Really great service, great food. Staff were very helpful in storing and providing utensils for a birthday cake. Quieter atmosphere at lunch which may/may not be to a crowd's taste. Would definitely go again

never been here before. Good atmosphere, friendly staff. The menu had enough to suit everyone. I am not a vegetarian, but even those pies looked good. I had steak and ale and it was delicious 😀

Get food - nice to eat somewhere where there were three different pies I could eating being vegetarian. Great that two of the pies were vegan friendly. Nice choice of beers to have with the food as well. We also had a very nice waitress/bar staff.

Service was great, pies were great, (especially the veggie choices), what wasn't great was the lack of desserts. Not 1 dessert to be found in the entire restaurant. Not ideal for those with a sweet tooth like me.

The pies were a disappointment. Good flavour, but pretty short on filling, with too high a ratio of pastry to content. The pastry was too solid. Nice presentation and friendly staff and the ales to choose on tap were good.

Excellent place to eat. It was a busy Friday night, there was s good vibe about the place. Our table was reserved and was soon drinking a decent pint of ale. Service was excellent and when the food came it was of a good quality. All in all a great experience in Manchester's Northern Quarter.

The service was excellent, the staff were attentive but not overbearing. The food was AMAZING and the beer was fantastic! The waitress even brought out samples of the different beers for us to try first! Definitely worth going again and again!

This was our first visit to Pie and Ale and we took our daughter and partner there for an early evening meal. The food was really good and I would recommend the steak pie with red cabbage pie topping. The portion sizes were really generous so there was no room for any pudding. There was a good choice of ale and the wine was very reasonably priced. The staff were really friendly and attentive. We will definitely go back and would recommend this restaurant to our friends.

Pie was very tasty but would have liked a little less pastry, perhaps on the top only. We were there for a late lunch - think it would be a better experience in the evening.
