Very good food, full of flavours, generous portions, great value for money. Good selection of drinks. Lovely touch at the end was shot of bailays on The house and blast from the past uncle Joe's mint balls😍 The staff were very friendly and checked on us several times throughout the evening. The dried ice mist before the main course was mesmerizing. Bookings in advance advised a very popular place. We will go back, thank you for the great service.

Seen this new place was packed couldn’t get a table wait was long so asked for snack to take away. The bao buns were an absolute treat soft, fluffy, and perfectly paired with the crispy, flavorful chicken filling. The chicken was cooked to perfection, with a crunchy coating and juicy, tender meat inside, complemented by the tangy and slightly spicy sauce. The balance of textures and flavors in this dish is spot on. Can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu

The restaurant is very tastefully decorated and very clean, staff are lovely- very friendly. The food is delicious- big portions- I had Biriani and couldn’t finish it - but it was delicious - and they did offer to box it up so we could take it home. Hubby had one of the chefs recommendations (hot, smoky, South Indian curry) which he said was delicious. We will definitely be going back, the prices are very reasonable as well.

We ordered online and collected in person. Everything was absolutely spot on! The food was hot, delicious and most definitely one of the best Indians meals we’ve had! Everything was very fresh, there’s nothing bad I could say about this restaurant! We will be dining in next time at the vent looks unique and welcoming! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone that likes their Indian food!

We had an early Valentine's meal for two at Pandora Indian Restaurant, and it was absolutely delightful! The food was incredibly tasty, with each dish bursting with rich and authentic flavors. The atmosphere was equally impressive, providing a warm and inviting setting perfect for a romantic evening. Highly recommend this gem in Littleborough for a special dining experience!

I recently attended a work meal at Bellavista with around 30 colleagues, and I must say, the experience was absolutely stellar! We booked for an early evening on a bustling Saturday, and despite the crowd, the service was prompt and efficient, thanks to the fantastic team. The food selection catered wonderfully to both adults and children in our group, offering a wide array of choices that left no one wanting. The staff were notably attentive, ensuring our drinks and meal orders were taken and served without any delay. As a wheelchair user, I was particularly impressed with the accessibility of the venue, which provided a ramp for easy access. The quality of the food was top-notch, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the menu to anyone looking for a delightful dining experience. Bellavista truly deserves a 5-star rating!

Wow! What can I tell you? What a place - we were booked in (30+ of us) on a Saturday night. The place was packed! At least another table of 30 on our floor, another function downstairs plus walk ins. Service was fantastic and fairly prompt for such a large group, food was incredible, tasty and fresh, the beer was good too! The staff were excellent and despite clearly being extremely busy and at times stressed they were friendly and jovial. Absolutely would recommend! For a function or a nice meal.

We booked here for a family meal to celebrate our daughter’s 21st. As always the food was amazing, the service was fantastic and there was a real warm atmosphere. Having been here before, we were very well looked after by Mark who always provides outstanding service. A lovely meal to end a weekend of celebrations.

We have been several times as a family for meals and they are always delicious. We recently held our mums surprise 60th here and I can’t speak highly enough of everyone at the Cedar Tree, especially Rachel. She was so helpful and accommodating, helped us with planning from the get go and was open to all our crazy ideas!! Helped us with everything even organising entertainment and drinks on arrival for guests. On the night the team were all fantastic and took care of everything so it was seamless. The Buffett was phenomenal with fresh tasty dishes not your average beige selection. We’ve been back for dinner again since and wouldn’t hesitate to host another event here. A huge thanks to Rachel and the full team 💛

Came across this place on a whim, and wow! The steak was cooked to perfection for both the Sirloin (Rare) and Fillet (Medium-Rare), topped with Blue Cheese sauce, and the salad was drizzled in a delicious sauce. The table also had heavily favoured reviews for the Sea Bass and the Homemade Classic Burger. For dessert, I had the Chocolate Fudge Gateau, and it was so good that it didn't last long on the plate. The service was exceptional, very friendly, and quick to serve with food and drinks. The place was also very clean, considering it's a bar, especially the toilets.

We had our daughter’s 1st birthday party here last week and it was lovely! The food was amazing and had something for everyone, there was more than enough for everyone also. It’s a great place for families, we had small children there and they were able to walk around without feeling like they were getting in the way. Rachel is so lovely and made sure everything was sorted, thank you so much!

An absolute gem of a restaurant! Every Friday night, it’s our go-to spot with the boys, and it never fails to impress. From the moment you walk in, the staff greet you with warm smiles and make you feel right at home. Their hospitality is second to none—always attentive, friendly, and eager to ensure your experience is top-notch. The food? Simply divine. The starters are bursting with flavor and beautifully presented, setting the tone for the meal. Whether it’s their sizzling platters, perfectly seasoned dishes, or their fresh, vibrant salads, every bite is an explosion of taste. The mains are just as exceptional, offering a wide variety of dishes that cater to all preferences. The atmosphere adds to the experience—lively yet cozy, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed Friday night. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience we look forward to every week. If you haven’t been, you’re seriously missing out!

Absolutely amazing place! The atmosphere, vibe, and music create the perfect setting, making it an incredible experience from start to finish. The food is on another level everything is packed with flavor, but their in-house lamb chops are truly to die for. Tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, they’re a must try. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food and an even better ambiance!

First time coming here and really impressed. Very clean and great service. Speciality are the steaks and ended up ordering the steak burger after Tiger Prawns as a starter and you can really tell the difference between a gourmet burger compared to a frozen patty. The meat was very succulent and well made. Yes it does cost quite a bit more than what you will pay from a local takeaway, however, the quality of the food is much better.

Checked out @tribezsteakgrill in Rochdale and it was worth the trip! Pretty cool nice and spacious steak house and grill. I didn't get the best steak experience as they sold out on my favorite cut - ribeye so tried the t bone instead which was still decent. Best was their peri peri - especially the wings. Their peri flavour wasn't anything generic. Really good and flavourful. The 6 winglets for £6 is a must try! Even their peri butterfly chicken was great. Burgers were pretty decent but I'd focus on their peri peri items which ere fantastic!

We visited this restaurant for the first time. We were welcomed and seated straight away We weren't rushed to order and had plenty of time to decide what we wanted The lady took our order then we were served woth our food in good time Over all as a whole everything looked very appealing and appraising Everything came hot The taste was nice but unfortunately it was to chilly which put most of us off the meal made the meal for some to much to eat So just a quick pointer, please do let them know what level of spice you would like as we weren't we didn't say either. The environment was pleasing to the eye but it was very dull and dark Over all it was very pleasant to have such an amazing experience as I enjoyed the taste even the spice Thanks again will be coming again next time keeping in mind the spice level tho 😉

Great little pub tucked away in the heart of Littleborough. If you like craft beer (and cider), you'll love it here! The beer choices are always spot on and the beer is kept and pours really well. The food is my area of contention with this place. It's great quality and interesting and ever changing (part of the problem when you have something you really like and then it's not there anymore) but it can't quite decide what it wants to be. Personally, I loved the pie, scotch eggs, pork crackling et al bar snacks they came back with after lock down. I felt it complimented the beer and atmosphere really well. Great quality, hearty food with super beer to match. One to watch food-wise but I wholeheartedly recommend it for the beer alone.

Well worth the short walk from the town centre to this fine micro bar which is also an Untappd Verified Venue. They’ve nailed it with modern, classic cask ales - Vocation Bread & Butter, Cloudwater Happy to name just two. The beer garden with its chalets look amazing. The photos in the digital Good Beer Guide certainly do not do this bar justice.

Lovely little place, once we found it tucked away off the road. Breakfast was lovely, plenty on the plate and all quality ingredients. However the 50 minute wait and the fact the place was really cold was a bit off putting. Would deffo go again though if in the area but would probably ring the order through first 🤣

First time visiting The Rake. We were looking for a local tapas restaurant to celebrate a special occasion. They were really accommodating when or numbers changed. We wanted a full evening out and that's what we had, lovely food and plenty of it. Served as it was cooked, no rush and great service for drinks. Two of our party chose the butchers board from the special menu. The steak looked amazing and was fantastic value for the food they received.
