"I booked a table mid week for 3 last minute. I requested one suitable for a disabled relative and they happily accommodated us. My Aunty struggles to walk and has use of a stick/walker. The entry ramp is a little steep for a disabled guest but there is no steps to enter. We had to be dropped off on double yellows as it’s a main road and she struggles to walk the distance away we had to park. This did not seem to be a problem. The food we ate was delicious. We had a large cheese and meat platter and a blue cheese platter. We had a selection of the local cheeses as my aunt was over from New Zealand. They also have my favourite orange Whitley Neill Gin. It was lovely for a different kind lunch. Great selection of cheeses and very enjoyable. Nice atmosphere for having a lunch and a chat. However, i also then visited on an weekend evening. On this occasion I found it a bit over crowded and less enjoyable due to a lack of seats. It was too busy and noisy for such a small venue. The toilets are also unisex and only 2 cubical. Less of a problem in the day. But very unpleasant in the evening. They stank and you could smell it every time the door was left open. I’m not a fan of unisex toilets and when the venue is as busy as it was it ended up with queues and a man hounding us in the toilets. I found the 2 experience very different. I would 100% recommend the venue for lunch. We also took home 2 blocks of cheese which were really tasty and authentic. The cheese wasn’t cheap but that’s what you would expect for the level of quality. I’m awarding 4 as the lunch visit alone would have been a 5 but it was let down by the overcrowded unpleasant evening. I would give the evening a second chance and hopefully find it to be better as the drinks, food and service were great on both occasions."

This small bar offers expertly crafted cocktails and delicious-looking food. I plan to return to try their menu. I visited in the early evening and anticipate it will become busier later on.

Spent the evening at The Mousetrap, the staff in particular Troy was super attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Customer service is excellent, delightful young man who makes the place very special and welcoming to all.

I popped in today for a late lunch. I had a quick look at the menu but decided to opt for the make my own platter, advised by the lovely owner after I described the kinds of cheese I love. A really delicious selection and a wide variety to choose from so I’m sure something for everyone there. The coffee is great too!! Visualizza piatti

I recently visited a friendly and laid-back restaurant that is perfect for dining with a vegetarian husband and friends. The platters were fabulous, particularly the Homity Pie which was the best I've ever had. The cheeses were also delicious. The portions were very generous and there was a huge variety on the platters. I was very impressed and will definitely be returning in the future.

Went as a group of four for an afternoon treat. Good atmosphere and service. We had A Platter of cheese and meats to share with a bottle of wine. Loved the cheeses and accompaniments but the meats were bog standard ham, turkey and beef which didn’t really compliment the cheeses so a bit disappointed. But the rest really made up for this so didn’t say anything. The price was very reasonable £15 each) Will certainly go back!!

My friends and I enjoyed a leisurely lunch at this restaurant, where we caught up over a delicious selection of cheese, olives, spicy chorizo, and pate. The platters were beautifully presented, and the staff was friendly and attentive. However, in light of current circumstances, I would feel more comfortable if the staff wore face masks while preparing the food. It's not clear if this is mandatory, but it would add an extra level of reassurance for me. Visualizza piatti

Called in on Sunday afternoon for a drink. Didnt eat on this occasion but have in the past and the cheese boards are out of this world. Staff at the Mousetrap have always been lovely but on this occasion the young man serving us (troy) was an absolute delight. What an asset to the business. So friendly and attentive. We ended up staying much longer than we had intended. The live music was also very good and created a really nice atmosphere. Would highly recommend calling in on Sundays, great food, great service and great atmosphere.

If you like nice wines, nice cheeses, great atmosphere and relaxed service this is the place for you. Me and my partner booked in advance after reading it was a busy place and we were glad we did. Your table is allocated for 2hrs which is more than enough time to sample the great wines, meats and cheeses. We had the meat and cheese sharing platter and it was a beautiful array for two personally selected cheeses, Italian meats,crackers, breads, pate, olives, chutney and sundries tomatoes which was washed down with a lovely selected red. We also tried a cocktail each which again was lovely. I will definitely return in the future!

"Well, it 's been a while since I 've reviewed a place but this little gem has certainly reawakened my vigour for it. Visited this evening as a kind of belated birthday celebration with my husband and son and very glad we did indeed. We happened upon this place a few weeks back (passing by and grabbing a cocktail after the days plans fell through and instantly took to the place and it 's wonderful staff and from the off had intentions to visit again an so finally did tonight), within seconds of seating ourself at the bar we were remembered by the owners, which to me shows great calibre on the customer service front. As someone with an exceptionally sweet tooth when it comes to alcohol it was our lucky day to find they had cocktails on 2for£10 and hell can the owner Jo mix like a minx (even doing us an off menu blend to account for tastes). The husband not being a big drinker happily sat at the bar chatting with staff and customers nursing his Peroni whilst me and my son dived headlong into the extensive classical and modern mixed cocktail list. Having been lured into great expectations (previously sampling delicious tasters) from Jo 's lovely husband Dave on our first brief visit we were definitely eagerly placed to dive into dinner tonight. Our lovely waitress Sian, stood patiently while we chopped and changed idea 's and orders, laughed with us, checked regularly everything was to our tastes as did the other young waitress that dropped drinks over to us. Both girls portraying the perfect mix of friendly and professional, a refreshing change to be served by people that clearly enjoy their working environment. And on to the food... we started with olives (and boy was it a substantial portion in comparison with some establishments weak efforts), hubby was first in there, impressed with the quality of marinade (too many places these days forget the little efforts like this thinking folk can 't differentiate something tipped out of a supermarket packet). After much debate (I had my eye on far too many dishes) choices were made, Hubby had the Filo Kefta, which had a light pastry, adequate spice and smoothly complimentary dip, for main he went with the day 's Special of Lamb with fondant potato, heritage carrots and a divinely velvety Jus which he thoroughly enjoyed (and he 's hard to please, being well versed himself and making a point of getting the lovely Chef Darren a glass of wine in appreciation). The lad had a Sirloin steak burger cooked medium rare and is now demanding we visit again soon. lol I went with the Gravlax to start, instantly aware of the clean flavour from its curing cutting through (I even brought a titbit home for my kitty to enjoy), as for main, I 'd initially had my mind on fish but upon discovering the owner Jo was also a blue steak lover I had to try one there and wow they really take care in choosing their suppliers because that was an A grade cut of meat, even my son (who prefers medium-rare) upon trying a slice said it was an exceptional piece of meat I had it with asparagus, no sauce and swapped out the chips for a feta/pepper bowl which worked perfectly as did the glass of Shiraz that Jo picked out to compliment it for me. Genuinely I can not pick fault (read through my other reviews I write honestly, pick fault where warranted and compliment where due). Had this lovely little find been in our usual local it would surely become a regular haunt ours for sure. I would 100% recommend this place and extend our gratitude to all the staff for making our entire visit memorable and perfect."

"We were in Bury for a few days visiting family and the weather was beautiful , we live on the Wirral and frequently visit Brasco lounge in Liverpool of the same chain , which we love. We actually visited Racconto lounge 3 times on our visit , first time we had a brunch of bacon and egg muffin , which we really enjoyed (although the bacon was very salty) The next day we came back and had a lounge breakfast , and the following day we brought my husbands mum , and drank cups of tea while resting from shopping . We enjoyed all the meals , and its lovely inside , although we ate on the terrace in the sunshine and we found all the staff very pleasant and friendly . But..... we had 2 things let it down for us . Firstly on each occasion , the service was extremely slow, when we had breakfast , it wasn't very busy , but we waited ages , although our tea was brought out well before the food , meaning we then had no drinks to go with the food . The second problem was , after waiting ages , we had to send the breakfast back as it was really cold , and it seemed like it had been sat waiting , almost as long as we had , the bacon on both the breakfast muffin and the breakfast was really , really salty also. None of this would put us off , as we enjoyed the dining experience overall , but if you are in a rush , i really wouldn't recommend eating here , as the wait was alot longer than expected every time ."
