Walkbustaxi said:Not tried the metro link extension yet but I know there's a few pubs in different directions around East Did station.
A few minutes down Didsbury Road is Heaton Mersey with The Dog and Partridge, Frog and Railway,The Griffin and a bit further The Crown.
If you're after a pub with food the best one is Cheshire Line, past the hotel on the road to Cheadle. The Gateway is your typical Wetherspoons food experience then last and least there's the Bell House.
You could always take the easy way and just hit Didsbury village.
They do an awesome Sunday Carvery or use to, not been in years! It is the one next to the garden centre right?
