The Best Restaurants in Bury, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

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.

Such a good pub , staff are the best here especially the long dark haired lady so so nice 💕 The food absolutely spot on had lamb shanks on bed crushed potatoes minted peas so very nice . We will be back even if it’s just to see that barmaid ! Great pub , Great staff….. Full of local. …… “ Characters”

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.

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.

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 ❤️

Had a birthday meal there with family on01/02/25. Lovely place, service was excellent especially Alex in the downstairs bar, so friendly and couldnt do enough for us. Definitely going back soon. Would definitely recommend this place

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! 🐷

Really busy and staff did great to still serve food efficiently. We reserved a table so no wait for seating, however the tables were crammed into a side room with hardly any space so we moved to another free table that was available and much more suitable of our own accord. Cleaning and collecting was a little too efficient, my wife took our 2 girls to the toilets and a had to tell them not to take the plates twice. Then after when we got deserts I had the same issue again, I moved the plates that I wanted collecting into a pretty obvious pile and had to tell the server to not collect my daughters jelly and ice cream. He still took the sharer bowl that was in front of me that had a last mouthful I was saving for my wife but didnt want to make a fuss over it.

Amy L and Stu were absolutely fantastic today and the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend coming here

Will definitely be returning here again. The staff are lovely. Molly took my order and helped me when I couldn’t decide what I wanted and Amy brought my food out with a big fat smile!

I came here for lunch with 3 family members we all enjoyed our meals 2 lamb and 2 vegetarian, after dining 3 of us wanted coffee and when I asked if they had oat or any alternative to milk coz I was lactose intolerant the waitress said No to which I was surprised, she didn’t even go and check. What is the point of offering vegetarian and vegan food if you don’t have dairy free milk, vegan desserts or ice cream options, surely it makes sense to have these on offer. Waitress didn’t ask if any of us had any allergies before we ordered which is a question we all commented on, this should be in staff training but she did keep asking if we wanted any more drinks, I bet that was in her training!!!!

We had our Christmas meal here. The waitresses were polite and attentive. And the food was hot and very nice. I had the Winter Soup and Turkey dinner. Nice size portion. One very minor issue, and almost not worth mentioning, but one of the pigs in blanket on my plate wasn't cooked enough. But they were more than happy to take my plate back and bring me a well done one, very quickly. Very nice as an overall meal. Will dine there again soon.

Nice friendly place this. Good menu choices. We were there for a family Birthday, with age ranges from 7yrs to 80. Overall the food was very good. The service was excellent. The dessert portions were quite small for the price but we’d dine here again for sure.

My birthday dinner with my husband, Food is fantastic, good portion, good price Highly recommend
