Beach - Fayre & Square in Rochdale

Nice selection of small plates (tapas-ish) for £11 was good value. The ones we chose were very good. Rather limited real ale selection but again the one I drank was a great brown ale. Overall I was impressed and would go again.

A greene king pub with a carvery and you can take a dog in if you want.

Carvery had plenty of veggie options, made roasties in oil rather than beef dripping when I asked. Can’t beat the price, and space outside for the kids. 10/10

Food was amazing, superb, tasty, hot and plenty of it , this was a small takeaway.

Always a warm welcome with terrific atmosphere and a fun relaxing time to spend with family weather eating a lovely meal or just some drinks to unwind .

Came to watch the rugby,the staff,Izzy especially were perlite, professional and curtious. Wasn't going to have food but gave in and had the carvery.Loved it..... Overall I would come back again no problem.

Enjoyed a lovely meal with family. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere. Suitable for all ages and pet friendly

Very quiet when went. Staff lovely, even brought my boy some more chips when he put way too much salt on them

Went for a quiet meal with my wife We decided on the all day carvery which was £7 each which I thought was a bargain. We had the turkey which was lovely. Plenty of choice for the potatoes and Veg also a big Yorkshire pudding

Visited today after finding out from a friend about the offer on carvery. We got a table pretty much straight away. That view is fantastic! 4 of us, 3 adults and a little one. We ordered fish fingers for the child that arrived relatively quickly. When going for our carveries there was a queue of about 5 people but didn’t mind as we could see it was being refreshed all the time. Food was really nice and staff are lovely and very attentive. Definitely worth the value for money

A young searly kid eventually served me after i was overlooked twice and acted like he couldnt be arsed.

Good value, food, and lovely location. However, the staff were not very friendly. I had to wait almost 10 minutes to be attended to whilst stood at the bar. There was only one customer in front of me. All the other staff just walked past me as though I was invisible. Shame because the place has great potential!

Great value. Staff are super nice!

Lovely staff and nice atmosphere!

lovely doggie friendly carvery pub , food is lovely

I have been here before and it was lovely. Came today. Service was slow and poor. Tables full of empty plates. We waited 20 mins for drinks. Ordered 5 plates and beef, nachos and chicken was cold. Children's meal was good. Had to ask twice for deserts and wait 25 mins. Disappointed on this visit. Seemed short staffed.

Carvery is very good value for money. Good choice and also caters for vegetarians.

Staff let this place down, foods not the best either. Location great though

100% will be coming back! Staff were amazing and very helpful! They couldn’t have done more for us, the carvery was top notch 100% recommend getting the carvery next time you come.👍

Called here a month ago if you are disabled please don’t call here, you get treated like a second class citizen, we will squeeze you into the corner out of the way we got told, no where near the disabled toilet I would have had to ask lots of other diners to get past while they was eating, we just turned around and got out of the place as fast as we could

The service was poor at the bar as the there was the only person serving drinks and food. Worse was to come as when at the front of the queue, I was told there is a different menu outside, a menu not on display on the outside tables. We opted for the carvery which was then served in a polystyrene container.

Nice atmosphere, nice beer, nice food! Nice!

Brad And the staff excellent service improved since I was last there

Went for tea with my Niece and her Dad we asked for 2 carvery and 1 fish and chips. 3 times we were told the fish and chips would be about 25 mins, so we got the carvery, after having to ask for the tickets which the server didn't initially give us, we were more than half way through the carveries and more than half an hour after ordering the food when I looked at the receipt only to find that the fish and chips had not been ordered or payment for them taken. When asked the staff member said "no she hasn't taken it down do you want me to order it now" we declined. No apology no offer of a complimentary drink nothing. We went across the road for fish and chips which he ate whilst sat by the lake ☹ Drinks were £12.50 for 1 coke, 1 lemonade and a peroni larger

The food, service and atmosphere were good. The only things that it down for me were the awfully sticky floors and the terribly dated toilets. Other than that good 👍🏼

Great food great staff lovely place

I didn't eat, but the food looked ok, and reasonable prices.

Great spot good food nice marina view Staff were welcoming

Vegetables raw,food warm burger no flavour was NOT worth the money and very dissatisfied was going to book for Christmas but no way... it's gone down wouldn't waste my time or money there again

Stunning views over the lake from the beer garden. Drinks in plastic cups, not a fan. The beer was alright, but warm and the plastic cup made it feel slightly worse.

Great food had the carvery excellent great price service was excellent

We was down from hull again we did want to sit outside with having 3 dogs one being only 5 months old but couldn't get the mixed grill served outside different menu and limited so we did find a table inside bar area which I appreciate as there's so many places which don't welcome dogs this place even as a doggy menu the puppy really enjoyed the steak and chicken will definitely visit again as usual thank you for making dogs 🤗

We've been coming here for years. Even had our wedding reception upstairs 8 years ago. Unfortunately The Beach has gone that far downhill we will not be returning anymore. Carvery was inedible. All meats were dry. The mash tasted like lumpy powdered mash and had a lovely thick dry crust on top which I had to scrape at to get to the mash. Cauliflower cheese had obviously been sat there all day as there was no cheese sauce it was completely dry and stuck to the pot. The entire pot of parsnips were all burnt. Carrots were rock hard. Roasties were all burnt. Ordered a portion of chips for my son, £2.99 for about 5 chips! I asked the young lad if that's all the chips you get for £3, he said he'd get more and when he brought them to the table he had a very bad attitude and practically threw them on the table. The fries that came with my husbands and daughters burgers were inedible, overcooked and hard. I'm so disappointed as this was always our go to place. Not anymore. You know somethings wrong when it's extremely quiet on a Friday afternoon. Got a chippy on the way home.

We had a long walk round hollingworth lake and we came in here for dinner it was busy lovely staff and food I would recommend the steak and ale pie it was lovely my family loved the food they ordered and carvery

Good carvery. Plenty of food, even in the medium serving. Convenient for a walk round the lake afterwards.

Booked a table about 4pm on Sunday. I paid for a few carveries. There was no beef, just gammon and turkey. I asked if there were any beef but was told they didn't know how long it would be. The veg on display looked like it had been there all day (very dry and unappealing) so I ended up just having a couple of dry carrots, mash tasted like powder and overall everything tasted bland. Very disappointed, especially as it's not cheap!

Lovely place with great food and service not to mention a fantastic outdoor area with kids slides and climbing frame

Carvery was hot with plenty of choice

Wonderful views and brilliant staff. Food good. Prices brilliant

Visited here for a Birthday treat for my daughter and where do I begin !! The food was absolutely shocking to start off with and the burger was that tough and burnt it could of smashed a window The Sunday lunch carvery was that bad my dog even turned its nose up at it There was no organisation The set up was a bit weird of bringing the dogs in the pub with your meal instead of having them outside where they could roam and relax If this place didn’t have the lake then i suspect it would have shut a while ago !! More of a birthday nightmare than a birthday treat !!

Visited here on impulse today. Lovely carvery meal, great selection of vegetables. It's very reasonably priced too. They offer 3 different sized plates which i thought good for people who dont eat much. Staff were lovely. Great views even in the rain. Very clean, It's definitely worth a visit.

Dropped in for a drink. Service was good. Sat in the garden. Climbing frames for the kids. Large garden plenty of seating.

Had a drink and some food here after a funeral. Apart from the really rude drunk workman outside thinking it was funny to make remarks calling my family members “the angels of death”, etc. it was a nice place to go. Staff were polite and helpful.

Car parking is a nightmare at the pub. Food was poor quality. Cold and over cooked I have an abbot ale was the worst drink tasting like vinegar. Sweets we ordered 2 ice cream only got one ,30 minutes for the next two. To come out. The floor in ladies toilet as not been cleaned in a very long time.Very poor service.

We went for lunch not been before, it was very spacious inside with lovely views. We had a carvery I had a small one and hubby had a medium one it was very nice and would go again. Nice and quiet when we got there bit had started to fill up when we left.

Came today with my friend and 2 children. Arrived around 12ish and the place was pretty quiet not been here for years. Had a carvery and 2 children’s meals the carvery was okay but after 30 minutes I asked where the children’s food was to be told the kitchen hadn’t been given the ticket for the meals and they would rush it through now. After another 15 minutes I asked the manager where the children’s food was as all the tables who had ordered well after us had received their food the manger gave some excuses about it being busy and their being a mistake with the kitchen no real apology given. The table next to us made a complaint about the carvery and where given free deserts and our hungry children where given excuses. Will definitely not be going here again and certainly won’t be recommending this place to anyone. We were not the only table having problems either both the tables next to us either made a complaint or was given the wrong food. Shocking service.

Great pub very busy when the weather is good 👍

The wait times were dreadful, but the food was absolutely gorgeous. Definitely coming here again.

Overall not a good experience.Our order was wrong and what we had was tastless and poor quality 😕 Very dissatisfied won't be going again...

What a shocking place this is absolutely stunk of urine food took an absolute age and then we had to send it back . STAY WELL CLEAR OF THIS RESTAURANT

Waited almost an hour for food. When it came out the chips were cold and the 'hotdogs' are half a chorizo sausage on a baguette which were not nice at all. Husband said burger was OK and daughter said chicken burger was nice but the cheesy jalapeño bites were so overcooked (and we suspect reheated) that there was no cheese left in them. So disappointed.

Be careful regarding parking, it’s £3 PER HOUR which is not clearly stated on the signs. Catches quite a few people out including myself!

Set in lovely surroundings with it's own pay and display car park, right besides the lake ,the Beach pub is a great place to pop into for a drink after a nice walk. It's a nice big pub with benches at the front and a beer garden to the rear. It's a family friendly pub with reasonably priced food menus for adults and one for the children. They even welcome dogs too who also have a little food menu which I think was a great idea. The staff were friendly and kept the tables cleared and clean. We decided to order food and both went for the garlic mushrooms to start, they were nice and crispy, not soggy and watery but unfortunately didn't come with salad or garlic mayo, they came with sour cream instead which we didn't really like. If you don't want the Carvery , there was a good selection of food on the menu but not really much choice for vegetarians. I opted for the fried halloumi. I've never had it before, it was nice but I found it a bit chewy. My friend went for the chicken curry, she said it was ok but said it tasted like a "ping and ding" type curry. She had to pay extra for the naan and when it came it looked like someone's left overs as it was a roughly torn half of a full piece. We were informed this is how it's served which I didn't think looked very nice, maybe if they used a knife instead of tearing it,it might look better. Overall , I think for the price it wasn't too bad . They had offers on drinks and shots daily and on Thurs-Sun it's BOGOF on certain drinks 7-closing. It is a nice pub with friendly staff, child and dog friendly and great prices. I recommend it.

Totally chaotic, over 15mins to order a drink. Carvery was disappointing. All veg overdone and mushy and weird tasting thin gravy. Starters brought out after the main meals were served and all overdone 🥹

Great food and drinks with great service and all staff are friendly and welcoming and very helpful Great carvery and main menu food Highly recommended for everyone from regulars to visitors to dogs 🐕 An amazing experience

Lovely carvery and excellent service from Debbie! She couldn’t do enough

Very long wait on food, and it wasn't that busy. Food was disappointing.

Only had a li mk evand soda outside

Rude manager, taking phone calls instead of serving people queuing. Other staff great . 22.11.2017 Overpriced for lime and soda £2.40, yesterday at another greene king pub only £1.00 The staff member who served me after a 14-minute wait was abrupt. They never seem to understand when there us more than 4 in a queue who are ordering food. Nobody seems to ask for more staff.

Great pub in a lovely location. Friendly staff and lots of delicious food to choose from a varied menu. Have enjoyed watching some games from the Euros here. A great stop when you are walking around the lake.

Walked around the lake. Popped in for lunch and carvery. A little light with the slices of meat, but all were perfectly cooked and delicious. Dog friendly and the sell off cuts of meat for £1.25 my pups really enjoyed it.

Had such a lovely meal with breathtaking view. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Especially Charlotte on the bar. So nice to see a member of staff enjoying their job nothing was to much to ask. Served with a smile. Will be back.

We had a wonderful mean and the play area for children was a massive plus. Food was hot and fresh and delicious

Lovely food cooked well. Nice atmosphere. Very welcoming to our 2 dogs - they have water bowls and a doggy menu too.

Great place for food staff VERY nice food VERY nice would recommend 5 stars guaranteed

really nice place to eat, amazing staff❤️

Mash potato was very dry, and the roast potatoes were very dry too. I loved the Turkey it was bloody beautiful 😍 shame about the veg tho 😔

Visited the Beach with friends for dinner, on arrival the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was lovely and great value for money. Will definitely be going back.

Lovely food and great atmosphere, carvery was delicious

Wow! Amazing carvery, overlooking the south Pennines in the garden area. Such a nice place to eat when walking round the lake

It was not busy, and brought my friends sweet out before the meal. My small plates were overcooked, then waited ages for the sweets to come out, only to be told that mine hadn't be ordered!

Lovely pub near Hollingsworth lake. Had a great outing with hubby

Very Quiet but service was very slow.

Some confusion from the bar staff when ordering breakfast - look a long time to order at the till and then took a long time to arrive. When it did arrive everything looked like it had been sitting out for a while and was a bit dry/ overcooked. Tasted ok though and was a good price.

When I first got there and stood at the bar there was a lady in front of me and a member of staff behind the bar asked the lady was she being served and she sad no and as she said that a male member of staff came to her and served her. The first member of staff who asked the lady about being served looked at me and then turned around and walked off. I ordered my food nothing difficult simple things off the started section then went and sat down. The place was not busy as it was 7pm. We sat there for nearly a hour and still no food there was people came in after we did and they was getting served before we was eventually the food came and it was ether dry the nachos where burnt and all the food was cold like it had been stood there for half hour. Very disappointed with all the experience of the visit 😕

Went to watch England play last night, we ordered food and drinks and we couldn’t fault them. The service was amazing and they was all so helpful. Would 100% recommend and would go again

Me and my brother went for lunch after a walk around the lake. The food was really nice, we both had the buttermilk chicken burger with mac n cheese on it. The staff were friendly. The lady at the bar, I think her name is Emma, was nice and had a lovely demeanour about her. The desserts were tasty too. Would recommend

Went there with my family expecting just about decent breakfast I was extremely disappointed with the breakfast. First it came late, then we had burnt bacon as if that was enough I was given orange juice that’s not even full. The food did not even taste- the customer service was next to nothing the bar tender when told I did not need ice in my juice he just went on to Remove the ice and not top up the juice I found this disgusting. The place is not clean

We had the carvery the veg was very hard under cooked the Yorkshire puddings were over cooked very crispy the meats were fine and the gravy was nice ie reason for 3 stars staff were very nice and accommodating

Fantastic place with lovely views and nice staff

Decent pub, good drinks offers, good service and a lovely carvery, good sized beer garden with a good view of the lake

Fab fab fab guess am a Regular and theirs a reason- very professionally run by Sophie , Brad and young Callum suitably supported by all staff, front & kitchen,beers cold & food fills a corner.. Had many happy smiley times.. Do urself a favor & call in for a cold beer and steak.. Easy 8/10

I would like to say a massive outstanding service with mat the manager at your local pub grub amazing service and great quality staff always happy to help and go above and beyond

Excellent service last night. Matt and Debbie were fantastic as always. My daughter had carvery and was really impressed with the food on offer.

I’m really fussy with chicken but I enjoyed this so much today it was fantastic. Guy on the bar was so welcoming and polite and then the food was so good I asked the chefs name to send my compliments- Lewis you were ace thank you for a great meal

Darren on the carvery is a legend!!! Polite, friendly and helpful! We are had the carvery and it was lovely! The only negative was we were sat on the large round table near the fire door at the back of the pub, it's very squashed in so I had to get up each time someone needed to get past me 🙄 not great when trying to eat with family. Not sure it should be so close to the fire exit either, so maybe needs looking at are taking it out of that area altogether? Over all a lovely pub with yummy food!! 😋

Most of the tables which are wheel chair accessible are only big enough for 2 people. The dining areas for groups are up or down a level with no way of getting a wheelchair to those areas. We have turned up, the place is empty, went to find a seat next to the disabled toilet and there’s 2 tables set out both with reserved signs on, from previous visits it’s become apparent these signs are only placed there incase a big party comes in, surely if they’re not actually booked out then they’re available. We were left wondering around wondering where to sit to suit the wheelchair and my nanna. I asked a really helpful lady who sorted out a table(one of the reserved ones) her manager who she asked clearly wasn’t happy to help though. This is the second time now we’ve been treated as a nuisance, if it wasn’t for my nans love for the lake we wouldn’t bother at all. I’d highly suggest considering the area that these 2 big tables are split out or moved to the other areas of the pub where people don’t have any issues with mobility. It’s not appropriate to feel like a hassle just for her being disabled, they should be more accommodating if anything. The food is great thankfully, so are most of the servers however this particular manager looks dejected, like he hates the place and customers even more so. If he’s not happy might I suggest he leave, even watching him with other customers it’s obviously he’s agitated with them and their needs. It’s a shame but I think we’ll start going back to the hornet or the paper mill cause it’s not worth my nans upset feeling like she’s done something wrong just because she’s in a wheelchair.

Didn’t eat so can’t comment on the food but the atmosphere was exactly what you’d want from a carvery. The pub was busy during my visit so there was a larger queue than I’d have liked but the staff handled it very well and did a great job of tracking who was next.

Had a very nice breakfast and also an excellent carvery (different days). Brilliant staff and a great location.

Matthew was great! Really helpful and smiley! The food was ok, took a while to come out but there were 7 of us so very understandable. Debbie came over to check on us and was lovely! Thank you all!

Went today after 2 laps of the lake with our dog. Walked in sat in the great dog friendly area, went to the till to get served . Ignored for ten minutes. Then finally asked to step over to the till out of the dog friendly bit . Only to be pushed out of the way by another customer with countless orders and and allergy needs. Went to ask the passing manager but was taken aback by his reaction to an old fella sat down saying that people were waiting too long. I won't use the language the manager used to the customer but it wasn't normal . I then asked the same manager for help saying I'd waited a long time and I wanted two straight mixed grill meals and drinks . He then directed me to the same till I'd Neen waiting at . I got served at the next till only to be told that no mixed grills were on the menu . This is no fault of the bar staff . This day was managed ridiculously. I went over the road to Krave and we were served perfectly and the food was amazing. Give The Beach a miss . Trust me .

Good value, reasonable selection but carvery fell well below expectations with barely warm, watery vegetables and definitely the worst 'roast' potatoes I've ever tasted! Grubby seating and menus but great location and what's not to like about free all day parking when you dine.

Food was amazing, thank you to Courtney in the kitchen food was spot on

Vile food long waiting times my missus ordered crispy beef over an hour wait was rock hard terrible service don’t come here disgusting anging place.

Never any staff at the bar, always dead. Food is terrible. Used to be a great spot! Really gone down hill.

Lovely food, helpful staff. Couldn't fault it, aside from having no garlic mayo :-/

Awful, place has gone downhill… ‘ chef ‘ on the carvery is trying to win a award for the thinnest slices of meat known to man, hardly any trimmings left, mash had formed a skin, burned ‘ roast ‘ potatoes.

Excellent!! Staff are so friendly and helpful, from sorting out 14 orders, to checking that we were happy with our food. I can't fault them. The food was excellent, as always.

Fantastic place,extremely dog friendly too
