I only say "surprisingly" because, let's face it, Cosalea is on the outskirts of Bury :) . The food (tapas) was as good as I've had anywhere in Manchester city centre (e.g. Evuna) and would be considered good even in Spain (I have lived there a few times). We originally booked for 15 people but this was gradually whittled down to 9 due to Covid etc. Sydney at Cosalea was brillant and very understanding throughout the process. The service was first class. Would highly recommend it. Can see that at least one of our group has (independently) also put a very good review. Thoroughly deserved!!!!!

Food was well nice, had a brownie and biscoff millionaire shortbread. Vanilla latte was really good as well. Really good prices too. Service was quite bad though. Lots of unclean tables, other people were stood waiting for 20 mins whilst staff were stood in the kitchen. When the girl was at the front, she was just on her phone. Proper good food, just bad service

Very impressed. They catered for a group of 10 of us and the service was excellent. The dishes just kept coming and there was some great food as well (Plus they were also catering for a group in the function room). The place itself is really nicely done out and even the singer was very good. We will be back!

We had our Girls Christmas get together on 4th December and we had a fantastic night out. The tapas was delicious, staff were excellent as always, the entertainment artiste was awesome, venue was perfect and local, prosecco and cocktails were simply irrestible. We'll definitely be back. Thanks Cosalea for an excellent night out.

Very nice food, but expensive at almost £40 a head and that's just 4 tapas items and a couple of drinks

I'm a retired Home Economist who's had some really bad meals recently which I haven't reviewed as these are hard times. Heard good reports about this place so we decided to come on Sunday and try the Sunday Roast.
It was really nicely fitted out, had a good atmosphere and the Staff were friendly. My Grandson and I had to have the calamari and they were really good then came the sharing roast dinner. We ordered two as there were four of us. I must say the beef was some of the best I have ever eaten - it actually was sliced from a joint of beef, succulent and slightly pink in the middle - not uniformly ready sliced, vacuum packed and heated in a microwave. Chicken was on the bone and the vegetables freshly cooked. We were asked half way through if we needed more gravy, a nice touch. Delicious. My Grandson apprehensively ordered the millionaires shortbread as I make a mean one myself. It was twice the size we expected and certainly passed muster.
My only beef was the small plates, but to be fair, it is a tapas place and we didn't ask if we could have bigger ones so that fault could be with me.
There was a reasonable selection of wine and the price was about the same as in a Pub.
It was lovely that the owner, Richard, found the time to come and speak to us too. On the way out, we passed customers having the gambas. They looked amazing, so much so that I booked again.
Am a wheelchair user that can walk for about two minutes. If coming on my own, would have to access via the ramp and would have no problem inside the restaurant.
My Daughter is also planning to return with Friends as she was tempted by the cocktails and tapas.
My Daughter also looked at the function room, said it looked good.

I visited today with my son. The refurb looks amazing and the ambiance was great. The service was great & atmosphere lovely. Very family friendly. Our Halloween obsessed toddler loved the Vampire hot chocolate & spooky Halloween themed kids meal. The pumpkin spiced latte was very seasonal and my meal delicious. We will definitely be back and can’t wait to come in the evening for food and drinks!

Popped in here for a quick bite ahead of a meeting, and wasn't disappointed - this is a gem of a place.
Lovely staff, clean / lovely layout, and the food was delicious. The Rueben toastie was excellent, but the showstopper was the 'biscoff billionaire' slices. Just wow!! Worth a visit for those alone! 🤤

1st visit....well done Lisa and the team!

A lovely place to eat and drink that caters for whatever reason you are visiting for. Sit back with a coffee and a cake, hold a business meeting there over breakfast, or a catch up with friends....all can be accommodated.

There is plenty of space in various parts of the room so you can find somewhere that suits what you are visiting for. You may need a quiet corner to discuss some work stuff, or near the ice-cream bar so when you have your second, third and fourth, you don't need to walk far.

Sufficient parking on-site and plenty on the road outside, so can cater for vehicles of all sizes.

Staff are very friendly and polite and bring your order to your table, no trying to negotiate tables and chairs, whilst balancing 5 coffees on a tray.

Definitely worth a visit if you haven't been.
See you again next week!

Tried the new evening menu out other day, it’s the perfect spot for date night or meeting up with friends/family. The food and cocktails were amazing. Thank you to the lovely staff and brilliant service. Live music to top it off, singer was brilliant and made a great atmosphere. Thank you, will 100% be back!
