Romper

Absolutley georgous food i had salt and pepper squid steak and ale pie and bakewell tart. Hubby had the terrine, slow cooked vennison and sticky toffee cheesecake off the special menu. Food was georgous as always, staff are great very attentive and polite and friendly. We came on a tue tea time and was really busy so best to book beforehand.

We went to the pub at around 5pm, it was a beautiful sunny day. (For a change!) We sat outside and my husband went in to the pub to get the drinks. Service was slow as there was only one person on the bar but the person serving was cheerful and polite. We were told if we wanted to order food we had to eat inside as they had stopped serving food outside which was very disappointing as it was such a lovely evening. We did book a table and go in to eat at around 7:15. I ordered the signature burger and my husband ordered some olives, garlic mushrooms and some onion rings. When our food arrived it was warm rather than hot which we did mention to the young man who was serving. To be fair he did offer to take it back but by this point we had eaten a reasonable amount of it. Even though the food wasn't piping hot the burger was very good, it's not a meat pate but proper beef made like a burger. The service was good and the staff were friendly. The only let down was the food not being as hot as it should be when served.

Despite being around the corner from the airport, Romper is above and beyond what you'd expect from "airport-ish" food. Everything we had, down to my cappuccino with a complementary chocolate chip cookie, was absolutely delicious. We ordered the squash/red pepper soup, steak and ale pie, fish and chips, and sticky toffee pudding (stupidly good). Food presentation, great music, cute patio, and exceptional customer service from a very attentive manager made this visit memorable and we'd be happy to recommend it to anyone.

For all these years, we've been packing ourselves up with food to go to airport hotels the night before our flight at Manchester Airport. Until we discovered this pub!! It's a short walk from both of the Premier Inns, and the Holiday Inn. Took us around 7 mins to find. The pub is lovely and clean, the staff are friendly - very friendly. I was impressed with the ladies toilets having hairspray, face wash, deodorant and handcream. I didn't need to use it, but it's a lovely touch to make you feel welcomed. We shared a starter, salt and pepper squid, which was lovely. The main, however, not as good. We had the Seabass Risotto and the Seafood Grill. My risotto was more like... rice. Quite bland, not creamy or luxurious. The seabass skin wasn't crispy and the flesh was a little overdone. My hubby says his was 'satisfactory'. Now, all that being said, it hasn't put us off. We'd definitely come again but just try something different, steak maybe. The welcome was enough to keep us happy. For desert, he had Mocha Torte (delicious, rich, not overly sweet) and I had Black Cherry Creme Brulee. Not something I'd normally order, but really enjoyed it. They take Tesco vouchers too, BTW, so all in all, it was a lovely night with great service. Would definitely recommend. :)
