    Came in today for some snacks after a walk round Worsley. First let me say…. The staff in here never disappoint they’re so welcoming to both me and my children every time I come in. The foods lovely as always, service can’t be faulted. Sat with the children and they come over to see if they’d like any colours and stuff. They speak to you in a friendly manner and the whole atmosphere is so relaxed it’s just a good vibe. We only had snacks today but we often visit and I’ve never had an issue with food. Because my daughter wanted some of the nachos but doesn’t like the sauces they even delivered them separate and then only put cheese on half of them for us - nothings too much trouble. Can’t wait to visit again for a roast!!

    Went for the breakfast with Santa, and found ourselves very disappointed. Thankfully our little one is only 3 so he enjoyed it but it was a very poor effort. Start time was 10am, we wrongly assumed we’d be able to go in a little earlier, which wasn’t an issue, however doors opened between 5 and 10 minutes after this time and we were stood outside in the cold with 2 young children. No one showed us how the morning was supposed to go (I.e. which menu, how to order, do you go to Santa or do you get called forward) so just went in and had to work it all out ourselves. Food and drinks ordered, we received the wrong drinks and when I flagged this the lady was a bit rude telling me that she said which drink she brought to the table (I had ordered but wasn’t there when it came) and asked if we wanted it correcting. Food came and we received an adult portion for the kids breakfast (even though I was clear it was the kids portion we wanted), thankfully our little one managed to eat most of it but I’d rather he got an actual child portion. When I worked everything out at the end (no receipt given) I’d been charged for the wrong drinks (more expensive but no refund of over charge offered) and the adult breakfast so it looks like the person taking the order wasn’t paying attention (no question raised as to the 3 adult breakfasts at a children’s event). We had almost finished eating before Santa even turned up and this was hands down the worst looking Santa I have ever seen! Nice enough guy but it’s like the North Pole were busy so they ordered this one from Wish. The guy was nice enough but he hadn’t shaved his black stubble which was poorly obscured by what was essentially a sheet of white felt. It looked like it had been either made by kids at a primary school or bought at a (really) cheap fancy dress shop, I’m surprised my 3 year old bought it! The icing on the cake was when he got a drink, and the (only) elf - who’s outfit was a much better quality by the way - stood in front of him, while lifted the sheet of felt beard to take a sip. Thankfully my little one was facing the other way so no illusions shattered this time. There was no organisation on visiting Santa, anyone could have walked in and got a free gift and a chat with the man. The gift bag wasn’t too bad, though maybe next time remove the £1.99 B&M sticker from the toys. The food was ok, pretty much as expected although some temperatures a bit inconsistent (i.e. cold beans, warm sausages). We ordered extra toast which after a fair while, we had to get up to ask where it was (came out straight away but unsurprisingly, cold). In summary, this was an awful experience, though thankfully (and somehow) my 3 year old seemed to enjoy it (though that could have been the enormous portion of breakfast waffles he’d wolfed down).

    [22/7/23] So The Barton Arms has re-opened after the latest refurbishment. Outside a fresh coat of paint in subtle calming colours, nothing gaudy here. Inside sees more paint, carpet and revitalised hard flooring. All very nice without making too much of a statement that sometimes divides opinion. For the price point the food is OK, no Michelin Stars but good for a bite after work or on a weekend.

    Not a bad place, the nicer of the chain pubs in the area. Their craft beer selection isn't good though, not the place to go if you're looking for more modern beer flavours. The food was nice, the staff friendly and helpful and they have an indoor dog friendly seating area

    Bit disappointed. The 3 stars are really for the staff that were working they were pleasant and friendly and we were greated with a nice welcoming smile. We got seated at a table and noticed how the walls looked quite grubby and in need of a freshen up. Then my wife spotted what appeared to be a snail trail underneath the table. I alerted the barman and he moved us to another table and very promptly cleaned it up. I ordered the mixed grill, my wife had the beef lasagne and we ordered a child's pizza with no sides for my 2 year old daughter. My daughters pizza looked like it had been sat out for a while with the cheese a bit congealed. The meat in my mixed grill was nice flavoursome but not overly hot. The chips mushrooms and tomato were quite cold. My wife's lasagne looked like it was a re-heat job and didn't appear fresh. We left most of our mains. Didn't really want to complain to the nice staff so just paid and left. Unsure if since its become dog friendly standards of cleanliness have dropped.

    A pleasant pub with some outdoor seating. Quite large inside and also a large car park. Smartphone quiz on Tuesdays which is pretty good. Good selection of ales and lagers on draught. Never had food in here so can't comment but seems a standard pub menu. Drinks prices were on the cheaper side.

    Great boozer, that’s what it is a boozer serving great food with a smile. It’s not the Ritz but unfortunately surrounded by snobby people that want Michelin menu on pocket money prices with a red carpet to boot. You will always get what you order, well made and hot from the kitchen, when it’s ready. If your in a rush try MacDonalds, if you want caviar go to town but whatever you do don’t try and change the best boozer in the area. If your trying the lunch menu, vegi or not try the spinach and lean pie it’s brilliant. Also they are taking COVID serious with greetings at the door and taking your number unlike places just over the road, assuming your patient enough.

    My family and I have just been for a lovely meal here. The rib-eye steak was perfect and delicious, the entire meal was excellent. There were 6 of us and I can honestly say, we all thought everything was spot on. The staff were friendly, helpful and professional. Definitely worth a visit. We'll 100% be going again. Thank you to all the staff for such a lovely evening.

    A really good dog friendly pub just off the Bridgewater canal footpath. They've only recently (july 2020) become dog friendly and so far I'd say they're doing an excellent job. They didn't have 'Doggy Diners' when we went, but we spoke to staff about them and they said they'd be interested in providing them in future depending on how many people asked for them. Dogs are allowed inside as well as at the tables outside, which means you're OK if you set off in sunshine n get caught out by traditional English weather. My partner had a wrap, which she felt was a little bit small, and I had a BLT. We both found the food excellent, well cooked and served by nice friendly staff. It was our first visit to this particular pub and we parked in the road outside but there is a good sized carpark. We will definitely be making the Barton Arms a regular stop when we walk along the Bridgewater foothpath. Water bowls are located inside and out so your pup can have a drink while you enjoy a cold one.

    Love the pub great staff. manager looks after it well but am really surprised staff arent wearing masks and no screens at bar although they take details on arrival of customers even though staff dont protect customers.Very un nerving Dog friendly pub but tonight they didnt stay in dog area allowed to roam throughout the pub which shouldn't be allowed Ben approached my daughter and said "this is a dog friendly pub" .That is irrelevant ,they should be in the set area .Not all customers want dogs near them and are allergic and frightened of them for whatever reason.A noisy group swearing and loudly having fun but loud was in tonight and no one asked them to be quieter even after hour and half when we asked.

    I like the Barton Arms and have been there a few times. Nice menu and the food is mostly good. Staff are nice and its not over priced.

  • 1/5 Tracy M. 3 years ago on Google
    On Sunday 20th Sept on a lovely sunny day. Me and my family. 5 children 2 adults and our dog decided to have a nice drink. We stopped at Barton arms Worsley, where we have been on numerous of times. We sat outside in a corner and no one was inside or outside. My husband got told they could not serve us, as we are a family of 7. The bar tender approached his manager and he said the same. My husband said we will split on 2 tables but they said no. Barton. Government rules no. 2/10

  • 2/5 carol k. 3 years ago on Google
    looking forward to a bit of normality eating out however covid 19 still out there and fully expected some safety measures to be put in place. Greeted by a lovely chap who did not wear any PPE. No social distancing with him. No staff wearing masks or face shields and waiter leaning over us at a distance of a few inches At queue point for ordering places identified as to where to stand and people told after ordering to walk round the other side but lots of people not doing so Food wise. Nachos starter mostly inedible as not cooked and sour cream appeared off — waiter not interested My steak was more gristle than meat. Everything else ok. Still giving literally a teaspoon of mushy peas in a tiny pot —. must be on ration !

  • 1/5 Derek C. 3 years ago on Google
    Called in today, , and after signing my life away, I ordered a whisky & dry ginger & a pint of Doombar (the only real ale option). Unfortunately, halfway through the pump ran dry. No other option, only lager or cider. Not good enough Barton Arms. Not every body drinks lager!. Unfortunately I'd already been charged so will have wait for a refund. No problem up the road at the John Gilbert, nice pint of Greene King IPA.

    Meat was a little over done and wrong sauce brought which wasn't noticed until it was on the steak but price wise not to bad.

  • 5/5 Chris O. 4 years ago on Google

    Nice pint and good food

  • 5/5 Lisa C. 3 years ago on Google
    Easy to book online, Wait time wasn't long, was straight in and seated. Friendly, helpful staff. Really compliant to Covid-19 health & Safety regulations!! Lovely and clean with rules and regulations in place to stick to social distancing, i felt very safe and in good hands. Had the option to order from the table using the app or at the bar. The app is so simple, really easy to use and then a staff member came to let us know when the carvery was ready for us, again obiding to social distancing. Shield between customer and carvery with staff members plating up your food, very hygienic and i personally think it's a great idea to have the staff do it! Even without Covid-19 regulations. Still had a huge portion size, they weren't stingey with it and everything was hot and fresh and delicious. The cakeaway is something else!! HUGE piece of cake for a cheap price. I was shocked with how big it was, really good and tasty. Going to make it our regular Sunday spot i think! Thank you for a lovely meal and experience😊

    Never a complaint. Lovely service from walking through the door to heading home. A young girl called Danny served us today with a friendly smile and very helpful and chatty. NOTHING to much trouble for her. Thanks Danny. The carvery was very tasty as always.

  • 5/5 Christopher D. 3 years ago on Google
    Food and service amazing as always. The new sprinkle cake was so nice, would definitely recommend! We couldn’t fit anymore in but they all looked amazing! - See you soon guys!

  • 5/5 Mathew N. 6 years ago on Google
    Great place to get together and stuff your face, and not spend a fortune. Seriously, they are not stingy with the portions here!

  • 1/5 Susan 3 years ago on Google
    We had previously booked by phone. When we arrived we were told there was no booking. Instead of being welcomed, the staff immediately argued with us. The rules had changed so they said someone should have been in touch with us. That hadn't happened but not surprising if no one had recorded our booking. The service was slow. We had to ask twice where some of our orders were. We ordered by the app as it was their preferred option. A member of staff came to take our order and went off in a huff because we had ordered by app. Salad was uneatable. Definitely wouldn't go there again.

  • 5/5 Jo F. 3 years ago on Google
    Very welcoming on the door, efficiently shown to table and advised about procedures. Very customer friendly app, acceptable food waiting time. Food very good, staff very friendly, will definately go again and considering booking for Christmas.

  • 2/5 Jaydan W. 3 years ago on Google
    Left feeling very disappointed - the extra star on the basis of the woman with blonde hair who was more than polite with us. Waited thirty minutes for a table which we were more than happy to do, only to be met with the information that both the carvery and other menu options were unavailable- something we were only told after having already waited for the table. We had ordered two drinks to an outside table we had waited at, a coke and a pint, only the coke came and the pint which I had already paid for via the app never made an appearance. Enjoy the four quid for the pint 👍🏻

  • 5/5 KURT C. 3 years ago on Google
    Due to current restrictions it is table service where we was served by Danielle who was very helpful and friendly. We booked our table in advance which was ready on arrival. The food was nice and will be returning.

    First visit to applewood and i didnt realise it was a greene king as visited one last week and that was dire too,but we thought we would give it a go, ordered 4 carvery's the gammon and beef were full of fat and the beef was chewy and had the veins running through it to, the sprouts were water logged,nothing really to be happy about and wont be visiting or recommending any greene king again, Toby far better.

    Disappointed with the Sunday calvary the meat was cut so thin and not even a full slice when i queried this a woman look my plate away with food on it into the kitchen and returned and ordered the guy cutting the meat to put another slice on it my plate had now been passed around between 3 people not acceptable at this time of a pandemic. Will not be returning i dont mind paying for a decent meal but we seem to be paying for a plate vegetables with the smallest piece of beef etc.

    Visited on Monday, early evening time and it was very quiet. And I liked that. Chose a 3 course meal from their menu offer and didn't regret it. Seating area is very clean and comfortable, made it a nice pass by time. Cosy decor, yet spacious areas. Would visit again.

    It's a long time since we had been here, as it's not a local pub for us, but the food, service and prices were excellent, we couldnt believe the size of the fish for the price paid.Staff were very friendly, Jonathan was a dream to deal with. Thanks all, it was well worth the 40 mile round trip for this visit, we hope to be back again soon. Wendy

  • 5/5 Rob W. 2 years ago on Google
    Brilliant, helpful staff who went the extra mile to make a very memorable special day. We booked here for a group of around 30 for a celebration. The staff sectioned off part of the pub, decorated for us and were very welcoming. The food was high quality and exactly as pre-ordered. There was no waiting between courses and every last minute little extra was done for us without hesitation. I cannot commend the staff enough. We dealt with multiple people before and on the day and each helped to make it a wonderful day for everyone. We'd give them more than 5 stars if it were possible. Thank you.

    First time in the Barton Arms with my family and my dog.. amazing service from the moment we arrived.. the staff were so friendly and welcoming and the locals equally so. Food was so nice and great value. Will definitely be going again

  • 2/5 Beryl W. 2 years ago on Google
    We love the Barton and have been drinking and dining there for over 10 years. Over the last few years it appears to be declining. Young college boys seem to run the place, much to its detriment, whilst the much older manager prances around looking busy. Maybe it’s time he retired?

  • 1/5 Alex 2 years ago on Google
    I was waiting to be served right behind the guy who was being served at the counter. Then all of the sudden the employee goes to another counter and serves another customer who came way after me and never came back to serve me even though he clearly knew I was waiting for him. Such a rude guy.

  • 1/5 Nicola L. 2 years ago on Google
    Thought we’d nip in here as the queue for chippy was out the door. Ordered breaded mushrooms, never seen or tasted ones like it before. They had even cut them in half to save some money. Burger arrived and I asked if they could replace my warm, limp, brown side salad and hats off to them they did, just with more of the same! Treacle sponge was decent though, surprisingly light. Next time I’ll get in the queue for the chippy

    I love egg & chips as much as the next man or woman but it's pretty much the only vegetarian wheat-free option on the main menu. But.... the GF Salted caramel millionaire's gold bar is fantastic!

    Quite disappointed, ordered 2 sirloin steaks, totally different in appearance and also ordered 2 peppercorn sauce, only 1 arrived also ordered rack of ribs came out has 2 small single pieces off meat, never had or seen ribs like this...cheese garlic bread came out near end off the meal, no matter how many times we tried to get things rectified to no joy, poor waitress couldn't apologise enough poor kid...where we were sat asked to be moved, 2 families with rowdy children not babies/toddlers 8/9 year old running around swearing at around 7.15pm.. if asked would we visit again, I would say not.. daughter took myself and husband for a surprise meal so didn't want to make a fuss

  • 1/5 Jason S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very disappointing. I had fish & chips here today & the chips were awful (like thick oven chips). The salt cellar was congealed & totally bunged up, so I had to remove the lid to get anything out! All in all not a very pleasant experience & I will be in no hurry to return, let alone order any food.

  • 5/5 Jade S. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited Manchester with my family recently, travelled from Birmingham so first time visiting the pub. Staff were so welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Food was lovely too we all really enjoyed it. Reasonably priced both food and drinks. Would highly recommend for all ages and would also definitely return on our next visit to Manchester.

    Went here about 3.30 fir some late lunch. Plenty of parking, wasn't too busy. Food was really nice, I had the carbonara and my friend had the French dip burger. Reasonable price and food came out quick. Had strongbow dark fruits on draft to drink.

    Been here several times and each time it’s been top notch. The staff are friendly and helpful. Good portions of food, tasty, love the burger with dipping gravy. We enjoy the relaxed atmosphere in here and the lovely surroundings.

    I went to this restaurant on Tuesday with my Mum and her brother and sister. We all greatly enjoyed our visit to this place because the food was plentiful (we all chose completely different items from the menu), the ambiance was very pleasant and the staff were extremely helpful and polite. We would be highly likely to go there again and would highly recommend this place to anyone.

    Group of twenty three. Most of the group enjoyed their meal, but had no cutlery had to ask, hunters chicken was over cooked, had no spoons for coffees and tea, had to ask for napkins. Have been there in the past and no problems, seems groups maybe to much

    I can’t believe the change at this establishment in a matter of a few weeks. They now have a range of cask ales that will appease most pallets and all of a high standard. Thanks Mark. The food we had was of a good standard and lovely and hot and served on warm plates. Keep up the great work.

    Great food and good choice of non alcoholic drinks, too. Service with a smile goes a long way. Only given 4stars as the place looks tired inside and out needs a revamp. All in all a great landing spot.

    I would recommend this place for - family, groups and a more mature audience. Disabled friendly. Dog friendly. Quiet atmosphere during lunch time. It's in a good location with onsite parking. The menu is British/ pub grub. Staff were good with allergies. Good verity of drinks. Nice location when the sun is out.

    The food was all very delicious. We had starters, mains, and desserts. The only thing I would say is that the lamb koftas (starter) I had were quite small for the price. Other than this, it was all reasonably priced and good value for money.

    Food not value for money. Vegetarian burgers are shocking. You pay over £10 for a burger and salad and according to the menu chips are included ,however when you get your meal they are not apparently they are done in separate oil! Ordered from phone via table as recommended .Waitress said maybe they should change it , but noticed another review the same a few weeks back so obviously didn’t take that feedback on board . Wouldn’t recommend this place Thank you for your reply ,although I don’t think you will take notice of the feedback to be honest as this was mentioned in review a couple of months ago ,so no point emailing you. As stated the review it was orders on the phone as you recommend this so no option to swap salad for chips. May be you should put this option when you order by phone .

    I take issue when vegan burgers are treated differently to meat ones - as in "no, you have to pay for chips with a vegan burger"! Not bloody likely. What a cheek! I got a reply trying to justify the separate charge - makes things worse.

    Great atmosphere, good food, friendly staff. Ordering on the app caused a 30 minute delay on just our drinks, another member of our party ordered at the same time on the app and had finished their mains by the time we received our drinks, after we received our mains. This was down to a mistake by staff, yet when I questioned the wait on the drinks I was told by member of staff he will sort it, on 2 occasions. This did not get sorted until I had to go and wait at the bar for a third time and speak to another member of staff. Quite irritating when get ignored for a simple request and the staff member carries on serving at the bar making drinks for other orders. Unfortunately this has put us off returning, however, I do believe it was a one off mistake. The pub is very nice, food was very nice as were all other members of staff, just one member didn't seem too bothered about helping with our drinks. When ordering on the app, it asks if you would like the starters with the mains or as a starter. I did select with the mains however these were brought out as starters so the app may need attention? Again, food was good, not a long wait despite being quite busy. But the issue with the drinks, it's understandable mistakes do happen, this could have been resolved when I questioned the staff, instead of seemingly being fobbed off ruined our visit. Not sure if it's because I'm not a regular but it did indeed ruin our visit and so will not be returning any time soon.

    Pleasantly surprised as this was our 1st visit. Very clean was my initial impression, good and polite service too. Excellent food and good value for money. We will be visiting again. Sorry about the mess my 2 small grandkids left!

    Tends to attract a strange mix of clientel. A lot of inverted snobbery depending on time of day. Staff are friendly. Food is okay but it lacks any real atmosphere. Great to have near the worsley canal where walkers and cyclists can stop off for refreshments Its just reopened after a fresh lick of paint. Its kept its low key appearance & not gone overboard. Its not the sort of place one would find a jumping Jukebox.

    The refurbishment has made the place look even better than it used to. Food was as good as ever but the service was a tad slow. Maybe have more staff on at busy times as it seemed there weren’t enough.

    Lovely place to meet friends, staff lovely and efficient. All 5 of our group really enjoyed our meals, and we all had different dishes, so that's saying something. Nice surroundings and decor. Highly recommend a visit here.

    Had a lovely crispy chilli chicken chiabatta for lunch. Really nice atmosphere and the staff were really friendly. Also loved that they have a special 'doggie menu' just inside the door with things like sausage or chicken for 99p.

    We had to wait an hour from receiving our starters to our main course. I appreciated it was busy but this was too long. The veg wasn’t cooked properly and the roast dinners only had two roast potatoes. We had to wait a further 30 minutes for desserts. No apology or anything I would not recommend the Barton arms to anybody wanting a Sunday lunch.

  • 3/5 Michael M. 5 months ago on Google
    My issue was with the waiting times we had. When we walked in it took ages to be seated, and was pointless making the reservation as nobody paid attention to it. Service was slow on the main meals and then it was almost as if we were forgotten - ages for the plates to be cleared and I had to chase my dessert (which was ordered with the main). We also asked for the starter to come with the mains. It didn’t. However the meal and food itself was lovely with a nice setting.

    Booked here last minute for somewhere to eat before a heading to the airport the next day. Service was a little slow for a Friday night, it was quite full when we arrived and only one person seemed to be service the food. Took over 2 hours even with the starters arriving with the mains (we asked for it). Food was mainly good, the dipping burger was delicious and the gravy it came with, although my friends said his steak was very very dry. Would go again but would plan to make a night of it and avoid the steak haha
