The Lock Keeper in Bury - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Took my elderly relative here today. The place was nice and clean with comfortable chairs and nice decor. Easy to order food and drinks at the bar. Food good and well priced. Staff nice and friendly. Overall enjoyed our visit and will definitely return.

Lovely place, food was great and good customer service

Good food, prompt service, easy to order via app

As a Kurdish guy .that was my first time to be in this place and I’ve had nice ever lasagna

Went in with two disabled children, I’m gluten free , the guy serving me was so asked him advice

We had a fantastic day at this venue. The children were entertained at fuzzy eds, drinks were well priced and the food was absolutely perfect. The staff were very sociable and the manager could be seen greeting customers with a smile. I would like to add that the venue is well decorated and has a warm and inviting appeal.

Great appearance. We are from Ashton under lyne. We needed a spot of brunch inbetween work appointments. We ordered 2 breakfasts which came just warm. We informed Khia the waitress. Not only did she attend to it she ensured we were fully satisfied. Khia went beyond what most would do. Service with a smile and sent us away happy. This young lady is an asset to your restaurant and would ask management to take note. I will come again with my family on this experience. Khia... Thank you x

This place is really nice and Had nice ambience. Had a little mishap this morning with breakfasts.. they were just warm.. but our waitress Khia was right on it... She sorted it with a smile and gave us extra toast for good measure and we came away totally satisfied. Thanks Khia..you smashed it ....we needed that kind of service. Btw... Coffee nice too 😊 👍 Management... This young lady is a great ambassador for your company

We went on a Wednesday which was little quiet but the place was clean, staff were friendly and helpful, great choices on the menu for adults and children, reasonable in prices. Will deffo be returning

Good pub grub, short of staff but very pleasant. Look as though recently refurbished, quite nice.

Most possibly the worst food I've ever purchased. Get a new chef !

Ordered chicken tikka masala, rice was rock hard and just about warm. Hunters chicken no better, way overcooked, new chef needed.

Ordered 2 x chicken curry n rice.Had to send the currys back as they were tepid and not hot Had deserts which were good. Place was not full

The food was awful. I could not even eat my starter. Do better☺️ i do not know how anyone enjoys their food. I think someone needs sacking and someone with higher standers needs to take over. The tables are sticky. And it absolutely stinks . Never again will I be returning unless it changes.

We love visiting the Lock keeper as we've always had brilliant service. Firstly the rooms are very clean and inviting with tables cleaned when someone leaves. The staff are very friendly and helpful and make you feel welcome. The food is of excellent quality and always arrives freshly cooked and is great value for money. They have set a standard that's hard to beat.

Very cosy and pleasant atmosphere, staff are always polite and welcoming. Good food and drink 😊 10/10 would recommend!!

Came here for the football the other day. Wasnt busy with the football but we managed to get a seat and have some excellent picky food. wings goujons, chick slices and garlic bread all very tasty and served excellently. Will definitely be going again when we have our children with us to make use of the play centre on site

I had the chopped salad bowl and the atmosphere was as very cosy and pleasant, the staff were polite and welcoming. Good food and drink 😊 10/10 would recommend!!

Quite good getting seating was bit problematic due to being busy but they sorted this found items on menu not listed on order at table app but still worth a visit

Genuinely awful. Couldn’t get served as the staff were chatting. Kids running feral. The food was barely warm and greasy. My Hunter’s chicken was topped with a slice of that burger cheese that comes wrapped in plastic. I actually laughed! Peas soggy and over cooked. The gammon was decent! We used to love it here but haven’t been for a year or so. The menu’s changed (for the worse) and they must have a new team in the kitchen. I am disappointed but more amused at just how bad it was. They were fine with us having a cake for my son’s birthday so that was nice of them! I hope it improves as it’s such a good location. We won’t be back sadly. Decent prices admittedly but I’d prefer to pay more for decent food.

Freshly refurbished and looking great! All food was fresh, hot and tasty and came pretty quickly with all orders correct. Massive improvement since we came a few years back. Staff are lovely and friendly too. The manager Andy was walking around, speaking with people and getting stuck in and it was lovely to see! Keep up the good work guys!

We booked on the website but upon arrival staff did not seem aware till I mentioned the booking ,so found a table we liked in area we liked . The service was good and friendly and the food was lovely. The place has had a refurb and looks and feels good and is very clean and tidy . All we can say is that if someone books a table there should be one designated for them when they arrive.Having said that ,we enjoyed our visit and will return soon .

We haven't been for a long time and we won't be going again ! Had to wait 40 mins plus and the food was cold !! Plus if you're giving kids food for a pound a plate what do you expect other than food thrown everywhere with scruffy people straight from work unwashed , snd in their work gear!! Plus tables far too close to each other with no privacy when eating your meal, which we left,!! It may look nice at the moment, but, you have wasted money in renovations as it will be back to scruffy again in no time at all !!

The staff was lovely and friendly the food was great 👍 and the place looked beautiful after the refit always get the sizzling plate they are the best!! And defo try the sundays

Had a lovely meal service was 5 star food hot and on time staff were lovely highly recommended 😁😁

We..booked a table..arrived on time ..was seated.. looked at the very sticky menus...(There where notices everywhere informing us the place was closing 7th May ..for a Refurb.) We tried to order on the QR code stuck to the end of the table...and it came up with the lockeepers page then asked for you to pay £3 to varyfy the payment i had all ready put in my bank details to pay...then it took us to another page and we couldn't go any further... on asking the landlord..he said that wasn't the right page he didn't know how it had happened. not even looking at the QR Code on the table... We ordered food at the bar 2 chicken sizzlers and a fish and chips. food arrived hot ..and very minimalist compared to the pictures...when asking a member of staff they said that's the normal portion..I had two small pieces of sprouting broccoli not even half a pepper and a quarter of a onion...bothe portions where the same..with a piece of chicken out of a multi bag from farm foods ..very dry and crispy around the edges...the chips with the fish & chips had been double dipped in the fryer for the colour on them.. all together..never coming back..and won't enter one of these pubs again. Oh and the QR code is a company advertising there gaming company charge you £3 and the £27.99 every fortnight if you don't cancel it withing the first 24 hours..thankfully we started looking into it as soon as we got home..because we didn't want to be robbed again for the second time in the same night...

come here around once a week for a few drinks. Always a perfect pint. Have been for food in the past and that’s always great too. All the staff are the most wonderful people going. Always feel very welcome here. ❤️x

Went with a group of around 18 of us, a large mix of adults and kids. All orders were done separately, and some at the bar and some online, but dll food was cooked to arrive simultaneously so everyone ate at the same time. Great work guys. Will definitely come again!

Foods great and the kids deal is good. The soft play at fuzzy eds leaves a lot to be desired but the kids love it

Booked here last minute for a private party for my little ones birthday. Had been here before but not used the function room before. Room was very spacious and gave us a quiet room we could celebrate in peace. The food was all really good and the staff were extremely polite and made us all welcome. Kids are made to feel part of a group here with the play area on site as well. Overall really good we will return

the food was really good when we called for breakfast last week. The big breakfast had eggs bacon sausage hash browns beans toast and tasted excellent. Sorted my hangover right out

Food and drink were spot on. Great for the kids, great for a few beers in the sun, some customers were very loud that was the only problem.

Meal by the river. Came and it was quite warm so decided to sit out by the river. Food came and was excellent. Hot and tasty and we could order drinks through an online app so we didn’t have to move.

Came to use the play area and have some food. Staff were polite and friendly and made us a lovely cuppa. Came through to the restaurant and had an amazing steak cooked just how I liked it. Kids nuggets were great as well

The meals were excellent. Fish and chips and gammon. D decent price at 12.50 for 2 meals. The variety of fries u can get was great as well

Came here for a friend’s birthday party to try the new menu we saw advertised. The food was great. Saw many different variations of spices and sauces however still catered for the traditionalists like fish n chips and sausage and mash. Recommended

Excellent family meal and party in the play area. Team were very helpful and friendly and made my son feel very happy during his party. Excellent thank you girls

Worse place Iv ever eaten in my entire life how somthing can be burnt chewy and soggy all at the same time I do not know would never come again nor recommend to anyone what a disaster

Ordered mix grills absolutely disgusting everything tasted off! Wasn’t even asked about my food avoid at all costs it was absolutely crap

Very inclusive caters to children and adult diners alike. Exceptionally child friendly. Family areas and quieter areas diners who prefer peace and quiet.

Great food and drinks. Play area was amazing for the children. Family really enjoyed it. Food came out all together and was hot and tasty. Would recommend it msssively to other families in the area

Was in with mates for food and drinks staff were warm and friendly food was great and good value for money great place

Had a full English here last week. The sausages were excellent and the eggs were cooked exactly how I asked. Came out hot and very timely. Would recommend

Decent steak and chips at a very decent price. Sirloin was tender and juicy and the chic skewers with tandoori on were amazing

Came for a 5th birthday party with friends. The host was amazing with the children and ensured the party ran smoothly. Food for the kids was great. I was seriously impressed.

Had a family get together here. Staff were really friendly and made us feel welcome. Food had a great deal of variety and was hot and tasty. Place was really busy which was great. Thank u will be back

had a great time visiting here last week. Nachos were brilliant and tasty and the wrap i had as a main meal was excellent. The drinks were icey cold and tasty. The meal deal prices were great value as well

Very slow service..I appreciate short staffing but not an excuse to be ignorant..food cold Just to reply back to your response I understand this may of had a knock on affect but that's doesn't give your staff the right to speak to customers the way they did also when speaking to the staff we found out your bar staff was helping with the cooking which I believe is a h&s violation and cross contamination. With being under staffed the kitchen should of been closed down I get this would of had an effect on your takings but customers would of understood more than being served cold food or missing food along with being told after paying for food we ordered that they didn't have the food we wanted this should of been said when ordering.

Inexpensive but well cooked and enjoyable. Staff are very accomodating and pleasant.

Food was lukewarm warm, and the steak was mainly fat, no one came to ask if it was all ok, even after we finished, the dirty plates were left until after we left the building. Its not like it was busy, there were a few in, but not many (i wonder why?) Wont be visiting again, and also out us off going to other Sizzling pubs

NGL our food came out cold and I asked really nicely if it could be sorted and they dealt with it no probs and came back within minutes piping hot with extra fries. Hot dogs come with a proper (big) sausage and not a frankfurter. Staff will work super hard to sort your food out. It’s a cheap-as-chips pub but the food is a million times better than ‘spoons.

Good hot food and very pleasant staff. We asked for a quiet table as we knew that it was a very child friendly pub with a large kiddies play. The table was perfect though sadly our quiet table was spoiled due to ignorant people using their mobiles on speak phone. One in particular but then 2 more joined in !!! They weren't even sat near us. Maybe this establishment could make it a mobile free zone - or at least speaker free. All in all though our meal out was lovely and we understand that 'rude' people get everywhere - such a shame though as we'll probably stay with our local Sizzlers.

3 stars. I hope in the future this will be better and will update accordingly. This evening was a date night and we basically drove the car to any pub and ended up here. Will return if only for the food. I'm a greedy person and had the mega mixed grill. The best gammon I've had for a while. Steak was good and the chicken was good as well. Wish I could say perfect but at the price. It was just right. But drinks. They were a let down. Latte did not sit right, lemonade, well. I've tasted much better. I'd normally have a beer but decided on a soft drink because I was driving. Lack of choice due to unavailable products which meant I had a Pepsi max. Big problem is taste of the drinks was not good and were not satisfying. But I will return. I want them hot dogs for lunch. And hope this was a one off with the drinks. If so. It'll be 5 stars and I would recommend.

Upgraded to sweet potato fries but they weren't hot. I had Mediterranean Chicken. If your a regular at Lock Keeper this dish is the Italian Chicken instead of tomato sauce it is now salsa. But the pumped up salad is amazing

Let the kids play in Fuzzy Ed’s, briefly popped into the bar and discovered they do breakfast. Some obscure choices, steak and eggs, bacon waffles! Opted for a classic breakfast, which was brilliant with unlimited coffee and toast. Will be going again to try the...

Came for a Christmas meal. Turkey was lovely and tender and roast potatoes were perfect, stuffing and pigs spot on. Would have liked more gravy though. Will be back

Chicken skewers and beef lasagne were very good however the steak was slightly over cooked. The desserts were really good though and drinks were all perfectly served

came for a party here. Staff were polite and friendly and the cake was excellent. Came over and sung happy birthday to us. Gave us party bags and gave us coloring sheets. Food was plentiful

Had sirloin steak and jerk chicken skewers here the other day. Very nice meals. Very tasty and succulent. Polite friendly staff as well. Play area was good for the children as well

Came here one morning, not knowing what we were going to expect. Heard mixed reviews over the years. We all had breakfast with unlimited toast and coffee. Have to say it was all very nice and the staff serving us were exemplary.

Tasty hot food and with a play area attached for the kids. Mine love the play area. Quite a small one so more suitable for younger children than older children. My older child played pool so it caters for all family members

Came for a quick bite to eat during the afternoon last week. The 2 meals for 11 is a great deal. Gammon and chips was lovely and the fish was cooked just how I like. We had onion rings as well. Very tasty

Had a children’s party here. The team looked after us excellently. Were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. My son last happy and as a parent there is no better feeling than that. Thank you :)

Had a lovely meal here for our friends birthday. Food came out fast and served hot. Staff were very pleasant and friendly. Would definitely come here again when i am in the area. There was also a childrens play area attached to the pub which...

DO NOT EAT AT THIS RESTAURANT IF YOU HAVE A FOOD ALLERGY!! We booked for Christmas Day lunch and I had discussed with the manager and pre ordered gluten free food as I have celiac disease. My food contained gluten, I spent Christmas Day night...

Had a super time at the play area. Very friendly team who were more than happy to help. Went for food next door at the restaurant as well. Steaks were perfectly cooked and again staff were great

DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU HAVE A FOOD ALLERGY!! After specifying more than once I have celiac disease and needed gluten free food, I was given food with gluten in and was very poorly after. I tried to contact the restaurant twice to discuss this and they have ignored my emails.

Friendly staff, great service and quality food served freshly cooked. Visited several times over the last couple of years and never been disappointed.

Absolutely loved the surf and turf sizzler, will be returning

Not very nice food ! Ok for children playing

My first time here and the service was excellent and the chicken and steak sizzling combo was lovely and hot. I would recommend this pub.

This pub is NOT. dog ffreindly....in fact it isn't.t friendly at all.won.t be going in again

Great service ,lovely staff. Food good too. Burger deal BOGOF , excellent value

We have just got back from our Christmas dinner at the lock keeper and had to write this review to Thank Andrew and his team for a wonderful experience all the staff were attentive and cheerful the food was beautiful and plentiful we all need...

Always enjoy dining here. We visit the playcentre next door before having our tea here. The staff who work here are always friendly and welcoming. Great place for kids as some tables have TV's in the booth and some have kids games to play on the walls in booths. Food is reasonable priced as well. Great menu with plenty to eat!!

Never been in a pub with the most obnoxious unpleasant bad attitude bar tender in my whole life, Saturday afternoon hardly busy couldn't be bothered attitude no wonder the pub is empty. God help whoever as book christmas day in this pit. Staff lazy, tables...

I come here often for the whacky warehouse. Which is decent and entertains the little one for the hour slot you pay for. Food for kids is cheap and cheerful and I suppose you can say the same for the pub itself. If you fancy pub classics, a drink at a decent price in a decent pub it's worth a visit.

Had a family meal here recently, there was a great selection of food to choose from, the food was great and very reasonably priced, the staff are very friendly and polite , the kids menu and play area are fabulous and kept our little ones entertained.There is a large terrace at the back which would be great for summer dining and aspot of afternoon sunshine. Great place, cant wait to go back

Bar man was gluten free and made some brilliant recommendations. Reasonably priced in the cost of living crisis.

Booked for 16 people for a birthday party. We were seated at separate tables on opposite sides of the room. The food was acceptable but when it was served they brought 1 or 2 items at a time so by the time the last people in the party were served, the ones who had received their food first had finished. Took a birthday cake and candles and asked for it to be served before we had desert. Ended up having to ask for it after desert. Large free car park with disabled spaces near the door and disabled friendly entrance. Toilets were clean but the hand drier took ages to dry your hands.

Called here a few weeks ago for lunch, the kids absolutely loved Fuzzy Ed's play area, the food was very good, tasty and hot, the staff were lovley, very pleasant and efficient, they have a great selection of beers and wines to choose from. We all had a lovley afternoon, and it was great value for money, highly recommended, we will definitely be going back 10/10

Good service and excellent food! All the staff were friendly and accommodating, especially the lady who served us.

had a very nice time meeting with friends and family here. Service was friendly, the staff smiled and made us welcome. Food and cocktails were both excellent will certainly recommend going back

Good food and drink. Polite staff who went above and beyond in working out a discount for me on starters. Always appreciate little things like that. Steak was succulent and tender.

We came for breakfast and it was served by a manager, nothing was too much trouble. Extra toast came for the table without us requesting it. All served with a smile. Excellent service we will be back

Went to lockkeeper for food the food was amazing cooked extremely well the staff are lovely definitely would go for food and drinks again

Came for dinner with family, amazing service everyone is super friendly, great food and atmosphere .

Came for a kids party. Staff friendly and polite kids love the play area, food was served with massive ribs. Loved it

This place is amazing for food and drinks. Especially the cocktails. Great atmosphere and kids are made welcome with the TV booths and toy station.

Nice little place in need of a face lift to modernise the building . Food was good and the staff were amiable. Car park big plenty of room when busy and nice outdoor area overlooking the river

Drinks here last week with friends. Has a Pool table which we used. Also has great selection of shots and cocktails which are all pretty cheap. Didn’t have food but what left the kitchen smelled great

Had an evening out with the children. Both enjoyed the play area and both enjoyed the kids discount meal where u get a drink main and dessert. I enjoyed my steak very much as well and it was cooked perfectly

Came to the playground with my little nephew but was extremely hungry and was told I cant eat on a table in the playground which i find pretty pathetic! Very unhappy and will definitely not be coming back!! The sign states no outside food not...

Booked for a childs party, staff failed to inform us that the play area was booked out and the kids could play. Food was horrid, steak was fatty and well over cooked.

Went for lunch with my kids and partner. I ordered the sizzling fajitas when it came I got 5 little pieces of chicken which were on a plate of burnt onions and Peppers. It also came with 3 little Wraps which were burnt round the...

Fab place to eat and staff where lovely and friendly with a warm smile

Excellent location for a few drinks and a quick bite to eat. Thoroughly enjoyed myself and I know my sun did too

Not as busy for lunchtime. Food was OK, the service was OK, nothing spectacular. It seemed funny they were serving coffee ☕️ in mugs, which meant with their coffee machine, the mug was half full. If you wanted it full, you had to pay the price for another coffee.

Staff are nice, the place is clean and tidy and the food is good value for money.

kids love it here, can't grumble, foods good, beers cold, has a play area for £3. good parking.
