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

We visited for the first time this evening after it had been recommended and I can see why! Everything we had was absolutely delicious. The menu is very comprehensive so we were spoiled for choice. At least that means we have lots of new choices for our next visit! The staff are wonderful and so friendly. It was my husband's birthday and they even finished off with a treat for him. We will be back here soon I am sure. Thank you for a wonderful meal.

My husband and I both ordered from the premium set menu and we couldn't fault it. We didn't manage to get any photographs of the food because we just tucked straight in, it was delicious! Service was great and staff were happy and friendly. We will definitely be back again. Thank you for a lovely dinning experience.

We came for a family birthday. The food and service were excellent. First time we have been but will definitely come back. The staff are so helpful and polite. Nothing is to much trouble for them.

Nice and chip.. the service is good.. the restaurant is clean and smell nice recipion people is very very helpful very friendly they can do what ever you ask .. thank you gibin 🙏

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.

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

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

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.

What an amazing place! We have been here so many times and consider it our local so when we were planning our wedding it was our first choice! The staff helped us plan every step of our day and were always on hand to answer any of our questions. They allowed us to set up the venue the day before and helped us make everything perfect! On the day all the staff exceeded our expectations! They were so kind, helpful, and amazing! The food was outstanding and they created the chilled and relaxed wedding we had dreamed of! We cannot thank them enough and would recommend them to anyone considering a wedding venue. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Love this place so much. Been there a few times and we’re so lucky to have a place like this on our doorstep - so not having to venture into Liverpool or Manchester for a similar vibe! With various rooms/areas it caters for if you want a quieter social drink, or if you’re after more of a party atmosphere - or in a larger group - there’s the bottomless brunches and also live bands. The brunches are great value so very popular so it can often get very busy and loud! There’s an impressive range of food and I thought that for their price positioning the food exceeded expectation and the range of drinks is very good as well. It’s a family ran place and the management and staff are flat out but go out of their way to look after you. They’ve gone the extra mile several times when we’ve been there. You’ll see from the reviews nearly everyone gives 5 stars and they’ve earned this! There can be delays when they are at their busiest - but that can be said of anywhere - so bear this in mind if you’re heading there on the busiest days. The live entertainment is beyond top drawer! They had a live singer/guitarist last time we were there and in no time he had us up dancing and joining in, taking requests and playing new songs and old. I’ve had some of my best nights in recent years at the cabinet! The busier days/nights won’t suit everyone but I can’t recommend it enough and i can’t wait to be there again!

Second time here. We came for my mother’s 81st Birthday celebrations. As last time food was fantastic drinks same. The service was quick friendly and efficient. Only reason it doesn’t get a 5 for me is the Racket. We want to talk and enjoy each others company and with the loud music this made all the people in there shout to each other to be heard and we all couldn’t hear each other talk.

Myself, partner and Dad went for Sunday Roast yesterday and it was delicious. One had beef and the other two the Trio which was so tasty and so much of it that none of use could actually finish it all. I was thinking not having been for a while, that quality may have changed but it was just as good. Thank you again!

A great venue. Excellent food and wonderful attentive staff. Extensive choice from the menu (mixed starter highly recommended) and a complete range of curry temperatures. The venue has a good vibe with the opportunity to open the doors to a nice patio area for when the warmer weather arrives.

Great service and wonderful staff. The food was amazing

Excellent service! Food is lovely. Staff even came out with a cake for my sons 18th.

Visited the Grand Holdi almost 2 years ago on its extravagant opening night - totally awesome! Finally got the time/opportunity to go back tonight & it was still AMAZING!! Food is out of this world 😋 service is 2nd to none, staff truly exceptional & now, with Covid, the thorough cleaning that I witnessed in & around the restaurant was commendable & admiral 👍So to sum up Grand Holdi is doing a fantastic job on all levels through these unprecedented times to ensure that we can eat astonishing food in a totally safe environment 👍 Congratulations to everybody & hopefully it won't be another 2 years before I get the chance to visit again 🙄 Thankyou to all for a lovely evening 😁

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

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 🫶🏻

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.

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

Clean environment, friendly staff, good soft music to go with your tasty food.

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.

Had great service from the staff here. We had to wait a little to be seated but staff were very pleasant and informative. It was quite busy when we arrived. We got standard vegetarian carveries and there was plenty of food we couldn’t finish it and the cheese and onion pie was delicious. The coffee were a little burnt but you get refills and the second coffee was much better. Parsnips were also amazing and would highly recommend for a decent feed at a reasonable price. It is very family friendly which meant it was a bit noisy but good to bring the family if you have one. Restaurant was pretty clean however one of the tea spoon holders could have done with a deep clean. Overall 5 star experience for a good hearty meal, friendly and great staff and a decent price.

This pub has everything you will need for a good meal. The service was excellent. It was fast and friendly. The breakfast I was served both looked good and tasted fantastic. This pub is dog friendly. There is a good quality, ample sized car park.

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

I witnessed an elderly man unfortunately having an issue with his health yesterday evening in this pub. The manager & assistant manager was exemplary in how quickly they responded & handled this situation. We often criticise … but this incident needs highlighting & recognising for me & how the management, door staff etc responded. Well done, great work to those staff.

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.
