Northern Crafthouse in Bury

It's just not The Bulls Head (that it used to be 😒)

Food was very poor, when I complained, no one followed it up... Drinks are ultra expensive, prices like in city centre, for a struggling provincial outlet, more attention to customer satisfaction, food needs to be served hot and dressed well... You let yourselves down tonight. We spent over £70 for a less than mediocre service.

Have been coming here for years. No offence at all to the other chefs but they have a new young team and the food was unreal! Best food I’ve had there and maybe the best burger I’ve ever eaten. Steak and bacon and all three of us who had it were absolutely wowed. Perfectly cooked and excellent in terms of quality and quantity of meat. My Dad and my Uncle love coming here and we will be back.

Great place but needs to order more Neck Oil as it has been off on our last 2 visits. Great atmosphere, well run and hardworking staff. Food is great with regular changes to the menu. Highly recommend

Taco Tuesday is great value for money, £1 tacos with your beer, what's not to love

The food was served very quick and the service was top notch Steph was very polite and was very nice to hand me my dips and drinks. 10/10 location for me and service is great 👍🏻.

I wouldn’t know about the food as they don’t do anything hardly on the menu on a Sunday.

Been in here today for a couple of glasses of wine. The pub its self needs a make over....Seats are extremely dirty....Didn't know where to sit....The wine was £9 Per Glass...I would have told them to put it back in the bottle, but unfortunately I wasn't paying.....Never to return! No wonder it was empty at those prices.

Excellent food. We, visited on a Tuesday where every Taco is £1.00. However, we couldn't resist the sharing platter which was delicious ! Nice ambience and service with a smile 😁.

The food is always spot on. Nice friendly staff and good atmosphere.

Just visited for drinks on this occasion. A very enjoyable evening.

First time I have visited and found it a little rough with rowdy lads in who had too much to drink....Won't visit again

Me and my partner fancied a nice burger. Had a search for places in the area and came across this place. Very affordable prices for a new small business. I’m from Manchester but don’t live there anymore; was visiting my family and it was 20/25 minutes away so not too far out either. Music was great atmosphere was nice too; also love the design of the place! Shoutout to staff member Shalea (sorry if spelt wrong) your service was absolutely amazing!! You were understanding and catered to our needs. The drink you made was very nice! Kitchen staff thankyou for separating the coleslaw and cheese sauce off the burgers; made it easier to eat. The burger tasted absolutely delicious genuinely one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Service was very quick. Absolutely loved the sweet potato fries.

Left motorway and found this gem. Best burgers we've eaten in years. Friendly service and great value.

Always very impressed with the quality and value of the food. A welcoming atmosphere with exceptional service.

Best place to eat for miles around and the kids love it too.

The best bar in Manchester. Just letting you know. Top food, top cocktails. Wonderful staff. And cheap. What's not to like.

First time .....won't be the last time , quality food , keep up the good work

Really lovely place with great food! My husband order a burger and I ordered a burrito. Enjoyed the food and the price was reasonable. If there's an improvement maybe it would be nice to have a spiced rice instead of plain rice for the burrito as it watered down the taste but overall, we enjoyed the food. Husband said it was probably the best burger that he had in Manchester! The fries that we had was amazing too! We'd love to be back and try the other stuff in their menu.

Great food, great friendly service will defo go back

Called for lunch on a wet Wednesday. Lovely and polite lady served us. Good menu we had tacos, burritos and chilli Natchos. Good came quickly and was really tasty. Highly recommend

This is a great place for drinks unfortunately I haven't tried the the food as of yet, but the burgers look amazing

Perfect service from Shay and food matched the service 10/10 Certainly worth a visit if you like burgers as much as I do!

The Sunday roast burger is one of the best things I've ever eaten and I highly recommend adding the loaded tots on the side if you have the stomach for it! All parts of the burger were superb. Tasty chicken and delicious thick beef patties. The mini pigs in blankets were lush aswell. I've been meaning to come back here after a fantastic previous visit a couple of years ago and I'm delighted I finally managed to make the trip. Once again the staff were top notch and the food was excellent as well as great value! I've also just been back for their Festive specials and highly recommend them too. Incredible! Next visit: Hit the spot as always! Despite being a big fan of pulled pork in a burger it's taken until my 5th visit to have Northern Crafthouses offering. As on all my previous experiences, it was delicious! The staff tried to deprive me of my burger fix (unintentionally!). They misheard my order and only brought my Buttermilk Chicken and tater tots. They soon wheeled out the burger so it wasn't an issue at all. This did mean I didn't get the pickles asked to be added in though because that's what prompted them to realise I actually ordered a burger. The burger patty aren't great quality meat (not a bad thing) but were cooked nicely and were really chunky. Really tasty pulled pork and cheese sauce. The slider on top didn't add much and is just a gimmick really. The fried chicken also went down a treat too. Lovely seasoning and nice crisp coating. Although I'd have preferred smaller strips instead of 2 big pieces. The staff are always a joy and it remains my favourite place around the Manchester area for burgers. I was a little disappointed to hear they've stopped their Sunday Dinner menu because that roast burger was superb!

So, apparently I am invisible to the bar staff at this place. Waited at the bar for a good long time the other night with not one of them even acknowledging my existence. Everyone was /studiously/ looking down. One young kid stood directly in front of me, slicing limes as painstakingly and slowly as if it were brain surgery, while another spent 15 minutes filling up one blender. Another barmaid only served people at one corner of the bar, so I guess it was my fault for not standing at the correct corner? Maybe I stood in the exact spot that had a freak invisibility force field around it, who knows. I wanted to like it here, but no one wanted my money, so we left and had a fun night at some other bars. :)

This place is wonderful in everyway the food is incredible there is not much to desire except the fact how loud it is

Great meal last night - all 4 mains were excellent and sides were enormous! Lovely meal and great service- will be back !

Visited for the first time during the January offer . There was six of us and we each selected something of the menu. There is a selection of beers and wines. All in all had a good evening and will visit again soon.

What a great place to celebrate our daughter’s 30th birthday. Northern Crafthouse looked after everything perfectly for us. The food was perfect and enjoyed by all, they even provided gluten free food for one of our guests. The conservatory was the perfect size for the number of guests we had. Thank you Northern Crafthouse you really helped make a special occasion extra special.

A really lovely place. Been here a few times now and I'm genuinely never disappointed. The welcome is always lovely and the food is good portions and always tasty.

Visually intriguing, simplistic and absolutley phenomenal. George has outdone himself. Fourth time going and never gets old. A whitefield masterpiece (personal opinion)

Only went for a coffee, Great service Not busy, as only early.

Best place for food in the area! Best tacos I've ever had. Great selection of cocktails and beer

Not a massive range of drinks to choose from and expensive. There were plenty of staff working but weren't in a hurry to serve us.

Nice cocktails pleasant staff good chips an burger-love the vimto cocktails food really good an not too expensive went sat afternoon when it was sunny so good day staff attentive

With a name like that I thought it would be a beer lovers heaven.. it isn't choice ok put predictable and limited.. the food we had was nice and my kids loved their mad cocktails they had ..outside seating leaves something to be desired awkward uncomfortable and in poor condition ok if your 20 but not at my age right on the main road so a little noisy and chaotic but on the other hand good to people watch .. ok but more for youngster's

Good and tasty food with drinks but could use a healthier option or 2 for visiting groups with health conscious guests.

Excellent food, enjoyed many burgers and different fries. Large portions. Couldn't fault anything I ate.

I love the Northern Crafthouse, it would be hands down a 5 star review with a couple of small changes. There is always a good atmosphere and good service, a decent selection of beers and nice food. There used to be a fantastic menu with loads of choice, but it mainly focuses on burgers now, which are good, but the menu was incredible before. Not sure why they changed it! Bring back 'The Royal Fryness' - hands down the best thing I've eaten from here! Lastly, while the Neck Oil here is a fantastic pint, I do wish they offered a good old pint of Guinness. Overall Northern Crafthouse is a top quality place that could be incredible with a couple simple tweaks!

Great bar and restaurant. Food is great (burgers) and they have a good selection of drinks

Definitely my personal favourite bar in the North Manchester area. Barstaff have customer service mastered. The owner is creating something special in the area.

Everytime I come here I immediately remember why I return. The staff are top drawer and make you feel at home. More importantly the food is amazing and dirt cheap compared to similar types of place. I had my first Northern Crafthouse chicken burger experience and the 'Winner Winner' was just that! 2 lovely crisp pieces of chicken with plenty of messy garlic mayo, fresh lettuce and my addition of pickles (cut the proper way!) all housed in a sweet soft buttery bun. I also had the Bacon Mac Tater Tots which were packed with thick cheese and went down a treat. Yet again a really enjoyable meal and I'm sure to be back again soon!

Lovely food and atmosphere different come again

1st time here and such a lovely choice of ales and cocktails. Also the food is great here too.

The staff here really went above and beyond for us tonight. We have a teenager daughter with autism for whom crowds and loud noises can bring on sensory overloads and we also had a grandparent who has a restricted salt diet but the Northern crafthouse took it all in their stride, finding us a quieter part of the bar for my daughter and also helping with menu choices and adapting one of the meals to have minimal salt. Everyone really enjoyed their meals and had a great time. A definite place to visit if you want a great tasting burger, with good portions of everything and great staff who know how to please.

I was impressed with the politeness of the staff and were very welcoming. Great place with great rustic features. Great assortment of games for customers to partake in, and good value for food and drink. Overall great place!!

Brunch menu is absolutely brilliant. Had the big northern breakfast, pancakes, breakfast burritos & the regular northern breakfast over the last couple of weekends and everything has been hot & tasty! Get down there 👍

Popped in for a quick meal and the service was great also the food the only thing is the burgers could do with an upgrade! Toast your buns and source better meat besides that everything was great and the food was still nice! I'm just picky

Always have nice IPAs on tap, great service, good food and nice atmosphere

Really good service. We went on a day where there was 40% off the food bill and ordered more than we needed to. The portion sizes are large. Great if there is a crowd of you for sharing.

Great food & service. Highly recommend the burgers 🍔

Absolutely love this place! The food and drinks are reasonably priced, compared to most places, and the quality is really great! I highly recommend trying the Manchester Tart cocktail! It's even topped with a decorative, and edible, design!

The food and drinks are very nice, portions are generous for the price so good value. Restaurant looks clean and attractive, thought seems to been put into every detail. Everything tasted really good from the coffee to the fries. Our server was really friendly too. Would recommend going!

Nice pub, shame barmaid served 2 locals whilst ignoring us. Didn't have any food but menu looked good.

Didn’t feel like a drink or food went to meet family it wasn’t a problem and they served me a glass of iced water which was most welcome.

Love this place! The food and drinks are amazing. Cocktails are fabulous and they do mocktails too. Service is great. Also there are a lot of interesting board games.

Called in Friday night for a quick pint before moving on to a curry, staff very helpful and got drinks straight away. Hidden gem really, just a shame foods not served later because we would have eaten there instead!

The food was great and the staff really friendly . It's just lack of something ?? maybe deco or atmosphere it was missing something for me that end wow thing. Hence in total 4 stars. My tacos were delicious, portions are plenty, we got more than we could eat 😋 I really recommend

All 5 of us enjoyed our food, it was very tasty. The service was excellent, efficient and friendly. Will definitely be back!

Nice, diverse clientele - not too hipster, not chavvy. Extremely friendly service. The food is tasty pub grub.

Excellent service and food - highly recommended!

The food is top quality, and it's a good atmosphere. And the staff are excellent, friendly and welcoming

TOP!! food and quality I had the steak tacos and they were the best I have ever had and at a really good price

Great godfather and old-fashioned .

Awesome food, really good service

Excellent service lovely atmosphere and great food.

Great people, great food. Love it!

A gem in Whitefield. The drinks are varied and reasonably priced. The food is generously portioned. The staff are sometimes a little flustered due to being busy, but the service is always excellent

New place for me nice relaxing pub, food n beer fab

A nice place for Friday night drinks. We booked the conservatory and enjoyed the space as a mini function room. Bartender made good cocktails, mostly larger groups drinking post work.

Yet again I've been blown away by this absolute gem. Their festive specials are incredible. A delightful burger, superb loaded fries and nicest gravy I've ever had! One small thing was that there wasn't pigs in blankets on the fries as listed on the menu but sausage slices instead. However I still enjoyed every mouthful. As always the service was fantastic. My favourite place in the UK for burgers.

We’ve eaten here a couple of times in the past few months and the food has always been really good - fresh, well presented and tasty. Food served until 10pm as well which is great. Staff are lovely and like to have a laugh which is nice to see and have a good selection of drinks & cocktails too.

My son in law organised a surprise 30th for my daughter here. & it was superb. He booked it for an afternoon because the guest list included a few children. We were allowed to decorate the room and had exclusive use until 8pm. The food was so good. They served burgers, taco's, pulled pork wraps plus a selection of chips, plain to spicy. The quality was first class & the portions were very generous. My one & only minor criticism is that the bar could have benefitted from additional staff.

Not able to pre book a table(service not offered for groupa under 8), so turned up hopeful of avoiding a wait for a table, but were seated straight away. Place seemed nice and clean, staff friendly, drinks order taken straight away. As soon as drinks arrived food order was taken and food arrived quickly, well presented and hot. Portion sizes were good, i had the hot chicken burger which was lovely, if very messy to eat. Loaded fries had plenty of toppings. Only niggle was a second drink somehow turned up with a rolled up waitors order in it along with the straw, staff were very apologetic and stuff like this does happen in busy places but it wasn't ideal! Asked for bill to the table but waited until table had been cleared round us and we hadn't got one, so paid at the till on the way out. Overall really good food, just wants a little bit extra staff attention to make it 5*

Always rate this place, mainly because the staff here really look after you. Vibe here is always great and there’s something for everyone. Great selection of drink available and the food is spot on.

The place is really nice looking and felt very clean. The food was incredible. I had the katsu bowl and the portions are very generous and priced very fairly. The reason for 3 stars was the atmosphere. It's stuck between being a restaurant and a bar that sells food. Was there for a family catch up sit down meal and it was just so loud. Unbearably loud. You couldn't have a conversation with the person sat opposite you. If you're out for a few drinks and food is a secondary thought then this place would be ideal. If you're out for a nice relaxed sit down meal. Then this isn't the place.

Visited with family for a birthday meal. Food was delicious and very generous portions 5/5 for food service was ok, very friendly staff but not great at clearing empty glasses from table and food all came out at separate times so some members of group were half way through meal before others received their meal and some glasses were chipped. Atmosphere wasn't for me it's very loud, music was very loud and customers all shout talking had the feel of a bar on a night out rather than restaurant I've not marked down for that as that's just personal prefernce. Over all nice place, great food just not for me.

Portions are so generous and food was very tasty. Beer reasonably priced as well.

Situated on a main road with very little space on the side street, parking close wasn't easy. But the place itself is excellent. Well decorated and welcoming. The food was delicious. Well presented with big portions. Staff were very nice and helpful, and prices are very reasonable. Will definitely be back.

My 2 children, Wife and I just had a nice meal here. Service was great, food fantastic and they have Clwb Tropica on tap so, what’s not to like? The kids couldn’t finish the Cookie Dough but asked when we can go back after. Thanks for a nice meal guys 👍🏼

Great atmosphere, great team, great food.... oh and great drinks 😬

Lovely place, great selection of canned and bottled beers, I had the rubarb and custard cocktail WOW, so good, has board games and books was too late for food bit been told it's lovely. One issue, the table was sticky

Quite cold in here last night. Like this place but it is a bit staff canteenish. A few craft beers and lagers on tap. Few more in the fridge. Wife had a pineapple IPA from Tiny Rebel and put a sweetner in it. She loved it, not my taste though. Had a Neck Oil, very nice. Food is burgers and hot dogs etc. We tried the two types of hot dog and they were very nice. £8 & £10. Kinda prefer the ones you get from a stall in Manchester and cheaper but times are tough for pubs. Drinking area at the front. Staff are great, very friendly.

I didn't go to Northern Crafthouse, went to Stirling Hairdressers,

Absolutely brilliant food at a reasonable price. Went along for an early birthday meal for my daughter - all the family loved their food and we'll definitely be returning!

Nice easy food glad the battered jalapeño are back ,served by Poppy who was lovely and always has a lovely smile 😃

The Sunday roast burger is one of the best things I've ever eaten and I highly recommend adding the loaded tots on the side if you have the stomach for it! All parts of the burger were superb. Tasty chicken and delicious thick beef patties. The mini pigs in blankets were lush aswell.

Un gran sitio donde comer. Buena calidad de los productos así como amabilidad de la camarera. El precio está muy bien para lo que ponen. Especial mención al brownie, muy muy bueno. En el otro lado están los churros, seguramente más que decentes para los ingleses pero muy industriales para un español que los coma de manera regular. En cualquiera de los casos un buen lugar para comer/cenar

Lovely to sit outside with a cold beer

Food hot, staff great, would go again

Friendly fast service in this modern pub.

Lovely food and great cocktails Will return.

Massive portions, great food and so cheap!!!

Lovely food and decent sized portions x

Always excellent service, quality food and plenty of cocktails.

Drinks were nice, wasn’t a nice way to be greeted as wasn’t welcomed, just told dogs were only allowed out side, so I’d say not really a dog friendly place. Bar staff was nice.

Good food, US, tex-mex style. Big wave on tap

Oh Crafthouse we love you but tonight wasn’t worth the calories. Our burgers were (very!) over cooked and luke warm. Yes we should have complained but we were so hungry we ate them. They shouldn’t have left the kitchen like that really. The food is normally sooooo amazing. We will be back for more fab food soon.

Lovely friendly place & Good ale.
