“Great service and very friendly staff with good food and drinks.”

“A great little bar with a good selection of changing beers on draught and an extensive selection of bottled beers which you can also drink in the bar with a small additional charge. There is some outside seating too. Well worth a visit if you are in Prestwich.”

“Great little wine shop and bar with inside and outside seating. Wide choice of wines and other drinks in the bar as well as cheese/charcuterie platters. Friendly, efficient and knowledgeable staff. Particularly recommend wine flight Wednesday: three small (70ml) glasses of wine for a reasonable price!”

“What a treat of a cafe to find in Ashton . Proper home made tater hash served with bread and butter was delicious! Lovely atmosphere and great staff !”

“Hi Maggie I've heard your closing down that's such a shame as it's such a great pub. I was told its being turned into flats we don't need any more HMO's”

“Rosie and Connal you are outstanding. Nothing is too much. I cannot recommend majestic wines more purely because of their knowledge and customer service. 10/10 absolute credit to the company and a truly wonderful customer service thank you”

“Phenomenal!!! So pleased we passed by this pub on the way home, the service was amazing and the food was delicious, home cooked and generous! Great veggie and vegan choices and sooo many gluten free options, most of the dishes looked like they could be done GF. Veggie burger and roast beef sandwiches both 10/10. We felt so comfortable and looked after, thank you Mike for being so passionate about the menu and chatting to us, as well as for my birthday dessert! We will definitely be back ☺️”

“We went here as a spontaneous night out. The music is ace! It’s nice to see some 80s and 90s music still being played rather than just up-to-date hip-hop. Me and my friends all had a great laugh and a good dance, the bar staff are very attentive And friendly. Would definitely recommend !”

“I visited Costa Gatley Sunday afternoon — a clean, well-maintained store with a cosy atmosphere and a good selection of food options. However, what stood out during my visit was an interaction at the till that left me quite surprised, and not in a good way. When I ordered a medium hot drink, the young girl serving me actively discouraged the choice. She suggested I go for a smaller size, saying: “There’s not much difference in size — go for the small and save some pennies.” As someone who has run a business for over a decade, I found this quite concerning. In most places, staff are trained to upsell — encouraging customers to consider larger sizes or additional items, which is standard practice in retail and hospitality. Her approach, while possibly well-intentioned, directly goes against basic principles of sales and revenue generation. Encouraging customers to spend less, especially unprompted, may seem kind, but it’s ultimately damaging to the business. In my view, this isn’t just unprofessional — it’s a risk to the long-term health of the store. Costa may want to consider reviewing training procedures to ensure staff understand the balance between customer service and commercial awareness. Thank you”

“Brilliant family pub .. a rugby and football pub nice and friendly bar staff Dj On fri and sat and bank holiday sundays piol table to back area to sit in and also tables n chairs at front of pub”

“Went in for a coffee which was very nice also had a bit of cake which was good the shop was quite and plenty of seats to sit down”

“Had our wedding reception here lovely staff, good food and great atmosphere. Would go back”

“You can buy things here that you can't find in other places Like safety pins and TV Ariel sockets as well fresh salad products”

“I met a friend for a catch up and sat on the couches to the left of reception near the stairs to the gym. It was quiet enough for us to speak and even when a small group of adults sat on the couch behind us, we could speak without raising our voices. It was very comfortable and we were able to get coffee's from the onsite Starbucks and bring them over to our seating. Very friendly staff, suitable for our meeting and pleasant environment.”

“Absolutely one of the best Costas , the staff and management are brilliant, friendly and always uplifting even on a bad day, I’m in here most days for the warmth atmosphere”

“Great pub. We was here as an away fan before a football match and very welcoming and friendly.”

“First visit to this particular bargain booze and it was well worth it thanks to Mandy! She was so friendly and a great asset to the company. Her honestly and cheery disposition was refreshing to see and she was generous with her knowledge about the products. Thanks Mandy!”

“The Carousel has recently had a makeover and I attended their VIP opening evening. There was a buzzing atmosphere, friendly staff and taster bites of the menu going around the room. The renovated space is lovely and is a perfect choice for a casual drink or bite to eat!”

“Great place, lots of different areas to sit, lovely food at a great price, great outdoor seating at the back, very friendly welcoming staff. Went there for a drink in the weekend and it was packed. Really appreciate the service as it was way faster than I was thinking. We will have to pay as you buy which is a great way as we don't want to worry about the bills and tips. Food is amazing I ordered a cooked chicken which as very juicer and well cooked and tasty. We have ordered a couple of drinks which was in a reasonable price. Loved the place and atmosphere definitely suggested to everyone want to have a good time. Only problem I think was with the parking, they don't have any parking as we have to find places in the nearby streets, which isn't so nice, but it's ok as it sits on the main road.”

“Great prices and great hours. Even the bottle of water is quite cheap. The owner is nice.”

“Good customer service very friendly staff Recommended off license”

“We came to this branch of costa on Saturday 25th October 2025 ,my son was doing a challenge to run 103km in memory of his friend who died of MND ,we highlighted this area as a rest stop, I felt we needed to praise your staff as they allowed his sports physio to set up her table to work on the team as it was cold and breezy outside, that bit of warmth as well as coffee was very much appreciated Thank you costa staff”
