Beach - Fayre & Square in Rochdale

Visited today with my little girl for a carvery and was very impressed, food was great and very fresh, but the friendly and helpful staff were what really made our afternoon. Especially the lady doing the carvery and the lady who I assume was management. We’ll definitely be back

Just popped in for a quick soft drink and a bag of crisps late in the day whilst waiting for a lift home

I came in on Friday for a carvery the customer service was great by callum at the bar and Carl at carvery, They was very welcoming and well mannered. Will definitely be coming back!!

A delicious carvery mid week with very tasty meat and a super array of vegetables. Staff very pleasant and efficient nothing too much trouble. Shame about the tired dated appearance of the pub interior.

It's a lovely place to visit but I will not be going there again the chef was miserable and unfriendly and rude the food out of the carvery was disgusting never again will I visit this place let alone waiting half an hour to get served don't recommend at all a no show trust me

Our meals were fine. However,being asked on a number of occasions whether we wanted extra food or drinks wasn't appreciated. We felt pressured on an occasion that should've been a relaxing meal. If we'd have wanted extra,we knew where the bar was.

Didn't eat but called for a drink after walk round Hollingworth lake will definitely eat there next time

Firstly nice staff who did their best to put things right. However not great for veggie. Ordered a cheese and onion pie and carvery vegetables. Ordered at the bar, the pie was never put in the oven to be cooked so long wait between courses. No veggie roast potatoes and the one’s hurriedly cooked were raw on serving and needed to be recooked. None of the gravies/labelled as veggie friendly or not. Sadly unlikely to return.

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.

Had an excellent carvery. Was really impressed. The place was pretty quite but all the food was still piping hot and looked appetising. It was delicious 😋

Cannot fault the service here. Cole, Chris, Peaches, Sophie and Brad were amazing. I came in today for a meal with my family and they were so accommodating and so lovely. Would highly recommend a Texas Jack Burger, Chris did an amazing job. 10/10 for food and service, would come again.

Great Sunday lunch, with fantastic views. Would recommend it.

Came in for a drink with family (all adults) and a dog on a Sunday. Super dog friendly, Debbie was a very attentive and friendly waitress, we did not eat but the food looked and smelled great and is very affordable. Gave water bowls and food bowls for dog. Sat in corner near toilets, chilled environment, nice and quiet.

Been at the beech many times for the carvery and had no problem everything spot on .calls for breakfast on Sunday and very disappointed nobody was in only hand full took ages to get some service only 1 staff on the man with fair hair or ginger was about as happy as a bear with a sore bum .breakfast was not very hot my wifes sausage .bacon was burnt and mine looked like it had been warmed up .so won't call again for breakfast .only lunchtime ???

Cavery was very good, matt, debbie and Courtney were very friendly and attentive staff.

Ate there today for the first time. Ordered the all day breakfast and my partner ordered the chicken and bacon salad. It was the worst salad I've ever seen. Dry chicken with burnt bacon bits and a few lettuce leaves. Absolutely shocking . Coffee's weren't bad though. Seems to mainly cater for the carvery which didn't look bad. If coming here do not order the salad

Awesome carvery tonight after a hard afternoon on the bike, didn’t need to book as it was gone 8pm. Excellent selection of food and was lovely and hot. Will definitely be going back at Christmas with the whole family and a dog 🤣

We had a wonderful time at a wedding function, the room was lovely and the service was great. Brad was wonderful, friendly and easy to converse with, he couldn't do enough for us. Thanks brad

Decided to have my wife's and my wedding reception here, absolutely would recommend, the food was amazing the staff were absolute gold.

Was here for my sister wedding reception. The buffet was great and brad was superb and friendly behind the bar.

Absolutely amazing afternoon in the function room for our daughters wedding. The buffet was delicious and plentiful. A special shout out to Sophie, who was a wonderful help throughout, and to Brad on the bar. We couldn't have asked for a more special afternoon. Definitely 5 star. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕 Leasa & Mark Highley x

Amazing Pub to visit, with lovely staff and fast service. Was served by peaches at the bar who was a delight. Would definitely come here again.

Good atmosphere. All staff were friendly and welcoming. Was served by peaches and callum. Food was fresh and delicious. Would highly recommend

The meal was very good but the guy behind the bar is excellent and attentive.

thought we would stop in for a carvery today after a walk round the lake, two of us plus a little one and a doggo. The lady on the front desk was lovely and found us a table in around 10 minutes. Given how busy it looked the carvery was hot and fresh and the chefs seemed to be putting out fresh food all the time. ordered pasta for the little one with peas and chips. by the time my partner returned with her carvery the little ones meal was already on the table. was quite impressed with the service given how busy it was and they even do a whole menu for the dog! would definitely give it another go but maybe when its not so busy

Today I went to pick up my too good to go back, I never been here before and let me tell you I was so surprised how nice the staff was especially older lady with short hair omg she was the nicest lady ever, I asked if I could have extra gravy bare in mind they don’t have to give u anything else other than ur too good to go back but she brought it to me in a cup all wrapped up so it doesn’t spill and then I was being cheeky and asked for any fork and she brought me fork knife salt and pepper with napkins, this was the best too good to go experience, I will definitely come back there and book a table to have a meal because I never seen such a lovely staff member in my life. Thank you 💗

Lovely place, polite staff,nice food over all at reasonable price, although the beef on the cavery can be quite chewy and full of gristle so I have stopped having this. It's has disabled access and toilets, There is a lovely outdoor part suitable for kids when the weather is nice. Nice views overlooking hollingworth lake. Lovely place for a walk round hollingworth lake to walk your lunch off.

I can honestly say this is the worst meal we have ever had. It was so bad. Had the mixed grill and the chicken was like leather extra dry. Sausages burnt all the way through, have these been saved from the breakfast menu as that's the only reason a sausage would be cooked so bad, as for the egg white was completely raw running all over the plate this was clearly not cooked and would never have reached the temperature required to serve to a customer so im taking it that basic food hygiene is definatley not bieng followed in this kitchen and definatley need looking into . Side of gravy just tasted like very strong Worcestershire sauce it was discussing. Also on to website to order to your table there was no childrens menu. So I went to the bar and asked why and they said that they had switch it off because of a half an hour wait on food. This is totally wrong and should not be done. I usually visit greenkings all the time cause of their dog friendly atmosphere. This has changed our minds and think i will be looking elsewhere in future.

Service what service stood at the bar to order food for 10 minutes.only one guy on aand it was busy....walked out went elsewhere

Lovely food , Lovely staff Debbie was very friendly Unfair reviews from fat greedy customers trying to get freebies!

Debbie & Carl looked after us with absolutely wonderful service. Debbie is always very kind & helpful. We enjoyed the service & the food. We are regulars hope Carl stays he was a breath of fresh air.

Very quiet, very friendly, overall good

Had a £7 carvery which is a bargain and a lager each, excellent value for money

Absolutely disgusted, got there at 2pm today and was stood at the bar for 15 minutes waiting to be served. We was with our daughter and grandchild. The staff totally ignored us, more bothered about serving the regulars that kept coming to the bar, looked straight through me and my husband, left the bar and walked straight past us with no acknowledgement. More bothered about the city game, than customers. I'm not happy at all, we just wanted a nice family meal together with children. We have been going there for years, and we're not the ones to complain.

My mother in law came for carvery and they couldn't inform her on any allergens in the food only could help if ordering off the main menu.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

lovely doggie friendly carvery pub , food is lovely

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 spot good food nice marina view Staff were welcoming

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

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 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.

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 !!

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.

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.

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...

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 🥹

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

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

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.

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

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

really nice place to eat, amazing staff❤️

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

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 😔
