Gateway, East Didsbury
This pub is now in the hands of wetherspoons. No bargain booze here though, top end prices a la Didsbury village some half a mile away. I tried this place four days after reopening. I opted for an afternoon fish and chip special only to be told they were out of fish. Settling for "simply steak and chips" I collected my condiments on my way back to my table. Well, most of them. They were out of vinegar! Around 70% of the dishes include chips and there is not one drop of vinegar in the place! Tesco didsbury is approx 200 yds along kingsway, by the way. I heard another customer asking for the manager only to be told "neither of them is in right now". { Maybe they had gone to tescos for vinegar?! } After a short wait my meal arrived. The Campaign for Plain English must have had a hand in the menu wording, for when my "simply steak and chips" arrived it was just that - one piece of steak, eleven chips and er well, nothing else. No dressing, no salad, no veg. I for one will not be rushing back here. I called at the chippy on the way home!
