The Urmston

After being let down by another pub for a roast dinner, I called The Urmston last minute and they were able to reserve a table straight away! We were seated in the bar section as we had a dog, which was all fine, there was no table service so we had to order at the bar which was all fine. The roast was quite nice, the beef and the Yorkshire puds were really lovely, the roasties were nicely cooked and the gravy was hearty. All in all, good value for money!

Food is always decent, but it's the service that lets this place down. Drinks and food were ordered pretty quickly, as it wasn't busy at all. Food arrived quicker than it normally does and was absolutely fine, they did however forget one item completely, so it was another 5+ plus minutes before it arrived. After we finished our mains, no one came back to clear the table or ask if we wanted dessert, we had to go back to the bar to order whilst staff were just chatting with each other. The pub still wasn't busy at this stage either. Order was taken and eventually the table was cleared and we had desserts. Again, no one came back, so back to the bar to pay and leave. We still tipped, although in hindsight we probably shouldn't have. We used to come to the urmston quite frequently, but it was always knowing the service was slow, but the food was good. We don't come as often anymore however.
