The Buxton in Tameside

Went here for my birthday and had a great time my partners very picky with food and went for the gammon which she loved but she tried my garlic chicken which was amazing and she said she wud get that next time we go the staff were great and the prices were very resonable

A few of us went on Sunday evening, didn't book but a table at the last minute. A good variety on the menu, everything from English to Thai options. We had a shared starter and 3 different Thai dishes, all very nice, good portions and tasty. The waitressess were attentive, would definitely go again.

Went for a meal on 8/6/24 didn't know what to expect but how pleased was I. Spotless place service was very swift and nice and when the food came it was excellent all cooked bang on and plenty of it. Definitely going again.

We had such a disappointing meal this time. Always had a perfect meal previously. The ginger chicken with rice and noodles lacked flavour and could have been hotter. The pudding chips and gravy was not up to its usual standard. The gravy poured over the pudding made it soggy and would have proffered separately.

We were seated at a table by the coffee machine and the draft periodically throughout our stay was most unpleasant. Worse than that were reasons staff gave for the draft, including, that it was the extractor fan. It seemed obvious that, on occasion, doors were left open, resulting in a through draft. No apology was given. Clearly the discomfort of diners was of no consequence. Food was ok, but not very authentic. Evening was not a right off, because we had great dining companions.

Been before and cannot fault the food or the service. The disappointing thing was we were told we couldn't have dessert as the chef was on a break. We were quite taken aback as some of us wanted a dessert. 10 mins later we were told that they wanted our table for 5pm even though all the other tables were free. We felt that this was the reason we couldn't have dessert as they wanted us to go. Very bizarre.

Been before just like before food was amazing. Good portions and really tasty Only issue was that I felt I was being rushed. Server hanging around. Pouncing when glasses were empty. Asked if we wanted dessert and when we said no. Asked if we wanted the bill. Felt like they couldn’t wait to close up and be rid of us. We had a table for 7 30 so it wasn’t late

Really nice atmosphere with gentle music in the background Used to come here 50 yrs ago as a young girl with my friends , it was their local . Very different now with big extension but spacious and inviting serving Thai food and English ( their chef is Thai ) and i the food is absolutely delicious 😋 I had Thai green curry and my husband the beef suet pudding both delicious and would recommend . Very reasonable prices too Which are important in these very economical trying times . To top it all the staff are lovely and so helpful from the young lad on the bar to the two young girls who looked after us Katie and Lucy . Well done girls it was a pleasure to be served by you . Thankyou

we came back to see if last time was a one off? it was the same - a very good evening the staff were pleased and seemed interested and made sure we were looked after good sized potions arrived and was tasty will go again

Food amazing Thai food lovely great value. Thai green curry nice and hot , mixed started so nice everything cooked great and nice and hot . Husband loved prawn pad Thai . We ordered a white wine Pinot was warm and not to our taste so let down a little that’s why 4/5 . 5/5 for food I’d so can’t wait to go back and try other food just wouldn’t order wine again

Just before I start want to say the bar staff and waiting staff are exceptional especially the lad that waited on us big shout out to him, sorry didn't get your name. Now the food, don't no what happened if the cook was off or something but it was terrible on my end of the table. There was 14 of us. I had cajun chicken toast to start, it was that well done it was curled up at ends and that dark bordering of being burnt!!! Tasteless!!! Left it, nothing like your photos. The main Chilli chicken and basil with veg and rice, again couldn't taste chilli or basil!!! Tasteless!!! It was like spot the chicken!!! Then I had salt and pepper chips, they was that well done over fried there was no potato left in middle which says to me they had been fried more than once!! Again Tasteless few fried onions and peppers thrown in the smallest pot. My friend at side of me ordered king prawns and rice they have never seen king prawns, she peeled batter off and they was the smallest prawns going was all batter no prawn!!! My friends boyfriend waited that long for his we had all finished before his meal turned up, red Thai chicken curry which was that thin could of been a soup. I was in a group so didn't want to complain, but if I wasn't wouldn't of paid for what I received, I work in a canteen so no that was so not worth the money and won't be coming again!!

I had no problem with the food and the staff were really nice ours meals were good sized potions played pool and darts afterwards i will go again

Dont waste yr money. We had chicken and cadhew nuts (spot the chicken) about 3 small pieces in it. When we compained the landland said it was portion co trolled What an absolute joke! It was all veg! Not at all worth £12.50. We have been going for years! But no more! We are not being ripped off! Not at all recommended!

I would NOT recommend the Thai restaurant at the Buxton Inn Gee Cross. Me and hubby went tonight. We had chicken skewers for starters they were dry & quite tasteless We then waited almost an hour for mains - note the restaurant wasn't overly busy. Mains came, I had the fried rice & my hubby had sweet & sour chicken & prawn noodles. His dish was awful. The chicken wasn't described on the menu as breaded fried chicken. It was dripping in Grease & tasted of grease. My hubby described it as tasting like a cheap microwave meal He ended up sending a full plate almost back. Service was slow. Its a shame as we love Thai food. He was offered a replacement main meal but we didn't fancy waiting another hour for a different meal. Won't be visiting again unfortunately.

We visited for lunch on a Sunday but mainly had the Thai food which was delicious. The mixed platter starter was varied with a great dipping sauce. The Thai green and red chicken curries were full of flavour ( and vegetables). The steak was huge and well cooked. The staff were welcoming and helpful especially to our party member in a wheelchair. Highly recommended. We’ll be back!!!

Food was excellent 10/10 as usual but my wife ordered a fish dish but got chicken so waited for the correct dish to arrive service leaves a lot to be desired really disappointing be quite a while before we go back and only live local such a shame . Lack of leadership in restaurant seems to be the problem

We had a lovely meal in the restaurant. The staff were excellent and really friendly. Food was delicious (one of our kids is a really picky eater, and he proclaimed it was the best pasta in tomato sauce he’d ever tasted). We had a mixture of Thai and English, and they were all good. My red curry was delicious 👌🏻 Nice relaxed atmosphere.

Went yesterday for our daughter Birthday about 10 of us, the restaurant is well laid out,clean, staff were excellent the girl who served us couldn't have been nicer, starters were brought out quickly, but we weren't rushed we had a good chat before the mains came which was lovely we could take our time, it was quiet so that nay have been why. Tge food was authentic well cooked Thai food

We visited the Buxton on Easter Sunday for family gathering 15 in total. Having booked a while ago and being a large party we were asked to pre order. Pre-order given with a couple of requests that were not on the menu due to fussy eaters. On arrival our table was ready, and once seated were asked if the order was correct, i assume this was to allow any last min changes. The food was quick to be served and was exactly as ordered, the requests we made were carried out to the letter. The food was really well presented, lots of it and filled with flavour. We had a mix of English and Thai food which was enjoyed by all. The staff were lovely and ensured that we had all we needed. Thank you all for a lovely afternoon enjoying delicious food and drinks with family and friends. I'm sure we will be back soon.

Great birthday meal with family and friends, our first time here the Thai food was excellent staff were very attentive and we will be back in Sunday.

Great food once again love it. One of our favourite places to eat x Friendly staff and great drinks . Will defo be back soon

Very Rude landlord, began to shout at three young girls leaving after using the bathroom and was clearly intoxicated while doing so. Definitely wouldn’t return or recommend to anyone.

Lovely Thai food with a small but well balanced menu, have enjoyed two visits in the last few days, the chicken pad Thai is good and is as good as I have eaten.

Great restaurant. Staff very welcoming and food is fab. We have been here a few times and always enjoyed it. Also some of our students have also been and all really liked the food and atmosphere. What sets this restaurant apart from the rest is that not only does it have good food but the beer is good too

I booked a “budget single room” as a base for three nights, whilst I attended a course. Nothing could have prepared me for what the room was like. The bed had a bottom sheet that just about covered the mattress. The quilt was the thinnest I had ever see and it struggled to cover me. The room was freezing. I was just thankful that the quilt I carry for my dog to lie on in the car was with me. I slept under this for two of the three nights.The room had designer stains on the carpet and very trendy black mould around the base of the shower, lots of nails to hang pictures on but not many pictures. Damp patches on the ceiling and a poor attempt to disguise damage, using paint that was several shades away from everywhere else. Furniture looked like it had come out of a skip. The emergency light had a very bright LED, that is supposed to indicate it is charging. The LED was so bright that the whole room was lit in bright green, like something from a spot the alien competition. Sleep was nigh on impossible.No change of towels on day after arrival, had to try to dry myself on damp towels (no heat in room and no heated towel rail). Fortunately someone found the room on day two, so I had the luxury of dry towels.The last night was a real treat, they had someone with a microphone shouting and bawling in the bar below. The sound travelled through the whole upstairs and drowned the sound of the TV.Given that two of us with the dog recently stayed in a lovely warm, comfortable, quiet Travelodge not too far away, for the same number of nights, I fail to see how this place can charge £5 less for a room with next to no facilities.The only good thing about this experience is that I now understand just what a budget single room really is. I wouldn’t wish a stay here on my worst enemy.

Popped into this place for something to eat and found an array of Thai food on the menu. The meal was outstanding and the staff very friendly, helpful and professional. I would highly recommend this as a place to eat and will be returning on my next visit.

First time tonight visiting the Buxton just moved to the area the bar service was good the restaurant was fantastic food service and atmosphere great can’t wait to go again with friends

We came here for lunch when we entered the bar area and looking around into the restaurant we were greeted by a man behind the bar telling us a little abruptly that we had to get our drinks now as he was short staffed,so we ordered our drinks then went into the restaurant by ourselves found our own table.We chose the steak and onion baguettes and cheese and bacon baguette with a portion of chips.The waitress came in later and served the food very delicious and reasonably priced,she was friendly and polite.

Well my Nana insisted we go here after a recent visit with my Aunty. She throughly enjoyed the chilli sea bass but her “few”chips were little too generous. My shezhuan prawn and chicken was delicious also. Hot and tasty. .

Stumbled upon this restaurant/pub and were really pleased Thai food and English available. The broccoli and cheese bake was lovely and it was a large portion. We also had the special black pepper spaghetti (Thai) and it was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. such reasonable prices too would definitely go back and would certainly recommend.

We tried one of the specials beef spaghetti and the prawn wonton they was delicious well recommended x thank you daz

Visited here with family. There is a reasonable choice of Thai and English food and we all enjoyed our meal. Prices reasonable and staff friendly.

Well decided to go here for a birthday tea, there was plenty of choice of Thai, English, noodles,a few starters and heard its nice and reasonably priced.

I love coming here, the food is so nice and service is always great. One staff member who really stands out is Jake, I've been helped by him a few times and he is the most lovely, genuine and helpful person I've ever had the privilege to meet, he is a real attribute to your pub and always makes us feel welcome

I really shouldnt watch four in a bed as you get quite critical. Entered the pub and stood for 5 minutes as no one around. Finally foubd a girl who was sat out of the way sorting cutlery. She looked in the book couldnt find us so shouted to a gentleman upstairs. He came down - very nice man and showed us to our room out the back, explained we had pur own entrance etc. When we walked into the room it looked very pretty. Shabby chic i would call it. Check out the en suite - oh dear (four in a bed check) a poo and a wee left in the toilet! Hairs in the bed, dusty skirting board and bathroom floor felt dusty underfoot but for the price we paid ...... overall good place for an overnight stay

We visited The Buxton on Friday 7th June for a meal and to see the local band 'Diversion'. The whole evening was great. The Thai food was excellent. The 'waiting on' staff did a fabulous job and the band were 'top notch'. What more can we say!

Book a table. Order a starter and main course. Meals was excellent and cooked well. Service was good. But it it came to ordering desserts and another round of drinks. Got told restaurant and kitchen is closed at 8.55. We could not order any more food and you would have to go the bar for your drinks. So our three course meal had to be cut short. So it looks like you would need to book before 7.30pm if you want a dessert.

Recently visited The Buxton for the 2nd time but this time we booked the restaurant and I’m pleased to say that the service and quality of the food was superb. I asked for little more spice and I was perfect. We then stayed on after dinner and I was amazed at how cheap the drinks were, I can say that they are some 20%-25% cheaper than some other local establishments. Well done and we will be returning with family and friends.

Called in as last minute plan. Mother in law birthday . The welcome was nice sat down straightaway Jake the waiter was very attentive through out (nanna) spotted odd socks ha

Called in for some lunch and drink after visiting family in the area we sat in the bar area as we only wanted a snack we had cheese and ham toastie with drinks and a coffee.Food was delicious and service good,the place itself was lovely very cosy we looked at the menu and will definitely call in again and have something from the restaurant next time.

Great Thai food......authentic, fresh and delicious. Really good service, a great place for a spur of the moment night out and great for the weekend 😍

I’m a regular at the Buxton, it’s like home from home for me BUT over the last few months it has gone from good to shockingly bad!

We enjoyed a great meal my husband had English and i had Tai food. friendly staff and nice atmosphere

Fantastic meal, not always sure about Thai food unless it’s from a Thai restaurant but this was possibly one of the best Thai meals I have tasted. Great value for money.

Not really one for writing reviews but after visiting the Buxton for my birthday meal, all food was delicious and everyone happy with what they ordered. Best around

Have been wanting to try a meal here for a while and finally made the effort recently. We went early evening and I think it was the landlord who was taking orders and serving the meals before the waitress arrived a short time later. A little slow on the service considering there were only a few tables eating but the food made up for it, lovely presentation and tasted delicious. We opted for the Thai meals but there were plenty of English dishes to choose from. Restaurant is nice & welcoming and will definitely hope to revisit soon!

We booked one night in the hotel, and for our evening meal we also booked a table in the restaurant. The staff were outstanding, and could not do enough to make our stay exceptional (The management were actually on holiday 20/21st October) Would highly recommend

Below average food, went to the bar for our own drinks and cleared our own glasses. We were pushed out after two hours to make way for a band, we booked weeks in advance but were only told on arrival our time was limited. The girls that work there are lovely but, what I'm assuming is, the manager has poor people skills and is just rude. Pub bit seems ok bar staff are nice, quick and friendly.

We went here for a family meal on Saturday and was really impressed with the quality and quantity of the food. We got the mixed platters for starters - £6 for one, but 2 platters done 4 of us. We then had different main meals - from S&S; Chicken to curries, and was able to have half rice half noodles which was fantastic for me.

Bar staff very welcoming & range of drinks good. Was going for food but they didn't cater for vegan in party & what offered still not 100% vegan so had to cancel. Pity as rest of menu very good.

Four of us enjoyed very good meals at the Buxton on Saturday night, 4th August.

Come here all the time, the food is always superb and reasonably priced. They are very accommodating and will change up the menu to your requirements. They also do pub grub if you don't fancy Thai. Would recommend for any occasion but be sure to book on Fri & Sat as it gets busy.

We ate at The Buxton to celebrate a 30th birthday (14.07.2018) and I have to say, generally speaking, it was a good experience bearing in mind we were a party of 16 including two small children.

Tai and British food offering a good selection, decent sized portions with efficient, friendly service. A little on the expensive side but the quality is good. The only minor issue was that the battered fish seemed to be the type you would buy from the freezer at Tesco. Everything else seemed very fresh. Would definitely go back.

Loved coming here but the past two visits the food was of a poorer quality , and although they offer me my money back , i would rather of eaten a good meal . I was so looking forward to it . On the plus side everyone is very friendly , nice atmosphere and if its an evening when something is on , quiz oct your asked if you want to join in . Good place for a drink and nice outside area to the back of the pub , ideal in this heat .

The first time i have visited Gee Cross area and with the intention of visiting this venue after many good things i have heard about it from friends and colleagues alike. It is on a reasonably quiet street and indeed looks well from the outside in fact, just like the pubs are remembered from the countryside years ago. The place is exceptionally clean and well kept with outside seating at the front which is raised above the road and footpath and more seating at the rear some with a shelter from weather. The accommodation looks good and after enquiring the price seems to be very reasonable. I did not book in or stay but have in the past spoken to colleagues who have and the feedback is indeed good. The toilets are kept clean and tidy which is good considering we visited on a busy summer evening. The food well: i have never heard anything but good about it and those eating all thoroughly enjoyed everything and prices well you get what you pay for, not overly expensive but good value. Attentative staff, plenty of them all clean, good presentation and appearance and well mannered and polite. Car park is large and plenty of spaces. The beers are also good. Thank you Barbara and Husband see you soon.

Visited this pub /restaurant to celebrate a family birthday. The venue is split into two parts, the first a traditional public house with bar area and games room, the other a Thai themed restaurant. The restaurant food was very good with generous portions. Service was good, staff polite and friendly. Good range of gins behind the bar.

Thai food is excellent tried several different dishes and have never been disappointed it’s not expensive either, also the service is very good but don’t take my word for it go and try yourselves.

I telephoned to book a room, several weeks in advance of the date. I spoke to the person in charge of bookings, he accepted my booking, We went for a meal the following week, whilst there I spoke to the bar staff about the booking , I had not had any conformation. They looked in the book and there was nothing there. The landlord was not there to query this, the 2 young men were very helpful, they wrote my details in the book along with an e-mail address and phone number. The following week we returned for another meal.again i asked for a conformation of my booking. I was told the landlord was in the bath when I asked to speak to him, at the end of our meal,

Literally just back from here,and it was so good I am writing this report whilst still full!

Came here as by birthday treat and I had a lovely time. I love the duel menu as it means everyone can have what they want without being made to feel different- it is a fab pub - no it’s not as polished as some “gastro” eateries but is is a real local asset.

attended here at lunchtime on a Saturday-we were after some food having been out walking in the area-there were 2 other tables with people at them when we sat down with one person serving-probably 10 people in total with us included--we sat there for fifteen minutes with no offer of taking the order or taking a drinks order-I went from the restaurant to the bar to try to order some food but was told the waiter would be with us shortly-he was not and we left

Visited the Buxton as a party of 6 and enjoyed a pleasant Tai meal.Food and service good but what made the night was the live music. It’s good to in a pub with some life and everybody enjoying themselves

Absolutely fantastic everytime we visit. The landlord Andrew is a pleasure to be around and the food is spectacular!! Would definitely recommend and will be returning as usual!

I sent this message on the 27th January 2018 via facebook as i am a local and to date had no response which is a little poor.

I visit the here regularly & have always been so happy with the food & service. What happened last night upset me immensely. I had taken my family here to show them how lovely it was there were 4 of us in total, it was a special occasion. Our table was booked for 5.30pm by the time we ordered & got our food it was gone 6pm the food was lovely. Then we were going to order dessert & champagne only to be told we had to leave our table in 35mins as a table of 14 people were coming in, I was appalled so we didn’t bother. I asked the waiter who was very apologetic to let the manager know how we felt which he did, but the manager didn’t even bother to come over to see us. I understand that people cannot sit all night at a table but to be told we had only half hour to order desserts champagne is scandalous. Maybe you should be telling people this when they book a table.

Having had the pleasure of writing an excellent review following our visit last October I booked again for myself, my wife and my sister who was visiting us from Scotland...

Very busy at weekend, very efficient pleasant staff, food ok nothing spectacular but lots of choice on Thai menu and small English menu, limited stodgy sweet menu. I had mixed starter which was dry and not very nice followed by Chillied Sea bass which was really over cooked and the coconut rice was tasteless but my husband had Chicken with Basil and Chilli which was very nice but again the rice was tasteless. After eating the live music began which was a pleasant suprise. at the end of the evening the landlord was eager to empty the pub.

Sunday lunch for my mum's birthday. Food is alway good. Service is good and staff are friendly and helpful. We will be back.

I went here after a quick search for local pubs with good food,we were not disappointed at all...in fact we have been back several times since,you are walmly welcomed and well fed and watered, it is now my favourite place to go out for lunch or dinner.

I was looking forward to visiting this establishment as I had already been for a Thai meal at their other place in Glossop. I must say that this restaurant is nicer inside and has a separate section to eat in. The service from the young man waiting on was also excellent. The food however was certainly not up to the standard I would have liked. The starter was nice, however the masaman curry lacked flavour and was rather watery. I was also somewhat amused by the gentleman who I assume was the landlord. He was rather scruffy looking and was not very skilled in the role of host.

We have been to The Buxton 4 times now and found the Thai food to be excellent. The staff are very attentive and polite.We would recommend The Buxton.

Excellent food and staff extremely friendly. Would definitely recommend 100% We will be back soon to try more from the menu.

Took my husband for a meal for his birthday service was excellent staff amazing food was outstanding best meal we have ever had we will be going there again

Good lively atmosphere, quick service and good food. The decor was interesting with musical instruments dotted around the walls. Great rock and roll band to follow.

I have been a few times now, I can't praise the place enough. Food is wonderful & service is excellent. Going to book the family in for my dad's birthday in December. Thank you. Xx

The Thai food is amazing, I have been 3 times now in the past 3 months with family and friends! The service from my last visit was exceptional!

Excellent experience . Very good food at very reasonable price.All bar and waiting staff were friendly and accommodating. Will be back.

Having spent time in Thailand it was close to feeling like I was back there... apart from the cold, the rain and dark skies... good service and well cooked food and if you have a member of your party who is not a lover of the traditional Thai meal well there is a versatile menu to select more regular English dishes... Great to see this pub flourishing again... Enjoy.

Good menu of British pub food, but also a good selection of Thai dishes. Authentic Thai Chefs and Kitchen staff gives some different choices to the traditional pub food.

Mainly tai food but also offer English menu, big potions reasonable prices. The food is fresh home cooked

Lovely food and lovely staff.....landlord sat with us and had a chat...very friendly and welcoming place and food is amazing!

Brilliant food, brilliant drinks, brilliant staff. I would highly recommend the Buxton Inn. 5* all round

We went to the Buxton during May and the food certainly lived up to expectations, lovely. The owners also waited tables and did an excellent job, it was very apparent they loved what they were doing.
