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

Great food, and plenty of it so usually end up bringing some home. Been going for years and the management and service has never failed to impress.

Great place to visit with mates for a cracking Ruby Murray! There is a large menu with lots of varied dishes to choose from that caters for all curry lovers. If only to be nit picky, one of the chocolates that arrived with the bill had a full wrapper on it… but no chocolate inside! It’s fair to say one of the lads (pictured in one of my photos) was not at all happy about this!

Food is great, never had a bad meal. Service is ok. They have a tendency to remove plates whilst people in your party are still eating which is a minor annoyance.

Easily the best Indian restaurant in the area. Been here for a sit down meal on several occasions. This evening, I had my first take-away and the quality is as consistent as dining in the restaurant. Menu has lots of good options so there is something for everyone. They even offer a 20% discount on all takeaway orders when you collect them in person and I cannot believe the value for money for all of the food I ordered. The food was ready when I arrived 20 minutes after ordering, as promised and the person serving me was very friendly and welcoming. Overall, excellent food and great service. Will definitely come here again.

Lovely ambience, friendly atmosphere and service. Food absolutely delicious, lamb shanks and vegetables cooked to perfection. Been a few times and would happily highly recommend.

Went to laguna for my birthday last night. Food was lovely. Seven of us and we all enjoyed the food. Would definitely recommend and go again. Prices were reasonable as well.

Great food and immaculate service. Came here for my brother’s birthday and they treated him and my family so well. Will definitely be back 😇

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

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.

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.

Been to the Boathouse a few times mainly for a drink or popped in when cycling on the canal. First time we’ve had a meal since the new owners took over and we were well impressed! Fabulous atmosphere, traditional pub classics menu. And dog friendly too! George was greeted with treats and lots of cuddles! What more could you ask for! Will definitely be back!

Had lunch here today with my mum and dad and daughter. The lunch menu is a bargain and is a good sized portion for lunch. My garlic chicken wrap was very tasty and well filled with chicken and salad. The 5 oz gammon was cooked to perfection and the fish and chips were tasty too. Not feeling like a big dessert we were going to have Mini dessert and hot drink. This was not on the menu due to restricted menu due to staff shortages, however, shoutout to India who made us a mini cheesecake and mini crumble herself. My dad was in his element drinking Black Sheep Bitter. Above and beyond with customer service. Can't wait to visit again.

Canal side pub with good choice of drinks and pub-style food. Staff are very welcoming & friendly, they were very quick with food service, really good to be given such individual service. Food was presented nicely, arrived hot and was tasty - burger with blue cheese & mushrooms was really good. My sister had the steak pie & mash which she said was full of lean tender beef. Her only criticism was the gravy tasted a little like ‘bisto’, if it had been made from the pie filling juices then that would have been more to her taste. Difficult to fault this place, £34 for the meal and drinks for two. Give it a try!

Great Pub! I Went Here Yesterday (from the time of posting) And The Service Was Great! The Staff Can Merge Sides And Mains Onto One Plate If Requested. The Staff Are Nice And Polite! And The Food Was Excellent, I Had The Cheese & Bacon Burger With Chilli Chips (you normally get skin on chips alongst your burger but you can ask for chilli chips ( 50p+)) And Trust Me It Was Great! I'd Recommend This Place :)

First time visiting The Woodside on New Year’s Eve 2024. What a fantastic experience! Janet (our waitress) definitely added her personal touch and is obviously a credit to your team. Both food AND drink were spot on Happy New Year to one of the BEST restaurants / pubs we’ve been too in a long time!

Had a lovely breakfast at The Woodside! Cozy atmosphere, tasty food, and friendly service. Perfect spot for a quick, satisfying start to the day. Will definitely be back! Janet and Sue were great.

Lovely Lunch today. Thank you to Liam, Emma & Lynn. The food was lovely and excellent service. Great food choice for children and the ice cream went down a treat!

Fantastic food and service, we really enjoyed our meal in Zest. We ordered loads of different starters and for the main we had king prawn curry and special mix thawa. It was absolutely delicious, so much flavour and taste. The service was on point and the overall experience was 10/10. I would highly recommend to family and friends.

So you are travelling down the East Lancs road and you see the Indian restaurant Zest. Turn in, park up and enjoy one of the best curries around. This place is awesome. Food is amazing. Portion sizes are fabulous. Presentation, taste and service are superb. On the bone, off the bone, popular curries and new curries all to try. I personally recommend the Lamb staff curry. You wont regret this golden nugget. Definitely our go to curry place from now on. Enjoy!!!!

Had a family meal kn Saturday night for 20 people staff were well organised and unfazed by large table we ordered meals and drinks in family names and paid on separate bills no problem for staff team food came quickly , generous pickle trays with poppadoms . Starters were all good portions and very tasty, we tried pakoras, puri and samosas. Main courses we chose were lamb karahi, prawn masalla,chicken tikka,fish curry. Pilau rice and garlic bread .all delicious

Really really impressed. Great food choice with 'small plates' meaning you can order tapas style, with the loaded chips being a twist on the traditional curry and chips offer. You could tell the food was freshly cooked and tasted fresh too. Great value too. Oh and the choice of pub music was spot on wanted to stay longer!

We can't rate this place enough! Would urge anyone in the Tyldesley area who has not yet been to book a table. Some of the tastiest food we've had in a long time, mixed with a relaxed atmosphere. We had the Valentines Menu and every course was amazing 👏🏻

Our first time here and we have loved it. We got a few starters so we could try various dishes and it fid not disappoint!! Michelle and the rest of the tram6were wonderful and the service was really quick.

The food is stunning. We’ve been a few time and ordered different dishes every time and never had a bad meal. And Michelle working front of house is a pleasure. She goes above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need. 10/10 all round!

Visited C&C with my parents who were visiting after been given two separate recommendations - it did not disappoint! Beautifully presented pub/bar area where we had a drink before heading through to the dining area for a meal. Fantastic atmosphere, one of the best I’ve experienced in some time in fact (Saturday night). Shared some small plates, the special of lobster ravioli was a real pick. Fillet steak (rare) cooked to perfection with an excellent pepper sauce. Smoked salmon and whipped feta - absolutely delicious. Scampi not bad, a little overdone and a touch dry. Steak sandwich was very well presented but the meat was of poor quality and very tough. Real shame on that one. I can’t imagine it usually is like this. Truffle mac and cheese wonderful. Truffle and Parmesan fries equally delicious. Wine list excellent - the Cairanne I fully recommend, good value at c. £36. Overall the food would have been a 4/5 given two slip ups but overall the experience would come to a 4.5/5 however as you can’t give half scores with google defo more to a 5 than a 4. Highly recommend. Will be back, and often!

Great breakfast on Saturday. They were really busy but the service was brilliant and food piping hot! Free filter coffee is a great bonus. We go regularly as it’s the best for food, value and friendly service.

I would highly recommend this pub restaurant. The food was excellent. I like cooking and am almost always disappointed when I eat out, not here though. I’d say this was the best pub food I’ve ever had. The service was lovely, not intrusive but ensured the customer is happy. Definitely up there with the best. My compliments to the chef.

I've only been there twice for breakfast and I'll definitely be back for dinner someday. I ordered bacon butty and it was perfectly made with crispy bacon from the grill. But there is also one minus that I found. You can't hold a flat white coffee cup. It is too heavy and uncomfortable. A tiny cup and you have to hold it with your both hands. The coffee itself is delicious without complaints. I recommend the Coal & Cotton and like to say thank you.

The service from the guy behind the bar was excellent. He offered my husband a taste of the new craft ale so he could decide if he wanted a pint of it. Very nice beer. It was easy to order the food and it came quite soon and was very tasty. Reasonable prices, cosy atmosphere, tidy bar and eating area.

Stopped by for a pre-New Year’s drink and bite to eat. Alicia and Tracy were cheerful and attentive, ensuring my friends and I were well taken care of. The food offered great value, and the drinks were reasonably priced. I would definitely return!

Tracey and her team do a brilliant job at making every visit to the Bulls Head an absolute pleasure, so much so it has become our 'go to' place now every Friday night when we go out to eat. We have tried quite a few of the options on the menu now and I can honestly say that we have thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them. Thanks guys, and keep up the good work!

This pub including everything about it is amazing. Afternoon calling so maybe quiet, the food was fantastic, I'm looking forward to bringing my sister and family, hope the same chef is on and staff. Very clean and portion sizes were good. Thank you for a nice meal whereby no microwave was in sight!
