The Garsdale Pub in Bury

Lovely place friendly staff and exalent food

Called in for a drink in the evening About t weeks ago. It was Dark. Parked in the car park close to the entrance. Had one drink and went home. Last Friday I came home from Hospital after 2 weeks following a Heart Attack. There was a letter waiting for parking at the Garsdale showing a very poor photo of my car numberplate. And a demand for £100! Is this a Giraffe? Roy Haworth.

Ok pub, want serving food that day

Our whole experience From start to finish was lovely . The greeting from the staff members was warm and welcoming The staff were all polite, friendly, and helpful. The food was 100% best best we've eaten in a long time ( we do eat out a lot ). The sharer nachos were so tasty and had lots of jalapeños 😁. My husband had a steak medium/rare, which was cooked perfectly with all the trimmings. I had the homemade cheese and onion pie with baked beans, which brought back really happy childhood memories. 😊 We both had chips, crispy on the outside and fluffy and lite in the middle and salad Definitely recommend the food.

The Sunday lunch is amazing. We all had different. Lamb was lush, beef and chicken fantastic, plenty of fresh vegetables and the mash and roasties great. Lashings of gravy. We could not fault. We will be back. Thank you

Very very disappointed. Hardly anything on menu available. Kids menu only fish fingers !! Ordered 2 x lamb and mint muffins served with salad and crisps. So ordered extra cheesy chips and chips and gravy Only to be told half hour after ordering no lamb and no beef but the lamb burgers are good Didn’t really want but they said good. Mega greasy came with chips so no need for extra Feel totally ripped off and I am local not a visitor

The best steak I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot of steaks, chef is amazing, bar staff is amazing, massive well done to you all can’t wait to return shame I couldn’t leave a six stars

Nice friendly pub, relaxing atmosphere, and dog friendly, stayed overnight in our motorhome, probably best to book ahead as I wasn't the only one. Nice working farm and ice cream shop close by.

Great beer garden with shelter and screens. Good food, service and price.

The welcome from staff lukewarm at its best, large beer garden, large restaurant but hardly anyone eating, go figure. Food portions good but Gammon just a slab of fat, and steak well done (not rare as requested). Will choose somewhere else to eat.

Staff were exceptional, attentive, polite, friendly and above all genuine, totally professional service, the food, starter & main were perfect, fresh and bursting with flavour, the two guys who looked after us went the extra mile, absolutely loved the experience, will without doubt be back at the first opportunity.

Great outside space and service food was a disappointment 😞

Went here for Sunday roast dinner with the family. Have to say it was excellent, good food and friendly and helpful staff. We booked for Sunday lunch and they put us in the conservatory out the back and it was fantastic. We will certainly be returning over and over

We came for supper. Three of the items we ordered were off the menu and of the 6 dishes we ordered two were wrong when they arrived.The food was ok though but there was a bad smell around the bar like it had been wiped with stale smelling cloths. The waitress was pleasant but the rest of the experience was less so. I don’t think we would return.

Have called at The Garsdale every week for the last thirty years so it can't be too bad

We visited this pub due to staying on the Burrs campsite. Found similar to another customer- that locals were favoured service at the bar. Generally quite odd communication from staff. Food very bland and outdoor tables dirty. Was led to believe from the website it had a children's play area, but outdoors is geared up for drinking only. At least there's a nice view of the cows. Needs improvement quite in a few areas! Sadly we won't recommend to other campers or return.

What a great place. We ate here on 25th April. I had the Cheese and Onion Pie and my husband had the Whacking Pork Chop. Both were cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. Also, excellent house wine and good real ale (Oakham Citra when we visited was just one of three). Both meal and drinks were reasonably priced. Excellent service. Well done guys. Hope to be back soon.

Great food, at good prices and dog friendly. The photos were taken when we had eaten half our steaks

Food was absolutely stunning staff really friendly nothing was to much trouble . Atmosphere was lovely defo be going back 😃

Just had a lovely lamb roast dinner , food was delicious, service was great, and a great lad on the bar (Chris) was brilliant, it was busy due to Man U playing and he was great 😀😀

Staff were nice enough. Food is bang average though. Better food elsewhere for the price

Great local pub. Great selection of pub food and drinks. Inside and out spacious. Area for the kids to play and to watch the football or steam trains go by. Dog friendly too.

Nice pub.l within walking distance of Bury town centre of £5-6.00 in taxi. Stayed overnight as a motor home stop over. Friendly staff good range of drinks and nice food. Went late afternoon so a little quiet. Would definitely go again.

Nice looking place but there it stops the food was tasteless my companions meal came covered in gravy I ask mine for the gravy to be separate on tasting the food I understood why the food was tasteless i will not be visiting again very disappointed. The restaurant was cold a couple of the people in my group ended up having to eat with there coats on

Ordered roast dinner for 7 of us, my chicken was smellingand tastedweird, yorkshire puds were stale and potatoes weren't cooked long enough, The cauliflower cheese was very runny. The server did their best but it took so long from 2pm to 2.40pm waiting and service was just slow, only our table and table of two. I didn't get charged for my food, but unfortunately I don't think I'd ever be back.

We had a lovely meal which was well presented looked good, tasted really good & very enjoyable all with live music on the night making a good atmosphere.

Lovely pub, customer service is amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be visiting again.

This has become my go to place for a Sunday roast. The food is plentiful and they have a range of meats on offer. If you don’t fancy roast the steak is to die for, perfectly cooked with a more than ample side of chips and salad or the lamb wellington. The team at the Garsdale are wonderful and have completely turned the place around since they took over. Shauna who works on the bar is fantastic. It’s great to see this place thriving, the conservatory restaurant is a lovely place to eat but there is also plenty of seating in the bar too and football on in the main bar. I look forward to Sundays at the Garsdale! Well done guys! Can’t recommend enough

Stayed at Burrs Park caravan site, and have been to this pub on previous visits and enjoyed the experience. Really poor service from the bar staff, Waited at the bar, watched locals being served before us, no acknowledgement /eye contact from the bar staff, eventually walked out without being served. There was a child at the bar screaming at the barman. Will never return and definitely don't recommend.

First visit and received a very warm welcome from the staff and the pubs dog. A well kept pint of Vocation Heart and Soul topped off the visit. We didn’t eat here on this occasion but will be back as the menu looks very tempting

The dullest pub I have ever been in. Prices extortionate 30 pounds for 2 beers and 2 wines. No atmosphere whatsoever

Table booked for 6.30, orders taken, starters arrived at 7.45, 8.20 still waiting for mains, 4 out of 7 item on main menu not available, people next to us waited 1 hour 15 mins for starters, other people complaining about delay, was offered a free Sunday lunch but not of use as we don’t live nearby, don’t think we’ll be coming back for food, very disappointed!

Fantastic food and atmosphere 👌

We had the 'Posh FishFinger Sandwiches' and they were outstanding! Service was quick, food served hot and fresh!

Great food, great service. None of the dishes on the menu online were available, but this may be due to new people running it. Had garlic chicken burgers with chips and salad which had a nice grain mustard dressing.

Bostin little pub with a warm greeting, a nice variety of beers And the grub is banging as well 👍. horse shoe gammon 👍👍

Just popped in for a quick pint. Lots of people inside enjoying food and drinks.

Went for Sunday Lunch which was lovely .. A bit pricey but very nice .

Nice country pub, good food, though not cheap! Near to Burrs Country Park, and still not far from Bury town center. On each occasion I've been with Bruno, it has been very quiet, but that suits me! Still appears short of punters in daytime, can't speak to evening or weekend, £4.95 for a Guinness, so you judge!😎

Lucky enough to be here on reopening night under new ownership. Visited with my family and we were delighted to see the steam train passing behind the field and enjoyed the beautiful cows in that field which adjoins the pub. Staff were very friendly and the food really was exceptional. My husband had the lamb Wellington and I had the fish and both were excellent. The children’s meals were a good size filling up my 9 year old boy, which is no mean feat! We will certainly return and highly recommend to families and people who like a good quality meal.

Very nice pub recently taken over by new landlord. Not doing food yet but it is planned to start in October. Comfortable indoors. Outdoor area OK. Only one hand pumped beer but hopefully that will increase as business picks up. Staff friendly and responsive.

Closed when we got there. Google said it should be open on Saturday morning. Looked rundown.

We are staying at the campsite up the road and wanted to find somewhere for a nice Sunday roast. We were not disappointed, the roasts here are fantastic and reasonably priced! Lovely view from the garden and dog friendly.

Burgers & pennines only.. shocking meal. Place looks totally run down. Sunday lunch and 4 people in, says it all.

Food was lovely, staff were friendly and polite, fantastic beer garden

Brilliant staff lovely pub and food

Could be a super pub and restaurant but food let's it down shame really like the place

Staff friendly food great vary welcoming amazing day when the ww2 military vehicles turned up

Great pub, lovely atmosphere, friendly.

Nice food and atmosphere kids enjoyed the play area

Lovely meal. We only just managed to get served as they stop serving at 7 pm . We were staying at the caravan site. Meals served from 12 to 7. They had run out of pie but that was ok as the Garsdale burger was excellent and as I say it was coming up to the end of service. The young man who served us was friendly and service was quick. Would highly recommend a visit here especially if you are staying at the caravan site.

Lovely food and fantastic staff, will definitely be returning, thank you so much! X

Lovely afternoon out. Staff super friendly

Went in new year's day 11 of us after a walk had a brew and hot chocolate for the kids the barman was extremely miserable.

Couldn't book anywhere. Found this place after long drive. They took all 9 of us. Only one chef on but did a great job. Food was great. Boxing Day too.

Friendly staff,good beer and amazing beer garden

Went for Christmas Day Lunch, food was great but they had run out of red wine.

Lovely local pub. In a very quiet area. Great for a family meal or a drink with friends. Highly recommend

It is mostly a pub for watching football each time we have been there it has been busy and noisy with supporters there is a dining room at the back but it is always busy so we have always had to eat in the bar/tv room. The food was good.

Visited on Saturday…food was lovely and the staff very friendly, will be going again to try the rag pudding!

Absolutely the best roast I've ever had ! (We had the lamb). Meat fell off the bone, crispy roasties, perfect veg & gravy !

Food came out cold my wife found a long black hair baked into the fish pie she ordered .and the kids climbing frame is a death trap

The kids loved the playground. I don't think I'd return for food as it was very greasy and tasted of old oil and the salad we got with our fish cake starter was on it's last legs. I'd return for a few drinks and to let the kids play though.

The interior of the pub has changed since our last visit. It has lost its cosy feel as you enter, in my opinion. We sat in the rear beer garden which is large and well maintained. There is a dining area and we had a couple of meals there. The fish pie was tasty and the steak and ale pie was nice.

Great beer garden. Nice food. Friendly staff. Dog friendly.

Very nice setting, good food and big portions too...

I never leave reviews but was really impressed with the homecooked food here!

Staying at the Caravan Club Site 5 minutes walk away, so thought we would give this place a go. We sat in the restaurant section at the rear of the building, but could have sat in the Bar or outside. I had the Rag Pudding (Google it) with chips, mushy peas and a pot of gravy, whilst 'the boss' had Steak and Ale pie, which came with chips, mixed veg and a pot of gravy. Both meals were substantial, filling and excellent value for money at £9.95 each. Would heartily recommend!

Called in for a late lunch had a very enjoyable chicken salad in the beer garden

Had a birthday meal. The staff were really polite and helpful. The food was quality and tasted amazing. Parking available and great outdoor space. Definitely coming back here! Loved it!

Very impressed great service and staff brill meal and got a tall tube of beer to take with me will be back again

We visit Burrs Country Park Caravan Club site regularly and this time decided to give the Garsdale a try for both food and drink. We found the staff very friendly, the surroundings very pleasant and the food and drink exceptional. The menu was especially appealling to us, not too fancy, but beautifully prepared and presented food with fresh hand cut chips - a rare find these days. Highly recommended by us.

Lovely food and great outdoor space.

Good food only issue was that they were short staffed which caused a bit of a wait to get served

Brilliant family friendly pub. Great food.

Really enjoyed our meals today ,nice to have home made food that actually is , friendly staff and of course doggies allowed 👍

Great pub for televised sports, recommend braised lamb dinner, plenty of outside area for kids to play, good atmosphere worth a visit.

Great family friendly pub, 4 legged family welcome too i.e dogs.

Nice pub but was sat eating food and someone came in offered to pull the bar staff over the bar and I was in a few weeks months back and was watching the owners off there heads wasn’t a lovely sight for my children won’t be coming back

Nice clean friendly place ,would call again...

Loved it here food and service was amazing kids loved playing on the park the manager Joanne was very helpful and couldn't do enough for me will definitely be back again.

Very nice inside, drinks are not cheap

Went here on a Sunday. Asked for the normal menu (which was given to us by a waitress) only to get told when ordering that they only serve Sunday lunch. Most places do both. Maybe they should inform their staff what they serve. Went elsewhere.

Friday afternoon drinks 🍸 at the Garsdale , well recommended. We were staying at the burrs campsite so only 5 minutes away, warm and welcoming pub with friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Good selection of beers 🍻 and what we saw 👀 of the food on offer looked very good, we will be back to try next time. Plenty of space in the bar area and double the space in the outdoor area. Enjoyed 😉 our afternoon thanks to all the staff 😊.

Changed ownership multiple times and has been very much up n down. Down most recently.

Awful. Food took 1.20mins to come. No explanation as to why, the pub was dead!! Poor staff (who were all young kids) looked like they trying. Absolutely no management whatsoever. When we did try to complain, we were made to feel uncomfortable and were dismissed. Will not be returning.

Always a nice place to spend a Sunday afternoon, if you're a dog lover it's brilliant, big garden for them and the kids. Can't fault it.

Lovely views from the beer garden. There was a very well attended christening party going on when we were there. So very busy

Lovely down to earth pub, nicd food

Great food good staff nice pub local pub really nice new beer garden

Awful place, my meal wasn’t cooked properly, got a glass of water for my daughter and the glass was filthy, I took it back, they give me another glass that was even dirtier, literal brown bits round the glass, then in the toilet there was blood all over the toilet roll, the staff ( apart from the blond lady” was misrible and didn’t even look at me when I was ordering, I don’t make habits of complaining , but this place was rotten

Quite a nice looking pub probably excellent but there was a very strong smell of drains I assume made it impossible to stay inside

Had my 21st here last night and wasn’t impressed, originally booked the station for a private function (that’s been booked for months) and got squeezed into a corner of the pub. We were reassured that people will leave by 8/9 which definitely wasn’t the case. Before we were moved inside, the station was a mess and definitely not ready to host a function, with glasses on the tables still, food and rubbish on the floor despite being told it was set up ready for us. They were aware of us having a buffet, and provided us with a pop up table which turned out to be broken already. The overall disorganisation of the staff and pub in general is appalling and wouldn’t recommend trying to have a function here. We basically paid for the whole pub to listen to the music, with punters even coming round and asking for songs/karaoke! Wouldn’t recommend coming here unless you enjoy being stressed and nothing go to plan.

Poor experience at a party I attended recently. The area that was booked, The Station, was still full of glasses and had food all over the floor from a previous party, and the promised buffet table was nowhere to be found. Once the staff had been informed of the DJ (which was included in the original booking!), we were then all shifted inside on a busy Saturday evening, forcing other patrons out and with only half an hour until guests started to arrive to decorate and let the DJ get set up. On the whole, very unprofessional and poor communication from the staff. This left a sour taste on what otherwise supposed to be a great night. Wouldn’t recommend at all for an event unless you like being stressed out!

Sunday dinner very nice all fresh vegetables good and dog friendly staff and manger are very helpful and welcoming .

Busy pub very noisy friendly staff

Nice food, were quick to serve even just before kitchen closed.

Stayed at Burrs Country Park for a long weekend. 5 couples 60 -70 Called in for a drink on Friday evening and were made very welcome . Decided to go on the Saturday to watch the football and eat. The food was amazing . All home cooked and fresh . Very reasonably priced . Excellent value for money and a great atmosphere Thank you

Called late afternoon and were made so welcome. Fabulous meal, the black black pudding and spiced tomato soup to start were beautifully seasoned, well presented and hot. We chose sirloin steaks for our mains. - cooked perfectly with a very generous portion of chops and sides. Faultless and dog friendly too. We will be back.
