The Dane Bank in Tameside

We organised and attended a school reunion at the Dane Bank after leaving Wright Robinson High School 42 years ago! As there was meant to be a live band on in the main bar we worried we would not be able to hear each other speak and the weather was not warm enough to be in the beer garden, so we asked if we could use the vault and this was agreed. The vault was quite tired looking but the bar staff were friendly and drinks were good. Not only that but we had the room to ourselves all night. Great night and loads of fun. Thanks for the use of the vault!

The food was amazing! I had chicken tika kebab with extra spice n hubby had fish n chips, both were outstanding. Waiting staff were very busy but also very friendly. The beer garden tables just need a tidy up as look a bit tired and worn. Lovely day in the massive beer garden. Highly recommend

First time visitor, the food was amazing, as a resident of the local area it’s good to have 2 decent food pubs on your doorstep with the Dane Bank & the Queens

Just moved to the area ! The staff are all really friendly and extremely helpful!! The food was gorgeous n they even went out of their way to help my vegetarian friend n explained her potatoes would take a little longer !! I will most definitely go back !! Dog friendly too !! What’s not to like !!!

the food was crap and not run well, the service was bad some of the family the day after were sick, joke out fit

Decided to try the crunchy hot cheese dirty basket. Delicious!!! The perfect dish for cheese lovers. Jalapeno poppers deed fried halloumi warm brie wedges and mozzarella sticks. Would highly recommend it.

Spent the early eveving in the garden area....very busy which was a good sign. Nice home made food. We all enjoyed our meals and will return

Lovely Sunday roast, friendly professional staff, great value . Nice atmosphere , been few times always good

12/10 for food and service because both are always spot on!! The food is always very tasty and they have quite a few different options, it's not just your normal run of the mill pub with the same 5 meal options you get in most places. The staff are very friendly and even when it's busy I feel looked after.

Went out with my family for tea. The food was exceptional all home made and the home made chips were the best ever. Would highly recommend.

A great friendly family pub. Lovely atmosphere. Excellent food. The staff couldn’t be more helpful. We will definitely be back for more visits. Thank you.

Owners just dont give a stuff.. First we were over charged, then they took the food to the wrong table, the burger was raw on the inside so much so that even the staff pulled their faces when we showed it them. My husband is allergic to cucumber and we made this completely clear but the woman behind the bar didn't write it down - they dont take allergies seriously. When his food arrived it was covered in cucumber, he explained he couldn't eat it as was allergic to it... she took the plate back into the kitchen and swiftly brought it back and said the chef said just pick it off... this place is so hit and miss. I asked to speak to the Chef to find out he was the Manager and actually part owner, the owner was not only serving raw burgers but telling people with allergies to pick out the bits of food they are allergic to........ I have photos and I am going to report these to every authority I can to ensure that no one else experiences this, the food is overly expensive and being honest the staff actually don't care, if you look below you can see they don't even respond to their reviews! There's so many complaints here due to rude staff and poor food the only thing it has going for it is the big outdoor space, there's so many better places to go than the Dane Bank that serve poor food and have faces like they want to just go home. So the chef is a chef, a manager and a owner, I asked to speak to him and he didn't even have time - why?? Because they just don't care about people - just money grabbing!

Lady behind the bar was very rude. Came to have a family meal, told no room for a meal but the place was empty. We had family from New Zealand, was told to go here as they are great. Nope, horrible atmosphere, never felt unwanted ever in the UK compared to this place. Never again and none of my students or friends will go here from now on.

Today 5/11/2022 i visited the Dane Bank with my grandson for a lunch once again the service and food were top notch and as the saying goes we will be back thanks again everyone at the Dane Bank

Came here for tea with family and friends on 16th August 2022.The general consensus was that at best,food "wasn't bad." It's a while since I've previously dined here,certainly pre-covid and I always used to enjoy the Sunday lunches,good value for money.With it being tea time,I chose to have Beef Pudding from the menu.I wish I hadn't.The pudding,if that's what it was,arrived swilling in gravy,looking like a submarine which was rising from the deep!It was completely tasteless and sloppy!It was accompanied with chips,which were good,but a few more wouldn't have gone amiss and mushy peas which were almost tasteless. I would definitely recommend that this particular dish is avoided,but wouldn't tell people to avoid this pub at all costs!The pub is pleasant,family orientated with a good size beer garden with plenty of outdoor seating.and my pint of Dizzy Blond was nice and thirst quenching. My experience wouldn't put me off giving it another try,but I would be a bit more cautious about what I eat!

We nipped in here for quick girly catchup lunch not been since pre co vid as we don't live locally. But well worth the car journey We both had hot sandwiches & the best chips ever certainly homemade like my Nana used to make fabulous great value We saw other food coming out that looked equally as good Can't Wait To do another lunch try something else with chips of course.

Unbelievable. You go to order food and are told ONLY bookings can have food !! WHY advertise then ? if this is how you treat your custom to satisfy bookings then then don't advertise food SIMPLE !!

My son and his girlfriend flew In from Sweden for his birthday. Although we are regulars at the Dane Bank, we've never eaten there. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food and the service. You normally have to order your food from the bar but as there were eight of us, the waitress came to our table to take our order to make it simpler, going above and beyond the call of duty. The food was excellent, far better than we expected for a local pub. After the meal we settled in to enjoy the delights of the jam night, which happens every Friday from 9pm. There was a wealth of local talented musicians on display, including my youngest son. I would thoroughly recommend Friday night at the Dane Bank as a great night out, fabulous food, service and free entertainment. Thanks to Hosts James and Carly for their warm welcome.

What a great pub, visited here Saturday night I had the lasagne and chips. The lasagne was lovely and the homemade chips best I've ever had in a pub. They had a band on, who where great had the whole pub dancing. Superb pub great staff and landlord ! Will definitely go back. Bet they do a cracking Sunday roast ?

Second visit to this place to eat. Very welcoming and friendly service today. Good choice and big portions of good traditional pub food, covering all tastes. Excellent value for money. We pre-booked as there was 6 of us ,and had a lovely table near to the roaring fire( safe).

I have never, ever been served such a ginormous portion of chilli before, it was very tasty and they boxed up what I couldn't finish, to bring home. The homemade chips were to die for! The only downside is the seating, mainly hard, uncomfortable chairs....

Had a lovely afternoon. Staff were great and table service was excellent, really efficient. All felt really safe

Didn’t try food, just called for a post match drink with a few friends. Very busy, but still managed to get served quick at the bar

Four of us plus two dogs booked in for lunch today. We elected to dine in the bar area so we could keep our dogs with us. The staff were remarkably kind and accommodating, and the first surprise was the dogs were given warm roast beef treats. The service was perfect, the portions were massive, the food was the best we've eaten for a long time. I'm impressed.

We are regulars at the Danebank which serves delicious pub food at low prices. Everything is homemade and the chunky chips are fantastic. It offers a varied menu including tapas. The service can be a little slow at times but the food is always well worth the wait.

The ONLY 2 things that lets this place down are the very dirty pint glasses for the ales and the lack of communication from any staff when youve been waiting over an hour for food. I just don’t understand why you wouldnt check each glass is sparkling before serving one of the ales?? Its really something that has been noted by other diners too. Also, a simple courtesy visit to your table to update you about how long your food is going to be would go a very long way here. Hope the manager can raise their standards a bit as the food is really good and homemade.

First time visiting the pub as moved in the area. It was a very hot night so the beer garden was full which left plenty of room in the pub. The food was fresh, giant portions and full of flavour. We had the burger, beef pudding and chicken madras. Wasn’t expecting too much but it was fresh, tasty and everything was really well cooked.

visited again recently to a family birthday do in the room upstairs, the food was great and the service also, a really good night out which we all enjoyed..

Waited a long time for the local pub to be upgraded. My second review of the Dane Bank since refurb. I called a week or two ago to ask if we could bring in a well behaved dog. I was politely told that I could use the Vault of the beer garden so waited for a nice day.Yesterday was a nice day - so we strolled down to our local pub for the second time in 25 years!Recently advertising Tapas so I thought we'd give it a go. Haddock goujons; lovely, halloumi and chilli dip; too much halloumi for me(!); Garlic prawns (kept repeating on me and put me off my tea) came with lovely fresh bread, Patatas Bravas; divine.Large beer garden with amusements for the kids - but a gap in the fence resulted in small people disappearing into the 'brush' before being retrieved by parents.I think if - they dressed the garden with some bright planting/baskets/ repaired the hole in the fence ./ and took a leaf out of other trendy spaces where dogs are welcomed - they would get 5 stars. The dog friendly pubs I have found are always rammed. Seriously. But I get that not everyone would approve. Overall - very good and will come again.

The hotel is great for food and the catering staff are really affable. They have a lot to put up with when stupid customers choose to sit near an outside door where staff have to keep opening the door to deliver food to clients in the garden area, and complain that it is draughty. Why do they not move to a more comfortable area away from droughts, and constant door openings. The ambiance is very pleasant but stupid people make for an amusing lunchtime!!!

Went here for food as not eaten in here for a while Good choice on the menu we ordered steak, chicken kebab and a children’s meal steak was good kebab was amazing also chocolate cake was good - very happy all round 😊

Just sampled 10 different dishes on the Tapas menu and each one was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was reasonably priced. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

Drinks were reasonably priced, food was also fair prices. Surroundings were very classy and tasteful and very welcoming.

went today for lunch......good menu...expensive for pub grub....waited a long time for food...and it wasnt busy.the food was good home made chips .I had a nice ham sandwich ..ham home cooked fresh bread with butter..... salad........4.95...very good value and my friend had steak pudding she said it was excellent......

Went in on at 7ish on a Saturday night wasn’t too busy we managed to get a seat

This was our second visit to the Dane Bank and once again the food and service was excellent. We had their Christmas Menu which is 3 courses at a bargain price (£16.99 I think?!?).

Fantastic late afternoon Sunday Lunch. Reasonably priced for a lot of lunch, real mash potato(mashed on premises not some factory) and proper gravy. Good choice of kids meals and a real wood fire.

Terrible staff disorganised Party of 10 all our food came at different times Our celebration ruined C Don’t bother going

Stopped in at the Dane bank after walking in Reddish Vale, we decided on the Steak and Ale pie and were not disappointed, lovely rich gravy with large pieces of succulent Steak, topped with the flakiest of pastry lids!

Have lived near and around this pub most of my life and never tried it , went for a meal today we both had fillet steak not a bad price and the food was delicious, I had ordered the sirloin but that had ran out and offered me fillet for the same price fresh chips side salad will definitely be returning

Visited today with my daughter and mum.

this is a fabulous place for really good food.we had steak burger and chips...lovely burger and home made chips..lovely surrounding. .really nice and relaxed atmosphere. ..and brilliant menu really excellent prices we have been at leaSt six times and had something different every time.

For every 2.5 people that visit this place, 1 person thinks it’s terrible and this is completely down to the staff.

Such a lovely place, but definitely needs alot of work/training with staff doing. Over an hour and a half wait for food. And staff just don't care. Might of just been a bad day.

Went it during my lunch break today. I pre-ordered the food which was ready within 5 mins of arriving.

So...they told me it would be an hours wait - fair enough. I waited 2 1/2 hours.

I previously wrote a review and gave it 5 stars. The food is amazing and if it’s sunny, it’s got a great beer garden. However, after visiting again this week I have to say how much the staff let this place down. They’ve never been overly friendly and are borderline rude. No smile, no conversation, I asked for another bottle of mayonnaise as the one they gave us was empty and just got attitude back.

So nice to get back to writing a positive review!

Today 14 of us came for a meal at the Dane Bank pub, we rang up and asked to book for 12.30 and were asked to come in for 12pm due to the number of us. The door was not opened until 12.10pm with no apology for the time we were stood waiting. As we went in we went up to the bar at several intervals to order food and drinks and I cannot believe how ignorant, rude and miserable the staff were. Despite the amount of money we spent there today, we chose to eat there. The manner of the bar maid who served me was incredible rude and we felt nothing less than a hinderance to her. Lovely food but disappointing service.

After hearing how changed this pub was I went for meal on Sunday with a friend .

We went to the windmill today for breakfast and I can honestly say, it was the best breakfast I've had for a long time. Even my fussy partner sang their praises. The staff served us at the till within 30 seconds of arriving and we were handed plates and told to help ourselves to the buffet. For both breakfasts and two lattes it cost a very reasonable £13.

Been here a few times now. The landlord has tidied the place up but unfortunately not the staff. There is one particulary member that spends more time preening herself in the mirror than attending to customers and has a very rude attitude. Meals are on off, one minute very good and the next shocking. Will not be going back until either some of the staff are gone or even the landlord.

Attended a funeral wake at the Dane Bank and the Landlord excelled in food and hospitality, .service and attention to detail superb, will visit again with in happier circumstances.

First time we have been in this evening , what a lovely local pub , food was fantastic , really warm welcome , great Czech lager on draught, definitely be back definitely recommend to friends and family :)

I've been here an several occasions and have to say that I've never been disappointed.

Amazing food. Home cooked chips and the fish was huge. My 8oz fillet was melt in the mouth. Nice play area for the kids. Cosy and small, just right for a layed back lunch.

The Dane Bank is a much improved Establishment, Robinson’s have splashed the cash & you have to say - it’s worked.

We gather as a group of friends at the Dane Bank every few months and have a pleasant lunch time...

Just been in the dane bank to have some food since it was rebranded have to say the food was...

Good quality,reasonably priced pub food.Friendly and efficient service and a good pint of Robinson’s bitter.I had the cheese pie which...

Visited Saturday (16th) and had a fantastic time. Came for the food which was fantastic and such large portions. Stayed for the music and atmosphere into the evening. Great night had by me my husband and our friends. The tall young barman definitely gets my compliments. Will certainly be coming back one weekend soon

Encantador pub, gran jardín de la cerveza, la buena comida, pero el servicio es malo y grosero el personal arrogante lo bajó drásticamente.

Llegamos allí para las 18:00 cuando los pedidos de comida comenzó y a sólo un par de personas delante de nosotros en el bar, pero tuvimos que esperar una hora para la comida. nos dijeron que tendríamos que esperar un poco. . Cuando llegó la comida era adorable, pero una vez más es siempre el tiempo que pasé en el bar esperando a que te sirvan un virus desnudos en este pub. No me puedo quejar. Aunque las comidas

Decisión de último minuto para salir para el té con la familia. Nos las arreglamos para conseguir una mesa en aviso de que para ser honestos es inusual. Las 5 comidas eran acertadas y el servicio era genial. Tuvo problemas en el pasado no había suficiente personal de bar y tener que esperar años para una bebida, pero tengo que ser sincero y decir que no era un problema esta noche. Disfrutamos de nuestra comida.

Fantastic meal. Fantastic amount for small roast. Fantastic prices. This is a small friendly public house with beer garden. Kids welcome. Play area for kids.

Food very good apart from their home made chips which always look and taste like the oil needs changing. The pub is fine with a huge beer garden, the problem is every time we have an hot day you queue for ages to get served. When are these business people gonna learn that when the weather forecast is hot please bring in extra staff. 4 times this summer I have gone in there, queue for ages, doubled up on my order and when I have gone back to the bar the queue is the same again so we have walked out.The answer is when the weather forecast a good day on the weekend bring in extra staff, simple.

I could never understand how such a good looking and fairly well located place had not been refurbished ages ago. The Dane Bank is walking distance from me and I have been meaning to go for a meal for some time. The party of 4 was was not disappointed. Mum wasn't too keen on the décor which is a bit retro (she likes bright and modern) but the rest of us thought it was perfectly acceptable; although comfort may have been sacrificed in favour of the style of the old fashioned 'bistro bar' chairs. There is a great menu with something for everyone. We asked for 2 x Cheese and Onion Garlic bread as a starter (sharing 2 portions between the 4 of us). It came with just 2 plates - but didn't last long as it was delicious. Then we all had something different. I had a Chilli with cheese, rice and chips. The rice was perfectly fluffy, the chips were outstanding and the chilli was good with generous cheese topping. There was just so much of it - two thirds of the serving would have sufficed and half would have done for me! Mum had Trio of Quality pork sausages and mash in onion gravy. She could only eat 2 sausages and half the mash but confirmed that is was lovely. One sister had the chicken wrap - again massive portion and well received. The last diner had lasagne, chips and salad and reported that it was 'really good'.Everything was served promptly and piping hot - and it is not expensive at all. Because of the lack of soft furnishings, Mum found it quite noisy however one poorly controlled noisy child may contributed a lot! As Mum found it difficult to hear the conversation and we left after about an hour and a half - but we will definitely go again.The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 was the lack of comfortable chairs (although there is banquette seating - which I find uncomfortable anywhere... and the noise.

I came with my partner for Birthday meal,The steaks we ordered were cooked perfectly , This Is a great little find and will be coming back, the staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble !!!!!! Thanks again they are a credit to the pub

Disappointing meal....So after the sweet chilli sizzler arriving in black-bean sauce, the chilli/rice arriving warm and the unwanted hair I found in the bowl of chips I'm not sure if what was worse, oh yes the attitude of the staff! I raised the warm food, incorrect order and hair found in the chips to be told 'it's not my hair' by the member of the bar staff who served the food. I think the point is it doesn't matter who's hair it is it doesn't belong in the food that just come out of your kitchen area. On equating whether a refund would be considered for the meal that was incorrect I was told she'd had to ask the chef! Surely this is the decision of the landlord not the chef on how this is dealt with. We then had to put up with two members of the staff team stood at the end of the table disagreeing with our feedback which was quite embarrassing with other customers being present. One member of staff did offer to make a fresh portion of chilli which returned very quickly after obviously being just warmed in the microwave which meant we wasn't able to start eating as a family. What happened to the customer is always right....this isn't how I expected to be spoken to or treated when out for a meal and paying for food!!

Went for Sunday lunch with the family and most of us enjoyed a good meal.Fish and chips, the chilli and the Sunday dinner were all great - good-sized portions and decent pub grub.However the vegetarian options are limited and rather dull; vegi burger or cheese pie. Having had the burger on a previous visit and was disappointed I opted for the pie. It was soggy, overcooked and quite unappetising...My son chose the children's burger and chips and didn't enjoy his burger - served on a plain, dry bun. If there were pasta dishes for us veggies and kids we'd have all been happy. Come on Dane Bank, get some simple pasta dishes on your menu - easy to make and they would go down a treat and improve some diners' experience no end! We finished off with coffees.

Excellent food.very good value for money ..nice surroundings. Lots of space for children to play outdoors in large gardens. .good place for family parties ...

Excellent food,ample portions especially good are the well done thick chips.nice area our dude at the back.only thing wrong really was the very slow service at the bar

We have been many times now and always had a fantastic Sunday lunch. We tend to go as soon as they open on a Sunday to make sure we can get a table, if you are going around the peak time of 2pm on Sunday you will likely need to book.The meat has alway been nicely cooked, with proper gravy and perfectly cooked veg, I especially appreciate the cauliflower as many places over cook it to the point of being inedible.The standard size Sunday lunch would possibly be termed large elsewhere and the large is enormous!When we have had other items from the menu my wife would recommend the lasagne and I am a big fan of their steaks.The hand cut chips are excellent and go fantastically well with the steak an ale pie.

Booked a table for 8 people for a Sunday afternoon. Arrived to find that the kitchen was unable to take food orders as they were too busy and didn't know how much food they had left. The staff and facilities are unable to cope with the number of customers. There are far too many people, impossible to get to the bar. Absolutely terrible service. Left after 5 minutes.

called in for a meal recently on a busy Saturday evening to be told "the kitchen was closed" massive queue for drinks also , it took 20 minutes to get served ? two young women serving very nice but not enough staff behind the bar ?

Excellent food and extremely good value worth booking at the weekend as this is very popular especially for Sunday lunch.

Mid week visit, food wasnt up to much. Cold and reheated sides. Meat was excellent to be fare.Wouldn't exactly say good for children. The 2 times I visited the men's, 2 lads in cubicle doing drugs, from what it sounded like. I wasn't born yesterday, wasn't even trying to be discreet, as though it was normal thing to do in this restaurant. Won't be visiting again. Go to the Queens in Denton. Much better food and no riff raff.

We were invited to The Dane Bank for tea because a friend was to play in an open mic music night.There is a small car park but you can park on the road at the side too. The main room was very busy when we arrived and there was a bit of a delay at the bar to be served. We announced we had a table booked for tea and there was someone sat there even though it had a Reserved Label. It was no problem though as the chap was happy to move. There's a nice atmosphere in there. It's quite a noisy room because of the high ceiling and when everyone was talking we struggled to hear each other, but we are getting on a bit! Then we ordered our food. My three companions had sirloin steak and peppercorn sauce. They all loved it and said the home cooked chips were to die for!Being vegetarian and on a diet I didn't have as much choice so asked if I could have a vege burger and salad (not on the menu) and they were very accommodating and happy to help me, thank you!The service was good and the food delicious. The artists came on after nine and provided great entertainment.All in all a great night in a lovely venue.It is worth mentioning that there is a huge beer garden at the rear with children's play equipment. Could be a good choice on a sunny day. Give it a go!

Visited the Dane Bank on a Monday lunchtime- party of 6 ranging from 2 toddlers to great grandparent in her late 80's. The food was excellent and really good value too - so much better than the offerings of many bigger pub chains.. This was our first visit to the Dane Bank and found the atmosphere relaxed and friendly - would definitely go again.

Met up with an old friend for something to eat. Have to say the food was delicious. All home made and really tasty. I had the lasagne which came with salad and chips, real old fashioned chips like mum used to make. My friend had the steak and ale pie with chips and peas. Big chunks of steak in a delicious gravy topped with light puff pastry.Very good value for money. There is a good range of soft drinks too. I would have given it 5 but to be honest there was a very long wait for drinks at the bar, and also there was a quiz on, which we decided to join, then gave it up as we could not hear the questions, due to the terrible sound system. But they definitely get a 5* for food.

We recently visited the Dane Bank ,for the first time, to celebrate a birthday there were four adults in the Party. We entered an L shaped are with a bar at the heel of the L and at the rear of the room there was exit (Summer use) to a large outside space. The dining area was basic, but comfortable. We had two large roast lamb lunches,plus a small chicken Lunch, plus a chicken curry. These were set Lunch menus for a Sunday, and were ordered at the bar. We do not pretend to be food experts but the meals were excellent, plenty on the plate, well presented and very nicely cooked.Given that the service was also very friendly and efficient, we all enjoyed this Sunday lunch experience, and would look forward to visiting the Dane Bank again in the near future.

Decided to stop off for a quick lunch,what a mistake, the coffee was so weak it was barely recognisable as coffee, and the chips were terrible, possibly homemade but soggy and only lukewarm and I hate getting what is described as a salad along with my sandwich,which consists of a bit of lettuce tomato onion and cucumber, that is not a salad but a garnish.

My friend and his partner went in here on NYE after calling to book two places. They came at 11pm ready for the festivities, the doors were locked so they knocked and were let in. They were then approached by a large bald man whom they found out later on was the owner.He then proceeded to intimidate and poke my friend in the chest, demanding why he walked in! My friend explained he had booked with a lady on the phone, at this point everyone in the pub was staring at the altercation and it was just plain embarrassing as the owner was clearly intoxicated.The owner said there was no lady and no bookings over the phone, that he was a liar. My friend decided to leave at this point as the guy was clearly drunkenly aggressive, and didn't want to hear reason or even care about basic customer service.I have visited the Dane Bank Pub before and had sub par service so this is just the icing on the cake that I won't be returning ever again and I'd advise others to avoid it too.

love this place, especially on a thursday for the pub quiz, go in for tea and stay for the quiz! peri peri wrap or this chilli con carne is lovely! x

Prices for food very good. Lovely home cooked food. We all had sandwiches carved beef ham home cooked bread fat chips and salad less than a fiver each for a full lunch beautifully presented in a nice seating area at the back the day was really nice weather was good with a bottle of wine which was very nice we'll done dane bank

Unpleasant staff, grumpy and rude. Wouldn't come back again. Trying to make the place into something its not - its a drinkers pub not a family friendly place. Those tiles on the walls give a feeling as if you are sat in the bathroom
