1921

Went here for our wedding anniversary recently and we had a truly amazing experience. We went for the 7 course tasting menu with wine flight. Every morsel, every sip was scrumptious (wines from Japan, a rose from Turkey. Oh hello) and we were there for 3 hours. The staff were knowledgeable, warm and friendly. All the tables around us seemed to be celebrating something also, a brilliant atmosphere. Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. ❤️

Divine. I was over from abroad visiting, and a dear friend took me to 1921. We had the simple lunch menu and it was just superb, and art on the plate. My thanks to a very dedicated and fine chef. The house white was also spot on; I can't remember what he said it was now, but my quip of the house wine reflecting the house didn't let the house down. Very nice choice, thankyou. The lunch waiter, was 100% personable and professional, and without the arrogance from the new youth I encountered at other Bury establishments. He was the perfect host in manner, quietly aware of each table so you never felt unattended. The house wine was delightful, and the food sensational. I've always loved Haute Cuisine, it's about passion and the restaurant delivers that in spades! With everything so generally expensive anyway theses days, this is the one place I'd happily dig that bit deeper to visit again. I'd forget the other wannabes after the experience here. The most wonderful lunchtime I've had in many years. Thank you.

A fantastic taster menu, I opted for vegetarian due to health reasons and was treated to something exquisite by the chef. Wine flight complemented the meal perfectly with great knowledge from the waiter. An unforgettable experience. 5*

UPDATE: went again recently with a friend who has a severe gluten allergy and 1921 accommodated this amazingly. We all had the tasting menu, but her dishes were brought out on their own plates and everything explained including substitutions. They freshly baked a tiny loaf of gluten free bread at the start, and did a completely different chocolate desert at the end which was apparently divine. Very impressed they can do this with such a complex menu, and a real treat for my friend who can’t usually eat at places like this. ————————— Original review: If I had to use one word to describe this place, it would be “fun.” As other reviews mention, the food is excellent, and displays a serious range of talents from the chefs with flavours taken from all around the world. Every dish had some clever flourish that the servers were always excited to explain, and you could tell that there was genuine enthusiasm from everyone involved to deliver a great dining experience. We’d particularly recommend the wine flight, which has got to be one of the best we’ve had anywhere. Plenty of places will provide good wine pairings, but here the food and wine genuinely riff off each other. Dessert wine was used to complement one of the very rich main dishes, and an orange wine that would be a challenge to finish on its own became the perfect compliment to another. The pacing was a tad chaotic at points, with the table filling up somewhat alarmingly at the start, but it’s a very minor point given the quality of everything. I can see this place getting a star with a bit more polish, but then maybe we shouldn’t want that because the prices would only go up. Lastly, my partner dropped her phone as we were leaving, and within a minute of getting out the door my phone rang several times to call me back to collect it. Cue a somewhat undignified jog to avoid missing the train, but really appreciated the quick action from them as would’ve been a real pain otherwise.

Absolutely incredible experience at 1921 for the tasting menu. Highly recommend, the staff and chef were amazing. Recommend a coffee to finish as the dessert was exceptional.

Unbelievable value, each dish was a tasty work of art that I didn't want to end. Lovely atmosphere and the staff are attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. First visit but we'll be back.

We're lucky in Bury these days that there's a few places to get really good food and 1921 is one of these. What really sets this restaurant apart is the incredible service. The staff were exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. The dishes offered on the tasting menu were delicious and then the wine flight took that enjoyment to another level. I would happily recommend this place to anyone.

Easily one of the best places in Bury to eat! Went for lunch on a Friday, 3 courses for £29 is an absolute bargain for the quality of food you are getting. The wait staff are always friendly and will explain the elements of your dish when you receive it. Have been going for several years and have never been disappointed!

Fantastic experience. Food was perfect, but service was outstanding. it takes both to make a nice evening, and 1921 nailed. fresh menu, locally sourced included an actual Chef with actual recommendations without being asked! great food, expertly prepared and presented by staff that actually strives for top - notch customer experience. a can't miss. thank you TripAdvisor for the recommendation. shame on yelp for not even having it.

having received a kind invitation from a client for a pre Christmas meal and recommendation from my son who is a chef I contacted 1921 because of dietary requirements , I have coeliac disease and cannot have gluten, Despite spending twenty minutes on the phone with a very helpful member of staff I struggled to come up with three suitable courses, the first course I had asked for was rabbit with onions and tomatoes what arrived was a strip of what I can only describe as pate that did not taste anything like rabbit being laced with so many herbs the flavour of rabbit was lost,and for some reason the onions were pickled which I cannot have due to gluten in the vinegar ,the tomatoes were almost non existent with only half of one cherry tomato being visible. mains, ooh dear what arrived was a huge plate with food that would have fitted on a saucer,a miniscule piece of chicken. mashed potato that had the consistency of smooth peanut butter and was virtually tasteless. The brussel sprouts and bacon were nothing more than a dessert spoon sized dollop of liquidised mush, not the brussel sprouts and bacon that I had asked for, the only dessert I could have was sorbet, which consisted of three teaspoon sized portions two of which were tasteless and one having intense fruit flavour and was very pleasant . the drink I had ordered was Aspall cyder ,a favorite of mine , when I tried it I found it to be extremely dry and sharp certainly not the Aspall cyder I was used to,But this was all they had so I had to put up with it, I believe it is called harry sparrow! well what can I say not the best culinary experience . I felt quite embarrassed for the kind person paying the extremely large bill...
