Steamhouse, Urmston

Had a couple of drinks here on Saturday night after a meal at the Italian Job. Really enjoyed it - nice atmosphere, friendly staff, the Halloween decorations were great and the building is really interesting. Lots of buzz about the main bar and the smoking area outside but quieter tables to sit on through in the alcove bit.

The novelty of getting a mini bottle of wine like on a plane was good too!

The Punchbowl, Great Broughton

Love this pub. It was my local when I was growing up and my mum and dad still live across the road so I try and go when I stay with them, and have taken almost everyone else who comes to stay and they all love it. One of the smallest pubs I've ever been to - it's like Albert' front room. Always welcoming, good beer and cider and really cosy in the winter.

The Urmston, Urmston

We've just moved into the area and this is our new local, and we're pleasantly surprised by it.

Went in last Saturday night for a few drinks and there was a great atmosphere. Theer was a 60th birthday party going on, a few people "ironically" watching the Eurovision song contest and loads of other people just having a drink. I'd imagine the language could get a bit fruity in the vault but the beauty of having two rooms is that it can cater for everyone. Bar staff were friendly and quick.

Went in again on bank holiday Monday with my parents at lunchtime for a bar meal and the food was great and really good value. We'll be making good use of this place I think.
