The Hungry Duck - Bury

Many thanks that today we are in the urrestaurant nov it was very pleasant, eating was fantastic staff very pleasant and service was very good, so here is next time barbara tunstall

I wasn't sure if I was to write this review, but I must be completely honest. we used to visit (pre covid) here for the Sunday menu and we have always assumed that it was not only an excellent value for money, but also decent portion sizes. we decided to book here a special birthday meal for three people on Saturday night. Of course, we expected the a la carte menu to be more expensive, but I did not expect that the size of the portion to be affected. the food was beautiful from beginning to end. only beautiful, wasn't worn by him. my only grip is the tiny portion size compared to the money they charge, and then on a service fee above (not something they expect in ramsbottom). the drinks are also more expensive than some restaurants in the inner city that I don't want to pay for a meal (which is with the super careful with the drink spirit), but I came away feeling a little torn off. sad, portion sizes alone have ever returned me, even for the sunday menu

I ordered the locally sourced wood pigeon with black pudding and beetroot, which was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. The red wine sauce and rhubarb coulis complemented the dish well. My dining companion, Sue, opted for the mushroom risotto, which was rich and creamy with a hint of salt. For the main course, I had the mackerel with spinach-mash potatoes and tenderstem broccoli, topped with goat cheese. The dish was light yet flavorful. Sue went for the baked Camembert and Cheshire cheesecake, which she thoroughly enjoyed. We were tempted by the tempting selection of desserts, but we were too full to indulge. Perhaps we'll save some room for dessert on our next visit.

Today was my first visit to this restaurant for my mother's birthday, and I cannot praise it enough. As a vegetarian, I often struggle to find something appealing on the menu, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that this restaurant exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend it and will likely visit again. The staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere was great in the newly renovated space.

Absolutely fantastic! Joe made us feel like we were all equal in the restaurant. He was truly amazing! The steak was cooked perfectly, no seasoning needed. The atmosphere was relaxed, the food was delicious, and the service was exceptional. Thank you.
