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

I highly recommend the wild grill... I always have the salt and pepper squid starter and the beef brisket ramen bowl... and it is always top quality, piping hot and delicious fresh food. They have an open kitchen so you can watch them cook your food fresh. The staff are so friendly and will always have a chat with you. By far the best takeaway in leigh for me 👍

OMG! TOO TOO GOOD!!! We randomly ordered through Just Eat and OMG... The ramen broth is deep and rich, the beef..like it was born with flavouring!! What did you guys do to the cow?? 🤣 And then we tried the beef rib burger. The bone just slides off smoothly, the meat 12/10, just perfect! Better burger than Almost Famous. Really. Next, we had the Southern Fried Chicken Bao. I promise you this review is not endorsed, but omg you guys, what are you doing in Leigh?? (But PLEASE STAY) Last but not least, the fries (or chips, for u brits) made it through the delivery and still so crispy it woke up our dog! We dipped the fries into the heavenly peppercorn sauce, which i could drink like a shot! It was seriously THE BEST dinner in bed for us! Next time we'll come there. Promise. Thank you. We love you!!

Ordered here for the first time today, both me and my husband got beef brisket ramen and it was nice. The only downfall was that on their website where I placed the order, there was no description as to what was in the dish. It was full of spring onions and dried onions (both of which I don’t like) and if I had known this I certainly wouldn’t have ordered this dish. Overall it was still warm when it was delivered and the taste was very nice.

This is the best place in Leigh for food, it’s all cooked in front of you. From burgers, steak to katsu curry and rice bowls. I’ve been coming here for two years and it’s always 5 star.

Great little Turkish restaurant, nothing to fancy but well cooked food and that was really tasty. My boys loved their mixed grill. Went for the wine from Turkey , young and fresh and a nice little drink. Best Turkish restaurant I've been to in the Southend area over the last few years. Only downside was the panacotta just a bit to firm. Would highly recommend.

Enjoyed a fantastic early evening meal here with my 3 teenage children last week. The service was welcoming and courteous and the food was absolutely top notch. Very nice décor, too. Not even the mean old hag sitting on another table across from us clicking her fingers at the waitresses and speaking to them like dirt could dampen what was a great evening all round. Thank you, Troya. Will be returning for sure!

This was genuinely the best tasting Turkish/Mediterranean Restaurant I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. The waitress gave recommendations and was super friendly. In terms of atmosphere/cleanliness the restaurant was also spot on. Most importantly, the food was exquisite. It tasted hearty, homemade and fresh.

I took my sister here for her birthday for the lunch special! Firstly the 2 courses for 12.99 was a bargain. The food itself was delicious. I had the moussaka and it was so tasty and a good portion size for a lunch special. I would highly recommend! We will definitely be back soon.

The food here is amazing. The service is friendly and professional. Had afternoon tea here yesterday and was delicious. My friend has a wheat intolerance and they couldn’t do enough. Her afternoon tea was the best she’s ever had. So nice to have such a quality place in Leigh. Can’t recommend enough.

Absolutely fantastic breakfast. The staff were very friendly and efficient, and breakfast was cooked to perfection. The coffee was also excellent.

My first visit and it was absolutely gorgeous! Had an amazing brunch with babies and prams. I felt very welcome and the food was amazing. Xx

Lovely cafe with paybyphone carpark right outside. £1.30 for 2 hours. (EDIT: enter reg once in cafe and it’s free). Afternoon tea was fresh and delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed it with our Xmas gift voucher. Got a box to go as couldn’t finish the cakes. One of the nicest afternoon tea’s I’ve had. Nice friendly welcome. Was busy but still had a nice chilled atmosphere. Baby changing facilities available. Would definitely recommend. Food and cakes all looked lovely.

The experience was superb for us…it was home away from home with tasty meals and the service was top notch…definitely addicted to this place 💯🥰🥰

I would definitely come back again and recommend it to my friends anyone Excellent service and food, which are so mouth-watering

Food was well cooked and seasoned to perfection, the martini was very nice and the staff were very friendly.

Nice African mouth watering food,they offer a good range of cocktails also very welcoming and relaxing atmosphere .

Yesterday, I tried their amiss Daisy Burger and it is nothing like you see in normal take away shops. One of best burgers I have eat in my life. Return following day to try different burger on menu. Thank you for this amazing food.

I phoned Wild Flame and ordered 2 meals for takeaway in which I collected within 20 minutes of calling I got The Cassanova and The Mama Mia. I had the Mama Mia and the burger was juicy, tasty and above my expectations the only let down was the fries as I found some of them a little undercooked but the seasoning was lovely so this is the reason I given my meal 4 out of 5 stars. If the chips were cooked fully it would have achieved a full 5 other than that I will definitely buy from Wild Flame in future due to the excellent friendly service and the lovely burger which I will 110% order again

What a delightful experience! Delicious burgers and fried, right in the centre of Leigh! Highly 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.

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

As this was our first visit, we decided to try the Early Bird Menu (5-6pm, Tue-Fri) of three courses for £26.85 per person and a bottle of house red wine £19.95. The food was absolutely delicious and good portion sizes. I initially thought the price for the house red wine was a little expensive. However, it was very good. The staff were very polite and attentive and we weren't rushed at all. We will definitely be going back.

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).

Good food well priced and friendly service

Just wanted to leave a review to focus on an amazing staff member! Kim is amazing! Always welcoming with a smile and incredibly helpful. She consistently goes the extra mile to ensure a great experience every time I visit the Bowling Green. The food is always fantastic, and it’s the perfect spot to come after work for delicious meals and drinks. Such a great atmosphere!

Exceptional service friendly and attentive staff. Food was excellent well presented and very tasty. Loved how they looked after families with their dogs how they straightaway brought a bowl of water for the dog. It was lovely to see and hear the interactions with regulars. Will definitely be coming back. It was a excellent experience and I can't recommend the pub to anyone

First ever time going in and can't say anything negative, great food at a good price. Decent enough selection of beer on draught, something for pretty much every one.

Leigh Bistro is an absolute gem in Leigh-on-Sea! This family-run restaurant offers an authentic Mediterranean dining experience with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food is outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. From the perfectly seasoned dishes to the generous portions, you can really taste the love and passion that goes into every meal. The service is just as wonderful, with the family making you feel like a valued guest. If you’re looking for delicious Mediterranean cuisine in a cozy and friendly setting, Leigh Bistro is a must-visit. Can’t wait to come back!

Visited on a Thursday evening for my father’s birthday. Unfortunately there was some kind of fund raising event going on that we weren’t informed about so the restaurant was completely packed and very loud. Absolutely no problem with people raising money for good causes but we would have picked another venue to have a quiet birthday meal, had we been warned beforehand. That being said, the service was still fine, although the mains took a long time to come out, but the food was excellent. We had the Tempura Pork Belly and the Goats Cheese and Beetroot tart to start, both were very good. For mains my father had the lamb shank which he very much enjoyed. My partner had the duck breast on the bed of noodles which, although looked rather bland in its presentation, I’m assured was delicious. I went for the Sirloin steak which was cooked the way I wanted and very generously portioned and was served with a superb peppercorn sauce. My favourite part of the meal though was undoubtedly the dessert! The Belgian waffle with ice cream was amazing, can’t recommend it highly enough. Good food and reasonably priced. We will certainly visit again but hopefully on a quieter evening.

I had the ribeye steak was cooked to chefs recommendations. It was lovely. I highly recommend this place. The staff were lovely. The food was brilliant and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Definitely returning

Went to Leigh Bistro for my birthday dinner. Food was absolutely amazing. Charming service, can’t wait to return!

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…

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 😊
