Best Gastro Pubs in Heywood

Excellent as always, food great, t bone for me and mrs had roast beef super👍😃

We come to Bowdon from London every few months and we make a trip to The Stamford every time we’re there for a family lunch / dinner. The food is exceptional, really very good and super fresh (especially the roast). The staff are always very friendly, nothing is too much trouble and the regulars are friendly and welcoming.

After being greeted with a warm smile we were shown to our table. Shortly afterwards our drinks order was taken. Our waitress returned to take our food order, then our drinks were delivered. Our starters were all delicious. Our four beef roasts were outstanding. Tea & coffee to finish. All in all yet another wonderful dining experience. Great staff, great service and great food, what more could you ask for…

The food is lovely but the price can be a little on the high side - £14 or so for three crispy mussels and a bit of stonebass seemed a bit over the top for a starter but it was very, very good and we were looking for something a bit special. On the whole, it was a very, very positive experience. It was a return visit, and we will go back.

We’ve been here a few times now. The food is amazing. The Sunday roast is the best! We went on a week night this time and enjoyed the sea food chowder with a side of chips. We had shared starters and a dessert! Loved it all. The staff are fabulous; attentive and friendly. The building is cute and cosy. Fairy lights and candles. Would throughly recommend, but you need to book well in advance! It’s popular. Rightly so.
