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

Me and a few girls from work went for food and drinks on Thursday 1st August. They had a fantastic 2 course meal deal for £15.99 I think. We booked our table for 5pm we had a drink and poppadoms first then we orderd our meal. Food came quick. Food was really tasty and decent sized portion we couldn't eat it all. We had finished our 2 course by 6.10pm we ordered more drinks and then we got desert girls had ice cream I had Martini Espresso. Next thing we know it's 8.40pm. We had our food and drinks outside as the weather was really nice and we knew we would be loud with all the laughing we do. Was a fantastic night. So much so I booked our next visit before we left. Waiting on staff were fantastic really attentive up for a laugh and a joke with you. Especially Hasam who was really friendly and chatty.

Great food and great service everytime I come. If you want a reliable and the best curry in the area then this is the place.

I had the beef chilli tacos, and wow, the portion was huge! The tacos had melted cheese, beef chilli, radishes and pink onions, all three were full of filling. There was nicely flavoured rice on the side too, and a side salad. The soured cream dip was nice too, coming from someone who doesn't like soured cream! It was only £13.75; great value for money. Service was fast and staff were polite. Good atmosphere too: every table got a sombrero!

Lovely building and a really nice restaurant. The food was really nice with lots of flavours and colours like you would expect from a Mexican but my only critique is I like spicy food and asked for it to be hot but unfortunately it was very mild. Other than that we really enjoyed it

Amazing service and perfect food. We love our every visit in La Sentidos Loca. Never felt disappointed. Today we have visited La Iguanas and all I must say.. Sentidos Loca is definitely our favourite!

Absolutely amazing food, went here on a whim after typing tacos near me on google. Did not disappoint, large portions and tastes amazing. If you like spicy food I suggest taking some hot sauce or asking for some as food is mild, but tastes amazing.

The Holts Arms is fairly local to us. A traditional pub restaurant with a reasonable size car park. It's a good choice for eating or dropping in just for a drink. The menu is quite varied with some common favourites, including battered cod and homemade chips, to homemade burgers and steaks. Unfortunately, the steak wasn't available on our last visit, so we had grilled chicken skewers on nan (gluten-free), which was well prepared and full of flavour. The staff (and cook) went out of their way to accommodate a gluten-free option for myself. If you are coeliac then this pub is listed as gluten friendly rather than certified gluten free so they will prepare dishes with gluten free ingredients but it's prepared in the same kitchen as gluten containing food, so no guarantees, but I was absolutely fine with this arrangement. Recommended.

Everything about this experience was fantastic. Thank you to the team. Brilliant service, absolutely fantastic food. Peaceful and lovely environment. Had a lovely meal for family visiting from the lakes. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you again, we will be back again soon.

Great pub that I have not visited before. Lovely location, plenty of parking. Staff were great and food was lovely. I ordered the really dirty fries, really big sharer, the meat and the cheeses tasted great. My friend had the salmon that she also loved. Would highly recommend a visit.

Lovely evening spent in the Holts Arms celebrating my friends 50th birthday. Attentive staff, cosy atmosphere, great menu selection. I enjoyed the smaller portion of fish and chips, very generous portions . Very tasty homemade food. Definitely 100% recommend

Absolutely amazing experience! It was a delightful surprise. The cozy, inviting atmosphere made it the perfect spot for a relaxing meal. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient, making great recommendations for both food and drinks! The dishes arrived really quickly, and each one was simply delicious. I could not recommend it enough!

What a lovely place we couldn't have felt more welcome! And the food and service were exemplary, thank you gary,I would highly recommend going here! We had afternoon tea here and it was lovely the soup and extra touches make this the best we've had as a group and was amazing value. The other food going past all looked/ smelled amazing. We will be back here what a find!

Don't sleep on this place. It was super quiet which is baffling as this is one of the best eateries in Wigan. Food was quick, fresh and very tasty. No frozen muck. Service was very friendly and prompt. We'll be back very soon! Thank you!

Amazing food and wonderful staff. Restaurant is lovely. Marking atmosphere as 4* only due to how loud it was (which is to be expected) but I'm sensitive to noise and it affected my experience. Can't fault the staff, they were perfect. Whoever was working 5th Aug in the evening are awesome.

This wonderful pub serves quality wine and an array of quality drinks and cocktails. The food is excellent and the service is both friendly and attentive. On our latest visit, we tried the 'Chippy Tea' night and were not disappointed! Lots of chip shop favourites were on offer on the menu. The dishes were very well presented and all of them were absolutely delicious renditions of traditional chippy fare. Can't wait for the next one! The price was very reasonable and our spend included drinks before the meal, two bottles of wine with the meal and a nightcap at the end.

Been to the Fox quite a few times now and never been disappointed Lovely Atmosphere All the staff were brilliant and friendly Even though it was a busy Saturday night We were truly blown away The food was pure quality From the Scotch egg starters yum yum To the amazing and well cooked to perfection steaks You simply blew us both away Amazing dining experience Massive Well done to all involved You really made our night extra special Be Back Soon Thank You From Us Both 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Ate here with my wife and son a few weeks ago. I found the food to be great and very tasty and the staff were very attentive. Great experience all round. We will definitely return

A lovely gastro pub with delicious food and great service. The only reason I didn't give 4* for atmosphere is I have hearing aids and everywhere people have piped music which makes listening to those I'm dining with difficult.

We came here for a birthday meal, 3 adults and 2 young boys. Staff were so nice and friendly and took the time to talk to the boys which made their evening. Food was amazing, portion sizes were incredible. Definitely be back again.

A nice restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere, although a little quiet but it was a Thursday night before the Christmas rush. Main courses were all (4) excellent. Starters, not quite as much. Mozzarella sticks were bland and small for the price. A smaller plate, bigger sticks and better presentation would have helped. The bread and oil was something of a disaster. The Olive oil was put in the same dish as the Balsamic Vinegar. The Balsamic sunk to the bottom, as it is heavier than the oil. So despite the best dipping efforts, all you got at every attempt was olive oil. I pointed it out on the night so hopefully it will be sorted out for the future.

My wife and I decided to try a vegan Bolognaise at home as I am housebound with illness. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and courteous, catering to our every need. The food was authentic and tasty and the price was reasonable. We will definitely come back again soon as there are other dishes we would like to try. Excellent service, thank you Nuovo Sorrentos.

Perfect 50th birthday meal! Thank you to this restaurant for making my special day even better with a beautiful meal great atmosphere and brilliant service. The restaurant was busy but the staff went about their business efficiently with smiles on their faces ensuring everyone was happy and having a great time! For a party of 20 they made sure all meals arrived at the same time and every single one of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The way the staff joined in with the singing and dancing to happy birthday was a lovely touch! One member of staff at the bar had some great dance moves! Haha a very warm and welcoming setting with a great menu! We shall definitely be returning!

Nice destination for a ride out, open water swimming or diving. Great value food in the cafe served by friendly staff.

Lovely little pub. I’ve been to the Delph many times over the years at different ages and I’ve always loved it! Friendly atmosphere and staff. Large selection of drinks. Not had food here so can’t comment on that but I’d imagine it’s nice!

The food was delicious. One of the best salads I’ve ever had here in UK. They are very friendly and kind. Lovely place. ❤️

Lovely pub and excellent food. Brilliant different menu. Great service.

I usually come on Thirsty Thursdays for the two for one drinks and occasionally try the food. Today I ordered the mega mixed grill and was more than impressed. I will be coming again as the portion size was great. The service of the waiter Sam went above and beyond bringing knifes and forks and tasty food.

2nd visit & won't be the last. Lovely, friendly lady serving. Drink prices reasonable. Comfy pub.

Wow very impressed all round - food, service and value for money. Great choice on menu, both food and drinks, great atmosphere! The food was cooked to perfection and well presented, good service and although it was busy there was no long wait for food, staff friendly and efficient. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and will definitely be back again.

All round a decent experience for a peak Sunday tea time. Food was good both from the kitchen and plentiful from the carvery. Desserts were mainly sold out by 1730 though so either go earlier or try and order with your mains. Service was good, and food delivered quickly. Pleasant enough experience to go again at some point.

Lovely midweek carvery, food was hot and I managed to fill my plate full of veg, potatoes, meat and Yorkshire pudding! Stacey, Libby and Kelly provided great customer service and ensured everything was to a high standard .

Ohhh, I had the most amazing service yesterday at Primrose. I had the delicious fudge cake and custard. I should took a picture put on here but I was enjoying my food so much. I took my sister with me also and she enjoyed her food too. I know we get service each time we go, but I have to say I have never had such service in my life let alone at this restaurant. Her name was Karen Lyon, but my sister said her name was Cheryl. But I got told Karen. Nothing was too much trouble for Karen. She wasn't constantly in your face like some are, left us to enjoy our food and even kindly asked if she could help or get us anything. Of which we did and was brought to us right away. Can't thank Primrose Enough for lovely food and employing such a lovely lady who shone out above others Many Thanks for createing such an awesome atmosphere. An amazing service by Karen Lyon. Makes one want to return again and again Many Thanks 🙂
