, but it was not, and there were plenty of staff just gazing into the void. When I managed to collar someone to make the order, we had to wait an extended length of time, for the over priced, poorly cooked food. When the mains arrived, probably 40 mins after ordering, both the burger, and the steak were EXTREMELY salty, and zero flavour depth. It was so salty, my mouth is still dry and burning as I write this review. You would normally expect, to be asked how the food is, during your meal. And genuinely wanting feedback, to add to value added work, to keep the business continually improving. But in the Firepit, it seems, nobody cares how your food is. We spent the whole meal, batting away flies, and choking on enough salt, to put us in perpetual hypertensive crisis. I mentioned to 2 staff members, how terrible the experience was, but nothing was mentioned to management, and to be quite honest, they didn't seem like they cared. In the restaurant business, you have to be monitoring customer experience closely, as you're only as good as your last weeks customers, so if this isn't actioned upon, I can see this space up for rent, very soon. At the Fire Pit, you pay city premiums, for terrible service/food/experience. This really is a pretentious venue, with zero quality control, or customer service. Experience is everything, and I can say wholeheartedly, they have missed the mark.

Only for my birthday though as it is VERY expensive. We booked and arrived, but unfortunately, our table wasn't ready ... which we thought was a bit off as we booked a time so it should have been ready, otherwise what's the point in booking? So we were sat at the bar, and ordered drinks (maybe a ploy for people to order drinks and spend more so they won't rush people away from tables?) 20 Minutes later our table was ready. The server was nice, very knowledgable, very on hand. We ordered a steak each, and then 2 sides which we shared between us and a glass of wine (the cheapest for me because DAMN I went for an expensive cut) It didn't take long for the food to arrive and it was sizzling hot. When I say this was the best steak I've ever had ... I am not kidding. It had the perfect char, cooked exactly how I asked, a nice salt taste cutting in, melt in your mouth and the best ribeye steak Ive had and probably will ever have. It was big too .. way better than my other birthday where the plate was too big for the steak ... it filled it. The sides of herb butter potatoes and cabbage were amazing too ... buttery, herby, perfectly cooked. If I had the money I would happily go back here ... even though it was very busy and very loud ... the taste blew it out the park

My girlfriend and i absolutely love this pub and are regulars there…read more It is currently undergoing quite a bit of a makeover and will be even better. The fact it is so big makes it so special. It can be busy but there is plenty of space for a quiet meal without being interrupted by kids or football fans or whatever. On the other hand when the football is on they have a screen for wherever you are sat and i like nothing more than meeting friends and enjoying the atmosphere in there. We often dine in there and the food is best described as good wholesome pub food. We have never had a bad meal there and the service is excellent. I recommend the combo platter for 2 which costs a miserly £7 and it fills you up so much that you don't need mains or dessert. The one gripe i have over the food is they use frozen chips, but i always have a jacket anyway so no problem. This is a great family pub that offers a wide variety of beer and is rightly very popular with people from Shaw, Royton and Rochdale due to being on the Royton/Rochdale border. They have a popular quiz night and various special offers on selected drinks throughout the week. There is always something going on, be it for St Pat's day or Australia Day, Halloween or whatever. This is just a great pub for a Sunday afternoon or weekday evening.

The menu is quite extensive, on top of that they are very happy to show you the meat cuts on a small table that is wheeled right to your table. We thoroughly enjoyed starters, mains and dessert. Our waiter was very friendly and happy to advise and check our questions about food with the chef if he didn't know the answer. The food was just heavenly! I would love to come back.

I called at Gaucho to make the most of the Eat Out Help Out Offer in which they are participating,…read morewhich gives 50% off food up to £10 per person during the month of August between Monday to Wednesday as part of a government scheme to aid recovery after the COVID-19 Pandemic. Generally, you can save 25% off food with Gourmet Society membership but this offer takes it further. Inside, the decor is fantastic being set in an old Methodist Church just off Deansgate, accessed via a ramp with a very steep gradient or a large step. The inside area is a stunning old building, decorated with cow print. The cocktail menu was rather expensive, they also didn't have anything basic and seemed to have weird, wacky cocktails which I really didn't fancy, standard spirits and mixers were also rather expensive too. I didn't end up going for a cocktail in the end - one of the best places in the city for a cocktail has to be the Hard Rock Cafe, a 70cl cocktail and a collectable glass for under £13 meant I'd head thereafter for some booze before heading home - the selection here didn't cut it for me. Although known for their steak offerings, I opted for the Spatchcock Chicken. I did enjoy the flavours of the chicken although the leg piece didn't have a lot of meat on, I really enjoyed the breast part - I just wish it would have been more breast. The flavours, spices and sauces were good but I still think it didn't represent value for money at all, this dish alone was £18 without any sides! For sides, I decided to opt for chips/fries, at £5 a portion I expected them to be good, but they just weren't. I found them to be poorly seasoned as well as a little overcooked and soggy, for such a price you'd expect them to be good, fresh chips when in all honestly I've pulled out better fries from my freezer at a fraction of the cost, this meant although I did enjoy a half of my chicken, it didn't cut it as nothing went with it. Considering they only have one lot of chips, there's nothing which would go with steak either, who wants steak and mash? All the staff seemed friendly, with the exception of my waitress who seemed more like an angry mother, who seemed to treat me and my party like a child, for example forcing us to use the menu as a placemat for our food. I also found it a shame to see they were unable to adapt dishes, now this is fine dining, a high-end place with mains costing at least £18 and some items going up towards the £100 mark, a place like this being unable to adapt dishes is truly dissapointing especially for the price mark, they were unable to remove sauces etc as it came "pre-marinated" in many cases. My server also seemed a little rude and easily confused, for example, she couldn't understand when my friend ordered a starter as a main course which was down to the fact he didn't want anything with spices on, as every dish came pre-marinated other than the steak. She did get there in the end, but even that was a struggle. There was also a long wait for food, it at one point felt like I'd never get my food which was quite frustrating as well. They didn't seem overly busy and it didn't seem like anything the large open kitchen couldn't handle either. They do have gluten-free labelled on the menu and do have a few choices, sadly their gluten-free bread is seeded bread which I hate (I wish everywhere didn't put seeds in bread as it ruins it!), also there were no gluten-free starters on the menu which again was dissapointing. Do bear in mind also that this place has a rather high service-charge at 12.5% regardless of how many people are dining, this is also applied before any discounts so even though our group of 3 saved £10 per person, this amount was also subject to the service charge, so that alone worked out close to £9. Considering the long wait for food and the attitude of my server, I don't understand the justification behind that by any means. A high-end place which doesn't live up to the price tag, some good flavours in the chicken and nice decor warrant an extra star but I won't be rushing back to this place. 2*

From their small unit, Tender Cow offer up some really tasty dishes; their tenderloin (£10) with triple-cooked chips (£3.50) being a personal favourite of mine.

I've already spied what I want from them next time - Steak Benedict with bread from Trove in Levenshulme!

The menu consists mainly of meat and fish with various sides. They don't serve alcohol and you can't BYOB as it's a halal restaurant adhering to Muslim values. They do offer a range of tasty mocktails though. You'll find this to be the case with most restaurants on the Curry Mile but don't let that put you off, you can always go to a bar afterwards!

The cocktails were nicely presented however mine was very Vimtoey. Chicken wings soon followed which were plentiful,the spice on them was good and sized averagely. When the mains landed I was pleasantly surprised. Served on a giant wooden platter I double checked to see I hadn't ordered the baby whale instead. The steak was laid out in the same manner smothered with pasta. The flavours were good, although glancing over at the steak it looked so anemic with out the blood.

Will I be back? No but I will recommend it to some of my friends and it is cheap..and meaty.
