The Goods In — Restaurant in Bury

I really am not one to complain as I work with the public myself but If I could give minus stars I would. Service is absolutely shocking by unenthusiastic kids who can barely look you in the eye. All staff congregate by the bar and takes 10 mins to try and get attention to the point you have to go and fetch someone- wouldn’t mind if they were busy there was 5 tables to wait on. Drinks are overpriced and the food is diabolical, we ordered drinks for the table, asked for a glass of rose and lemonade but got rose wine with lemon juice. When I went back to the bar to ask for lemonade I received a thimble of the dregs of flat lemonade out of a Schweppes bottle. The full English consisted of one slice of bacon, one sausage, half a tomato, 3 slithers of crispy potato on a slice of un toasted soda bread and an egg that looked like it had been thrown on the floor. They charge £12.50 for the ‘breakfast’. Egg and avocado on toast came with 2 slices of avo and one egg when we asked for a poached egg the girl said ‘sorry we don’t have any of them’ had to request more avo for the avocado and toast and it got slammed and slid across the table. The 3 portions of chips we ordered had to cancel them as we had finished eating and couldn’t wait to leave. When we asked for the bill and they came for payment and explained that the service and food was shambolic the girl didn’t seem phased atall. Will never be returning and will not ever recommend. After reading the reviews it seems like they don’t read them because a lot of people mention the service...

All Hallow's Eve, Storm Aiden, an early trip out (skipping breakfast), other choices full or not yet open so curiosity led us brunchwards to Heaton Park to try the latest from the team at All The Shapes. Of the three doors, we found the right one on the third attempt after having to leave the car at Park Street car park and getting doused with Manchester liquid sunshine. Scan for Test and Trace. ✔️ Masks for staff and punters. ✔️ Sanitiser at the door. ✔️ Tables well spaced. ✔️ The brunch menu caters for cocktails, coffees, carbs, carnivores and cakes. The decor and seating is upcycled industrial warehouse, whilst comfortable struggles to heat the space on a cold, wet October. The clientele is a good mix of young families, couples and seniors. All enjoying being part of the "up and coming Prestwich village" food scene. Avos, chorizo, compotes, 'shrooms, veggie burgers and a full(ish) English don't quite hit the spot so we go to the foot of the menu and order bacon and sour dough from the sides and I opt for a poached egg on top. We got what we ordered, so can't complain. I had three shards of crispy streaky and my daughter had four. Rude. Yes, I'll be back but even without lockdown, I'll probably leave it until next year when the...

I am ordinarily horrified by the thought of writing a negative review of a local independent business. However I feel compelled to leave this after a series of unhappy experiences. The latest came just a couple of days ago. I’m coeliac or gluten free - it’s an allergy. I opted for the gluten-free option on the menu, which I have eaten on previous visits. I was then told despite it being advertised as GF, it wasn’t GF after all. To add to this experience - when I recently realised a beer advertised as GF beer wasn’t GF, I was told by the owner, ‘I looked it up online and it has minimal levels of gluten’. IT’S AN ALLERGY. What on earth is happening here? In the context of the food industry supposed to be taking food allergies more seriously. They have delivered food advertised as Gluten Free - which isn’t Gluten free. This is not the first or second time this has happened. It’s multiple times, and because of that it’s not safe to dine there. I do have to say the food is lovely and it’s a good vibe but this really...
