Lovely pub & place to stay. Perfect base for north Manc. We came up for a concert at Heaton Park, arrived late, changed bookings a few times & the service was exceptional throughout. We were made welcome, never rushed, & treat with respect & attention, but never bothered too much. They also booked us taxis too & from the gig, which turned out to be an absolute result. As anyone who has ever been to a huge open air gig will know, the drop off & extraction can be a complete pain in the backside. Wendy booked us a minibus there & back & were home within an hour of the music stopping, beer in hand. I'd recommend a stay at the Reed if you're not looking for glam but something solid & definitely northern. Manchester's for the tourists & Hilton crowd, but if you're looking for something a bit more authentically northern, with all the hospitality that goes with it, go to The Reed.

same as before not much to say bout this pub same crowd and bar staff very slow waited nearly 10 minutes as she spoke to a customer good pint of bitter for price but atmosphere is dead landlord landlady watched as i waited for pint outside smoking
