The Barking Dog — Restaurant in Trafford

The Barking dog is a great pub. In an age where there are trendy bars and themed drinks outlets popping up , it’s so good to see a traditional style pub going strong . The beers are great, the staff are great and the welcome is always on point, you can tell that the owner cares. They put a real effort into entertainment and have all sorts going on to cover most interests. Quizzes , DJs and more . The food is lovely and cooked with care . I’ve got a gluten allergy and when I queried the food the waitress did a great job going through the options . Now I’ve worked in hospitality for a along time , mostly in kitchens and if I was ever asked about allergies, especially gluten I would always say that although many items were gluten free , we do prepare food with flour etc and there could be a small chance that some flour could fall or ‘drift’ into another dish. This is highly unlikely and also wouldn’t be an Amount that would cause a problem but better safe than sorry. If someone has a serious allergy their safety comes first . So I appreciated the staffs honesty in relation to this and I went ahead and enjoyed a great meal. The place is well maintained and cleaned. It’s got great ventilation and felt really airy, yet cosy. Well done guys , keep up the good work and see you for a beer soon. When is the bald DJ on next ? He is...

Appalling for allergies. Made to feel my medical condition was an inconvenience. I was told they couldn't guarantee any of the food was allergy safe as "its all prepared in the same kitchen". At least they are honest about their disregard for safety standards. in response to your reply

Both Boothroyd and I are making our first ever visit to this bar in an old Post Office building. A CAMRA Good Beer Guide pub three years running. 2022 to 24. Claim a CAMRA discount on beer. Four real ales and a real cider. Booth decided on a pint of Marble Brewery Pint. A 3.4% session bitter. Try a pint and pie for £10 when on special offer. Food on sale (pies..steak n ale, fish, curry pie etc.) and Sunday roasts. Super one room pub plus snug for hire with open air seating out front. Super find says Booth. Stayed for a 3 pie slider for £15 to share between us. Steak n ale, chicken n mushroom and chicken curry. We were not hungry until we smelt the gravy! Also had a pint of Dunham Massey Dark Mild at 3.8%. One small TV. Pipped music. Cocktails for £7.50. Popular with families. Some tables reserved. Pies excellent..and Booth knows a great pie! Toilets upstairs but also a ground floor...
