Squire Knott - JD Wetherspoon in Oldham

The champagne was disgusting and cheap. The waitress was weird and thought herself funny. Service was late and the worst I've ever had. Worst place ever. Never coming back!

myself wife and son went for food on Saturday chips were cold halloumi fries were over done pizza was undercooked just a disappointing visit wont bother eating there again

In last night, after a 'works do' and I was quite impressed! Fast service and at least one real ale on. Can someone please post an up to date phone number. I possibly left a personal item there.

The food is standard Wetherspoons fare which I like. Very good value because you get a beer in a lot of the deals which is great. Don’t order a drink first because you can get one included.

Came for breakfast/early lunch. We were told there may be a delay on burgers as they were still doing breakfast service. Tgats fine. Breakfast came 20 minutes later, which was great but was missing the bacon and toast. After 3 times of asking, 30 minutes later my bacon and toast which was only lasted on one side arrived. 50 minutes after ordering the jacket potato arrived and 20 minutes after that the sharing platter arrived and I had to shout the waitress as she tried to give it to another table. The waitress apologised but to be frank it wasn't enough. Not once did anyone ask if out meal was good, I was waiting for the opportunity to say no. The food quality was average, but the service from the kitchen was beyond poor. Our first and last visit

Attended with family for breakfast ordered and paid for 3 large breakfasts after over an hours wait no food arrived. Went to staff who did not seem particularly bothered then informed me that the member of staff who took the order hadn't put the table number on so our meals were not ordered. Was asked to go back to our seats and wait and our breakfasts would be with us within minutes. Waited another 20 minutes when the member of staff I originally ordered with came back with my money and said sorry. Went to the bar and asked to speak to the manager and was fobbed off by a rude and ignorant member of staff who did not even apologise for leading us to believe our meals would arrive within minutes of their cock up. Said we were not getting our meals because the table number hadn't been entered on the order when I informed him this was not our fault he repeated this over and over as if what's your problem? didn't offer any appology whatsoever. Would never go here again staff are rude with no customer care experience total shambles and disgusting behaviour. 1 hour 20 minutes wasted sat in this disgrace of a place with ignorant rude staff.

If you're expecting a normal Wetherspoons such as cheap food with a selection of real ale then give this place a wide berth. Since its revamp, it has gone for the lowest common denominator of chavvy beers and ciders. We walked in, expecting the usual range of Wetherspoons real ales, saw there weren't any at all since the revamp and walked straight back out.

.....First visit after Wetherspoons vacated this place. ...extremely disappointed with a pint of Doombar (reasonably standard type of beer ) being stale and flat. ..went there to meet a friend and my phone was a little flat so had to wait for him. ...my cynical head says that after Wetherspoons shipped out the new owners decided to sell off whatever was left in the cellar before refurbishment /rebranding so not to miss out on the Christmas /New Year trade. ....don't think I'll be back soon unless there's an incredible turnaround. ...many other issues as well but I would be on here far too long. ..

come in the restaurant quite a lot but came in today and had the worst customer service of a lad called james, just very arrogant and made my visit to the pub never negative and I will not be in any rush to return.

My sister and I ordered around 1:50pm our starters came around 20 minutes, and everything was delicious; we asked for the kids meal to come out with the starters but it arrived 15 minutes after we had eaten our starters, my nephews food was truly disgusting the mash was lumpy and the sausages were stone cold. he refused to eat it so i went and ordered him a child's ice cream with chocolate sauce which i ordered around 2:30 around 3:15 our mains cam out which was annoying because 45 minutes prier the waiter had removed our plates and asked if we were ready for mains. When we started eating our mains my steak and kidney pudding was rock hard and my sister ordered ham, egg and chips she had no problem with it but it was like packaged ham which she didn't mind but not worth waiting an hour for. One hour after ordering the child's ice cream it was in a vase like bowl with one scoop which had melted my two year old nephew literally had to pick up the bowl and drink the ice cream, we didn't get told that there was a wait on food no apologies for food being late, best part of our experience here, was us leaving.

The soup was gorgeous cant say the same gor the bread hot dog very nice burrito beautuful far far better than tbe last visit place could be cleaner.you are left to chill in your own time which is very important and appreciated thanks

This JDW Lloyds Bar is actually located in the former Lloyds Bank building on Yorkshire Street. Despite the fact that the building only dates from 1979 it is very dull and dated inside. At £2.49 a pint for cask ale the price is somewhat dearer than the average for this region. On my visit the selection of cask ales was also disappointing.

I always feel that I get value for money at any wetherspoons that i have visited. However, although this restaurant was value for money it is seriously in need of a Good clean. The seating is stained, carpets are filthy, a Hoover would help and the shortage of staff meant a wait of over 40 minutes. Come on wetherspoons get your act together or you will soon be looked upon as a soup kitchen, at least in Oldham. Tables were full of previous diners glasses and dinner plates. Although the one young girl serving meals seemed run off her feet.

Came here for fish and chips with my father, ordered fish chips and peas. Waited half an hour when our food arrived the fish was completely burnt on the outside took a bite out of it looked on the inside of the fish it was completely raw. Took my food back up to the bar shown them and the person who dealt with me said to me what do you expect me to do about it. They eventually sent me another one which was a bit better but not good enough. I'm a regular customer here too.

called in for lunch with my wife and 3 kids, found a table wasn't very clean but staff wiped it over for us .....menu was a good selection with very good price deals . food arrived after waiting for around 20 minutes after ordering wasn't very hot but edible. large place with plenty tables/seating to eat .one member of staff stood out more than most and was very friendly and helpful. overall not too bad would have been better if food was hot .

Came in for a pint and food, ordered an 8oz angus rump medium rare, it came well done no pink what so ever sent it back waited another 20 mins and it came well done again with soggy chips some of them were still hard, very disap

Called in here after a visit to the nearby cinema. Early evening visit but lots of people eating and drinking. Had the curry special which came with a drink. Served quickly at the bar and food also arrived quickly. Delicious Chicken Tikka served with rice,...

The evening cooks do not appear to care too much about the way they present the meals. Just had gammon, eggs and chips which was plated as follows: a layer of chips, two eggs on top of each other and a 10 oz gammon steak, (in two pieces), plonked on top of the eggs. This ensured that the eggs were both broken and had solid yokes. Not up to the morning and afternoon standard at all.

Very busy pub, plenty of atmosphere. Good choice of drinks with a very good menu choice. Service was quick and efficient. Quality and quantity of food was above average for this style of pub. Some really good offers available on prices, which made the visit all the more enjoyable.

Rubbish the bar staff must have been trained at the local mortuary also the toilet facilities are not going to get a medal for being clean

I have mentioned before that the kitchen staff have mixed up meals several times, once more they have surpassed themselves. Took our 2 grandaughters to panto on monday 19th Dec. One of our party ordered mixed griill, when it arrived it was missing the steak and the lamb, if we hadn't checked the menu we would have thought it a very poor mixed grill instead of poor service; Please management sort out your staff, would hate to have to go elsewhere.

The staff in this place are just terrible. No smiling, no sense of humour, no customer care.We left the bar feeling like we had inconvenienced the staff by asking for a drink!!Then we went upstairs and once again the staff were completely stony faced and down right rude.What a let down!!!

Love the steak day at JD Wetherspoon's, we go twice a month. But on the last 3 occasions my meal has been spoiled by them getting the order wrong. First time I was given chips and peas in error so sent it back, by the time it returned with baked potato and salad, as ordered, the steak was only luke warm. I must admit I hadn't checked the bill so partly my fault although I had asked for the med rare steak with baked potato and salad, second time, same thing although this time it did state baked potato and salad on the bill, again luke warm steak. This week got med rare steak and salad, no baked potato, had to ask for it, it was on the bill. I can't see why it's so hard to get this simple meal right, its pretty quiet the time we call in, mid afteroon.

Ideal place to catch up with friends during the week . Cheap and cheerful with edible food and good selection of drinks.

Amazing pub and amazing staff. Staff are incredible and always go the extra mile, espicially Simon & Hannah. Would deffinitly recomend this pub to everyone i know.

If you like cheap and cheerful and don't mind a dirty table, floor and overall scruffy place then take a visit. The food was OK and a reasonable price and the reason we called was because we were going to the theatre next to it. Some of the staff made a real effort to please the customer but there was a waitress that could not have been less interested and less accommodating if she had tried. We asked if someone could wipe the dirty table and she came across and literally wiped one clear spot on the table swept it onto the floor and left- leaving the rest of the table untouched, I was speechless!!! We then noted she was at the serving hatch chatting to colleagues and oblivious to the mess within the place ie crayons on the floor with leftover food, tables stacked with used pots and glasses and general untidiness and dirtiness everywhere. Its such a shame because the place was quite nice and some of the staff were attentive. However it needed an injection of personality and overall clean.

Asked for two slices of bread .. and four were delivered to table ... and asked waiter to return two as wrong amount ... told you ordered them after he spoke to manager .. i explained i ordered 2 slices .. and got given two lots ... this happened week before and we got refunded off the same girl Hannah ... the week before ordered 4 slices of bread and butter and got 8 lots .. explained and got full refund .. week after same girl did it again ,,, but this time was told its you .. ordering two lots ... i said i ordered two slices .. she said well you not having any refund .. 95p ..(bar manager) HANNAH is backwards in name and backwards when it comes to serving the public .. £13.05 breakfast for two good value .. good food .. as we been 8 times in last 12 months ..but made same mistake in last 2 weeks running .. and she remembered myself ..but said its you not me ,... i said is this the best you can offer .. an arguement over 95p ... .. ATTACK the poor customer ... shocking service i clearly asked for 2 slices of bread not cut in half ill do my best to tell people regards the service she gave Hannah ... 95p .. please ... you had over £100 in 8 visits

Staff were pre-occupied with locals. Felt like an inconvenience between locals. Toilets clean and pub was smart.

Came with friends for tea on Wednesday 17th August. There was 9 people and there was not a table big enough for us so we had to put two together ourselves. When we ordered our food and asked if possible it could all come together we was told this was not possible as we did not phone ahead, the restaurant was quiet at the time ( there was not anyone else eating ! ) and this could have been accommodated but it just was not an avenue that the bar staff where willing to request with the kitchen staff for us. Food was good but the staff need a training course in customer service.

Just your average wetherspoons cheap and cheerful for a mid week meal. Mixed grill dry and over cooked steak was really poor.Wouldn't rush back unless I was hungry or needed cheap beer

Great food, cheap, lovely food and great staff. Looking forward to the extension and roof top garden!

Loved the food with my uncle, auntie and my fiancée. The staff and the food was nice. I would recommend here

Had a quick pint of Guinness here before going to the theatre.Very nice surroundings, plus a blackboard with different ales and strengths as I walked in.service was pleasant. Seating was nice.Overall a nice enough place,although the men's toilets could be improved with a little smartening up eg toilet holder being screwed back on the wall.

I have to admit that this is one of the better Wetherspoons pubs. It isn't full of drunk old men like the up steps and the tables are clean. The decor is nice (although God knows what's going on in front of the bar!) and the drinks are unbelievably cheap! Although, being a Wetherspoons, when it comes to food, it isn't exactly gourmet, but you know what you're getting. The prices reflect the fact that you aren't getting freshly made, lovingly prepared grub. I don't visit often but when I do, it's not really disappointed. The staff are nice enough and are fast. I don't get why you put grapefruit in the gin... It really doesn't do anything for me and I wasn't asked whether or not I would like it in my drink.

Friendly helpful staff, service with a smile. Usual range of beers and a standard Wetherspoons menu.

If you want quick cheap pub food then this is the place. Been here lots of times mainly early evening before 7pm, food has always arrived within 20minutes, and it is what it is, cheap pub food. £5.99 for fish and chips with a drink I think is very good value.

We ordered two gammon, egg and chips with onion rings on the side. We were told a maximum wait of 25 minutes.. After waiting 45 minutes we asked how long the food would be, they said 5 minutes! Another 25 minutes passed; still no food. Waited an hour and thirty five minutes in total before our food finally arrived! We asked to speak to the manager several times; was told they were coming off multiple members of staff, after waiting another 20 minutes for the manager; who did not come to us, we finally left.

Popped in for lunch when Christmas shopping and place was hammered always a good thing so luckily we got a table and ordered food which was fine as wait was longer than expected but I put this down to place being busy. Nice meal and brew. Staff very professional.

Came with a friend after a heavy night of drinking. We ordered our food separately on the same table number. My meal didn't come for 40 minutes and my friends came within 10! Would not recommend. The staff were so rude and depressing. It was my first visit to a wetherspoons restaurant and I will definitely not be returning any time soon.

I visit here on Thursdays The food is cheap and u get a drink included Sometimes food is a little cold when it gets to you and service isn't the best but hey what do you expect for a cheap tea

Went here with family on Tuesday night ordered mix grill to find a peice of raw meat on my plate and when I mean raw I mean raw it was disgusting told manager who asked me if I wanted it cooking what a joke usually spot in Aswell think they changed the manager but won't be returning ever

The place is nice but the food has dropped standards it was much better before I had a curry today and it was awful black bits in it and my little girl had hotdog and it was burnt would not eat here again used to always come before

Visiting Oldham and found our way to The Squires Knott.Small the many of the Wetherspoons we have visited, and the first time in any Wetherspoons where I was the only one at the bar.Staff were so friendly and helpful, food was standard fair.Always worth checking the specials, Steak pudding on the day was 2.99, against normal price of 5.50.Not as flashy as the The Up Steps Inn, which is closer to the shopping area.Parking behind (paid).

Stopped here for something to eat on the way to Southport - as it was Friday, we all had the Fish and Chips with mushy peas which included a drink - excellent food and friendly bar staff!

The bar staff are welcoming and understanding pleasant and chatty generally on the whole food is excellant today slight hiccup but put right by danny the manager lovely lady thank you

Was OK prices are good meals could be better and waiting time was bit longer then expected overall OK

Called in Sunday morning 23rd August for breakfast, my husband ordered the standard breakfast and I ordered the eggs royal which consists of poached eggs on salmon on a muffin.im sorry to tell you all that they do NOT do poached eggs as they are already prepared and frozen as boiled eggs prior to the dish being ordered.so you get two hard boiled eggs on your benediction and royal order.i sent it back twice and in the end I had my money refunded and was given a small bottle of procsecco for the inconvenience.plus hubby had breakfast, and I didn't. So please be aware before you order these dishes in ANY weatherspoons pub.

I was in there today Tuesday 18th I had fish chips and peas with tartar sauce that was very nice for £2,99 but I think it was the afternoon specials but it was very good and 2 can of Czech Budvar for 99p each yes 99p each 330ml can that are very good and at absolutely unbelievable price

Loads of us visited last Sunday for a friend's 40th birthday and I was really impressed with the quality and cost of my meal. I had rump steak which was served with chips, peas, mushroom and tomato, peppercorn sauce and a large glass of red wine for the princely sum of just over £9.00.It was lovely and I will visit again.

Some great food deals, from all day breakfasts, to daily specials, such as Curry day. If you are a single person it is hardly worth cooking at home with prices like these.

Improved service and cleaner with more staff on than past 12 months.Food specials good value when on.Keep it up.

The food is good, the drinks are good and the prices are good. However the bar staff are the worst I've ever seen in any pub/restaurant, a monumental let-down for J D Wetherspoon. The bar staff are in desperate need of some serious full on training. At the bar the real ale pumps are showing the ales that are available - or so you'd expect. No, not the case, I'm sorry to say. After looking through the "available" bitters on display, I asked for one of them whilst pointing to the pump. "We haven't got it", I was told by the bar person. "I'll have a pint of that, please", I said, pointing to the pump next to it. "No, we don't have any", was the unwelcomed reply. "So, turn the badges round so that they're not on display and customers will know then that these beers are not available. Or, at least, stick on the "Available Soon" badges, either way you will no longer be wasting customers' time", I pointed out. After that the response was just a pile of unbelievable bull about "orders" from the top management. Where do J D Wetherspoon find bar staff like this ? Bar staff that are naive enough to believe that they can fob customers off with undiluted rubbish like that. Also, the bar staff should make the effort to clear the tables promptly when customers have had their meals and left. Leaving glasses, dirty plates and unfinished meals on the table and floor for over 2 hours is completely unacceptable for any business of this type. This is particularly annoying when you see the bar staff sitting around doing nothing or standing around chatting and shouting to each other. Come on J D Wetherspoon, pull your finger out and sort this mess out, bring it up to the acceptable standard that we enjoy at Up Steps just up the road. Thanking you in anticipation.

Great food drink and staff. The only reason didn't get 5 stars was the place could do with a few chairs changing. We were well looked after and the food was excellent and hot.

A bit scruffy on this visit - maybe they'd had a load of families on the tables around us. Staff always very friendly. Food always great. But I much prefer Rochdale's Wetherspoon's The Regal Moon.

I have visited this pub for tea with colleagues on several occasions and have never been disappointed. Its in the centre of Oldham which is not the most desirable place. However visited last week there were 9 of us. I ordered a brunch burger which consisted of a tasty thick burger, salad, bacon, onion rings and a fried egg. It was accompanied with chips and more onion rings. I also had a large glass of red wine and the total was £6.89 which cannot be beaten! The burger was cooked well and was very tasty. The food came promptly and no one on our table was kept waiting. It was curry night in the pub and the rest of my colleagues had a curry which they all enjoyed. Service was good. Quite basic set up, no table cloths etc. but for the money cannot complain.

i called and the squires knott pub today dinner with a friend on the 20th of march i had fish chips and peas on a pint of guinness that was on special for £5 99 the guinness was lovely best fish and chips was excellent fish was lovely freshly cod what can i say for £6 an award-winning meal with excellent 1 pint of guinness a credit to all that work there thank you all

The food was nicer than last time, I would recommend anyone to eat here and drink here, Reasonable Price.

Went here on 11/03/2015 for tea we ordered food and very disappointed the two gourmet burger meals we were brought we burnt so badly they were crunchy due to the meat being carbonized! How can a cook burn a burger? A joke! Half of the toppings I asked for were missing and the chips were soggy as was the salad! The ceaser salad was a joke too chicken covered in mayo and a few lettuce leaves that was it!I will never go there again AVOID!

I came in tonight and was greated with a smile almost immediately...was nice to see people looking genuinely happy to be behind a bar and enjoying themselves!!

Staff not very accommodating when I wanted to swap items on the breakfast menu they refused point blank. Other wetherspoons I have been to do not do this. Very disappointing

I came here for something to eat and drink, by time i got the food it was cold and also the drinks were flat. Sorry but I won't be going here for food.

Visited this pub on a Saturday night with my friends. I gave my partner a £20 note to buy the first round of drinks. I would never assume that 4 drinks would cost less than that on a Saturday night. Surprisingly the price was below £10 but we were only given 31p change. We confronted the manger about the issue and she said she has to count the till to give us anything back. After counting the till she then told us that she will not be able to give us any money back as the till is over but not by the full £10! She said that even after looking at the cameras she will not be able to establish what note was given to her. I know its January and business is tough but this way of making extra money is unacceptable. I wonder how many more people are being ripped off like this every day. If she would have given us the money back we would have spent it in there anyway! Needless to say we left after the first round and this has put us off from any future visits. We were told we will be contacted by a different manager first thing in the morning to try and resolve this issue but we are still waiting for this call.

Been here a few times there is a lot to choose from and food is average and everytime I've been here I have bad bellyache next day only makes me think about the preparation of the food? All in all is not to bad if u can put up with staying on toilet next day lol

Quality food, Fast service and fantastic prices. Steak club on Tuesday is great value. Would definitely go back

Great meals at the Squires Knott Oldham, some come as a meal deal including a drink, so if you want a great value meal go to the squires knott you won't be disappointed.
