Reviews in Bury

Tried to book a table at the Shoulder of Mutton, Holcombe, only to be told that they were closed as the kitchen was being re-fitted (re-opens 5th Feb). The young lady offered to book me in at their sister pub, the Victoria Hotel. We booked in with a little trepidation as we had heard the Shoulder was good but knew nothing of the Victoria. Well, had a fabulous evening! They have got the balance between pub and restaurant just right - retained a couple of small rooms around the bar for drinkers and small, separate dining room for diners. A good selection of real ales, reasonably priced wines by glass and bottle, good, friendly service from young bar and waiting staff. Menu had good mix of traditional English fayre, (Hot pot, fish & chips, etc) and more modern English cuisine - hare with ratatouille, pheasant. All excellent value for the money. Speaking to Andrew after the meal I can confirm it is in the same ownership as the Shoulder. Good luck to both establishment.

This place had potential but the service from senior staff is awful. We had numerous problems with an older male member of staff and finally wrote to the owner to complain after he shouted at us about something another table had done. The owner never even responded to the complaint. I loved the place initially but found the standards have dropped significantly. Have no intention of visiting again and I know many others who agree

Fabulous place, the food here is great. I tried their chicken donner and chips. Love it.

Excellent! Local family Chinese takeaway with very nice food and large portions. You've got to try the fried crispy shredded chicken ( a bit spicy) and the singapore noodles!! Gorgeous!! Always served with a smile! Definitely recommend!!

I do believe this has been taken over by the same people who have the Shoulder of mutton in holcombe village. The chef and his business partner own both. Both are great pubs to Dine in. Food fab.. Keep it up

went here on Sunday and it was excellent. recommend booking as they were turning people away before 7 who had not made reservations as they were busy. food delicious and good value, childrens menu fine, service friendly and unobtrusive but there when you needed it, worth the trip the young chef has got it spot on and the busy pub showed that. Will be back soon.

What a lovely place, stopped going to the Vic years ago (landlady was awful) but decided to give it a try because all my friends have said a lot of good things about it, definitely not disappointed, the food was as it states (real food) not microwave as you would find in most of the pubs in and around bury. Staff very polite and eager to make your evening as relaxing and enjoyable as they possibly can. I will be recommending the Victoria to many more of my friends and hope that some of the people that was put off when the rude landlady was there also give the Victoria a try, its just what Walshaw needs!!!

A visit here is well worth while and the queue reflects why its so popular.. This fish and chips shop is always clean and tidy, staff are fast and friendly, this is a real hit with the locals.. The parking is limited to across the road. The food is good value for money. I personally recommend, the donner meat and chips with salad and sauce. That is a real hit. I love their burgers too.

Good original old English fish & chip shop, no pizza no kebabs excellent food well recommended pay a visit.

i have eaten at many places around the north west but i have never tasted the finest home made food like here at Rajahs in bury on bolton road.Its out of this world and the staff are great especially mr.Imran who welcomes the customer with great respect and i was made to feel at home.Also you can view the chef making your food in front of your eyes.While you have a free cup of coffee!I would never go anywhere else than Rajahs of bury. Weldon mr.Imran and the staff at the Rajahs of Bury! Your JUST GREAT!

had a lovely night out at jewel in the crown. food delicious, staff polite, beautiful interior very clean

very disappointed food suspected partly processed e.g tasted and looked like packet mash with mustard never had liquid mash before. Yorkshire puds sent back burnt. veg portion meagre for 7 people. soup like watered down packet tasteless and no body to it.overpriced for such poor quality spoilt family day out.

some of the best fish and chips I have tasted for a long time. The chips were brown and dry and the fish was large, fresh and cooked in a light crispy batter. The menu was quite varied, including scampi, pies, puddings, etc as well as a selection of starters and desserts. The Fish Bar, which only opened in January, together with the cafe, are beautifully designed and decorated with an entirely black and white theme. The only criticism which I have is that, although the staff are friendly and helpful, the service is quite slow

Ignorant staff, cheap alternatives used not local produce - avoid like the plague!!!

What a fantastic place. The food was great quality, with a varied menu. The experience of the chefs is obvious, they do great things with local produce. The setting was great too, a traditional pub with a restaurant extension and rural views that go on as far as the eye can see. All in all, an excellent experience.

fantastic food, really tasty, lovely staff and very friendly, always a great meal, happy customers, bury.

excellent service, friendly manner, good cuisine very clean and we go every month 5 stars..

Our favourite Bury Indian, lovely friendly staff along with olde English surroundings! Romantically lit, coffee is superb. Pleasant music and magical freshly cooked curries and sides, normally around £35 for poppadoms, curry, naan, vegetable side and a couple of draught pints of chilled Kingfisher. Complete with Bombay mix whilst you browse the menu, who could ask for more.
