Cuckoo in Bury

Had the 2 person sharing board the portions were very poor 5 small crackers and little cheese etc very disappointing.

Great venue upstairs. Attended a 40th and the atmosphere was great. Good selection of drinks and the Pizza it was lush too. Would recommend if you are linking for a venue to hire, or maybe pop downstairs to try out their food and drinks. Nice ans chilled atmosphere.

Perfect cocktails every time and good table service

Lovely ambience of an evening with a warm, friendly atmosphere and a good selection of beers and beverages to enjoy. Tasty food too which makes Cuckoo one of our favourite watering holes in Prestwich and one I'd recommend paying a visit.

Great venue we visited for my cousins party.

Popped in for lunch, we had amazing pizza and a drink each. Great service and food was quickly ready and piping hot!

Used to be good. Now you wait 15 to 20mins for table service.

Nice relaxing atmosphere. Pizzas are decent

Stunning spot in Prestwich! Food and drinks are great and responsibly priced. We will be back!

This bar only does table table service for drinks & they don't know how to do it. It takes about 20 minutes to actually get served, then another 20 minutes to have them brought over by a miserable member of staff who just put them down on our table without even acknowledging us.

An absolute must to visit and experience!

Table service was very slow we waited 10 minutes to order a drink

Great night, they catered for my brother in laws 50 superbly..

Great little venue upstairs if you are having a party.

Waited ages and I mean ages, staff could not of cared less, really poor When food did arrive, no apology, eggs over cooked, very disappointing

24/05/24: had a top night listening to 'Ideal Forgery' in the Event Space, over a few Shindiggers and a Negroni. 30/04/24: Shindigger Brewery: Mango Unchained 4.2% 17/04/24: Shindigger Brewery: Half Dozen Other salted millionaires shortbread milk stout 7% 09/04/24: Shindigger Brewery: session IPA 4.2% 28/03/24: was a bit too busy, no seats available, upstairs closed. 26/08/23: can't beat a good Aperol Spritz in the library! Feb 2023: Pablo Honey pizza by far the best. Quick stop for lunch at one of our fav's! Dec 2022: .....still as good as last time. The Festive Pizza, shame it's not served by Santa himself though 🎅 Dec 2021: Festive Pizza is back! Absolutely awesome! May 2022: Review Update: Still one of the best places in Prestwich for drinks, atmosphere and pizza. Everyone here is super friendly and welcoming and we love it. Early morning fresh coffee, cake, or a pastry from The Hatch to start a day, especially on a sunny morning! A Cuckoo breakfast, or stone-baked Pizza for lunch is well recommended. Satriale or Pepe Bradock is our favourite. Dog friendly inside and out. The outside seating area is open, but has a brilliant canopy for when the rain starts and infra-red heaters for when it gets chilly. 'The Library' downstairs is a great place to relax and chill with friends, read a book or play a few games. On a lovely sunny day the outside back transforms into a Mediterranean utopia. Alfresco pizza and cocktails here and you could literally be anywhere. We're really looking forward to the expansion and can't wait to see what happens next! I've added a few extra photos from previous visits.....

Amazing and delicious food for more than fair prices. The staff is lovely, the decor is great look out for the walls of cassettes! The food was really good and the quality was fresh. Everything was clean. The only small detail is that it is a small place, so upstairs can be a bit crowded and not much privacy, but it has a garden and a downstairs. There is an efficient paying system as well! I recommend their pizzas and homebaked desserts. Will be coming again thanks!

We hired the event space upstairs for a party and had a lovely evening. The pizzas were excellent, staff were very friendly and helpful, we hired our own DJ and danced the night away. Great place, highly recommend.

A lovely bar to meet up with friends and have coffee and a chat. Service brilliant and so welcoming, especially to our two dogs. They loved every minute of it. Thank you Cuckoo, we'll be back xx 😁🙂

Great pizzas and great selection of beers. Love their garden.

Had a staff party here such a lovely place atmosphere was amazing and the staff are very friendly and helpful..🤗🙏🏽

We sat in the gorgeous garden and had great cocktails all evening. The atmosphere was really lovely and staff friendly and attentive. Love this place. We'll be back!

Came at 2pm on a bank holiday Monday so completely understand they were busy. They told us it was 45 min wait for food which we thought was fine. Ordered drinks - they took 25 mins to arrive (2 cokes, a beer, 1 glass of wine) one of the cokes was forgotten. Then took ten further minutes to get the second coke. / Pizzas arrived 1 hour and 15 mins later. Ordered second round of drinks which took a further 30 mins to arrive. They forgot another drink had to wait ten further minutes. I get the food taking a while (maybe not 1 hour 15 mins for four pizzas....) but to take 25 mins for a drink seems outrageous! Staff seemed all over the place. Service really was bad. Much better places on Prestwich so won't be returning unfortunately.

Great music, great beer, great staff, lovely atmosphere!!

Whether I pop in for a coffee at the end of an arduous dog walk or nightcap at the end of an endless round of carousing, i know there will be a warm welcome from the cuckoo crew. The pizza is different to the other prestwich offerings and still great value. The new event space is a welcome addition to one off and regular entertainment.

Lovely little beer garden is a great sun trap if the sun ever comes out, pizza and cocktails are delicious!

Been in a few times and can honestly say you can’t fault the place. The food, the service and the drinks are outstanding. If you’re looking for a brunch place, an evening dinner place or even just a light snack, this is the place to go in Prestwich. The menu is limited to grazing boards and pizzas however the selection is wide with so many options of pizzas. We opted for a hot honey pizza and a meat pizza (cannot for the life of me remember the name). We also got a side of wedges which were so delicious. Definitely recommend!

Amazing place that is like a TARDIS, the outside space outside is brilliant with great table service. Can't wait to go back.

Great place! Highly recommended.

Loved it for coffee an cake staff attentive too

I don't live in Manchester anymore but on a recent visit to Prestwich made a point of visiting Cuckoo as I have always enjoyed the drinks , ambience and food. I am glad to report that Cuckoo is still very much worth a visit. It serves the best coffee and Pizza in Prestwich and the reason Cuckoo survives while other places close is simple.. The food and pizzas are great and reasonably priced, The drinks and coffee are good,the staff are always friendly and welcoming and the music is good. Simple really! I will return again on my next visit to Prestwich.

Service was a bit slow, but it was busy, and there were only two servers working.

Lovely lunch and made to feel really welcome with our little ones

We are new to the area. Cuckoo was recommended and I can say we were not disappointed. Kate and kinyemi were the most hospitable hosts. Amazing we will definitely be returning. Thank you..

Always a pleasure for food and drink. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and staff make you feel welcome.

Cute little place with a wonderful selection of drinks. We didn't eat here because we only stopped for a drink, but we will be back to try out the food when we are next in the area.

Such a disappointing visit today (28/12/2023) We turned up in the afternoon and got a table near the window. It wasn't very busy at all. We were told it was table service only and were given menus. We decided what we wanted and waited, and waited, and waited....... The waitress was totally oblivious and never acknowledged us even though the till was right next to our table. Eventually, we got fed up and walked out. I don't even think the waitress noticed us leaving and was completely unaware of who was in the place. Such a shame as we'd planned to have cocktails and order food. Cuckoo, you lost a customer today and we won't bother to come again either

Couldn't take order for pizza as shift changed from breakfast menu to afternoon/lunch. Gave up and ordered a tasteless doughnut instead. Coffee good though

Had our work's Christmas do there, food was top notch, told the team downstairs as I was leaving, definitely will be coming here to a slice of two with friends

Great bar. Table service was great.

Avoid. Awful service by a waitress who couldn't be a*****. We were warned of a 30-45 min wait on pizzas...then nobody returned to take the order. So we had a drink then left. Pizzas coming from the oven looked poor. Cute snug little place otherwise!

Love this place. So friendly and the food's delish. Nice local beer too.

We have had lovely meals and drinks here. Always so welcoming and helpful. They are also understanding and accommodating of food allergies. Dog friendly too!

Lovely little bar. Pizza is nice Beer has a good selection of cans Open mic comedy every other Sunday is a good aul laugh xx

Great venue and lovely place , however I’m not sure the music actually needs to be as loud as it is . People go out to talk and you can’t because it’s that loud , shame really as the place and staff Brilliant. And this is only my opinion puts me off going at night , in the day it’s fine

Great bar. Didn't eat, but great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Amazing staff. Amazing food. Amazing drinks.

A fabulous little bar in prestwich. Went with the whole family and had a great time. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Keep up the good work guys! Will definitely be back!

I went in with the whole family, staff were amazing, helped with everything that was needed and cocktails and food were fabulous

The food is fantastic, and as a regular it always is - however the service the last couple of times has been dreadful. They have a lot of staff sitting at the bar visibly scrolling through Instagram instead of serving drinks. Food took ages, over an hour and 15 mins. No apology or explanation. Bit of a shame as doubt I would go back.

Excellent brunch menu with great cocktails Also very varied pizza menu. Service unobtrusive. Very good pizza.

Great service and even better pizza!

Great vibe and great cocktails. Didn’t eat but from what I saw food looked equally good. Definitely worth the visit

Always a favourite, lovely cocktails, great atmosphere. A good selection of mocktails and brilliant tunes!

I've been here a few times now and I've always been happy. Their pizzas are great - I particularly liked the Alonso pizza. The coffee is good too and staff are friendly.

Fab place, amazing staff, kind and caring

Really enjoyed watching The Villanelles on Saturday afternoon. A really friendly bar with a funky relaxed vibe.

First of all staff were so friendly and welcoming - especially with our dogs too! One of the best pizzas we have ever had, so so good! 100% reccomend

Nice and friendly, welcome dogs. Food was good.

Great place, lovely atmosphere, like the feel of the whole place, especially downstairs. Would make a great venue for a function. Food and drink for the most part was great, the scrambled egg on ciabatta was the only downside with the eggs to bread ratio not quite right (not much in the way of egg compared to the bread). I took a pic of mine which was the full breakfast and enjoyed it thoroughly.

What a find! Stopped here on way back from manchester, fantastic oh- so -different summer cocktail menu (all named after festivals) and delicious handmade plentiful pizza...busy quite noisy and lively but thats great! Will be back!

A smart bar serving excellent coffee & imaginative drinks.

Lovely little place to sit outside & watch the traffic go by. Great coffee & cakes

Fab little place. Stopped off here en route to Cumbria from Kent (via cycle) after needing a well earned drink. Lovely friendly staff and I was made to feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend to cyclists and non cyclists alike!

Great place. Awesome cocktails, tasty pizza, cool soundtrack and lovely team. Prestwich is lucky to have this cafe in the neighbourhood.

Atmosphere lovely food delicious and staff delightful.

Great, friendly and welcoming place. Great atmosphere

Love it here, always nice to visit!

Wonderful staff. Food food and cocktails are great!

This place has a decent vibe but the service is ridiculously slow. Our table only ordered 3 pizzas but we were waiting almost an hour for these. No acknowledgement or apology from the staff which makes me wonder if this just is how they roll.

I am a bit late to the party I fear. This place was amazing. Had two pizzas and the humus as a starter. The most friendly staff you could ever ask for. Service was quick but with a warm smile. It’s actually a really large venue with an upstairs area perfect for getting some work done during the day and downstairs for late night drinks with friends. There is a real friendly and welcoming vibe to the place with an outdoor area too undercover and with heaters. Really recommend this place. They do brunch as well as pizza and we had a lovely time. Three children and adults.

Fabulous place with great music, friendly staff and a laidback feel to it. Out of all the bars etc in Prestwich this is our favourite by far.

Love this place. Great pizzas, great food, great service. And I can take my dog too. It gets busy in the evenings so make sure you’re early if you want to sit in a specific spot!

Jump down your throat demanding card only payment,very choosy i w As being profiled being A bricklayer,and not An excec.

Lovely place to have a cocktail and the pizza was really good. Got charged for drinks we didn’t have and only saw the bill after we’d paid which is why lost a star.

I had the Cuckoo Breakfast which was lovely. Great service and a nice atmosphere.

Favourite bar in Prestwich. Great breakfast/brunch. Pizzas here are also very nice.

Great atmoshere..good food & choice of drinks.

Nice food. Small place but nice

Good clientele, prices not too bad. Authentic good pizza and beer, highly recommend. My 1st Comedy night was so enjoyable too

Friendly service, cosy atmosphere, stopped off with our dog 'Wiggles' after a walk, had a couple of pizzas between us and pleasantly surprised by size n quality, they a went down a treat. We'll done guys, we'll be back 😁

Friendly Staff, great food, warm and cosy.

Excellent moment avec la famille cocktails et ambiance excellent très belle endroit pour une petite soirée entre amis ou famille j ai testé 3 cocktails je dois revenir pour tester les autres je recommande à 100%

Even though the food was good it took OVER AN HOUR!!!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡(I could’ve done the weekly shop in this time or run 10k) for fries and a ciabatta to arrive (worth only £7). Drinks also took 20 mins to arrive.(A hot chocolate, lemonade and a coke) Brownie took 45 mins. Heard other staff telling visitors that wait was an hour, but they didn’t tell us this and we heard this 45 minutes in to our wait. This just isn’t acceptable. It usually is a lovely place. Great atmosphere and everything but over an hour for seven pounds worth of stuff should not be acceptable for a well respected local business. A waste of a good hour or so of my time. Overall I’m disappointed for what could’ve been a lovely visit, just took too long.

Great vibe in this place and service.

Good neighbourhood bar with a cute outdoors space (downstairs a floor from the entrance and out the back). Friendly staff and good pizzas.

Cuckoo is our go to in Prestwich! Great service, delicious food, lovely atmosphere. Go!

This place is a lovely little find. Good atmosphere, good food and the cocktails are fantastic Dog friendly too 👍

Good brunch and pizza place, great take away cakes & coffee

Nice bar with nice helpful staff and really nice drinks. my only possible complaint would be the music which seemed like someone was just messing with the volume control

Omg so overrated. We went as a family of 3 for brunch. Firstly you can only get ciabatta here (aside from pizza) even if you order a cuckoo breakfast which is essentially a full English - don’t expect to be able to get sliced bread!!! Secondly no one asks how you like your eggs or bacon - ours were so overdone it wasn’t enjoyable. The beans tasted like they’d come from Aldi across the road - but I have to say the sausages were good. The coffee that came would have been nice if it had been hot - it was warm. The tea was good. Service was diabolical and I mean how are 5 servers (I counted 5) not able to serve a maximum of 12 customers within a reasonable time frame? Service was sooooo slow it was a joke. Couple that with the dogs brought in by other customers that kept barking (it’s a very small space) it was not at all an enjoyable outing. All this at premium prices. Not worth the petrol - sorry won’t be eating chez vous again.

Always fantastic food. The system of what is served and what you do yourself could be clearer. The staff assume because they know - you know. This is a minor issue though - fantastic place.

Lovely, friendly service, an outdoor seating area and great sourdough pizza

Great food, friendly staff, warm and comfortable place

Generally I enjoy a meal here. I have always been with my children past 8pm. Tonight arrived with my eldest and her grandparents for a post op treat, given she has just had major spinal surgery and doesn’t often see her grandparents. This was a treat, for her and for us to see her out and able to enjoy herself. We were shown to a table, given a menu, asked for a drinks order and food order. Once we had given this asked for ID for the 12hr old not drinking. Then told we had 15minutes before she needed to leave. Family friendly eating is not an option here. She was a quiet 12 yr old girl causing no trouble that spent the rest of the evening apologising for the blatant disregard and compassion of this restaurant. Pizzas are great and we have visited numerous times but this has almost certainly assured that we will not visit again. Anatolian grill up the road on the other hand fantastic and very family friendly.

Always good pizza 🍕 and extra hot cappuccino

Splendid coffee and lovely cake. Good atmosphere and service

Great pizza, great service, great staff, great booze. So... Great!

Gorgeous spot in prestwich. Really friendly staff as well as delicious food and drinks

Called in for a pre- festwich cocktail yesterday. Wasn’t sure whether we’d find a seat as was so busy. But the staff welcomed us immediately and promptly got us seated and served within minutes! Half an hour later we were told there was seating newly available outside if we preferred. Perfect and very thoughtful of the attentive staff. Cocktails were amazing as ever - I have to say honestly the best cocktails Ive ever found ; pure quality and great value for money ( not the watered down crud you get in the big chain places!) Was so good we stayed for pizza too! If you want Great food. Quality drinks. Excellent value for money. Friendly service ( no matter how busy) Beautiful decor and a warm welcoming atmosphere…. Then CUCKOO is your place!
