    Been here on multiple occasions whilst visiting my brother in chorlton green. Food is great. I usually have the shrimp cocktail and salad. I previously had a veggie curry that came with cauliflower rice and this was a refreshing change as I don’t eat things with high carbs. Service friendly and dogs are welcomed.

    Lovely place to visit, staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to help you with whatever you need. There is a lovely outdoor seating area both open and shaded which is perfect for this sunny weather! Very dog friendly also, with water available for your furry best friend. The menu is delicious and I cannot recommend their ketchup enough! Thank you to the team at the Horse &Jockey, we will be seeing you again!

    Sunday Roast was huge and very good value. They were super busy and firstly told us that they weren’t taking any orders for an hour, but then we saw people ordering before then which was a bit annoying. But we ordered after them and food came relatively quickly.

    Beautiful pub located in a quiet area. Drinks are well priced, and food looks nice. Unfortunately, I wasn't eating but what I saw looked nice. The only downside was the parking, it was the 1st time there and wasn't sure where to park.

    Friendly and professional staff. Nice and clean areas including tables. Lighting on some tables could be a little brighter at the back. The food was 'ok'. Toilets clean and well kept. Dog friendly. Parking is tight around the area. Outside seating area with patio heaters.

    Love this place, typical pub grub but sitting outside overlooking Chorlton green feeling like your not in Manchester is amazing. Plus really good prices and great staff

    Good food, excellent service, and a nice place where a group of friends can meet up. The gentlemen in our group enjoyed the choice of beers. I wear a hearing aid that tends to pick up the needless music slightly louder than the conversation of the people I am meeting. The staff kindly turned the music speaker off in the room we were in at lunchtime this week. Excellent. The large choice of vegetarian meals at the top of the menu was encouraging. Many pubs have one vegetarian meal at the bottom of the menu.

    Good service, friendly staff and tasty food (although the chips could have been tastier. Wexford chicken recommended. Dog friendly and provided water bowl and treats which went down well.

    I came here tonight and the food was amazing everything was beautiful. We were served by Jamie who made us feel so welcome and was brilliant at his job, what a nice young man

    This used to be a good old fashioned Robinson's pub, the trendy location and customer base have turned it into something that blends in with the posher (and costlier!) establishments in the area, but it is a nice place.

  • 1/5 susan h. 6 months ago on Google
    Went for Sunday roast about 7pm. Bar service was good (if you just want a drink) but otherwise don’t bother. Waited over an hour for food to then be given a cold roast dinner, half a Yorkshire pudding because they’d run out; compensated by an extra slice of cold fatty meat. The veg was cold the potatoes were frozen. The steak was cold - as if it had been sat waiting to be served. We did mention to one of the staff who mumbled something. And then we left. Shame cos it was busy and we had hoped for better.

    Quiet time when we arrived, we just missed the crowds inside, although outside was full. Food arrived hot and tasty. Would recommend 👌

    Beautiful pub! Decor is great. Staff are second to none. Food was amazing and lots of it!! Such a welcoming place.

  • 5/5 Vivien C. 7 months ago on Google
    A delightful meal, a refreshingly short menu with an excellent ballance of flavours. We used to go in the H&J years ago when it was a pub. To go in again was to recapture our youth. The staff were charming and the background music was all hits from the eighties. Brilliant.

    Nice well kept pub with lovely external flower display. Good range of beers. Didn't eat there but the food looked good. Dog friendly inside and out

  • 5/5 Melissa H. 1 year ago on Google
    Waitress was polite and helpful. They have a new menu so she was great with answering any questions we had. Food was delicious ;)

  • 4/5 Peter A. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice place with outdoor seating and some parking. Mind you head inside as very low beams but really nice!! Staff are friendly and serve quickly. No Guinness but they have a substitute

    This is our favourite pub in the whole of Manchester. Not only is it children and Dog friendly it serves the of the best Sunday roast lunch offering. The pub is very family friendly and it has a nice homely vibe. The service is excellent too My favourite meal is the fish and chips. The fish is fresh and flakes off. Problem is my children eat 3/4 of the fish before I can even begin 😂

    Nice pub, visiting for the second time -> had the crayfish & avocado cocktail and the steak & ale pie... Really good

    Had a really nice lunch here this week, my first visit to the pub. The food was great and portion sizes very generous. Staff were all really friendly.

    First visited the H&J in 1990. It has changed a lot since then… but, I still love it! Warm seats outside and very friendly inside .

  • 5/5 Brendan C. 1 year ago on Google
    Really great pub with a great vibe, kind barstaff, and dog friendly. The food’s great, I only wish we had planned to sit down to eat properly. We only had a couple of bites to eat and what we did have were pretty good. The Lancashire cheese sauce with the pulled beef brisket toastie wasn’t cheesy enough in my opinion. There could have been a bit more bread with the bread and olives, considering how much oil was served. I would visit again and again, if nothing else than to try the rest of their amazing menu. They also had some live music on in the afternoon which was a great treat!

    We arrived at 2pm for our booking, 2 children and 4 adults. My children are 6 and 9 and we were asked if we needed high chairs! Everything went downhill from there. We waited 1 hour for our starter, even though the restaurant wasn’t busy. The waiter then dropped it on the floor. Our main arrived an hour later after asking twice. However, they couldn’t handle more than 2 meals at a time so half of us had finished by the time the last 2 plates arrived. We were offered a 15% discount and free dessert to make up for it. When we tried to order dessert only 2 of the 6 options were available. When we tried to pay they didn’t have enough reception on the card reader to take our payment. It was a total shambles. It was nearly 5 pm by the time we left. To make it worse the food wasn’t even that nice and was totally overpriced even with the discount.

    Nice pub in Chorlton, went for Christmas drinks and food with friends. Wasn't too busy even on a Friday night, but would recommend booking if you're a big group. A few people ordered food and said it was OK. I ordered the cheesecake dessert which wasn't that great unfortunately. Service was amazing though, wait staff were very friendly and attentive and came to check on us often. Would probably come again but just for drinks next time.

    Lovely old fashioned style pub with a friendly atmosphere, quality draught beers and wholesome tasty food. The waitress Katrina was very friendly, attentive and chatty and her English speaking very good despite only being in the country two years.

  • 4/5 Barney S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great pies, service and my stickies toffee pudding was really tasty. Place was nearly empty and cold. We could understand this because of the cost of heating, but still not good to sit in a cold room. Our cheese and potatoes pie was 5 star. Very good pastry tasty cheese.

  • 5/5 K O. 1 year ago on Google
    Great and friendly service on the day, but I went on to accidentally leave a favourite doggy toy behind. The team were really kind in looking around for the toy, checking with the cleaning team and then calling me back a week later when it appeared in a doggy bowl. You don’t expect the best reaction when you call up with something as “silly” as this, and so it genuinely means a lot. Thank you!!

    Lovely surroundings, it's difficult to find pubs with old worldly feels around Chorlton. Very cosy, staff are super friendly and the food and drinks options are varied and traditional. One of my favourite pubs in Manchester, especially Chorlton.

  • 4/5 Andrew R. 1 year ago on Google
    We didn't eat there, but it has a nice outside area, and a good vibe. The staff were friendly, and helpful. An enjoyable evening.

  • 5/5 Jasmine S. 1 year ago on Google
    We love coming to the horse and jockey and welcoming the new menu with open arms!! The bloody Mary ketchup is INCREDIBLE!!!!! Shiv is always super friendly and welcoming, she is very informative and always has a smile on her face! We look forward to coming back again

  • 5/5 Caroline M. 1 year ago on Google
    We went here to celebrate a relatives 90th birthday. Wow the food was amazing great choice on menu and as it was a Sunday there was a choice of Roast too The service was exceptional. We were served by a lovely young lady called Shiv and a very pleasant guy called Dan. We had a great time and would recommend this place for food and drinks Thanks for a wonderful time

    Sunday lunch 5/12/21. The beef was so tough I could hardly cut it. The cabbage was watery and the rest of the food was cold. They were out of Yorkshire Puddings but didn't give any discount for this. I complained about the beef but the waitress just gave me a blank stare. The change of ownership seems to have signalled a severe drop in the quality of the food

    Good position on Chorlton Green. Beloved of dogs and their minders. And lots of very young children. You can get served, if you are patient. But I won’t stop going, Food and drink fine, but a bit restricted in choice. New visit 2022. Great improvement! Good friendly attentive service. Improved menu. Good selection of wines now. Previous visit it was very busy, this visit nice and quiet. Very relaxing
