"The place is great,food and service fantastic,just one complaint,my friend has an illness where she can’t drink alcohol we enquired did the have non alcoholic drinks (wine,lager etc) they said no so we asked could she bring her own to which they said yes and they would charge £10 corkage,to say we were taken aback at this price is putting it mildly,a small price would be acceptable but this was ridiculous actually more than the wine cost. It was such a shame as we can’t fault this lovely restaurant in any other way ,the ambiance,food staff is faultless ."

La Mancha

Menu • Tapas • Vegan • Spanish • Vegetarian

"I was in the area with a friend and we were looking for a place to get for a quick lunch. We found La Mancha and, initially, we were the only ones in there, but decided to give it a try anyway. Once inside, you'll be welcomed by a quaint atmosphere, with a colorful and eye-catching décor. It does remind me of my own Latin roots. From the table we were seating, everything felt like a authentic Spanish location. Even the street outside gets feels like completely different place, than the busy city beyond the buildings that surround it. There was Spanish music playing in the background which was at the ideal volume, loud enough to cover any background or street noise but quiet enough that it doesn't distract or covers your own conversation. Anyway, we have ordered a couple of dishes each and I must say, we weren't disappointed. Everything was fresh and tasty and completely on par with the look and feel of the restaurant. Prices were quite good and we were satisfied with the overall experience. On the downside, this restaurant might be a bit tricky to find as it's on a narrow side street, but it's definitely worth it and I highly recommend it."

The Waterside

➤ 1 Inghams Lane, OL15 0AY, Rochdale, United Kingdom

Menu • Full • Steak • Seafood • Steakhouse

"The Waterside is a luxurious, warm, friendly restaurant. It is perfect for many occasions, from a romantic meal for two, to a family gathering or celebration. The venue has a number of high-backed booths that provide a sense of luxury, as well as a degree of privacy. There is an extremely well stocked bar that has a wide range of quality beers, wines spirits. During warmer months there is the opportunity to dine al fresco with a number of outdoor tables set in a lovely garden with excellent views. However, perhaps one of the best areas to dine is in The Waterside 's 'Cabin '. This is a wooden building that brings cosy to a whole new level. With a feeling of a Swiss chalet, it has it 's own bar, heating, Bluetooth sound system, enabling you to choose your own music, and provides the opportunity to host private parties, works dos, family gatherings or, in my instance, surprise 50th birthday celebrations! The food we had was delicious and the service was exceptional. The waitresses who looked after us worked their socks off and no one was waiting for drinks. They were attentative but in no way intrusive and helped build a great atmosphere. With great food, drinks, service and venue, I can 't recommend the Waterside enough. They fully deserve the #1 spot on Trip Advisor for restaurants in Littleborough."

Suburb Cafe

➤ 569 Bury Road, OL11 4DQ, Rochdale, United Kingdom

Menu • Cafés • Kebab • Coffee • Mexican

"I have been a patron of Suburb for many years, since its opening, and I have always had positive experiences. However, my recent visit was extremely disappointing. We had made a reservation for 5 people, but only three of us had arrived on time. Within ten minutes, the waitress/owner rudely informed us that we needed to order our food immediately because our table was needed. We were not informed about any time restrictions when making the reservation, and the service felt rushed and disorganized. It seemed as though they had overbooked. We felt pressured by the manageress and waitresses to hurry up and order. Additionally, they made mistakes with a vegan order and forgot to bring water. When we asked for the water, the manageress responded with a disrespectful facial expression. Overall, the atmosphere was disappointing."
