Duckworth Arms in Bury - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great food good service at reasonable prices

Love the new look, a lot brighter. Great food, great views and lovely atmosphere. Good value for money. A few reviews talk about their wait, I would rather wait and have great food than be served quick with low standard food. They obviously have busy times because they are very good. We have been many times and leave very happy. We will be visiting again soon.

It's a lovely pub. Where my friends and I meet. However it was a Saturday lunchtime. The menu prices have gone up again! My smoked haddock Risotto Wasn't particularly hot. I enjoyed my soup and my coffee and mini pudding. No calories on the menu either. It was a bit disappointing 😞

Went for lunch last week and would like to compliment the chef on the excellent herb crusted fillet of chalk stream trout which was cooked to perfection. I found the piped music too intrusive hence the one mark deduction.

Excellent food, fantastic service and views to die for! Definitely recommend

3 of us booked in for Sunday dinner. Me and my daughter had the Sunday sharer, which was amazing. Far too much food if anything as we couldn’t finish it off. Husband had the gammon, which again was lovely but he did say the chips were very bland. Only downside was how long the wait was, we were there for an hour before getting any food. It would be better if the wait time was communicated when seated, as the food is worth the wait.

Went on A Bank Holiday Sunday. Staffing was low and advised it was at least a 45 minute wait for food and we ordered off the specials menu. I did leave and ended up in Burger King. 24/8/24 - We gave it a fairer run. The better half had the battered fish & chips I had the mixed grill. She was not overly impressed with the fish as the peas were a bit cool. The tarter sauce was bland tasting as well. The fish and the chips were hot, good beer batter on fish. I ordered my meat well done which may not have been passed to kitchen. While tasty my beef was pink on inside which is not well done. Still a ways to go but it is a lovely place in the weather.

Our meal this lunchtime was delicious. It's a long time since we visited the Duckworth Arms and it had been refurbished to a very high standard. We won't leave it so long next time

Food was amazing and well worth the price!! We went for the light lunch menu of 3 courses and you get plenty for the price. Certainly not small portions. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

We have the sharing Sunday lunch enough for 4 people let alone 2 food is delicious . All staff are attentive . The food is delicious 3 types of meats plus vegetables

We visited last night. We had a lovely meal. Love the new decor. The staff were lovely and really helpful. I had the the smoked haddock risotto, it was beautiful, just gutted my egg wasn't runny. 3 people had the steak pie, which massive and really good. One had the cheese pie, which looked lovely, no potato, perfect. And a ceaser salad.. all in all a good meal.

Outstanding. Food was absolutely beautiful and the refurb lovely. Highly recommended

I have been to the Duckworth Arms many times, the staff are friendly and helpful and the food is amazing

Great pub food and service. My daughter is coeliac and can't have gluten such as wheat. There was a fantastic range of gluten free options including 'sticky toffee pudding' her favourite!

21 of in a family party. Didn't pre-order and with a full restaurant all our food came out altogether and hot. Food was tasty, fab value for money with the 2&3 course weekday special is well worth it.

The service was efficient and friendly. The food was hot (when it was meant to be!) and beautifully cooked. We will go again. There is quite a big car park - just one space for disabled I think.

Great pub serving good food and beer, friendly atmosphere.

Menue changed, no facility for small meals except for one, which was fish and chips?We had gone for the Sunday roast dinner which I had, lady partner could only face the small fish chip's meal, which looked large when placed on the table.We have visited this pub regular since 1999.After this menue change, no more,lot's of oldies like us eat less, hence our preference for smaller meal portions. P.L

All the food we had and the service was brilliant. Kids potions a little big for smaller kids

Good quality food with fantastic outlook. Lovely beer garden and plenty of parking

Excellent food, all party loved it. Good with the kids. Well done 👍🏻👍🏻

Great food in a great pub! Loving the new refurbishment! Service can be a little slow but the food is fantastic with a good selection of drinks.

Julie was exceptional with an unsettled toddler, nothing was too much trouble, used her “nanna experience” to provide distraction and settle baby. Food was plentiful and delicious, fantastic refurb, cosy relax atmosphere.

I’ve always loved the Duckworth arms, but haven’t been for a while, until tonight. The food is excellent,, and the prices are more than fair. However the wait time is horrendous from being seated it took 45 minutes for our starters to arrive and on clearing them away it took another 50 minutes for our mains to appear. On questioning a member of staff over the delay I was rudely informed they were fully booked and busy… unfortunately the amount of empty tables made this a laughable excuse. Yes the food is good but not good enough to warrant the wait times

Pity, this was one of our favourite go to pub lunch. Sadly it's not anymore sorry to say, we both had the trout which came, we couldn't believe what we saw there where a small bit of fish 5 small potatoes and cooked spinach which was about 4 leaves and the wife had less!! and a cream sauce. We ordered cheese and biscuits just to fill us up with the rest of the expensive wine. Well that was so a let down from the last time we where' there is no veg inside the salary (only this on the plate) we thought that was taking the %% out of the pay customer. Don't think will be going back soon, also table top' you stuck to" mite have been just ours but i saw a person cleaning! with spray and same cloth and her hair was very long, not far of the table it self. Update!! had a reply from them ((Thanks)) well, that tells you about the standard that they up hold!!. No interest in customer service or respect. It must have been wrong day we where there!! 😏

Had a meal out with my family this evening. The food and service was excellent Well done chef Aaron. I was very impressed and will sure be back

Lovely food. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

We visited while we were camping just down the road from here. The food was lovely and service from all the staff was great.

We were told there would be an hour wait for food AFTER we’d been seated, ordered drinks and our food. This was 20 minutes after we’d booked and didn’t have much choice but to accept the delay. The food ok. We ordered a couple of sticky toffee puddings and soon realised they had given us the ginger Parkin instead. When we mentioned this to the waitress, she went to the kitchen and came back to inform us that it was definitely Sticky Toffee Pudding. It DEFINITELY was not. Once again, I made this point as we paid and was told again we were mistaken. Very little in terms of customer service here.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch food quality was excellent unfortunately the service was very slow is it a kitchen problem the waitresses where very good

Always a great pint and food. Service is great too!

So after shopping in Bury we went for our tea, We have not been here for a few years, The decor is a bit dated but the food was good, dog friendly is always a bonus , on Saturdays 20% off all steaks, I had the gammon with skinny fries, onion rings and tomato, and 2 fried eggs, fries and onion rings a bit soggy but edible, gammon thick and juicy.Diana had Sage roasted Chicken with chorizo and gnocchi and spinach, really good, very quick service, friendly staff, and a large car park, dogs only allowed in bar area.

Great food in a beautiful pub looking onto the moors. A very accommodating place to eat with a great menu. We had the duck spring rolls and salt and chilli squid for started which were both excellent, then had the triple cheese and onion pie which did not disappoint and was almost as good as my nanna used to make! Highly recommended.

Lovely location. Tasty food & friendly staff

Great place to spend Sunday afternoon, no

Not been to the Duckworth Arms for a year or two, and booked a table for 2 for Sunday evening, and we stayed labout 5 minutes. It was scruffy and dirty. The table was very sticky, the chair was threadbare with a large hole in the seat. Didn't order any food as I lost my appetite due to the dirty environment.

Able to get lunch up to 3 pm and a two Course meal option available.

We have not been to the Duckworth Arms for 30 years (when Mr. and Mrs Jennings used to run it), ridiculous I know we only live down the road. Anyway, we went yesterday for Sunday lunch and it was 'flipping brilliant', excellent food at a good price. the service cannot be faulted. Added to our list of places to go. As my son said this morning we will definitely go again. Plus the view is amazing.

Amazing food!! Highly recommend this pub,we will be back.cheese and onion pie out of this world

Very good service and very good place to visit would definitely recommend them 👍 😀 👌

Not eaten here, hence 0 stars, but when I call in, it is always full, which is a positive sign.

Visited for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. Went for the light lunch option. This is served Monday to Friday between 12 and 3 pm. This gives 4 options for starters, 4 for mains and 4 for pudding. 2 course option is £ 14.95. The 3 course £17.45. Plenty of choice on where to sit and lots of different seating options. Was a little surprised how large it was inside. One downside to that was we did think it was a little bit cold during our meal. But it was a shocking day out. I ordered the Ale Battered Black Pudding Fritters as my starter. This comes with English mustard mayonnaise. You got a decent portion for a starter on a fixed price menu. I enjoyed the black pudding but the mustard mayonnaise didn’t do anything for me. Would have liked it to have a bit of a kick. For mains my fellow diner and I went with pie of the day. This was Minced Meat and Onion. You get the option of either garden or mushy peas or beans. The food was piping hot. Enjoyed the chips and the gravy that was served with it in a little gravy boat was delicious. Didn’t really need the gravy for the pie. Would have liked a few more chips but can’t really complain about the size of the portion when you consider the price. For pudding we both went with Apple Crumble. This came with ice cream and a choice of either custard or cream. We both went for the custard. The ice cream was delicious. The custard and the apple lovely. But both of us weren’t over keen on the crumble. It was more the texture than the taste. We finished with coffees. One cappuccino and one flat white. Not the best coffees we have ever had but certainly not the worst. And we got plenty of sugar brought to the table. It’s so annoying in some places were they bring one or two small lumps with your drink. Or even in some places no sugar at all and you have to ask for it. Total bill with the addition of 2 pints of San Miguel at £6.00 each and a Lime and Soda at £2.10 was £53.25. You just cannot fault this for value for money. And I must add a note about the service. It was great. Right from the off we were made to feel welcome. We were asked if we had any allergies. After every course, during our mains and when we went to pay we were asked if everything had been ok. It was. Great value for money with service that was friendly, good humoured and competent. I have no problem in recommending this establishment for an inexpensive but filling lunch. This will definitely be going onto our places to visit again list.

Beautiful food , higher priced than some but the food quality was terrific

Our meal was booked for 16.15,we were on time,had to wait 3/4 of an hour,we sat ordered food and waited nearly two hours,,the food was luke warm, did not enjoy it.The meat was tender but was warm,veg was cold,did not order sweets as we could not wait that long,too old for that I would not eat here again and I would not recommend it,expensive for the quality .Need to train staff about interacting with cliental.

Very nice public house with a good menu . It was a busy evening when our party arrived but we were seated quite quickly and served. Food was good 'pub' grub and there was plenty of it. Some of the furniture had seen better days but was ok.

Thoroughly enjoyed our evening here. Service, food & atmosphere were very good. Big bonus- they welcomed Bernard our Rottweiler who behaved impeccably 🙂.

We called for fish and chips as it’s the best in the area. As usual it didn’t fail beautifully cooked. Also the staff were amazing, very attentive and helpful.

Went quite late on a Sunday for Roast dinner, lovely place, friendly staff, great service and amazing food.

Absolutely beautiful meal today, thank you Becki for looking after us. Stuffed and very happy! Will definitely come back

Excellent place..nice warm and friendly welcome..food was good.. probably a little more expensive than I'm used to in a pub..but non the less fair value for money..it's not close to my home..but close to my sister who is in a care home and we took out for lunch there..will definitely go again! 😀

Excellent food, very friendly and accommodating, highly recommended.

The BEST place locally to get a great roast on a Sunday.

Just moved into the area and let me tell you this atmosphere is deader than a library and a funeral at a church. If you laugh in here it’s like a scene out of hot fuzz.(Literally full of serial killers) The chicken in here is drier than my feet after spending the day on the beach.

Cosy & but service a bit lacking. Had the 2 course for £14.95. Good value

Very nice place staff very friendly service is great. Lovely views

Nice gaff with an open fire in the bad weather. Good quality reasonably priced food. Lovely beer garden in the summer with the sun setting on the other side of the valley.

Popped in impromptu for lunch during the week. The service was good and very welcoming. The food itself came out a little too fast, as if it had just been heated up rather than cooked from fresh.

Best food this side of Manchester. Great service and location. Carpark can be full quickly so be prepared for that. Cheap food but don't let that fool you into thinking the food is a kind of way because it's incredible

Incredible food, great staff, quick food turn around.

Nice pub food looked good but we only went for a drink

Top place and I will definitely be going back

Please disregard the menu showing online and add £5 to everything. I wouldn't recommend the steak and ale pie, very little meat and like "lumpy gloop"!!! So disappointed as this used to be a family favourite destination. I will start looking for new local eateries and avoid avoid avoid until a new chef or change of menu takes place !!! Disappointing

Great local pub, good food, nice staff.

Really good menu choices, executed well, attentive and friendly staff in a comfortable atmosphere.

Fantastic little cosy Inn, Sunday dinners are excellent 👌

Had the light bite menu. Very good food reasonably priced. Good cellar too. Had JWLees also noticed Home Farm Shiraz on wine list - a good sign

Lovely friendly staff, lovely food 😋😋......most definitely be back 👍👍

Pleasant comfortable pub food great, staff lovely.

The food is awesome... Best Sunday lunch ever

Really great local place to eat for me always satisfied and a good beer with nice food and great staff, never let's.me.down x

Good food. Wonderful pleasant staff!

A bit expensive, it was cold to sit in

Food not as good as usual. Toilet in ladies.hz black mould on bottom.

Had the cosy lunch. Good quality food, friendly staff and dogs are welcome. I'm sure we will be returning.

Food was lovley ..we will be back ..like tonight

Nipped in here for a drink after a day's walking. Friendly greeting, interior very nicely laid out - Halloween next week, everything looking suitably spooky. Had a pint of their pale ale which slipped down very nicely. Will call again.

Very enjoyable evening, excellent meal, first class service. It was early, so not too many in, but easy parking, very clean and a place we could all visit again.

Service is great. Food arrived quick and was nice.

Pleasantly surprised that our off the cuff night out for dinner was as nice as it was Good food, friendly service and a homely atmosphere 👌

Very well looked after recommended

Food was excellent but the service was a little hit and miss. After waiting a while I actually went to the bar not realizing we should order at the table. Milk was missing from my wife's tea and it took a while to raise the alarm as there was no one around for large chunks of time. Eventually someone came but then the milk still didn't arrive forcing me to go and find it myself. I think the atmosphere would be better on a different table but we were in an alcove and felt a little out of things. All three courses were absolutely beautiful though hence 4 stars overall.

Was put in a alcove it was very cold .Took 15 minutes for a menu to be bought to table.30 minutes for meal

Not at all impressed. We were a party of three. We ordered drinks after being sat for ten minutes ( my son had to call the waitress) who said she'd be straight over, the my husband called the same waitress after we saw her chatting. She came over apologised and placed our order. I ordered tea. She brought the tea with no milk so my son asked the manager who laughed and said, yeah she's always like that. The the nanager forgot too! By the time I got mymilk my tea was cold and the manager offered me a new one. The same went for our meal, the service was just awful shich was a shame as the food wasn't half bad. 😕 such a shame for the chef as I gave him/her a well deserved 5*

Great service , dog friendly. Came here today for the 1st time following a long local walk. Gorgeous home made tomato soup followed by the nicest roast dinner Iv had in a while . Beautiful carved Turkey & lovely portions of mash , roast and veg cooked perfectly. I will be back ! Thank you , other pubs need to learn from yourselves how to serve everything on your plate so hot tasty & fresh

Great pub fantastic views had a good pint of Guinness and the Sunday lunch sharer it was really good quality and good portions too

Lovely service, thank you for everything you did for us the food was so nice thank you to Lucy very kind helpful

Despite problems with the gas in the kitchen a decent meal was served. A great, plump beef and ale pie. Helpful staff.

Nice food good service on the bar and restaurant

If you stop by, go for the cheese and onion pie! The roast was good. Potatoes were just perfect. I had better gravy and the beef was well cooked. (Pause/ rigorous grapple on the sofa.) “My misses is too nice. The beef was a little too well done - I like a bit of blood in my cow! HOWEVER…. The cheese & onion pie was the business! Worth checking out!”

Great views, friendly staff, well priced food and drink

I am sorry I have no pictures, but everything was lovely. The staff is polite and friendly, the price very reasonable and the food delicious. My granddaughter is extremely fussy about her food, but thoroughly enjoyed it, as we all did. Thank you so much 💓

Superb place for a good Sunday lunch. They do a sharing option for 2 people too, which is excellent value

I saw an advert for a garden party here so my husband and I went down there, there was a singer who was good but apart from a few games for the kids there wasn't anything there. In my opinion it wasn't a garden party. But my husband and I decided to stay and had a meal in the pub, the staff were friendly and helpful especially as I have food allergies. The food was nice and not too expensive.

Visited many times. Usually great food especially scallops, but last week not so great, for food or service. Child's portion steak £27.00 Scallops like marbles hmmmm very unlike this pub

The Sunday roast sharing platter was absolutely fantastic and such good value for money. 3/4 pieces of each meat (ham, turkey and beef) loads of veg, mash etc - and unlimited gravy! Everything homemade and you can tell the chef clearly takes pride in what they are serving, perfectly seasoned too. Nice decor and friendly service. Will definitely be back!

Great value for money. Friendly staff. Lots of choice on the menu.

Just been to the duckworth arms ,what a lovely pub ,the service was excellent, our waitresses izzy and evie were excellent, really friendly and efficient, the food was great too ,will definitely be back.

Lovely food,friendly attentive staff...recommended.

Great pub nice food and service lovely beer garden give it a try 😀

A very quiet Tuesday evening was the time of our visit the young lady who served us was very good and we soon had our food which we all tucked into and enjoyed, would we return yes I think that my happen
