The Eccles Cross - Salford

We had a meal of gammon and eggs but unfortunately I left most of the gammon as it wasn't good at all. The fried egg with it was overcooked. The only good part was the chips. Service was quick even though it was busy. Standards have lowered since my last vist. I did wonder if this was mostly a microwave meal due to the poor quality.

I am using this pub quite a lot in at the moment due to working on the station outside. I had lunch today and the food was perfect, the staff were very friendly and chatty, checked everything was alright twice, and even delivered my a drink before I had paid for it, I'll be back that's for sure.

The wetherspoons in Eccles, must be one of the best in the country for people watching. When Manchester United won the cup winners cup, in 1991, the parade to show off the trophy, started in patricroft and went through Eccles. It was chaos in the streets with people celebrating. It was so good/bad, the police said no more united parades can ever go through Eccles. The Eccles cross can resemble that night, weekend after weekend. Fantastic place.

My brother and I went for breakfast and a beer. The toast was white and the bacon was cold. The beans were mushy and the egg was overcooked. The sausages and hash browns were extremely hot. The bar staff was excellent and I enjoyed my beer, but the kitchen needs improvement.

If you want to go out for a few drinks in a safe environment, this is not for you. But if you want to see the worst society has to offer and buy some cheap bacon, coffee or cheese that a local snack rat has pinched from Morrisons, then this is the place to be.
