So we returned to the farmhouse kitchen (formley Applewood) what a huge difference and transformation. The service was impeccable so much that we return a couple of days later with our son. The food was perfectly cooked both the set meals and the carvery. On the second visit the place was really busy but we only had to wait 15 minutes. Again excellent food and brilliant service.. Well worth the visit

After a refreshing walk along the Roe Green Loopline, there's no better way to unwind than with a sumptuous afternoon tea at the Farmhouse Kitchen in Worsley. Priced at £12.50 per person, you are served a few small pastries, a Yorkshire pudding wrap cut in half to share, two scones with jam and clotted cream, along with a huge slice of cake. You also have endless top up of tea and coffee.

First time visiting The Woodside on New Year’s Eve 2024. What a fantastic experience! Janet (our waitress) definitely added her personal touch and is obviously a credit to your team. Both food AND drink were spot on Happy New Year to one of the BEST restaurants / pubs we’ve been too in a long time!

Had late lunch (2-3pm) here with my mum. We ordered a main and dessert with drinks. Service by Janet was wonderful and couldn’t fault. It was quiet due to the late afternoon but that just meant it was more of a relaxed atmosphere. I have a gluten allergy that I made known and browsed my food online. I chose the fish and chips for main and mango and passionfruit pavlova for pudding. I enjoyed both but the fish needed a bit more flavour and the pudding seemed to be missing the passionfruit element. I still very much enjoyed my meal though! Would recommend and definitely will be back ☺️

The cafe is located at a wonderful area with main road scene. The breakfast was nice, especially for Egg Benedict with Hollandaise.

I would highly recommend this pub restaurant. The food was excellent. I like cooking and am almost always disappointed when I eat out, not here though. I’d say this was the best pub food I’ve ever had. The service was lovely, not intrusive but ensured the customer is happy. Definitely up there with the best. My compliments to the chef.

We typically turn up on a Sunday and the place is always busy! It's nice to see that with a local business. I'd recommend booking a few days in advance. The food is always wonderfully prepared, between the sharing roast option, the luxury steak sandwich, the lamb dishes - everything is always delicious. The drinks are also great! My partner and I tend not to drink and the non-alcoholic options are tasty and quite inventive. The strawberry lemonade and Vimto drink are extremely moreish.

Visited C&C with my parents who were visiting after been given two separate recommendations - it did not disappoint! Beautifully presented pub/bar area where we had a drink before heading through to the dining area for a meal. Fantastic atmosphere, one of the best I’ve experienced in some time in fact (Saturday night). Shared some small plates, the special of lobster ravioli was a real pick. Fillet steak (rare) cooked to perfection with an excellent pepper sauce. Smoked salmon and whipped feta - absolutely delicious. Scampi not bad, a little overdone and a touch dry. Steak sandwich was very well presented but the meat was of poor quality and very tough. Real shame on that one. I can’t imagine it usually is like this. Truffle mac and cheese wonderful. Truffle and Parmesan fries equally delicious. Wine list excellent - the Cairanne I fully recommend, good value at c. £36. Overall the food would have been a 4/5 given two slip ups but overall the experience would come to a 4.5/5 however as you can’t give half scores with google defo more to a 5 than a 4. Highly recommend. Will be back, and often!

Great breakfast on Saturday. They were really busy but the service was brilliant and food piping hot! Free filter coffee is a great bonus. We go regularly as it’s the best for food, value and friendly service.

No doubt on the food, it’s exceptionally good. Much better than those in China Town. And you can forget most of the restaurants in China Town after trying this. However, this restaurant also charges pricy, you should budget about £40 per head excluding drinks.

Great group meal with 6 friends. The £36 banquet was fantastic, everything was cooked to perfection.

Amazing food and attentive staff without being intrusive. A little expensive but you get what you pay for. The quality of the food stands out, always fresh and delicious. Great that they have a takeaway service too.

Absolutely outstanding! From the moment we sat down, we knew we were in for a treat. Every dish was crafted to perfection, bursting with fresh flavors and beautifully presented. The appetizers set the tone with their delightful blend of textures, and the main course was simply unforgettable — tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The dessert was the perfect ending, indulgent without being overwhelming. What truly stood out was the attention to detail, not just in the food but in the service as well. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the cuisine they served. Each bite was a testament to the chef’s creativity and skill. This wasn’t just a meal, it was an experience — one that left us savoring every moment. If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, this is the place. We can’t wait to return!

I have eaten here 3 times in the last month. Every time I have had a warm welcome and very efficient service. The food has always been delicious and we have never had to wait long. Mark is so friendly and very funny, he makes me laugh every time and nothing is ever too much trouble, what a great guy. Aaron served us very promptly at the bar and was very friendly he also brought our delicious desserts over very quickly. I highly recommend you try this pub you won’t be disappointed. 😊

*Autism Friendly* This restaurant has a cosy and clean atmosphere and plenty of room. The tables were all clean and had everything we needed- condiments and menu, placed nicely on the table. The music was at a lower level but still loud enough to enjoy. The menu has a wide range of options that are reasonable price-wise, with lots of offers. The staff were really nice. They ask if your food is OK, they were friendly and welcoming. It appears dogs are permitted but from what I saw, they stay on the floor. Lots of parking available. Disabled toilet access, albeit the disabled toilet was a bit grotty when compared to the male and female toilet. People who depend on disabled toilets should be given the same standards as the ordinary toilets. No mirror either? At quieter times there are tables in nooks and corners for people who are easily overwhelmed, to sit in and feel at ease. I’m certain the staff at this restaurant would accommodate anybody that needed any special measures or assistance. The food was good, plate full of food which was as described. Would visit again and plan on doing soon!

Had a get together lunch with my friends. Enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Great offers on the menu too. The staff are helpful and pleasant. Will revisit again! A good number of parking spaces - guests and diners must register their car reg for free parking. I can imagine the pub will be very popular in the evenings and weekends. Glad we had the lunch on a Thursday as we could actually talk and have a proper conversation!

Food came fairly quick and tasted nice. The burger could do with a spruce up. It was quite plain. But other than that was ok. Drinks are nice and a good price. Food is also fairly price and can get an alcoholic drink with your meal for an extra £1-£2. Place is massive! And I love the ladies toilets! Sooooo spacious and clean. Even has seating area in the toilets! I didn't take my phone to toilets so didn't get a picture, and I wasn't walking back up the mountain of stairs to take pictures! 😂. I'd definitely visit again.

Everything about our visit was good. Booked a table online. I was very impressed with the notifications of the booking and one to confirm that we still wanted the reservation. We booked in on arriving and shown to our table. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Good choice of food on the menu. We would recommend The Barton Arms and we will be back.
