Bent Brook in Sale

Ah, Bent Brook in Urmston – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a reliable old mate, you know? From what I've gathered from folks' experiences, the staff really shine through with their warm, attentive service that makes you want to linger a bit longer over your meal. The food's a proper highlight too; think hearty, flame-grilled dishes with big portions that hit the spot, whether it's a steak pie or some tasty burgers, and it's all at prices that won't leave you shocked at the end. It's got that family-oriented charm with a dedicated area for kids, so it's brilliant if you're popping in with the family or just after a relaxed evening watching the big sports events like the Women's Euros or the Lions tour. On the flip side, it's a tad let down by the cask ale – only one option available sometimes, and it doesn't always live up to expectations, which is a shame for us ale enthusiasts. All in all, it's a solid choice for a budget-friendly night out in Manchester, with plenty of positives that outweigh the minor niggles, so I'd say give it a go if you're in the area.
