Metropolitan West Didsbury

Love this place: superb location and excellent cask ales and grub. One gripe, it has new owners and decor but alas fewer cask ales and veggie options than when I visited last. Still, stunning!

Fantastic bar, can't wait to go back. I wasn't at many West Didsbury places, but this is a really nice building; very modern inside still has the character of its original properties. The staff and the service were excellent.

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 View menu

This pub is beautifully decorated and impeccably clean, striking a lovely balance between a modern vibe and cozy traditional charm. The food is excellent, and the service is quick and courteous. I would definitely recommend this place!

Great pub, great food. Great times. Visited her for the first time this week and was welcomed like a member of the Colin family and his team. Has luck with the weather and sat outside with the family around a beautiful fire. Too bad I don't live any closer, otherwise it would be my new place!. Will definitely be back!

I nearly forgot why I adore this place. Even without a reservation, they were able to accommodate us despite the bustling atmosphere of the Rugby pub! As always, the food was spot on and the drinks were well taken care of. It was great to see a new menu, while still keeping the classics available. However, it's unfortunate that they've removed the early dinner deal. View menu

Disappointing. Been many times for drinks and the odd meal, it’s a great, grand pub, but their Sunday Roast was just disappointing. Service was slow, food had that tough texture like it’d been sat under a lamp for half an hour. Just generally a bit bland. Same goes for dessert. Had to ask for cutlery for the mains and desserts too. Will be back for drinks no problem, but will be giving food a miss. Plenty of other great places nearby.

We had a great start with prompt and friendly service. The food was tasty, but the portions were small. However, things took a turn after we finished our meals and desserts when we wanted to order drinks. There was no one available to help us. When two servers finally showed up, they ignored us and wouldn’t make eye contact. After waiting a while, I had to approach one of them to ask for tea. Unfortunately, there was more waiting involved! We sat down at 12:30, and by the time we left at 3:00, we were left feeling disappointed and frustrated.

As a family of four, we like to visit fairly often. Don 't review much but as locals felt we should, and also our meal receipt says they are welcoming reviews. The menu and staff have changed, again. Fewer vegetarian options, even more limited children 's options it is a condensed version of the adult menu. We were drawn in by the Sunday roast board and free top ups of roasties and yorkies , however, when asked about the free top ups the staff did not know anything about it, nor the board it was written on outside of the building, and we were told we would pay for extras. Staff nice enough, but £40 later for two mains and 3 sides and a bottle of fizzy water and no top ups! The Met may be hin... View menu
