The Buck Inn Sale in Ashton

A good local pub, friendly atmosphere and busy on Saturday. Staff are quick to help with the parking system. Second time we've been in, one of the cheapest rounds in a long time too which makes it even better.

Great place for a camper stopover. Great atmosphere, delicious, well priced meals and friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommend it.

Been my local for 40 years. Can get a bit rowdy at times these days but never any trouble. Service is usually good and the prices are reasonable. Not eaten in here for a while but have eaten on many occasions and the food is always pretty good without being outstanding. I have never had a bad meal. It’s a locals pub, with most people knowing each other and that makes for a good atmosphere.

Went to the Buck with my friend last friday for lunch and can honestly say it was the worst pub lunch we've ever had in our life. We ordered a cottage pie and their special of beef stew, when it arrived the new potatoes served with the pie were rock hard (like they had never been cooked) and the stew tasted like the chef had dropped a box of pepper in it, it was that peppery it actually burnt your tongue (and my friend eats a lot of spicey food) if this wasnt bad enough the meat was awful, there were some chunks of meat and some thin slices but all of it was fatty with no flavour (it's like the chef had thrown in all the offcuts off any meat in the kitchen. As for the cottage pie, we struggled to find any meat! It was literally 90% potato with a tiny bit of mince at the bottom and had no flavour at all! I wanted to send it all back but my friend felt bad (I've no idea why because it wasn't edible) so we just sent the stew and the rock hard potatoes back and asked if we could pick something different. Im assuming it was the manager that came to our table and said very rudely well no-one else has had a problem with the food (which i found very hard to believe) he asked what we wanted instead so we chose the lasagne, big mistake, we both only had a mouthfull each as it tasted vile, like the meat was off, and unfortunately this was proven as both myself and my friend had a bad stomach the next day. I should have known something wasnt right when there wasnt a single other person eating on a friday lunchtime. I wouldn't step foot in this pub again if you paid me.

Lovely pub, found on the off chance early dinner, food was lovely and hot quality ingredients. Couldn’t fault staff friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. If visiting Manchester we would definitely visit this pub again.
