Colleens Ramsbottom in Bury

The food here is beautiful and it’s a great addition to Ramsbottom. The menu doesn’t include many options and it is a really small restaurant, but even though we are fussy we both found at least a couple of things we wanted to order for each course. The food and cocktails that we ordered were delicious. The service was great!

Food good but crockery appalling! Waitress said she would mention chipped plate to kitchen but no further actiontaken.

Stopped by for munch, sorry lunch. Eggs Benedict was spectacular. Cheap as chips. Dogs welcome. We’ll done for great service also.

We had a fabulous visit on Sunday. We both had a roast and absolutely loved it. The beef was pink and melted in the mouth. The chicken was moist and the veg was fabulous. Full of flavour and varied. Even the Yorkshire was on point (though I would’ve salted the batter. Strong recommend.

It’s our 3rd time eating here and so I really should write a review, as it really does deserve to be packed out every single night. It’s such a great addition to Ramsbottom. The menu is small and seasonal and sometimes the decision to choose is difficult. Too many great sounding dishes! The food is beautifully presented and so delicious. I always opt for the fish dish, as it never disappoints, just cooked perfectly, always! The wine list is good for such a small restaurant and prices are remarkable for the quality of cooking.

Visited with friends, we enjoyed great food with attentive service. Starters were delicious - we went for Scotch Eggs and Smoked Salmon, both delicious. My steak was perfectly rare and served with Dauphinois. The cod, venison, and partridge dishes were similarly well received. We had chips and mac cheese sides to round off. Thanks to Brooke and her team.

Took my son today at 12.30ish and had the breakfast and he had steak and chips and they were both beautiful. Love this place.

Have been a few times for breakfast, both times superb. Lovely fresh ingredients and good customer service Poached eggs avocado and feta on sourdough, and full english can definitely recommend. Gets busy so book on line

Great experience last night. The restaurant was packed with a really good atmosphere. The food was so good, cured salmon, tomato arancini, steak and a beautiful cod dish, followed by a banana cake with rum and raisin ice cream, absolutely delicious. Cocktails were great. The young waitresses were super efficient and friendly. Could not fault the evening. We will be back.

Fantastic food with excellent service and a great atmosphere. Best meal that we have had in a long time. We would recommend and is a great local restaurant

Unfortunately wasn’t for us. Cocktails were not up to scratch at all, and we have sadly woken up feeling poorly today after the food we ate last night. Unsure if the beef was too underdone? I’m a rare lover but even this was too rare for me and my body too. Cute venue though :) x

Genuinely one of the best family meals out we’ve had in a long time. Relaxed, good food, fabulous unobtrusive service and good value. Support this restaurant!

My son took me on New Years Eve for the set bottomless brunch. The food was outstanding, the drinks came regularly, as often as we wanted, and Brook, our waitress, was a delight. I would highly recommend and I will definitely be going back in the near future.

Been meaning to visit this place for a while and I’m glad I did - great atmosphere, unreal food and even better service, not to mention the music playlist Thank you so much 😊

Cancelled our booking by email the afternoon of our Christmas meal stating they had a private party and there must have been an issue with the booking system….. I booked in September!!

Saturday brunch visit with the family and dogs. The staff at Colleen’s were incredibly accommodating to us with 3 😮 dogs and little baby, helped us with everything we’d need, high chair, treats for dogs ☺️. They offered to make scrambled egg for the little one. Food was lovely we all thoroughly enjoyed our brunch dishes and coffees. Also we thought it was very reasonably priced for the whole experience. We all can’t wait to visit again for evening meals and wine!

The scotched egg started was 10/10! The mains let it down a lot £24 pound for serloin steak which came with “pepper corn sauce” it was poor gravy at best and just tasted of pure salt. I actually asked if it was gravy to be told it wasn’t. The table next to me also complained there meal was far to salty as well! Such a shame as the starter was to die for. Staff were also very attentive and helpful.

Amazing, creative dishes you would expect in a city centre restaurant. Fabulous cocktails and lovely, attentive staff.

Food was delicious, friendly staff and great service. Would definitely recommend. Love that it's dog friendly.

My son and I went for Sunday lunch today and it was fabulous. The best one in Ramsbottom, The staff were wonderful and the service and timings spot on. Will definitely go back and can't wait to try the week menu. Michelle and Sam

Pretty terrible really, family of 4 including 2 kids. Tables very crammed together which I guess is a feature but not really very comfortable. It's a very limited menu and the food is barely passable. I wasn't intending leaving a review here but the manager,...

First visit to this place after stumbling upon it online. 3 of us visited for Sunday lunch. Lamb was exceptional, beef was ok, vegetables were hard in the middle. Roasties were delicious. We asked for mint sauce which was pretty tasteless. Desserts very dissapointing. Brownie...

Amazing place for weekend brunch or an evening meal. Midweek early bird deal is such a great deal, high quality food for a really reasonable price.

Just had brunch at Coleens. Great selection of food and drink and excellent service. Would recommend booking to ensure a table but they do cater for walk ins. Very reasonable prices. Will be back soon!

Big city food and quality in small town surroundings and prices. First class service, good wine list, and friendly service. What’s not to like?

This is a neighbourhood restaurant on Bridge St in the town centre. What a find. The menu reflects the freshest produce of the day that the proprietors, Tom & Ellen can source. Wonderful food, lovely people looking after us and a comfortable place to eat....

Just back home from Colleens having enjoyed an excellent meal to celebrate our 48th wedding anniversary. We were early so went for the set 3 courses for £18. Well, talk about value for money, you will not get a better 3 course meal anywhere for...

Fantastic service, food & wine, what more could you ask for ? Well to top it off it was my Birthday, they gave me a lovely complimentary glass of prosecco. Great atmosphere, felt very relaxed, friendly & welcomed, this is a must if in Ramsbottom.

Perfect lunch, best I've had in Ramsbottom for a while. Ordered the steak & chicken sandwich, both of which came served on a fresh, warm focaccia. The steak, sliced thin cooked medium rare with rocket and home made salsa verde.. Just perfect. The roast chicken...

A beautiful Sunday lunch. Good service. Good quality food presented very well. Loved it. Will definitely be back.

Really excited to visit after reading the reviews but unfortunately it wasn't for us. Limited menu, which differed to that online. Staff were inefficient and characterless. Cafe style atmosphere Food was overpriced for portion size and quality. We had: Bread: 2 small slices of supermarket...

Went along for a party of seven for a Sunday roast. Everyone was really happy with their meal. The vegetarian option of mushroom, potato, and onion wellington was seriously good. I was specifically made veggie gravy. The whole meal was great. The wine was lovely....

The food at Coleens is just out of this world. Even the most fastidious diner would be amazed. We had the fillet tartare to start. I had the pork cheek and my partner had the cod fillet. Both we incredible. The staff were efficient but...

attended for the Monday Club menu and wasn’t disappointed! Simple menu but very well prepared, lovely service and stunning value (eg 2 cocktails for £10…). Deffo go back xx

Food was beautiful, as was the service… we loved every aspect and will definitely be back for more. Quaint and cosy is how I would describe the atmosphere…. I got the opportunity to try different types of food that I’d never had before.

I've visited Colleen's a few times over recent months and have enjoyed every meal. Tonight we went for the Monday menu which is a change from what they normally offer, more American diner style than fine dining, with very reasonably priced cocktails too. The food...

Absolutely fabulous food and service. Thanks so much, especially to joe, for making our anniversary so special.

After booking Colleen’s due to a number of good reviews online (we aren’t from the area), we were very excited for a nice Sunday lunch before travelling back to Newcastle after a lovely weekend in Rossendale. The starters were good. We had the scotch egg...

Really lovely Sunday lunch, vegetable sides perfectly cooked, attentive friendly service. Excellent value, couldn’t fault it.👍

Our 1st visit for over a year; this restaurant has always been a favourite. We were surprised and worried to see that the lunch menu that we were expecting was now a brunch menu. Now with new owners, but the same chef, our worries were...

Absolutely Fabulous! Joe made us feel as though no one else was in the restaurant. He was absolute fabulous! Of course, the food was to die for. The steak was cooked to perfection. No seasoning required. A relaxed atmosphere, divine food, and absolutely fabulous service....
