Robin Hood, Stretford

The Robin Hood is something of a landmark in Stretford, an old pub where most of its contemporaries were demolished long ago.

New management in mid 2014 saw real ale return to the pub amidst many other changes, sadly in late 2017 the cask beer has disappeard . The pub has undergone a transformation after receiving a substantial refurbishment in November 2014. Landlady Eileen Farrell has done away with the somewhat dated furnishings and brought the old building bang up to date. The large space has been split up to provide a family dining space, a sporting area and a more formal dining space. There is also a large function space, available for hire.

The pub has also implemented a more extensive food menu including some ‘big appetite’ challenges such as their 18” hot dog, a steal at £8.99 including two portions of chips. Alongside this expect pub classics with a few imaginative options thrown in for good measure and the usual two meals for £10 deal.

The fate of the Robin Hood has been something of a mixed bag in its more recent history but new landlady, Eileen Farrell, is committed to turning it back into the family focused establishment it once was. Alongside all the regular sporting fixtures Eileen has introduced a range of events from Macmillan coffee mornings to kids’ Halloween parties. Look out for the barbecues next summer, she’s a dab hand at jerk chicken
