Due to Bury’s close proximity to Manchester, many businesses are choosing it as a more affordable option. Bury also lays claim to a number of sophisticated restaurants and cafes. The most famous of these is Dining with Distinction, a train-based restaurant that serves light bites and afternoon tea, and hosts premium nights complete with a four-course meal, champagne, and a red carpet. It also hosts wine tasting evenings and traditional Lancastrian lunches, catering to all of your needs.
