Owen's Kitchen & Bar in Urmston

You know, chatting about pubs like we're down at the local, I'd say Owen's Kitchen & Bar in Urmston is one of those hidden gems that really hits the mark for a great night out. The food's a standout – we're talking delicious British classics with a fresh twist, like their new summer menu full of vibrant plates such as Cheshire lamb rump or chilli beef samosas, and don't even get me started on those Sunday roasts that folks rave about; it's all hearty, flavoursome, and leaves you feeling chuffed. The service is spot on too, with staff who are genuinely attentive and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in, whether it's for brunch, cocktails, or a special do. The atmosphere's just right – relaxed and tastefully done, with options for outdoor seating when the weather plays ball. On the flip side, it's not smack in the city centre, so if you're coming from further afield, it might take a bit of effort to get there, and it does get buzzing, which means booking a table is probably a smart move to skip any waits. Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone after a proper British pub experience with a modern edge – honest, it's got that feel-good factor that makes you want to tell your mates about it.
