Pie & Ale

Went to watch the rugby here, had pie and ale. Best pies I've had in a long time too, brilliant food. I don't drink so I can't comment on the ale but nobody else was complaining. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, all nice and clean. Service was quick too. Would be great if they had more AF options but that's no different to anywhere else. Definitely going back.

Faultless, great ale selection and well kept, fantastic food, just the right level of ambience banging tunes, but not in your face, booths to hide in, immaculate toilets, friendly staff, without being over bearing. Seriously, couldn’t fault it -fab! Loaded nachos, pig in blanket hot dog and loaded roast potatoes with chilli were consumed with (we’re only staying for one!) 4 very decent pints of well kept ale. We will definitely be back well done guys. Keep it up. Front door hard to find, but I’m glad because once you find it, you won’t want to leave x

Wow !! We came here 12 pm Saturday lunchtime. The food is amazing. We got the Chicken pie with mash and stuffing and pigs in blankets large hotdog. Really fresh and tasty and if we lived nearby we would come here regularly. I was really surprised it was a bit quiet and cold when we visited but it deserves to be jammed. If you fancy hearty food you won't be disappointed.

Extraordinary pies! I was recommended this place and say down to a vegan 'mushroom and Guinness', which comes served with mash and gravy, plus a pint of guest ale. Pies are inherently good, but this was the best pie I've ever eaten! So delicious, and perfect with its side dishes. I was totally bowled over.

I recommend giving it a try. I did not expect a chicken pie to be like this! It is nice that the chicken is not coated by oily white source, but the chicken is marinaded. So far, the pies I had were all white cream with plain chicken, but this one is in a reverse way. They did well on the chicken meat. The pie wall was also hard enough that the juicy did not split everywhere. You can image the texture. Having such quality at the city center with this price is totally worth it. I put a 4 star here because the curry coat pie my wife had was not spicy enough, may be they remove the chill to address more customers. But I can smell they put good enough amout of spice there. The mash is also good. I can taste potato sweetness instead of loads of butter in other restaurants. The service there is friendly and quick.

I’ve come here with a very big group (60 plus) for an event after work. Very well organized and good food. The chicken wings were pretty terrible, but the nachos, the pies, the potatoes, the grilled cheese was awesome ❤️ Nice poured beer and a very good place and Environment. Come for a beer and pie ☺️ No idea on the prices, as the event was sponsored.

I haven't been in the Pie and Ale for about 4 months because I no longer work in central Manchester. It hasn't changed. Its still as good as ever. The staff are as friendly as ever and the pies are amazing. Continues to be a favourite and this is why I'm having my wedding reception here. Really good selection of craft beers at reasonable prices. The food is delicious and worth visiting for the pies alone.
