The Peels Arms in Oldham

Love love the food, great and so fresh. But you do need to love football ⚽ as it is on all Sundays

This is my families local I now live down south but we went to the peels for a family Sunday lunch and wow did they deliver from the welcome we received walking in the door the service and the food was outstanding! The staff couldn’t do enough for us and were so friendly and we were a loud table of 11 ! But the family time they gave us was priceless! Thank you all and keep up the great work we will definitely be back .

3rd consecutive Saturday night with fantastic live entertainment. Different genre every week. If you like live music check the Facebook page and see what's on.

Great place . Food it's so so nice, been twice now and loved every minute. Entertainment was excellent later on . Definitely worth a vist as there are not many places left in Oldham worth going to .. We are back again this coming weekend... can't wait

Most beautiful Sunday lunch, caring service, cannot wait to go back . The peels arms is just a wonderful place to go for Sunday lunch on a great budget. How many places offer you 3 different roasts if you cannot make your mind up. Lovely care and service by ruby and team. Want to try this Saddleworth lamb next time, as we have link sheep at the farm. Thanks so much for your care for my walking ( lack of it) Ability. So looking forward to our next meeting and bringing my cancer aid for everyone people to you

We came in on today ( 9/2/25) and had the Sunday roast 1 chicken and a mixed meat, they were both absolutely delicious !! The plates looked amazing my wife and I loved the presentation and the portion sizes were spot on plenty of veg and gravy ( the gravy came in individual gravy boats which was perfect & the staff were very attentive and were happy to refill my gravy boat), hats off to the chef today it was fantastic and the chocolate brownies were the perfect size aswell, all the bar staff we’re excellent, friendly and attentive !! We will definitely be returning!, congratulations to the new owners they have definitely put the hard work in to make this place spot on with the food and atmosphere ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good hot food...staff really efficient and friendly...made us feel at home. Comfortable and warm x

Chilled, relaxing place. Great food, good selection of drinks. Happy customer :)

Re-opened and full of life. Lots of live entertainment. Good foidcand choices of beers.

The peels is back!!! All freshly renovated with fancy decor, a great selection of beers on tap and an enticing new menu. The staff are friendly, welcoming and very accommodating. The building is clean, warm and light. The food is absolutely fantastic, doesn't hit you in the pocket too hard and you can tell it's been made with love. I'm so glad this great local pub is back to it's former glory 😃 A special mention to the lovely young lady who looked after us today. Thank you!

The food is absolutely beautiful!! Great prices!! New landlord and landlady are lovely and very welcoming! Glad our local food and watering hole is back open!

Great family pub, landlord, and landlady Pauline & Les great owners, we've been going in for years and will be sad to see them go in 2024 absolutely recommend you visit before they leave. We will miss you, Les & Pauline Dec 2023

Went for a valentines tapas, food was lovely, well worth the price

Sadly a very gloomy and quite depressing pub. Half the bulbs are out and the others very dim, and it's really not warm enough inside when you are sitting. If the landlord is worried about lighting costs why not change to LED which are much brighter at a fraction of the cost? It would be a much more appealing place with proper lighting. Lovely food and excellent prices but as it is at present I wouldn't choose to become a regular visitor. I'd have rated it 2.5 stars if I could but settled on 3 stars because I didn't want to go as low as 2, particularly as the staff and food are great.

The Coors beer is served as it should be - nice n Cold

2 years on still waiting for refund for missing food and worst food I've ever had the misfortune to eat. 1 star because I can't go any less.

Great pub with a friendly atmosphere

The greeting from the landlord was friendly as always. Served by the landlady never plesent as always, asked for 2 glasses of white wine with ice..... £12.95 never ever been ripped off as much ... dont mind paying those prices if the landlady was friendly or in London. Will never go to the Peels Arms in Springhead ever again. Don't go guys unless you want to be ripped off.

Great food...great staff...what more can you say..

Ashamed to say not been for a few years, made to feel very welcome and served great food at a good price, such a friendly atmosphere here so highly recommended.

Great hosts in Pauline and Les, always a warm welcome and great selection of beers to choose from. Good friendly crowd to mix with. Quiz nights music nights and quiet drinking nights all available. In a few words something for everybody. Go on in there and enjoy a great night out

Nice food allway pleasure to visit for good piping hot food

Lovely time, with a great atmosphere.

Took over an hour for the food and we was sat right on the bar with a load of loud people could not hear each other why put tables for food so close to the bar

Family run pub with amazing food and a fantastic selection of drinks. If you're looking for a good night out with welcoming staff and locals or a really nice meal, I honestly can't recommend this place enough. The food is all cooked in house and sourced locally, you can really tell a lot of passion goes into the kitchen here.

It was wonderful however it would have been a 5 star if I could understand what the landlord said .

Amazing Sunday dinner me and my family had here today , we can't wait to come back again , 5*

Excellent service and very nice staff

Great food, fantastic value, friendly bar staff and the Doombar is always good

Nice and friendly, could have done with help on the bar. Busy session and obviously a new bar person on.

Lovely local pub. Good food and great prices

Always lovely welcome and limited menu but always excellent food and service 😃

Friendly atmosphere and good food

Friendly busy local. Often has live music at the weekend.

This pub comes highly recommended to me, so I will become a regular when I move near there in October

Absolutely mint, love the place.

Best food in town great atmosphere smashing ale 100 p cent MrT

Amazing food what a great place to meet and eat, really friendly staff we will be back again and again

Great beer & food & incredibly reasonably priced. Thoroughly recommended

Small selection but that just makes it easier to choose! What they do is great though and very reasonable on price. Staff are very friendly and accommodating, would definitely recommend

Good pub grub at very reasonable prices.

Lovely place proper pub grub top staff

Lovely home cooked food and great menu!! Ate here with my whole extended family and enjoyed great service, my favourite was the traditional Rag pudding, I'll definitely come back for another!!

Brilliant quiz Thursday night . brilliant hosts landlord and landlady ..nice atmosphere .

always have great time at peels x

Food absolutely excellent as always, staff brilliant as always...mega!

Brilliant landlord and landlady..Highly recommend the Peels Arms, lovely pub, great entertainment and delicious home cooked food!!

We’ve been coming for years Pauline & Les make you very welcome. Good home cooked food at fab prices. Families always welcome. Try the Mince & Onion pie one of our favourites.

We went tonight for the steak night and it was marvellous. The place is very clean, the staff are exceptionally friendly and the food was magnificent. You will not go far wrong, this place is fab, I can’t rave enough about it. Great owners, great venue

Great good comfortable love going there just to chill

Good grub and friendly staff. Price is very reasonable. Worth another visit.

Absolutely Gorgeous food, excellent atmosphere. Family friendly pub/restaurant. Great value for money, can not stress that enough!! Brilliant prices and lovely menu, tried most dishes but the braised steak and onions is my favourite, or maybe the steak, or maybe the cheese and onion pie, or the specials kebeb! Cant quite decide it is all fantastic! Love it here, definitely give the peels a full marks on everything. Land lord amd land lady are so lovely too! The staff are all lovely!

My Auntie and Uncles place and honestly even if they weren't family I'd be saying this... It's a great friendly old timey pub with great home made food and a unreal choice of alcohol 😉🤣

Lovely pub. Pleasant staff and good beer and food.

Great pub great prices very friendly staff.

Lovely pub sadly no meals serve after 5pm was told that we could of had a meal some weeks back. Will try again.

Can vouch for the Sharps Atlantic pale ale, very well kept..

Great food and lovely friendly staff

Excellent food, quality service and a large car park make this one of our favorite pubs to visit when we are in the UK. We have dined there with family as well a just the two of us and have never been disappointed with the food. Good food, good value and good service.

Good food good ale and a good landlord

On entering this public house we felt uncomfortable as most of the customers just turned & stared at us

Absolutely love this place the food is fantastic and it's very family orientated and great value for money.

Excellent value for money, food good

Cracking pub but really needs to sort out the general hygiene and cleanliness. Great atmosphere but toilets need attention, dire and extremely poor, fungus and cleanliness extremely poor and need attention. Good pub but let down by hygiene and cleanliness of wc's. Come on, get it sorted.

Les and Pauline keep a great place friendly atmosphere with great local bands on a Saturday night. The food is great and a great price too boot.

Always a pleasure visiting here. Good pub grub and the steak and curry nights are fantastic value for money.

Great pub & very local, what more could a bloke want?

Excellent home cooked food and very very good value for money ! Most meals are around £6 can take the whole family without breaking the bank !!

The food is excellent value for money. The portions are a good size. All the food is home cooked and very tasty. The staff are nice. The pub is clean

Excellent place to go for a proper homecooked meal. Prices are so cheap compared to everything else in the area. Landlord Les does a gravy which takes days to make and pair it with braised steak and you have a winner, all for around a fiver. Beer is reasonable for the area. Kids playground out back which is great in summer. Our only local now 👍

Birthday meal for me, paid for by my wife. Brilliantly simple food, very tasty and excellent portions. I had the rather large rag pudding with skinny fries and mushy peas, reminiscent of the ones my gran used to make, delicious. My wife had Cheese and onion pie with skinny fries and veg, beautiful. The pavlova she had for dessert was superb. If you like good, honest, tasty food at a reasonable price, The Peels Arms is for you. Good choice of drinks and good service.

OK beers best thing is the live music on a Saturday night

Lovely pub, great management and nice locals. Nice location too.

"The Peels" is one of a dying breed, it's a proper traditional local pub. It serves a good range of beers and the usual selection of sprits, wines, and other drinks. The menu probably hasn't changed in years, and that's because if you go to eat there, you're going because you know what you're going to get, and you like it ! There's no pretentious gimmicks here, no stones to cook steak on , no raspberry coulis , and there's certainly nothing "sautéed in a reduction of lychee mist with a nut glaze" .... it's a pub .. it does what a pub does .. sometimes it's busy and noisy, and sometimes it's quiet and peaceful, but all the time .. the people are happy ! The food is probably as close to 'home cooked' as you'll get, the 3 staple pies are there , Mince, Cheese and Onion, and Steak and Kidney. There's always a Roast on, the Rag Puddings are 'generous' to say the very least ! Fish, Scampi , Steak, Gammon all the usual suspects are here. There's a specials board, and my only word of warning ... if you feel like taking on a home made chicken tikka and donner kebab ... don't eat before hand .. !!! It's the place you go when you want to feel at home, when you want to feel like you're amongst friends. Sometimes you'll wait a while for your food, but so what ! ... that's how it is sometimes .. and nobody minds ! It's the Peels !! The staff are friendly and attentive, and for those that like, there's Quiz Nights, Curry Nights, and live acts every Saturday. If there's sport to be watched, it'll be on ! All in all it's a perfect pub. Just as they should be... and long may it stay that way !

Just been in had the soup spinach pea and broc soup salmon main meal cooked to perfection absolutely brilliant and price great

Best pub in oldham food fab beer ace, company great

Grate local pub with well priced food and nice friendly people.

Booked a table for Saturday lunch for 1pm. The pub was advertised to be open by 12 Noon. Arrived at 12.50 and the pub was still shut. When we finally managed to gain access staff there was staff still vacuuming. As the pub had opened late all the locals had converged at once. I appreciate that it was busy and people needed to be attended to but there was no acknowledgment or apology from the bar staff or anything to make you feel like a valued customer. Despite the fact we had booked and were expecting food, we were totally ignored by the bar staff and ended up walking out. Terrible customer service would not recommend.

Great old style pub... Very Good live music
