Very good experience.Food was very good and staff were friendly and attentive.Good atmosphere with no blaring music so one could hold a conversation without shouting.Overall,very good.
There is great selection of pies and the one I choose was really tasty. Also there is a good range of real ales. The service was of a good standard too.
The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The place got a wee bit noisy occasionally and the food took a while to arrive but neither of these things ruined a very fine meal and a nice evening.
Great selection of pies and beers. Food is great especially love the sweet potato wedges! Service is friendly and welcoming. Fond of the atmosphere here. Highly recommended.
It was just as stated. Really nice pies with crunchy homemade pastry, with several vegan and gluten free options. I will surely go back! :)
The pies and mashed potato portions were huge but delicious. Would have been nice to have some refreshing vegetables. Staff were very friendly and I would definitely return. An excellent winter retreat.
We have been here 3 times now. The food is good, very hot. The service is great the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Nice relaxed atmosphere. We enjoyed it.
Great service. Had to wait a little while for the food but well worth it the pies were yummy. Real ale and fab selection of gins we will definitely be returning.
Pie was not made fresh and took a chain saw to cut it, although inside the pie was really nice. Would not not go back.
Quality pies and good value real ales. Over 8 different flavour pies to choose from. Great value with January offer and Tuesday discount on beers.
everything was great, just a bit cold and draughty, as we were sat in front of on of the doors. Maybe you old need to use one door on cold days?
We all loved our pies--really bloody tasty--and the staff were very friendly, but they were a bit understaffed so the service was a bit slow.
Unbelievably nice pies that are really well sized and worth every penny. Really happy I found the place. The staff are really friendly too, definitely worth a visit!
Staff were lovely, food wasn't quick coming out but was very good. Enjoyed our meal their a lot. If anything could be improved I would say choice of desserts (only 1 choice). But otherwise no complaints :) Good vegan options too.
great food but service a little slow, we had to wait nearly 45 minutes for our main course to arrive. Good selection of beers and spirits.
The place in Manchester to go for great pies and ale!
Great food, good atmosphere, attentive staff. The pies were all fantastic. Portions are big - I couldn’t finish mine. Will definitely be returning! Lots of choice too.
Fantastic food with a great menu. Staff were friendly and helpful. Just about child friendly but you can hear some language from the pub part. Table next to loos not great but will definitely return.
The staff were friendly and helpful, but the meal came out cold the 1st time after we had waited 30 mins then another 20 mins later for it to be rectified... it was still not as hot as it should have been. The pie (I had venison and Stilton my husband had steak and yippee pie ale) was really good but the mash and gravy lukewarm. I was looking forward to this evening out so I felt a bit disappointed. Staff were apologetic and quite rushed off their feet. They were very busy with an NFL game so I will try again, hopefully they won’t be as busy and the meal won’t be cold.
Ottima esperienza presso Pie & Ale. Ci sono ritornata a distanza di un anno perché mi sono trovata molto bene. Ottimi Pie e scelta di birre. Locale molto accogliente
Visited with friends. Good food and great service. Would definately visit again if in the area. Left feeling full and happy - needed a lie down afterwards 😊
Very enjoyable restaurant - food was great, wide variety of beers and ales on tap. Atmosphere was lively, but not so loud you couldn’t hear one another. Great location in the northern quarter, very close to other bars for after.
helpful and friendly staff. great beer and food.good choice for vegetarian and vegan. cosy venue with snugs and a nice bar area. thoroughly recommend this place.
First time here, couldn't have had a better experience. The food was pretty incredible; quality way above anything I was expecting. Staff super friendly. Great atmosphere. Will be back!
great ale & great pies! (does exactly what it says on the tin!) with a good choice of both Oh; and the staff are great too. :)
Great pies, good beer and friendly service: what more could you want? Not only had a GF pie for me (preferable to order 2 days in advance to be certain of availability) but even advised on choice of GF beers available too.
Quick and friendly service. The pie was fantastic and the food area of the restaurant had a good, relaxing atmosphere. Had a great evening and would definately recommend to friends!
Very good pies, had to wait 40 mins but real ales on offer made the wait enjoyable! Good choices on the menu. Would definetely visit again soon.
Great food and excellent service. The pie had lots of filling and the mash was gorgeous! Defo recommend the dirty mash! Will be coming back soon.
Lovely evening. Oven was broken (which cannot be helped), but still had a wonderful meal - offered to relocated us to the sister restaurant across the road, but we decided to stay. Brought the pies in from the kitchen across road and couldn't recommend any more. Fantastic food and great value for money
Have been here several times already and it was always great - both the food and the service! very great for vegetarians and vegans as well :)
The staff were very friendly, helpful and professional. The food was scrummy and we will be back. They even stored my daughters push bike safely.
After numerous changes of plan, unfortunately we had to cancel at the very last moment. The staff were very friendly, sympathetic and tried everything they could to accommodate are situation. They fully understood. Great customer service; hopefully the food matched that quality.
Fabulous pies and really good beer selection. The staff were excellent and all our party of 8 thought Pie and Ale was a place well worth a revisit as a party
Always quirky, tasty and fulfilling. Wholeheartedly recommended. On your own, as a pair or in a group of friends - it's worth a visit weekday or weekend.
Nice evening. Food was great and a good selection of ales. The only fault was we would have preferred to have not been on the higher level.
Great service and great food. The atmosphere is really relaxed and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Highly recommended if you like pie. I will be back
What's better than the humble pie with mash and gravy? ...great selection of tasty pies and very tasty beers! ...and the legend that is... Dirty Mash!
Beer was excellent; service was great, attentive and jocular. Pies were good and varied but the crusts were very solid. Overall experience was really enjoyable,
Brilliant pies, brilliant atmosphere and brilliant staff. Pies chock full of filling and absolutely stunning ales to go with! Went with family and definitely will be going back soon!!
Always great for freshly-made pies with interesting fillings, delicious mash and peas and a wide selection of craft ales. Was a little bit quiet on a weekday lunchtime, but that's no bad thing as we were served quite quickly. Highly recommended.
Good atmosphere, good food and ale what more could you ask for? Large portions and very tasty. Well worth a visit! Give it a go you will not be disappointed.
Freshly made pies and a great choice of real ales. Really like this place and in a great part of the city centre must try the Sundsy special.
Great food , friendly staff , reasonably priced , nice surroundings. I will definitely be returning and recommend the Steak pie and potato wedges which were lovely.
No steak and ale pie :( which was such a shame as my favourite....but otherwise was a lovely meal as always! Will be back again!
This is a great place to try, lively buzzing atmosphere and great food and drinks. The staff are really helpful and there's some live music too - one to try !
Delicious food, great service. We had the lamb pie and the steak and ale pie, both were really tasty. Dirty mash definitely worth a taste!
We've been to Pie and Ale a few times now and always been impressed. The food is wonderful, there's plenty of option and it we all enjoyed what we had. Although this trip we did have a rather long wait for the food even though they weren't too busy which is why I've not given full marks. The main reason we chose Pie and Ale is because they always serve a vegan option so as well as the rest of the group enjoying themselves I loved that it was easy for me to find something to eat too. None of us were happy they charge extra to swap mash fir wedges though, as the pies are already charged a decent amount. The atmosphere is really friendly and laid back and the staff all seem happy and will do whatever they can to help you. Would highly recommend!
Superb food, beer and service - Pie and Ale is possibly my new favourite place to eat in Manchester. Food served quickly and is a genuine taste sensation.
Such tasty food but service was very slow and mushy peas were stone cold. Highly recommend the gammon and cheddar pie if you do go!
