Had lunch with friends in this lovely quirky little place on the main road on the way into Bury.<\/p>\n

Already Whitefield is becoming well known with great food from a myriad of places popping up all over the\u00a0place, Crowded House is just beyond that strip and well worth the visit.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The interior of the place is surprisingly simple and yet full of character. Sort of playground come cafe sort of look.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We had the Smoked Haddock Colcannon, topped with a poached egg (a little undercooked, but that’s me being picky) and mustard grain sauce… fabulous!<\/p>\n

There is style, the staff are non-intrusive and friendly. The seating and tables adequate without making any special statements. But the food is definitely worth going back for.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Don’t expect table linen or silver service. The place is a Crowded House as locals descend in large numbers to get a table in this very busy little place.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed the desert, a berry cheesecake in a chocolate\u00a0cage,<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

whilst my wife tried something similar with pears and salted caramel.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The final touch was the chef that stood in front of the bar casting a watchful eye over his clients.<\/p>\n

Bravo..\u00a0good meal… highly recommended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
