Boat and Horses in Oldham

Really enjoy coming to the boat and horses for a carvery on a Sunday, plenty of fresh veg to choose from, Lovley mash potatoes and roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese is also nice. Yorkshire puddings can be a hit and miss, sometimes you get a perfect Yorkshire, other times it can be a flat Yorkshire to a stale Yorkshire that’s been sat under a carvery deck light all day. Just depends what times you go and how busy they have been. Also different options of gravy. The breakfast is fantastic also at the boat and horses. Been so many times for breakfast on a Saturday morning. I like the selection of the hot breakfast. Includes all the usual inc black pudding, mushrooms and if you prefer a porch egg to a fried egg then just ask the waiter and the chef will do you 1. Service wise, the staff could be more interactive with their customers. I have walked in when it’s been really busy stood at the waiting station for 10 mins whilst staff have a chat when the customer should come 1st. Overall it’s better than toby carvery by a long shot and the price what you pay certainly can’t be moaned at

A fabulous the night stay whilst attending a local music festival Staff were unbelievably helpful, nothing was too much trouble Great breakfast, menu for fabulous ( the carvery we had wasn't to the same standard, suspect just one of v those days when throughput was slower) So good we've already booked for next year

The boats and horses inn&hotel are a great place with friendly staff and great room service but i recommend short stay as the beds them selves are hard

General cleanliness is great, only issue is the closeness to the motorway which when it is hot you can't have the windows open due to the traffic noise.

Great value for money! Room was impeccable and nicely decorated. Good shower and products. Comfortable beds and pillows. No air con, but able to open the window and room was cool. Plenty of USB sockets. Majority of the staff were super friendly and efficient.

Visit regularly but wasn’t the best this time. I always have cheese and onion pie but unfortunately this has changed and isn’t nice. Staff are nice always chatty and polite. I wouldn’t go in with children as a lot of bad language from customers with no consideration for offers. Also looking a bit tired needs a revamp.

Me and my wife stayed at the boat and horses for the weekend as we were visiting The room we stayed in was lovely and clean and the staff were all very helpful we had our meals at the restaurant all the staff were friendly and very helpful the meals we had breakfast and dinners where wonderful I had The steak pie the pastry just melted it was great my wife he'd the sea bass she said it was fantastic the day after we had a carvery it was diffinatly worth the money the next time we come down we will definitely be staying here we told the manager how wonderful her staff was and was a credit to her

We booked a dinner for 4 and all had different meals. Both pies , burger and fish were all over cooked , I am sure it could have been a decent meal otherwise . The restaurant lacks atmosphere and the staff always disappearing somewhere. People often waiting to be served . Lacks management for sure . The rest rooms were not good either , toilet rolls with no holders and no lock on door . Some of the drinkers in there had no consideration of others with bad language and therefore not suitable for a family with children. One good thing are the drinks were good price .

Disappointed to find out that the famous cheese and onion pie is no longer available replaced with a pressed cheese and onion pie why change something that’s already great with a poor substitute pressed pie not the same and poor quality pie more onion than cheese won’t be visiting for food as often shame disappointed that the menu wasn’t updated with a change of pie felt cheated

Found this place by accident and what a great find staff were very welcoming with comfy rooms and would definitely go back when next I the area

Great restaurant in this bustling hotel with great views overlooking the canal. Buffet style breakfast was nutritious and plentiful. The staff were ultra friendly and busy cleaning and looking after customers. Stayed two nights and will definitely return again. The only downside was the proximity to Costco as the hotel shares the same entrance road and it was gridlocked constantly which was a pain.

Easy to find plenty of car parking quiet rooms, helpful staff, lovely backdrop of the Rochdale canal all in all a lovely stay.

Got the legendary cheese pie with cheese sauce. The pie was extremely dry so I thought the cheese sauce would help. I expected the cheese sauce would be creamy but was so disappointed it was like it was made with water and thickened with cornflower it was thick and wouldn’t flow out of the bowl it was served in. The chips looked like they had been cooked 5 times they were tasty but dry crunchy and it looked like the fat was very old and discoloured. We was going to have a carvery but I’ve never seen a carvery with so many choices dry and wrinkled it looked disgusting. The peas we got were served in the smallest bowl there must have been 20 garden peas in them. The girl who served me was friendly and professional she was a credit to the pub. We spent almost £100 for only 4 main courses and 4 drinks. I did use my blue light card to get 10% discount but that was a very Amal reward for the quality of the food. I will never visit a Lees pub again for food. Also the member of staff replenishing the the hot plate had very wild curly hair and he had no head cover on.

Saturday night we had a family reunion but it was hampered by poor service and poor quality of food. The place was jammed and noisy with poor service. Even with reservations they didn't have it set up for us.

All I can say is wow!! Me and my partner stayed over at the boat and horses which had been reccomend by some friends coming to the area - we got greeted with a smile and told which room was ours - it was beautiful! Just what we needed to wind down - we decided to treat ourselves to some food next door (same place) it was delicious! I went for the cheese pie which I could have had seconds off and my partner went for the sea bass! Both delicious and reasonably priced! We are coming again for breakfast tommorow and will definitely be coming back to stay and try their carvery which smelt delicious! Thankyou for having us

one night stop over. pretty good value. Good service, comfy bed, clean room. One of the bathroom lights was on the blink, but no big drama. If it wasn't for the fact this place was in Chadderton by a main road on a busy intersection it would be great! Set on the canal it must have been a lovely canal side pub at one point!

I cannot remember much about my stay, but I think it was good aye. By the way, if anyone ever finds a pair of brown shoes in room 112 - hands off - they're mine.

Carvery was terrible service at bar slow got served on child’s plates when we paid for adults carvery very little hard dry meat ridiculous price for what we got very disappointing Mother’s Day meal for me my daughter husband and grandchildren no reciept available avoid if you don’t want roping off

Service, food and staff are fantastic. Really go the extra mile and make your visit worthwhile ……………………………………………..,,,,

Only a one night stay but nothing could be faulted. Room spotless, bathroom likewise. Plenty of space for cases, hanging clothes and desk area. Tea coffee chocolate and biscuits!! Yum!! Shower hot and powerful and proper soap as well as shower gel. Lovely quality bed linen, felt as if it had been triple ironed it was so smooth to slide into. Room was on the top floor overlooking the canal - no noise due to the window insulation, but it was good that we could open the windows for fresh air. Heater in the room was beyond efficient - got toasty throughout in a matter of minutes. All the staff were friendly and helpful both at check in and out and at breakfast service which was from 7-11 am. There was plenty of (very good) coffee, tea, juices, boxed cereals, diy toast and then help yourself hot buffet breakfast. The perfectly dippy fried egg was delish!! Car parking is plentiful and CCTV keeps an eye out. The pub itself is very spacious with views out onto the terraced area and canal. Cold March winds keep us inside but the wine and beer were good so no problems there. This accommodation is several notches up from your Premium Inn and Travelodge offering: cleaner, more modern - just better and nicer. Would wholeheartedly recommend and yes, we would return without hesitation.

The food was lovely and service amazing. Very welcoming and cheerful service. We will definitely go back again.

Excellent stay over in the new hotel and staff were very welcoming on a very busy Bank holiday weekend. Small issues with delay on one of the courses. Nice terraced area and it was great to be able to sit in the evening sunshine drinking and watching the world go by. Very nice room and a hearty breakfast.

This is the first time I’ve been out in a year and was feeling quite anxious. As soon as we entered the building I felt at ease. The staff here are amazing. We had the Cavery and it was lovely. The lady that looked after us and brought our starters I’m sorry I didn’t get her name she had ginger hair and glasses. She was lovely nothing was too much for her. Pay raise guys :) will definitely return.

I've never met the fella and only had contact through email but I'd just like to say how helpful Rob was in booking rooms for their new hotel facility. 11 out of ten for customer service, Well done.

Myself and three friends moored up outside the Boat and Horses on our narrowboats. I thought I'd be cheeky and ask if we could have a round down at our boats. I was told yes, and we received full on table service. The garden was consistently busy but service ran like a well oiled machine with happy punters and staff alike. James looked after us and was polite and attentive. And to see that the KP was helping out with glass collection too just goes to show it's a team effort. Top notch. Well done all!

Just popped in as an off chance found us a table in 5 minutes excellent service from start to finish and the food was excellent keep up the good work 👍🏻

Just had The carvery it was delicious Josh the chef served and was very friendly just like to say thanks to all the staff doing a great job 👍

Came here during Covid restrictions. The food was amazing, especially the cheese & onion pie! They are abiding the rules, yet it still feels warm and welcome. Served by James, who was excellent.

Excellent service food amazing and all safety measures in place. All staff very professional and helpful and friendly.

Food was lovely. I had the cheese & onion pie, the chips where a little under cooked for my liking. My partner had the vegan curry which he said was nice. Bit expensive for a pint but nice all in all.

Been a few times for catchup teas or lunch with friends .This was the 1st visit after Lockdown .Well organised & friendly service .Food arrived quickly & was plentiful & tasty good prices too .Pubs & Restaurants have had a hard year & more to come so great we are able to eat out & enjoy ourselves & support them too.Be back soon .

Went on 31/07/20 Food was OK.i had veggie lasagne. Cheese pie had ran out at 1.30pm? Ordered refillable drinks, no one cleared plates at end of meal, no one offered to refill drinks (we could not do it ourself due to covid rules). We were sat at back of restaurant in booth tried to get staff attention which was difficult. Not many other people in so it wasn't busy. We were tempted to just leave out the fire door without paying, cos if staff cannot be arsed, why should we? But morally we would not do that so we just paid and left. Would not go again.

We visited the Boat & Horses yesterday as a family of five for dinner. 3 of us had the carvery & 2 had burgers from the main menu- all was delicious and it was clean plates all round but what also really stood out was their staff and how they implemented their covid procedure. They went above and beyond to create a welcoming but safe environment with track & trace, hand sanitisers, one way walk ways, table service & staff served carvery as well as screens between some tables. The restaurant was super busy as our visit coincided with the Eat out to Help out day snd yet they had plenty of staff so service was prompt & efficient and standards of food remained high. We would definitely recommend and will visit again in the future.

Ordered the carvery for Sunday Lunch, plated up by the chef. While given an overwhelming large plate full of food, the meal was disappointing.Bland and flavourless, undercooked veg...the parsnips didn't look like they had seen the inside of an oven. Roast potatoes were a mush inside the anything but crispy shell!Neither of us enjoyed it, we won't be going back for a Sunday lunch.Positive note - the service was very quick, but the place was pretty much empty.

Been a few times recently since they reopened. Really impressed with the place - very well organised, spotlessly clean, very friendly service. Obviously the management team lead well as this radiates throughout. They seem spot on with the COVID regs and provide a very safe environment. The food was lovely and the table service was excellent - nothing too much trouble. Greeted on the way in and on the way out which felt lovely.

Had a great time the staff looked after us really great especially Danielle and Michael even though we’re just in for drink the new managers seem to be doing well under these trying times I wish them well for the future and looking forward to coming back .

Very warm welcome from Danielle. Always has a smile and doing very well with all the restrictions makes you feel at ease.

Hi I went to the boat and horses with my kids first time since this covid virus the tables are spaced like the government as said so I was impressed with that from going in were we were met by a very friendly young woman called Danielle we scand the qr code then was shown to our seats the staff are very friendly and we felt very safe with the thing that was in place due to covid the food was lovely I had the carvery I can tell you it is good I would be surprised if you could better it my wife has a gluten intolerance we told Danielle on our arrival and she told us what she could have we have been to other places and asked about gluten and they had to go and asked Danielle was very knowledgeable and made my wife feel good so I would highly recommend the food is great and the staff are very friendly we will be back all I can say is that your staff are a credit to your pub

Very impressed,Danielle on arriving was excellent,very welcoming,table service by Michael was very good,the new managers are coping well,under trying circumstances.Well done everyone.

Went today for dinner food good but excellent service off a young man very well organised due to what’s happening keep up the good work 👍🏻

This place is amazing. The covid-19 safety they have put in place is the best I’ve been to so far. They guy at arrival on Wednesday is extremely helpful and helped us with the track and trace. The service I received from Shelby was very professional. The food was amazing we both had carvery which was pipping hot and the rotisserie chicken was very succulent. I recommend this very highly.

Probably the worst service that I have ever encountered in a public house. Signed the Covid register (on line) was told to take a seat as it was table service only. after sitting around for over 20 minutes and still not being served I decided to leave. On passing through the pub to the designated exit I saw 2 or 3 “waitress” stood around chatting. Not a great advertisement for JW Lees

We ate at the boat and horses a few days into opening after lockdown. The booking system, seating arrangements and staff were very well organised and in line with government guidelines however the food was terrible. They’re working off a reduced menu, which isn’t a problem however the food that was served was far below the usual quality - but with the same highly priced amount. One member of staff also seemed fairly new and didn’t have a clue, we’d ordered an upgrade to one of the orders however the upgrade didn’t arrive, we challenged this with the member off staff several times, we then asked for the chef to be challenged - we still didn’t get the upgrade we’d asked for and was told we’d ordered the wrong upgrade. We felt this was a huge shame as we’re regular visitors but have been really put off.

Food nice and hot, very friendly staff. This was my second visit in two months as the food was tasty and fresh.

It was our annaversary and decided to go to the boat and horses Broadway we arrived and waited to be shown to a table ,we waited and waited member of staff came to us so I went to find one ,I asked if we have to be seated she said you can't sit in this part g up there and find a table then go to the bar and order, the bar was very busy and decided they wasn't overly bothered about our custom and left and went to the Bridgewater and had a lovely meal in a very relaxed atmosphere , special thanks to Ellie for looking after us and going the extra mile for us X

Called in The Boat and Horses tonight for a meal to celebrate my nanas 90th Birthday and I had to come on here to say thank you so much to all the staff for their help and excellent customer service especially Vanessa. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone from the pot washer to the chef were friendly and welcoming. Thank you Vanessa for going out of your way to get me a cake for my nana and bringing it out with the Candles. You made our day. Xx

We went for lunch today: our main course of sea bass on pasta was delicious! However, apart from extremely slow service, our desserts of apple crumble and custard were awful. I can honestly say that I have NEVER had such an awful crumble as this. More like rocks. After telling the waitress about it, we heard no more. When we left, my husband spoke to the assistant manager who apologised but blamed a large table of customers (table 28) and offered to recompense us. This was not our purpose though. We would probably have left it at that until the lady behind the bar made a very sarcastic comment. This has totally ruined our dining experience with them and it is unlikely that we will visit here again.

We visited this establishment last Friday (28th Feb) for my parents Anniversary. Upon entry we waited at the station waiting for a member of staff to greet us and show us to a table. Nobody came so after waiting over 5 minutes, we walked into the restaurant part thinking that we just find a table ourselves. We then noticed a member of staff so we asked if we self seated or was to be shown to a table. She said we had to wait to be shown to a table, she then asked another member of staff for a table for us to which the reply was In haven’t got anything here, go and find a table in the other section and order some food from the bar’. Looking around there was a fair few empty tables. We felt disappointed with the staffs response but went to find a table. We then looked at the queue at the bar and decided it would take a lift time to get served. We left and went down the road to another pub/Restaurant that was busy but more than willing to accommodate us. We won’t be returning to the Boat and Horses again!

Been here several times with family and always enjoyed our meals with friendly efficient service. However decided to call in for lunch yesterday and ordered the cheese and onion pie (which is my favourite). The chips were the worse l have had. Dry old and tasteless. Felt like l had been served a meal left over from the night before.

Well ... what can we say?The staff at this restaurant go above and beyond. Nothing is too much trouble. Extremely polite and friendly and knew their menu and drinks. From Tom, who went the extra mile, to Lyn who was so lovely and friendly too. And all the chefs and staff.... they are an absolute credit to this lovely place.Seriously worth a visit... and the chilli chicken fries are a must! Louise and Aga xx

Popped for a quick bite with a friend this evening. The stuff (especially Tom and Lynne) made us feel like at home, super friendly and helpful. The food was great and portions humongous. We had a super time in a really great atmosphere. Thank you guys!

They do a roast dinner which is quite tasty and the staff are pretty friendly definitely somewhere I would pop in again.

Never been here before but had to pop in on the way past Came in on Sunday afternoon during that windy storm we was having with my family and didn't book but luckily the service of (Danielle) was excellent found us a table very quickly,and am guessing she was a manger as the ladie was making sure her team was on top off everything and making sure they was work to be done also every member off the team had good positive attitude and smiles anyways now on to the food what was the best part off all,we all had the cavery absolutely beautiful meat cooked perfect veg very hot and seasoned nicely and it was all refreshed for when we got there and complements to the chef (Josh) he was very polite funny had a good laugh with us all and was chatting about the boat and horses a lot off positivity anyway also I was even going to embarrass my daughter too as we walked up to the cavery she said the young gentleman was gorgeous and very much her type haha. definitely coming again so (danielle)&(Josh) hopefully will be seeing use and the team again. X

Visited with a friend at 7.30 on a Wednesday had booked in advance for the Restaraunt but needn’t have bothered as there was hardly anyone in .We plumped for the carvery, which was a big mistake . There was ham beef or chicken . We both had the chicken which was served as half a chicken with mash and veg . Everything except the mash was dried up when we began to eat it we couldn’t even though we had put loads of gravy on it . The staff ended up giving us 25% off the bill which wasn’t good enough when we only ate the mash . It probably was very nice in the afternoon - what a shame . Your customers should not be going home hungry when they’ve gone out for a bite to eat!

Just had a lovely carvery at the boat watching the lightning and the storm outside. Didn’t see any leaks so the building is in good condition. Really polite team, the lady who served us found a table that wasn’t booked and was attentive without being over bearing. Food was nice, really good portions of meat and a very tasty Yorkshire, not too sure about the deep fried parsnips but you don’t have to pick them. We’ll be staying for a couple more Guineas and Wine before we leave.

Carvery was amazing, veggies looked nice and fresh, really nice big yorkshire puddings everything was excellent. Its really improved from a few months ago service was great as well attentive and friendly.

Very good service from Hannah. Very attentive and helpful. We had a birthday cake and she brought it out after the pudding for us with candles and even sang with us.

Just back from dinner and must say it was amongst the worse food (I use the word loosely) I'd tasted.

Staying locally for business so wanted a quick bite, carvery came up trumps, fresh and hot and the best beef i had i a long time, nice touch to be able to help yourself to yorkshires. All staff were really friendly and had a good chat with the Manager Brian about his plans for the place. Looks like it will go from strength to strength. Well done

I have to say, I observed excellent interpersonal skills and de escalation techniques by a member of staff tonight at The Boat and Horses. The member of staff, known as Cath, dealt with a difficult customer and set acceptable ground rules with him in order to offer him a service and be mindful of other customers in the bar and restaurant areas. I did personally tell her that I was impressed with her handling of the situation and thought she used good common sense in dealing with it.

Had the carvery today and was very disappointed. The meats were dry and overcooked while the veggies were raw and undercooked. I sincerely hope they use a better chef on Sundays and bank holidays to justify the extra £2 price.

We had booked a table to arrive at 12:45 for 8 of us, for our work Christmas dinner. When we arrived the hostess was very rude in just waving us to our table. When we then went to order we were told that they had ran out of food! We were told that as they had served lots of groups who had turned up with no bookings that they had served then we would have to wait at least 30-45 minutes. Suffice to say this was not acceptable so we left to go somewhere else. This has left us all disappointed and we would not look to return to Boat and Horses!

Booked here for our annual work xmas dinner only 8 of us, we arrived and were swiftly pointed to our table !

Visited here with a former colleague and friend for a catch up and a business chat.

Just fealt like a nice Steak and Ale pie so went in The Rose of Lancaster but seems it had been hammered during the day and we were given an A4 sheet of paper with it seems of what they had left ( no pie ) so we decided to try the Boat,big mistake had a quick drink in the Rose 1 pint of bitter and a small glass of lemonade and lime got change out of a fiver which is about right got in the Boat was over £6 same drink now the bitter was £3,05p so quite an expesive lemonade.My wife had Pork chop with maple syrup on whic was basically a slice of gammon £13.45 i tried the steak pie £11.45p which measured about 5ins by 4ins by 1 inch depth full of what seemed a un seasoned suet pastry 1inch in depth with a few pieces of meat in it frozen chips,garden peas the worst pie i have eaten and the most expensive.No salt on the table ,empty sauce bottles not worth our hard earned cash give it a miss.

Visited for lunch with family on a Friday. it was quite busy and we were told there’d be a wait when we ordered our food. The wait wasn’t as long as we were told to anticipate, which was good news. However, when it arrived, it was very disappointing. The onion rings were literally swimming in a pool or grease and were sent back (a refund was kindly provided). The chips were soggy and looked like oven chips, rather than the home cooked advertised on the menu. Won’t be rushing back.

We were a large booking all for the carvery and included one vegetarian on an early Sunday afternoon. Service could have been a little better, but were clearly understaffed. One waitress was either lazy or didn't know what was expected of her. Having said that, food was of good quality and tasty. Eventually, a bar manager did clear our plates so that deserts could be had. We were never rushed and enjoyed our afternoon. Would we go again... yes we would and will.

Ate here about 1.30 pm for our lunch. Large dining area available to choose from. But had to ask staff to call the chef to serve us with our carvery. The half chicken was delicious but some of the vegetables looked liked they needed changing for fresh !

Had the Cheese and Onion Pie with chunky chips and garden peas.

Visited a few weeks back and was stood at the bar for 5 minutes ignored by the bar maid and the manager while they bad mouthed their workplace, which I didn't find very professional.

went for carvery and to be blunt it was absolutely terrible, all veg was stone cold undercooked,lukewarm food beef looked as though it had been cremated,how on earth can they get away serving this rubbish, i read comments from other people saying it was lovely i think they need there tastebuds looking into, never again will i visit there

Went here today for a meal with the wife and daughter seated quickly then asked would we like a drink when the drinks arrived we ordered food I had fish and chips with curry sauce my wife had the carvery and my daughter had steak and ale pie all was excellent and good prices well worth a visit

Visited this afternoon for some lunch, first time visiting but will more than likely be the last... Quick service at the bar from the staff and a good selection of drinks available. The food however was a let down, the pasta was lukewarm and its accompanying garlic bread was cold. The carvery was ok however required improvment as some of the veg was cold, the gammon was also unavailable when I was ordering; staff brought over a plate when it was done for me but this was maybe 10 minutes after I'd begun eating the meal. Really disappointed as all of the staff and the pub itself were lovely but wouldnt really want to chance going again as its not the cheapest for a below par meal.

Stopped off here instead of Toby in a rush as it was so close to the motorway. Grabbed a table and ordered two carvery’s including a small plate for my daughter.

Have called here before when in the area when it was ok but not this time.

Visited here for Sunday Lunch on our way home. The Sunday lunch was really nice, plenty of meat and a large selection of vegetables to choose from, the yorkshire pudding are really large and there was different sauces to go with the meat, everything was hot. We hadn't booked but a table was quickly found for us even though the place was extremely busy. We will be going there again.

Went to the boat & horses for our evening meal Tuesday evening as we had our granddaughter with us, omg what a change from the last time we came!! Myself and my husband had the pate starter which was very bitter and was served with a supposedly tomato chutney (it was cheap salsa) and my granddaughter had vegetable soup which can only be described as a bowl of gritty mush, (she wouldn't eat it) we then all had the carvery, what a mistake that was!!! The meat was big chunks of dried up meat, it was so tough you could've repaired your shoes with it!!! The mash was just a big lump that you had to dig into and hope you found a soft spot and the vegetables were even worse, it was obvious that they hadn't been changed in quite a while and had been left to dry out under the heat lamps, needless to say we all left most of our food, it's such a shame that the food has deteriorated so much, we've been going to the boat & horses for the last few years because we always enjoyed the food but unfortunately we will be not be returning again

Had large fish and chips with the wife , very clean and quick service will go again for Sunday lunch.

Sunday is always very busy but we only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table.

Special treat to take our elderly aunt and uncle for Sunday lunch. The carvery was tasteless. The braised steak pie had more pastry than meat content, frozen chips. The price for the carvery was a little steep at £16. Had much better. Although the staff were very attentive. Credit where's it's due. Food has so much room for improvement. Won't be visiting again unfortunately.

Had a long overdue family get-together and decided to meet for tea at The Boat and Horses. We’d been before but never left a review. No complaints from any of us!! Bar service was spot on and quick. Food was reasonably priced for generous portions and again very good service from the young waiter Niall; a very pleasant young man who served us with a smile on his face as well as a bit of banter to go with it. Keep up the good work. 10/10 all round.

Called here at a family meal. We had a couple of tables reserved and it was a good job. The majority of us asked for table service and I'm glad we did.One other person went to the carvery and was queuing for nearly 15 mins.We had almost finished our meal when he came back.

Had a roast dinner here mid week and it was a carvery I had the half chicken and it was huge. I ended up taking the chicken home and had it the next day.

Visited this pub but after waiting at the bar for 10 minutes spoke to 2 ladies complaining that they had waited over 30 minutes for their food. I asked how long food would be if I ordered now and the manageress said at least an hour probably longer. Needless to say I didn't order and neither did the 2 people behind me. Obviously have enough money coming in not to worry about loosing parties of people.

Walked in being ignored by every member of the staff. After waiting on the table to be served I asked a waitress and she said that I needed to order at the bar. At the bar, one very stressed lady does her best to serve a massive amount of customers on her own. Queued at the bar for a good 20 mins, when I return to my table they are actually serving on the tables.

Today I brought my daughter to the boat and horses, chadderton for a quick bite before work.

Really had a nice food better than the one i had the other day at the beefeater will come more regularly Thanks

Just visited with hisband and grandaughter for lunch without reading reviews, food lukewarm, looked like it had been microwaved. Mash on grandaughters instead of husbands so we had to swap, husband said his steak and ale pie was nice but that was all. Chicken burger very dry and lukewarm, only thing that was good was onion ring and grandaughters icecream. Staff really nice and friendly, tables and ledges need a good clean as everywhere we touched was very sticky

I have just visited the Boat and Horses , Broadway, Chadderton

Been several times but what a disappoint this visit was ordered several thing's from menu well i tried but nowt left to order. This was 6 30 ish so you would think full menu still available but no had to leave and go elsewhere very disappointed

The menu wasnt the best very limited and the prices were expensive. I ordered the minute steak baguette which when it came it looked like the cow should still be running round the field, the chips were frozen and the majority of them were hard, the onion rings were disgusting think it was the batter/ oil they were cooked in and the price for two small.bottles of coke was extortionate. All in all my worst experience every. Very disappointed would definitely not recomend

Came today to take clients out for lunch , 2 of us had a carvery , one haf a pasta dish that did look nice the other a childs meal , never seen such a small portion. Anyway back to the carvery, the mash was lumpy like huge raw lumps , veg was hard nice to see stuffing in a serve yourself dish rather than stuffing balls but this was clumpy . I had refill drinks . Bar staff where friendly though . One waitress was a bit miserable though. Would i try again? Doubt it .Nice to eat outside though .

We just poppped in for a drink on our first night at our hotel as it was the nearest real ale pub in walking distance from our hotel. Clean, staff helpful and a couple of good real ales.

We visit the boat and horses regularly as the food is half decent and the calvery affordable. What I will say is on every visit the staff seem more intent on chatting with others or off duty staff letting their kids run riot as your trying to relax and eat after grafting all day rather than mixing with customers to the point where you feel like your an inconvieniance to them as they earn a wage of your lack of consideration.

From the outside this looks like a lovely pub, looks can be deceiving. The place feels like it’s being run by kids. All staff bar one were unfriendly and quite frankly not bothered. We had the carvery BIG MISTAKE! The whole meal was luke warm, the mashed potato had lumps of raw potato, the roast potatoes her white and soggy, the Yorkshire puddings looked like they had been ran over. For £10.95 there’s much better places to eat in the area.

We have eaten here on a number of occasions for lunch and Sunday Carvery. Always found the staff to be friendly, helpful and polite. Food is freshly cooked, nicely presented and very reasonably priced. Will be returning and would recommend.

We visited the boat and horses with our two children 4 and 2 we all had a carvery which went down very well even for the fussy children. The food was beautiful and staff even gave us a plate and some meat for the baby which was lovely as when we’ve been to other places we’d have to take off of our own. The interior looks newly decorated with a deck facing out onto the canal. As for the environment it was really pleasant and inviting. It’s the perfect place for a Sunday lunch!

Met with friends for lunch on Saturday, not very busy and somewhat lacking in atmosphere. There’s a good choice of food on the menu and two of the group had the carvery and said it was good, two of us had the cheese pie and frankly it was very bland. Service was fine, though little interaction other than taking our order.

Took my wife for lunch on the 12th April our server Danielle was brilliant she sorted my wife out with what she could eat as she is gluten intolerant she suggested that she could have the battered holumi as they used gluten free flour she went to see the chef and he told her he could not guarantee the chips. They could be cross contaminated as he had only been in that day so she suggested that she had a jacket potato she is a credit to your company if all your other staff are as good you have a good training policy and what I witnessed you have no problems the staff looked happy and that transferred to the whole pub

Visited the establishment on Saturday afternoon, we had booked a table so were seated straight away. The general surroundings are nice and pleasant and the service was ok. I ordered the chicken BLT and it was pretty rubbish for the price (£9.95), the only thing I could taste was the griddle that the tiny piece of chicken had been cooked on. The bacon was also cold and fatty. Quite disappointing. Likewise, the portion sizes of the rest of the group's orders didnt really reflect the price unfortunately. That being said, the carvery station looked good and would try this if I visited again.
