Nutters Restaurant

Reviewed By Christine C - Tissamaharama, Sri Lanka

Went to Nutters today for masterclass really looking forward to it and also husbands birthday today which I explained at booking!!
No class today apparently last week but that had been cancelled due to weather fair comment only we didn’t receive any notification and would of been able to say our class had been booked for today.
Mr Nutter was not interested apologised fair enough however decent customer service would of offered you a bottle of wine or discount at next meal having driven there 40 minutes and then 40 minutes home. Very disappointed with his attitude clearly not interested and very arrogant, another member of staff initially said no one here come back later are they real people who make these comments.
All I can say will never go back had after noon tea There a couple of weeks ago and wasn’t impressed today just confirmed my opinion

The Waterside Restaurant Bar & Terrace

Located in the heart of the Pennines, this loungey little bar and restaurant in Littleborough provides the perfect pitstop for weary sightseers and is a cosy spot popular with locals for intimate evening meals and superb Sunday roasts. The Waterside Restaurant and Bar has a stylish and comfortable interior decorated with chocolate brown sofas and high-backed leather booths for semi-private dining, and there is an al fresco Terrace for sunny outdoor dining during the warmer months. Famous for its roasts, the kitchen at Waterside offers a variety of options from the minted lamb shoulder to the salted pork crackling and roasted Tunisian lemon chicken. Fish fans will also love the seafood selection ��� we love the smoked haddock lasagne with Atlantic shrimps and wilted spinach.

The Cedar tree

Reviewed By Sue-Mark6404

Tried here due to reports about how fresh the food is, homemade to be precise. We both enjoyed our meals and to be fair the service was good. What left a sour taste in our mouths was the dessert, it was the selection of mini desserts,we enjoyed that too, until I saw the exact same thing in Iceland! I am so disappointed that a place of this standard would serve supermarket desserts.

Bella Sera

Reviewed By david n - Manchester, United Kingdom

Had a nice meal here... The restaurant was compact and very noisy with a couple of large party groups making a lot of noise..... The staff were very nice and the food was very good and the service was also good at a reasonable price..... The only other downside was they didn't have beer on tap and only had bottles which were expensive and overpriced..... Overall not too bad... Would probably go again... But would have a drink in a pub before I went in

Parthenon Taverna

Reviewed By Jack G - Rochdale, United Kingdom

We have dined here on several occasions and never been disappointed.But we have now found that there is an earlybird menu which offers superb value the portions are as usual enormous and there is no reduction in quality.The service from Zoe and Jennie is always very friendly and welcoming and Ramos certainly knows how to cook authentic Greek cuisine. Ramos was even apologetic at having to slightly increase some prices which we felt was still excellent value.For anyone who loves Greece I would suggest that you try this restaurant you will not be disappointed. We will certainly be back soon.

We live just a short walk from this wonderful restaurant, have been often..always met with a friendly welcome, absolutely fabulous food..never anything but excellent and great wines to match
The family who own the restaurant have done a brilliant job in renovating an old pub and converting it into a restaurant which always delivers everything you expect..decor, menus, wine list..and happy friendly faces..we always leave with a smile and want to go again as soon as we can
If you haven’t been before do go and see for yourselves, if like us you have been before..then you already know how good it it is

Hoya's Cantonese Restaurant

A family owned business in the heart of Heywood. We serve tasty and contemporary Cantonese meals all freshly cooked and made to order.

Reviewed By Pickle866 - Rochdale, United Kingdom

First visit yesterday to collect our take away meal. Tried Hoya’s due to excellent reviews. Staff were friendly and pleasant, the food was reasonably priced and hot. We had three different dishes and all were very fresh and tasty. We all commented that the food wasn’t ‘gloopy’, as is sometimes the case with other take away places. We will most certainly return and will try the restaurant too.

The Pavilion 2 Bangladeshi Restaurant & Take Away

Reviewed By Eysha H - Greater Manchester, United Kingdom

I was so looking forward to gojng to the Pavillion, having been several times previously. In fairness havent been in the last 12 months and won't be rushing back. Positives- staff friendly and nan bread lovely. The rest of food was not up to my expectations. Curries served in cereal bowls rather than metal bowls on hot plates, chicken pakora tastless and overcooked. The madras was mild, the biryanni was too spicy and someone in their infinite wisdom served it with the omelette on the bottom of the dish, why? Also the staff previously looked smart, yet they now look like a bunch of random blokes off the street from chef to the Delivery driver. Such a shame, as you could always rely on the curries here. Finally don't use leftover napkins in the toilets for customers to dry their hands - just tacky.
