Although it is a nice space and the food was mostly good, There was an issue with the serving times. While I was visiting with some relatives, which we paid separately for the food, their meal came first, and my meal only came 30 minutes after because I asked one of the waiters to go and check it to which she replied : they are doing it now, so I am not sure if they started 20 minutes after everyone had been eating already or if they were in the process of making the food. This was more aggravating because my order included the kids meals that were quite hungry by then. I was very hungry as well, and when I went to the counter to ask what was going on, the meals came out at that same time and the guy that seem to be in charge, possibly a manager just dismissed my request for clarification with: the food is on the table now, without an apology for the inconvenience that the delay in serving the food and starting to make it caused. Comparatively to all the pub franchises that I’ve tried in the area and other places in the north-west. Joseph Holt pubs seen in general to be overpriced for the meals that they serve either way (pub classics cost £11-14, similar to restaurants in Royal Albert dock in Liverpool, but here you are in the outskirts of Manchester with no view and a heater melting your back), and this just cemented the lack of customer service and gusto in the food making. My gammon seems to be undercooked, maybe because it was made in a rush, but I could be wrong. So although the space and decoration are very nice and maybe if you just go for drinks this might be a great pub to go after you visited Heaton Park. For example, I can not recommend it for a meal with family.
