The classic burger, was one of the tastiest, I have experienced. Cooked well with great flavours, my 1st visit left me wanting to go back the very next day. The chips, had a wonderful seasoning. The cocktails were on par with the best I have had, if not better. The ipa was similar in my opinion to neck oil, one of my favourite drinks. Waitress was brilliant, cook was stupendous. Hope this is just as good when we return. Thank you to both.

We popped into Garrards on a Sunday evening when last minute we fancied eating out. We were happy we could take the dog with us. Grace served us and was fantastic, advising us on dishes and her recommendations didn't disappoint. Me and husband chose the beef brisket and it was absolutely delicious, the best roast we've had in Leigh in a long time. My son was so happy with his burger, Garrards is his favourite place to eat in and he said it was yummy as usual, he loves it!! Service was really spot on and there is always a great atmosphere in there. We'll be back soon! Thank you Grace and team

Wonderful food for great prices with great service. Went there with my mum for her birthday and was served by Jack who was very polite and helpful and made it a wonderful experience. The food was all fresh and delicious and there were a great variety of options to pick from so would love to go back. The weekday lunch deal is a great price especially but it would have been worth paying full price for the quality being served. Great meal, great service. Recommended.

Been here many times but first time since update. What a shambles waited an hour for food, starters came out with mains although requested before all the time there is a constant stream of takeaway motorcycles in and out, the music got louder and louder think this was to drown out the awful noise from the milkshake machine which was horrendous to be honest. Ribs were overcooked and dry when I found the meat on them paper under burgers shredded when trying to eat them when we spoke to waitress about it little notice was taken then in a moment the table was cleared from under us with half drank drinks removed obviously we weren’t welcome anymore. Paid the bill was told that there was a 30% service charge (had that removed) then was told that items would be removed from the bill then discovered they were not. Would have liked dessert and more drinks however we were made so unwelcome horrible experience won’t be going here again shame as we have been many times before. We were a party of nine maybe too much for them to cope sadly won’t be returning.

Don't order the chicken burgers. Really bad buns and pretty dry meat. The fries and dips were okay. Service was good and cocktails were nice.

I cannot, in good conscience, recommend Garrards. I came here for my birthday, for a rack of pork ribs. Particularly, I came on a Thursday as this is when steak and ribs are 50% off if you order them with a side. The ribs were alright, same thing you'd get at a harvester, just a lot more expensive. My wife's steak on the other hand was a low quality piece of meat, full of sinew and gristle. It also did not come with a sauce, this was a £5 additional charge. The best part of the meal was the dirty fries. I cannot fault these. Service was nothing special, just average if a bit slow. But still, an 8.5% service charge was mandatory and this is where I draw the line. The prices here are outrageous, more expensive than London for regular pub grub, and just because it's all so expensive, the service charge is also. I wish it were normal for venues to pay their staff appropriately rather than dipping their hands into the pockets of their customers, but alas still this practice continues. If you're reading this review, do yourself a favour and go to Continente Café a couple streets away. I actually do tip there because the food is great, the prices are great, and the service is always friendly. They serve good cuts of steak, cook them properly, and they come with a sauce and a side, which would cost you around £38 here for an inferior product. Garrards, you should consider dropping your prices to something standard for Essex and stop adding a mandatory service charge for a 2 person table. You won't be seeing me again.

A lively atmosphere for a Saturday afternoon bottomless brunch. Enjoyed the food and drinks. My only suggestion would be to use bigger serving plates .. the huge, stacked burgers are not easy to eat and need disassembling unless you have huge jaws 😀

Racist actually disgusting anyone would think it's the 1960s in mississipi. Turned up ordered another 8 tables after we ordered all had there food before us waited ab hr and a half. We are a mixed couple even when we got up yo pay the chef was giving disgusting looks to my partner. We didn't even to get to sit down and actually have a meal which I'd the saddest part as being a young family we rarely have time to ourselves after kids so needless to say we was extremely up and disappointed 😞 would never go there again!!!!!

We have been here a few times. The food was really nice as always, but too much dressing in one of the salads which made it inedible, other than that the food and drinks were great. Waitress was pleasant but the only server working so service was slow. This didn’t cause an issue for us but if you were after a quick meal this would not be the place. The barman was quite rude to the kitchen staff for all to hear but other than that it was an enjoyable evening.

Went here for a birthday. It's our 2nd visit and both times have been absolutely perfect in every aspect. Food is gorgeous, really good quality and loads of flavour. I'd recommend the loaded fries, burgers and the beef rib. The batter on the pickles and onion rings is so nice. Both times we've had really lovely staff, could not fault them in any way. Price is good considering the quality. And they do deals also. I'd thoroughly recommend going here, whether it's a random visit or a celebration. Well always return here!

Perfect family friendly restaurant. It was my son's 8th birthday and as he loves a burger he chose Garrards for his birthday meal. He decided he could manage an adult sized burger and chips and he finished every last bit and was very happy (and stuffed!!) We love it here, every time we visit the staff are friendly, helpful, professional and make us feel very welcome. There is loads of choice on the menu and everything is delicious! We think they are the best burgers around and will be back again soon.

We ordered 2 chicken burgers which were not nice to eat very dry and tough I ordered a kids meal for my daughter with 2 sides and was charged £7.50 for some unpleasant chicken, which they didn't eat and £9 for some chips so in total was charged £16 for a kids meal. which they didn't even eat as it was quote on quote yukky. The service was good but that unfortunately was the only positive I have. Unfortunately, my partners 30th birthday lunch was not enjoyable.
