Pros:
"The food was really good."
"Super good food, really good menu."
"Food and drink reasonable prices and food was very good, tasty and piping hot."
"The food was of good quality."
"Food was lovely."
"The food was fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor."
"Food is excellent and always piping hot. Unless you have salad, of course, which is way above average."
Cons:
"The 'nachos', were completely cold, with the most artificial stone cold liquid cheese you've ever seen coating everything."
"The food outside is expensive and not that great."
"Food unfortunately was nothing special and was overpriced for the portions we got."
"The food was bland and shockingly bad! Presentation was beautiful tho."
"Food was a bit of a let down, too oily, bit expensive."
"The let down was the food, sadly. Husband and I ordered the cheese steak subs and as great as they looked, they just had no flavour."
"This is the food serving outside in the garden. The worst 'Lidl' fish fingers I wouldn’t even eat it at home."
Staff and Service

"All staff extremely polite friendly."
"The staff were so friendly and breakfast was good too."
"Service was great, warm and welcoming atmosphere."

"Service is always pretty slow and uninterested."
"The staff all seemed to be wanting to be somewhere, anywhere, else."
"The manager is a very rude and arrogant person."
"Staff were friendly enough, if not a little abrupt."
"Absolute Rip off... all the staff must be trained to be rude and ignorant."
"Whilst the staff indoors was very polite and friendly, the staff at the time in the outside bar had about much personality as a dying sloth."
Location and Atmosphere
Pros:
"Great pub near to airport. Covid-19 safety measures in place."
"Great pub with fantastic location at the end of Manchester Airport runway so you can sit and watch the planes whilst enjoying a cold drink."
"The pub's atmosphere was inviting, with comfortable seating and a nice mix of fellow travelers and locals."
"The inside was quirky and really cool, but the beer garden was great, with a playground for kids who were bored!"
"Great place, great atmosphere, children can watch the planes coming in."
"The huge garden sits at the end of the runway and depending on the approach being used that day, has planes flying directly overhead which is a great experience."
"Absolutely brilliant if you love planes and the theming in the pub is tastefully done and not too tacky."
Cons:
"Would have liked at least main gluten-free vegetarian meal."
"Only downside, not enough vegan options."
"Only downside is that it is a bit pricey (we spent £60)."
"The disappointment continued with mediocre service."
"Absolutely disgusting that the Airport Pub should allowed this parking racket outside their pub to continue for years."
"Don't think we will be going back in a hurry."
"Unfortunately, we won't return."
Parking
Pros:
"Parking was £1.80 for an hour, imagine it gets tight if lots are there."
"You do have to pay for parking, but that's a reasonable expense, given the place would be rammed with holidaymakers cars if they didn't."
"Pay & display parking at the pub, but it's still much cheaper than waiting at the terminals."
"Parking was busy but got a place straight away. You can pay by phone using the RingGo app."
"£3.50 for 2 hrs parking, a bargain around the airport."
"Parking outside is not free but also not expensive."
"It is easy to access the pub via the main airport ring road."
Cons:
"The carpark system doesn’t work and I keep receiving charge notices even after I paid my parking."
"Parking is very small for the size of the pub so not very convenient if you go there and it's full as nowhere else to park."
"You have to pay for parking but be vigilant, if you go over even by a couple of minutes (which does happen because you can end up waiting a while for a table) you get slammed with a hefty fine."
"Ended up with a FPN after having no idea that there's a parking charge there."
"Never seen a pub charging for parking, so we parked without even thinking of paying."
"Worst thing by far was the £3.50 I had to pay on the pub car park for 2h even though I was a seated patron."
"Warning - this place doesn't mind screwing over its patrons with a parking charge notice."
Value for Money
Pros:
"The portions are sizeable and represent good value for money."
"Came to £16 for two of us with two drinks, so not too bad."
"Food is good value for money I was shocked by the amount of food I got for £17 and I wasn't able to finish it all."
"The food was ok and good value for money."
"Very reasonable prices too which was a pleasant surprise as due to its location they could charge what they want and people would still come."
"Food was to die for!"
"The food was tasty."
Cons:
"Only downside is that it is a bit pricey (we spent £60)."
"The food outside is expensive and not that great."
"Food unfortunately was nothing special and was overpriced for the portions we got."
"Would I pay £27 again for 2 burgers and chips and 1 Diet Coke again in the future, nope you can get it a lot better elsewhere."
"Dirty fries cost almost £9 and the portion was tiny."
"Drinks were expensive..2 J20 for £6.60, plus £1.70 for an hours parking."
"However Cost of Soft Drinks Needs to Be Revised a can of monster energy is not worth £4.50 | when can be brought £1.50 the markup is insane would rather tip the waiter the difference instead of the High Markup on Soft Drinks."
Facilities
Pros:
"Great facilities for the kids to especially in the holidays."
"Nice food, excellent service & facilities."
"Outside drinks is fantastic and a lot of space for kids and a big play area."
"Good play area for children."
"Large play area for kids and outdoor bar/quick service for eg..nachos/burgers."
"Lots of outdoor seating, some under cover, and a play area with wooden aircraft frame."
"Great view to watch planes land and take off also great outside area with bouncy castles and climbing frame for kids."
Cons:
"The sunny conservatory tables were all reserved, so I felt unable to sit there."
"Beer garden had a lot of litter."
"Screaming kids left right and center. More of a play park than a beer garden with a bouncy castle etc."
"The play area outside was also good, although in need of repair."
"Only little negative is the toy shop, it's a bit annoying it is set up right by the park area when there is space on the tarmac area."
"Not dog friendly and it'd be nice if there was a sign in the car park that said that."
"Unfortunately the staff outdoor at the hangar were inappropriate."
