Junction Inn in Oldham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Love how they are so dog friendly ,the weekend girl who collects glasses never fails to ask if our dog needs a drink .

Came upon this place as we went for a walk that we've never done before and I'm so glad we found it! We were welcomed, seated and served fantastic food. Service was outstanding, food was amazing - super tasty, huge portion size too alongside a brilliant gluten free menu. They also have a dog menu!!!! It's not "around the corner" for us but it's definitely worth the trip!

Very quiet as a Monday but fish and chips were lovely

Lovely staff, lovely reasonably priced food Will be visiting again soon

Good service, and the food was excellent. The steak and ale pie's probably the best I've had.

Really great homecooked food, with lovely service. Recommended

I'd read about their pies but I still wasn't ready for this! Not for the faint-hearted! But, plenty of other stuff on the menu which looked good - from peeking at other tables.

What a great pub,the food is excellent and tge staff are very welcoming, on the Sunday we didn't have a booking but they squeezed us in.The menu is extensive,covering every aspect of the cuisine,being g Sunday I had the roast of the day and my wife had the sea bass,could not fault tge food and service.

Only stopped in for a drink. Lovely staff excellent beer. Also the toilets are exceptionally clean.

Love this place, always book when we are up visiting family and never fails. Always greeted by friendly help staff. It's not and extensive menu but has something for everyone. Service and food are always outstanding and great value too. Pub it's self is beautiful and old charm and this is carried through inside with the decor.

First time coming here, the place was rammed , the service was good & the food was great 👍

Been here a few times now with friends and family. Food is always excellent, good selection of drinks, some outside seating, and also dog friendly. More than happy to recommend this place.

Really nice atmosphere. Lovely friendly staff and the food was out of this world. We popped in without booking and they were booked up but said we could have a table but they needed it for a booking in an hour. We took it and I'm so glad we did... I've found my new favourite place to eat! All the staff look very professional and efficient. We were served quickly and the food was piping hot. We got the beef Sunday roast which was absolutely delicious. Then we had the ginger and apple dessert and my only regret there was that we shared it!! We will be back. Very highly recommended.

Great little stop-off - highly recommended 👍🏻

Called in on the drive back to Manchester for something to eat. The service was spot on and the food was fist class. Friendly helpful staff and reasonable prices for food and drink.

Beautiful, immaculate interiors. Feels very high-end. Ordered the burger which was brilliant. Seamless service from start to finish.

Lovely food, especially the Sunday roast!!! The service is excellent too. I Would definitely return.

Excellent food and excellent service

Just had a lovely meal. The staff are lovely and caring, one of our party was unwell and had to leave. The staff were fantastic will definitely be back. Make sure you are hungry when you visit as the portions are large. We will definitely be back

Great pub to go food excellent staff really friendly and a great atmosphere dog friendly also having celiac it's great having somewhere close to home that has a good gluten free menu

We stopped off here for a drink after a walk in the surrounding area, initially having our drink in the sunny beer garden out at the front before finishing off inside once it got a bit cooler. The beer garden at the front is on the roadside but is well maintained and has some nice views of the hills just behind - also seems like it's quite a sun trap 🌞 Once inside, we were so impressed with the decor of the pub, a perfect mix of old world charm, inviting and cosy with very clear attention to detail paid throughout. We will definitely be back for a meal in the future and couldn't recommend visiting here enough. Friendly staff who were also lovely to our dog who was welcomed into certain areas of the pub too. (Dog friendly. Beer garden. Family friendly. Pub meals.)

Manchester craft beers and a pie the size of a house brick! Rarely am I out done by pastry, and this was excellent pastry but the amount of meat and pastry finished me off! Everyone's food was very good, dogs were fussed, and the atmosphere is cosy and friendly.

I had the "butcher's board" (£20) for lunch. Chicken wings were awful; like rubber and I think they'd just been thrown into a deep gfat fryer. Crispy duck was anything but; mushy, moist and tasteless. Sausages tasted of....... erm nothing. Garlic bread - the most bland I've ever had. Kofta was ok. Polite feedback was given to the waitress but don't think the slightest bit of notice was taken. Went to wash hands; no liquid soap in dispenser and no alternative. Asked a waitress for some; she mentioned it to the landlord who didn't move from his seat in another room. The waitress kindly brought me some in a glass from the kitchen. Won't be going back here.

Defo the best place to eat, fantastic food always and we go most weeks 👍

Lovely pub food amazing lovely friendly waitress from a scoucer & a manc !! 10/10

Food was first class and service was great, definitely going back again, back 3 times now 😀 this time thought I'd try the Steak and Ale pie and it was lovely, plenty of tender beef 😋 well worth the little travel time

Excellent food cooked fresh. Very friendly staff

Great pint of Lee's bitter, heavenly fish n chips + classic location. 10/10

Great place, really dog friendly, I've had a number of good meals here, only small point is sometimes a bit slow with the bill.

We went for my Mum’s birthday last week. The booking was for 18 people. When we arrived we were seated in 2 booths and a table. We had to sit 2 people on the end or there would have been 2 people excluded from sitting near us. The waitress came over and took the first tables order, the second order was children’s and before the third table ordered the first tables food arrived. The food was very staggered as by the time the third tables food had arrived the first table had finished. The children’s chicken nuggets came out different (some nuggets, some chunks and some a mix). The staff were friendly and helpful just not great for a large booking. The meal had been booked in advance so it was slightly disappointing the experience we received.

Nice relaxing place to meet up.

Disappointed. Booked a table, 5 mins after we arrived we were pushed to order because 'there was another party after us'. Drinks service was quick, so was starters. Huge delay until mains, however the food was very hit and miss. Chicken Wings were disgusting and hardly had any chicken on, lamb koftas were dry and tough, sausages seemed freezer bought rubbish, pie was stacked but the pastry inedible, chicken katsu had one good bit of chicken and one terrible bit. Puddings were a bit bland. Worst of all the maitre'd was just strange. She had no positivity, didn't ask how we were or how it was, couldn't seem to get rid of us quick enough, she was just a very strange presence and by the end, we all thought we had pissed her off without having done anything wrong - even the kids were well behaved. The rest of the waitresses were lovely and willing to help. Very disappointed as we were really looking forward to this.

Meet up with friends. Tuesday night visit. Lovely spacious dog friendly pub. Service great, 1st day for a new member of staff & she did really well. Crispy duck wrap starter, very good & not a morsel left. I had the fish platter, massive & all really well presented & cooked. Hard to fault. £30 per person including couple of drinks & coffee, all in all that’s good value for quality food & service.

Very nice food . Staff very friendly and welcoming . Always a pleasure to visit this establishment we have been many times and never been disappointed.

Been a couple of times now for a meal , it was a toss up between the rag pudding or chicken dinner for me .....husband had the rag , I had the chicken dinner and I have to say its probably the BEST Sunday roast I've ever had AND it was only £15 😋

Late lunch following a dog walk and it was lovely. They happily accommodated 3 people and 4 dogs. Good sized portions for dog treats of chicken and sausages. Steak and ale pie was suet pastry and loads of melt in the mouth steak and the rag pudding was well received as well. We followed up with a couple of sticky toffee puddings with custard, very tasty and enough to share after a very filling main course. We haven’t been for a bit but it was good and we will definitely be back again.

Lovely atmosphere, pleasant and prompt service, great food at a reasonable price. Could be a useful meal stop off the M62 J22.

Great place to eat out food was excellent and our waitress was really helpful and friendly.

Not been for a while and used to be a lot better. Cider tasted flat . For some reason they like to save the proper glasses for beer on the top shelf and serve half pints in those awful long plain glasses made for soft drinks . Please don’t do that it’s very off putting . Half a craft should be in a proper beer glass you have lots of them so use them. Food just ok used to be a lot better not sure what’s changed

Some biker friends and me stuck here during a snowstorm, they welcomed us dirty bunch openly and the service was fantastic.

A lovely cosy and very friendly place. we was welcomed by very friendly staff there was 10 of us and nothing was too much, the food was lovely the best Sunday lunch and plentiful. Thank you for a lovely day we all enjoyed it very much.

Called in on the chance there was a free table for a hot sandwich and drink as we have been several times before and it’s usually good Was shown to table ordered food which wasabi two sandwiches on beef baguette and fish sandwich sandwiches arrived short time later looked impressive however the beef baguette was more fat than beef what could be salvaged and as staff came to ciear the plates we mentioned the large amount of fat found in the dry baguette to the member of staff , she didn’t apologise and only said she’d mention it to the chief as we paid for the food the same staff member said the chief wood look at it but I’m sure he’d have looked at it as he put it on the baguette, it was disappointing that they still didn’t apologise or offer a reduction in in price of the food It’s put is off going there again and feel that others should be mindful if they go there

Lovely little pub, very cosy interior and looks like the outside seating area would be nice in the summer months. The service was friendly and attentive, food was very good - other half had the comfort haddock and I had the cheese and onion pie. There’s a lot of pubs in this area with great pies but pleased to say this was up there with the better ones. It was also nice to see a couple of dishes that I’ve not seen elsewhere like rabbit and a game hot pot which I’d like to try next time. Only slight grumble was the chicken nuggets on the kids menu seemed just like frozen ones where some other pubs we visit have been using “home made” ones….not that our daughter complained, she still enjoyed them. All in all, worth a visit and would go back.

Pre-Xmas meal with family. Very good

I broke down on the junction and these guys were great. They let me use their facilities and gave me a warm drink. Later when I was waiting for the RAC I came in for lunch and had what I can only describe as the best (and biggest!) steak pie I’ve ever had!

Fantastic food fair prices and good service good atmosphere and logs fire just perfect it is a beautiful pub in a very good location also you can come for some nice drinks .

Food outstanding staff very attentive lovely atmosphere very cosy lovely Christmas decorations very inviting

Great food, lovely atmosphere and a very nice plum pudding ale on cask for Xmas.

The food here is second to none, had a steak and was SO delicious, my favourite place to dine these days

We went for a cheeky evening meal at the junction on Thursday. It was busy and everything was great, food , service and atmosphere. We really enjoyed it...will definitely come back 😁

Excellent food from start to finish. Great service and a good selection. The butchers board was a nice change from the usuals. My son and husband said the salt and chicken burger was a winner.

Love this pub, been many of times and always have such a great experience. On our last visit there was a little change to the menus and the food quality was the same as ever. The staff are always lovely and always I recommend the pub to everyone!

Excellent service exceptional food lovely surroundings couldn't ask for anything more

Young staff waiting on very polite and professional very helpful with the menu. Had Sunday lunch beef a little tough to cut and plates hadn't been warmed but the rest was very nice. The landlady was constantly watching us and was very abrupt the Landlord was lovely and very welcoming Dessert was lovely.

Great service, lovley food. One of the group had eaten some food but the beef was no to their liking. No issue exchanged for another meal and no charge. Will be back.

Lovely pub / restaurant. food was amazing with a varied menu, I had the rabbit stew, not had that for years and it was delicious. It was lovely and warm in the restaurant but we were hoping for the fire to be lit. But hopefully next time 😜 only moved to the area 3 months ago and still trying out new places, this is definitely up there with the best so far. We'll be back

Food very good and the staff are very friendly

I was with a fairly large group and we were served well by friendly, efficient staff, my meal was well presented and tasty.

Really nice place. Stumbled past in by chance after a walk around the reservoirs and very glad we did. Muddy paws and boots very much welcome, which is lucky because we had planned to stop at a pub en route but it didn’t welcome muddy walkers! We had vegan meatballs, and a delicious soup. Very reasonably priced and fantastic staff.

A great traditional pub with excellent food and great service.

Happy, helpful staff. Comfortable & clean pub. Great menu, delicious food. Dog friendly.

Were in 4th Nov 23, first time for me but not the people I was with who said it was quieter than normal. The waitress was so so rude and needs customer service training. 3 of the 5 of us don't eat meat and the menu was lacking in meat free options. And what was on offer was dry and poor and missing items that were defined on the menu. How hard is it to buy a bottle of vegan mayonnaise? I won't be coming again there are nicer places in the area.

Top notch food. Lovely surroundings.

Good food, very friendly and attentive staff. Family friendly. Will definitely go again.

A nice and cozy place. Good driving. Parking.

Great food, great price, great location.

Lovely pub these places are very rare to find now,great atmosphere fab interior warm friendly welcome great service and food good prices very clean will definitely stop here again

Great Food the steak and ale pie fantastic could just about get up after it and my wife's rag pudding 🍮 1st class

Always generous portions, lit candles and water on the tables and dog friendly but unfortunately I didn't enjoy my meal this evening and to my surprise not one of the waitresses asked if everything was OK with our meals ☹

The was nine of us in a birthday party yesterday even one said had a lovely meal good old fashioned food, my girlfriend and I come upon it the Junction inn a few months ago she loves the cheese pie

First time here, and it was so nice i had the steak with blue cheese sauce and it was so nice . The staff were so friendly. Definitely recommend. 😊

Definitely one of my favourites! We go here often. Food is bang on each and everytime. Great service all round a gorgeous pub! Highly recommended

Excellent find this pub, warm welcome with cosy surroundings, exceptional food, proper steak pie non of this stew in a pot with pastry lid here, pie with pastry bottom, side and top 10/10

We had a lovely family dinner here. Fast and friendly service. Good food.

Decent pub, clean and welcoming

Great easy going pub Great food and hospitality

Great looking pub, both inside and out side. Food was excellent both the gammon and the rag pudding. The service from the waitress was excellent, she had good knowledge about the food and drink. Apparently JW Lees beer is an aquired taste which my friend lacked, my wine was fine.

Excellent food in a homely atmosphere.

Went for a meal with my husband. It was so delicious, all three courses. Pàte starters, rag pudding chips and mushy peas, followed by ginger and apple cake with ice cream. Staff were lovely and the place was beautiful! Will definitely be going back.

Had a delicious Sunday roast with a group of friends after a relaxing (if drizzly) walk in the beautiful countryside nearby. Its a lovely, traditional English country pub. Service & food are excellent & the prices are not expensive. Will definitely visit again. To all the staff, thanks for your hard work.

Booked birthday meal for 14 at lunchtime, everyone really enjoyed their meal, which was reflected in the healthy tip for the staff. Can, and will, recommend without hesitation. Excellent food, excellent service, excellent ambience.

First time visit whilst visiting family in local area. What a fab find this was! Welcoming, friendly staff, great atmosphere, my meal of pan fried sea bream on a bed of crushed new potatoes was one of the best I've had in ages. Fish & chips is huge! Super dog friendly pub with a doggy menu so our dog got her own meal of sausage & crispy bacon, which she loved. We will definitely be back!

We have visited here many times over the last 18 months and the service and food is always excellent. The pub looks so lovely from the outside especially around Christmas when its lit up. Inside is immaculate too and a lovely peaceful atmosphere.We usually go mid week at lunchtime. One of our favorite places to eat.

Good pub food ok service excellent and staff very helpful 👍

Excellent quality foods and beers lovely pub. Well recommend the fish or steak in ale pie, generous portions, chips are brilliant. Well done all at the junction.

Stopped off for a quick lunch, lovely staff and Dog friendly

Great Sunday roast on a rainy day 🌧️

We passed this pub a few weeks ago when we had been diverted off the M62. It was a sunny day and looked nice so decided to go for lunch next time we were crossing the Pennines. A very worthwhile diversion! We ordered drinks - I had a pint of Lee's "Summer Ale" which tasted a bit tart to me I commented to the lady serving and she offered to exchange (F.O.C.) for the bitter which was fine. The menu was fairly comprehensive and we chose the fish sharing platter. (See 'photo - we had already transferred the hot cod goujons to our plates). It was a lot of food! The lightly-battered cod goujons were fresh out the fryer and was the best batter I have tasted in a long time. Home-made tartare sauce and warm fresh bread. If you are ever crossing the Pennines take the small diversion off the M62 and treat yourself.

Pub is lovely and clean but food was expensive given the size of the portions and menu felt limited to stodgy items. My two daughters (of children’s menu age) both ate off the main menu as they wanted more than the usual kids menu options but both left hungry - as did my two older children and myself and my husband. We visited on the night of the Whit Bands and so put everything down to being busy but we visited again a couple of weeks later for a birthday get together and had the same experience, spent a lot to leave and be hungry again not long after.

Service a bit slow at times but was very busy. Great staff and food. There's even a menu for your dog, mostly based on sausages, ha ha.

A little slow but overall great experience. Thank you

Very nice atmosphere. The food was excellent and service was perfect. Left us alone not hovering over us. Will certainly come back again.

Just dropped in for a couple of pints and a bite. Great service not the run of the mill menu so thoroughly enjoyed a steak rag pudding which with pints came to a well worth £23.20

We were a party 22 including kids The food and service was great

Traditional pub lovely stone walls with nice lighting and spacious. Menus had mix of starters to cater for everyone and lots too choose from the mains and desert...Good portion sizes and reasonably priced...1st time visiting definitely be back 9 of us went all food served together piping hot...service was good too

Stopped off for some lunch. Pleasant staff, good service and nice food. Chips weren't great.

Excellent food and service. We had the butchers platter and creamy garlic mushrooms starter between us and there was plenty of food for 2 as we ended up taking the sausages home. Food was all beautiful and the female member of staff who served us was efficient, helpful and very friendly. A very positive experience. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it and will be returning.

Fabulous pub! If you're travelling past Manchester, stop here. The interior is also beautifully decorated!! But the food was amazing. The chicken & Leek pie is lovely with the gravy & my husband loved his huge piece of fish wish homemade tartar sauce. The waitress was so lovely & attentive also. Great place!

Absolutely lovely little pub restraunt. Great choice of food and drinks

Lovely pub on a busy junction. The staff were friendly and the place was clean and tidy. We both ordered the roast beef Sunday lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The food was all home cooked, no frozen food. Plenty of food as well and good price. We will be back
