About Waterfold Farm - Farmhouse Inns
On Waterfold Park in Bury, Waterfold Farm - Farmhouse Inns is a pub and restaurant built around a traditional menu and a carvery station where staff serve the food directly. Tables are cleared and cleaned by staff throughout service, and high chairs come over on request. The Marz Attack Cake sits on the menu among the desserts. At the bar, water comes with ice and lemon, and staff will offer a mystery drink alongside a beer and cider selection that runs mostly to lager and cider rather than ale. Children's play areas support the family-friendly setup. The pub sits a short walk from a Village Hotel nearby.

Customer Review Summary
The carvery is the clear draw here, with reviewers repeatedly praising it as fresh, good value, and reliably enjoyable, alongside standout mentions like the Marz attack Cake and a recommended "mystery drink" from the bar. What comes through just as strongly is the staff: table servers and carvery attendants are singled out by name again and again for going out of their way, clearing tables, fetching high chairs, and adding small touches like ice and lemon in water, turning ordinary visits into memorable ones. The atmosphere is described as calm on quieter visits but busy and noisy on Sunday afternoons, with one reviewer noting a long wait before being seated. The one recurring gripe is the drinks selection, with a reviewer noting a poor choice of ale or beer despite plenty of lager and cider. Diners describe leaving full, having gotten more food than expected for the price.

“The lady who collected our plates was doing a very efficient job. She was friendly and asked if we had enjoyed our meal. The young man behind the bar was friendly and offered ice and lemon in my water which was nice. The carvery guy also pleasant and friendly. It's a great place to eat and I've always enjoyed having a meal here.”

“Works close by, after shift on a Friday meet up with collegues for a drink and some food. Staff are always welcoming and friendly especially Julia who serves the food with a bit of light banter, she is always smiling which makes my experience at waterfold a good place to visit, that's why I keep coming back. Food is yummy especially the Marz attack Cake, but I am always at a defeat at the end you get alot more for what you pay for. Fab place 10/10😊😊😊”
