"We..booked a table..arrived on time ..was seated.. looked at the very sticky menus...(There where notices everywhere informing us the place was closing 7th May ..for a Refurb. We tried to order on the QR code stuck to the end of the table...and it came up with the lockeepers page then asked for you to pay £3 to varyfy the payment i had all ready put in my bank details to pay...then it took us to another page and we couldn't go any further... on asking the landlord..he said that wasn't the right page he didn't know how it had happened. not even looking at the QR Code on the table... We ordered food at the bar 2 chicken sizzlers and a fish and chips. food arrived hot ..and very minimalist compared to the pictures...when asking a member of staff they said that's the normal portion..I had two small pieces of sprouting broccoli not even half a pepper and a quarter of a onion...bothe portions where the same..with a piece of chicken out of a multi bag from farm foods ..very dry and crispy around the edges...the chips with the fish chips had been double dipped in the fryer for the colour on them.. all together..never coming back..and won't enter one of these pubs again. Oh and the QR code is a company advertising there gaming company charge you £3 and the £27.99 every fortnight if you don't cancel it withing the first 24 hours..thankfully we started looking into it as soon as we got home..because we didn't want to be robbed again for the second time in the same night..."

"The first time I came here a gentleman who worked there made us a full English breakfast it was hands down the best breakfast in Bury. Another time I went in with a friend for milkshakes again delicious and simply amazing. So I went back a few times for lunch. I once bought a jacket potato and tuna the potato wasn't great but edible. Another time I had a chicken wrap was quite nice. Another time I had a sandwich but didn't like the bread I didn't complain but I did leave it. That time I had gone in with my 7 year old nephew and it took so long for his scrambled eggs on toast to come his food came last it was ok he had some of my mum's food to keep him going (not so good for my mum! . The last time I went in I ordered a chicken club sandwich. The ladies were lovely and all was fine until I got my food. I could see the wet lettuce was all shriveled in what I assumed was mayo making the bread overly moist but I was so hungry I thought I'll give it a go. I took a bite but I had to spit it out as it tasted vile. I think it was the chicken but I'm not sure. I asked who I was with to smell it for me, and my Mum said don't eat it as it smells off. It indeed did smell. I politely let the waitress know and she took my food away. After 5 ish mins she came back and gave me money for the meal with a simple here's your money back for your food and off she went. I found her quite rude and abrupt and the manager owner did not come over. My mum did say she heard her say that she's never had a complaint about her food so I guess I was treated that way because she felt that I was wrong. Fair enough, I won't come back but I would have if the situation had been dealt with differently. I would never complain about food unless it was necessary. If an owner manager of a food establishment couldn't see that the food should no way have been served due to the smell and even the look of it then it's best that I stay way clear you would hope people would care for the health of their customers but..."
