Nice food, nice friendly staff. Freshly made chips, not frozen ones (which I hate). I enjoyed various meals there, especially the beef cooked in red wine gravy and steak in Guinness gravy.

First time at this great pub! We went last night,(Friday),- for the karaoke and were very impressed. From entering the pub and going to the bar, the 'regulars' were very friendly and the barmaid was extremely pleasant and helpful. When I sat down I was trying to move he table a little, in a matter of seconds, she was over and helped me. I spilled a little bit of beer, and again, she was over with a cloth and wiped it up. The landlady is an absolute dream as well,- very attentive to her customers' needs, and obviously loves her job,- full marks!! Some great singers too, and the 'sound' is the best I've heard for a long while; - the people listen, and make it worthwhile singing. We're definitely going again, even though it's quite a fair way from where we live, but it's such a great, traditional, clean pub, - it's well worth he journey! FULL MARKS!!

Went to the royal for a buffet after a funeral, absolutely great team there and value for money. The landlady and her staff couldn't do enough for us. We have since eaten here at lunchtime too and the homemade food is spot on. No hesitation in recommending them to all.

Never been before but met up with friends who had. Couldn't fault a thing. Lovely welcome from every member of staff we met. Food was fantastic, plenty of it and the price was good. Proper homemade chips too. Cash only but I prefer that.

I have to give this pub top marks as we eat here 10 to 20 times a year and my last review for here was 2 years ago It can get busy on a Sat and Sun and is always full on mothers day and fathers day The food is home cooked and you can see that there is a lot of staff working in the kitchen behind the bar It is run like a local pub should be and the food is excellent It is on the main road and parking is mainly on the road They dont accept cards so its cash only Would I go back again ? 100% YES

I don’t usually write reviews but after looking where we could get a plated Sunday lunch locally (not a carvery) we found the Royal. Walking in we knew it was going to be good as it was busy with people eating and with a good atmosphere about it. We both had a roast Sunday lunch and with 2 empty plates speaking for themselves we couldn’t fault it. Definitely be coming back. Couple of real ales on the bar as well so even better 👍

Super dog friendly..even brought Stanley a bowl of sausages out .🥰 Lovely home cooked food , huge portions ..no idea how they do it for the prices they charge . There's also a board at the end of the bar with specials on ...I recommend trying the cheese pie its delicious...Good wine too. Landlady and staff make you feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door . It is cash only but there's a cash machine just over the road at the petrol station . Can't wait to return .

Had read great reviews on here and went last night to find a note on the window saying cash only which was very disappointing as I was on a time line and didn’t have time to try and find a cash point in an area I didn’t know. Why is this information not published on the website or highlighted on her. Very disappointing ended up having to go somewhere else serving average pub grub, not what we were looking forward to.

Just had 3 course Sunday Lunch on a miserable wet and windy day - the staff were friendly and attentive - food was good - home made lentil and bacon soup followed by Roast Dinner - I had Crumble to follow and my partner had sticky toffee pudding - Would certainly call again and try something different next time. Good value for money.

Living in Atherton for 5 years and passing this pace a couple of times a week we had a walk which is out of our routine drinks. We ordered drinks sadly no cards are excepted which we scrapped the coins together. The food smelt amazing and thus tempted us ... lucky the garage across the road had a cash point. I chose a ploughman's lunch as a light meal and a bowel of chips. The chips were cooked in what taste like fresh oil clean and crisp... the ploughman's was a big plateful of nice ham, small onions, a warm baguette, slaw, cheeses, so much to mention and it was amazing .. only regret not going sooner. Down side only cash accepted

On entering the pub and standing where I was supposed to be this individual decided that he was too busy to pour a pint, Eventually I got served and took a seat in the direction he pointed me to. He then came in the room and told me that I was I was sat in a food eating area but no food was being served. Not the best front of staff, he would be better employed in the kitchen chopping onions and peeling potatoes.

On eventually being seated at our booked table there was no condiments or cutlery. When food was ready which we had to bizarley collect ourselves from the bar, probably to save them wearing mask or gloves we still didn't have any cutlery or condiments. When we approached the bartender to ask for some he rudely told us to wait. Absolutely ridiculous with hot food on the table. We had to eventually take them from another table as we saw others do. The beef on the roast dinner was a couple scraps out of a packet.No roast potatoes no yorkshire pudding or stuffing. My daughter in laws chilli con carne had half the ingredients missing . My son had gammon that was more like a piece of bacon hidden under the chips somewhere. My husband did enjoy his braised beef in guinness and my grandson ate his chicken nuggets . The pub seems a nice place to have a drink outside on a hot day. Due to some of the rude unhelpful staff, and bad service especially with covid, and some poor food wont be eating here again.

Encontrado leyendo una publicación de Facebook, ni siquiera sabía que el pub hacía comida.Mi madre y yo nos presentamos justo después del mediodía y optamos por un pastel de queso y un pastel de carne, ambos con deliciosas patatas fritas caseras. La porción era generosa comida sabrosa y casera / chef una muy cálida y encantadora dama encantadora. Precio muy razonable para una buena comida. El pub está impecable y hay muchos lugares para sentarse. Olvídese del congelador de ping y ding para que las comidas en el microondas aparezcan aquí para disfrutar de una comida honesta con un buen ambiente

Tuvimos el almuerzo de 3 platos bien presentados y bien caliente no pude encontrar ninguna culpa, estoy tranquilo y exigente particular. El costo fue de 7.95 con una excelente relación calidad-precio, te obsequiaban con el simpático personal. Sin duda volveremos muy pronto. La mejor comida casera por pub.

Yesterday was my Mother's funeral and we held the wake at The Royal and Chrissie did a fantastic buffet for us, everything was so fresh people were going back for seconds. Everyone said they enjoyed it. Thanks for putting up with me keep changing the numbers.Today we went back for lunch, the steak in Guinness was delish but the sizes of the potions beat me, but my grandson the human dustbin polished off every single bit. Thanks again Chrissie you are a star. :) Denise.

If you want good honest good at very reasonable price, then you cannot beat the Royal Oak on Wigan Road Atherton Greater Manchester.We go a lot on Sunday, where you get a great 3 course meal for less than £9. You have to have a great appetite if you want to finish it all, ( I always take my desert home with me, in a takeaway dish )The very friendly landlady, gives a large choice of good home cooked food. I recommend the steak in Guinness with homemade chips. My son love's there herby chicken, while a friend cannot get enough of her steak in red wine.They serve food daily if you only want a quick pub lunch, or a baguette with a large choice of fillings.The staff can not do enough for you. So if you are near or passing call in and enjoy the food.
