Called in last week after shopping and enjoyed a hearty supper! We usually pop in before moving on somewhere else or sit outside on a Sat afternoon if the weather is nice. But decided to stay and eat because we hadn't in a while and we were both ravenous. Loved the corn beef hash cake starter and followed it up... More

fantastic bar, fantastic food. pity they had to tarnish things with a service charge, i would have tipped anyway, but this does not lie well with me. tips should be discretionary. More

Just popped in for a drink before going elsewhere to eat, as it had been recommended as a good place for either. Glad we came, lovely traditional old pub with a great atmosphere, mixed clientele, decent-seeming bar staff. Couple of real ales on tap along with the usual lagers & guinness. The large framed monochrome photo's of noteworthy Mancunians hanging... More

i went early Feb with my wife for lunch. we were led to believe by the sandwich board outside the premises that a 2 course meal would be £10.00 each. we ordered drinks on arrival which we knew would be extra, but in for a shock when we get the bill. the food was very good and great if you... More

We went here on the recommendation of a friend, and thoroughly enjoyed our evening! The unpretentious food was faultless, just excellent ingredients beautifully cooked. I had blade of beef for my main course, a cut I'd never had before, and it was incredibly tasty and tender. I also recommend the bitter chocolate tart if you have room for pudding. A... More

I've never put a review on Tripadvisor but felt compelled after an astonishing incident at Mr Thomas's Chop House. The food was super as expected but the evening was marred by an incredibly rude waitress who launched into our party of six, when we arrived spot on 8.30pm for our booking with "we thought you weren't coming." We said our... More

This place comes highly recommended for food from what I've heard, and having had a drink in the tiny bar area in the past, I've often wondered what it would be like to eat here. I suspect my experience was a one off as most of my colleagues enjoyed the night, but I have been rather put off. The venue... More

I've been going to Mr Thomas' for lunch about twice a year for a long time now. We go entirely for the food although the small bar area is popular and the beer is good quality. As you can guess I'm a fan and would recommend to anyone who appreciates simple, high-quality food in characterful but under-stated surroundings. The service... More

I'm guessing without offence that people who rate this place as wonderful are on holiday from out of town. Don't get me wrong it's fine, with a pretty decent wine list and pretty good food, however there's something a little lacking. One of the waiters was rather surly however the others were great. Food pretty good, bangers and mash was... More
