Best & Cool Bars in Ashton-in-Makerfield

"One for the vegans here, Bundobust is the perfect example of proving that you don't need meat to pack a punch. With a proper fast-food feel, despite being able to eat in at their Piccadilly location, each time those lovely little pots are plonked in front of you is just as exciting at the last. The tarka dhal is to die for, their food has a real grab-and-go feel to it and it's very reasonably priced considering the amount of flavour you get out of each dish."

"This laid-back Piccadilly street food favourite has canteen and booth-style seating, and bespoke artwork nodding to Manchester’s industrial heritage. The informal menu is entirely vegetarian: think spiced okra fries, or bundo chaat, a delightful mixture of crunchy samosa pastry, chickpeas, tamarind chutney and turmeric noodles. An excellent beer list showcases local breweries."

"The Quarter Liverpool is a fantastic quaint takeaway deli in the Georgian Quarter, close enough to most of the major hotels in the city.

Check out some of the Liverpool events to know about throughout the year."

"Cobbled streets and Georgian Townhouse splendour, breakfast alfresco and with views over the cathedral. If you’re not already sold on The Quarter, then perhaps it’s food will convince you. An Italian inspired independent, we’re talking freshly baked pastries, smoothie bowls, freshly brewed coffee and the usuals, pancakes, poached eggs and peanut butter on toast."

"Whilst being renowned for its food, the venue is understated for its romance. The Quarter brings the best of Europe together; the road looks like something out of Amsterdam, the decor is reminiscent of Paris and the food is Italian inspired. It doesn’t get much more continental than that."

"From homemade artichoke tortellini and baked aubergine Milanese to Mediterranean pizza topped with vegetables and drizzled with olive oil, Gusto has been busy curating a menu that truly shows off Italian cuisine in all its glory. What more could you ask for from a vegetarian restaurant in Liverpool?"

"One of the things Liverpool is most famous for is The Beatles, so why not make the Fab Four part of your scouse stag weekend?.

"Inspiring the 1967 Beatles’ song Strawberry Fields Forever, Strawberry Field in the Liverpool suburb of Woolton functioned as a Salvation Army children’s home from 1936 to 2005. As a boy, Lennon would sneak in to play, and enjoyed watching the band at the annual garden party. These experiences would go on to inform his later songwriting."

"Located inside the YHA building in the Cavern Quarter, Strawberry Fields has an all-day menu but has sadly been closed and I haven’t been able to go yet. They offer a cuppa and cake for £3.95 so we’re looking forward to them re-opening."
