Puckersley Inn in Oldham

Great food and beer, good service

We had a fantastic experience at the Puckersley Inn! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us for food despite not having a reservation, making us feel incredibly welcome. The service was warm, attentive, and efficient, and the food was excellent. Highly recommend this place for its top-notch hospitality and cosy atmosphere.

Went last October, food was awful , ordered a steak style sandwich, was just chunks of cheap meat , had to leave it , waited over an hour to be served, only stayed as we had someone elderly with us and had booked. Did complain but to no avail, other customers were eating starters and main meal at same time , will Not be going back .

Absolutely love coming here all the staff are so friendly and the food is to die for! Roshin is lovely and so considerate. She was amazing and always made sure that we had what we needed! Absolute 10/10 would recommend and will be coming back again! Food is always to a good standard and is presented so well😍

Lovely afternoon meal with colleagues

Just had the Christmas menu and it was absolutely delicious the staff were really lovely. Definitely worth a visit and a meal. Will be back soon.

I've just had my Christmas dinner with friends and it was brilliant. Staff are great, just a very pleasant experience. Love it.

Great recommendations from Anna, and great service as always. Everyone very nice and friendly 100% recommended. Also great food!

Excellent food and atmosphere but staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Their attitude greatly added to our enjoyment of the evening. Thank you very much and Happy Christmas

I can never fault the puckersley inn. Amazing food, friendly staff and such a warm environment. The staff couldnt be happier to help with any thing we needed. The salt n pepper chicken burger is particularly good, best I have had. 10/10 every time!!!!!!!!

Amazon Food and first class service! Thank you

I would absolutely recommend The Puckersley Inn, having dined there on several occasions in the past few months. The staff cannot do enough to help you and always provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I have tried afew different meals, all cooked superbly with no complaints at all. If you want to enjoy a lovely meal in a cosy environment then The Puckersley is the place for you!

Food was cold and they got aggressive when I pointed it out

Lovely visit. Lovely helpful staff . Food was delicious.

Delightful pub, good food, definitely recommend the garlic wild mushrooms

Ate there recently and then yesterday, 15 of us attended on spec after a Celebration of Life. Just turned up, not booked in advance, wasn't a problem. Food top notch. Service and atmosphere equally so. Thanks 😊

Roisin is lovely and always a pleasure.

Had a great night in there with my family we made a booking and the table was ready for us as soon as we came in. The staff were brilliant very helpful with any questions about the menu or what’s on draft. The actual pub itself is well taken care of and clean and everything up to standard. Would definitely come back again and look forward to when I do.

Went for some dinner today had the s n p steak ciabbata with s n p chips was bang on. Mrs had the trio of sliders and halloumi fries food was spot on and so was the service.Will deffo return

Very disappointed with our battered haddock and chips. Paid £15.99 each and was served with a fish that was much smaller than one fish finger. It was served with nine chips. My husband ordered a roast chicken dinner and was charged £2.00 extra because he substituted mad potato for chips.

I had salmon tagliatelle with goats cheese. The dish cost £16.50 and for that price I expected a fair amount of salmon. I received approximately a spoonful of salmon, a teaspoon full of goats cheese, and I suspect the tagliatelle was not tagliatelle but spaghetti! Also, it was not particularly hot by the time it arrived at our table. One of my dinner companions had the chicken tagliatelle and he advised that the chicken was chewy! My other friends had the haddock and chips which they both enjoyed So if you eat there – stay away from the pasta dishes!

If your looking for a cosy warm atmosphere then look no further, the pucks is somewhere I often tend to visit not just for the food but the atmosphere, it’s warm and inviting and the food alone is just lovely! They’ve got some new items on the menu and I couldn’t wait to try them, inc gyozas and a baguette which was sooooooo good! All reasonably priced and I would absolutely keep coming back There wasn’t a long wait for food and the staff are attentive If your looking for a warm pub, glass of wine and some great food I would recommend the puckersly every time!

Had roast lamb..absolutely disgusting 🫣 it was anemic and the veg was rock hard practically raw..never again..we waited 45 minutes for our meal 😡

Great atmosphere, fantastic service and lovely food. Three of us chose the gammon steak with egg, pineapple, chips and peas from their Specials Menu. Couldn't fault it and just wish they offered gammon on their regular menu.

Food was bad,,out of 9 adults and 1 child my daughter was the only one to eat hers everything else was caked in salt or to much seasoning.asked for tomato and basil soup and got given something else other than what we ordered.after this experience we will never go back

Great friendly and family atmosphere. Staff were really helpful and will definitely return next time for food. Met a friend here and had a few drinks. Place was so busy, see you again next time food 💪

Took my aunt for a birthday meal and was sadly a little bit disappointed. Waiting staff were lovely and working hard . The mains just seemed a little under par from the gastro pictures I'd seen online . My aunty left her veggy fries because they were hard and her meat seamed a but anemic, it was lamb and the fat on the side was like still clear , not soft and falling apart id say under done tbh . I dunno nothing awful just not really was I expected from the pics. Dessert and coffee was lovely standard . Probably won't rush back tbh .

The cheese and onion pie is vile, the salad had more oil than the North Sea, the triple cook chips tasted like they had been cooked the day before and warmed up in the microwave, to top it off when I sent it back after only having a mouth full off the plate I was told I still have to pay for it!!!! Save your money and tastebuds and eat somewhere else.

We had the 2 courses Sunday lunch. We both had the fish gougons and the roast beef. Although the gougons had quite a thick coating they were quite nice. Unfortunately the roast beef was chewy and inedible really. They swapped it for the pork which was OK. However there was no recompense for the roast beef we had been looking forward to. I was particularly embarrassed as my friend was from out of town.I had a recommendation to go here from another friend who had a sandwich and chips earlier in the week. So maybe if you stick to the sandwiches you might be OK. Moreover, it cost £4.50 extra for a portion of cauliflower cheese.

Nice pub, lovely staff. Food was good and pleasant environment with a nice beer garden and great views of the hills.

Food really disappointing, Sunday lunch beef was scary tough,had to cut it small as chewing it was difficult, cutting it small was also difficult,mash was OK, gravy was OK,roast potatoes seemed old with a cardboard finish,carrots were hard,not firm ,almost raw,broccoli and cauliflower was ok.My wife's veg was the same but she had tough pork .Certainly wouldn't go again, been in a few Lees pubs....this was the worst food.

Roast beef was chewy but everything else was fine. Although I thought the mash was instant. The garlic mushroom starter was yummy

We have eaten numerous times at the Puckersley and again the food was first class. Friendly staff and a pub with a good friendly atmosphere. Had 2 starters, 2 mains and a bottle of wine for under £70. Good value for a quality meal.

Came today for lunch dad and daughter celebrating dad's 69th birthday lovely staff the girls were most pleasant dad orderd the american burger and I went for the salt &pepper burger food was amazing fresh and flavour some lovely beer garden and views we will definitely be back soon x

When here last night with my parents. Nice staff well cooked food will definitely be going back.

Very average food. Table not dressed properly. Service ....... two dishes 'tossed' on the table. Waitresses inappropriately dressed. Disappointed as we have loved this place for years 😔

Food was amazing. Roisin, Rosey and Erin were all lovely!

This was our first visit to the puckersley and we will definitely be going back. Very welcoming staff and a very nice and clean pub. The food was delicious but the portion size was a little on the small size. The entertainment came on at 9 and he sounded great. So we plan on going back soon to enjoy the artists which are on every Saturday. Well done guys...

The Puckersley goes above and beyond AND THEN some for guests!!!! My husband and I invited our whole family out for a dinner and gender reveal of our baby and we asked the waitress staff to help us with the surprise. Not only did Liana, our waitress excitedly oblige in being the first to find out the gender and fill a cupcake with the correct color so that my husband and I could be surprised too, she made it super special by having the staff bring out a congratulations dessert, film our reactions and take pictures, and was just so wonderful the entire time in making it a special occasion for us. All this to say, the food was also SO delicious! We love the Puckersley and will be coming here for years to come when we are in town!!! Thanks again for everything!

A spur of the moment last minute meal after being so busy after work. They were very kind fitting us in just before 8pm, the food was lovely and we're all leaving full and happy!

Fantastic pub and restaurant. All the staff are extremely efficient, friendly and professional. The food and menu is always good with a regular addition of "specials' that changes on a regular basis. Live music on a Saturday night and a great quiz on a Monday night adds even more to this fantastic venue. We love it.

Great pub and lovely food! They do a good pub quiz on Mondays that's very varied and it's got a very honely countryside vibe. Good range of beers and very friendly staff!

Fab food, great atmosphere, really enjoy quiz night.

Decent but pricey food in a lovely location. I had the lamb shank...it was delicious, but it was expensive for a cut of meat that used to be considered the leavings for the poor , but given that lamb is about the most expensive meat in the UK, it wasn't entirely surprising. You could dine inside or out, but the latter had more of a fast food menu. The view over the fields to the Oldham skyline in the distance made you feel that you were pleasantly distant from the hubbub. Well worthba visit.

This is a great find for a sweltering summers day. The crispy pork belly is great. It was my first pork belly and I will be ordering it more often! The toilets were satisfactory and the staff were helpful. The beer garden had a great view. Will be back if I am back in the area.

Nice place ,friendly atmosphere,in a lovely location

Teatime drink watching football.quiet atmosphere. Staff friendly.

Excellent all round. The food was fantastic and the service from Leanna was exemplary, she was polite, attentive and helpful throughout.

Always great food and friendly service 👍🏼

Never a bad meal here. Service is always spectacular. Favourite pub. Lamb Koftas were very tasty. Have been for the steak ciabatta twice now and it’s always very good. Caesar salad very nice even without being a fan of the bacon

After sitting outside in the beer garden it was obvious that the area hadn’t been today from the night before as there was cigarette butts on the floor along with several dog poo bags, which was obviously full and just left under the tables, the food service was very slow and the food wasn’t that good, however the only saving grace was the view from the beer garden, and in the evening of that day I was left with stomach pain and severe sweating, I can’t say it was the food that caused this, however that was the only meal I had that day.

Excellent food, fantastic atmosphere and brilliant staff. Highly recommend!

We come here every weekend! Absolutely fantastic food and atmosphere. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Great food and the service was excellent. The young lady who served was very professional, polite,and highly recommended

One of those cosiest, friendliest pubs in the area. Food is amazing and it’s always such a pleasure to visit. Leanna and Gabs are fantastic!

Erin was top tier, we wouldn’t have eaten here without her recommendations and service!

Coffee machine turned off at 9 o'clock with no notice. We booked for 7 o'clock so not exactly we have turned up last minute. Sorry that is poor!

Food was great maybe a side of veg with the steak and ale pie would improve it and more sauce with the sticky toffee pudding but overall good food.

Big thanks to Roisin, Harriet and Anna for the great food, great service and great drinks.

Love this place. Food is always lovely and there is a great variety on the menu. The new menu is amazing - the food we had tonight was lovely we had the bruschetta, black pudding scotch egg, mini chicken Kiev’s and the cow heel pie. All of the the staff are really friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!!! 😊

Amazing food, trio of sliders where amazing !

Apr 24.. This visit equally good. Food a shade off last time but still good. Server Leanna was super attentive. Nice and cheeky like we love them! Will be coming again. Bitter still excellent. Good range of food and drinks. Cosy bar. Restaurant a little plain but functional. Previously visited late 2023. The team worked tirelessly to make it great. The food was the best we have had in a pub restaurant. Congratulations to the Puckersley team and J W Lees (the bitter was excellent too!😉). Lamb pudding... wow! Pork cutlet with mash and buttered cabbage fantastic. The pear crumble and custard was a sensation. We were loud and entertained more than one table. Especially, the last to leave just before us who thought our stories were very engaging if not a bit rude! We were pensioners celebrating a reunion from teen friendship.

Had a lovely meal and drinks. Friendly atmosphere with welcoming staff. Grace and Harriet made a real effort by recommending food choices and made sure we enjoyed our food. Will definitely be returning. Thanks

Great food , service , good value

Grace, our waitress was excellent! Definitely visiting again 🤩

Lovely old country pub. Nice staff. Beautiful food. Had set menu sunday roast. Roast lamb and chocolate sponge pudding - Gorgeous. Cracking views of Oldham from beer garden.
