Airport Pub, Manchester Airport

Great little place to visit to watch the planes landing, our toddler loved it. Play area at the back is a good size to keep the kids entertained between landings and the inflatable is a nice added feature. Food was lovely, but would have liked at least main gluten-free vegetarian meal, but overall a good simple selection of choices.

Best part is the plane spotting. Was appalled by the food and service to be totally Honest. I rang up a day prior to ask about gluten free options as my other half is highly gluten sensitive and will suffer for days if he has any. Lass on the phone says yes there’s plenty of GF options, can do any of the sandwiches as GF too… when we looked at the menu we thought none of it seeems GF but will ask anyway. They weren’t sure on what was gluten free, but has gluten free bread. Husband pointed out that even if they slapped a burger in the gluten free bread it’s not gluten free. There wasn’t any allergens catered to although we made the trip expecting there to be. Anyway he had cheesy chips which were safe, to find a bit chunk of breaded chicken in the bottom, which is cross contamination. Come home to a bad stomach 🤢. Screaming kids left right and center. More of a play park than a beer garden with a bouncy castle etc. moved to a different spot and had a much nicer time.
