Lowes Arms in Denton

Went tonight as a family of 4. ordered a garlic bread to start £3.50 received one half of a small baguette, which was so small my 5 year old ate it to herself. I asked the kicthen staff if it was a child portion, and he was bemused and said 'no its a regular portion' For our mains we ordered we order sweet chilli chicken sizzler steak and ale pie with chips chicken burger and chips kids chicken nuggets chips and beans. Chicken Sizzer well there no was sizzle to start with, chicken came drenched in sweet chilli sauce no peppers or onions which I would have expected with a sizzler and the tortilla that came with it was stale. steak and ale pie Bland, no seasoning portion size was acceptable. chicken burger Brioche bun completely dry (no sauce ie mayo) just plain bun with what looked like a piece of the top had been picked off to remove something unsightly. Chicken came completely plain no seasoning just bare chicken breast. chicken nuggets and chips wish I ordered 4 of these instead. we decided to leave without complaining. However, upon arriving home, I couldn't leave it and went back to voice my disappointment with the shoddy meal! I spoke to the landlord who said the chicken burger is served that way because of allergies in any restaurant or pub its the norm to be asked about allergies when placing an order, we were not asked about allergies (we dont have any so no concern to us) but i feel this was just a quick off the cuff excuse from the landlord for extremely poor food, the landlord didnt have an excuse for the chicken sizzler that came without the sizzle! I was offered a voucher to eat there again. However, I would not step foot in this establishment again. When I first walked in, I was surprised on a Saturday to see that there was no one in eating. I certainly now know why.

Had Sunday dinner, food was bland, roast potatoes and boiled potatoes hard to cut gravy was like water. Meat wasn't tasty and was fatty with blood veins. Vegetables came in a separate bowl and was hard no gravy to cover them. Wouldn't go again.

We were walking as a family and decided to call in for a few drinks today. We walked in with our children and pup in the lounge area and as soon as we walked in and sat down a young lady came over asking us to go in the other room because we had a dog , a lady was sat at the bar with a dog the bar lady said “shes our regular”. We walked into the other room and then ordered drinks. We ordered a few pints, lime and soda and a couple of J20s for the children, the pint was put into a totally different glass other than what we asked and the lime and soda was flat. So I went back to the bar and asked for a change of drink and got the dirtiest look, the lady then said “what else do you want”, I replied with the “same drink but hopefully the soda is better”. She replaced my drink and then slammed it on the counter and walked away. We was going to eat here but we didn’t want to after the so called special treatment. Not only did we get pushed in another room even though there was dogs in the dining room we never got a service with a smile. We won’t be returning again talk about feel uncomfortable .

Pop in for some lunch on Sunday for catch up with a pal. Great local pub service good pub meals. Menue has a good wide choice. Venue is cosy and comfortable service is good and atmosphere is friendly. Large carpark and prices are reasonable. Definitely worth a visit every now and then.

I have visited here a few times throughout the last few months, been a great visit, welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. I visit with my close friends where we ordered cappuccino and soup of the day, it was lovely. The building is such a lovely place. Full of love and architecture. Great place to spend time and have a get together. Credit's to the team and management. Kind regards, Aaron
