[@]Automatic Restaurant and Cafe Bar

With its relaxed feel and great streetside seating in the heart of Bury’s bustling town centre, Automatic Restaurant and Cafe Bar has a definite European feel.

If you arrive for a lazy lunch, don’t be surprised if you’re still here come dinner time. ‘Suitable for all occasions’ is a term which many eateries claim and few achieve, but Automatic is one of them.

Their extensive menu has a wide range of dishes, featuring classic mains and hearty home comforts as well as varied sharing platters and a range of tapas style dishes (the Kefta Tagine, Moroccan meatballs in a tomato, garlic, cumin and coriander sauce with an egg on top in particular looks good, and for £4.75 is not to be sniffed at.)

And Automatic’s early dining menu, which is available Sunday to Wednesday between five and seven, offers a selection of their popular starters and mains at £10 for two courses.

Automatic is also extremely family friendly by day, and was voted number one place to eat with kids in Bury and Rochdale by Netmums.
