The Salmon of Knowledge — Restaurant in Salford

I ate here with my family on Sunday 2nd December. I wasn’t impressed at how dirty the place was. It took a few minutes to find a table which had actually been cleared. After finding one and sitting down we noticed there were stains and drink marks on the table and rubbish around us on the floor. The table next to us had empty crisp packets and chewed straws on it. Waited to get someone’s attention as we needed a child seat but ended up getting our own as the staff were too busy talking to each other. We ordered food and drinks. One was a coke which they didn’t have. My partner got a Fanta instead which arrived with a fly in it and lipstick on the glass. This was replaced. The food arrived and my burger bun had clearly been microwaved and was hard at one end. My partners mac and cheese had no cheese on. When we asked someone about this they patronisingly said it came with cheese sauce not actual cheese. As we showed the member of staff there was no sauce whatsoever on it. It was completely tasteless. They took it away and offered a replacement but after waiting 10 minutes for it we went to the bar and had the meal refunded. Without a small child with us I’d have taken the time to take this up with the manager on site. All in all shocking. I get they arent trying to be artisan but the basics of cleanliness and service were completely absent . £20 I regret spending and I won’t be...

8 of us arrived this afternoon for a “Sunday Roast” lunch. We all ordered the Roast Chicken. What we received was far from that. First thing we all noticed was the transparency of the brown water on the plate, although the kitchen will tell you that it was the white wine chicken gravy!! A chef needs to know that this is Manchester, in the north. We do NOT have watery gravy!!! So, the rest of the lunch was hidden away underneath a large lovely Yorkshire pud. Ok this looked promising, right? Wrong! An anaemic piece of chicken breast, lay on top what can only be described as boiled cabbage and onion! At least that’s what it looked like. Next to that lay 2 of the thinnest, saddest carrots I’ve ever seen, 3 tiny broccoli florets the size of a 50p each, and 2 potatoes. Now these potatoes weren’t whole potatoes, no!! These potatoes were 2 halves of a potato. Doesn’t sound good does it reader. And it wasn’t! Tried to cut into the chicken and it bounced! It was as if the chicken had been boiled and then put in the oven to dry out. Now we’d all paid £12 each for the privilege of this meal. And I can honestly say it’s the worst meal I’ve ever eaten. I am giving this warning to anyone else, to not eat ANY food from here. It’s...

Had a day off from work so had a trip over to media city fancied something to eat & drink and their it was the place that I was going to have my lunch in . The Dockyard . As an Industrial feel to it with an old school look when it comes to the the chairs / wooden tools .this is a great place very spacious inside but also outside in them summer months just people watching or if your lucky the odd celebrity walking by the prices are not bad remember you are in media city so expect to pay about 5 pound for a drink. I did have a bite to eat and opted for the Dockyard Club bit like a ( BLT ) you get it with fries .But have to say I was disappointed . I paid 11 pound for my lunch but I found it had very little taste and the biggest disappointment was the cheap bread they used ( Try Warburtos ). Bit of a let down when the meal was nothing special needs work . but over all the staff are friendly and welcoming and it's in a great location with a good choice of drinks. will I go back absolutely for drinks not for the food sadly. but I had a great Afternoon its a wonderful place to stop At . Thanks to the staff for being...
