Owd Betts in Rochdale

Fantastic staff, food, and friendly locals. Stunning location. Great place!

Lovely old country boozer with log fire.

Lovely atmosphere staff wonderful and food good to

I only took one star off for service because we were asked too many times if we were ready to order whilst we were having a drink BEFORE our meal. I know it's uncommon but we had arrived early so wanted a coffee and to just relax by the fire for a bit first.

Really nice staff happy to chat about the history of the building. Food was served in good time and was delicious.

Awesome food, service and decent price!

Must be one of the best pub/restaurants in the area . Visited many times and found the food always exceptional . Friendly & knowledgeable staff really add to the experience. A real fire in winter adds to the ambiance. Highly recommended for all occasions.

Great food, great view and lovely staff

Popped in on Sunday and found it busy, but they managed to squeeze us in, with just a little wait. It was most definitely worth the wait as the Sunday lunch was absolutely amazing. Probably the best I've ever had. I would have had pudding, but just didn't have room after such an amazing/ large lunch. All staff were so friendly and polite. Will definitely be going back.

Amazing spot for, hike, pondering, and a general night of chillin in the car with the ones you love blasting tunes

I visited the Owd Betts inn a long while back . Finally got round to visiting Owd Betts inn again today 22/08/2024. I can honestly say it’s a great country inn . The open fire was alight when we went in which was fantastic as it was quite breezy outdoors and chilly . We actually booked a table as it can get really busy . We was shown to our seats by a lovely member of staff, Our drinks order was taken. We were then left to look through the menu . My grandson chose the cheese & tomato pizza with chunky chips from the kids menu . I choose onion pie with chunky chips and beans , my mother chose rag pudding chunky chips and peas . Well I can say we all cleared our plates not a drop left on them . The food we had was absolutely delicious everyone meal was cooked to perfection. The staff were so nice to us made us feel very welcome . We shall definitely be calling back again in the near future .

Absolutely fantastic food served by friendly staff. A great place in a beautiful location.

Great staff, great food, great food, great views over a great place

Great little place overlooking a reservoir good menu there signature cheese and onion pie is a must.

Always a nice relaxed pint and atmosphere. Love sitting out with a drink and amazing views

Lovely stop off from a nice walk. Excellent lunch followed by ice cream and coffee. I dont want to go home!

Good food reasonable prices will be back

A delightful traditional pub, "unspoiled" - in the nicest possible way. Menu not extensive but hogh quality and offering something for everyone including substantial snacks and sandwiches. Three cask ales in good condition plus all the usual stuff. Service charming and attentive, piped music mostly absent or quietly unobtrusive, a definite plus point! This could become my first choice hereabouts...

Fabulous food and drink 🍻 great atmosphere and good people!

Really enjoyed visiting this very old pub which has a fantastic atmosphere.

Had the Sunday lunch very nice hime cooked food would definitely recommend

We have been to Aud Betts every time we come to the UK and the food is always excellent as is the service.The fire was going as it was a usual English summer cold and wet.Very cosy.

Lovely place and atmosphere, staff really good at their job, was up there last Sunday walking, stopped off for a bite to eat and drink, highly recommend.

I had fish chips and pea the meal was outstanding there service was quick and as a first time Customers we felt like we been going there for a while. We will be back again. Keep up the good work and see you all soon x

After a really nice walk around the wind farm this was just the place to come. Outstanding food and service - we will be back.

Had a lovely meal, service was good and food was lovely. Has a nice beer garden as well

Great place to go for a meal, the food was excellent. Sunday Roast done to a very high standard. Wonderful service and friendly staff and it is in a lovely setting with fantastic views

I want to say a massive thank you to all the staff for making my Dad's birthday so special. We was a party of 8 and needed wheelchair access, nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. Highly recommend going there and we certainly will be returning. Thanks again

Lovely food, pleasant friendly staff and oh a coal fire for the best atmosphere and smell

Such a beautiful old English pub. Very cosy with fire burning, candles on tables. We were instantly welcomed and the waitress/bar tender was very warm and friendly. The food was amazing we went with her recommendations it was very traditional and very tasty food. 😋

Really lovely, all the staff are very attentive, the food is amazing, I have the poached chicken roulade, absolutely beautiful one of the best meals I've had, I will give it 10/10. Thank you all.

A very welcoming pub for younger kids and dogs alike!

Lovely food and staff nice old pub

A decent view across Ashfield Moor reservoir. Inside there’s two rooms both to the left and right set up for dining. Small area in the middle for drinkers and three tables out front adjacent to a car park for sitting out in the sunshine. Pint of wainwright tasted decent.

I had Betty's hot pot which was very tasty, would definitely recommend

A gem of a pub, great beer, food looks good, and the views are pretty tasty...

Only popped in for a drink... First time in 15 years... Goodness knows why I left such a gap. This is one of the most honest, traditional, great value pubs around these parts. Glad to see it's still got the same atmosphere it had 40 years ago

Lovely views Muddy in places Very uneven huge area to explore

Really nice place here. Food was brilliant and perfectly placed for before or after a walk in the area!

The food was amazing and the staff were lovely. Delt with our 8 person crew brilliantly. Thank you!

Since the last time I visited. The place looks fresher and more relaxed. I have to say, if you go for food you won't leave hungry. The food is spot on and plentiful. I had the rag puddin, it was sensational. And you have to try the Frickles, you can thank me later. If you manage to visit on a nice sunny day they views are beautiful

Burger van in the lay-by. Nice guy, plenty of choice, Just what you need on a cold day. Prices are outstanding love it..

Amazing place, very welcoming, lovely food. I'd highly recommend going if you're near by 100%

Absolutely one of the Best Sunday roast we had as a family, great portion sizes. I'm gluten free, and they were very accommodating, with a separate menu. It was delicious 😋 Will be back again soon

Great staff, really enjoyed the pie specials (on for national pie week). Also, actually dog friendly, not just accepting - brought a tray of meet out for them (after checking with us). Ideal spot for after a good walk. Was busy when we left, Saturday 14:00, so would recommend calling to book a table for food. Although they where still accomodating walk-ins for couples. We'll be returning.

Delicious well priced Sunday lunch that came with all the trimmings. The staff were also very friendly. Well worth a visit.

Couldn't fault it, welcoming, friendly pub the Friday steak deal is a winner. Great food, great staff, great place

Great food and service with excellent views.

Staff are welcoming, helpful and attentive without being overbearing. Menu has some irresistible starters and hearty, flavour-packed mains. Sitting in the middle of several options for picturesque walks, it's possible to either work to an appetite or stride off the meal. Well worth a visit

Very nice but lamb hotpot short of gravy

This is the first time in year's that we stopped off at Owd Betts for a spot of lunch and what a superb meal we had, the Cheese and onion pie was amazing service was very attentive nothing too much trouble with staff being friendly and welcoming, there's a very cosy atmosphere especially with the fire roaring away. I can thoroughly recommend stopping off there with a good selection on the menu along with some excellent beers. Prices are reasonable especially when you consider the excellent quality of the food. The place is dog friendly and plenty of parking is available. We will certainly be back.

THE CHEESE AND ONIONPIE TOP NOTCH THE CHIPS TOPNOTCH MUSHYPEAS TOP NOTCH SERVICE 👌

Legendary Country Inn which doesn't didapppint.

Pork and black pudding bob bons where delicious, if you've never tried freckles I'd recommend them. The mixed grill was plenty but the meat a little fatty.

Great food as always and really lovely staff. Love the fire as you walk in, very cosy. X

Changed many hands over my years but definitely a place to have a nice meal especially after a long walk up in the hills. The service is fantastic! Support your local!!!

Lovely food and atmosphere and the staff are lovely too. The food was lovely and good portions for the price, would definitely recommend

I have been coming to this pub for years after a hike in the hills and have never been disappointed. The food is home made and delicious, the servers are all fantastic. Dog friendly and at the moment a cozy Christmas vibe. Proper traditional English pub!

Not value for money. Expensive for basic pub grub

Food was lovely.log fire 🔥 cheese pie was fantastic. It's a very busy book .

Was a lovely family orientation pub, with friendly beautiful people, food was delicious and we looked after really well, will definitely be coming back again xx

Good country pub, log fire, real ale and lovely food.

Always good food, cosy warm and friendly pub.

Good beer and friendly staff in a traditional pub full of character

Nice food and good service ans staff.

Lovely place to spend a wet Saturday afternoon

Food was shocking never before have a had a steak so salty and gristly the gammon was like cardboard worst mix grill I've come across its was like re heated meat the chips where good that's bout it really won't be returning 2nd time the food has been poor.. Good atmosphere friendly staff

Sunday lunch was excellent, one of the best I've had x

Was closed when I was there but opposite was a good layby for motorhome parking.

It was really lovely but the food wasn’t hot enough for both me and my partner. It got zapped in the microwave which was still tasty but veg needs to be hotter for sure

Great service, lovely atmosphere, but the Sunday roast was terrible, every item was disappointing, the beef was tough, the gravy was watery, the Yorkshire pud was overcooked, the broccoli undercooked, the mash was cold and the roast potatoes soggy. Very disappointed. The beer was good though...

Outstanding food, beautiful scenery and great history

As always great place for food and drink, staff are amazing too 👌

We popped in here after geocaching locally. The rag pudding was superb!!

We visited tonight to remember our mum on her first Birthday in Heaven - she loved the cheese pie here so we asked the restaurant to save us four portions. The food, atmosphere and staff were amazing! We had a lovely time with lots of laughs and good memories. Thankyou to the team for a lovely evening x

3 Delicious meals, fish & chips best I have ever had ,served with mushy peas and tartar sauce, my partner had the mixed grill, it beat him ! And my mother-in-law had cheese and onion pie, she said it was delicious, we came upon Owd Betts by chance and so glad we stopped,the staff are very friendly and the restaurant has plenty of character . Definitely worth travelling the 2 hr drive to go again.

Great place for a great steak dinner, friendly but respectful staff. Old traditional looking pub but with contemporary qualities. Arrived early evening so less busy and quiet enough to hear yourself speak. Checked for preferences and the menu is changed often. Friday nights is steak night and booking a table will avoid disappointment, as they say 'up north' !!!

Very nice and cozy little pub and lots of history behind it. Enjoyed having a few drinks. Food looked good too. Will taste it next time!

Nice enough place, food ok, however my friend and myself finished our meal and took our drinks into the beer garden, where we were chased for payment of meal, we had asked if it was ok to take our drinks into the beer garden, and the answer was yes. I found this rude, and unprofessional. Customers be aware, they don't trust you!!!!

Enjoyable visit, beer kept very well, Sunday roast was decent, service very good, very friendly folk. The décor had a proper 70s vibe to it. They had Wainwright, Doombar and a very good point of Hopsack from Phoenix. Whiskies very limited choice. Would happily go back.

Lovely little pub meals are superb I really enjoy a ride out on Sunday on motorbike.

Came here Sunday, place was clean, friendly and food was spot on. The pork crackling was lovely and light

Such a lovely pub. The food was amazing and the staff are very friendly. The manager makes you feel at home and is very welcoming. Will definitely be coming back.

The attentive, precise,friendly service we recieved was outstanding. The food was delicious and the ambiance generated by the surroundings and good natured staff was brilliant. Would highly recommend a visit.

Didn't eat fully booked for food, had a pint lovely old place

Didn't have food this time but going back definitely. X

I would say I visit here 3-4 times a year and can't remember having a bad meal. Friendly service and good atmosphere in this 18th Century pub. Well worth a visit.

Welcome pub while out walking in the area

Good choices on the menu. Excellent meal. Pleasant, attentive staff. Cosy pub.

Love this place ,it is always a highlight to go to summer or winter, when I travel to the UK from NZ. The walks from the pub are equally as impressive :)

Friendly staff loverly food and the beer was spot on .

Nice place with a nice atmosphere. The food was good and the staff are pleasant.

Called in on way to somewhere else. Great Inn, good choice of beer and excellant food. Polite and pleasant staff

Was lovely... I literally only just called in to use the rest room but the staff was very polite and friendly. I'll be returning for food in the future 😋

Great food, cosy atmosphere, friendly staff.

Beautiful country pub. Food was outstanding. Staff made us very welcome. Outstanding

although the pub was busy with the sunny weather they found us a table ,food was excellent and good choice of beer ,bonus is excellent view if your sat outside

Absolutely beautiful food. Excellent service. We don't usually go out for Sunday lunch but we had visitors who wanted to take us out. We drive past Owd Betts frequently decided to go there. What a treat it was too. Thank you for the delicious food and excellent service.

Love this place. Great food and great views. Great atmosphere and really friendly staff. Can't fault it.
