Bury, known for its black pudding, market and public transport interchange, has welcomed a chic new addition to its foodie scene. An exciting new addition to the Bury dining scene, Mélange invites guests to enjoy a carefully curated menu that blends Mediterranean inspiration with subtle British influences.
Offering bold yet comforting flavours, Mélange is set to become a local favourite in Bury for those seeking a fresh and elevated dining experience. Inspired by the French word for ‘a varied mixture‘, Mélange’s menu captures the essence of the Med’s vibrant cuisine while honouring the comforting traditions of British dining.
Guests can savour dishes such as lamb infused with bold spices, warm goat’s cheese salad with red wine-poached pear, and Mediterranean-style seafood risotto. British favourites are given a unique twist, like buttermilk-soaked fried chicken and Beef Wellington wrapped in Chef’s special pastry – plus, sharing platters such as mezze, charcuterie boards, and vibrant dips ensure there’s something for everyone.
The restaurant also brings an element of interaction to the table, with dishes that encourage diners to engage with their food, including the signature tapenade served in a rustic mortar and pestle, with freshly baked bread. Mélange offers a unique opportunity to explore the fusion of two culinary worlds in a welcoming and vibrant setting.
Replacing the well-known Oscar’s restaurant at Red Hall Hotel, Mélange’s interiors are designed to evoke the relaxed sophistication of the Mediterranean coast. Lush greenery, natural textures, and a palette of soft blues and sandy beiges create a welcoming yet elegant atmosphere. The space, which seats up to 80 guests, offers a perfect setting for both intimate meals and larger celebrations, with beautiful views of the Lancashire countryside.
Owners Priyanka and Gourav Batra shared their vision for Mélange: “Mélange is about celebrating the warmth of family and friends, the joy of sharing good times, and creating lasting memories. It’s where British tradition meets Mediterranean flair, bringing love, life, and laughter to the table. We’ve created a space where every meal feels like a celebration, and we can’t wait to share it with you.”
Mélange has now opened its doors, offering a unique and memorable dining experience for the Bury community and beyond. Bookings are open here.
📍 Mélange is located at Red Hall Hotel, Manchester Rd, Walmersley, Bury BL9 5NA.
