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

Good food well priced and friendly service

Our first visit to The Bowling Green. We entered via a door from the car park, which by the way is quite a large car park with a big beer garden. The waitress quickly identified that we had never been before and explained how to order and where to order, etc. Drinks are ordered and paid for separately at the bar. Food is ordered and paid for at a till away from the bar. I think this is a good idea. We ordered 2 x The Bowling Green Special Baguette that came with chips and a side salad. It's was very tasty indeed. I had a glass of house red wine, which was good. We shared a dessert of Apple Caramel Cobbler with custard. This was also very nice. My partner would have preferred the custard separate from the cobbler so she could decide how much custard to put on. Perhaps she should have asked for them to be separate when she ordered. To finish off my meal, I had a Cappuccino. It came with plenty of chocolate on top, just how I like it. Our bill came to £36.60. The place was very clean and tidy. The staff were very friendly and helpful. As soon as the tables had been vacated, staff immediately cleaned them (sprayed then wiped down and reset for the next customers).

Stopped for some impromptu food, with no prior knowledge. All I can say is wow! I had the lamb and mint pie. Simply stunning and well worth the calories. My wife had the Cajun chicken and that was awesome. For the money, we had a great feed. We were not local, but felt really welcomed. All I can say is BOOM and try the pie!!

100/10 Food! I Had The Nevison Burger (beef) And It Was SUPERB!! As Soon As The Rich Flavour Hit My Mouth It Was Love At First Bite! I've Been Here Many Times The Service Has Always Been Exceptional! And The Food Has Only Gotten Better! Any Review That Puts This Brilliant Pub To Shame Is Utter Nonsense. This Is A Gem. Ty 4 Reading This Aswell

Don't go in here nearly as much as we should. We're local, but not born in Leigh so sometimes it feels awkward in certain places, but not here! People are so friendly! Great atmosphere, we have a very big dog and she was welcomed in too by the staff and customers. Really enjoyed our drinks. Hope to see you all soon 😊

29th JANUARY 2025. ‘Wandering Wednesday’ this week took Hubster Neil and I to an absolute diamond of a hidden gem….. ‘The Nevison Country Inn’ which is in Leigh, it’s an old untouched Country pub, not many of them left and it like a pub should be, locals stood at the bar and very welcoming.….. I was a little dubious at first looking on their website because of the low prices, in comparison to other pubs and restaurants that we have visited previously….. I was TOTALLY wrong…. The food was out of this World, EVERYTHING served in this little Gem is all homemade and you can really tell the difference, they were the best ‘proper’ chips we’ve ever had and they tasted exactly like my Nanna Smyth used to make….. I’ve found the next best to her chips and that’s saying something🥰. We went straight to entrées; We both had the same: ‘Brown Cow Pie’, with proper chips, the veg was cabbage and sliced carrots, both cooked perfectly al dente. The Pie was packed with thick chunks of braised steak, it fell apart, so lean, no fat at all and it literally melted in your mouth, covered in thick rich gravy and covered with a beautiful short crust pastry top….the plates were full of generous portions. We had a bucket of salt and pepper proper chips to share, along with Pepsi Max to wash it down. The two young Ladies serving us, Milan and Sienna were professional, had impeccable manners, they were rushed off their feet as it was lunchtime but always had a smile, they definitely know their jobs and do it very well. Behind the scenes is a very big thank you to the chefs….. your food is amazing, no room for improvement as it’s already perfect. We have found this hidden gem and will be back very soon, I would strongly recommend you book a table beforehand as the place was full within 10 minutes of us being seated…. It’s up there in our top 5…. So! would we go back?? Without a doubt YES, YES…

Very friendly super fast service the food was out of this world 🌎 if you love burgers like me then this is definitely the place

Ordered from here as a take away and we were SO impressed with the quality of the burgers even after travelling. Also, the call to let us know the food was coming was great service!

Absolutely amazing! Just done a food review for national burger day. Follow for more... Facebook: Wolf By Design YouTube: wolfbydesign84

It's a great place to eat, if you like Italian food, you won't be disappointed. Friendly service on the top of everything. Will come back again for sure.

Lovely Italian, all well seasoned and delicious, very friendly staff first time visit and won't be the last, recommend!

First visit, lunchtime, very impressed very friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, really enjoyed our meal just found my main a little salty but that's down to personal taste. A little quiet for a Friday I was surprised it wasn't a little busier. Nice ambience, music on but at a nice volume so you can have a conversation. I would recommend without hesitation. However, having family members who are vegetarian I noticed that there isn't much choice on the menu. Maybe worth checking if you plan a visit that there is something to suit your taste.

Always excellent food, very welcoming and comfortable. The staff are all friendly. Quick service. Can definitely recommend

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

Went for breakfast buffet which was excellent quality and value.We had 2 unlimited breakfast with unlimited coffees and orange juice for £20. staff were very friendly and helpful and the restaurant as recently been renovated and is very bright and modern.Will definitely be returning soon.

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.

Lovely staff very good vibe of the restaurant was to busy the food was excellent 👌 and the staff in the restaurant were extremely friendly and didn't rush you to order overall good price and lovely restaurant

It was our first time here and it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. It was a lovely and friendly atmosphere, staff were very nice too. Will definitely be returning👍🏽

Absolutely our of this world customer service. Our dessert order didn't go through because of Internet signal and instead they put the order through for us at the table and then said it was on them. I explained how i had just been to my grandmas funeral and that the gesture was greatly appreciated considering the mood of the day.

Stuart was super warm and made it a very nice atmosphere! The food was hot and cooked perfectly (as per usual!) super tasty and everything was nice and clean. My favourite Nando’s is this branch due to the kindness and passion from all the team who work here 🫶🏻

The staff are always so cheerful and patient The food was at least as good as normal, which is very good Fairly quiet so food was amazingly quick, seemed to be less than 5 minutes Sort of my annual meal out when my daughter and her hubby come to stay between Christmas and New Year, so I always remember it 😀 Cost was less than £20 per head, including refillable soft drinks, which seems very reasonable these days

I visited this restaurant on 22 December 24 with my wife and granddaughters. The food was good, the restaurant was clean and tidy. However the best aspect of our visit was the exceptional service we received. All of the staff were smart, tidy, friendly, helpful, smiley and very efficient. Probably the best service we have experienced in any restaurant for some considerable time. Thank you and well done. Ray

The atmosphere was made the better with the company I was with but I must say that the service delivered by the staff at the venue was excellent. We were on a works meal and this location is ideal because it's local for all of us. We found the prices of the food to be good at £17.95 for a starter and a main and in my case I went doulble for a small addition and it was worth it.

I had a lovely meal nice hot food always enjoyed the salad bar always refreshing feel very relax completely comfortable 👌

A classic Weatherspoons experience in the historical town of Leigh. Absolutely no complains to be had from my end of the stick. Well kept beer and food that you would expect from a weatherspoons. Fast service and friendly staff. What more can one man ask for when visiting an establishment such as this.

A very popular restaurant in UK, you can spend a whole day inside it, the food provided is very good. Britain's favorite restaurant for us.
