The Fletcher Moss — Restaurant in Manchester

Can be full of awful students on the weekend in fancy dress doing the didsbury dozen.

Separate rooms without TVs if you don't want to watch the football/whatever else, but plenty of space round back with big screens if you do.

Basically, just a good,...

Called in today, after waiting 10 mins for service. Manager wasn’t willing to take order said waitress would be over.

Other people arrived and she decided to serve them before us, who had been seated for 15 mins by then. Would I recommend .. Definitely Not. They obviously don’t want new people to visit just their regulars .. after being closed for a long time thought any customers would be made welcome .. but not at this pub. We won’t be visiting again for a very long time. We went elsewhere and they were happy to serve us unlike...
