Holcombe Tap — Restaurant in Bury

Got told about this place by a friend and thought it sounded good so we booked for the other Sunday and my wife and I went over and it was fantastic, great place, a proper hidden gem, live music ( and she was brilliant sorry don’t know who she was ) food amazing and staff absolutely fantastic. We had a few dishes from Ribs, Wings, Duck, Garlic Prawns, Spring Rolls and they were all cooked to perfection, places like this are hard to find outside of big cities like Manchester but whomever has bought this place and made it into this great eatery needs a pat on the back. I’m a big believer in a good place to eat needs to be visited again to make sure that we didn’t just get a lucky meal so we have just returned for an early tea and again the food was outstanding, the waitress was really nice, very chatty and very efficient In taking order and getting drinks but also looked after us all meal, the food was even BETTER than the first time we went so I can only say if you get chance then go, we have told loads of people about this place and cannot wait to return with friends, we’ll done Holcombe Tap and the staff you have a brilliant place to come and...

I have one big problem with this place…. 1st of all the food is AMAZING, genuinly one of the best places I’ve eaten at, The atmosphere is lovely, it was very hot outside but inside was lovely and cool, the bar staff was very welcoming, ….

Half of my family doesn’t want to come back simply because of that, it makes people feel awful, people are struggling as it is, eating out is a big deal right now, it’s such a shame as everything...

First visit with a friend for a catch up. It was a Tuesday evening so limited restaurants open in Ramsbottom so I decided to try it here. I know a few people who have visited before and also checked reviews which were both great on Google and Facebook. Inside it's very much a traditional pub but nice and clean and a good amount of space. There is also parking to the side of it and street parking as well or on the road opposite. The service was great from the get go and the food, although small plates and a tad pricey were very good. We did stay a little past the time we were allowed for the table but they were very polite and fairly subtle about it. Overall we enjoyed our visit and would certainly...
