Rising Moon in Tameside

What a great find food was amazing and serve a mean ale 🍺 (unicorn) Try the salt and pepper chicken as a starter and the rag pudding (see image) great combo.

My family and I came here and we all really enjoyed it. The staff were lovely and kind, and the waiting times weren’t too long. The cauliflower soup starter was really good. The sunday lunch was delicious, decent sized portions. No complaints.

We wanted somewhere to hold my Mum's 80th birthday meal. We had a party of over 30 people so were lucky to have the entire room. The staff, led by Matt, were amazing, a special mention for Adam who was our designated member of staff throughout the afternoon. He was ably assisted by the other members of the team. Adam always made sure that my Mum was happy throughout service and made a special fuss of her. We were also really touched when the staff personally donated to her charity fund that she'd asked other guests to contribute to rather than presents. We had pre-ordered all the food from the main menu and it all arrived extremely promptly, with no errors and every dish was piping hot. The food was wonderful and many of the guests made mention of the quality. My wife and I had the home made cheese and onion pie. This was a 'proper' pie with ample amounts of fillings and a great level of cheese in it. Others had braised dishes (liver/beef) and these also looked fantastic. The portion sizes meant that no-one was hungry by the end and some even had enough left over to take home! All in all, the afternoon was a tremendous success, in no small part, due to the staff and quality of the food served. Thank you for making Mum's special day even more special!

We recently visited the Rising Moon and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The food was outstanding – everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. The atmosphere was cosy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening out. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal in a warm, friendly setting!

Great food and excellent atmosphere. Happy to recommend it to others.

Go quite regularly. 4 of us went this time and all enjoyed what they chose

Great food for coeliacs (gluten free) & the service was great too, very friendly. Highly recommended.

We Ordered cheese pie and steak pie- cheese one was so dry the cheese should have ooozed out but it was just too hard . Steak and ale pie had no ale taste- chips were nuclear hot and were dry inside. if you can carry on to the Wagon and horses- food and atmosphere must better but same prices or pop up to Bees -Rising moon very overpriced for the food offered

One word… amazing! Haven’t been in a while, and popped in today during lunch with my wife. Really great service and good home cooked food. Special shout out to the Cheese and Onion Pie and Rag Pudding! Simply delicious.

Went yesterday. Great service. Cheese and onion pie was to die for. Really recommend

The manager of the pub was very rude to myself and my boyfriend. The clientele seemed to be mainly larger louts and there were people smoking weed outside. The surroundings were nice which was what initially drew us in , but I won't be going back

Amazing quality of food, service was great too. Keep up the great work!

Walked in on impulse, without a booking on an early evening. Unfortunately they were fully booked as per the front of house lady. So just about to walk out and a young man stopped us and asked to wait as he would find us a table. What an amazing young chap, so pleasant and welcoming. Took us to a good table and went through the daily specials. Adam is the star and an asset to this business. Very knowledgeable and seems has a passion for his job. To receive excellent service like this nowadays is very rare. So a massive thank you for making an enjoyable evening. What a star , Adam

What a lovely place! Food is delicious! Me and my husband went for a Sunday meal and we ordered salt&pepper squid and Bbq chicken wings for starter and Braised beef with mash and onion gravy and my husband had Lamb Henry. Meat was tender and full of flavour. I would highly recommend it.

Hubby and I arrived on time on the 26th August and waited 10 mins at the bar to then be sated at a dirty table surrounded by 2 other empty dirty table. Ordered a cup of tea and a beer plus food. Waited 45! mins and with no sign of our beverages arriving, hubby politely brought this to attention of the 3 members of staff who were busy chatting at the bar. Was assured the drinks will arrive shortly. Another 15 mins went by, still no drinks, walked out. Very disappointed with this place. We were looking forward for our late lunch out as this pub has good reviews and good looking menu. An hour wait for a cup of tea and a pint is simply unacceptable.

Pub is in a really scenic area and decided to pop in on a whim. Lovely outdoor area, good parking availability. At first look at menu, was a bit dismayed that there was no vegan options for me, but a lovely waitress went and asked the chef, and he went out of his way to make something Vegan, and it was DELICIOUS. Aubergine done two ways, baked and fried, with the most delicious tomato sauce. Absolutely fantastic. 11/10. My Mum had the bacon and liver and said it was "Divine". The manager came over to check on us, and we mentioned that the Vegan meal could do with something like chips, next thing a basket of chips were brought, just so nice of them. Just highly recommend this pub, amazing food, outstanding staff. Will be back again!

Went for a nice family meal on Sunday 5pm waited over half an hour after starter for main meal then it was only warm not hot. Sat next to a group of very rowdy lads shouting swearing and Vaping! Not sure we will go back my 8 year old son was scared of all the noise and we couldn't relax for the fear of it kicking off. We left after main meal didn't bother with dessert.

Visited here on 25th August 2024 for a Sunday roast. We were shown to our table and asked if we would like to order drinks - before we had sat down! The garlic mushrooms and garlic bread starter was delicious. However, the Sunday roast was disappointing. The broccoli was undercooked (hard), the roast potatoes were overcooked (not fluffy inside), the beef was dry, and the Yorkshire pudding was soggy. We would not return for a Sunday roast.

Tried booking a table for 6 asked for a deposit which I confirmed Sent me a code then it wanted me to put my address details in etc but was asking for a zip code etc I was on a USA website so I phoned the pub who I spoke to a very rude and unhelpful woman who said I was on the wrong website but I wasn’t as I had rang her from the same website Didn’t get the booking and left me wondering if it had taken the £30 or not Would not return

Served by Grace who was helpful, funny and very friendly and welcoming. We had a great evening. Good food and drink. We will be back.

Nice food, lovely staff & dog friendly. Excellent place to catch up with friends.

If you have not yet visited here you need to! Always a really good meal, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Lovely beer garden and children's play area with fantastic views, recommend booking a table as it does get very busy from opening especially at weekends and on a sunny day

Absolutely lovely country pub. Cosy and relaxing. Our food was great. My garlic and wine sauce was gorgeous. Gee our waitress was amazing attentive and so friendly. We'll b back soon xx

Been to the rising moon many times, always a great experience. Great food and always welcoming staff, fully recommend.

Food and pub surroundings are amazing. But the service was such a let down. 2 members of staff was carrying the entire front of house team. Staff passing empty plates, forgetting dessert menus, staff to busy on phones rather than being present and looking after the customers and walking around like they are uninterested and no idea what they are doing. I don't usually leave such a bad review on a place I like. But previously being part of a management team for a pub restaurant I feel that the service has really let the place down and sadly the 2 members of staff who pulled there weight and did a fantastic job. They went above and beyond to correct the mistakes of uninterested others. Your food is fantastic your dining experience could be 5* but you need to polish up on the customer service from the younger members of staff.

Great food, service was fantastic, even on a busy day. Friendly staff. Definitely be back.

Excellent food excellent staff.vast improvement on last years visit. Cant tip when paying by card.so i tip cash .well worth a visit many thanks

First time visit. Will definitely be returning Staff was friendly and helpful Lovely place

I've been coming here with my husband and family since 2017 as it was our local until a few months ago and unfortunately since it changed hands, it's continued to go downhill. This evening (Saturday) they decided to close the bar for drinks at 830pm without shouting for last orders when there were approx 15 people still drinking in the bar and outside. The "manager" said that the directive from higher up (landlord) is to close when they're "quiet" and if we wanted to carry on drinking, we could go up the road to the Waggon and Horses. They did however reopen the bar temporarily for a larger group who were unhappy at their decision to close early, but refused to serve drinks to anybody else. I'm glad the "management team" don't work for me as they clearly wanted to finish early themselves to enjoy their Saturday night rather than continuing to take money from willing customers. Its a shame as this used to be a nice pub but the service and attitude is so poor that I won't bother going again.

Walked here arriving at 9pm on an August Saturday night to be told they had stopped serving. On asking why I was told by bar-staff "because there were only a few people in". As we left, a customer from an outside table entered to get more drinks! Realising that I was watching what happened the bar manager decided that we could, after all, be served. We declined and will never return. What a hopelessly inept way to run a pub. Shocking attitude towards two pensioners who were thirsty. Zero star rating for this dump.

Had a lovely meal on Saturday evening served by a lovely young lady called grace would of liked to if added a tip for her on our bill but was unable too and unfortunately we had no cash think u should be able to tip ur waitress or waiter on your bill by card Thank you G

Just a quick pint. Friendly and a good pint

Nice place, good food and plenty of it.Not open till eleven unfortunately

Just been to the rising moon for a nice Sunday after noon out. We got told there would be a 45 minute wait before food which we didn't mind My partner liked his food who had spicy squid and the Atlantic salad Although mine was nothing to rage about, the parfait was watery and too much bread for the parfait. Then onto my mains, recently it just seems you don't get what you pay for, I paid £18 for a Sunday roast... The lamb was tough and fatty where my knife could not cut thru it. There was two roast potatoes and the mash, stuffing and some other mash, were just all piled under the meat together, where I don't like stuffing, luckily I seen it and moved it aside.. Finally after food I go into the gents cubicle where it has not been checked all day, the toilet seat was all wet, the floor was soaking wet and empty toilet roll holders too, really let the place down, plus wall paper missing around the window This place for me to be a 5star would need a better portion quality and just know how to look after the pub

Great pub for a chill out or a social

One great night out for the whole family, great experience, brilliant staff and service, and the food was amazing highly recommended

The staff is very friendly and helpful.the food is delicious, homemade and reasonably priced.

Great place, loved it food was very good.

Very large portions cooked well

Food was absolutely lovely and very good portions , as well as the young man who served us really did a fantastic job at looking after everyone and had us laughing. But the atmosphere could have been better some background music might have helped in the dining room area. Overall a nice family meal out.

Food good large portions as for atmosphere couldn't comment we had gone on a quiet lunch staff friendly prices good would definitely go again

A fab steak, better than the one I had recently at a big steak chain. The fish and chips were also excellent. Only downside was some of the beer lines needed changing but that was rectified.

Amazing as always, great staff, lovely food

Brilliant Service reasonable pricing very nice outside area must go ln this area

Always top of my list when going out for a meal and drinks as food is always really good quality for the money and service I can’t fault. The staff are always welcoming and friendly and is always a place I recommend to friends and family when they come to visit.Today was a massive let down and have gone down in my estimation. Went with my misses for her birthday food was great made the mistake of ordering cocktails only to hear the two young staff working behind the bar constantly making comments to one another about us ordering cocktails but decided to be friendly and not say anything to us when coming over to give us drinks and collect empty glasses.

I seem to buck the trend. Used to eat here a lot in the past and loved it. Not bee in some time so went one evening with friend and her child. We both ordered lamb shank, kids had pizza/suggests. Neither of them ate much, saying they didn't really like it. And my daughter is a. foodie

Wow, what can I say…our visit today 22.6.24 .14.00 80th birthday! the staff were THE most attentive ever…right from walking through the door to leaving. The food was fantastic and the surroundings were great. Thank you for a special day. Highly recommended 🤘🏻

First time here and won't be the last, staff were really lovely, service was great and food was delicious. Highly recommended 👌

Great place. Great staff. The guy who served us talked us through the menu coz we couldn't decide what to have

The service was terrible and I think it was the manager but she was so unhelpful will never be going back would leave a zero star review but it’s not possible

Food OK but nothing special .Will not rush back

It's hard to find a clean and cosy place in England. This is one of the few places that caught my eye. Cosy enough and good quality food. Large portions and fast service.

Food amazing 4 off us all had different and it came all together could not eat another thing when we got home

The Lamb Henry was sublime, just glad I didn't have a starter or I would not have managed to eat the mains. The staff were very attentive and friendly. WELL DONE. Good value for the money.

While visiting Manchester we came across this beautiful place by accident as the first place we went to just wasn't up to scratch to say the least !! The Rising moon was so beautifully presented with its clean and elegant decor not to mention the care and kindness of all the staff (especially Grace who served us with great care to my needs as I was on crutches ) . Needless to say we would highly recommend this pub/ restaurant as the food was SUPERB!! Definitely going back when we come back to Manchester!!

Came here with my family of 8 for my Birthday meal. Excellent food, fantastic staff and brilliant service. Highly recommended! Dog friendly at the bar area.

Fish and chips and chicken tandoori first class

Food absolutely amazing very attentive and not in your face Matt very patient and good service very attentive to detail I will be definitely going back soon Della Ryan 🙏🙌

Loved the food, loved the staff and the whole atmosphere. I would certainly go there again.

Met up with family, wonderful meal, everyone had different meals and the all looked and tasted excellent.

Food was good, service was excellent

Didn't make a booking as I don't like the need to pay a deposit but they accommodated our party of 6 as a walk in on a Saturday afternoon. Service was so friendly but be aware its fairly slow. Long wait to even be asked our drink order. I don't mind the wait because the food was amazing and fresh! There were so many options I was spoilt for chose so I went for the special that day the Salt and Pepper bowl The flavours, the temperature, the quality! I was 10/10 impressed and can't wait to go back and try something new Also the kids menu has a really good variety of options Update as of April 1st 2024. I have been back a few times and the food quality is consistently good. I don't like cauliflower but when I tucked into theirs..... beautiful. I think they must steam the veg it was amazing.

This was my 2nd visit, and it didn't disappoint. The food and service were good. We had a little wait for food as they said they were a chef down, but we'll worth the short wait.

Lovely pub! Would book in advance as it gets busy. Great staff, very helpful and friendly. Gorgeous food!! And great pricing.

Great place will be going again 👍

Served by the lovely Gee today! Extra shout out to her, she really was great. Tried the new spring menu and it was fabulous! Very dog friendly, comfortable & friendly atmosphere & staff x x x

Me and my friend went here for tea tonight. It's the first time I've been in years and I loved it. The food was excellent, really good portions and very reasonably priced. The service and overall atmosphere was great. I can't wait to go again!

Good food, Good value, a little cramped or space, but overall a nice establishment and would go again.

Was in this pub for a meal with our son and his wife. The service was excellent and the food was delicious and the pub it self was clean and tidy and beautifully decorated. Will definitely be returning here again. And must say thank you to the staff for making our time here enjoyable

Absolutely delicious meal. Great value for money and the staff (Adele and Adam served us) were cheerful friendly and helpful.

Excellent service, beautiful presented and delicious food. Gorgeous location and professional and friendly staff. Wonderful experience here and would highly recommend. Thank you

Food was amazing... picture does the talking

My husband and I had such a great night at the Rising Moon last night. We had a lovely meal with fantastic prompt, polite and professional service from the staff and the quiz at the end wrapped up a good evening. We will definitely return 😀

Omg what a gem of a pub if you are in the area please give them a visit you definitely won't be disappointed on any level

Had lunch yesterday and it was excellent. The food came out together for all four and different meals all nice and hot complements to the chief. The service is very good Lovely staff very helpful. A very enjoyable lunch with friend. Thank you (we will be back) 😊

Lovely home cooked food well worth a visit, staff friendly and helpful

Great food, not cheap but great quality in every way.

Very busy at lunchtime on a Friday. Staff shortage meant we had to wait for our food. It was good food and staff very helpful but very busy. Desserts a bit disappointing, nothing different from the norm.

The food was excellent I had the lamb Henry staff friendly professional and not overbearing fantastic place well worth a visit also excellent value for money

Excellent service and food. Large helpings even the desserts. I only just managed the dessert. Great menu and great prices staff friendly and helpful a very enjoyable meal

Highly recommend booking, service and food lovely.

We have had meals on a weekday plus a Sunday dinner and on both occasions we enjoyed the food as presented to us. We will be going back

Booked online late last night for a table of 5 & got confirmation straight away & a reminder this morning. Was greeted by a lovely young lady & directed to our table. Was served by Matt I think he was called. Was very polite & paid special attention to my MIL who's slightly hard of hearing. We all enjoyed our meals very much. I had the rag pudding, Mushy peas & gravy that I had been recommended. It was just what I had travelled all the way from Adelaide South Australia for 11/10. Highly recommend & hope I get to visit again for the Cheese & onion pie. Very reasonably priced. Worked out about £21pp including 1 starter & drinks & 3 coffees

I live in Portugal so came for a weekend to eat and drink well with family i see little and often.. wanted a great afternoon of food and wine .. wine was lovely, food was quick and amazing quality, the lamb Henry was to die for, service was 100% perfect.. the team working under Matt this day did this place proud .. thank you guys all round

Went here today for the first time for a birthday treat at dinner,all I can say is 10 out of 10.Will definitely go more often.

Once again spot. Good attentive service and monster delicious food

Great place, great beer, great staff and top food too. Thanks for a lovely evening 😊

Pre-booked, but about an hour before called in to say we had 3 dogs joining us. They switched us around so we could eat in the main bar area and they were dead nice about it. Food was gorgeous. Hot and fresh. Hope we didn't cause too much trouble behind the scenes by being pains in bums

Just a nice and comfortable atmosphere with great food at reasonable prices and nice staff

Brilliant Christmas meal with work team x

Food was very nice but service poor. Drinks took an age to arrive and at no point were we ever asked if we wanted more

Great place. Went last week taking the rest of the family today. 👍

Lovely pub great atmosphere attentive service

Lovely meal. Fantastic service and a warm and buzzing atmosphere. Christmas stalls and a bar outside. Loved it x

Lovely place for lunch out with friends & family. Great menu, lots of choice. Staff very friendly and helpful- service was great. Can't wait to plan my next visit 🙂

Last week 2 people out of the 3 of us had steak & ale pie the crust was black ( burnt ) and the steak was tough & dry will never have that again we've been quite a few times here and that was the worse meal we ever had there

2of us had steak & ale pie the pastry on the crust was burnt & black the steak was well overcooked and hard will never have that again have visited several times and food was always good but not on that night

The food & service is very good
