Sparking Clog in Bury

First time here. Everything was good apart from the food. The fish didn't taste fresh, you can tell by the taste and look of the meat. The classic burger was very dry. Overall disappointed with the food. I don't expect high standard quality for pub food but I do at least expect certain level of standard. So unfortunately won't come back, but maybe But apart from the food, nice pub for drinks.

Food was amazing. Emma was lovely

Been the last two Monday evenings for food. The place was freezing! both times. Almost walked out but wifey was hungry. Food OK. Will give it a miss for a few weeks to see if heating turned on

I ordered online as the table requested us to do, 2 otherss in the party ordered at the bar, 45 mins later I still hadn't even received the drinks, let alone the food. We went to the bar to ask what's happening as it was not a busy time at all, to be told oh we are having an inspection in the kitchen and no one is even seeing the orders let alone processing them, it won't be long now. Had we known any of this information at the time of ordering we probably would have gone elsewhere but the lack of communication was a massive factor. Then 2 of our meals came out and we tried to wait for the 3rd but it was going cold so we had to eat, after we finished our meals we had to go and ask again what's happening to be told oh her pizza hasn't even gone in the oven yet! Well why would you serve half a table their meals when the others haven't even started being cooked!!

Chef hannah really did what I asked for. I have an intolerance to milk and she actually came to me in person and told me that she did not put any milk in my food whatsoever as i was unsure if i said it vocally enough to staff. I really actually appreciated that. She was so warm amd friendly too. I don't usually leave reviews however, she needs recognition and I will be going with my gran and sister again. Plus, my meal was hot and fit as. Thanks for a great service. My nan had a nice day out

Amazing food and atmosphere! Staff friendly and always happy to help! Have been here a few times now and have loved it every time.

Been here a few times. The menu is decent and the pub is huge inside.

Stopped for a drink walking the dog. He ataff were friendly and gave me a bowl for the dog. Sat outside and it was a nice atmosphere.

Food was amazing and arrived fast, our waitress made sure we had everything we needed and made sure we had a great experience

went for a catchup meal with my family here today. i had the garlic doughballs for a starter and fish and chips for the main, the fish was crispy and doughballs were perfection. the atmosphere was perfect for a family catchup and the staff were accommodating for my dads allergies and went above and beyond for us

Good food today and the atmosphere was on point....I would recommend going also I've heard it's karaoke on the 19th so I'm probably going to that

Excellent pub, food was lovely especially the pizzas, staff were really friendly and helpful. Dog friendly is a bonus. Would definitely visit again

I was welcome by the new management and I can not wait to see what they do with the place. I came in for some lunch with friends and had the pizza. It was amazing. I will definitely be back

Lovely food, nice atmosphere great for a family meal. The staff are also really friendly and attentive!

Came in with my partner for a meal today, which was really nice the staff are very friendly and welcoming on arrival! Will definitely be returning

This is my local pub that I visit frequently. The service is always great and the staff are very friendly. Great selection of drinks and the food is delicious, especially the pizzas! Great menu selection too.

Called into this pub with a recommendation from a friend and I’m so glad I came! I was greeted with such an amazing friendly member of staff behind the bar! They had a great selection of wines to choose from! Food was great, and the vegan chicken strips were to die for!! Will definitely be coming back again!

Came in for food with my family, service was great staff were very friendly and poured a good pint. I had a steak which came cooked as i wanted and was very tasty. Will definitely be coming back soon.

We visited this week and the food was lovely. We really enjoyed the meat lover pizza! And my friend had the ultimate spicy beef burger! All while watching England play. Fantastic atmosphere. Great service. Nice to meet the new managers they seem lovely. Can't wait to visit again soon.

The service was great we were looked after and made very welcome

Lovely food but for a catering service the toilets were discussing. We came in on a Saturday afternoon, All toilets were discraful,. Sprayed poo all over each underneath seat. The toilet floor had a wet signs up as if the cleaner had been in but the sinks were dirty. For a food orientation place, the hygiene of the toilets should be made a priority. I would honestly say it was disgusting.

Food was poor, Burger was bland and I asked for a medium rare streak and it came very well done. I would have asked for it to be changed but we had to be somewhere else. The kids said they enjoyed their food. We wont be returning as there are far better places around for the price I paid.

Staff were very helpful. Food was tasty and good value for money

It's was a really great experience. I will be definitely coming back.

Quick service and great food during our visit on Saturday from Tom the chef. Thank you

Dirty floor & tables...Poor customer service....Gin but no Tonic? No atmosphere...no desire to return.

Nice visit with the family. Gary and the team are fab, great food and drinks!

Gary and the team are doing a fantastic job!

Excellent service from Emma, attentive and lovely. The food was delicious, Tom and Alex can be proud!

we been coming for year and it good food and cheap and good parking

Food was ok, but ordering it was a pain. We tried to order via the QR Code on the table (we were at table 5), but then when we tried to add our Meerkat discount there was nowhere to add it. I then had to go to the bar to re-order it all so that we could use the Meerkat discount. All in all, it took longer to order the food than it took the chef to cook it.

Great visit with awesome food. My steak was cooked perfectly. Gary was great and will definitely be back 👍

Went to lunch with my wife and daughter, we were greeted immediately as we went in. I placed a food order online on my phone and it worked well. Staff were really friendly. Food came quickly and was really nice. A big thanks guys!

Great food and friendly atmosphere

Food was delicious and piping hot when it came to our table.

Brand new experience. Left very happy. My brother has a dog with separation anxiety and we were able to celebrate my mums birthday with him as you were able to accommodate his dog without us being left outside. Very happy with the experience and likely to come back

Book 7:00 table for food 8:00 meeting with psychic. Was told I could not have food. The bar staff was lazy weighted between 7 and 10 minutes to be served. Was given the wrong change of £10 needed to argue to get my money back. Will go back to visit psychic but not that pub.

Angel and Lauren were very friendly and attentive. Food was lovely.

i live local to the sparking clog everytime i go in it is very welcoming there is a girl angel behind the bar who was lovely and efficient in helping me with my order

visited sparking clog for my mum's birthday and angel was amazing! she provided us with excellent service and seemed all round happy to be there. we will definitely come back!

Food was amazing and great service from angel she was amazing !!!

Lovely friendly staff, gorgeous food will certainly be going back xx great service from Han, Lewis and Bec

Tables are always sticky, we had to ask for a cloth and wipe our table. Breaded mushrooms could have done with a plate as they were hard to eat out the bowl. Food is nice good menu and great bar drinks choices. Angel is plesant serving us you have nice staff.

My experience was great here. My steak meal, which I had ordered, was cooked to perfection, and the service was excellent. I was taken out for a meal as a thank-you reward for volunteering. My Rocky Road sundae was delicious, too, although I wish I should have asked for extra chocolate sauce and Marshmellows on top as they had made their way underneath my ice cream, but either way, it was delicious. It's great for a meal for all occasions, but note that children do have to be off the premises at a certain time.

Good friendly pub, great place to go with family or your friends.

Jodie and Bec make the best garlic breads you can get in Radcliffe I won’t go anywhere else for a garlic bread !!! Lots of love all the boys at Radcliffe tyres

We booked a 21st family birthday. Had the steak and ale pie and was upset to find a nasty piece of whatever it was in the meal. An unfortunate family that were there for a wake and buffet ended up sat near us and they must have felt as awkward as we did.

Popped in on the off chance and had a "light bite". Service was good (Liv and Emma) and so was food (Tom)

Wish they would clean their tables properly. They are always sticky.

The male toilets were absolutely disgusting and always have been for at least 15 years, as I know of. Service is poor. I have not had food for a while, but that was OK, nothing special. Avoid is the best thing.

The got our hole order wrong give me the wrong pizza no beans food is shocking. When told the waiter that it was the wrong pizza I was given attitude back .0

Food was amazing, thank you Tom and Alex! Lovely service from Emma and Lauren! So friendly and genuinely nice people. We come here often, it's dog friendly which is a selling point for us!

I came in for a pint after work like I do most days went to the bar an the barmaid Olivia just turned round an started moving stock around instead of serving me so had to wait for the other barmaid to come back to serve me then when she seen her serving me she started serving the other people at the bar She picks an chooses who she wants to serve an is very rude she is paid to work behind the bar an serve paying customers If this carry’s on I will take my custom elsewhere like most of my friends, I’ve already done

Always a pleasant experience, specially during cabaret lunch club. It was extremely busy but the staff coped very well even though short staffed. Food was good and choice excellent. .

Good food and service thanks Jodie for looking after us 😀

Good food, great customer service by Rebecca! Thank you for your help!

Great friendly bar staff especially 1 I recall being called jodie. So polite n very helpful. Deffo will be goin back again for sure.

Went for an impromptu lunch today cabaret on very busy ordered food excellent service by jodie had food not bad bit service is excellent

Went today for food me my mate & her Bf they ordered the mix Grill I ordered Fish chips with mushy peas we waited an hour for our food to have the Mix Grill turn up Burnt we sent both meals back for full refund the Fish was OK the tables & all windows & seats need a good clean as Dirty & Sticky we ordered pints of larger But to me seemed very watery & tasteless drank better the clog wasn't even busy so very disappointed with everything if we waited an hour for food to be burnt what is going in in kitchen is it can't cook or is it not keeping an eye on it ???? 🙃

Service and food was excellent the chef Alex cooked our steak to our specifications and Emma on the bar was lovely and polite and she asked us several times if everything was okay to which we answer that everything was good

Becca is such a nice person she need an Oscar for kindness / by mason 10 years old 😁

Visited today 23/7/24 On arrival was greeted as we entered the pub by Jodie, was advised to find a table and order at the bar when ready We did this and was served within a couple of minutes by jodie Food was lovely and fantastic service Will recommend and definitely be back

Amazing service from Becky and Jodie

Called in on a Sunday for a drink. Bec was friendly and served our drinks with a smile. Thanks again baccy

came for a birthday meal with family becky was great

Came in with my dads footy team and chewbecca behind the bar was very friendly and very kind she gave our drinks with a big smile

Lovely boozer and pub and a special mention to becs behind the bar. Always willing to help and serve.

Becks was brilliant and made me feel really welcome

Amazing service thanks again becs 10/10 as always

When we ordered drinks, girl working at bar was lovely, then we ordered food and it came quite quick and tasted good, the same girl as before (idk her name but it’s her birthday) brought my dad a drink and the card machine to save him moving during his meal, then i went up and ordered dessert (rocky road sunday) and it was very nice, it’ quite expensive especially for drinks (£5.25 for pint of san miguel) but it’s a good place, it’s quiet at this time aswell early afternoon

Food was great and staff were very friendly.

Just thought I would say how wonderful Chelsea and emma are. Excellent service with a very caring attitude.. Always helpful.

Brilliant time in the sparking clogg as always, staff very friendly. Young bar maid by the name of jodie, what a beautiful young vibrant lady she and a credit to the pub. She went above and beyond to satisfy my needs. 6 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ x

Served by Jodie and she was lovely

Served by Jodie top notch she was so so welcoming and amazing with everything we asked we will be returning again !!!!!!

Spent a couple of hours in the afternoon in the beer garden. Very quiet a few dog walkers calling for a drink and it got a bit busier when the schools finished.

Great service, lovely people, good atmosphere.

Orderd a burger chips meal and a hunters chicken with fries the hunters chicken including cheese and bacon was the size of 4chicken nuggets burger was fine though

Popped in the other day and was served by Becca. Lovely girl, really friendly and the service was great. Will be returning next time I fancy some lunch. Thank you Becca!

Held my nans 100th birthday party here last week and been back again today for some lunch. Everything was perfect. Jodie on the bar is brilliant and couldn't have done enough for us. Also Harry who was serving us is a cracking young lad up for a laugh and served us really well. Thank you so much.

The food was shocking not presentation not what was described in the menu not garnish or side dressing that was advertised on the menu. The mixed grill was absolutely disgusting steak over cooked sausage over cooked if you like bbq then yes for you otherwise not good start ets no garnish not dips had to ask for .. very very sad and not worth the money.. new chef needed ASAP..!!! On the other hand the staff are great think they just put up feel sorry for them!!! Thank Olivia for dealing with our food the service you gave the friendly understanding the professional manner you deal with all this upset .. we drink in here quite a lot so so disappointing food.

Food is easily the worst food I’ve had out. Not even cheap either. Really rubbish

i had a lovely experience with the server hannah she was nice and bubbly. food was great. i recommend the lasagne!

Just nipped in for a quick bite ,the spicy chicken wings were very very tasty 👍🏽

I was served on Saturday by a lovely, young lady named Hannah from her card. Very smiley and funny! Food was fab cooked by Tom and Alex, the fish and chips went perfectly with a glorious sunny day!

Lovely pub, Jodie and Bec served us our drinks and recommended new drinks we’ve not tried before 9/10 from us only issue was the women’s toilets were disgusting.

It was the football, so it was busy so there is some understanding. However we were seated in a booth with a TV which seemed great until we realised that the blinds were broken, in fact they were totally ripped out and therefore not only was the sun on the screen the entire time, it was also uncomfortably hot cramped into the tiny booth. As well as this the TV was filthy, the table was sticky, and the food was poor. The chicken kebab in particular was inedible. The chicken was clearly frozen sliced chicken and was absolutely anaemic, I wouldn’t have fed a stray cat with it. We did come quite often but I think I’ll leave it for at least the summer. I’m always willing to give a chance, but this experience was particularly poor and felt like a massive waste of money.

Very good service, nice atmosphere, food portions on the small side but was good quality.

Food was amazing. Thanks to thomas lowe for the lovely food.

The chef can whip up a serious pizza. The picture is me stuffed after the pizza.

Came in for lunch today it was very busy but the two brilliant girls behind the bar Jodie and Becca were absolutely fantastic. Even tho it was busy they couldn’t do enough for us and made our experience enjoyable. Amazing girls

Food was great, someone give Tom Lowe a blowie.

Such a good place food and service is amazing Jodie and Bec especially going above and beyond🙌🏼 10/10 would deffo recommend

I came for lunch with family and had the most amazing service from Jodie and Rebecca. They both went above and beyond for us and couldn't ask for anything more from them. Absolutely amazing from the girls!

Fantastic service from Jodie & bec, always make you feel welcome & make you enjoy your visit

Chelsea, Jodie and Bec had extremely wonderful service. They all were polite and provided excellent service

Went in for lunch today the food was great and the service even better. Two lovely young ladies behind the bar Jodie and Becca couldn’t have made us feel more welcome and it was nice to stand and have a chat and a laugh with them

As a frequent visitor I would like to say I find the service and value for money excellent with a great choice of food. Chelsea usually serves us in early evening and is always fantastic, friendly and engaging and remembers my order! I came in mid day today at the start of my hols and was served by both Becca and Jodie who were equally as friendly and efficient. Thank you girls! For a family friendly good value pub restaurant I highly recommend. X

Food from chef Tom was well cooked, presentation was great and tasted beautiful. The waitress angel was very welcoming, helpful and polite.

was served at the bar by becca and Jodie very polite and helpful
