Outside the front of the Reed is a part paved and part grass covered beer garden that houses a few picnic tables. During a recent Monday evening visit this area was being used by the adults whilst their children enjoyed the delights of the karaoke which was playing at an ear-splitting volume in a “disco” area to the left of the entrance. To the right of the entrance is a small seating area where a few aged folk were settled. Behind the bar is a pool table and beyond is a sunken conservatory with seating. Plasma screens for showing live sport are located throughout and live music/karaoke is advertised for Friday and Saturday nights, I bet it gets very lively.
A standard keg range is available from the bar that also supports two hand pumps that were drawing Wells Bombardier and Wainwright. Food is available during the week between 11:00 and 15:00. I didn’t find the service to be very friendly and the atmosphere was just bloody mental. I’ll not be visiting here again.

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.
