Best Live Music Restaurants in Mellor

I’m so glad we were able to get a table for lunch with friends on my birthday. Couldn’t believe how beautiful the Fire Barn was all decorated for Xmas! Wonderful food, really lovely staff, and best of all - Dan Merriman, MasterChef Professionals champion this year came out to chat with us - what a privilege to meet this amazing chef and great gentleman.

Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. We both ordered the ribs; they just fell apart, amazing flavours. Service was also great, lovely waiter who was patient (menu was so good it took us a while to order!) and attentive (recommending drinks, food). Can’t wait to come again, we had a fantastic experience.

Puffin Rooms is quite simply my favourite bar. The interior design is beautifully done, evocative of a stylish bygone era. The staff are warm and welcoming, and they provide the customer with engaging conversation. I love the fact that there are over two-hundred whiskies/whiskeys behind the bar, some of which have become personal favourites after trying them here. The Steak Diane I tried last night was delicious. The meat was tender, the sauce very flavoursome.

We are a family of four, including two boisterous children. The gentleman who served us absolutely “got the memo” that I needed to discreetly pick the most suitable table to ensure we didn’t disrupt other diners. He was excellent and understanding the boys’ need to be away from other customers and brought us kids menus. The menus seem “slim pickings” but we felt like we had a good selection for our picky kids and us being pescatarian. The cocktail menu was great and we enjoy a few of those. The kids had good sized portions or burger and chicken “nugget” and thick cut chips. We had a selection of veggie sharing plates. All of the food was so incredibly tasty and we felt really full despite the portion sizes looking quite small on arrival. We’d definitely like to return to have more of the menu. We’d just have appreciated a faster service because the kids were getting restless waiting for their puddings. Other than that, this is a very easy place to recommend to others!

I had Porcini & Truffle Tagliatelle with mushrooms and parmesan, it was delicious. Two courses for £14.95, which I felt was very good value. I highly recommend this lovely restaurant, the staff are very polite and helpful. At the moment it looks very Christmasy, lovely.
