Good food and drink in a GREAT traditional pub! Cask ales, log fires and candles make it sooo cosy in the winter yet cold lager, crisp rose wine and grassed beer garden is perfect for chillin' in the summer sun. Be tempted by our home cooked food from either the man menu or specials board.

Good quality pub grub, great staff (Chris J was great) good atmosphere, if you like fish you've gotta try the whitebait!
Great pub, have eaten in there a few times and always been impressed with the food, service and general air to the pub. Went in there on my wedding day with a party of 50 people and they accommodated us for lunch. Have taken familiy members to this pub when they came to visit, and they were equally as impressed. When we visit Didsbury, as we have now moved away from Greater Manchester, we usually call into The Didsbury for a drink or something to eat.
Love this place, especially now it's been done up.
More of a pub restaurant than a pub, the Didsbury is nonetheless warm and welcoming with a good variety of ales on tap.
They have a varied menu with such choices as Beef and Directors Ale Pie, Lamb Kleftico and Thai Red Snapper, plus they have good lunch and teatime deals if you're on a budget.
You can sit round the fire in the winter, and then there's a huge beer garden out front to enjoy in the summer - it's popular with staff at the office blocks and the university campus nearby, but it's also suitable for families too.
Well worth a visit...
I went for a meal to the Didsbury expecting much more than I got. The food was alleged to be great, but I thought it was pretty average and bland.
The beers on offer at the pub were good however, as was the level of service.
Although a little off-centre for Didsbury Village (5 minute walk), this place has a good combination of atmosphere and class. There's a really nice selection of cask ales here (Davenport rotate their stock through this place so there's often something new to try), and some high quality food. It does come with a price tag and the place is often very busy in the evening so it's advisable to book ahead if you're coming for a meal. Great Monday Night Quiz, with multiple prizes on offer including a top prize of a meal voucher for the venue if you can't afford the aforementioned price tag.
The Didsbury is one of those pubs you wish was your local. It has just about everything you could want in a pub; good food, cask ales, an extensive wine list and a log fire in the winter.
Food is served from noon 'til late and the current menu includes dishes such as Whole Baked Camembert, Chorizo and Paprika Chicken and Traditional Baked Cheesecake. Wash this down with a traditional cask ale or choose from their extensive wine list.
Keep your eye on their website for forthcoming events. Recent highlights include a Burns' Night Supper and Casino Royale Night.
lovely pub with great real ale selection.
The monday pub quiz with steve is fantastic fun and not taken too seriously like most quizes.
Food is brilliant, with BOGOF on a monday also.
Quiz starts at 9:30 if you want to either avoid or join in.
Some people find it a bit pricey, but you need to buy class occasionally.
The food here is top notch pub grub. Not had a nicer pub meal for a long time and fully recommend the Didsbury if you’re going out for a traditional, reasonably priced meal. I had pork and cider sausages & mash and although a simple dish it was cooked to perfection.
My only critisism comes if you are looking to go there for a pint. Basically it isn’t a pub any more, it’s a restaurant. If you go in for a drink you will not be allowed to sit down, and possibly not even be served. It’s always a shame when pubs don’t keep an area aside for drinking. It has chosen to do food though, and it must be said it does this very very well.
we visited this pub, hopeing to see the log fire nice sit down and a drink, but as soon as we came through the door this army major woman said no meal no seats and did,nt want to know us, we ordered a drink and my husband who has a bad back and a heart condition had to stand at the bar or go outside in the cold, not much of fire in the corner either, was disgusted won,t bother again….
PaulJ I’ve replied and appologised personally to Benidorm.

Nice place to meet friends. Relaxed atmosphere. I have only actually been there in the summer months but enjoyed it all the same. Prices are a bit 'pricey’ but friendly service and nice clientele. You get what you pay for.
Nice in the Summer, undoubtedly but pricey and poncey to boot. But that’s Didsbury all round for me!!!

Situated at one end of Didsbury village the Didsbury is accessible by public transport and only 5 minutes from East Didsbury railway station. A really cosy pub on winter nights when the fire is going. It also provides a lovely beer garden in the summer, perfectly placed to watch the day go by. The drinks are reasonable, and the food is tasty, with a menu which seems to change with the season. The Sunday lunch is slightly pricey, but worth it. Staff are friendly and if real beer is your thing then this place is definitely the place to visit.

This is a good place in the summer when you can get a table outside (very busy though) and cosy in the winter when you’re going for a meal and the fire’s going. The menu is okay, nothing too special and fairly expensive for pub food. A couple of times when I’ve been there the service hasn’t been great and I’ve ended up in a scrum at the bar trying to place food orders. Nevertheless, it’s a good place to take your parents for lunch if you live locally.
PaulJ Hey Cheesenvinegar
Thanks for the comments.
We now are full table service so you won’t have that scrum and we have an 2/3 course offer midweek.

Great for it’s outside space in the summer. Internally, it’s very tacky though..
PaulJ Thanks for the review.
Can’t help the interior although we have thrown a lot of the really shit stuff away.

The Didsbury is a great pub just on the way out of east Didsbury. The atmosphere is warm and cosy with a real old English pub feel. It has real wood fireplaces, which they light in the evenings. The pub serves food all day. I have eaten there a couple of times and have always been pleased, as have my friends. The food is home made and the menu in the evening is extensive, but there isn’t really a lunchtime menu available. The food is not cheap but is nice.
The Didsbury is almost universally loved by those who have tried its Sunday lunches. These are excellent and offer us students a chance to taste something that resembles home cooking. The food is good throughout the week though, and it’s nice to get some classic English pub food when the fancier delights of Didsbury don’t appeal. There is also a good selection of beers, and a beer garden for the short summer months. It’s a real treat to have a proper English pub just down the road.

Didsbury is great for a Saturday night out and the Didsbury Inn is a fantastic place to visit. It’s very olde worlde with wooden beams on the ceilings. There is a huge choice of beers and real ales for the connoisseurs out there. The pub is clean as are the toilets.
There is ample car parking space, a nice beer garden for the summer months and to top things off the staff are always very pleasant and polite.
Try it and you’ll be hooked, it’s really nice welcoming place to visit!
cool pub, great atmosphere and great people!!!
