The Metropolitan in Manchester

Almost forgot why I love this place. Didn't have a booking and they managed to fit us into the restaurant, even though it was very busy everywhere in the pub - rugby was on!Food was on point as always and the drinks were made with care. Nice to see a change in the menu with the classics still available , but they have removed the early dinner deal which is a shame

Beautifully decorated and clean, this pub manages to combine a modern and homely traditional feel. The food is very good, and the service quick and polite. I'd certainly recommend this place.

This is an absolutely lovely pub! Food is fantastic, especially the pizza after a few beers, great outdoor area. Came in for food on a couple of occasions and the restaurant manager has laboured the point on no dogs in the restaurant. Not sure what that was all about.

Very cosy, large gastro pub with great food. Outside pizza bar (fresh stone baked I believe) during summer. Tend to visit more for posh working lunches on the occasional weekday. Last visit was 3 course Christmas meal and it was beautiful with huge portions as always, not a negative comment from any of the team (16 of us) apart from we were all likely to fall asleep upon returning to work from being entirely stuffed from a great meal 😂. Looks an awesome place to spend a night with friends or family for an evening esp. with the covered outside dining area (heated/heaters too) but for me this venue is close to work, no where near home. Very attentive, polite and friendly staff. Good selection of drinks too. Would highly recommend to anyone who's not visited before as I've never had a bad experience in the 2 years + or so I've been eating here!

Incredible...had a mahusive to tasty fish pie to die for heaving with really good fish. Really seamless service. Would highly recommend!

Nice. V London. Little pretentious but pleasant. Decent staff, friendly with a relaxed albeit middle class vibe without being overly conservative. Nice architecture, design. Cocktails could be better. Good meeting point, good for groups also does food.

Enjoyed lunch at the Metropolitan today. Cosy Christmas atmosphere and very welcoming staff. Our waitress, Charlotte, was lovely! Good value food & nice coffee. Overall a great way to spend a couple of hours, plus it feels good to support a local hostelry during these difficult times.

We enjoyed a great Christmas lunch today at The Metropolitan, we had a traditional turkey dinner! The food was really good, hot and beautifully presented. We didn't think we'd be able to manage Christmas pudding, but somehow we managed to force it down !! A big "Thank you" to Mel and all the team for making it special.

Met my wife here when it was the Midland Hotel, in front of the wood fire. Now a big totally revamped pub from those days. Been going there for 50 years. Good substantial food served all day by competent staff. Large selection of wines and beers. Recently the brewery has taken back control with no visible change. Has become a bit of a meeting point for local young mothers and babies which can be off putting if you’re not a young mother (or a baby). Big outside and covered areas. Pizza oven outside. Near a tram stop. Wi-Fi

Delicious menu, lovely wine. Glad we popped in for some dinner. Good choice of gluten free and vegan options too! We had the large fish and chips, seafood pie, chicken gnocchi and a pizza. Lovely sorbet for desert. Always a fave 👍🏻👍🏻
