visited this pub on the 1st of February am English myself but live in Scotland and was down visiting family so coming from Scotland i only had Scottish currency i made an order and went to pay with a Scottish note which the so called acting manager not only point blank refused to accept it he told me that the note i gave him was a fake just by holding it without checking it to see if it was a fake or not which was very humiliating and embarrassing as there were other patrons whom could see and hear this i will never go near this establishment ever again and would happily advise others from especially from Scotland to avoid the time and embarrassment i have spoke to the brewery stone gate whom were not happy and have reported it to the area manager and am awaiting their response ......

I can’t even stress enough how run down and neglected this YATES is.You walk in, and instantly feel like you should leave- there is a natural look of dirty, broken and run down furnishings inside the pub.Yates Bury has previously had a great reputation- always attracted many local people for the food and drinks offering, but I have no idea what has changed- but this specific site now looks neglected and run down.Probably, the WORST yates I have been in after recently visiting- I’m not blaming the staff of this site, I think head office have neglected the site and allowed it to turn into this mess.Refurbishment and deep clean is needed.

One place i will avoid. I order a round of drinks (4 drinks) at 22:20 and then was told the pub was shutting at 22:30 even tho the pub still had approx 30-40 paying customers. I had a word with manager (Charlotte bordem) and her reply was we shut at managers discretion?.... So you take my money then kick us out 10minutes later. My take on this, is that it's disgusting and very unprofessional to have manager/s treat customers this way, all because he/she wants to go home early.

The scampi & the bacon & cheese burger Were great, tasty, hot & well presented. The Amstel lager OK, could have been colder. The tables were filthy & full of dirty pots & glasses. Some of the regulars could do with being asked to leave as some of the language would was more than offensive. The staff appeared to have given up, maybe it was a bad day. they didn't have a smile between them & appeared to want to be elsewhere. I should have gone myself. The Ladies toilet had glass all over the floor & were pretty grimy.

Went with the gf for a breakfast, after waiting half an hour drinking our flat cokes trying to distract ourselves from the stench of the locals drinking at 11am in the morning our food arrived, the toast was not toasted at all , sausages were over cooked, soggy hash browns, runny white eggs and a single folk full of beans on the plate. Wouldn’t feed the stuff they served to a dog.

I popped in starving after football because I had a drink voucher for this place and decided to eat as well. Very impressed with how clean and tidy the place was however another patron reeked of cannabis. Loads of tv screens and music playing. Hunter's chicken on chips was a large plate for a fiver, quite deep with food, a good thick cheesy sauce and sweet bbq sauce were slathered on top of chicken pieces, bacon and plenty of chips. It was hot and well cooked. No complaints with service, food, price or environment. Meant to be a sharer but I ate the lot myself and was stuffed.

on a shopping trip today visited this pub for a spot of lunch, they had a special offer on for Wednesdays, a burger and chips for £3.45 so my friend and I thought that's good value, on the photo of the meal was a nice big burner with salad and chips. Have to say the service was very quick and the staff very friendly, but when the burger came the first thing we noticed was the only salad on it was lettuce, but that was fine, but when we tried to eat it, the burger was burnt, tasteless, the meal wasn't hot, so it was hardly touched, and we would have left but had ordered and paid for a sweet, salted caramel and chocolate cake, with ice cream and caramel sauce, well that came, looked ok, but no caramel sauce, so went to the bar and asked the girl if we could have some caramel sauce and off she went to get some, but she came back to us and apologised cause they had run out of caramel sauce, that said the sweet was ok, to be fair we could have just picked the wrong thing off the menu, but a burnt burger is a burnt burger, needless to say we would not go back there again x

Went for lunch today following an enjoyable time there the last time we visted Bury. I have to say I don't think we will return. The food was late coming and when it did the gourmet burger was as if it had been microwaved forever... no relish on it..dry as a bone. More worryingly my sisters mac and cheese came with pieces of white hard plastic in it(as if broken off a plastic container)!!! I told a member of staff ,as a child could choke on this but he just said he'd deal with it and strolled back behind the bar!!! No sign of an apology. I have only given 2 stars as my Mum enjoyed her scampi and the lady behind the bar was pleasant and brought out our food straight out when I said it hadn't arrived. No cutlery though..To try and end on a positive. .. The Halloween Dec's were great...

I don't come here often at all, certainly not a regular, but there are two members of bar staff (Alice and Craig) who ALWAYS remember me and exactly what I order and by the time I'm at the bar my glass is on the bar and they're reaching for the red. It's such a lovely gesture to take the time to remember stuff like that but it makes the world of difference and creates a lovely, welcoming atmosphere.The food here has always been lovely and it's a nice night out.

We came to Yates for breakfast this morning and all i could think throughout was how i couldn't wait to blast them on TripAdvisor. As i had an appointment nearby we decided to stop for a quick breakfast, and quick it was not. After being pushed in line i finally ordered my meal, the lady was friendly enough but didn't say anything about the queue skipper which i found quite annoying. I ordered three big breakfast's which came with coffee or tea. The wait was long, even for the drinks which were cold by the time they got to our table meaning that they were made and left on the side. And even when the drinks arrived, i was now behind schedule for my interview. I didn't really have high expectations as it was a typical pub breakfast but please.. Hire a chef who can cook! The sausages were rock hard, bacon looked like it had just been slaughtered, the eggs were greasier than unwashed hair. It looked inedible, what made it worse was the lovely view of Bury, with pedestrians spitting, smoking and mothers swearing and hitting their children in the streets. I would never come back here even if I was paid to.

First visit to Bury with a friend and in need of some food and drink we found Yates, ordered a bottle of wine and the 2 meal deal at £6.95 - both had the fish and chips which we didn't have to wait too long and our service was even better by the very cheery Jessica. It had been quite busy when we first entered the pub and noticed how quickly Jessica was serving and clearing up, also as we had never been to Bury before we asked Jessica for some info and she was very helpful and you knew she wanted to help, so nice to see friendly staff nowadays as at some places you cant even get a smile off them.

We indulged ourselves with a lie in so breakfast was abandoned. However, shopping makes you peckish and Bury is a nice place to go and visit on a Wednesday; so my wife and I dropped in for refreshment.Food2 meals for £6.95. My wife got the best one-a chicken tikka with rice and naan that she really enjoyed. The curry had a subtle kick!. My BBQ chicken breast was nice, but next time I'll go for the tikka.PricesFor two meals and a Carlsberg lager (£2.05) and a full pint of diet coke without ice (£1.60) the cost was £10.60. Excellent value. I also noticed Stella was £3.30 for a pint-much cheaper that other bars.The premises were clean and the toilets spotless, and whilst the service was slow, this did not bother us as we were in no hurry. The staff were polite and friendly, but you are not going to get an abundance of staff at this time of day/week.We left refreshed and with a good feeling-and we will have no hesitation in making a further visit. Some of these pub chains receive a lot of stick that baffles us- surely it is much better to pay £10/15 for a basic meal that is adequate, as opposed to forking out big money that do not have in the first place?

On Saturday the 25th July 2015, my family and I (5 adults), where out shopping in Bury with our main aim to visit the wonderful Bury market, we decided to have lunch and went into Yates on Market Street. The place was quite full, but not everyone in there where there to dine, we found a table for us all and once we had selected our food two members of my party went to the bar top order our food and drinks. That is where the problem started! Our order was taken in full (drinks and all) and my father returned to the table with his pint of beer, my wife then explained that the waitress would be bringing our drinks over to us, which she did some 10 minutes later! As we sat waiting for our meals which was a while, but due to the amount of people dining we understood that it could take time to arrive. Anyhow after approximately 30mins our waitress arrived at our table to inform us that they had ran out of eggs, we had for the two mixed grills paid an extra £1.50 to upgrade them to large meals that included and extra egg (1 already came with the meal), an extra sausage and onion rings, my father had ordered the ‘All day breakfast’, which also included an egg. She never offered an alternative or the chance of an extra sausage etc in-Lieu of the eggs! Our meals eventually arrived a further 15 minutes afterwards, but without the three portions of peppercorn sauce we had initially ordered, when we mentioned this to our waitress it seemed so much trouble to her as though she did not wish to there! After 15 minutes waiting we once again had to enquire once again about the whereabouts of the our peppercorn sauce, to which our waitress informed us that the chef was making it (I cannot believe that they do not have an amount already prepared for the day), which makes me believe that it was never taken into account when our order was placed.The soft drinks that we had ordered (cola, lemonade) arrived flat and weak!Having said the above, the food was of a reasonable standard all be it small in size, my son’s girlfriend had the Mac & cheese, with the barbecue pulled pork topping, which she said was lovely.At no point throughout our stay did the manager or senior duty manager approach us to offer an apology or a round of complementary drinks, nor where we offered a refund for the missing food items.Overall not a good experience was had by all my party!! So come on Yates get a grip and I hope that you will learn from the above.
