Arrived on a Sunday. Restaurant area quiet enough and managed to get a table no problem. Sundays are carvery only with options being S, M or Large. Choices of the usual meats or some of all three. No vegetarian meat alternatives but possible to have the full Sunday dinner minus the meat. Vegetarian gravy was made upon request. Food was poor. The mash was tasty, but it hadn't been mashed, quite a large number of potatoe chunks. The vegetables were extremely overdone to the point the brocoli was a washed-out light green colour, almost grey. Brocoli takes around 4 minutes to cook, so I am unsure why this wouldn't be cooked on order. Carrots and cabbage very overcooked and watery. Meats were tasty but quite dry. Yorkshire pudding nice but cooked from frozen and same with the roast potatoes, but I could be mistaken here. Gravy was nice. £10 for a medium sized carvery is a good price but not reflected in the cooking standards. TL;DR - Good service, nice decor and atmosphere. Food way below average. I'd much rather support local business than the usual Carvery chains but this place really must up their game to compete for return business.

Advertised as a 'carvery' we expected to help ourselves, but no you have what you are given. The portions are adequate with a choice of meats but no turkey which is my favourite. The service was a bit slow, but not too bad. There were 6 of us in the party but only 4 knives and forks in a dish on the table and no serviettes. We had to ask for more cutlery. Not a place I would visit again or recommend..

£18.95 for a mixed grill that comes with a chip shop sausage? Nope. The steak was overdone and the chicken dry. The only really good thing about the mixed grill was the chips. However, the vegetarian lasagne was very nice and loaded with garlic bread.

I went with my son, his partner and my daughter for my brother-in-law's funeral post-funeral event/wake We had travelled up from Birmingham and my daughter and I are both vegan, my son is vegetarian. Despite having notice, they said the only vegan food they could provide was bread and salad. Welcome to the twenty first century, Bucks Head. Ever heard of supermarkets? Not difficult to get vegan margarine, cheese, crisps etc. Hobnobs are vegan, for future reference, although I wouldn't recommend any vegans visit this place.

A lovely warm welcome as we arrived. The place was well managed for the current situation and felt comfortable and safe. We were served quickly and I had messaged in advance to see if they could cater for my dietary requirements, as I'm unable to eat gluten or dairy. The manager spoke to me at my table to advise what was suitable for me. Beautiful food, freshly cooked and well presented. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Food served Wednesday to Sunday, and I will definitely be back. Also easy access for wheelchairs etc.

I recently visited The Bucks Head in Abram and had a great experience. The food was lovely, and I especially enjoyed the steak pie. The seating area was quiet during my visit on a Friday tea time, which created a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. Overall, I had a great time at The Bucks Head, and I am looking forward to returning in the future.

I had to leave this review im so disappointed. It used to be best in Lancashire. Now it's no longer value for money very poor in fact. Ordered large and medium carvery got 2 extra potatoes and 1 extra Yorkshire pudding. Asked what I wanted on plate large so I said plenty mash and carrots and turnips please. Yet got a square plate delivered with same portion as medium. What a rip off. Total with 2 pints was £30.30 I would have paid £40.00 if they hadn't have tried cut portion sizes to make up for lost profits in covid. No wonder you can't recover. In these bad times. Carrots are hardly gonna break the bank are they. Oh and roast potatoes rock hard and too big. They used be delious don't in chip pan mmmm not any more avoid like the plague.

Last minute decision to go for a carvery at the Bucks Head. Didn't book, arrived at 1pm and we were easily seated at a table for two. Ordered 2 medium carveries with beef and pork. Plenty on the plates, just right for us, we cleared our plates not a morsel left. Finished with Apple crumble and custard. We thought the meal was excellent value.

Disappointed. Expected to have a decent meal after reading the reviews. We arrived to be informed only serving carvery, which was served for us, and only had a choice of pork and or gammon. Plate was swimming in gravy and the food was a mix of hot and cold, and pretty certain the gammon wasn't cooked through. Needless to say we picked at our food and left 20 minutes later. Won't be going back.

Last visit had small Carvery £6 (well can’t really call It carvery as don’t help yourself) but today choose medium carvery £9 but only plate larger although plate had two inch edge so centre of plate small. You hardly get any extra food on this one as Yorkshire lies flat on plate taking up load of room maybe got two tiny extra roast potatoes and a bit of extra meat, so disappointed on medium size. Better getting small as they pile food up and put Yorkshire on top paying extra £3 on meal for nothing.
