[@]Great Pub Food

The resurgence in quality British Pub Food is partly due to the introduction of the smoking ban, making the atmosphere breathable and you can see the staff behind the counter, not always recommended...

The spaces where the food is served are friendly and appealing and the food can often rival restaurant standard. Certainly there are chefs in pubs producing some excellent fare.

Manchester has a body of such pubs where the food is well presented and is great value. In this list you will find mammoth burgers, fabulous tasting pies and chunky cuts of meat served with fresh vegetables.

And you enjoy an good pint while waiting for your food to arrive. What's not to love?
