The Barclay Pizza & Prosecco in Rochdale

Recently went to a 30th, all party members catered for then we had the room until close! Friendly staff, a great atmosphere and areas where you can dance!

Amazing pizza and atmosphere in this place and a great place to go with friends. Just moved to Royton and had a night at the Barclay we had great pizza and the staff were very friendly. Waited about 20/30 mins for pizza but they were busy so we didn’t mind, had a couple of drinks before the pizza was served and Wow! We had a mixture and they all tasted great! Credit to the young staff in the kitchen 10/10 form us.

Really nice pizza, excellent quick service at the bar even though it was packed. My only complaint is how many under 18 year olds that were in there. The bouncers on the doors were checking for ID but when I got in I saw 5 of my son’s friends in there…. 15 year old lads and girls. I asked them how they got in. They had really crappy fake IDs. They then pointed out at least 5 other 15/16 year olds who were in there. I sent them on their way but they told me they frequently visit.

We normally love this place, but on this occasion we waited about an hour maybe longer for a pizza, which when it arrived was extremely greasy. We hadn’t even finished eating and they are taking the plate away, with food still on it!! I was in that much shock for the cheek of it being taken I couldn’t even speak to say it wasn’t finished with.

We had a night out here on Sunday 27 august and ha a great night Great music brilliant atmosphere and friendly staff We would like to give one member of staff a particularly mention ( Lucy Hall ) for her fantastic service despite having her Knee in a brace her service and attention to customers was fantastic We had our freshly bought drink’s knocked over by some guys and Lucy handled the situation very professionally swiftly cleaning up ensuring my wife was ok and replaced the drink with no hesitation to ensure we continued to have a great night Lucy is a credit to your team Keep up the great work guys Regards Mark and Deanna

Went to a 30th Birthday celebration last night, awesome time, great atmosphere with live music. We were upstairs in the private area & had the pleasure of being served by Ellie who was great! Ellie even invented the “ultraviolet sambuca” …. Next Level! Give Barclays a go if you’re ever in Royton!

Popped in on Wednesday evening with a few friends for pizza, the atmosphere was great very busy but all the staff were fully welcoming & nothing too much trouble - even when I didn’t finish my pizza Cameron in the kitchen boxed it up for me, special thanks to Cameron Andrea’s Becky & pebbles - great work team xx

Had an amazing night at The Barclay on Saturday! Service from the staff couldn't have been any better but would just like to mention Lucy, Betsy and Rhys for going above and beyond. My pizza was tasty too!

Wouldn’t really recommend. Bar staff pleasant enough but very young and inexperienced. Cocktails were ok but weren’t the best for the price. Manager was like a bull dog chewing a wasp. Not the best experience. We also experienced finding a fruit fly 🪰 in the pink gin and when we asked to swap the drink we were charged ! All in all the place could be lovely but some changes need to be made. They also charge Manchester prices but seem to forget it’s on the corner in Royton, a smile wouldn’t go a miss either!

Amazing venue which has something for everyone. If you want a busy atmosphere then go on Saturday night but if you want something more relaxed go Friday early evening or Sunday afternoon, they have some great live singers on their mezzanine above the bar. The Pizza’s are the best around made from a Wood fired oven and have a great offer of 241 on Wednesday & Thursdays which we’ve enjoyed a few times in the past. The staff are very friendly and always provide good service. I would definitely recommend the Barclay.

The place was packed with music on full blast look like a high school party you see on a film please can you do this it is the worst place to go on a Saturday night and pay good money that you work hard for on a waste and you don’t even get a seat it’s that busy,

We met here for a school reunion. Great atmosphere. Cocktails were great. Good choice of beers. Good place to start an evening out.

If this had been a year ago I would have given full stars but on a last couple of visits, to The Barclay Pizza & Prosecco. I have found provisional and polite but unexperienced bar staff. That took 20 minutes to make a drink. That was good but not the best. Atmosphere was OK but could have been better. Wasn't helped by a rude bouncer that keep on moving every one into the centre of the room for some reason. It was a crowded night, there was no place for people to go. So it was a endless night of getting moved about trying to find somewhere to stand. We also experienced people reserving the limited amount of seats. For friends that never showed. Spent the night standing as one girl refused to take her small hand bag off the seat next to her. I have been here a few times in the past and has been a lot better at night. Food was very good and during the day the overall atmosphere as been very good.

The atmosphere is amazing. Staff are wonderful. Welcomes families during the day and fabulous to have a good night out with the girls during the night!

Love it at the Barclay , best Pizzas around and great value, friendly staff and lovely ambiance The Barclay would fit in in any city centre so Royton is lucky to have this venue.

I just needed to put it out there that the Barclay pizza and Prosecco is the best I’ve EVER had. The cheese and wine that was made for us was spectacular and also the pizza was amazing. I have nothing to fault with this place. Outstanding.

The best wine and cheese experience !! Thank you so much to the fantastic staff for looking after us especially during these strange times. Our table was made to feel safe and relaxed and the cheese and wine experience was fab !! Can’t recommend this place enough

we visited the Barclay last year for cheese and wine and couldn't have spoken highly enough. We had 3 different cheeses with 3 different wines that goes with the cheese all 3 wines was served at 125ml also the cheese was accompanied by olives, crackers, chutney and side salad, since this day i have raved so much about the night and recommended to all my friends, we finally go to return this bank holiday Sunday (30th May 21) I am appalled at the poor service , we first was sat down at our table by a woman who did not wear a face mask at all and was serving people all night. we then had our drinks served to us by a young girl who thought it was acceptable to carry our drinks with her fingers in the top of the glass. The wine as been dramatically reduced to 50mls a glass and the cheese reduced to just 2 cubes per cheese, When i questioned the drastic reduction to the lady without her mask i was told that other people had also questioned this and that they found that it was far too cheap for what we got last time therefore they had decided to reduce the products and after all it is only wine tasting, I am aware that COVID has had a financial impact on businesses but if you are going to change the quantity then customers should be made aware of this. there was 5 of us in my party and the total amount we paid was £75 for 1 bottle of wine and 1 small block of cheese with a handful of salad and a McDonald s kids bag of fruit between 5 of us. I will not be returning to the Barclay which is such a shame because a place that once had it right have now got it so wrong

Had a great time out with my family here. Hubby and children really enjoyed it. Fairly reasonable prices. Good value for money

Me and my husband visited on the 12/08/20 and we spent about £60 on just drinks and £19 on pizzas as we have a few pizza and they place was packed with all this help out to eat out and we was greeted at the door and was taking to our table by a lovely lady and when we got seated we was told that someone one would come to us to take our drink order and if we was eating we needed to go to the kitchen to order our food and when my husband went up to the till he was told that it would be between about an hour To an hour an half wait for food(7pm), we couldn’t complain as my husband said he could see that they had tickets overlapping each other on the all rall and we got our food within 45 minutes of waiting and it was fresh and lovely we have the garlic bread with cheese and a normal garlic bread and the garlic butter they use is 100% the best I have ever tasted and the goats cheese was so nice and you could taste all the ingredients on its and meet feast special my husband had he said that it was one of the best pizzas he has ever had, We will 100% be going back again as all the staff was lovely and made us feel really welcome!

Booked a table for 6 and wasn’t greeted at the door, there were no signs to tell you where to wait or where to sit. We walked to the food till and then to the bar, to then be asked if we had booked a table. We waited over 20 minutes for drinks and an hour for food, there were 5+ bar staff just stood around waiting. The food came with the extra items we ordered missing, the chicken was then made in a separate pot and mushrooms added to the other pizza and recooked, as the crust had burnt and mushrooms were raw (good job i like raw mushrooms). No knives and forks or napkins were given and we had to get our own. The customers behind us, bearing in mind it was only 6:30 and food is served till a lot later, were told they couldn’t order after buying drinks as they had ran out of dough (the only food item that they sell). The pizza was average and the wine was really nice. The garlic bread with cheese was probably the best I had ever tasted which is why my review wasn’t 1 star. Got the food with the governments 50% off deal and was still only just about worth it due to the poor service. Probably wouldn’t go back other than just for a drink.

I have had many pizzas in my life. Quite a few in Italy. Me and my husband had a couple of pizzas here one Friday evening recently and they were absolutely divine. Probably the best I have ever had.

First time in the bar for a private event upstairs early evening. The staff were friendly and the pizzas are lovely, but it isn't a restuarant. It is really a nice bar, where you can chill out with friends and if you want food order it. I would go back with the intention it's somewhere to drink and if hungry order while there. Good selection of drinks.

Called a few days prior to Sat 17th Aug and asked to book a table - was told that they didn’t ‘see themselves as a restaurant’ so we couldn’t book a table, was told to just turn up and grab somewhere to sit at around 7pm. So we turn up on the Saturday and everywhere is heaving, no chance of getting anywhere to sit any time soon. We ask to sit upstairs - but are told there is a private function. We look in a different part and see tables that have reserved signs. So unless the table fairies have come and placed these signs down, how the hell are you supposed to reserve a table and book a private function in a place that, supposedly, doesn’t take bookings? Either someone doesn’t comprehend a basic request to reserve a table or we were lied to. Saw some of the food and it looked lovely, just incredibly disappointed by the horrendous service received.

Rang to make an appointment was told no need as it was casual dining no problems there, upon arrival introduced myself and told the bar staff we where there for food no problem she said find a table and come to the bar when your ready to order. Spent £30 on drinks sat down and perused the menu. 20 minutes later went to the bar to place our order only to be told the chefs weren’t taking orders for 40 minutes as there was a function on upstairs. I asked why this wasn’t explained to me upon arrival as I could have made alternate arrangements. No real explanation was offered the manager did offer to see if anything could be done she went to see the chefs but alas no compromise was forthcoming. Did manage to get an booking elsewhere for 20 mins time so we sat and finished our drinks. Entertainment was provided by the chefs in the open kitchen who although to busy cook food had plenty of time to chase each other with pot towels taking great pleasure in slapping each other no sign of preparing food evident. All the staff seemed very young and there was no sign of leadership or control. Very disappointed in my first visit not sure I’d give them another go.

Great Setting! Would suggest if going for food go earlier in the day as it gets very busy with evening drinkers after 6pm. We tried spiciest pizza on the menu it wss delicious. Chef and Team are so polite!

went with a few colleagues for a tea time tipple, its a beautiful, well presented place, very friendly and helpful staff, we all ordered food and the service was very very slow even though there was only our table ordering food, the pizzas were good, but those that had the platters were very disappointed ,they were 3 for £10 and very small portions, would definitely go again but woulnt bother with food

Met a friend for lunch, the food was made fresh in front of us. Fast and fresh and lovely staff. would defiantly recommend.

Really nice atmosphere, friendly and professional staff. Pizza was delicious, we even thought about ordering another to takeaway. Thumbs up from us.

We booked the small annex for a party for wife’s birthday as there was only a group of 18 of us. Ordered a mixture of food including the cold platters (really good value) as well as a variety of pizzas and garlic breads all were excellent. The staff from the chef to the shift manager (Kyler) did everything they could to ensure we all had a good nights.Have been in for drinks on many occasions and always enjoy the laid back atmosphere with the singers at weekends.

Smart trendy place. Went midweek so a little quiet but enjoyed the surroundings and staff friendly and welcoming.

Relaxed Sunday afternoon here with friends and children. It’s lovely to go to such a trendy, fun bar and be welcome with young children. Prosecco and pizza were amazing as always! Royton is just getting better all the time.

I went with my other half, early one Friday evening , (around 6pm) we had pizza and drinks on the upper balcony area. There was live music playing which gave it a lovely atmosphere. I had a Gluten Free pizza with goats cheese it was excellent, however I do not think the GF pizzas have a separate oven /prep area, so if you’re extremely sensitive to Gluten then cross contamination it could be a problem. I’m not too keen on the seating area near the kitchen, it feels a bit like a “canteen” but the bar and upper balcony are fabulous! Well worth a visit.

Pizza 10/10 better then spending on dominos. , live music, good atmosphere. Excellent venue !! Would recommend to anyone . Larvly.

I would probably give this a 3 and a half if there was an option. We went in on a Thursday for dinner. The staff were lovely and the bar area is very attractive. We sat in the back where the food order counter is and that's maybe not as nice. They have a sort of display fridge with writing on it and it makes the space look cheap and not very nice. The pizza itself was good but not spectacular. Could do with offering extra toppings i.e. chillies etc. Overall, worth a visit.

It is sad to see the demise of local bank branches but great to witness their reincarnations (and popularity) as places in which to spend rather than to save. The Barclay is the best one I have seen to date. The sharing board of starters was delicious and I have not eaten a more perfect pizza outside Italy. Looking forward to a revisit very soon.

Nice to have have this gem on the doorstep, great pizza good range of beers and wines, cocktails. Had a calzone tonight partner had goats cheese pizza. Friendly staff, outstanding

Good range of beers. Excellent pizzas prepared and cooked in view so you can see what you're getting. Good for couples and families. Friendly and efficient staff

what a lovely place this is, all friendly staff, not to expensive on the pocket at the bar or on the food, go on give it a try

Lovely chilled out afternoon, great Prosecco, pizza and live music. Unfortunately the odd child running around ruined the atmosphere. Shame there’s paint peeling off the walls and the ladies toilets look like the place has been open for years not weeks.

Went in this afternoon to meet my granddaughter for tea/coffee and chat. I was very pleasantly surprised, The ambience was great, such pleasant surroundings. Ideal place for Prosecco and other drinks,great venue open until midnight.

An old bank now revived as a bar and pizza restaurant. Drinks very reasonable prices. Prosecco was beautifully served, ice bucket and strawberries. Pizzas gorgeous. Lots of topping, crispy thin base. Garlic bread was also fantastic. Very busy, can be hard to get a seat on a Saturday night. Well worth a visit.

Another new addition to Royton centre, serving Prosseco and a good selection of beers, fresh oven pizza to order, great new venue.
