Spread Eagle - Stockport

While B&Bing in the area to drop a friend off the following day Sunday) at Manchester Airport we called in here after a local recommendation from someone at the nearby Dobbies garden centre. Had not booked but Trisha on the desk was really friendly and helpful and found us a table coming free after about a half hour wait. Had drinks in the bar area poor really as small and only high stools at a few tables). We were shown to a table in the ‘veranda extension’ area and very pleasant it was too only 2 tables there and a bit quieter than the main areas). Atmosphere in the pub is lovely, as was the service . Decided to have the Carvery and very nice £13). Note that a 10% service charge is made on your bill but the waitresses look to work really hard, remaining pleasant etc….so please accept it you can have it removed if you want but that would be a shame on you). We even gave the two girls who served us an extra tip.

Everything is good. Lovely atmosphere. Friendly (and pretty) staff. Foods are presented very nice. I ordered battered fish for my son and the battered layer is thin and crispy. It’s really amazing. We definitely will come again.

Called at the spread eagle for a quick drink after picking my wife up from work with our two small dogs, We were told after we asked about dogs, don’t block the entrance, don’t let them sit on the seats and be out by seven by a girl who was not young and not a uniformed girl, so probably one of the managers Maybe you should put all that on the boards outside to save the staff time explaining We felt totally unwelcome, so got one drink and sat outside, all the seats in that area are stools so they couldn’t sit on them anyway. Maybe you should put dogs but not friendly.

Excellent stopover on a Saturday evening great menu and substantial meal which was fantastic value and pleasant character of pub and loads of parking

Delicious food and amazing service. Extremely tentative to children and were just amazing
