Greene's Bistro & Parlour Uppermill in Oldham

We visited here today as a family, I couldn’t believe the lack of customer service. We had to ask for everything three times, we waited a long time for food and were then told that we didn’t have enough time on the table to order desserts, this was despite us arriving 15 minutes early. The poor service made the average food seem extremely expensive.

We went as a famiy for a late brunch on a lovely sunny day when the roof at Greenes was rolled back.The breakfasts were OK although the sausages were poor quality (more like mass produced hamburger ones) and there were potato balls instead of hash browns. I was also not a fan of thethick sour dough toast. Service by local college kids was exemplary. Our server was almost embarassed to accept a tip. The highlight of the meal though had to be the ice cream. This must be the best ever and superior to HD. The brownie and Oreo sundae were out of this world. In school holidays and when the weather is fine it is a nightmare to find anywhere to park in Uppermill. Get a bus if you can.

If the location and interior were not as nice this would be more like a 2* for us. We came to dine with you one afternoon, the average coffees took about 20 minutes to arrive, food was also very average - my partner didn’t like the chicken baguette at all and he’s fairly easy to please. We walk our dog here often and on another occasion decided to order take out drinks, which took honestly about half an hour to order and then for you to make, you then gave us the wrong coffee. I ordered a cake, got home and it was the wrong cake. Staff seem very young and rushed off their feet with not much management happening.

Basil Fawley level’s if service. Avoid unless you want to wait to 45 minutes for your flat white. Staffed by young girls who are lethargic at best.

Father's day treat. Overall good experience although mine and my Dads poached eggs were hard and overdone. Tainted the breakfast, particularly the eggs Benedict. Disappointing.

First ice cream stop on arriving up North and they didn't disappoint. Grandpa Green was definitely high on the agenda, so we hen we went for a stroll through Uppermill and stumbled across this lovely beautifully presented establishment we had to check it out. Great ambience, fresh cool vibe going and overlooking a lively green. We decided to sit down for our ice cream as you can access the side hatch/kiosk (catch kiosk that is) or be civilised and take a pew in the bistro bit. We had plans for dinner, but whilst we waited for our ice cream the good being served looked absolutely mouth watering and to die for. Next time we are in town we will definitely be coming back for more than just ice cream . PS the only let down was the edible ice cream tub. Wouldn't recommend that your better off with a proper cone or a normal tub.
