Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Not been since last year, I’m afraid won’t be going back. 😔 Meal and service were below standard. Chilli was made with cheap I’m guessing frozen mince, not really a chilli very mild, also not very warm let alone hot. Salmon salad was tasteless, salmon...had no flavour, olives could have been pitted, whole meal drowning in oil that didn’t have any flavour. The place was very quiet, it never used to be!More

We won’t be returning under the new management sadly. The food is nowhere near to the standard of previous visits and is not value for money. One staff member was lovely, but one lady was rather rude even though they had messed up our order...that was pre booked and then checked on arrival. There were four errors in all, including the bill which did not show our deposit and a very long wait for food. Not once were any of our table of 8 asked if we wanted a drink the whole two or so hours we were there. We decided not to have dessert and left early.More

Had a great evening at The Midway in Stockport last night. The food was brilliant, very tasty, piping hot and good sized portions. Homely surroundings, comfortable seating and clean. The staff were very attentive, pleasant and cheerful .We will definitely be going back 👍.

The worst meal I have ever had never mind paid for. My wife had a chicken sandwich which comprised of raw chicken, two slabs of raw onion and regular bacon not rashers but breakfast Bacon so as you can imagine fat of which was rather...like sinue. Inedible fish which they have decided to die the batter with turmeric which gives the fish a paracetamol powdery flavour and reasonable chips. When I asked why the fish batter was yellow I was pretty much told to fool punters into believing it is better quality than it is. Staff disinterested from the outset far more interested in chatty to one another or eating themselves.More

After calling on the off chance a few months ago when we thoroughly enjoyed the Steak and Frites for lunch, we returned yesterday to try them again. We were served by Ange both times, who remembered us from the previous visit. She took our order...with a smile, and didn’t need to explain how the steak was served (which, as it is cooked French style, very thin with garlic) she normally does. The meal was served fairly quickly and was as good if not better than the previous time. The steak is battered and griddled with tons of garlic and the Parmesan fries are the perfect accompaniment - no condiments or accompaniments required. This was followed by the lightest, tastiest-home made tiramisu, that we have tasted. The chefs, we met Ivo yesterday, come across as very skilled with consistent qualities and we will be happy to taste more of their creations.More

Not as good as it was before it changed hands. Chips weren’t cooked properly, custard thin, generally an average meal. Which is a shame, as it used to be exceptional.

I had roast beef, it was melt in your mouth gorgeous, didn't need a knife to cut it. Enough veg, loads of potatoes and massive Yorkshire puddings, with plenty of gravy, delicious. Will be coming back
