The Gateway - JD Wetherspoon

Head down to East Didsbury and you'll find The Gateway doing exactly what it says on the tin — solid pub fare without pretence or faffing about. It's the sort of place where you can nurse a pint for hours without anyone making you feel like you're taking up space, or rock up for a quick lunch and be out within thirty minutes. The formula's familiar because it works: affordable food, a decent range of drinks, and staff who know what they're doing. You're getting proper value here, which matters when you're in one of Manchester's more affluent suburbs.
