Hi folks, Final one from me. Despite a devastating outcome (my son raged down the phone to me about the terrible reffing), the lads thoroughly enjoyed Mary D's. It was exactly the sort of place they wanted. So many, many thanks again. Hopefully they/we will be back to check out the Wagon and...

Hi folks, The husband and son (Jason and Senan) will try Mary D's first. If it's too packed, they'll head for one of the other suggestions. Your help is very, very much appreciated. Thanks, Fiona. Oh, and may MCFC win, of course!!

Well, the Bee Hive will be certainly be among my firm recommendations to my husband and son. I'm very grateful, and to your fellow forum members.

Very sorry to introduce what might be a silly topic, but I need to find a pub or something in Manchester that is kid-friendly, where my 13-year-old son and my husband can watch the FA cup semi-final tomorrow. We're from Ireland and have only been to Manchester once (last year, for a City match)...
