Turned up here 6pm on a Sunday night after being turned away from the nearby Airport pub due to having a dog. The gentleman on the car park at the Airport pub informed us this was a sister pub located round the corner that is dog friendly. It is and they do. So the dog, son, and me flopped down in a pleasant beer garden. I paid £26 for pie & chips, a kids meal of fish fingers chips and peas, a fruit shoot and bottle cider. Sounds expensive, and whilst not outrageous, would describe it as pricey for what it is. Was told there was a 40 minute wait for food but it turned up comfortably under that. Portions were generous, food cooked and presented nicely. Pie crust a little overdone although if its not freshly made pastry, it was as good as can be expected. Filling was stewed a little too long, couldn't really taste the ale. It was okay. I don't expect fresh pastry at these prices but I do expect a little more overall quality. It was a well kept beer garden and there was a nice atmosphere, staff were attentive and polite, despite being patently quite busy. Every now and again an airplane whizzed by on its way to landing on the runway a few hundred metres away. Enjoyable and the only complaint is nothing to do with the pub, rather the chain smokers who puffed away clouds of smoke that enveloped me and my three year old son as we ate. Our clothes stink of smoke the day after. It was only this that made us leave as quickly as we did and not hang around for another pint. Sorry if this sounds a little unenthusiastic, it's a nice pub with a well kept beer garden with lawns and excellent range of beers on tap. There's a nice atmosphere in the pub and the planes landing a nice twist. The weather was good. The prices and food only being okay at that price are all that sullied it for me. I would go back, I'd try something else.

The staff are very friendly and do a great job. £5.20 a pint is daylight robbery and the food portions are abysmally bad. Handful of cheap fries, tiny piece of bread and a chicken skewer for £16. If I wasn't out with the fiance's family, I would have sent the plate back and refused to pay. Not often I leave somewhere hungry after spending that much on a plate of food. The portions are like starters, if you are hungry you will be upset when they bring you your main meal here.

We stopped here for an early dinner after visiting National Trust Quarry Bank on the way home from a mini break. We enjoyed a tasty meal here, there were a couple of issues but not enough to mark down too much or put us off returning if we were ever in the area again. The food itself was all delicious and presented beautifully. We had 2 starters (black pudding and the cauliflower fritters) which were both incredible. The cauliflower in particular was spectacular! All 4 of us had a main meal however my partner was served the wrong pie although he decided not to wait for a replacement as we all already had our food (he didnt want to wait for a replacement to be cooked and us all have finished or have cold food) and the pie he was served was still really nice. Our only comment for improvement here would be for staff to write down the orders as our waitress didnt write down when we were ordering which resulted in the wrong pie being put through the till - it did make us nervous at the time as in our experience when wait staff are trying to remember everything and not write it down, things often go wrong. Thankfully this time around the error was pretty tasty so the dissapointment was offset! We then ordered 2 desserts, the giant choux and the loaded meringue which were tasty and looked amazing. The meringue however could be refined a little; it was HUGE, enormous, massive. Not necessarily a bad thing but it was over cooked and because of it's size there was nowhere near enough cream/icecream/fruit served with it so the contrast was all out of proportion. It was delicious however would have been more enjoyable had it been a little smaller, cooked a little less so it was soft in the middle and served with a proportional amount of the accompaniments. In saying that i still thoroughly enjoyed it and sent back an empty bowl! The restaurant area is very nice, peaceful and has lovley decor and atmosphere, comfy seats and spacious tables. We sat in a booth seat in the back with a great view of the airplanes landing at Manchester Airport. All the staff are friendly and polite and you can see that its a place loved by locals and visitors alike. Overall we had an enjoyable meal here and with a few tweaks this could be a 5 star worthy restaurant, it definitely has the potential.

Visited on Sunday afternoon at 4pm for a family Sunday lunch before flying from the airport. This use to be a great friendly local pub with open fires and decent food, now it's been rebranded as a "Gastro Pub" as a marketing excuse for poor quality food. We were met by stressed and aburpt staff shouting at a long queue of customers that it would be a 45 min to one hour wait for food. We had no problem with this as the food (used to be) great and we had plenty of time. I think the pictures speak for themselves, a half empty plate with a couple of slices of chicken, 3 undercooked potatoes and 20 peas all covered in half a pint of boiling hot gravy to try and conceal the empty space. No Yorkshire pudding, no parsnips, minimal about of veg, all very underwhelming for the money we paid. Paid £38 for 2 Sunday lunches and two small draught cokes.

We reserved our table online which was easy and straight forward. Our first time here and most definitely not our last. The atmosphere was busy yet calm and pleasant, very homey. The food was delicious. Cooked to perfection. I had a Beef Sunday dinner which was perfect. Kidd had chicken stripes and a burger. The chicken is of good quality and tasty. Reasonably priced, bit more than your local pub. The staff were also extremely polite and helpful. Great visit 👌

Stopped off here for a light lunch and some plane spotting. The restaurant itself was immaculate and had very friendly staff, we ended up sitting outside and the staff were still just as attentive. Great selection of drinks at the bar and menu with a wide variety food (recommended the crispy beef noodles)

Been past many times visiting the airport runway, always wanted to give it a try and finally got the chance. A welcoming pub with wooden floors throughout, well laid out and nice decor. Choice of main menu and roast dinners on a Sunday, good portions and steaming hot food. Staff were nice and catered for our table very well with 2 kids, would highly recommend.

We read reviews before we booked as we were travelling to Manchester airport and staying in the Premier Inn for our holiday. We took our two sons at 6pm on a Saturday and the food was divine! Service was perfect and the pub inside and out is beautiful 😍 It was so good, when we returned to Manchester airport on the Wednesday afternoon, we popped back into the Tatton Arms with our boys for another meal. I had the steak pie this time and it did not disappoint! We only wished it was on our doorstep (West Yorkshire!!). Our eldest does like to visit the airport though yo view the planes so I'm sure we do that more often just to visit the pub for our food. As we left on the Saturday night, a plane flew rught above us in the car park and our eldest loved it. It timed just right as he's an avid airplane fan! Our son had the burger twice as he said its the best he's ever had! Our youngest had good old bangers and mash both times.

Always like to come here for a meal when staying at premier Inn Heald Green prior to taking a flight, much better to come here than the beefeater next to the premier Inn, food and service very good as ever at the Tatton Arms excellent pint(s) of Robinson Unicorn - look forward to visiting again thanks ps steak and ale pie lovely.

The refurbishment was long overdue and it looks really good. Staff all friendly and pleasant. The food was tasty - chips were particularly good. Both drinks and food are expensive. On the slight downside, despite having a hot drink brought to the table and staff passing by, the plates were not cleared away after we had finished. The staff seemed more interested on fussing the dogs on other tables. Also it is now very echoey inside so it is quite difficult to hear. Would be quite challenging for people with hearing difficulties. Seems to be the way alot of pubs are nowadays. All that being said, would definitely return.

Superb. Visited a few weeks back on business at short notice, called at 7.25pm to book a table for 7.30, arrived and had my food - starter and main - deleted by 8pm. Also lucked out that by ordering on a Tuesdya I got the fish and chips on special rate. Venue was comfortable, plenty of parking and staff were great. Would definitely return.

Had a meal there today. Food was superb. Nicest meal all year. The pubs been done up, it looks very nice. But it does look like any other generic pub, it has lost a lot of character, although decor and food was nice.

Really lovely visit in December 2022 for the Christmas lunch with my partner. The pub is run by Robinson Brewery, so a great pint. The refurbishment was excellent and a real difference to the previous look, although that was nice and cosy too. The open fire is a great additional in the winter months. Food lovely, server really lovely and attentive (didn’t get his name) Overall a lovely afternoon out and we will be returning in early 2023.

Stopped off for a quick meal with the family on the way home. Didn't book ahead but got a table by the window watching planes land. Service friendly and quick. Food was amazing and lots of choice on the menu. Highly Recommend

Food and atmosphere were great. Staff are friendly. No coffees after the meal was a disappointment as 'it hsd been cleaned' but still enjoyed our evening. Definitely need more staff.

We love this pub. We went on bank holiday Monday for a nice lunch and so my son ( and us) could watch the planes ✈️ take off from the airport. My only complain was that it was extremely busy so good did take a long time to come and then unfortunately was cold when it came ( though tasted lovely). I’m sure this was only because they were so stretched on the day but just feel they would have benefitted from a few extra staff on the day to help support. We will definitely be coming back though.

Amazing food. I mean REALLY GOOD. Friendly staff and great beer. Perfect for a Sunday lunch. The weather helps, sitting outside watching the planes overhead. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area. We will be back asap.

Lovely pub l, lovely staff, lovely atmosphere but were disappointed with 2 of our 3 meals, which is a shame. Steak pie had a lot of fatty meat in it, not as tasty as I’ve had here before and the veg was almost raw. The hunters chicken was dry but there were plenty of chips. Burger and chips was good according to my son. The meringue was huge but would have been way better with less meringue and more ice cream.

Just been for anniversary meal ,really really busy ,but lovely pub .food was excellent, not bad price, great atmosphere and staff nice. definitely worth a visit, nice outside area.

Dinner was delicious. Haven't been in for a while and ordered 4 roasts. Staff member asked if we'd like Yorkshire pudding which we all did. After receiving bill I noticed that there was a charge of £4 for the Yorkshires. Was not told of this extra cost and think it's the first time we've ever had to pay extra for the Yorkshires. Come on this is part of a roast and should come as standard. Paid the bill as didn't want to ruin the lovely day we'd had.

Absolutely beautiful place to visit. Lunch time leaving party , booked for 6 but turned up with 12 and everything was perfect. They moved tables for us, food was hot , large and tasty. Not expensive for what we had. Lovely staff and couldnt ask for more . We will return no doubt about that :-)

Lovely quaint pub and the tattooed bar maid was really friendly and welcoming. We had to sit in the back of the pub as the restaurant was full. We ordered a beef roast, chicken roast and fish/chips. We had to wait a good 40 minutes for the good to arrive which we weren't advised of any delays. The bed dinner came with a colossal Yorkshire pudding which disintegrated into dust when you tried to cook it, it was so so dry. The beef looked like sandwich meat which wasn't night. The chicken, cauliflower cheese and cabbage with bacon was really lovely thank goodness. That was it though, 2 small roast on each plate, microwaved mash and a very small portion of veg. Only 1 floret of broccoli?? The fish and chips were almost cremated!! The better was so dark and over cooked. The chips were like they were reheated from the night before and again were so dry and unappealing. My son was gutted. Over all really, really let down. There only seemed 3 staff working front of house and i wouldn't be surprised that's why our food was so late coming out. Would not visited again or recommend I'm afraid

Very pleasant experience with nice staff and great food. If I had to be picky, I would have to say that the portion of chips on my meal seemed a bit on the small side, but other than that the food was beautiful and nicely presented. Unfortunately they were short staffed on our visit (1 chef), but despite this they did a great job regardless. So, If you are looking for a nice country styled pub & restaurant near to Manchester Airport, then this is worth a visit.

Quaint English pub close to Manchester airport. Reasonably good menu of pub food, beers and ales with a nice outdoor garden setting and generous indoor seating. The fish and chips was good and the curry sauce dip gave it an interesting twist to the taste. Service was pleasant and quick.

Nice pub, nice food, tuna mayo sandwich and chips. Staff friendly and helpful.

Love it here, great food, great prices and lovely friendly staff. Highly recommend

Poor food. Feel pressured to drink eat leave!

great food, you dont leave hungry! staff are attentive. good range of drinks on offer - great beer garden.

Fantastic Sunday roast. Good choice of drinks. Staff are so friendly and genuinely enjoy working there. Nothing is too much trouble.

Stopped by on way to airport yesterday and was very pleasantly surprised, it was a very welcoming place and we were greeted by friendly staff who accommodated all our requests, the food was fantastic and the guiness was spot on, I will definitely stop by again when near Manchester airport.

Found this by accident when picking my son up from the airport and was avoiding the charges at the airport. He walked here and we went in for Sunday lunch. Not a cheap place, but omg the food was gorgeous. We both had Sunday lunches. The rosemary and garlic roast potatoes were possibly the best I've ever eaten. My chicken and stuffing lunch was £13.50, his honey roast ham was £14.50. We shared a huge Yorkshire pudding that was £1 extra but plenty big enough to share. There was plenty of lovely gravy no need to ask for more but if desired we could've. We will definitely come back again when picking family members up from the airport. Four stars as the price for 4 of us with drinks wasn't far off £100, but if you want a real treat while catching up on holiday adventures this is a great place to do so.

Lovely place, excellent food, although menu is slightly limited right now. Great little pub restaurant. One of our meals was missed off the order but was brought out eventually, just meant 3 of us had nearly finished before the 4th got dinner but the food was lovely and worth the wait.

Great food. No complaints whatsoever. Mum and brother in law had the gammon. Me and sister the pie. Tim the waiter was fantastic. My mum 81 thoroughly enjoyed the day. See you next time.

Was a nice visit. I just think that here could be more done with this traditional old Pub…. There are fields around and a large space for maybe a play area or something? I just know that less than a mile away the Airport Pub was packed, and even though the airport is a niche establishment the Tatton is a nicer place.

A nice place to wait for the flight to come in , dog friendly with some nice local atmosphere. Beer although well looked after seemed a tad pricey. Food availible although I did not try any.

Went for a business lunch I went for a business lunch, the service was quick and the food was tastey with decent size portions 2 in the group had the fish finger sandwich and chips which was nice. To drink it was paddy’s day so Guinness was the only choice, it had been kept ok. Good view of incoming flights from the back restaurant

Went in on reopening day in September after refurbishment. Enjoyed a great lunch, dessert and nice beer. Great service and the new look interior looks fab. Well done.

Popped in for an impromptu Sunday lunch. Place looks amazing after the recent renovations. Great to see the restaurant fully booked in these times, sat in the bar and had a fantastic beef roast. The staff were amazing and looked after us so well. Look forward to going back when next in the area.

Brilliant local pub that has recently been refurbished and has excellent food. Highly recommended. The bar and table staff are superb and you’re always made to feel welcome. Summer consistently ensures that every need is catered for 👍👍

What a beautiful transformation! We were pleasantly greeted and seated in the restaurant area which was a pleasant surprise to the new layout. We didn't wait too long and our meals were of a decent portion size, piping hot and very tasty. Pictured are two of the meals, the gammon steak and the vegetarian pie (which were very tasty!) the other two meals were the burger options but I didn't manage to get a picture. We also were able to choose from potatoes, chunky chips, the pineapple changed to another egg... Would definitely recommend and will definitely make a revisit.
