So very disappointed

We dined there this evening! My partners starter & main course was ok but my food was hugely disappointing. My starter was smoked salmon with prawns “ and the salmon was dried around the edges plus the prawns where tasteless and a strange shade of green “ I understand it was ment to be a verde sauce” but the presentation and taste was yuk!! Partner main lasagne & he say was just ok! The pasta was hard.

Great stay with great service

Turned up with a party of 16, had to add a plus one and was well accommodated, really good food and service, mine didn't arrive as expected but the team put it right straight away, always difficult with a large party of people, but the food came almost simultaneously for everyone which was unexpected, food was excellent from that point, the place has a lovely historic feel to it as several of our party had been here before over the last couple of decades, would definitely return myself.

This place is a joke!

Seriously if you want a shocking evening meal and a rude customer service then this is the place for you. A colleague of mine was waiting 2 hours for his meal and when confronted the manager he was told they was out of steak and is there nothing else he likes off the menu. Seriously for a four star hotel it's a joke the rooms are OK but seriously go somewhere else as this is far from a four star hotel I would class it as a 2 star and thats being generous.

Sunday lunch simply dreadful

Under new management so hope it will improve. It is awful at the moment so I should give it a month. Soggy veg, tasteless food or salty and slow in coming. Used to be so good.

Came hungry left even hungry!! Not good at all

Ordered a 'special' red tai curry worth £20. Came in a tiny dish, rock hard microwaved rice, raw slimy prawns and a huge dollop of cheap curry sauce. Both soup starters we had came cold and one tasted as though it was drenched in Sambuca! Came hungry left hungry. Expected so much better from other reviews but wont be returning anytime soon! Awful

Really disappointing

Unfortunately we were really disappointed with the quality and service. The meals arrived promptly but both mine and my partner’s main course weren’t cooked properly. In my case the chips served with fish were under cooked and inedible. My partner ordered a mushroom sandwich was overcooked to a sloppy tasteless melee. Fish and chips is usually a pub food staple and whilst the fish served wasn’t as bad as the chips it wasn’t great either and it shouldn’t be so difficult to get right.

It’s not a cheap hotel but it felt like it.

We arrived into a dark, stuffy room with view from the window of the main busy road. The aircon was very poor, but opening the window to the sound of cars and Manchesters flight path of continuous planes wasn’t an option. I thought I would grab an extra pillow from the wardrobe - but to was stained and mouldy. I didn’t use the shower or bath - I honestly felt really quite uncomfortable and in the morning following breakfast I couldn’t wait to come home.

Disappointing once again

Alarm bells should have rung large sign outside advertising for chefs, service could not fault, starters pork pie and a garlic bread hot ok. Main courses not so good chips more like roast potatoes, cheese and onion pie Luke warm in middle very uninviting. ploughmans appeared to have been around a while ham dried up. Ham and eggs nothing special very salty.

Awful, depressing place - Avoid

Before I even arrived I had a bad experience with Victoria in reservations who was rude and unhelpful. My room (and the whole hotel) was tired and shabby. The spa was not clean and there were several drunks in the sauna etc. (one of whom said she worked there !). They were serving alcohol in glasses around the pool area. Breakfast was a disaster-with the fruit salad arriving after the cooked breakfasts...I could go on. ..suffice to say this is an awful place on the edge of an industrial estate.

Totally unacceptable

Called in for a drink 5pm. A group of I think regulars at the bar,one in particular tall,short grey hair and tattoos on both forearms never stopped fffing and blinding to the disgust of us and an elderly couple. Male member of staff behind the bar must have heard him and did nothing to tell him from using that language It's obvious they are regulars and think they can do want they want. Who wants to visit a pub and listen to the lowlife talk,I don't for sure.It needs addressing.

Family birthday

The staff were very helpful on arrival by holding the door open as some of our party had mobility issues. Very welcoming. Busy pub but staff very efficient without rushing guests to choose food or drink. Excellent food. Good sized portions. Had salmon and prawn cocktail. Duck chorizo salad and goats cheese parcel. Mains were beef and mushrooms pot pie and thai salmon salad. Very tasty.

Terrible Service

We tried to order food but was told they had stopped serving outside despite seeing people getting food. They were serving food inside though! This was only 18.15. Also they didn’t tell us before ordering drinks so we wasted £20 on drinks. Me and my baby came home with empty stomach. We will not be returning.

Not good at all

My family and I had a meal at the traders arms and it was a disappointment, after reading all the reviews we thought we would give it a go, but the food was awful and the service was even worse, won't be returning.
