Parliament Sq Cafe in Oldham

Decided to pop in for brunch, my eldest son and I had a large breakfast absolutely gorgeous came with Tiger toasted bread very delicious, my youngest son had a margherita pizza, everything fresh, thumbs up, the luxury hot chocolate my son had went down a treat, staff are polite the place is kept very clean, prices are reasonable, we will be returning

Second visit for breakfast here. Lovely, friendly staff, and a great freshly cooked full English breakfast at a reasonable price. Highly recommend. Looking forward to my next visit.

Great location in Oldham. Staff are friendly, happy and helpful. Especially one lady who's normally on the cash/card register. Food was delicious! Waffles is what I had and homemade soup my mum. Nice relaxing atmosphere. Definitely go back when I'm in Town.

Comedy level service to be honest. Nipped in for breakfast giving a simple enough order. Think they forgot us as 25 mins no food arrived. We had to chase them and within 5 mins it had arrived. One meal spot on however the other which was a bacon roll with extras of mushroom and egg arrived without the egg. Took it back and waited… 5 mins later meal arrived back this time the egg was present but the bacon wasn’t!! How a bacon roll could arrive without the bacon I have no idea. Male staff member then started to blame us saying when we went back the 1st time we said mushrooms and egg. Mmm the meal was bacon roll so not really our fault. Not impressed at all which is a shame as the food itself is decent. Staff really below par. Felt more a comedy cafe it was that poor.

Food was absolutely cooked to perfection could not fault anything. Staff were attentative and gave a warm welcome. I have visited this venue at different times and sampled different items from the menu and all have been well made. Keep up the great standards and excellent customer service 👏 👍

Went for a shopping trip with my friend and decided to pop in for lunch! I got some chips and a chocolate milkshake and she got a ham sandwich- good came in 5 minutes and tasted delicious, staff were lovely and incredibly welcoming. Beautiful setting- aesthetic! 5 stars.

We went for the first time today, enjoyed breakfast and coffee, all very good. Small mix-up with the order, but sorted with a smile. Will definitely return

I work in Oldham centre so walk past at least a couple of times a day; it always looks welcoming. Today we got caught in heavy rain so decided to actually eat in somewhere for a change. I was pleasantly surprised with the food. Very tasty, fresh and well presented. I had a marinated chicken panini which was fantastic with a decent cappuccino. Will return.

Highly recommend!Today me and my friend visited parliament sq cafe and deli, we had an amazing time! The place was clean calm and very inviting loved the modern decor plus it was child friendly too! The food was delicious, I thoroughly enjoyed my spanish omelette followed by a scrummy nuttella waffle!The staff and service was swift and brilliant!! The owner went above and beyond to make sure our food was to the highest standard! Superb! We had a lovely time and will back soon! 100% recommend! Thankyou for making it such a lovely experience xxx

This cafe is part of the central Oldham redevelopment near the old town hall. It replaces an old-fashioned building society with a cheerful, modern, glass frontage.I’d say it’s well worth a visit. My wife and I dropped in for lunch recently. We found a flat entrance way, handy for wheelchair users. Under lockdown conditions, we were asked to sign in and use hand sanitiser. Good!The ambience is bright and airy with light-coloured furniture. The huge windowed frontage is great for people watching. There is a good menu choice. My wife and I chose a sweet chilli chicken sharing platter. It was ample for two. There were 8 (I think) breaded chicken breast tenders on a bed of crispy salad leaves, all drizzled with sweet chilli sauce. In the centre was a bowl of cooling mayo dip. We enjoyed it.We had decaf coffees, which the chatty, friendly, owner described as being quite special. The coffee grounds came in individual foil sachets to guarantee freshness. Actually, that’s pretty standard in dedicated coffee shops. However, it was sufficiently special here to cost an extra 30p. Ouch!Service was prompt, friendly, and generally commendable all round. Cutlery came wrapped in paper napkins for hygiene. Strangely though, there was still a condiments and cutlery station available for anyone to cough or sneeze over. The owner had a justification for it being there, which was reasonable, but we agreed to differ on its presence.As it is an old building, there is no possibility of an accessible toilet on the main level. Facilities are down a short flight of stairs - manageable for most people, but impossible for wheelchair users, or those with particularly poor mobility.Good for lunches or take-out snacks. Reasonably priced. Caring staff. Good location. Give them a go...

One of those mornings were we had a late start before shopping so we decided to eat out. We had passed this place several times but never had the time to try. So this was an ideal time to give it a try. Our verdict was an excellent choice. The place is spotless and very comfortable with very nice staff. I had the full breakfast which was served to your table nice and fresh. The price was a very reasonable £5.00 and my wife had a toasted currant teacake. for what you get and was very good. My only gripe is that it's time places like this give a thought to the inflated price they charge on hot drinks. Surely if these were halved when dining customers would ask for a second drink to finish of a lovely meal. But overall yes we will definitely be doing this again.

Visited a few weeks ago with my husband and our 6 year old nephew, the Cafe itself was lovely and clean and the staff really friendly. The food was nothing more than average for a cafe, although the menu was very small. The prices really shocked me though, for two mediocre panini’s with tiny salads and a child’s sandwich, plus two Pepsi and a water, it came to almost £25! I’m not quite sure how they can justify charging that? I’ve paid less in central London. Definitely won’t be returning.

Came here for breakfast with friends and I can honestly say that it was the best breakfast I've had for a long long time, sausage was excellent quality bacon not to salty, only down side was there was no hash browns I'll be back soon to try the artisan pizzas

The surroundings 10/10 - the place was nice, it wasn’t too busy or loud. My 7 year old son hates really loud and busy places so this was the perfect place. The food and drinks 7/10 - I’ve got to say I was a little disappointed with the food. I had the steak sandwich with sweet potato fries, coleslaw and salad. The sandwich in itself was okay, it wasn’t massively tasty and some of the sweet potato fries where undercooked, I was disappointed with the coleslaw as it tasted very very cheap like supermarket own brand so I couldn’t eat any of it. My son had a children’s chicken chunks with chips and beans, again we was disappointed because the chicken chunks where in fact chicken dippers which do taste different. He then put ketchup on his dinner (he’s obsessed with ketchup) but he said the ketchup tasted weird (his words). I’m assuming the ketchup was a cheaper branded just like the coleslaw. The drinks that were in the fridge was all warm so we had two tiny bottles of coke instead. We then ordered a cappuccino, hot chocolate and a lemon flapjack type cake with ice cream. As a massive cappuccino fan who purchases them on a daily basis I can say I was not disappointed. It was lovely and the cake/flapjack was tasty.Value for money 5/10 - I think the food is slightly overpriced for the quality. Like most people I will pay anything for food if it is worth it however I felt like the food was quite basic and because of the atmospheres and surroundings I would have expected a higher level of quality.Staff 10/10 - All the staff that served me seemed lovely and friendly and went out of their way. Improvements - 1) Use better quality brands like Heinz. 2) Consider lowering the prices of the bottled drinks as they are very overpriced, maybe invest in a soda machine (not sure if they’re the names) Final comments - Overall this is a lovely little cafe and a nice change from some of the other establishments in the town centre. However if they take on board some of my comments then I can guarantee this place would be a 10/10.

It was raining, it was after the lunch time rush and I like to support independents but sadly will not be supporting in the future.The decaf coffee was definitely instant and like dishwater, peppermint tea was fine and the scone we ordered was tasty however it was served with aerosol cream.Sorry guys but it was not worth the long wait to be served, even though we had to remind you that we were still waiting.

Just had a lovely breakfast. Staff very friendly.we go regularly and the food is always of a high standard very pleasant place to sit and watch the world go by

My wife and I visited for breakfast. Ordered the Parliament Breakfast. It was freshly cooked and really tasty. Had a Flat White coffee and a large cup of tea all for £14.60 which we thought was very good value for money. Friendly staff and very clean nice place for people watching with its large windows.

Go here for my lunch on a regular basis as its a nice and pleasant cafe. It starts getting busy around 12:15 but I don't usually have to wait too long for my food. I took some of my work friends here for a change and they love the place. Especially the posh fish finger sandwiches washed down with a glass of wine. Good choice of food and reasonable prices with plenty of 80s music (not too loud) in the background.

I have had many a full english breakfast here but I really do believe that the staff cannot cook eggs or bacon properly. I always have to ask for well cooked eggs and bacon, then if I am lucky my foof will arrive at the table hopefully with warm and cooked bacon. They are best just keeping to the sale of pizza's.

Called into this place for lunch, looked very appealing on the outside but when we went in it was dirty food on tables and also on floor where we sat, waitress was very polite but when we down she cleared plates but didn’t wipe the table which was full of powdery dust......salt? Did look as though she was the 9nly one working.Would not go in here for food. First impressions put me off.

We have had many meals here. Straightforward pizza, panini or salad that is always well presented and tasty. We've been for our daughter's birthday today and the staff were very helpful and accommodating to a large party. They were also happy to cut up our birthday cake and take our photos

First of all, great staff. Me and my youngest cane for lunch on a Sunday before a visit to the cinema. Brill veggie breakfast (served all day at weekends! What a good decision!!) and freshly made, utterly fantastic pizza. We're glad to have found this place. Sunday 19th May about 11:30 - those three girls are absolute diamonds. Thanks!

great staff who look after your every need,food was very enjoyable and music.was very acceptable. The atmosphere was great and the views were great.

Lunch for 2 cost just under £25 to be served strawberry milkshake that tasted of nothing complained had it changed but no better than the first. Jacket Potato was microwaved with cheese that looked stale. Chicken burger was a frozen burger not fresh especially the price you pay. Will not be going back

This is a regular weekend spot for myself and my family when stopping off in town for some shopping. Oldham was seriously lacking some nice independent cafe's so this was such a breath of fresh air when it first opened. The menu features cafe classics like paninis and jacket potatoes whilst offering something different like their pizza and prosecco deal if you fancy it. Staff are always friendly too and will always help out if they can.

Ordered a jacket potato with 2 fillings and hardly any filling!. a few beans and just a sprinkle of cheese which i could hardly see....and You charged £4.40 for that ...What a RIP OFF! and I asked you to leave some options out and you didnt even do that (that has happened previously). Won't be coming there again!

Always a pleasant experience, simple food, good service and nice surroundings We call in for lunch regularly.

Nice, bright airy deli restaurant. Good range of food and drinks. Often o at lucnh time but I keep meaning to try the 2 x pizza and drink for £10 deal

You get what you pay for, food was just alright, service was alright and ambience, well there was none, at least not at lunch time when we went in for something to eat. We are not in a rush to return any time soon.

Called here for lunch! Great food. Staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. They couldn’t do enough for my son and I. Great location. Very reasonably priced. Food is of great quality and presented professionally. Highly recommended!

Visit parliament square today for a coffee and cake after doing some shopping I go here quite often for breakfast friendly staff excellent food and very clean wouldn’t go anywhere else to eat in Oldham would highly recommend

Visited here at the weekend and once again it did not disappoint. Foid was delicious and service friendly and attentive. Far better than any of the chain restaurants serving up the same old, same old. If you have never been give em a go, pizza's are great.

I've visited a few times and always enjoyed lunch there with family, but think today's will be the last.

Frozen food avoid the chicken burger, advertised as breast fillet in breadcrumbs and was processed burger the same as you get from the supermarket, smart price value burgers. Horrible, paninis with sparce fillings, frozen chips soggy and frozen sweet potato fries that were pulled and reformed would not go again molinos across the road is better value for money. But try for yourself this is just my experience

Called in as we had some time to kill so decided to have breakfast, the breakfast was not the biggest but it was really nice, fresh and well presented. The place itself was very clean and the staff were polite. I would have no problem recommending this to eat to anyone.

didn't know this was here until recently but will visit more often now I know, shared a pizza with my son and it was really good ( stone baked) and we shared a cake which was also very nice, you can also get a cheeky glass of wine which was nice :)

Had a lovely afternoon tea here with my niece for my birthday x Lovely staff & a lovely place 🍰 🥂 10/10

Lunchtime in the centre of Oldham on a crisp Saturday in March with, at that stage, light swirls of snow. Looking out for a good meal location, I came across PSC looking very clean and bright through the large plate windows. Excellent variety of meals and the goat’s cheese pizza I chose was well cooked and presented and full of flavour. Welcoming and efficient staff added to the experience. Will certainly visit again when we return next season.

Parliament Square Café is a relatively new venture which opened around the same time as the launch of the new multiplex cinema which has been imaginatively created within the long derelict Old Town Hall at the heart of Oldham Town Centre. It is one of several eateries which have opened up around the newly created central, civic open space known as Parliament Square, hence the name.

Ignore the bad reviews Ross and staff go out of there way to make you feel welcome the pizza and wine are fabulous thanks again guys keep up the good work, favourite lunch time haunt.

The best Afternoon Tea I have had the pleasure of having anywhere. Staff are lovely and friendly and cannot do enough for you. Lots of food all freshly made to a high standard. A must to try if you haven't been and the breakfasts are amazing too.

This place is very clean and staff are friendly, The food i have had, sandwiches, Afternoon tea has all been very good, you can sit and enjoy and not be rushed out i visit twice a week after work.

Absolutely love this cafe, the food is excellent and very well priced but the thing that makes the cafe is the staff. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the owner always goes out of his way to speak to all the customers and make sure they are having a enjoyable experience. The afternoon tea is amazing!

It’s recently been my birthday, me and a few friends had a great day of shopping and decided for to stop for some lunch in between, we decided on parliament SQ as last time I dined here my experience was excellent.

Visited here a few times and i can say that each time has been a pleasure. Food is great and staff friendly. All enjoyed in pleasant surrounding with a nice relaxed atmosphere. Well worth a visit, you wont be dissapointed.

What an absolutely great visit. Been here before and the customer service was excellent, Polite and friendly and always asking if we needed anything. This visit was at a busy time too and everything was spot on.

Excellent customer service as always. Friendly and polite staff. Loved the food and they have a great choice. Will be taking the family again.

I dont normally leave reviews but having had such a lovely afternoon tea &( I've tried a few) me & my mum felt we had to say how good it was, excellent food, & great service, oh and the wine is fab too, a must visit when visiting Oldham.

My favourite place to eat in Oldham! The food is delicious and at a reasonable price. The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to ensure we leave happy after each visit. Plenty on the menu for me to take the kids. Perfect for a business lunch or to call in with the family before the cinema. Highly recommended!

Visited this cafe last year with my work colleague and her children, were treated nice due to the race mixture in our party (non white and white). It was my partner's birthday today and we decided to visit this cafe again as I thought I would actually get the same courtesy when I visited months earlier with the colleague but boy was I wrong. On entering the cafe, the staff a young girl saw us, she didn't say hello and decided to ignore us, we stood near the entrance for a couple of minutes and then decided to go and sit down, we sat down and still the staff didn't come over to introduce herself nor did she tell us how the cafe operate as things might have changed from the last time I visited, after about 10 minutes of sitting in the cafe we decided to leave as the customer service was appalling, on leaving the same staff didn't ask why we were leaving nor did she say anything else to us, she just watched us leave, this is a racist cafe, the staff is racist towards non-whites and I would advise anyone that is non white not to visit or spend a penny in this racist cafe. By the way we were looking to spend around £30 in Parliament Square cafe but due to their racist and prejudiced ways we decided to go to Sainsbury's cafe just a few minutes walk away from Parliament Square, there we spent £15, Parliament square Cafe and Deli could have gained £30 from us, but their prejudiced and racists ways allowed them to loose this, Parliament Square Cafe and Deli manager or owner needs to train their staff to treat everyone regardless of their race equally, because as customers, we are helping to keep their business afloat.

Had a business get together here. My tuna melt sandwich was good. Well complemented by the sweet potato fries. Good service.

Called in again, great coffee a very tasty tandoori chicken baguette with salad. The food never disappoints in here and the girls who work there are really lovely.

Visited here with my two grown up children for Brunch after they had eaten here previously and had been more than happy with their experience. Brunch didn't disappoint, decent food, good coffee and great value for money compared to other similar local eateries

Lovely pizza, decoration nice, great customer service so overall fab Worth a visit if your in Oldham centre

Nipped in on a busy Friday lunch. Place looked busy and quite good and managed to get a table. Staff were friendly but a bit slow in the service. No salt, pepper, knife, fork etc on table - had to ask for it or get it yourself but not on show very well. One toilet down some stairs for the whole place. Then loud Christmas music playing on 3rd November - I like Christmas but too early to be hearing it now. Food was ok and coffee good.

We went here for some lunch after a shopping spree because the children fancied pizza. We were not disappointed, the pizzas were delicious, freshly prepared but didn't take too long to arrive. In addition to the lovely food the customer service and friendly staff help make this place somewhere we are happy to recommend.

Been here for coffee a few times. They do filter coffee which I prefer to Americano etc. Had toasted teacakes a few times. Very nice.

What a fabulous place with such lovely staff.

Called in today for lunch with my Mum and sister. I had pulled pork ciabatta with coleslaw and chips, very tasty. We all enjoyed the food and the coffee was really good. I noticed a lot of people were having pizza, they looked delicious so will try one when I visit again. The staff are very friendly and polite, all in all a great lunch and very reasonably priced.

Had a lovely afternoon tea treat with my mum was lovely helpful staff really welcoming highy recomend great price too.xx

We called in the cafe (again) and took advantage of the 2 pizzas and drinks for £10. The pizzas were absolutely delicious - it is such a good deal. However, looking at the 'full price' list it is still well worth a visit!! The staff were so nice, friendly and were genuinely please that we were enjoying our meal. They obviously take pride in their work. A credit to the owner/manager!!

Myself and a few friends took a pit stop at parliament SQ, a lovely cafe in oldham, while we was doing some shopping.

Called in today for lunch, first time we have been but certainly not the last. The food and service was excellent. I had a steak sandwich which had steak, cheese, onions and peppers on with a side salad. My friend had a fish finger sandwich which he said was delicious. Lovely coffee. Will definitely go back for an afternoon tea which looked superb.

Went for the 2 pizzas 2 drinks for 10 pounds deal and everything was lovely! Pizza made from scratch and so tasty, service was with a smile and speedy and we even got complimentary chips from the staff. The owner came out after we'd finished and asked how everything was. We had a lovely time and it was definitely service with a smile - such good value for money too! Would recommend.

After hearing from friends how nice it was myself and partner thought we'd give the early bird offer ago, arrived at 5:40pm for the 2 for 10 to be told they was closed even though the boards outside said 3 till 6pm won't be going again.

The surroundings are really nice. I took my nieces for lunch. The pizza was good, I had a sandwich and the bread was very dry and the cheese was bland. Some friends visited on the same day and were also disappointed with their cold soup. It's a shame because it looks very inviting but I probably won't return.

We were footsore from shopping and this handy café was just the right place to rest up and enjoy a tasty brunch. I had a bacon and cheese toasty on ciabatta, it was very tasty and cooked speedily. My niece had beans on toast but the bread was brilliant. Large slices of fresh, wholemeal toast, her 1 year old sat happily in her high chair and ate most of the beans. The tea was served hot and plentiful. The café does special offers for lunch too,
