Nutters Restaurant

Wayne says..“ I agree that the dishes can be a bit crowded but I still adore Andrew Nutter's food. The venue is a bit cavernous too but it does add a lot to North Manchester - a touch of occasion and glamour to Rochdale. I go about four times a year and always enjoy it.”

Rod says..“ Went to Nutters once. The food was terrible. Overpriced and tasted pretty much like works canteen food. We all got Yorkshire puds that tasted like and felt like cardboard. Terrible place that is 80s style over substance. ”

garry coverdale says..“ We prefered the old Nutters which had a better atmosphere and a more personal service.on our last trip there we didnt like the experiance and wrote a letter to Andrew which he chose not to respond to.Will not be going back again GAC”

Anonymous says..“ I have been to Nutters on numerous occasions and I have never left dissatisfied. The service was always excellent and the food was too. Try the gourmet set menu where you get various dishes and are able to experience the brilliance of Nutters great food.”

Emma says..“ Does anyone remember The Manor on this site? They used to make faces out of sweets on your ice cream. Brilliant!”

Shorty says..“ Emma- The Manor is my brightest childhood memory- we LOVED it!!!I've not been to Nutters yet- but only ever heard good things.”

Rod says..“ Take my advice Shorty and don't bother. There's a few people Rochdale way now gving Nutters a very wide berth. Restaurants in terms quality and service and have moved on thank god since the eighties. Nutters is stuck in an eighties timewarp - mullet still firmly clinging to its head. Think restaurant version of Peter Stringfellow and weep. ”

Rob Walton says..“ I first went to Nutters when it was in the previus building, and it was fantastic. I think a move the a larger space changed the vibe somewhat and cartainly the level of service in the early days. Been since though and although I can kind of understand the timewarp comment above, the food spoke for itself (loud and clear).”

Anonymous says..“ People in Rochdale probably couldnt afford to eat there if they sold thier house. even then, i doubt anyone living there has the brain capacity to find Nutters on the map. hence wide berth Roddyboy!”

anon2 says..“ no need to be nasty anonymous.... you are demonstrating a clear lack of class with that comment. ”

anon2 says..“ ... and you might want to learn how to spell, use capital letters and apostrophes correctly... and you had the cheek to comment about brains, please. ”

Rod says..“ I think you need to have a lie down Anonymous. Before you start frothing at the mouth. I'm beginning to think you're a bit of a nutter yourself. As for Nutters (the restaurant) avoid like the plague unless you like lacklustre fod seved with a grimace. ”

Charles says..“ You daft, daft anonymous. I'm from Rochdale and loads of Rochdalians can afford Nutters, clearly you don't know the town, there is a lot of money in Bamford, Norden, Healey and elsewhere. I like Nutters and always choose to take guests there when I have them staying. The food is usually innovative, always interesting and as the writer says the wine is gorgeous.”

Paul says..“ With Mr Nutter its all about cash we went to on of his over priced birthday parties the menu said champagne the bottles said cava on another occasion my fillet steak was stringy that was it they all ignored me from then on I don’t think he takes criticism very well so ill spend my pink pounds elswere”

George says..“ Nutters is excellent. Well done to the family”

Anonymous says..“ yeah didnt really rate nutters we went and had the taster menu also went to a wedding reception there which i imageine cost a bit but the food and service was a shambles”

Say NO to Nutters says..“ We USED to go to Nutters, but not anymore, the reason………… We were in another restaurant a couple of years ago and got speaking to a lovely elderly couple, they were in their eighties and just about the nicest couple you could ever wish to meet. They told us about their experience at Nutters. They had not even had a chance to take their coats off when a member of Nutters staff came over and said words to the effect of this place won’t be for you and ushered them out of the door! Well, if they aren’t good enough then neither are we. Ourselves (and others I have told this to) have never been back since. Shame on you Nutter.”

Alan says..“ We had afternoon tea at Nutters last year to cheer ourselves up after an appalling lunch at Owd Betts. It was straight out of Miss Marple, with finger sandwiches and little cakes. Not the cheapest food, but very nice. Hopefully one day I'll be able to save up enough to eat dinner there, because us Rochdalians clearly shouldn't be able to afford it...”

A. Schweizer says..“ I think this review gets it about right. Nutters is good and Andrew Nutter is capable of greatness, but there's room for improvement. The place does feel odd - like a Brewer's Fayre with silver service. In my experience the food is always satisfying, often delightful, but rarely sublime. However, I feel for a chef who has to cater for people (and restaurant critics) who select their wine before - and without consideration of - what they are going to eat. ”

Jo says..“ Excellent restaurant lovely service I wish we had more places like this - ok the building's too big”

Deborah says..“ the food and the place staff ect was excellant people who slag this place off are mental and classless”

Meddy538 says..“ We eat there often and still love it. The move from the old place was a mistake-it's lost it's intimacy.The food tho' is still fab & the Gourmet Meal (£35 per head for 6 courses) is great value.You'd pay more than that for 2 courses in Manchester.The Sunday lunch is also great value. It's also in a lovely setting-great in the summer. I'm happy to spend my pink pound there!”

hey says..“ I think i might just have to try it for myself!”

Anonymous says..“ Calm down Debs it only an opinion.”

debbie F says..“ Dear annonymous, I might be offended by your comment but coming from someone who cannot even spell their, or understands how to use punctuation i don't think you are worth the trouble. Guess you are not a brain surgeon.”

JIM & NADE says..“ We went to Nutters to celebrate a birthday, the four of us really enjoyed the whole experience, the food was fantastic, especially the scallops starter!! If I was to change anything it would be the ambience of the place, just seemed a little too 'posh', to the point where we didn't want to take a picture in the main eating area incase we offended someone, overall though we loved it.”

Paul says..“ Debbie F sorry to butt in but only one n in anonymous.”

Jack Foley says..“ No, Paul, there are 2 n's in anonymous. You meant to tell Debbie that there aren't 3.”

Paul says..“ Good point.”

Anonymous says..“ Visited this superb restaurant twice, once for Sunday lunch which was gorgeous, wonderful food and perfect service at a reasonable price - compare city centre restaurants cooking to similar standard and see what you pay... second time to enjoy a Nutters masterclass, mini bacon butties and coffee, cookery demo followed by a 3 course meal cooked by the man himself. We had an absolutely wonderful time, as it appeared so did everyone else present, and our only niggle is that it's so far from Stockport. I can't believe some of the over the top criticisms of this great restaurant. If you haven't visited then don't be put off, it's definitely worth a visit. ”

food muncher says..“ nutters st georges feast totally amazing . the food and service as always first class . but the atmosphere was totally electric . everyone standing and singing to land of hope and glory . jerusalem and rule brittania . it made you proud to be english . well done to the nutters . just heard they won manchester restaurant of the year . well deserved !.”

Paul says..“ So your the one thats munching his todge”

Clare says..“ My mum had her wedding reception here (being from Rochdale, she must have been saving for years...), and it was fantastic. They do a tasting menu, which is impressive, and I think, cheap for what you get. The only thing I would say is the ambience of the place is often very quiet and cold. ”
