The Pavilion Bistro

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.

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!

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! Ver carta

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 .

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.

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 Ver carta

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.

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...

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 we... Ver carta
