After not wanting to queue up for 40 mins plus at usual Manchester breakfast joints we ventured over to the Abel where we had previously only had drinks. Well what can u say... what a gem!!. First off very clean as usual with very attentive friendly staff
The breakfast options arent too numerous to make choosing complicated but enough to be interesting. I opted for the Manc Madame whilst Mrs T went for the full English. I can honestly say these were the best breakfasts we have had in the city centre. Great quality ingredients and more than enough to fill you up.
The bloody mary i had with mine was a perfectly spiced accompaniment whist the mimosa got the thumbs up from the wife.
Will we be returning? Simple.. Yes we will. We just hope the cat isnt let out the bag and we have to queue for undoubtedly Manchesters finest breakfast next time.
Fab meal that I won in their Christmas advent competition. Amazing steak, wonderful puddings and the wine was excellent. Definitely recommend.
Absolutely superb food, 9 of us went for a meal yesterday, everyone’s food was delicious, the service was great. I had Steak Frites and it was amazing. Oh yes I highly recommend the Manchester Tart 😍. Will definitely visit again.
Came with my friend on Sunday after it had been recommended to her by work colleagues & certainly didn't disappoint! The Sunday roast was to die for! The bar staff were friendly & helpful & the atmosphere was cozy. Will definitely eat here again
We stayed here from birmingham and the staff couldn't of been more helpful or friendly. The food was gorgeous and the man that served us was approachable and friendly.
Great room too! Clean and spacious! Defo worth the money. Will be booking up again soon.
Highly recommended!

Brought my very southern partner to Manchester for her birthday last year and after finding this place she's fell in love with both. We've stopped in Abel 3 times over the last 2 years, we travel from Cheltenham just to spend time in the northern quarter and Abel Haywood. Couldn't recommend it enough. Great beer, great food, well decorated�
Quaint, friendly, charming and ideally located for the city centre. The food was also excellent. Highly recommend the vegetarian pie with feta cheese and squash!

Lovely gin afternoon tea. The food was so tasty (and filling) and the gin tea pots were fruity and delicious. The only thing that let it down a bit for us, was the very long wait from getting the drinks until the food arrived.
I loved the non-meat pie I ordered and the burger my husband ordered was also very delicious. The service was prompt and the food was quality and filling. The eclectic atmosphere doesn’t hurt, either.
Excellent attention, ambiance and service. I stayed in a room with great mobility aids. A fire alarm went off during the night (a guest's fault, but also proving they have a good emergency system) and the hotel provided free breakfasts (with delicious freshly-baked pastries) and late check-outs so we could rest. Great place to stay, rest and enjoy.
Booked the Abel Heywood for group function at very short notice. The team are very communicative and supported us booking for 10 to 15 of various team members. It had a lively atmosphere when we turned up with impending live music to boot. Drinks were ordered and food order taken. Only gripe was menu changed and spam fritters taken off the menu. Note it be great as a lunchtime special spam fritter, fried egg chips and beans..harking back to school days. The team ordered an assortment of burgers and sandwiches. The steak looked inviting at the price but it wasn't a sit down type of gathering. The night went well with the decline into shots baby Gunness. But thoroughly enjoyed by the team and great staff shout out to Meg, Elliot, Toby and Alex plus the kitchen! Worthy pub for gatherings and a return for meal.
Only had drinks this time.
But we've eaten here on several occasions.
Good standard of pub food.
Great selection of beers and a historical feel.
Staff are friendly. And you can take your dog.
An update on decor is on the way as well.
I visited this establishment for a Sunday roast and was thoroughly impressed. Opting for the mixed platter for two, I found it to be the finest example of such a meal in Manchester. For aficionados of Sunday roasts and a meat-centric dining experience, I highly recommend this venue. It unequivocally deserves a five-star rating.
Beer selection was a bit weak. Selection of hydes beers which were very reasonably prices especially with the 50p off cask ales on a Monday (3.35 for a pint of dark ruby!). Function room upstairs was good for our event with good privacy but access to the bar.
We stayed here for one night there was 10 of us the rooms were excellent clean and modern we had a drink and meal at night and the food and service was excellent we had breakfast the next morning and same good service and food was excellent again the staff were very helpful and would definitely stay here again would recommend it to anyone who wants to go Manchester as its in a great spot
We stayed at abel heywood for just a night while on our trip to lake district.
A couple of important observations .....first the good -
1. The location is so good.......there were good cafes nearby and the place as such located in a lovely location.......
2. Abel heywood pub is very popular ...
3. Now the not so pleasant..... We reached the hotel pretty late - around 10:30 pm or later ...The staff who checked us in had no clue about where we should park. All he could he had to say was that the parking next to us is expensive don't park here ..go to a different parking ...he had no clue what the charges there were !!!...we were so tired after all the travelling......this hunt for car park took us another 30 minutes .....
4. The hotel room was smallish...we two couldn't open our suitcases at the same time ......that was a challenge !....the room was really cosy and comfortable. We had a good nights rest and were recharged for taking on the new day .....
We've been there for Sunday roast. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was good. The service was good and the staff was friendly.
Fantastic Sunday Lunch - Try the sharing platter, you won't regret it.
Reasonable prices for Manchester!
Hidden gem
Please note we have not scored the rooms as we didn't stay at he hotel
EXCELLENT FOOD, AMAZING SERVICE, GORGEOUS LOCATION. My parents and I when to Abel Heywood for my birthday meal. We had three roasts which I can’t fault, the portion size and food quality and the beer & wine selection was great. Couldn’t recommend comment more :)
I organised a group meet up here and the venue and staff were exceptional.
Lydia looked after us and was so attentive, we couldn't have asked for more!
Great service, great space - very much recommend.
Had Sunday lunch for our daughter's 23rd birthday and couldn't have asked for a better experience.....amazing Sunday lunch with a delicious selection of items all beautifully presented. The staff were really friendly & helpful & there was a great atmosphere. This is the place to eat Sunday lunch in Manchester!
Not enough stars to describe this place. Booked the suite for my wife’s birthday. She was unwell when we got there. No problem they arranged meals in room along with flowers and a birthday cake on the house. Lovely room food and fantastic staff. Thanks so much
Had drinks followed by a wonderful Sunday lunch here with my daughter and partner. Top quality food and exceptional service from Will at the bar. Would highly recommend.
It is not too far from restaurants, other pubs, shops and public transport, a nice variety of drinks to pick from, the tables near the toilet stairs, as you can imagine, can be overcome by the smell of the lavatories, but seating was quite comfortable with a cool ambience from the decor and lighting.
Went in at around 2pm on Tues 26th march ordered a drink and the bartender said I'll bring them over ,he was Harry he served us at our table very pleasant had great service and found the re vamp very tasteful nice atmosphere
