The Farrars Arms in Oldham

Nice place and great service .had Sunday roast Beef . Beef fatty . Don’t thinks it’s topside cut ?? Plenty of gravy , but it needs a small gravy boat for the big Yorkshire pudding which was the best, roast puds hard veg very nice , would go back . Just needs little tweeks . I’m local to this pub just being honest

Service is great, and food is Great, love this place x

The staff are always friendly and the food is second to none, I recommend the salt and pepper chips, thay are gorgeous 😍.

Always get consistently great food and service at The Farrars Arms. Recommend booking as weekends in particular can be very busy!

Booked for Sunday lunch. Friendly. relaxed service, nice proper pub interior. Food was perfect, crispy roast potatoes, good amount of veg, tender lamb and delicious cheese and onion pie. All felt home made, was hot, tasty and well-priced - loved every mouthful.

All the staff here are great especially the young girl called Tiegan, always polite and willing to help

First visit and well worth the drive to get there. Definitely be back!

Staff friendly and helpful. Food OK but a bit bland

Really good cheese and onion pie.

absolutely incredible, the staff, the food the ambience, we went on a packed bank holiday sunday and nothing was too much trouble. I had the lamb roast dinner and it was so good, the cauliflower cheese was to die for! My mum even left her neck scarf there and because we'd travelled from Chester they posted it back to her. We will definitely return and will be sure to let everyone know how amazing it is. Keep up the great work guys 🥰

We got recommended this place for Sunday dinner and what a recommendation it was! Lovely pub, amazing staff and top quality food. Highly recommend to anyone wanting some good pub grub with a great atmosphere. Can't wait to return.

Fantastic evening ! great food entertainment and staff lovely . Highly recommended will be returning soon 👌

Booked a table here off the back of a rave review on Facebook by Manchester's finest. The staff were all super friendly & service was quick. Starters (mushroom bruschetta & tempura prawns) were both nice enough, but the roast was pretty underwhelming sadly. The beef was a little on the tough side but the roast potatoes were even tougher, felt like they’d been sat under a heat lamp for ages and not crispy at all, just hard. The cauli cheese was tasty. Slightly disappointed with the food, but the service was good and it’s always nice to not have to cook a Sunday dinner yourself so there’s that!

First time here Yesterday had a beef roast plenty of food & well presented sadly Beef was " chewy" the roast Spuds too hard to even cut !. The service was excellent. On complaining I wasn't charged for my glass of wine . Not impressed with this food . Especially charging £7 50 for a Pudding [ desert]

Brilliant service from all the staff

Great place to eat and chill after work

Came because they had a cheese and onion pie to go with the sunday roast which is very good for me as a vegetarian.. the pie has hardly any onion aswell which is a massive plus for me. It is perfect. The beer I had was speiegelau, which I've never seen anywhere before and was excellent. Staff very helpful and friendly. 45 minute drive away and totally worth it.

The most appalling experience I've ever had , useless staff and waited over an hour for our starters and another for our mains. When the food arrived it was disgusting and I left my meal . Staff didn't even ask why I left a the whole meal. Will never go back.

Service and food was shocking waited over 1 hour for starters and then other 45 minutes for mains. Never going back

Called in for lunch food was lovely would definitely go back.

Lovely food , very nice staff . Lots of families enjoying tea out . Car park over the road . Only slight whinge is the hand cut chips were a little pale and dry , but not a reason not to return . Pork belly bites were to die for and the stone baked pizzas were lovely to . Nice tea out 9/10 x

Lovely pub, cosy atmosphere, clean and comfortable seats and extremely friendly staffs! The food was pretty good. Personally, their fish and chips were the best among everything else we ordered. A bit weird to mention, but the bathroom is very nice and clean! Pet friendly as well!

Went for Sunday lunch, service was good, nice chilled out atmosphere and reasonably priced. The meat was a bit tough and hard to cut through otherwise the meal was nice.

Nice place for a meal and a drink, great service, can't fault it

We parked no problems the pub was uncomfortable busy standing room only.The bar staff were good no worries getting your drinks the food was excellent presentation and quality. Our only issue was the noise levels you couldn't have a conversation round the table. I understand that you need people to get atmosphere but you couldn't move.

I booked a table here because I saw these loaded fondue brisket fries on the menu and they were so nice! Incredible. Short drive from dovestone Resevoir. Staff really friendly too

Very friendly service. Food was hot and delicious and very good value for money. It's a very clean cosy atmosphere in the pub. Definitely 5 stars.

Cracking pub and great people with a vibrant atmosphere, great food and selection of beers.

Lovely accommodating staff and good food. What more do you need. 4* as the pizza was good but could be tastier and needs more meat. I recommend the homemade chips.

Called in for a couple of drinks 🍸 the pub was really busy football was on

A gem of a country pub serving splendid pub classics and some modern additions to. We visited at Sunday lunch so I ordered the cheese and onion pie with all the trimmings which included a fine Yorkshire pudding with vegetarian gravy. There's enough on the menu to please everyone. The pub itself is a fine old building with exposed beams and plenty of tables and seating All the staff were most helpful and friendly too. I'd book ahead for a Sunday.

A Gem in Oldham: The Farrars Arms (4.5 stars) Tucked away in Oldham, The Farrars Arms is a hidden gem that shouldn't be missed. With a rating of 4.5 stars, it's no surprise this place is a local favorite. My experience certainly lived up to the hype! First Impressions: The pub itself has a charming atmosphere. It balances a traditional pub feel with a modern touch, creating a warm and inviting space. The staff were fantastic from the get-go. Friendly and attentive, they made us feel welcome and helped navigate the menu. Be warned though, booking a table is a must! The place was buzzing on a weeknight, so planning ahead is key. Food for the Soul: Onto the main event - the food! The menu offered a great selection of dishes, with something to please every palate. I opted for the pepperoni pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh and high-quality, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. My friends went for the Rag pudding and the Cheese and Bacon burger, they were equally impressed. The portions were generous without being overwhelming, leaving us perfectly satisfied. A Memorable Evening: Overall, The Farrars Arms exceeded expectations. The delicious food, friendly service, and lively atmosphere made for a truly enjoyable evening. A word of advice: definitely book a table in advance, and be prepared to be impressed! This is a place I'll definitely be revisiting soon. Minor Nibble: The only slight downside was having to book in advance due to how busy they were. While it's a testament to their popularity, it might not be ideal for those who prefer a more spontaneous dining experience. Final Verdict: Despite needing a reservation, The Farrars Arms is a must-try for anyone in the Oldham area. With fantastic food, friendly staff, and a great atmosphere, it's easy to see why it's a local favorite. 4.5 stars out of 5!

The food is excellent, delicious pub grub plus other modern choices and incredible pizzas. The traditional Sunday roast lunch is not to be missed, the option of pies ‘with all the trimmings’ is amazing. The bar team are phenomenal, friendly, welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. Surroundings are traditional with lots of character, very clean, lots of happy people in there, well-kept beer and dog friendly too, what’s not to like…?

Nice food and very good service

Had a fabulous lunch here today after a nice hike around Dovestones reservoir. The two ladies behind the bar were just great - definitely found their calling in hospitality! The food was really good pub grub. Music was good too. Our three dogs were made really welcome too! Will definitely be back - thanks very much!

Food was great and the best line up of beers I've seen in a while. I rate the local Tiger rut. Will definitely return. Also has Sky Sports channels on TV.

Had the best meals we’ve had in long time at The Farrars. Pork Belly Bites, Steak Pudding and Pizza. Very generous portions. It was a very busy Wednesday early evening, but the food and service did not suffer. We had booked, which I highly recommend as quite a few people who walked in couldn’t be accommodated.

Just had a fabulous lunch, food was amazing and very reasonable priced. Thank you will be coming back soon

Great food, great service, great atmosphere!!!

Had lunch today with my sister. Great food, atmosphere and attentive staff. Will be calling again 😀

We arrived on a busy Sunday afternoon and had about a five minute wait for our pre-booked table which I would really recommend as they were very busy . We skipped starters as the portions looked big and it was a good plan. We had the Roast Lamb , which was perfectly cooked, and I had the unusual Cheese and Onion Pie Sunday roast. The pie was superb and so rich with perfect pastry. The roast potatoes were very good as was the rest of the vegetables and a good Yorkshire. The gravy was excellent too. Nice pint of Lees and a good Malbec. Friendly service too and we cannot wait to go back.

Only tried the pizza, but Sunday dinners looked and smelt fantastic

Dropped in one. Monday afternoon for food and beer 👍 Food , beer and service Very good will be going back

Really enjoyed the food here, worth a visit friendly staff and great portion sizes too

Friendly staff, good food and drink. Would return again

New fave place, food is always great. Cannot fault it at all. Steak pie is delicious 😋

Went last night for SIL leap year birthday. Couldn't fault it, food perfect, staff great especially Hannah who dealt with our table,chef chopped up tiny pieces of cucumber for the baby to chomp on !! Definitely recommend a visit.

Nice place to visit with a warm welcome

Great pub , good atmosphere nice beers

Had our first meal here!!!! Lovely food, friendly staff, great service and good value for money. Would definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I went to this pub for the first time last Friday. The portions are substantial without compromising on quality. I had fish and chips, the fish was gigantic and beautifully cooked... I then shared an equally sizeable sticky toffee pudding which was divine. To cap it all the service was exceptional; the female who served us was attentive and carried the biggest of smiles. Will definitely revisit in the near future.

Service and staff was absolutely amazing would recommend to anyone 👌

Not been in years and decided to try after rave reviews. Food is great but they haven’t got the balance right between being a restaurant and a drinking pub. We were having dinner while sport was being played in a way where people were watching over us. Not the vibe I want for what is marketed as a premium place to dine. Will try again but will avoid the evening.

Needs a face lift busy pub decent pizzas just not the nicest inside

Great pub. Love the quiz and the jam nights here.

Popped in and it was really busy. There was only one table without reserved signs on it, so jumped on it. Got told by staff that it wasn't available and that we had to leave it. Made us feel like idiots. Put signs on your tables! Left and went to the Clarence around the corner, was great.

Millstone on tap say no more foos was ace.

Just a shame they are kicking you out at 10.30 on a Sunday night.

Popped in when passing , helpful staff , just had a drink , definitely will return to try the food it looked very good.

Lovely little pub. We went with our dog, ordered food and the lovely chef brought out something for our dog to eat. Would 100% reccomend.

Good food but not enough staff waiting tables.

Lovely place shame I couldn't have Sunday dinner NO ROAST POTATOES and only offered extra veg whitch we didn't get 😑

Enjoyed my food. Home made pudding, chips, mushy peas and gravy. Nice inviting pub. Lovely and cosy. Dogs are welcome. Friendly atmosphere.

Had a lovely time. We were made very welcome.

Very busy place and a lot of options to choose from for food. Food was good portions and very nice, some things let it down like the chicken wings as they were very dry and the roast potatoes were rock solid, like said the pub was very busy. We will be returning 😀

Lovely afternoon lunch with my husband on a rare day off work . Will definatly go back soon

Beautiful pub and gorgeous food

Very authentic old pub with a good “publunch”!

Enjoyed the food and pleasant service 'nice people ' will go again . . .

Best cheese and onion pie I have had in a long time.

Excellent good food fab service

Delicious food, great and lovely people work here, thank you we loved it 😊❤️

Great food, reasonable price, had the Sunday lunch, sirloin beef with all the trimmings, home made Yorkshire pudding very nice,

Food was amazing, staff were polite and friendly ams the food was very very nice, the waffles were still warn and the pizza was amazing 10/10 on everything!

First time staff very nice and helpful nice little local pub in hill side food was very nice

Great pub, goid beer and prices

Was a few years ago granted but my mother's last Christmas meal out was 20 minutes after the rest of the table,cold and wet. Never going again!

Great atmosphere. Lovely lady that served us. Would definitely recommend

Really lovely staff, especially the lady that served us. Food was proper comfort food and nice enough but would have like to see some more veggie options.

I found this pub through a Google search and thought I'd give it a try, I wanted to go somewhere not on my doorstep for a change and was glad I did. It's a nice looking pub on the outside but there's a few steep steps up to the door that my Nan struggled with (not sure if there's another way in) There is a nice size car park straight across the road for drivers. On the inside you can tell it's an old pub , I prefer an old pub to a newer type, they're just cosier. It's a bit tired looking on the inside decor wise but nothing much (I do recommend new laminated menus though). If your going in to watch sport there's plenty of tvs about but not blaring so don't worry if your not, it won't spoil your visit. The food was served quickly and it was really nice , good portion sizes too. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered and we were provided with food boxes to take left overs home. Like everywhere else at the moment the prices were a little high but I'd rather pay what they need to keep the pub open rather than it have to close down , we should all keep that in mind. Nice friendly atmosphere. Staff were really nice and helpful. The best thing for me was the fact they allowed dogs. I can't leave him on his own so I very rarely get to go out anywhere, I'm sure there are many more in my situation who would love to support our pubs but can't. So thanks to the Farrars Arms I got to go out and have a lovely birthday meal with my family,Thank You. 100% recommended 👍😊

Stopped off here during a busy period for some lunch between jobs. Great atmosphere and extremal friendly staff. Explained that we only had a short break and they sorted us some lovely food in no time. Defo popping in again when I'm next in the area...

Very smooth service for a large group of diners with varying dietary requirements. Friendly staff, would happily return.

This place does amazing pizza, would definitely recommend

Great staff on the bar and table service. Food was great too. Particularly good starter choices.

Delightful country pub teeming with life on a bright sunny spring day in England. Had a lovely traditional home made pie with veg for lunch and a pint of the local beer.

Fantastic grub! Nothing pretentious, just great hearty food.

Homely atmosphere, good choice of beers and great food

The food was absolutely incredible, the place has a lovely atmosphere and the owner is incredibly friendly, welcoming and attentive!

Fantastic food, great staff. Highly recommended. Cheese n Onion pie is to die for. 😋

Staff was great really welcoming, food not so much microwave mash and stodgey cheese and onion pie everything frozen witnessed one of the chefs eating between service licking his fingers and carrying on playing up food. 2 stars because bar staff and waitresses was great

Banging pies great service lovely atmosphere

Warm welcome from the friendly lady single handedly running the bar, taking food orders, running around manically and pretty much everything else (apart from the cooking, which was handled superbly we thought by the chef in the open kitchen) Place was fairly busy and thought we'd have to wait a while for our food but surprisingly we didn't. We sat at a table that hadn't been cleaned and some side plates that were brought to our table were still dirty with old food stuck on them, maybe because there was only one chef, one server...maybe someone phoned in sick hey? Food well presented and tasty, I had the flavoursome Steak, Stilton and ale pie with superb mushy peas and my wife had the burger which she said was only disappointingly average, I tried one of the patties and she was right. We also had a lovely starter of garlic pizza bread and cheese and a couple of drinks each which came to just short of fifty quid, not bad really in this day and age. The TVs, that there were four of, were overbearing and distracting and ruined the ambience but we were in a pub after all but the attempt to make it a restaurant, gastro pub and bar seemed somewhat muddle up. Would we go again? Maybe not if they're short staffed like this.

Been there a few times and never disappoints. Good food at reasonable prices, good service, nice atmosphere. Even though football was on TV it wasn't loud and in your face like in some places. Definitely recommend.

Had a nice meal here Belly pork bites taste lovely Rag pudding could have been warmer, had to wait for staff to bring eating irons ,after first one's used eating starters, Very good selection of beers . Not bothered by staff keep asking if everything is OK . Only fault was young kids wandering inside pud

Great lively atmosphere, a real family, all welcome pub. The team are really great as is the service. You've got to have the cheese pie!!!

A comfy and welcoming local pub. A decent selection of beers and the food is really good.

Had a disappointing visit today. Waiter was rude couldn’t serve a tennis ball. Even though it was a Tuesday wasn’t informed that the 2 for 12 deal wasn’t available .Bill was sent wrong 4 times with items added that we didn’t order. Will not be returning.

...Have been here a few times as a regular pub ..but have noticed and admired the food so we thought we'd try it..Both thought excellent!...I had bbq pork belly chunks which were melt in the mouth and huge plus chilli which was really good...tho too many nachos for me...my partner had the festive pigs in blankets and the roasted cod loin which he really enjoyed. ..All good portions and excellent value. .Oh..and the biggest 'side salad ' I've ever seen. ..put a can of tuna or some cheese with it it would be a meal!...Lovely attentive staff too..

Fantastic food and reasonably priced

If you are looking for good food this place doesn't disappoint. The pies are homemade, and as good as it gets. The menu is very good, with a bit of everything. Reasonably priced home cooked food by very good chefs.
