Good pub, good food. Shows the footy, acrosos the road from the metro. A welcome change from the bars on osbourne road. upstiars is open at busier periods.

This pub has changed a few times over the years, not for the better. Attracts a boisterous, very young crowd, some very drunk. You tend to get people taking their drink from this place to the Barton and vice versa.The toilets are a nightmare to get to when busy - service can be sluggish. Food was average. Shows football. Loud music/discos. On the day of the second visit - 25/08/05, someone had put some of the pubs front windows in.

Food is good, service good. Theres a lounge bar to the right which shows footy, and the main eating area is to the left. did not seem to have much atmosphere, but friendly enough. The pub have undergone a number of changes over the years, it was a Boddies pub at one time, but if you have not been for years you would not recognise it inside - I didn't.

Not the place it once was. Attracts a young crowd, a lot from outside the area. Does not have a welcoming atmosphere. disco nights, drink promotions, you would not want to take the family.

The Henry Boddington, Pendlebury
Pub doubles up as a lodge type hotel. Can get busy. Not really much character.

Pub is currently closed (august 2005) to be turned nabk to a restaurant type pub. The sports bar theme obviously did not work.

Basically a pub that is for the younger set, can get very busy and boisterous. Not quiet.

An old pub, modernised , situated next door to the Football. Gets busy at weekends. good service.

Excellent food, good choice, good service - the pub can get quite busy though. toilets situated at one end so you have to push your way through if you are at the wrong end. Can be difficult to park in the area.

Great location and food. on the banks of the Bridgewater canal. Good service - place does get busy, caters for families.

Good food and service.It does get very busy - and the one downside is the toilets are at one end of the place , not very accessable when the place is busy, and it is especially at weekends. Well worth a visit though. Easy to get to.

The Union Rooms, Newcastle
One of the most unusual pubs I have bene in, as previously stated its an old building given the wetherspoons treatment. You will lose your bearing when you first visit, there are a number of little rooms in the place. Bar snacks were accetable, prices cheap. shows footy and gets very busy.
