Bars with atmosphere in Middleton

“I have been a regular customer at this coffee bar ever since it opened the lady who runs the business is a wonderful welcoming and kind individual. I have visited many cafes around the area but in my personal opinion this has a more homely atmosphere to it. The food is spot on and I have never had a bad meal”

“Always great food at reasonable prices. Delivery drivers always polite on arrival even when I’ve not had change to tip, which is rare for me because I really enjoy the food so try to always tip. Ordered on New Year’s Eve and it arrived in 25 minutes. I never usually leave reviews but have been ordering from here a few years now and feel they deserve it.”

“Burgers are absolutely top tier and taste amazing. Can tell they have been made with real care. Once, they got a delivery wrong but immediately sent out someone to fix it without me even asking and still let me keep the wrong order. A real local legend!”

“Had a few roasts in the old venue which were stunning Been few times at the old cock and Sundays roasts fab too - I do miss the lamb shanks on the menu but enjoy the other meats we had Have to say the cheesecakes are the best I’ve eaten absolutely gorgeous Would also like to comment the young girl running the floor ( maybe the chefs daughter ) so lovely with a gentle caring and kind approach that always tries to make your experience as positive as possible Only negative be the venue seems so cold :)”

“Lovely little pub on a nice spot next to the canal. Cosy inside but probably better outside on a sunny day.”

“First time here, as a family we booked a table, and had table service off David who was really lovely and helpful. We didnt have to wait long for the food, even though the pub was busy.The food was amazing and very flavoursome. Not long after we finished our food the staff cleared our table and asked for any desserts, which arrived very quickly. Will definitely be coming back in the future! Lovely staff!”

“Mainly a locals pub but welcoming they have a big function room think it's a small free for the cleaner..”

“Took my Rotweiler a few times, it's nice to go in a pub with a big dog and people don't look down on him. The staff give him treats and come and stroke him, always a filled water bowl. Great food & they do dog Sunday dinners which go down a treat for £2.50 & a lovely normal roast dinner too. The food menu has a lot of variety. Brilliant view of the canal from the carpark. We love it here”

“A recent addition to the 2025 Good Beer Guide. Not the greatest of choices of cask ale but what I had was on fine form.”

“Great Pub. Lovely outside area. Lovely food. The new menu is great. Friendly staff and great atmosphere.”

“We come here often the food is always great and the staff are always friendly and helpful.”

“Nice cafe with usual Tesco menu. Food excellently cooked and presented, and even the beans were hot (which in my experience of most cafes is unusual). Cheerful and efficient staff and good atmosphere. What was really good was that you ordered at the counter rather at the impersonal machines which is becoming the norm (and is the reason we tend to avoid several other Tesco Cafes).”

“Just went in for a BLT & a tea, was met with a super friendly staff. Amazing lil cafe with top notch food & service quality! Recommend every time”
