Shakespeare — Restaurant in Manchester

★★★★★ | Fantastic food at the pub – the Shakespeare Cheese Bacon is a must-try

I didn’t expect to eat so well at a pub, but this place truly exceeded my expectations. The food was excellent from start to finish.

The Shakespeare Cheese Bacon Burger was without a doubt the highlight of the meal. The patty was cooked perfectly – juicy on the inside with a beautiful sear on the outside. The combination of creamy melted cheese, crispy bacon, and a soft, fresh bun was simply spot-on. The flavors balanced each other perfectly without being overpowering.

The fries on the side were golden and crispy, served with mayo that clearly had some thought put into it. Even the small details – like the lightly toasted bun and the fresh toppings – showed real care from the kitchen.

The atmosphere in the pub was cozy, the service friendly and efficient, and the food arrived right on time.

In short: if you're looking for a seriously good burger in a relaxed setting, the Cheese Bacon is absolutely worth trying. Five stars, no doubt – I’ll definitely be...

Visited Thursday afternoon (28/10/21) ordered lunch for 5 of us same table but 3 paying separate,first order came out with extra sandwich which was not ordered, bar person young girl dark hair was very abrupt,about extra sandwich being our fault when she fetched chips she litterally threw them on table,second order she sent other bar person (which we think was new to job/bar she was very nice)then third order new (we think) bar person fetched it,with extra toastie,which we didn't order. She just took back no problem, we then thought we had been over charged as 2 extra meals fetched then shall we say grumpy bar person fetched a refund for 1 toastie n chips. She had calmed down by this point but other customers had noticed the rudeness and spoke to us about her. But food was nice and we had a great afternoon...

Absolutely Superb. Very reasonable prices indeed given that it has an absolutely prime location. If you want cheaper prices go to a run down areas pub - they dont have the understandably huge overheads of The excellently run Shakespeare. The Restaurant Food is absolutely superb. And the price of just £7-50 ( 2 at £15) for such succulent, quality combined with the very good and friendly service is Second to.none. - Quality well kept hand pump and other beers - with choices for the knowledgable ale drinker. Management top rank. Corteous, polite, discrete and has excellent empathy with the myriad of characters and demographics who use pubs. And what a superb ambience this generates. If you are looking for a "Proper" pub- look no further....it is THE Best I have ever experienced in recent years- and by a...
