About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
Right by Old Trafford, The Bishop Blaize is widely recognised as a Manchester United matchday hub, historically drawing the club’s most passionate supporters before kick-off. That makes it a quintessential home-fan stop for pre-match songs and atmosphere. On TV, the pub shows live sport (Sky Sports listed), so early arrivals can watch other fixtures. As a Wetherspoon, it serves a full food menu, useful for early kick-offs and for lining up before heading to the ground.

Great Spoons on the doorstep of Manchester United football club, full of Man U memorabilia, lots of tables both high and low seating, we had the spice bag and a Wetherspoons curry but in my opinion the food wasn’t served as hot as i would have liked, the salted caramel dessert on the other hand was amazing, staff polite, tables cleared and cleared quickly. 8/10
Pub Review near Old Trafford, Manchester ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ If you're visiting Old Trafford and looking for a classic British pub experience, this place hits the spot. Just a short walk from the stadium, The Bishop Blaize offers a solid mix of comfort food, good beer, and a lively football atmosphere — especially on match days. 🍕 Food The pizza was surprisingly good for a pub – generous toppings, crispy edges, and nicely balanced flavors. Perfect for sharing with a pint. The fish and chips were classic – golden, crunchy batter and thick-cut chips, served with tartar sauce. It’s not gourmet, but it’s exactly what you'd want from a traditional pub. 🍺 Drinks They’ve got a decent beer selection on tap – from lagers like Coors to darker options like Guinness or a local ale. Prices are reasonable, and they often have offers (like £1.99 cask ales). The pint glasses even have custom designs which add a fun local touch. 🎯 Atmosphere Inside, it's a football fan's haven – decked out with memorabilia, screens showing live sports, and a buzzing crowd when matches are on. Outside seating is a bonus on sunny days, and there’s even space to get some work done with a pint in hand. 👥 Service Staff were friendly and efficient even when it was busy. The menu is straightforward and easy to navigate, and you won’t be waiting long for your food or drinks. 💸 Value for Money You’re getting exactly what you pay for — big portions, solid drinks, and a front-row seat to local pub culture. Ideal before or after catching a match. 📍 Location Right on the route to Old Trafford, it’s a perfect pit stop. Expect crowds on game day, so arrive early if you want a seat!
Great place to watch a game – the atmosphere is amazing! Prices are really affordable, the staff are super friendly, and overall it’s just a fantastic spot. Definitely recommend Bishop Blaize!
Great spot near the stadium. Great variety of beers. The beers are chep which is amazing! We had fish and chips and spicy chicken wings, both dishes were tasty.
Good food, very affordable! appropriate portions, good atmosphere even if you're not a ManU fan (like myself lol). It was a bit crowded as expected and you should sit yourself and order in the bar but they'll bring the food for you.
