Really good Sunday lunch. Not a great selection for gluten free but found something and it was sufficient. Great ale. Good atmosphere.

I had a disappointing experience at lunchtime today. The wait for food was long and we were not informed, which I would not have minded as the establishment was clearly very busy if the service had been better. Two of the three meals ordered were delivered together but without cutlery or acknowledgement from the staff. The wait to get served was so long that my family ended up eating without cutlery. All the while my food was still not delivered. I had to chase it up at the bar for it to be brought after everyone else had finished eating. Cutlery was also brought after we had finished eating and I had waited at the bar to request it. There was no offer of sauces either and not enough napkins for everyone. Additionally, my pizza was brought out cold on one side and hot on the other and had gone hard after clearly being left under the pass for too long. The loaded fries also appeared pretty scarce of toppings. After waiting at the bar for a relatively long time just to politely ask for cutlery and to ask where the meal I paid for was I wasn't met with much hospitality either, although my server did very quickly address the problem after it was brought to her. 1/5⭐

We love coming to the Met. Lovely family atmosphere, amazing service. Can't fault it in any way. Baby friendly too which is great. Amazing food choices. Sarah's service in particular is impeccable everytime.

I ordered the Gammon steak, which i cannot recommend, it was far too salty, inedible in fact, i mentioned twice to the waitress who did nothing and offered no solution or recompence, hence 3* for food and service and no tip. We were a party of 6 and everyone else was happy with their choices. Including 1 in the group who also had gammon and said his was ok. Pub had a quiz night on which looked good fun and was full inside.

Few weeks ago I went to Metropolitan with a friend and our children for a coffee while waiting for our partners. We had planned to have dinner there altogether. We sat at the area next to the pizza place. The area was almost empty just our table and another one with a group of people. The people sat on the other table started to shushed almost since the very moment we arrived. At the beginning my friend and I thought it was a kind of joke between them and not something towards us, as you expect that between adults if you have a problem you will come closer and address and explaining the issue, instead of using this kind of passive aggressive behaviour. The shushes carried on for a while until one person of that table shouted “shut up”. At that point, although my husband had just joined for dinner, we decided to leave. I was very upset, as metropolitan was a pub I used to go very often. For that reason I recognised that some of the people who sat on that table were indeed workers of the pub. We meant to leave the place without arguing. However, when we passed close-by them, we heard “it was about time “. According to them it was not time for children to stay there (7 pm at that point) however there is not any rules or policy that says children cannot be there at that time. Besides inside the pub was full of children. For me the whole experience was very inappropriate and unpleasant. Obviously as I said to them it was the first time I was treated like that and the last because I won’t come back there again. And certainly, I will make sure that this experience is well spread and I will retell as many people as possible because to be honest no one deserves to be treated like that and much less by workers of the place.

Great food, bottomless Yorkshires and roast potatoes is a game changer. Great service from Shannon.

Really nice food, greta service, Shannon was super friendly, helpful and just 10/10 service!

We were there few weeks ago with the kids in the outside area, there were only 1 table ( waiters and someone in charge/owner?). They asked the kids few times to shut up and did few disgusting comments. When we were leaving the said: “finally”. Very unpleasant, specially coming from the staff. It surprise me how we tolerate people shouting drunk in a close place like this restaurant but no kids playing in outside area with no people around.

We had an excellent meal at the Metropolitan, the food was wonderful! The service provided by Shannon was great, she was timely and prompt with the service throughout. The pub has a great atmosphere and would recommend to all!

This pub used to be so good but is going right down. I are there twice in the last few weeks and the quality of the food has collapsed. Really not very good at all. I had sea bass one day, which looked and tasted supermarket bought. I had lamb shank the second time, and it felt dreary and flavourless. All very disappointing. On top of this they have introduced little screens on the bar pillars. Really tacky. Yuck. On it's way back to becoming the Midland again. Still got great outdoor space, but feels like it is sliding downhill.

First visited this huge pub about 50 years ago. Been back a few times. A very wealthy area now, once a home to cheap student digs. Ic and Flic have never been to a bigger pub, even bigger than I remember. Caters for all needs. Six real ales. Multiple rooms. Huge outdoor area, huge conservatory. YV's showing sport. Busy kitchen and a pizza oven outside. Had a lovely pint from Coach House brewery. Ic n Flic had an excellent Provence Rosé.

Good for large group but definitely book. Our waiter Ry was very good and very patient. If offering water for table it helps to have enough jugs for all the tables.

I visited recently for a wake The venue is lovely, the staff worked hard and were friendly and efficient. Unfortunately the venue was freezing cold and mourners had to sit in their coats. The sandwiches on the buffet had nice fillings but the bread was very dry and tasted stale. Nice chips

I have not eaten here for a while, but I only hear good things.

My friend and I went for dinner on a Wednesday evening at the Met in Didsbury. Considering it was a week day the atmosphere was very good and it’s a beautiful building that makes you feel at home. We had the ribeye steak which was lovely. The onion rings were amazing! We were served by Ry that evening and he was absolutely great. We had a lovely time with him and he’s a very pleasant server we couldn’t have asked for better. Nothing was too much trouble. Look forward to returning. Thank you.

All in all a great pub for the area. Truly represents the Tory spirit of the neighborhood. It's vast and has so many different areas it feels like an adventure. The beer garden is great and also features a fire pit and numerous heating lamps. Dog friendly and pet friendly too 😎
