Upon entering we were already off to a bad start as the chef covered in muck all over his uniform was smoking outfront. We decided to still attend as we used to love this place! Tom our waiter was amazing! He was very tentative and made a great cocktail! The service was superb however we will not be returning due to the food. We could hear the chef with tattoos swearing in what is advertised as a good for families restaurant ! And the food alone was awful. Dry and bland to say the least. Definitely gone down hill since we visited earlier this year with the previous manager. Although the service was great the kitchen is clearly poor managed and the chef very off putting and unprofessional. This is without mentioning the food.

Well we decided to have a go at the smokeyard £45 @ bottomless brunch. It was disappointing to say the least. The food and cocktail menu was minimal and for £45 each when the city centre locations prices are from £35 with a more extensive food and drinks menu are more attractive and tastier which are more desirable. The food was less than desirable and the drinks was not really on the go, but thankfully of that as they were not the best. So for a waiter working on his own serving drinks and meals i have no sympathy having worked in the industry for many years in some superb establishments. Not the best.

Very disappointed, nothing like it used to be. Poor service. Accepts orders and then they have no stock. Food was dry and bland. Ordered drinks with ice, both came with no ice. Steak was ordered medium to well done, only for it to come dripping with blood. We will not be returning and we do not recommend.

Afternoon tea with my Granddaughter: we were the first to try their new afternoon tea, the service was a little ' patchy' forgotten plates, teaspoons, but TOTALLY forgivable as the staff were so very lovely and welcoming. This is not your typical afternoon tea, no cucumber or smoked salmon in sight! (YEAH)! Spicy chicken sandwiches, smash burger, onion rings and salt and pepper fries ( yum) scones, cheesecake and brownies, the best ,for me, waffle bites, fruit compote and chocolate dipping sauce, simply divine, I will be copying this at my next get together. Wished down with a pot of tea, ( yes ,pot, not just a cup) and a glass of prosecco. Loved it, will definitely be back to try something else.

Popped in for dinner on the day of the new menu being unveiled we couldn't have had better timing! Our server (Tom I believe it was) was lovely, very helpful and informative. My partner went and ordered the Chicken Waffle Burger (it comes with fries) and he got also a 'Mini Yardie' of Mac and Cheese which he really rated too. I, myself got the Hot Smash Burger and upgraded my fries to the Dirty Chilli Beef Variety, awesome bit of spice on both! We hadn't been in for a little while, but will be definitely popping back at a much sooner interval, maybe to try out the new brunch options! 👀

Food wasn't that great.. we ordered 3 burgers, 2 lots of fries and onion rings. Disappointed with the fact that the chips and onion rings weren't fresh (frozen) and judging by the look and smell, the oil desperately needed changing - they tasted very bitter. None of the burgers had any flavour. There was no atmosphere. No other customers came in. And to top it all off, as we were leaving, the chef and server were both outside the front door smoking and chatting. If we saw this when we arrived, we wouldn't have gone in. It was NOT worth the prices charged. We definitely won't be returning.

The food was absolutely delicious and the waiters I encountered were nothing but polite. I would 100% recommend and will be attending the first day that then have their new menu and a potential Sunday roast they are bringing in.

The food was excellent, however some portions were too large, the nachos starter would serve 3 to 4 people and the side of coleslaw should be half the size. There appeared a lot of food waste on other tables as being cleared. The service was slow by waiting staff and the tables were extremely sticky, I did not see the tables being wiped down in between customers.

Spent £30 here on a strip steak (medium rare) and it was the driest steak I've ever had and looked closer to a medium well. Reluctantly sent it back and asked for the replacement to be rare and while it looked juicier on the outside it had a dry chewy texture reminiscent of steak that has been frozen. Not a good luck that the Wetherspoons across the road serves better steak for half the price. Chips and onion rings were fine and I did enjoy the mushroom side. Staff were not attentive which made it very difficult to flag them down for issues or to order more drinks. Won't be going back.

The food was relatively good when we got it all, as the chef forgot 2 parts of the meal. Was only when we brought it to the waitress attention that we were missing parts of our meal that they realised and then we had to wait for it to be cooked while we were eating...no apology, just a ' oh I'll go sort it.' Felt like it was being run by very unprofessional young kids, swearing, joking about and on there phones in the kitchen you can clearly hear and see all this Tables were really sticky which wasn't nice Was a shame as we were looking forward to it but was not impressedat all.

A few people had recommended us to go here, so we tried it and let me say I am so glad we tried something new. I got the buffalo chicken on waffles and my partner got the chicken hanger, the chicken on both was perfectly cooked and seasoned, it was super juicy and the seasoning wasn’t too over powering but still really really tasty, to me the food we got here is better than most restaurants or takeaways. I also got a cocktail and that was sweet but still was a nice strong drink. The staff here are really nice and welcoming, I would 100% recommend to anyone to go and try here, you won’t be disappointed!

Somehow staff was so self involved that they forgot our drinks and cutlery for a very long time. They also billed us incorrectly. I always thought putting condiments in little dishes was so it seems more valuable. That’s totally voided when they do it in your sight. Food was below average, nothing special. Also there was a very strange dude in the restaurant who took the entire atmosphere down and occupied way too many staff beyond being able pay attention to other guests.

our 13 minute wait for food. I used to love this restaurant but it’s clearly been took over by someone new. The past few years it’s not been the same as it was when it first opened by (Luke and ata ) its now poorly run waiters chit chatting amongst themselves instead of asking people for food orders. One of the servers was absolutely amazing who took our food order I didn’t catch her name but she was lovely. The food was really nice and I will never knock the food but the service alone will put me off for life, waiting 1 hour and 13minutes for food is ridiculous I understand food is prepared from scratch but downstairs was not busy at all also waiting 10/15 minutes for a glass of coke is just as bad. I’ve been in some of the biggest busiest restaurants and never waited 1 hour 13 mins for food. We noticed they served food upstairs first and then downstairs, Causing my fiancé to nearly walk out 50 minutes had passed we asked the waitress and she said 10 Minutes but we was sat waiting still by this point we got ready to just pay for the drinks and just leave. the food finally arrived a couple walked out and said waiting 50 mins plus for food never coming here again, side note - if the restaurant is running slow it’s common curtsey before you even take a seat they should tell you it’s going to be a 1 HOUR 13 minute wait for food. We would’ve gone elsewhere unfortunately Won’t be going back again.

I m from out of town but the legend of Oldham Smoke yard travels far and wide. I arrived early but was entertained by Fay the manager and Ella on service. Charming hosts both of them. When the rest of my party arrived they swung into gear taking coats and bringing drinks. Ella was charming the guest and taking the orders . Only two of us ordered starters . I had macaroni cheese balls with a barbecue sauce. Man I didn’t know I was hungry until these babies arrived. I wolfed them down before being presented with a rump stake better than any I ve tasted in a long while. All the sides were served with it including fresh cold slaw tomatoes and mushrooms. Ella kaput the drinks coming then took orders for the dessert. I didn’t think I had room until I saw Biscoff cheesecake. The champion of deserts did not disappoint. Two types of cream served with a t. This literally hit the sweet spot. In terms of value for money we get are the best in the business. I ve paid twice as much for food I ve not enjoyed half as much. Nothing was too much trouble for the girls and even chef popped out to say hello and receive our compliments on the food. Thank you Smokeyard for the perfect night out.

I don't like leaving bad reviews, but our visit yesterday was so poor! We were told it was busy when we went in, and that was fine, but then had to wait 20 minutes to order a drink and get menus! We ordered starters and mains, and after an hour, we started chasing up the order. Almost 2 hours had gone by before we got part of our starters and it was burnt! We refused to pay for drinks and walked out and ate elsewhere! An absolute shambles and it had been very good previously!! Shame!

Everyone was so complimentary of the food, we had pizza, chicken wings, nachos, fries. All the team working on Saturday were a huge credit to the restaurant and worked tirelessly throughout the night. They were all fantastic. Thankyou smokeyard for making my birthday so special ❤️

Went in today for what was hopefully a pleasant meal but unfortunately I would advise to give this place a miss. I was left to wait 2hrs for my food to be deliver from ordering and I cannot justify what this time went into as my food was very below satisfactory, There was no sauce, my chips were extremely over salted and the burger I ordered I believe must have been sat on the hot plate for the whole 2hrs because it was incredible dry. Overall just a poor and saddening experience

Lovely welcome from staff member Ella, we were a group of 5 and served our drinks and food very quickly, even though Ella was working alone front of house. ordered the southern fried chicken platter, great value for money as had plenty of fries onion rings and chicken.will definitely be going again and recommend it to friends.

Today was a semi decent day for the weather so I thought it would be nice to eat outside for dinner. Chose the buttermilk Chicken Burger which sounded great but as you can see from my photo, looks more like a chicken strip on a bun than an actual piece of chicken breast. Maybe it's the state of the world and supply issues but it's definitely not worth £13.25 the sauce for chips came like those little sachets you get from the kebab shops on union Street or Blackpool when you order fish and chips. the service by the woman was very good and you can tell she loves her job.

One waiter on Sunday? When a big PCA event is going on ?!! They can't take more then 4 people (it's 10of us) in as 1 waiter is sending us elsewhere? Shut down this place if you can't take people in !!!

Absolutely the right choice to celebrate with family and friends. Great food, intimate and separate room with private bar suitable for our party if 25. Dedicated team to make sure everyone had what they needed and most of all great food. 👍

If you hate delicious, well made food with ultra quick service then avoid this place at all costs. The waiting staff here have designed an atmosphere that you could simply live in. I'll be coming back, especially if the staff of tonight will be on. Shout-out to a lovely Ella and Charlie making sure we were catered, every minute of our stay. The chefs did their bit, too. You can tell they don't simply read off tickets but actually ensure that they're plating up a well made meal. In conclusion: underrated. Get your families, your friends or your lovely partner down here for a meal and see for yourself.

Excellent lunch time visit last week with friends. Friendly atmosphere, lovely waitress and fantastic food and drinks can't complain about the food or staff at all, only the guests day out side smoking weed let it down. The tables could do with updating, I don't doubt they are cleaned regularly but because of the groves in them they are pretty grim to be honest, drag a cocktail stick down them you will see what I mean.

Fantastic food, we had the salt & pepper chicken bites (best I've ever had) and the rump steak. As someone who loves a good steak, it was amazing to have it come out as it was ordered, it was super tender and absolutely lovely. The staff are really friendly and inviting and were happy to seat us eventhough we turned up half hour early for our reservation. The banana espresso martini was also fantastic. Over all a fantastic, casual dining experience. Thank you for having us, we shall be back soon 😀

The BBQ chicken wings are absolutely to die for and the best I've had in a long time. The buttermilk burger was equally delicious. Glad we need to return to Oldham in a week or 2 so we can return. 10/10 and the staff are nice.

Very decent sized portions, food to die for especially the short rib, it fell off the bone and melted in your mouth. It was all delicious and service was very attentive. We will certainly return. Thank you Zaraks.

This pub is probably the best in Lees and Uppermill / Greenfield, cleanliness is utmost of importance, (covid), very friendly, serves good food and drink. If rated I would give this 5+ 07/10/20 Just had a scone, lovely, also had previously a ham salad sandwich, most excellent, (always judge a place by the ham sandwich) love the place ❤️ Still has 5* rating

Excellent food and service at this restaurant. The menu choice is outstanding for adults and kids and the BBQ ribs and pulled pork oinkburger that I had was brilliant as was my sons Mac and Fries. He also enjoyed his ice cream. I could have picked at least 10 dishes off the menu - all keenly priced, The star of the show though was Billy who looked after us really well and was great with my son. If I am this way again - I will definitely come here. Recommended for a family meal and anyone that likes barbecue/texan style food.
