The Bridge Inn in Trafford

This is a very nice and popular pub. The food is good but slightly more expensive than most. You can dine outside overlooking the Bridgewater canal and the inside decor is very tasteful. The only observation I would make is on the presentation of my dish. I ordered the haloumi burger with fries. That in itself was very tasty, but there was nothing else on the plate. I think a little salad garnish would have improved the look and enjoyment of the meal. A small change costing very little I would have thought.

No problem with the food, was actually very nice. However the staff (and in this instance the Manager) were rude and very abrupt. We sat at a table which apparently was reserved but didn't have a reserved sign on it. We were then told "you can't sit there, you'll have to find somewhere else." Equally while stood at the bar, I was told "you're not going to get served there" The Manager could of been much more courteous and helpful and explained "Sorry this table is reserved I'm afraid, however we have tables available on the terrace if you'd like to follow me, ill find you a suitable one", and "I'm afraid we don't serve from that area of the bar, if you'd like to move around to the other side you'll get served much quicker" Manners go a long way. Safe to say, I won't be returning anytime soon.

One of the best places you may visit if you come to Manchester!! 5 stars plates…

Very mixed reviews about this place. The good parts, the manager was very helpful and sorted some play mats out for the kids. Most of the staff were helpful Apart from one who seemed to be quite snappy with some of our party for whatever reason. They were either having a bad day or shouldn't work in hospitality. The chicken burgers were OK. The fish and chips were OK. The vegetarian pastry thing was below average. The actual pub it's self is in a lovely spot. We would return and give it another chance

Been coming here regularly since moving to the area a year ago. Great pub in a great location however the manager is so rude and needs to sort her attitude out. The past few times we've been she has been nothing but rude from the moment we walked in the door purely because its busy. The most recent time telling us we couldn't sit at the table we had walked over to because it was dining only, without asking us if we were even planning to eat or not. The place is very popular and gets very busy but there is no need to be so rude.

Nice sun trap! Plenty of outdoor space next to the canal - a couple of nice terraces - one for drinking, one for eating. Beer selection so so, but plenty of other drinks. Food was pretty good - I've never had the pleasure of a pizza from the 'hut' at the back though. The inside eating area has had a decent refurbishment since I went there last. Our waitress was fantastic. Would definitely recommend.

We have been before and had a very pleasant experience. But on this occasion we were quite disappointed. We both had roast beef and found it very tough. The rest of the meal was fine, but service was slow although pleasant when it came.

Great pub lunch of steak and chips (gluten free). I have not been in a while as there used to be very little GF food on the menu. I was pleased to find that there were a few more options this time. I had a really nice lunch.

Canal side pub that's perfect for a drink and some food. It's a gastropub with some strong food choices (burger is a great choice) alongside pizza choices. A lovely opportunity for a walk and very bright inside. The waffle is nice but not I suspect made to order.

First time here. Really nice vegan food I ordered. Mushroom something was not what I expected but was absolutely gorgeous. My only quibble is that it went cold quick and if it came out onto a hot plate that held the heat would be great. Ordered a Coke and was pleasantly surprised got a large coke that lasted and paper straws are always good for me, for our Planet.Staff were lovely and were really attentive and made sure we had everything.Knifes and forks and napkin came in the brown envelope on the photo so you know they are nice and clean and not been touched by loads of hands.Looks like a really fun place to be especially in the evening. We went in the day for lunch.Car park with lots of spaces but could be a little bigger as it seems it’s a popular place and doesn’t help when the people with larger expensive cars can’t drive them properly and can’t park in between 2 lines.
