Table Table - John Milne, Rochdale in Rochdale

Exceptionally poor coffee machines not working thus long queues for drinks and toast etc. Poor expiation of food choices food cold on arrival slow refilling of the continental section . Staff bordering on the rude and certainly unwilling to respond to complaints. Will never return to this location which is a pity as the staff in the adjoining premier inn are excellent. Understand both are owned by Whitbread plc. I suggest they look at staff training at table table.

My wife and I called in for a late lunch whilst en route to a rock concert. We were welcomed to this large pub by the very attentive staff. We were given a nice table in a very airy large room with several other tables occupied. The restaurant consists of several other rooms as well, all of which had other diners in them. My wife chose the Chicken and pulled ham pie, served with fluffy mash and garden peas. The portion size was generous. She declared it to be excellent. I chose the Smothered Platter which consisted of a small beef steak (to which I added a jug of peppercorn sauce,, a small gammon steak, fried egg, 2 rashers of bacon, several breaded chicken goujons, onon rings and chips, with a dish of barbecue sauce for dipping or pouring onto the dinner. It was very large and took a while for me to polish off. it was very very nice. After large mains we were almost full but managed to slip in ice-cream sundaes for dessert. My wife had the Cadburys Chocolate Sundae ( vanilla ice-cream studded with varoius pieces of chocolate especially toffee filled chocolate buttons) and smothered in chocolate sauce. I had the knickerbocker sundae (layers of vanilla ice-cream and fruit salad and madeira sponge pieces with strawberry sauce poured over. Both were declared excellent. Service was quick, efficient and proficent from the helpful friendly staff.

Me and my friends visited recently for a late lunch. We were served by two girls called Sophie and holly who were lovely and friendly and provided great service. Food was also really nice. Will definitely be returning!!

Always a nice meal with very welcoming staff that go the extra mile. Thank you for another lovely meal with a special mention to Holly and Sophie who served us tonight.

At the end of a long day’s drive down from Scotland, this was a welcome break with hearty food and some rather good rosé (the Ned). Hollie, our hostess made us welcome and we left relaxed and pleasantly complete. We are big supporters of Premier Inn and its reliable offering, and that includes being able to get good quality food on site. Well done!

We went for a late lunch today, nice friendly atmosphere and lovely food. Great service from Sophie and Holly who were very attentive and gave great service, felt they went over and above. Thank you!

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Nice room and tables arrangement which moderated the noise level found in some restaurants. We sat under an aircon unit and should have moved from the cooling air but never got round to it! Food was average and did not measure up to the standards of presentation expected these days. We were disappointed that some items we would have chosen from the menu were off because sometime soon the menu is changing. Plus some items could not be as described because they had run out of BBQ sauce. Service was quite slow - we booked in for 6:30 and after three courses and coffee left about 8:45

Great service and a nice casual meal out. Lovely waitresses we were served by a polite young lady called Sophie. Thank you for a lovely meal out

I stayed over and chose a 2 course meal deal. I selected prawn cocktail, which had bigger prawns than I expected and enjoyed it. For my main meal I chose a loaded platter which was good value but quite average. I'd say that for a family this would be a great place to eat.

Me and two work mates were there and we were greeted by friendly staff. Kate the manager and the staff were very friendly and made us very welcome, nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend it. I would definitely go back there. A++++

Once again we had a truly fabulous experience, the staff are really friendly, keep you well informed, and are always on hand to offer any help if you should need it, we had a birthday breakfast and Holly , Hollie, Kyle and the chefs doo...

What a lovely family breakfast we had today, Holly went out her way to make our children feel special letting them order their own breakfast, all the staff are truly lovely and really care they work so hard. The food is lovely, our favourite brekkie...

Lovely place to go for breakfast. Really cozy feel and the staff are friendly and welcoming. They really looked after us whilst we were there celebrating a friends birthday. They really made sure we had a brilliant time. We’ll be going back really soon 😃

Excellent service by all the girls Holly, Kira, Carol and Kyle the manager. Always made to feel very welcome and nothing is to much trouble for these girls to make our day a pleasant one. The chefs are brilliant at accommodating us all, as we...

Evening meals are okay, they feel a bit pricey for what they are. The breakfast is also a mixed bag. Bacon doesn't taste right and everything feels like it just needed a bit of seasoning and attention. Though where this place shines is its staff....

Called I'm John Milne this morning as I've not popped in for a while. I must say the breakfast was fantastic as always. There was a new woman working there called Izabela she was polite, attentive and has a wonderful smile will be returning soon...

A very welcoming bar, ALL the staff , that we've met on our visits, go the extra mile to make it welcoming - and I can say that on behalf of all who were served tonight. Gemma served us today, who seems to be in...

Comfortable stay at the Premier Inn followed by fantastic breakfast. Special thanks to Izabella & both the Chefs on today for fantastic food and service!

Izabella was quite amazing and welcoming as she made sure everything was ok with me and felt at home

I recently had lunch at John Milne and was very happy with the service I received. I was shocked when told at the bar that it was Izabela’s first week as she seemed as if she had worked there for years. Will definitely return

Izabela was very helpful and a great host for breakfast. Speedy service and nice breakfast - would recommend

Good clean venue. Isabella provided a fantastic service explaining everything clearly with a smile on her face. It has kick started positivity for my day.

This is a mid priced family style restaurant. We had Sunday lunch today and it was excellent value, enormous portion and well cooked. This is the second time in recent months we've been for Sunday lunch and its been great. The restaurant was relatively quiet...

We celebrated my mum's 80th birthday here with a group of 18 family and friends. The staff could not have been more helpful. They were all very welcoming, and made the occasion very memorable. Thank you so much:)

We thought that we would not get a table, because of Remembrance Day but the manager Kyle found us a table.The staff were lovely Holly,Kira and Carol, thanks for making our day.

Fab staff fab food.!!! Very accommodating with changes of numbers as went on a large booking of 14 of us. Thank you!!!

Tonight we were served by a lovely girl called Sophie. She was amazing, always wearing a warm smile and provided us with excellent service!! The food was very nice!! Will definitely be returning :)

Lovely food, nice and fast! good value for money with the 2 for 1 offer. We were served by a blonde haired girl I didn't catch her name as she didn't have a name badge

I came here today with my children, we were welcomed and looked after by a very lovely member of staff called Fay. She went above and beyond in taking care of us - a real credit to the establishment. We will definitely be back soon.

Amazing breakfast and amazing service from Allison.. thank you for liking after us on our anniversary ❤️

Just had a lovely meal with my husband, the waitress Fay was very kind and attentive, served us with a smile and made us feel welcome . Food was delicious. Would highly recommend

We went to this restaurant for a family afternoon meal, my son had the chicken and ribs which were a little underwhelming for £17.49, I had the smothered chicken at £11.99 and chose to double up for an extra £3.49 and it was vile (please...

Excellent service, breakfast and very friendly staff who couldn’t do enough especially Carol and Doo

Nice friendly staff Carol was Emily and welcoming. Breakfast was good value for the price. You could have as much as you wanted. Plenty of options all freshly prepared. Scrambled egg was particularly memorable. Many thanks

Great service Alison made my granddaughters meal special Good food at reasonable rates with a varied menu Would definitely recommend

What a strange experience today at the John Milne. As usual we ended up eating outside in the sun and fresh air. after trying 3 tables we found one that wasn't too damaged. I went in and ordered the first round of drinks and asked...

Food was good, the manager very attentive and our server was a beautiful young lady called Olivia who was professionally

Service slow, poor interaction. Food reasonable, but some items overcooked. Customer facilitates needed urgent attention. Ladies toilet was untidy,obviously not checked regularly. The gents was diabolical, floor swimming in urine due to leaking urinals, one with a bucket underneath not exactly catching a lot. The...

Nip in for dinner on route from the coast. Very warm welcome, staff nothing but friendly and helpful.

Manager got arrested and a right scene was caused outside. Doesn’t bode well for an establishment of such magnitude. Not what you want to be witnessing whilst trying to enjoy an evening out eating with friends.

Visited today, although you wouldn’t go to any table table outlet for gourmet food , todays offering was poor ! When you order a chicken dinner you don’t expect a piece of griddled fried piece if tasteless chicken microwaved soggy roast potatoes and shrivelled up...

Firstly, the service at the linked restaurants remains excellent. It is a shame the food quality has declined significantly since we ate at one a few months ago (not this restaurant). The quest for profit and cost cutting has gone to far in my opinion...

Went for a family meal around lunch time and had a wonderful meal. The server Alicia was friendly and very helpful, as were all of the staff we encountered. Food was delicious, highly recommend the Smothered chicken burger! The kids food was perfect, very fresh...

The John Milne is local to where I live and I visit on a regular basis with family and friends. I meet with friends on a Monday morning and we have breakfast, knit and natter. The staff are really nice, friendly and always willing to...

Brilliant all you can eat breakfast Inc limitless drinks. Great value, close to the motorway and friendly staff - esp the manager :)

I had a lovely breakfast, was offered porridge which was delicious. Kyle has always been very helpful and friendly

Ordered the smothered platter, asked for medium steak and it was blue, egg had no yoke, gammon was extremely peppery, what was supposed to be crispy chicken strips, that they never had in, but wasn't explained was in fact half a chicken breast that was...

I visited here back in march when visiting family & couldn't wait to come back so yesterday Monday 17th July 2023 had the opportunity to visit again and was so lucky we had carol again as she helped last time we visited still as friendly...

Lots of gluten-free options for our baby happy to do our special requests thanks to Carol and Tina for the service

Food is great can't fault it. The carpets at 8am were disgusting throughout. Like Saturdays food was all over the floor still. Would of taken 20 mins before opening to vacuum.. I came a few days before and it was the same. Not good.

Here for work, lovely blonde girl has been serving us the past few nights, always serving with a smile on her face and Dylan the chef absolutely smashed the steak, comparable to a 5 star restaurant steak

Five of us visited for breakfast this morning after reading previous reviews and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent and plentiful and our waitresses Carol was both helpful and friendly. The choice of food on offer was really good with something for everyone...

Pop in on the way back from Hollingworth Lake. Lovely big beer garden which we had our lunch in. The Staff were amazing and couldn't do enough for you, would definitely recommend

We took our granddaughters for lunch as a treat. Never again. The food was barely warm. The place was cold and there was a lack of staff. 2 people to man the bar and the restaurant. I had to go and find a waitress to...

We spent two nights at the adjoining Premier Inn and booked in for breakfast at the John Milne on the second morning. It was very busy in the dining room, complicated by poor information being passed from the Premier Inn to the John Milne and...

We arrived for a meeting over breakfast but hadn't realised breakfast was about to finish however this didn't matter to Carol and Sophie, they were so friendly and couldn't do more for us to ensure we got our order in for breakfast even though it...

Me and a group of friends arrived on Friday 21st April for a catch up and some drinks, we where greeted by a warm welcome by the barman Callum who suggested we had some cocktails on a special offer they had on which is 2...

My children treated me to breakfast on mothers day. Great food and excellent service especially Carol who served us. Thank you. See you next time.

Lovely family meal was had for our teenager’s birthday. Food was lovely and prompt, especially considering we had 12 of us. Carol served us and was brilliant, even when the teens were being teens! And the chef on today, Doo, provided fantastic food. Thanks again...

I went as a family for a meal with my wife, daughter, son in law and grandchildren. The food was good and tasty all be it pub fare. The best part of the visit was the service from the very friendly staff especially our server...

The staff were brilliant as always. Lovely food. All delicious. Many thanks to Natalie and Kyle for making us feel welcome. And thanks to Doo, Greg and Marco the chefs. Perfect.

Great value breakfast, food is good and you can’t argue with the price! Our server was Katie, who was very helpful and a credit to the establishment. I really hope she gets a chicken one day!

Staff very friendly, good atmosphere Good food Could do with blinds in the conservatory even winter sun makes it uncomfortable in there

One of the busiest days to come so we knew we had to wait but manager Keira made sure we were well looked after, taking her time to get my girl a frozen picture to colour and quick to solve all our needs all night,...

We both ordered the roast chicken dinner and were charged over £11 for each meal! The chicken was precooked and had been whacked on a griddle to heat it up with a couple of potatoes rock hard sprouts cold carrots and a stuffing ball incognito!...

Always a little wary of Hotel attached restaurants.. but this one was surprisingly good. The bitterly cold and windy day was quickly 'blown away' with a lovely warm and airy eating area, nicely laid out with a few diners already seated and eating (though only...

I took my family here for a Sunday night meal and the service and staff were excellent and food was perfect, it was friendly and welcoming from the time we got out of the far to when we left the restaurant.

Went for breakfast this morning- a warm welcome from Kyle, great cooked breakfast from Tina, and pleasant efficient service from Gemma. What a team and what’s even better we are there again tomorrow morning!
