Reviews in Rochdale

After a recent visit to Nutters Restaurant, I was extremely disappointed. I read raving reviews about this restaurant and was very much looking forward to my visit only to turn up and be greeted by an extremely sour faced young woman on arrival. She quite obviously did not want to be there and was not pleased to show us to our cramped table in the bar area. Once seated, we were approached by a young man barking about drink orders. I made out from this caveman like grunt that we were infact supposed to inform him what drinks we would like. I went through 3 different drinks in order to be told that they had ran out of them all and we're due a stock intake in the near future. I ended up with a lovely regular tap water. Once shown to our table which was slap bang in the middle of the restaurant allowing elbows, trays, plates, the lot, to graze my back throughout what was supposed to be a peaceful meal, we were presented with a very dry piece of fish on top of some lettuce. That is the best way to describe it. Also, I was quite confused as to why my fish came with bones, I dont recall ordering a plate of fish bones. The rest of the meal to follow wasn't much different with my plate being taken away covered in various chewed grizzly pieces of meat and undercooked vegetables. The meal was not tickling my taste buds whatsoever so I obviously was truly dismayed, offended and sickened when watching my husband take a spoonful of ice cream, what he thought was a decorative piece was infact a fingernail!!! This really was the last straw and we called the owner over to voice our not happy opinions only to be barked at in some kind of illiterate language about the restaurant once being the best in the North West and abruptly being handed the bill. Reluctantly, we paid for the monstrosity that was but I can safely say I will never be returning to the restaurant and I certainly will not be recommending it to anyone... EVER!

We ate there over Xmas with good friends of ours and we had a great night. Top location, really nice decor, good service and great food..

Went to Nutters Restaurant, with my wife and friends. It is my wife's 40th Birthday on the 28th November so I emailed the restaurant. Andrew Nutter was kind enough to present an amazing dessert and came to have a chat with us for about 10 minutes, it was excellent. I have been a number of times, and the food is truly amazing. I have eaten at many top restaurants, Nutters is still my favourite.

it is not a good place to eat, the food is greasy, the place is unclean and looks old and desolate. it clearly hasn't been taken care of. The service is also slow compared to other chip shops i have been to. i would rate it 0/5

My husband and I went for lunch yesterday - one of numerous visits we've made over many years. As always, it was a real treat. The food was delicious (presentation is second to none) and the service attentive and efficient but not intrusive. Table settings are beautifully arranged with crisp linen and sparkling crockery/glassware. The building itself is very impressive as you ride up the sweeping driveway and doesn't disappoint when you enter the large, imposing building. My only negative comment (and it's only my personal opinion) would be that the atmosphere was more intimate in Nutter's old premises which were further up Edenfield Road but, with quality like this, it was inevitable that Andrew Nutter would have to move to bigger premises to keep up with demand. You're missing a wonderful, gastronomic experience if you don't venture to Nutter's Restaurant.

We met friends here for Sunday carvery lunch, one of whom is vegetarian. The carvery meat was beautifully cooked, the yorkshire puddings were nice and crispy and there was a good selection of fresh vegetables and a selection of three types of potato - roast, new and mash. There was no vegetarian option for the carvery but the range of vegetables and potato made for a delicious plate of food. The price of the carvery includes a dessert - one of five sweet options. I had a jam pudding, my partner ice-cream with chocolate sauce and my friends chocolate cake. We all had an enjoyable meal and the staff were really friendly. We will certainly be going back.

best ive ever had superb .cooked how it should be ill be going back again a taste off yesteryear very friendly too.enjoy.

I have had quite a few meals at Nutters, but I went recently and recommended it to some friends and colleagues. Somebody said to me, "Are you sure it is still as good as your first visit"? and I had no hesitation in saying I am absolutely confident it will be. After our meal everybody (party of 8) said how they had never had such a good all round experience, food, atmosphere, service etc. I strongly recommend Nutters restaurant.

Really enjoyed my meal here - the staff are very professional but very formal. Food standard is fab, almost equal to the Peacock Room in Bamford but Nutters wine list is better

My boyfriend and I have just returned from Nutters restaurant and have an amazing time. It is the second time we have been, and we will certainly be going back again. We arrived and were seated in the bar area for canapes and drinks whilst we browsed the menu. The service was very efficient and the staff were friendly. The presentation of the food was fantastic and tasted like heaven. We didn't want to leave, and are already looking forward to going back again. I strongly recommend that people visit this restaurant. It truly is an outstanding experience!!

My husband and i have been loving all that the Bellavista has to offer for the past 14 years, the food is wonderful the service is first class, nothing is too much trouble and the surrounding area is beautiful, especially sat on the terrace after a meal in summer with a large glass of wine enjoying the panoramic views .

best pizza i ever had. service in pizzeria is excellent. its always very busy and then you know that food is fresh.

Don't be fooled by the outside appearance or location of this place, as it is one of the best restaurants I have ever been too!! All food is obviously cooked fresh and locally sourced. Must try the home made breads!!!

I thought that the Copper Pot was overrated until i went with my son. It was excellent and this restaurant just gets better and better every time i go I LOVE IT.

Brilliant. Soup and sandwich offer especially good. Everything tastes fresh and home made and if you don't have waistline problems the rag pudding is superb.

A friendly pub atmosphere with excellent service. The food was prompt, hot and totally delicious. We recommend the home made chunky chips and the Cheesy Garlic bread. We have booked 13 seats for an Xmas lunch and expect to thoroughly enjoy ourselves.

superb food, excellent service and always a welcoming atmosphere, we have yet to find another restaurant in rochdale that can beat the Madison, staff are always ready to offer suggestions and assist with menu selection. definitely our number one choice.

I've been to the Albion frequently over the last few months and can highly recommend the excellent food, great atmosphere and friendly service to everyone. Great menu - slow braised lamb shank is devine and it's nice to have the 'bar or bistro' option.
