Walkabout - Manchester — Restaurant in Manchester

Almost empty restaraunt and were immediately told the combo meals were all out of stock. I ordered Frank Red hot wings and cheesy bacon fries. The cheese was sour tasting and the bacon tasted old. The wings were soo dry and old preheated with the tiniest of hot sauce splashed on top. I tried eating a couple of the more moist ones but gave up. They were visible dry but as I was hungry I tried to eat them. We called the manager over (Tony) who immediately had a defensive attitude and cut me off mid sentence arrogantly asking did I want a replacement. As it was clear these wings were days old I refused and went on to try to continue my sentence and he cuts me off for a second time asking me what I would like him to do in the most arrogant way. I should not have to tell you Tony how to do your job or make decisions for you. But if you'd like me to tell you what you should do... You should firstly have a better attitude towards your customers and be more apologetic. You should then talk to your kitchen staff about reheating old wings and throwing them in a tin and serving them as fresh. As a cook myself I know those wings were atleast 3 days old and refrigerated. I wish I had taken a photo. I will not be returning to your restaurant not because of the old chicken wings but because of Tony's arrogant and borderline threatening...

came on the 5th August (Wednesday) for an impromptu drink and bite to eat with my parter and son who all live in the same house. We had the walkabouts burger and drink deal for all 3 of us. Which came really quickly and was delicious. The waitress discounted our order in line with the governments 50%off scheme. We were all really impressed. Shoot forward less than a week to the 10th August (a monday). Where just me and my son ordered the same deal. This time no discount was added and dispite there only being 2 of us the bill came to more than it did when there was 3 people with alcholic drinks. I questioned this with staff to be told that the deals arent included in the 50%off and was refused a refund. Our food came and it was not good. The burger was sloppy and not good at all. Our visit was disappointing.

Its a shame they are inconsistent. Because i would have happily become a regular customer even after August when the government...

I Emailed in advance earlier in the week, asking if the Manchester Derby was on the TV in their venue, as I wanted to watch the game (as a neutral) with a couple of friends in their 60's who were Utd & City fans. They advised by email that the game was on and to book a table. Booked a table online - had to pay non-refundable £40, which is used as a bar tab.

Found out on arrival by friendly (??) bouncers that it's a Utd-only pub with no city fans allowed. Unfortunately, this was not mentioned when I emailed in advance or on the online booking system, which takes a non-refundable payment. Luckily, I messaged my friends who hadn't yet arrived and told them to tell a white lie to the bouncers!

The reserved table wasn't actually reserved. Instead, I was told to choose any available table. The game was then shown on a dodgy, buffering HD-IP channel??

So all in all a fairly poor afternoon out, and I wouldn't be rushing back to...
