The award of a Michelin Bib Gourmand in January 2007 was the latest accolade for The Waggon At Birtle on Bury and Rochdale Old Road. Chef proprietor David Watson came from a Michelin-starred background (ex-Pool Court in Leeds) and returned to his roots to open the Waggon with wife Lorraine in 2002. Housed in a former pub, the premises were completely refurbished to create a smart 50-cover bistro with a 25-cover function room above. The food is Modern British with a slight French influence but relies heavily on fresh local produce; hence dishes like the Tempura of Chadwick's Bury black pudding with Lancashire cheese, apple and bacon and mustard vinaigrette. The main a la carte menu (7 starters, 7 mains, 7 desserts) changes every three months whilst the good-value Market Menu is updated every fortnight. They also offer a lunch time light bites menu in addition to daily specials from the a la carte. The wine list has a good choice of 50 bins with 12 by the glass plus a featured guest wine. It is open Wednesday to Friday 6pm-9.30pm, Thursday & Friday 12-2pm, Saturday 6pm-10pm and Sunday 12-8pm. Awards | Michelin Bib Gourmand | Good Food Guide 3
