Reviews in Rochdale

My husband and I went for lunch yesterday - one of numerous visits we've made over many years. As always, it was a real treat. The food was delicious (presentation is second to none) and the service attentive and efficient but not intrusive. Table settings are beautifully arranged with crisp linen and sparkling crockery/glassware. The building itself is very impressive as you ride up the sweeping driveway and doesn't disappoint when you enter the large, imposing building. My only negative comment (and it's only my personal opinion) would be that the atmosphere was more intimate in Nutter's old premises which were further up Edenfield Road but, with quality like this, it was inevitable that Andrew Nutter would have to move to bigger premises to keep up with demand. You're missing a wonderful, gastronomic experience if you don't venture to Nutter's Restaurant.

We met friends here for Sunday carvery lunch, one of whom is vegetarian. The carvery meat was beautifully cooked, the yorkshire puddings were nice and crispy and there was a good selection of fresh vegetables and a selection of three types of potato - roast, new and mash. There was no vegetarian option for the carvery but the range of vegetables and potato made for a delicious plate of food. The price of the carvery includes a dessert - one of five sweet options. I had a jam pudding, my partner ice-cream with chocolate sauce and my friends chocolate cake. We all had an enjoyable meal and the staff were really friendly. We will certainly be going back.

best ive ever had superb .cooked how it should be ill be going back again a taste off yesteryear very friendly too.enjoy.

I have had quite a few meals at Nutters, but I went recently and recommended it to some friends and colleagues. Somebody said to me, "Are you sure it is still as good as your first visit"? and I had no hesitation in saying I am absolutely confident it will be. After our meal everybody (party of 8) said how they had never had such a good all round experience, food, atmosphere, service etc. I strongly recommend Nutters restaurant.

Really enjoyed my meal here - the staff are very professional but very formal. Food standard is fab, almost equal to the Peacock Room in Bamford but Nutters wine list is better

My boyfriend and I have just returned from Nutters restaurant and have an amazing time. It is the second time we have been, and we will certainly be going back again. We arrived and were seated in the bar area for canapes and drinks whilst we browsed the menu. The service was very efficient and the staff were friendly. The presentation of the food was fantastic and tasted like heaven. We didn't want to leave, and are already looking forward to going back again. I strongly recommend that people visit this restaurant. It truly is an outstanding experience!!

My husband and i have been loving all that the Bellavista has to offer for the past 14 years, the food is wonderful the service is first class, nothing is too much trouble and the surrounding area is beautiful, especially sat on the terrace after a meal in summer with a large glass of wine enjoying the panoramic views .

best pizza i ever had. service in pizzeria is excellent. its always very busy and then you know that food is fresh.

Don't be fooled by the outside appearance or location of this place, as it is one of the best restaurants I have ever been too!! All food is obviously cooked fresh and locally sourced. Must try the home made breads!!!

I thought that the Copper Pot was overrated until i went with my son. It was excellent and this restaurant just gets better and better every time i go I LOVE IT.

Brilliant. Soup and sandwich offer especially good. Everything tastes fresh and home made and if you don't have waistline problems the rag pudding is superb.

A friendly pub atmosphere with excellent service. The food was prompt, hot and totally delicious. We recommend the home made chunky chips and the Cheesy Garlic bread. We have booked 13 seats for an Xmas lunch and expect to thoroughly enjoy ourselves.

superb food, excellent service and always a welcoming atmosphere, we have yet to find another restaurant in rochdale that can beat the Madison, staff are always ready to offer suggestions and assist with menu selection. definitely our number one choice.

I've been to the Albion frequently over the last few months and can highly recommend the excellent food, great atmosphere and friendly service to everyone. Great menu - slow braised lamb shank is devine and it's nice to have the 'bar or bistro' option.

Made to feel very welcome even though we turned up on the last minute on a Tuesday night! Lovely food- interesting menu, obviously fresh food and family run. Really enjoyed ourselves and certainly will be going back!

Me and my boyfriend ate in the Harrows recently. We both had steak, and it was the nicest steak we have had in a long time. We will certainly be back to try the carvery one Sunday.

My husband's parents took us to Nutters last week for Sunday lunch and I feel compelled to recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone!! My husband and I eat out a lot and have been disappointed in restaurants on many occasions - this was NOT one of them! I can honestly say that I could not fault the food in any way, we chose from the set lunch menu, there were 4 choices of starter, main and pudding and we all ate something different, everything was beautifully presented and delicious and for only £22 per person it included coffee and petit fours and represented outstanding value for money. On the downside, the service was not great, the staff were not particularly friendly and although they were efficient there was a lack of continuity - we had around 7 different members of staff waiting on us over the course of our meal. My only other grumble would be the appearance, although the setting of the restaurant is lovely, being a large house set in it's own grounds with a sweeping driveway and well kept gardens, the interior decor is quite old fashioned and would benefit from a refurbishment. A nice touch are the wines and jewellery for sale in the entrance and the complimentary petit fours with the coffees. We have booked to return to this restaurant for our second wedding anniversary in October - I love it!

Don't complain, or you will be thrown out. We went to the restaurant on Wednesday 6th August after reading positive reviews on sugarvine.com. We arrived to a sign saying "Chef Andrew Nutter". We ordered the 6 course gourmet menu at £36 per head. The first dish was a rather bland cauliflower soup with bacon bits. This was followed by two dishes of fish with rice, the first warm haddock and cold rice and the second an over complicated salmon with tomato risotto. Neither dish was nice and the size of portions between dishes varied greatly. After approximately 30 mintues, the 4th dish of steak of a potato rosti and red cabbage was served. Mine was rare, whereas my partners was well done. Dont know about the rest, as we complained about the food - in a polite manner and were thrown out by Mr Rodney Nutter in an aggressive manner after paying the bill. If you are thinking about going to this restaurant, think twice. Apparently the main menu is much better - don' order the gourmet menu under any circumstances. The peacock room at the crimble restaurant around the corner is far superior.
