The Marble Arch in Manchester

Worth walking the slight extra distance to get to. A gorgeous example of Victorian pub architecture. Staff know their beer and give good advice if you're after it. Lots of great Marble beers on tap. A roaring fire on a cold day. Lovely local, friendly feel.

Had heard this pub did good food, and it did not disappoint. Truly exceptional food, with the best gravy we'd all ever tasted (and we're no strangers to a gravy boat). Also lovely staff, and a brilliant selection of beers and ales. Well worth a visit

Went after Man City v Fulham a few weeks back and got there before the masses piled in. We were sat at a dainty little table near the bar, so we had prime pint access. Waiting on staff were superb, refilled our pints without us asking, beer was lovely. Also it must be added that my almost ancient Father reckons the Steak and Ale Pie on offer was the best he had ever had. High praise indeed. Sloping mosaic floors and tiled walls were the icing on the cake.

Popped to the Arch for a spot of lunch to take advantage of the Winter 50% off food offer. A couple of pints of top class cask beer, delicious food and above all the the most beautiful pub in Manchester. Brilliant.

Had a beautiful meal this evening, braised featherblade of beef, roasted veg and really flavoursome mushroom and port sauce. Service warm and efficient and 'COVID friendly'.

After a lovely history walk we ended it at the Marble arch. My mum wanted to go in as we have never been there before and been told lovely things about it. Well I wish we hadn't of bothered.As soon as we walked in a guy approached us aggressively saying where's your mask? Where's your mask? I was quite taken back and thought I'd missed a government rule in the past 2 hours. I tried to explain that I don't wear one, he grabbed the box of masks from the bar and offered me one (not in the nicest manner) I explained again. My mum politely got a mask. He then jumped back from me and again quite aggressively asked have we booked as there's no tables at the front so will have to go in the back. I said that was fine and we walked away, him then shouting about it being table service.We walked to the back of the pub but I then decided we wasn't staying in there after such a bad welcome and in front of other customers.I run a pub myself so I completely understand the stress were all under but I would never treat a customer that way.

Been coming to the Marble for over 20 years. I hadn't been for over 6 months, but very glad to find the beer on top form. I went to 3 other pubs that afternoon, all of them in the good beer guide, but the pint(s) I had in the Marble was by far the best. I also had fish and chips, which for £12 was excellent - decent size portion of fish, lovely batter, homemade tartar sauce. A top quality pub.

I've been to this pub a fair bit but never sampled the roast until last Sunday. We ordered lamb and a vegan roast, and both were the best we have had in our lives. I cannot begin to even describe how tasty this food was. My girlfriend said it was THE best vegan food she's ever had in a restaurant. The staff are also so welcoming and friendly. The delicious food in combination with the ebullient staff really made our day. Thanks guys!This is without a doubt a 10/10

Excellent food, though a bit pricey. When faced with a fussy eater, they made her a special meal that she was very happy with. Great beer, approved by my personal stout connoiseur. Recommended!

Lovely pub. Food excellent, quite gastro pubby. Service great. We sat outside in a little pod and felt very covid safe.
