The Vale Cottage

Bar Pub

👍👍 Excellent local pub. I've been coming to this pub since the mid to late 80's. It's a top quality traditional English pub that appeals to older clientele. This is not a place where you will be alongside a group of rowdy young people, it's just not that kind of place. It's a place to sit with friends... People often mention staff,

    Excellent local pub. I've been coming to this pub since the mid to late 80's. It's a top quality traditional English pub that appeals to older clientele. This is not a place where you will be alongside a group of rowdy young people, it's just not that kind of place. It's a place to sit with friends and have a good conversation over a few drinks. Once inside you could be forgiven for thinking that you are in a small village in the middle of nowhere, it's that kind of place.

    Such a lovely little pub, with exceptional staff. They catered for my Dad's funeral and I couldn't have asked for better service. The landlord was helpful and friendly. The buffet was lovely and the bar staff were so nice and kind and friendly. Thank you so much.

    Great little pub with one of the best beer gardens in the city. They offer a fine home cooked menu, one of the few pubs around you can get a meal at. They also appear in the CAMRA and are one of the few pubs in Gorton to do a range of beer.

👍👍 I was craving curry during my stay in Manchester. And Google suggested this place to me. It's in the centre, almost 6 minutes away from my hotel. The interior design is very hip and it has a great vibe. The music that is being played is modern. The curry was amazing. And the prices were perfect for...
