The Pavilion Bistro in Rochdale

Food was very nice, great decor. However the bistros customer service let it down badly: On booking we were asked to pay £10 deposit per guest ( on a Saturday afternoon in October). We asked what was on the deserts list and was told to go up and take a photo of it to read at the table! When ordering deserts we were asked to order quickly as we had a time limit of 2 hours!! One of our party cancelled due to Ill health Leaving 7 paying ladies. We were not refunded the deposit. One more negative- the parking spaces are far too narrow resulting in a dinted door when leaving. Sorry but won’t be returning any time soon, far too many other eateries close by that offer excellent customer service.

We booked the Pavilion Bistro for our wedding meal as it’s our favourite local restaurant. The service was incredible and the food was amazing. Very friendly staff who looked after all of our guests. The management and staff all went over and above to make it the perfect afternoon and evening. We have enjoyed every meal at the Pavilion and hope to visit for many years to come.

A big thank you to Debbie and staff for providing a superb meal in the garden room to celebrate our Golding Wedding Anniversary. As always, the service and quality of food was excellent. The staff were friendly and very helpful in providing another great experience, within the beautiful settings of the bistro.

I came here yesterday for my grandmas 80th birthday, firstly they wouldn’t allow us to place the tables as we wanted, we had a party of 17 and wanted one long table so we could all socialise, we were separated on to 4 tables and had to shout across the room to one another, very odd start Four of us ordered steaks and every single one was cooked terribly, all extremely well done…cremated! When I mentioned mine to the waitress she said I wouldn’t get any rarer than that, there was no pink whatsoever. I ordered the kids omelette and chips and she had a bigger portion than any of us! There were about 6 chips on my partners plate a long with a steak that looked like awful beef jerky The younger members of staff were lovely but that was it. The only positive was spending time with my family, albeit from a far! The price was a real shock 😳😳 Really don’t recommend sadly!

Lovely food great surroundings definitely a must go, been twice and will be going again. Lots of choice too

The place is beautiful and the food was lovely. What let's this place down is the abysmal service. The order for the first course and drinks were efficient. When we wanted to order a dessert and another drink was when everything fell down. I asked the gentleman clearing our plates if we could order desserts, he disappeared and the one waitress serving seemed to go to every table apart from ours to see if they wanted to order anything else. After a half hour wait we gave up. We went to celebrate our Ruby Wedding and it was ruined. I felt quite upset as I am disabled and wondered if I was being discriminated against. We looked at the menus for celebration afternoon tea and Christmas but will give our custom to another restaurant in the area of which there are a few.

Exceptional service delivered from your staff, we attended as part of a wedding guest patty last Friday afternoon everything was very well organised and your staff are a credit to you, Thank you

Visited Pavilion Bistro 15/0824 with 2 friends.. Would highly recommend.. Amazing Food, Friendly staff, Service Great, Beautiful place inside & out... Unfortunately we couldn't sit outside as weather too bad, but surroundings well kept & very clean... Cannot fault this Bistro & will definitely return

It was our first time here & what a delight it is. It’s a very smart restaurant with friendly staff, great staff & fabulous food. It’s not expensive for the quality of food you get & the presentation is fabulous. Definitely worth a visit.

Outstanding again on the inclusive menu. Staff were superb. What a great place!

Very nice environment. I couldn't say about the food because I only had hot drinks

Enjoyed Sunday lunch last weekend celebrating my auntie’s 85th birthday. We soaked up the sun on the terrace and enjoyed a delicious, well presented fish & chips, hallumi salads, drinks & a scrumptious carrot cake. The service was attentive & friendly. The Pavillion Bury is my new favourite, “go to”. Looking forward to returning September 22nd. Another birthday with the girls. ❤️🌟

Good food, just not enough of it for the price. The atmosphere was lively, and the outdoor area was beautiful with free crown green bowling on offer. Fabulous.

Fabulous meal with good service well worth a visit

Afternoon Tea 27/07/24 Afternoon Tea 90th birthday treat for 3. Booked 3 weeks in advance at £20 per head as per website and paid deposit of £30. Had to ask for hot water for the tea and more milk. Ordered drinks from bar which never arrived. On paying balance was asked for an extra £12? Told price had increased week earlier and new menu. In a nutshell - not my problem. I will pay what website quoted when I booked as not informed of any increase. In truth £24 for that Afternoon Tea and Service?? Not what was expected from The Pavilion and previous experience there.

I really wasn’t sure what to expect when my mother and father in law booked this restaurant for my husband’s birthday. But wow what an amazing venue. The grounds are lovely. However, the most impressive elements were the food and service. I had tempura prawns which literally melted in the month. My nephew had the squid which he said was really nice. In fact all 8 of us loved our starters and our main courses. I’d definitely recommend the steak pie. The pastry was so thin which was the perfect vessel to hold the steak and ale sauce. The gravy was divine. The staff were so lovely, Iain and Debbie were so welcoming and charming throughout our meal. But I have to say all the staff were exceptional. Thoroughly recommend and we will be back!

Loved it great night went for my birthday

Great food, had coffee and cake. Stunning location, highly recommended but touch expensive

Disappointing to be charged for unwell colleagues who couldn’t attend the meal as ‘no show’. Called restaurant before to apologise about illness. Spoke to manager but was not informed of cancellation fee still being applied. Never come across such an absurd policy when some of the group still attends for a 3 course meal and drinks. So many unoccupied tables but informed it was at capacity... It was a shame as it ruined a nice meal. Don’t think I’ll return to a restaurant who fleeces it regular customers

Second time coming here and another poor review. On this occasion the food and service were ok but we were lumped with a £30 fee for “no shows” (£10 per head). Despite informing the restaurant prior and plenty of table availability they refused to give us the deposit back. This is not standard practice for restaurants. If the restaurant is informed that the booking is changed then this should be respected especially if the restaurant is not busy. Life is unpredictable with illness etc and the customers who do show up should not be penalised. Really puts me off coming back and I definitely wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

Been coming here since it first opened. The breakfast, Sunday lunch, all meals, are always fab u lous. Recently came for afternoon tea, which was very special, on a beautiful afternoon. The staff, and venue, are lovely. Always a pleasure coming here, with friends and family. Very fairly priced. Will continue to come regularly. Very highly recommended.

Lovely food, good service, good portion size - and well balanced meals, nice atmosphere and pretty surroundings - 3rd visit and will be back

Really lovely place to eat,beautiful gardens.Food was lovely and Staff really nice

We ate at the Pavilion to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary while staying in the area. The weather was spectacular & we chose a table outside overlooking the well groomed bowling green. Our server Ian was very helpful & deserves a special mention. My wife had the lamb shank & I had the steak, both meals absolutely delicious. Thanks to Ian & all the staff for making our anniversary a special experience & we'll be definitely back again when we're in the area. Thank you & see you soon.

Visited this gorgeous restaurant/wine bar on a Thurdsay at 5pm. Superb, welcoming service from the moment we arrived. The food was simply delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. This place exudes style and sophistication, and is immaculately presented to the highest standard. A special mention goes to Jason, our designated waiter, who was faultless in his work, friendly, helpful and made our visit even more enjoyable - if that was possible! Well done to all involved in creating this excellent experience.

Nice place, hospitable staff, we ate grilled meat and fish. The included offer to play on the grass bowling green is interesting. We didn't try due to bad weather.

We had a fabulous time here celebrating a “big Birthday “. It was a Sunday lunchtime so the afternoon tea was unfortunately not available; however, the choice and quality of food was excellent. Can highly recommend the beef roast dinner and the lobster club sandwich. The house wine is very well priced (£16) and delicious. The restaurant decor is beautiful and modern and the facilities (wc) spotlessly clean. The outside area is a lovely place to take after dinner coffees. Both waitresses who served us were extremely helpful and friendly Will most definitely return for afternoon tea.

A disappointment. There is more I can say but my biggest gripe was with the vegetarian burger. Halloumi and mushroom, costing the same as the beef burger. Halloumi was just two blocks, not even slices that cover the burger, I am talking cubes. And the mushroom, just sat in the middle of the bun taking up just about half of its surface area. My advice, get a portabella and slice the halloumi then maybe it could at least serve as a half decent burger. At least the arancini starter was nice.

Had a great afternoon at the pavilion to Celebrate Lynne Hargreaves’s birthday with The Hills. Enjoyed the bowling and the Prosecco on the terrace balcony! Great food and drinks, can’t fault it!!!! thank you to Debbie and her team! Back soon for another game and perhaps a row around the lake! And of course, more Prosecco.

Fabulous food. Staff lovely. Surroundings very good too

Beautiful place, the food was decent.

Paid £40 for a 3 course meal and drinks. Always love a date with the girls here. The profiteroles were delicious highly recommend. Service with a smile as always. We love the staff and been going for years. Must be a good place to work as no staff turnaround.

Honestly the most vile Sunday roast I’ve ever had , shame it’s in such a beautiful restaurant with clearly such a poor chef

Lovely meal and friendly service as always, celebrating my wife's 50th birthday 🎂

Thank you so much for your superb welcome,service,food and overall care. My friends and I couldnt have been more impressed. Absolutely perfect!!

Visited for breakfast which was lovely and returned to celebrate special birthday. Views, food and service were faultless and staff went extra mile putting birthday candles in my cheese plate and taking photos of the group. Six adults all enjoyed 3 excellent courses - quality flavour and presentation all first class - we will be back!

I love this establishment, modern and well kept. Been going here for many years and never a bad experience. Staff exceptionally hospitable and so welcoming. The menu is comprehensive and lots of choice. The melon starter is simple but refreshing, spare ribs and pate also good choices. Main courses of tuna steak, battered fish, monkfish curry plus beef burger all good and recommended. A super eaterie which I ll continue to recommend.

I found the food was not up to the standard I previously had from the beautiful place , I visited the pavilion many times not just for a Sunday lunch but for coffee and cake

I have visited many times but have just had Afternoon tea for a baby shower at the pavilion, There were 17 of us which meant we were able to have one dining area to ourselves which was really lovely. The staff were very attentive and helpful throughout our afternoon, Special mention to Matt for his extra help from the beginning of my booking 😀 Everyone commented on how lovely the venue and afternoon tea was so Thank you again 😀

A wonderful venue, in a very special place. Food beyond compare. Staff who are caring and attentive. Beautiful surroundings, reflecting the quality and high standards, which are maintained at every visit. It's such a pleasure to be the recipient of everything this impeccable restraunt strives to provide.

Lovely staff are always welcoming. Just need to learn how to pouch an egg and not make it hard boiled

I would recommend the Pavillion for breakfast or brunch. The surroundings are lovely and really add to the ambience. We all enjoyed our meals and the portion size was good, I enjoyed the poached eggs but would try something different next time. The coffee is lovely too. In the future we'd try lunch or dinner and they host big family meals too. If you visit make sure you explore the surrounding gardens, waterfall and nearby reservoir. The service overall was good, we just had to wait a little while to get seated even though we'd booked. We look forward to visiting again.

Food is absolutely beautiful, with a special nod to the chef who makes the cheese rice balls, they are as close to perfection as possible! Waiters are always extremely helpful, cheery and nothing you ask is ever too much trouble. We will definitely be attending again ASAP,

If I could give no stars I would. I had to cancel a meal for 6 as one of our party was taken poorly, so rather than lose the table I thought it would be nice for my Partner and I to go for a meal instead (use the reservation rather than lose the table) I called the restaurant to advise there would only be 2 attending due to illness, only to be told I would lose £40.00 of the deposit I had paid ! I asked why it could not be offset against the meal the 2 attending would have and was told, very abruptly, that it was part of the Company's T's & C's that they do not do refunds, and that it was unfeasible to offset for the 2 who would have attended. She said I could rebook the meal for a later date - the deposit would be 'held over' until then, which means they have £60 of my money until we re-book which could be in 6 days or 6 weeks, dependent on when the person is well enough. I booked this reservation online and I have checked my emails and online booking for these T's & C's and find can nothing, there is nothing on the website that says they will keep the deposit for any reason ! The website does not have a copy and I have called the Restaurant to request a copy of them be emailed to me, I did tell the lady on the phone that if I had the choice we would not be attending at all but I have no choice if I do not want to lose my £60, and we certainly will not be going back any time soon.

First time I'd been after many reccomendations and wasn't disappointed. Going back on Sunday for Mother's Day. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful lunch date with my Mum & Son, couldn’t fault anything, absolutely 1st class. The setting and bistro is fantastic, staff are attentive but not pushy and you are not rushed. The scallop starter was delicious I had melon again lovely. For mains we had tuna steak and Cajun potato’s, trio of fish and steak and chips, can’t fault anything all top class and beautifully presented. Desserts were lemon roulade so lovely and light and Bakewell tart and cream all stunning. We will definitely return and would highly recommend.

Excellent value...wonderful food and friendly yet very professional staff February mid week deal not to be missed..so lucky to have this as our local

Homely and cheerful dining environment. Food has good complementary flavours and excellent choice. Service slightly slow but pleasant and with customer focus. Food good value for money. Well satisfied.

Came with family for dinner and as always the food and service were delicious, a stones throw from where we live We have visited lots and it has never disappointed, waiting on staff are friendly and the food was delicious 😋 10/10

Lovely food and amazing customer service!

Great atmosphere. Nice and relaxed. Lovely food with great service.

Beautiful surroundings fantastic venue excellent service and facilities.

Food was absolutely amazing. I had the roast beef dinner. It was beautiful. Will definitely be returning.

A visit for a birthday treat. Modern building. Food excellent. Menu varied and was difficult to choose. Scallops to start, beautifully pan fried served with perfect accompaniment of black pudding and cauliflower purée. Sea Bass fillet and Fish Trio for mains. Sea Bass served on a bed of superb roasted potatoes with samphire. Fish Trio a combo of lightly battered cod with home made creamy tartare sauce, Sea Bass fillet and a large ramekin of delicious fish pie topped with creamy mash grilled to perfection. Light fresh profiteroles and coffee to finish. Generous portions all round. The care applied to both the menu and the food was very apparent. Staff very professional and efficient. Very reasonably priced given the quality. We will definitely be visiting again, hopefully to eat outside once the weather allows. 11/10

Below average food - and overpriced. We were very disappointed with the food here. Clearly the sauces are from a packet/jar and are tasteless, the steak is overpriced and only comes with a few chips and a partially cooked tomato. Starters completely tasteless. Vegetarian wellington was just a mushroom wrapped in pastry - nothing else inside it to add any flavour. Very poor food on the whole

very nice place staff friendly food was lovely

Absolute amazing experience the food was out of this world and the customer service was next to non with a special mention to Ian outstanding

Tried booking on line no response, took a chance & we drove from Birmingham to Manchester & booked into The Midland Hotel. The Bistro was recommended by friends. My wife tried phoning from Manchester, automated response. I tried phoning an hour later 'NO ANSWER' automated response. "we will call you back" was the recorded message. [Jokers] We decided to drive to the Bistro on the off chance. Still no return phone calls to either of us. One minute away, I received a phone call, which was surprising because I phone nearly an hour after my wife, yet they phoned me first, & not my wife & still no confirmation of booking online. Shocking! Lost a customer, sort yourselves out.

Beautiful as always! The garlic mushrooms to start, and the profiteroles for dessert were the best I have ever had. The staff are always so friendly!

Beautiful place to eat staff amazing food great

Where do I start? From the moment we walked in I knew we’d made a terrible mistake. There was a very strange, awkward welcome from a young lad who thought he was hilarious by welcoming us in his very best Spanish accent, to the cheap and nasty lightweight cutlery and paper napkins. As we were already there we ordered just starters to test the water. At this point we were told we had to order our main to which I said I didn’t want to. We were then accosted by the same waiter five minutes later insisting we ordered our main. I again said we didn’t want to and we didn’t want to be forced to either. A very strange set up, you want to feel welcomed in a restaurant and this was far from what we were accustomed to. Starters arrived and as predicted were terrible. Rice balls looked like they’d just been defrosted then heated up and the muscles were the smallest we’ve ever encountered. Quite frankly this is probably one the worst restaurants we’ve been to. We sent both back, paid for our wine and made a swift exit.

Absolutely amazing restaurant, the service and food are second to none! Loved the food highly recommend the breaded chicken burger and the steak and ale pie. The staff are all so friendly and attentive. Will be back again soon Thankyou to all the staff at pavilion especially Matt and Iain!

Lovely place great food reasonably priced

Yet another excellent night at The Pav, with delish food and friendliest, professional service, always at hand, ready to assist. Ensured we were always happy & nothing too much trouble. Never rushed us & as ever, we had a lovely Christmas Girls night out. Looked after us all night, just as did last time we were there. Thanks for running outside, when I'd left my favourite scarf behind. Excellent night & the whole scene was a Winter Wonderland. Loved It. Jenny & the girls. And the Black Sheep was wonderful. 7Dec.

Don't visit if celebrating a special occasion and don't take your own cake. They are the only restaurant I know that charges per head for cutting the cake. They want to charge for every little item, bit of ice cream with sweet rather than cream. No one from my party will go again.

Great table under the tree! Service and staff were fantastic. Food excellent, been a few times now and will definitely be going again!

We walked in to be greeted by a grumpy bar tender who seemed like he couldn’t be bothered to check the clipboard for our reservation. We were seated and offered a drink - still no smile from the bar tender. The food was average at best - the portion size was dire for an adult - my meal consisted of 2 fillets of sea bass, a smear of tomato purée and a few roast potatoes. I ended up finishing my daughter’s leftovers because I was still so hungry. The desserts looked mass-produced and uninspiring so I opted for a speciality coffee, which they forgot and so took off the bill. Finally, we left, and despite 3 members of staff being stood by the door, nobody said goodbye to us. We have visited here a few times and have never been particularly bowled over by the food and service (it is just local to us so we wanted to support the business), but this experience lacked any warmth or friendliness, so we won’t be visiting again. I’m really baffled by all the glowing reviews on here lol!

Lovely place, beautiful setting overlooking the bowling pavillion with lovely landscaping. Wheel accessible and also has wheelchair accessible toilet. Food great and not overpriced. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely Sunday afternoon meal with the family

Pavilions have a nice atmosphere. Food was OK nothing special. Soup was a bit tasteless, nsin course was a little overcooked. I was disappointed.

Varied and full menu. Except food. Good attentive service. Thanks.

We had our first visit this evening to celebrate my parent in laws wedding anniversary and I just wanted to let you know how impressed we were. The food was delicious, but the service was serving to none, Iain was our waiter and he was absolutely fantastic, so attentive and so polite, and I was told that it was my night off when I passed him the plates! The food came out in great time, no waiting, which is great when you have an impatient, hungry 12 year old. As we were leaving Iain took the time to stop me to commend my son on his manners, this really meant a lot. Absolutely first class food and service, we will definitely be back. Thank you so much

Excellent night out. Great staff, lovely food. Good choice of wine. Everywhere was clean. Plenty of room between tables. Definitely value for money.

First time visiting here but can recomend as it was mid afternoon we decided to have the 2 course option price wise cist more than chain pub food,but was worth it staff very nice and very efficient

Lovely time at the pavilion for an evening meal for a group celebrating a birthday. Location is very nice, the place itself is great and the staff did really try to make sure everything was how we wanted it. A couple of issues when bringing the food out and a drinks order to the table caused confusion but was then dealt with in a professional manner. Would recommend a visit here without question.

Attended yesterday, as a party of fourteen to celebrate an 80th birthday meal. Very attentive staff, excellent service. LEveryones meals came out together and everyone thoroughly enjoyed them. Highly recommend and would gladly visit again.

Amazing food excellent staff have been here four times now and the quality and attention to detail is second to none. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend.

Great food, excellent service, and great surroundings

My recent visit to Pavilion Restaurant in Bury was nothing short of exceptional. The monkfish and prawn curry was a taste sensation, and Iain, our waiter, was a true professional. The attention to detail and overall atmosphere made this an unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommended!

Sunday dinner was awful, pork was over cooked , watery carrot and swede , cauliflower cheese was just cooked in cream, no trace of cheese! Peas and ham in cream, no taste except just cream ! Parsnips shavings , would have just preferred roasted parsnips but probably because the other veg wasn’t very nice. Pudding was the smallest sliver of roulade which was basically sponge with lemon moose . Sorry it Very disappointing .

Beautuful foid & surroundings. Staff were just lovely. Would highly recommend.

We had a great experience dining here on a Saturday evening. The service was prompt and super attentive, the food was excellent and the fillet steak I had was cooked perfectly. Will certainly return again in future.

My partner and I visited the Pavillion for a birthday meal in September and we couldn’t fault the food or service. Everything was perfect. We were served by a tall gentleman. He was so attentive and made the night really special. Best service I’ve had in a long time. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Eat here alot. Always so nice. However, end of Sept 23, took the family for an early dinner, chicken came out tasting like tuna, obviously cooked in same pan at same time.that had to go back. Meal was changed. But we had to eat without her whilst they made her something else. I had fillet steak pie . Takes 40 mins to cook. I got the meal in 25 mins. They were busy amd as soon as we sat down they said we need the table back by a specific time. Blumin eck, can we just sit down first and look at menu. Some of the meat in the pie was alright but most of it was tough. I did tell them, but fell on deaf ears. They just said it's fillet steak, it can't be tough. Well it is, im a 60 year old woman, i do not need to be told when a meal isnt right and food is tough. I wrapped the meat up and put it in a tissue to take home for my dogs. He then walked past me and said, it cant of been that bad, youve eaten it all. Not wasting my time arguing with a waiter. Nothing else was said, so after paying 24.00 for 8 chips, and an uneatable pie, we will not be returning to your establishment. And will not be recommending to any more of my business clients to eat here. Very disappointed guys, and rather rude. 😞

Lovely place, food 😋 reasonably priced

Sad to say that we booked for the Pvillion and whilst teh staff were very attentve, the food really wasnt anything special. Certainly doesnt justify the price tag. Vegetables smothered in cream (peas and Cauliflower Cheese - minus cheese) really werent pleasant. We ordered the Roast Beef, which came and looked perfectly cooked (Medium Rare) sadly lacked any flavour at all, especially for supposed 30 day matured Beef. The accompanying Gravy tasted like it had been knocked up from a tin of Bisto. The Carrot mash was watery and certainly not pleasant. Hopefully we caught the chef on a bad day! Whilst the setting and service are top notch, we rushed home for a Covid Test, just to see if our tastebuds had stopped working.

Enjoyed a fabulous evening at the Pavilion, Friday 29th September, celebrating my son's 40th birthday! The food was excellent, ambience perfect, the staff & Debbie were very welcoming and attentive, making sure that everything was just right for 13 guests. It was a very memorable evening. Would highly recommend.

First visit 27.09 and won’t be the last. Date night for me and my girl, wanted somewhere cosey and cute but modern this fit the bill! Tried to book online but was no availability so call them by the off chance and they managed to get us in. Welcomed in by a lovely lady, polite and her professionalism was second to none! First impressions establishment was stunning the pictures do not do this place justice. We opted for the 2 courses for £15 (I think it was) good variety of menu and worth every penny. We also had lobster to share for the first time and I can say I’d definitely have it again. Only downfall was fish for the main my partners fish was completely raw on the inside right through we advised the waiters who assisted straight away and offered to replace or refund without hesitation and couldn’t have been more apologetic. Beautiful night and we’re coming back for the Christmas special night 👌

I had asparagus & poached egg the plate had lots of water on it. I had duck for mains and the duck was emptied on to my plate with the bloody juices it was cooked in. I did not expect this from a restaurant of your standard. Dessert was good.

Lovely Bistro set in a beautiful location. The staff were super friendly and I would've eaten everything on the menu, great choice for everyone! We revisited this evening and were not disappointed. I would however like to mention a certain member of the serving staff. I don't know his name, he has a beard and we have been lucky enough to be served by him on several occasions. He has a fantastic way with customers, very knowledgeable of the food and local area. He just makes our visit special and is an asset to the restaurant!

We had a great lunch on Friday. All the staff were fantastic and were so friendly. We really enjoyed our Seabass. Lovely surrounding and fairly priced for the quality you get. Debbie was especially nice especially having our fussy mother with us and the man and young girl serving in the restaurant were so friendly. We will be back.

The fillet steak pie is getting better and better 😁👍

We had a lovely lunch here, the food and service couldn't be faulted. We will definitely return soon.

Visited the Pavilion last week for the first time in many years. Have previously experienced poor service here which is why I haven’t been for so long. Decided to give it another try but I’m sorry to say that the service is still below standard. The food we had really was fantastic, we had two courses for £15 and ordered the sea bass, chicken breast, chocolate brownie and lemon roulade. I can’t fault the food and the kitchen team are doing a brilliant job but they are being let down by some of the front of house team. I have never been spoken to in such a rude manner in a restaurant before and it’s certainly not acceptable. After speaking to friends about the experience, I realise I’m not the only one that this has happened to but I will choose to take my custom elsewhere in the future. Many other reviews raise the same issue, this really does need to be addressed by the senior management / owners of the business.

Very nice restaurant in wonderful gardens nice food and great service Very nice staff so helpful in every way Nice place to go for a special occasion

Apart from one member of staff (a very cheerful man) we found most of the staff quite rude,especially the female manager !! She was most unhelpful & patronising!!

Went for a meal Sunday evening. Really nice setting with beautiful gardens. Good service and lovely food. Standout dishes were the Black Pudding starter and the Cheese and Onion Pie. Would definitely recommend.
