Called in today with some friends to show them our very individual coffee bar and they enjoyed it. They did comment that although it’s a great place for people with dogs there didn’t seem to be anywhere dog free for people who are nervous around dogs. By the way what a great success Phil has made of the Barista adding greatly to the local area’s attraction

A welcoming fire was ablaze when we walked in, lighting was ambient and we were greeted by Emma who asked us to get a drink at the bar whilst we waited for our table to become vacant. No more than 10-15 minutes later and we were at our table, looking through the menu. We were brought here today by my sister and brother in law who are locals and it was sensational. We shared the Sunday roast sharer (which has bottomless Yorkshire puds and gravy) and our wives had the vegetarian wellington. Food was fantastic, really tasty veggies, cauliflower cheese and meat. Service was even better with us having at least 3 check backs to see if we wanted any more drinks, Yorkshire puddings or gravy. As an old employee of hospitality, I really do appreciate when people provide a great service and this was definitely a place with that. Emma and Tina really made us feel at home and we couldn’t have been happier with their service. Thank you so much for a great experience. Will definitely be visiting when we’re in the area again.

First time visiting here booked a table for my mother in laws birthday when we arrived they had put a nice message on a board saying happy birthday which was nice. The staff were all friendly and kind food was incredible we had starters spinach and potato soup main course the beef Sunday dinner and for dessert chocolate brownie. Prices for food were good and you get a lot. Definitely be going again. The pub itself is so nice very clean parking outside nice views going to be visiting here again in summer so we can sit outside.

I had been there in the 80s with my brothers and cousin. Never thought I would be able to revisit. Great atmosphere, food and service. It's a bit out of the way for someone staying in Manchester, but if you find yourself in Bury on the Rochdale Rd, turn left onto Birtle Rd. You won't be disappointed.

Staff were absolutely great! Was a very cute and interesting place. My only criticism is that some of the cakes on the afternoon tea tasted a bit buttery , but other than that everything was perfect.

I love Healey Dell Tea Rooms sooooo much. Been many times and staff are always so friendly, food is excellent and the venue beautifully unique (I love it so much that I actually had my afternoon hen do celebration here back in 2018 🥰) Today I had the amaretto coffee cake which was absolutely amaaaaazing 👌👌👌 Honestly one of the best cakes I’ve ever had. And I eat a decent amount of cakes… I also had a chrysanthemum flowering tea which was really delightful. Fragrant and delicious. Watching the flower unfurl in the clear tea pot was lovely too. 10 out of 10 every time. A must visit 🫶✨

We were served by Estelle, she was very pleasant & attended to our every need. We had afternoon tea, which was delicious & plentiful. The cakes that we couldn't manage, were brought home in the box provided. Would definitely recommend & will be returning.

Much bigger than you initially think when you dine here. Went on a Saturday night and the place was packed. Lots of people busy tables etc. Staff were very pleasant and friendly. On the downside, our booking was for 5 people not 3. No tables. Waited just over an hour for a table and a further hour for our meal. Certain menu items had run out. We were asked what deserts we would like, when we hadn't even had our main course!! A gentleman served us our food or shall I say 'shoved' our plates at us. He must have been having a bad evening. The young girl server's were extremely nice, removed plates and cutlery etc whilst smiling at us all the time, I must highlight their good manners and service. We were overcharged for items we did not have. However, I did say they were extremely busy. We had some cocktails and they were delicious! The food was also very nice. City centre prices to mention. We would go back for a comparison visit because the food was good when we eventually received it. Unfortunately, it was our first visit and found it to be extremely chaotic.

Ran the Tatton Half Marathon, came to replenish with a Sunday Roast and a couple of pints. Lazy, slow paced afternoon, where we ate, chatted, drank and left happy. Top venue, always has been.

Quick Facts: ● CAMRA's National Pub of the Year 2013 ● Next door to the Co-op Museum ● Beer Garden ● Dog-friendly ● Can purchase cans to take away ● Featured in the Good Beer Guide Drinks The Baum offers an impressive selection with up to 10 keg beers and 8 rotating cask ales, including regulars like Vocation Brewery and local favourite, Pictish. There's also an extensive range of bottled and canned beers, along with a good array of gins, rums, and whiskeys. Food The food offerings went beyond typical pub grub, with quality dishes averaging around £14 for a main. The menu ranged from burgers to Katsu curry, with plenty of sandwiches and sides. The food arrived promptly, and there was ample cutlery provided. Facilities While there were no pool tables, dartboards, or TV screens, these weren’t missed thanks to the warm atmosphere. The seating was cosy, and the rustic décor felt like a countryside pub. The walls were adorned with signs, pictures, and posters that wouldn’t have been out of place on an episode of American Pickers. It was cold the day we went so we stayed inside, but there was a very nice beer garden at the rear. Service Service at The Baum was friendly, warm, and welcoming. The staff made us feel at home all night. They offered beer tasters and were enthusiastic about explaining their offerings. Though there wasn’t any seating available when we first arrived, they went out of their way to find us seats as soon as they could. Atmosphere The atmosphere is where The Baum truly excels, alongside its quality beer. This pub is a social hub where both locals and staff readily engage with newcomers, making everyone feel at home. One of the highlights of the night was watching Michael challenge the bartender to a game of chess, which was gladly accepted. Final Scores Here are our combined scores for the different aspects of the bar. We each gave a rating out of 10, which were added together to give us a score out of 50 for each category. The final scores were then averaged out to give us an overall score out of 50 for The Baum. The scores: ● Service - 49 ● Facilities - 45 ● Food & Drink - 46 ● Atmosphere - 50 Our overall score for the Baum is . . . 47 / 50 Final Thoughts The Baum is more than just a pub; it's a vibrant social hub with a welcoming atmosphere, exceptional drinks, and quality food. Whether you're a beer enthusiast, a fan of good company, or just looking for a cosy spot to unwind, The Baum delivers on all fronts. The friendly service, combined with the rustic charm and community vibe, makes it a place you’ll want to return to time and time again. It's no surprise it was named CAMRA's National Pub of the Year in 2013—The Baum is a gem in Rochdale that truly feels like home. We all agreed it was one of the best night's we have had in a pub. Brilliant place. Check out our video review at @BarHoppersOfficial on Youtube

Absolutely stunning! I was treating my friend to a birthday meal and honestly we were treated like royalty! The manager, Johnny, was lovely and all the staff were so helpful. Even the dessert chef made the effort and sent out a birthday plate. We will definitely be going back! The cocktails made by Sally & Tom were also to die for!! Now home, pjs and sleep for me! We ate so much! 🐷

Great restaurant with a lovely setting and lovely views from their window front upstairs. The menu was refreshing and a good price for a set menu on a Sunday. We started off with cocktails which were delicious and including the mocktails! The white onion soup starter was one of the nicest soups I’ve tasted in a while! The Sunday roast was perfect, my beef was cooked to perfection and we were stuffed by the end! The desserts were also nice from what we managed after being full up! In particular we enjoyed the deconstructed tiramisu. Unfortunately my mother had a medical emergency after the meal due to an illness, it was quite scary and required an ambulance (she’s ok now). The staff were absolutely incredible during this, phoned an ambulance, kept everyone calm and directed the paramedics upstairs so I’m very thankful to them and they’re a testament to the company!

An absolutely cosy and beautiful autumn atmosphere reflected in the gorgeous autumn leaves and soft lighting. We enjoyed our Sunday roast dinner. The food was delicious and didn't take long time to be served. This was brilliant to see despite the fact that the restaurant was so busy. Lily was amazing and looked after us and kept checking if everything ok! I absolutely enjoyed her recommendation of the carrot cake with Pistachio frosting. Great atmosphere and fantastic service and most importantly, very delicious food. Thank you ❤️

We were a tabke of 9 for a birthday. The staff were awesome. Very welcoming, very jovial and took care of us well. The food was phenomonal. I always have my steak blue but its rare that its ever served that way when i eat out. At Il Vecchio it was perfect. The chef really knows what he is doing. Additionally, for the great service and the amazing food, the price was very reasonable. 10/10. Would recommend everyone eats here

Great place for a Birthday dinner! We visited at the weekend for a Birthday dinner. The restaurant was mostly people visiting for Birthday celebrations and it was very busy, so please make sure you book in advance to avoid disappointment! All of the starters we had were delicious and the pasta I had was amazing! I absolutely recommend the pasta - I've never had a pasta that good before! The staff were all really good and very helpful with menu choices. Definitely worth a visit!

What can I say. Amazing and more. We have celebrated many a night here. My children have grown up with this restaurant always being their choice for family get togetherness. I love it here. Great care and attention to detail whether it be a sit down family meal of 6 or an impromptu stop off for a take out. The staff are amazing each and every one of them play a special part in our nights out. I refuse to go anywhere else for my fix of Italian food. FYI the Tiramisu is to DIE for !!!!

The first time I went we were a party of six and everything was amazing I couldn’t fault anything the food the service the wait time it was all perfect although the second time I went the waiter was very dismissive he didn’t right our order down and due to allergies I’m unable to have garlic and onion he seemed to be confused at our order but went away anyway then when the food arrived there was quite a few things wrong with it but then we got another waiter and they were amazing super understanding and really apologetic. Overall I really enjoyed my visit to this restaurant and would absolutely go again.

My children organised a surprise party for my birthday. I have been a regular visitor to the Toby since the mid 60s so I was delighted with their choice of venue.

This is an updated review after my visit last week, in which I wasn't very happy with the service or food. David Wood, General Manager, took the time to contact me and invited me back again so that they could make amends and improve on our last visit. I'm very happy to say that the service of all the staff was excellent, they were all very attentive. The food was excellent and they had taken into account my comments and made changes recommended. The steak was cooked to perfection and the prawn salad looked lovely in it's crystal bowl. I left the restaurant knowing that I will return. Thank you for listening!
