The best restaurants serving British food in North West

Had full English breakfast. It was lovely . Good quality food . Staff were very freindly and helpful, especially Helena who served me . She didn’t just serve, she was interested in you as a person. Will definitely come here again . I was recommended to come here by the Travelodge receptionist when I asked him for the best place to go for breakfast.

Simply AMAZING! The service , the food, the building! Aleesha our server was fab ! And chef vickys pasta 11/10 🥰 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What an authentic experience! We booked the Lancastrian Lunch for our family of 4 for my Dad’s 80th birthday. The 3 hour trip just flew by in the most memorable way! From arriving and being shown to our First class seats (they are all 1st class by the way) , a glass of fizz already on the table, a substantial 3 course meal with friendly and attentive staff, to the gentle ride through the lovely Bury/Ramsbottom countryside, it was all perfect! My Dad was allowed up into the engine to see the stoking and have a chat with the driver. This was actually the highlight for him, so a huge thanks for that!

Don’t even bother to try and get through to book a table. No one ever answers or responds to emails. Incredibly poor communication systems

We loved this place! Excellent range of hot and cold lunch choices and an equally good selection of cheeses. Staff were friendly and helpful- and it was easy to choose really healthy local produce if you wanted to.

Another cracking lunch yesterday. Fantastic value and great service. North Sea Cod Triple Cooked Chips, Creamed Peas, Tartare Sauce Chocolate Torte ‘Honey snap’ Basket, Strawberry Sorbet

Enjoyed a family meal, 4 people plus baby. Limited seats create intimate dining area. Friendly staff. Varied menu. Was able to cater for a GF meal. Also ordered to take away. Meal plus drinks for 4 cost about £50, very reasonable for area!

Jon was incredibly accommodating for a large booking, a lot more so than other places I had enquired with. The Butchers did not disappoint, the staff were friendly and the food was incredible, everyone in our party said how good it was. This place is definitely worth a visit. Thank you so much!

Wonderful fresh food. Great atmosphere to be able to talk and relax. Staff very helpful with dietary needs. Looking forward to returning.

Visited here for the first time with family a couple of weeks ago (July 2024) for a Sunday roast dinner. To be honest, I was not expecting much in the beginning: the venue from the outside is quite unassuming and has a handwritten and photocopied menu. How wrong I was. The food is simply gorgeous. I had fish cakes to start which were really lovely, great taste and just enough so as to not fill you up too much before the main course. Two of our party, myself included, had the chicken option for the main, one beef and one lamb. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food. The Yorkshire pudding, meat, roast potato and mash potato all came on the main plate with a separate bowl with carrot and swede mash, cabbage and peas for people to pick and choose as they wanted. Gravy was served on the main dish as standard however we saw a couple on another table request for theirs to come separately and it came in a jug. For me, the serving of gravy was perfect. So often you go for a roast dinner and the gravy is served like it's being rationed or the opposite and drowns your food, not here, it was just right. I had some ice-cream for dessert whilst other members of the family had some of the desserts of the day. All in all, faultless experience, will definitely return in future and would definitely recommend to others.

We turned up today after struggling to find somewhere to eat that catered for vegans. This place was fantastic, the food was freshly cooked, fresh ingredients and delicious. We had 1 chicken Japanese curry, 1 tofu and vegetable Japanese curry and 1 chicken udon noodle soup. The broth in the soup was the best I’ve ever tasted. I’d highly recommend this place.

Wow! What a fabulous experience from start to finish! We visited for my friend’s 40th and everything was perfect! Location, service and food- just beautiful! I have coeliac disease and they were so attentive and careful and went out of their way to ensure I didn’t miss out on anything. I even had different kinds of bread- believe me, this is wildly unusual for anything GF and I felt so special! All of the food was divine. I ate the lot, but totally regretted the sugar rush later on when I had a two hour drive home :-) Everything was perfect - the best afternoon tea I’ve ever had!

Was in the area for the first time and stopped in. Me, my mum and her old friends who were visiting from over seas all were blown away by the warm atmosphere and beautiful views of the park all around. The restaurant is beautiful, and the staff were so friendly and polite. We stopped for a coffee and ended up staying for lunch! Couldn’t resist after seeing what was coming from the kitchen! If you’re ever in the area I couldn’t recommend this place enough - food was delicious, menu has great options and the service was excellent. And a kind thank you to the lovely welsh woman who served us, we felt very looked after. PS - the loos were also spick and span !😊

A great evening for the four of us. Excellent service and food. The ribeye was exceptional. Fair pricing and great atmosphere. So nice to have a place like this locally. Live music on a Friday is such a nice touch. Staff very courteous and helpful and didn’t rush us out, more than happy for us to finish our drinks. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Been meaning to visit for a while and now kicking myself that I put it off so long! Relaxed informal ambiance with generous portions of great tasting food with very friendly service. Even got a decent large pub garden. Can’t wait to go back and try the Sunday lunch menu!
