Samuel Brooks

The former Manor House on Manor Avenue in Sale has had a major refurbishment and is now The Samuel Brooks, subtitled 'pub and dining' and a further subtitle 'friends and family'. Still a Hydes outlet there are three handpumps with Hydes Original and two other beers, either seasonals or beers from the Beer Studio. The new menu is available 12 to 9 seven days with various special offers most days, one being an over 60's lunch club, 12 to 4 Monday to Friday. The new layout is not that far removed from the old one just bigger and certainly has a lighter feel with huge picture windows on three sides, although it is possible to eat throughout, the large room to the left of the entrance is dedicated to family dining and the other rooms are restricted to over 18s. A feature of the re-vamp is the varied and unusual furniture from many sources, recycled factory tables and benches alongside the traditional soft bench seats offer a varied look to the interior. At one end is a vault type area with a large screen TV and a dartboard and at the other a substantial outdoor section containing the traditional bench seats and tables, in the middle of one space is an old timey butter churn, this is just one of the unusual objects which are peppered around the place.
