We visit Automatic on a regular basis. The food is always good, the cocktails even better, it has a great atmosphere, but one thing that makes this place is the staff. The staff at Automatic are a credit to the business, they are very welcoming and cannot do enough for you.
We visited on Saturday 17th February and I was so glad I booked a table as when we arrived it was much busier than usual and several people were turned away whilst we dined.
Service was a little slower than usual but on the Saturday after Valentine’s Day I would expect it to be. We opted for the special Valentine’s Menu. We didn’t choose starters as I wanted to be sure that I could fit in a dessert. My husband went for the chicken main and I went for the steak. It was absolutely delicious, compliments to the chef. For dessert we opted for the sharing Tarte Tatin - again delicious. We had a couple of cocktails which were really good, but then they usually are.
It was a very enjoyable evening and a really pleasant change to have a special menu to choose from. We love eating at Automatic but sometimes I must admit we do get a little bored with the menu. Maybe chef might consider doing specials on a more regular basis? I hope the Valentine’s Menu went down as well as was hoped - we certainly loved it.
Fantastic place, great atmosphere especially in the evening, deep house tunes to make it even better. The spinach lasagne was simply delicious. I cant see it in the menu now but was just gorgeous. Best place to have something to eat and to go out for a drink, all at a reasonable price. Absolutely love it !
Visited yesterday with family who live in Bury .
Friendly staff . Our waitress was Ashleigh who was very polite and helpful . Service was prompt . All our food was hot and tasty , especially the homemade tomato/ chilli soup.
The cafe was recommended by my niece and we weren't disappointed 😍
The place was extremely busy when we went, early Friday afternoon, but the staff couldn’t do enough for you, really friendly and helpful, big portions with the food and the two for one cocktails, well... !! 👌 lovely time and will definitely be calling again
Food was stunning, staff incredibly efficient, polite and helpful, will definitely recommend to anyone that will listen!
Amazing place, great staff! The Hazelnut and Vanilla Espresso Martinis are to die for.
We love going to Automatic delicious food well prepared and presented, lovely staff who pay attention to your requirements take the time to listen and not rush you, that’s why we keep going back.
Roast dinner is something else - plentiful and really tasty. Would recommend the extra couple of quid it costs over a generic carvery, any day.
Lovely food. Lovely cocktails. We booked the
table and it was ready straight away. You are not rushed from your table, so you can enjoy a chat over cocktails.
Will definitely be back . Thank you for your hospitality. Xx

Just called on the off chance.. very busy but found us a table.. Staff, service n food was excellent! Definitely going back n will highly recommend...
The last couple of times I have been here I wasn't impressed with the food but this time it seems they have changed the menu and I could not fault it,had a Cajun chicken burger which was lovely,I was in a party of ten from work and not one person complained about anything.The service was very good and our waitresses very pleasant and efficient.Will definitely be going back.
A very nice place to chill with a drink or a nice cocktail . Or just have a bite to eat the pulled pork sandwich is to die for just pop in the morning eggs Benedict lovely for breakfast and if you want it as a brunch the serve it till 4pm
Excellent value for money. Great choice of menu for me as a veggie.
Great customer service too xx
After being practically whisked to the Automatic on an Xmas meal with work, I was concerned that due to our party size we wouldn't receive the same level of service as 11 chickens in a trenchcoat pretending to be a fully grown adult.
Just like when I thought that the moon was actually the underside of the sun, I was wrong. We were treated wonderfully, attended to by professional staff with nothing to lose and with hearts of bold.
The food was almost perfect (the desserts leaving something to the imagination) and was served promptly and without piles of paperclips intermittently strewn throughout (which is always a bonus).
All in all a great meal, with professional and friendly staff. I did see a customer sneeze into his hand then eat chicken wings but that can hardly be helped.
Very nice atmosphere & great selection of drinks / food, staff very friendly and helpful too 👍🍻 highly recommend 👏
Different to a few years ago, food was okay I had the club sandwich which had chicken and egg on it (but weird), sweet potato fries great. Staff were very friendly. Still one of the nicer places in bury but different to how it was 5 years ago
Automatic is immaculate, very well cleaned in-between customers. Maintenance of Covid cleaning evidenced throughout.
Staff extremely helpful, polite and helpful (nothing is too much for them.) If you visit frequent enough they remember you by name.
The menu is varied, something for everyone, elegantly served; price is value for money (and the servings are generous)... if you order the workers lunch, you will be served and in and out within the hour (which is great for not getting in trouble with your boss!)
English breakfast served on Saturday 😋
Highly recommend 👌
We love this one. The food is delicious, with some very good veggie and vegan variations on the classics. Service is very good, nothing is too much trouble without being obsequious.
The coffee is perfect, and our breakfast sausage butties we're a treat; very tasty, quality sausages.
Nice place and nice food didn't book but they got us a table
Love Automatic. We visit often, and have had breakfast, lunch and evening meals there. Most recently we booked a table for mother's Day, and once again we were able to enjoy a meal without other diner's children disturbing the entire restaurant.
The food is always hot, generous sized portions and tasty. Highly recommend the Automatic Fried Chicken with sweet potato fries. Good drinks list, cocktails are very good. Their spin on an espresso Martini is delicious.
Service is always good without being obtrusive.
Great to be back, service fab and wonderful food, all in a covid secure setting.
A nice place to come for lunch. We had exceptional service from Mel! Vegan options available too :)
I have been to Automatic twice in a week. Once for lunch & Cocktails on a Thursday and once on a Saturday late afternoon with friends. Both times the food has been really nice. Three of us had the fish and chips lightly battered and we all really enjoyed it. The cocktails are 2 for 1 on a Thursday and Friday and they were fab. Much better than the ones at the Sky Bar further down the street. I have been other times with various friends and family. I would highly recommend Automatic. The staff are lovely and very efficient.
Had a english breakfast was great but no as good due to no Black Pudding and uncooked tomato come on owners Bury is the capital of Black Pudding get it back on
Lovely place for
Food and drink I do recommend the fish and chips it was lovely.
The staff where brilliant and we will be back again.
Food and service is always excellent. Menu seems to have shrunk a bit but I guess it's to reduce operating costs during these challenging times.
We've come back, we've been plenty of times but we joined my Wife's Uncles tonight. We love it here. We were served by the fantastic Nicola again, who remembered me. She's great. For starters, we all shared the garlic bread with cheese and tomatoes, and Hummus. For mains, my Wife ordered the Piri Piri Chicken Burger and I ordered the Superfood Budha Bowl with Salmon (against the advise of Nicola, ha). As always, the food was outstanding.
Always a cosy atmosphere and the food is always delicious.
This is a nice friendly pub which sells real ales which are drinkable and of small breweries
This pub is clean and this pubs main expenditure is spent on its food
It has a good menu, which is always on when open and it has ample tables for people to dine at
Any one wishing to eat and drink out at a pub this outlet is the place to eat at
On Saturday 8th July 2023, we again visited this eating and real ale pub
This pub is a good real ale pub
This pubs downfall is that it has only 2 hand pumped ales on offer
This pub needs to get a couple more real ales on asap, and it would then get 5 stars off me
Everything else about this pub was fantastic today staff atmosphere and cleanliness of pub👍
