Queens Arms in Tameside

Not our first rodeo here went for a Brilliant catch up with our 18 year old grandson he loves a carvery and The Queens Arms did not disappoint it was lovely and plentiful he had a large carvery me and my hubby had normal size which was more than enough.Great Price we had drinks and a bottle of wine Great service a nice guy showed us to our seats and served us our desserts If you love a carvery this is the place

Always good service and good food

Sunday carvery spot on! Good choice of drinks and a good atmosphere

The food and staff are fantastic. I highly recommend it. You get a choice of 4 meats.

Fantastic food staff very helpful an overfantastic place to go

I've been to quite a few carverys but I've been to this one 4 times in 6 weeks. Absolutely banging

Very welcoming and homely, no wait for a table even though it was busy , staff very helpful

Atmosphere is always welcoming, customer service is always friendly and the food is always spot on

Called in while driving past. I have visited many times over the years and have not been disappointed with the food. Plenty of choice of meat and vegetables. They often have a choice of pie as well. I can't comment on the other menu just the carvery. I always enjoy the food when I visit and would recommend it to anyone wanting a carvery.

I went here for a carvery. There is parking for all, though limited. Entrances for all people. The staff were friendly and helpful and we we were shown to a table of choice. The carvery, you have to go to the bar,decide on plate size, pay for carvery and drinks, you are given a slip of paper for the carvery and drinks are brought to your table. Again carvery is simple. Choice of 3 meats from 4, and then it's your choice as you walk past vegetables. The food was well cooked, tasted delicious. Will go there a again. I ve been there a number of times. And found the food to be consistently very good. Well worth a visit and I will go there again. Nothing changed, I ve found it the best carvery in the area.

Great food... Great Staff... reasonable prices..."Nuff" said.

Carvery was just being started so everything was newly opened, yet like many other reviews say, nothing is ever hot enough. Cauliflower and parsnips tough. Definitely frozen style roast potatoes. The youngest man on the bar was absolutely lovely. The other staff are brusque and rude. One particular older lady waitress is loud and totally aggressive. She thinks nothing of shouting at customers.

Perfect service , perfect food , polite staff , will definately dine there again

Best carvery I've had in ages! Will definitely be back.

Normally v good but Food barely warm (couldn’t see a microwave)only roast potatoes were hot, parsnips not cooked enough and bland Service was excellent

Beef turkey and ham were really nice, dauphinoise potatoes were fantastic. No gravy for 20 minutes, so food was going cold by the time it arrived. Staff in the majority were superb with one exception.

Food great always . Staff are all amazing & so helpful especially Carole she always goes above & beyond with everyone. It always has a great atmosphere too

Would like to say a massive thank you to Cara & team Queens Arms Audenshaw for our wedding breakfast and fantastic buffet couldn't do enough for us. Highly recommend for all occasions fantastic staff & brilliant DJ. Thank you Cara for all your hard work massive 10 out of 10

From ordering to receiving food took 40 minutes. It was a quiet Wednesday afternoon. We were not made aware of such a long wait. They also don't let you know when the food is almost ready so the other person could get their carvery. The carvery was rated highly apart from the gravy. It was as runny as water. The meat on the mixed grill was so chewy I couldn't eat most of it. I feared I would choke it couldn't be chewed enough. My daughter had the kids spag bol. It must have been sitting out while the rest was cooked cos it was so dry she couldn't eat it. Cheesecake wasn't fresh, hardly any biscuit layer and way too thick I hated going to the bar for more drinks as the older lady serving was not friendly. I understand that being on your feet all day but I am friendly so that's personally a negative All agreed we would not return here. The prices were expensive for extremely medioicre food. I do not understand the good reviews. One in our party would return for the carvery (but maybe sneak in your own gravy)

Amazing buffet choice for Sunday lunch, food well cooked, nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Great carvery, great selection of veg, the cauliflower cheese was superb.

Need to be aware of what low lives you allow in your establishment. I went use the toilet & some total bellend came in after me accusing me of taking drugs and threatening to beat me up . I won't be made to feel intimidated by no one expecially in my own local & therefore won't be stepping foot inside this dive again

Staff were excellent, friendly and professional 🙂

Not bad, and it’s good for a standard carvery. Lil pricey for menu items for standard pub grub.

Beer great Fruit machine excellent Food dire all ping ding dinners as they are delivered frozen like greggs Best food in the place is the crisps

Lovely food, with drinks. Smiling staff

Went today for 1st time as family of 4. Place is busy and has a good vibe about it. Clean place with nice beer garden / outside seating area. Opted for 3 carveries and a bacon cheeseburger. While 2 of the party went up for the carvery, I waited with my son for his burger meal. When I went for my carvery (opted for large option) only to find out i was given same size plate as medium option. Unfortunately, the chef serving seemed to be in a mood with hardly a smile or interaction with customers. The meat is cut thicker than most other places we have visited however beef was overcooked to point where it resembled pulled beef and gammon was slightly undercooked in places. Roast potatoes unfortunately have all gone through the deep fat frier while the parsnips had a dark brown shade but were undercooked. Overall, with a little more care with food and a little more interaction from the chef it would be a great place to go.

Food lovely. Drink prices very expensive, 3 x orange cordial with water and 1 coke over £12!

Good service, helpful staff, Covid Friendly and value for money 👍👌

We really enjoy going for dinner here. The food is lovely and there's something for everyone. Even an extra baby plate at the carvery for babies and toddlers.

Went in the Queens Arms today for the first time nice welcome from the bar staff had drinks and food which was very lovely a special thank you to the waitress called Carol she never stopped all the time i was in but still had time for a smile and a joke with all the customers

Lovely lunch for my mothers 80th. 7 adults 1 child It’s not until Saturday but went today as I’ll be away on the day. I had the beef baguette with onions gravy and chips cut was absolutely delicious had this a few times now the baguette was lovely and soft and the beef was tender and the onions and gravy was delicious. The staff was brilliant especially Carol who found us a bigger table than booked as I brought my granddaughter so needed more space nothing was too much trouble. Carol had a great sense of humour and was friendly. Big thanks to Kristin who provided my granddaughter with a colouring sheet with crayons. Excellent family venue would recommend very clean, great bar staff and waitresses. Thank you we will be back.

To be honest I don't want to leave this place a bad reviews as it's usually alright but today I'm very very disappointed, I traveled from Oldham to go here and I paid a whooping (£16) for a burger that literally come with 14 fries no joke. I asked for the bacon crispy and when it come I checked but the bacon was really soft and undercooked and to top it off there was a nasty long hair in the burger 🤢 bare in mind I waiting over 25mins for this food and I wasn't waiting another half hour so I asked for a refund but there was no apology what so ever.

Food was good, but arrangements for a wake were not ideal. Confusion about gluten free food, and possible issues with cross contamination due to service arrangements.

I absolutely love the carveries here. Plenty of great choices every week and all cooked to perfection everytime 😋 👌

Would not recommend this place atmosphere very edgey! lady at front desk didn’t have a clue what to do or even show us were our table was food was cold only thing warm was roast potatoes but I felt like I was eating a brick! bar staff spot on 10/10 service friendly people only thing good was the drinks I wouldn’t give the food to my dog never mind people really disappointed with this food and restaurant staff thanks for wrecking my Sunday waste of money !!!!!!!!!😡

Lovely food lovely chef celebrated my 40th yesterday

Really nice place, staff were really helpful and very plesant nothing was to much trouble

Very nice you won't be disappointed x

Love this place. Great food, friendly, helpful staff and fantastic atmosphere. Always worth a drive out x

Best Carvery in the area, I always go early and never on a Sunday. Always spot on! Shame they don’t do real ale. Service can be a bit hit and miss, depends who’s on that day.

Had a great birthday meal. 11 of us and food was great pub lunch. Steak sandwich was lovely. Staff all very approachable. Great Manchester pub. Will definitely return.

Nice staff,good food,nice atmosphere and prices ok.

Attended my friends 90th birthday at the Queens the buffet was delicious .service was great staff very friendly I have to add the fish and chips are the best they are stunning I highly recommend them as well as the carvery

I would deffo come again chicken burger is good and milkshake is on top very nice staff and good atmosphere

People need to check surcharge ..here a pound on every meal...cost of living crises..family don't get asked ..you can ask to have this taken off...tips should not just be taken....

It was OK but it was 10.95 and not 9.95 in the week bit expensive

the staff makes the queen's arms a comfortable friendly place to go, although it was the first time I have been there, I can definitely say it won't be the last time I go, also the food is fantastic and plentiful, so if you want to go for a meal or just a drink the queen's is a really good choice

£15 carvery with deep fried potatoes-no thanks

Cracking Sunday dinner here best in Manchester lots of choice of veg meats even pies try it it will not disappoint

Went here for the first time for a Wedding reception. There were approximately forty of us and the service was great - the staff were extremely efficient but took time to be friendly too! As a vegetarian I often feel that a Carvery is lacking for me but our main was absolutely delicious and I was astounded by all of the vegetable sides on offer. Never had anything quite that good! Highly recommend and may need to move up from Lincolnshire to make this out local!

Good food well cooked but service could be better staff alway have a sour face not welcoming

The carvery is great, hot and nice portions of meat. Its a bit expensive on Sunday vs other places but usually worth it. Menu items are hit or miss. Staff are friendly and service is quick. Would recommend.

Ģreat food and drink nice service and freindly atmosphere 😉

Excellent service, food hot and tasty. Reasonably priced. Whats not to like? Definitely recommend and will be returning.

Fish was really poor an jam roll poly never seen jam rolls polly all round found it a waste of money never eating here again

Went as a guest to a birthday party and it was lovely. The buffet was fabulous. Drinks prices were a shock though - £3.30 for a bottle of Pepsi Max!!! Thank goodness I don't drink alcohol. But to be fair, I rarely go out so maybe its the normal price of things nowadays.

Attended a buffet tea after a funeral. The catering was superb with a selection of the usual quiches and sandwiches but with a fusion selection of Chinese and south asian cuisine. Proper china plates too with a nouvelle cuisine style and cutlery set out at the tables. These thoughtful touches made this difficult occasion special and memorable. Bar and hospitality staff were all over it despite a full house in this busy establishment. Little touches like fresh flowers on the tables and spotless facilities meant so much to a grieving family celebrating the life of a much loved lady . Queens arms we cannot praise you too highly. You did the family proud and we do thank you for it.

Excellent service friendly helpful staff.

Lovely place, great staff, food lovely

Has an amazing, massive mixed grill. Gutted I never took a photo

Staff worked so hard, but seemed very stretched. Food ok

Visited last Wednesday lunch. We received a really warm welcome. The waitress Carol was really friendly, helpful and attentive. We had the best carvery we have had in a long time. This was our first visit but will definately not be the last.

Nice looking and decorated pub but 9.50 for a children’s meal. Ridiculous. Poor service. One of us had finished before the other had their meal. First and last time of visiting.

Best Carvery in the area ! . Selection of roast meats , pies and a vegetarian pie option included in the price. Best range of perfectly cooked vegetables I have ever come across including roast parsnips ! . The Staff are fantastic and very happy to help . Prices are very reasonable and represent good value for money . The restaurant area is open and has a good layout, with tables not too close together. The Queens Arms Audenshaw is truly a hidden gem and certainly worth a visit.

Great place to eat great team well looked after. Great chose of food on the menu. the carvery is excellent good chose of meats and veg. I love the spaghetti bolognese. Will be back.

The 3 of us had carvery which was excellent, good selection of meats & veg/sides, food kept hot & fresh rather than just left to stand. Staff attentive & friendly.

Went for the 1st time few weeks ago, reasonably sized place, plenty of table's and a good varied menu plus carvery options. Choice of meats with gammon, beef or turkey along with Yorkshire pud, mash and roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese and all the trimmings, plenty to choose from. The quality of the carvery was good for the price, staff were pleasant and service was good.

A few months ago this review would have been 5 star. But after today I'm sorry I just can't. The Staff in the Queens are some the best and nicest you will find and the management are great. Can't fault them but the food had massively gone down hill. Went for a Sunday carvery. 3 meat carvery only 2 were available. I asked for both to be given 1 ting piece of beef. I complained to management and they rectified this. But the general food was awful. Pigs in blankets that were mushy. Parsnips overcooked and carrot and swede mash which was so runny I couldn't eat it. Gravy that was watery and tasteless. I love the Queens always have I don't know if the chefs have changed or what's happened but I honestly don't see myself going again

Food lovely staff friendly and helpful

The worst service I have ever received!! The manager is a rude, obnoxious person who screams at their customers when she can’t back up her false advertising. Do not waste your money here!!!!

We came here this evening for my friends birthday after seeing 2 courses for £12.95 throughout January. We had been here a few times before and never had any issues. We ordered our main meal at the bar, sat down and ate. When we'd finished, we ordered our desserts only to be told as we hadn't ordered them at the bar when we first arrived, we couldn't have them. We explained that we were not aware of this. The staff did not make us aware when we arrived, nor does it state anywhere that we had to order on arrival. We then spoke to a different member of staff and showed him the deal, and he agreed we were entitled to a dessert and brought them out for us. Just as we were finishing eating, a different member of staff came over demanding payment for our desserts, saying we should not have received them. We asked to speak to the manager. We were left waiting for around 15 minutes before the manager finally came over to ask what the problem was. (We were told this was because she was watching us on cctv first). We explained the issue, but she said that as per the terms and conditions on their facebook page, we were not entitled to them as we did not order them at the bar when we arrived. We asked her if she could show us where it states this as we couldn't see it anywhere. There was also a card on our table advertising this deal, which, again, did not state it had to be ordered together when we first arrived. This so-called manager then suddenly proceeded to scream at us in front of other customers about how we must be so 'hard up' as we couldn't even afford to pay £9 for the desserts. How does she know what personal circumstances her customers are going through? She continued to shout at us as we made our way out, 'I hope you enjoyed your £9 desserts', 'Do not step foot back in here'. 'You're too hard up to pay' etc. Absolutely disgusting service with a vile manager. Doesn't even deserve this 1 star that I am forced to give.

Excellent carvery enjoyed by the family. Really impressed. Looking forward to going again.

Arranged a family meal for 12 people. phoned the restaurant during the week to book in. on arrival No Booking had been made!! We had travelled from all different areas to celebrate a birthday. Waited at the bar around 15 minutes very cramped, not nice when people are eating near you, i felt awkward. They sat us at different tables, food was brought out at different times, after waiting 40 minutes. Cheap food - high price The carvery is shocking - not much choice, gravy like water. Drinks are expensive - for where the place is id not be expecting to pay £10 for 2 pints - had better drinks and food at weatherspoons. Will not be returning.

Went for the 1st time on Saturday, reasonably sized place, plenty of tables and a good varied menu plus carvery options. Choice of meats with gammon, beef or turkey along with Yorkshire pud, mash and roast potato's, cauliflower cheese and all the trimmings, plenty to choose from. The quality of the carvery was good for the price, staff were pleasant and service was good.

Very good pub nice ambiente well sorted very good food brilliant carvery plenty of car park nice summer garden.

Went for my Mum's Birthday, 16 of us and not 1 person enjoyed it. The food (Carvery) was awful. Parsnips hard as rock, Cauliflower cheese sour, Gravy tasteless and mostly cold. For the price of £9.50 for a regular we expected more, and we won't be going again. It was draughty and so cold. Bad choice to celebrate a birthday with a meal!!!

Gone very poor recently. Used to visit regularly and we were always happy with it. Now they always run out of something (roast potatoes and gravy today...) Had to wait 10 minutes for the gravy today. Inexcusable for a carvery. Almost asked for a refund. Never again!!!

Went for a family , mixed ages, the atmosphere was lovely the manger was very nice and the waitress, went out off her way , at making sure that the table was cleared in between course, and was very helpful , all the meals were cooked very nice all hot has well , no complaints off any off the family members , had a very enjoyable day, 😀 thankyou to the manger and all her staff, 😀😊😄xx

Massive thank you to carol for making my birthday meal a special evening. Visited with my family for a meal and have to say thoroughly enjoyed it. Are waitress carol was amazing nothing was to much trouble and looked after us with a smile and laughter. Massive thank you to all the staff for a very pleasant evening. Will definitely be back again. Thanks again

Meat was really fatty the mash had all vegetables bits in it roasters arnt really roasters gravy was very watery and tastless service was bad 👎 paid a lot for it not again ile go somewhere else

Carol the waiter is a credit to this place. The rest of the staff didn't have a smile between them. She goes above and beyond every time we visit and feel she needs the recognition she deserves.

Was a late decision to go but we went anyway picked the daughter up and son in-law and me and the wife went along well we went in no atmosphere in the bar no one smiling was awful to be fair , we sat at our table then went up for some food everyone was so miserable apart from one lovely lady called CAROL she was the high light of our evening nothing was to much trouble for her going above and beyond what a credit she is to that place otherwise would be like walking into a morgue she is fantastic and a credit to the queens apart from her everyone is miserable . I would only go back to enjoy the food and to see her well done carol you are amazing keep it is and hope to see you again xx

Normally enjoyable last time all the carvery vegetables were cold

Myself and my Mum run a group for Sight impaired and Blind Adults in Ashton. We organised our 1st Christmas meal out as a group of 11 and choose the Quuens. The staff were fantastic from entering the building chef on Carvery. Carol our waitress helped everybody who needed it. She went above and beyond to help some of us out. Carol told us what food was on the carvery, taking us back to our seats. Made the world of difference in these kind gestures we were all made to feel NORMAL human beings for a change. We will be back. Had the festive menu food was fantastic.

Not been for 9yrs due to moving home last minute decision and I'm so glad me n my partner did Carol the waitress was outstanding friendly.pleasant and went out of her way to make our visit extra special.food was delicious definitely be coming back both left with big smiles and full bellys.10/10 to Carol made our night special x

Just had a lovely lunch. Carvery turkey sandwich with stuffing and cranberry. A side of coleslaw which was delicious. The Christmas decor is always beautiful. The staff are so friendly and attentive. Thank you 😊 💓 xx

Came this week for Xmas Dinner. The meat choice couldn't fault. But the chef in charge needs to view the way he or she gets staff putting vegs out. Brussels couldn't eat as they were burnt. Parsnips overcooked. The cook could do with having veg refilled on regular basic rather than putting it out in large quantities. As veg withers and cold. This is what failed for me. Other wise could of been a lovely meal.

First time there and I don't think will be the last we had a selection of food for a birthday get-together my carvery was excellent the cauliflower cheese was extremely tasty thumbs 👍 from our party of 15 adults and 7 kids

The best carvery by far. Delicious and large choice of veg. We're back again with family. Excellent food and exceptional staff especially Carol very entertaining and she can't do enough for you.

Been dozens of times now. Great value and good food. Can be busy around 6pm.

Good food staff friendly and good value for money 💰

Obnoxious, rude, hostile and tight Carvery person.. I was given what amounts to a meagre couple of slices of wafer thin meat and when i pulled the obnoxious server he just ignored me turned his back and walked awaysaying that was all i was getting. This was thursday afternoon between 1.00pm and 2pm on 23/11/2023. As a regular who comes here with my disabled mum i expect better but even when you spend a thousand pounds or more a year in here it doesnt get you good service or a fair portion of food. Doubt i will ever go in again as this is the second time ive had to deal with obnoxious male staff member. Managment dont care a bit.

I had burger and chips which is priced at 15.95. I expected fresh made for this price. Both bought in, frozen and cooked. You could easily tell. Ah well. Lesson learnt.

Our sever today was a delight! Good banter, attentive and welcoming!! Sorry I didn't get your name but thank you. Hope you managed to get the football card filled in.

The food was fantastic the staff are very helpful and the owner is a fantastic person

Prices for carvery have shot up over £8 for a small kids and over £12 for a large carvery multiple veg dishes empty and 3 times staff asked for children's ice cream over 30 minutes and wasn't even busy. Last time for me.

Staff are all very polite, well-mannered and friendly, only downside is we haven't been in for about 18 months and after coming back last week the carvery prices have near enough doubled, it is probably the best carvery in the area though so you do get what you pay for

Lovely carvery and well kept pub.

Carvery was amazing, lots of choice and staff were helpful
