The Roebuck in Rochdale

We went to this pub on Saturday 5th October we were ordered to leave as my sons girlfriend was not allowed in beyond 7pm very strange as we didnt get there till 7.15 the bullying and intimidating security staff were appalling the manager a coward who waited till the security staff had moved before he apologised for their heavy handed behaviour, we had not finished our meal but they allowed us to spend £82 on food and £58 on drink which included a full bottle of white wine minus 1 glass.the guards were happy to see a young 21yr old lady removed outside in the dark.the food apart from the cheese pie was mediocre to say the least and quite expensive. I have rang and emailed Joseph holt as yet to no response ,no surprise there then .

Had a terrible experience tonight.5/10/2024. I was out for a meal with my boyfriend and his parents. We arrived at the pub at 7:20pm and was greeted warmly by the guards. We sat down ordered food and drink not a problem. Then at 8:40pm i was approached by a security guard who rudely asked my age, when i told him 21 he told me i needed to leave. We were all mortified at the request. Apparently there are no under 23’s allowed in the permises after 7pm. There is nothing up on the website or in the pub stating this.We then asked if we could stay to finish our drinks but we were just told again “ she needs to leave”. Very abruptly.At this point we had just spent over £140 on food and drink and they decided to have a problem. After it calmed down the guards came back circling our table, i felt very intimidated by this.How they can expect a young female to go out into the night by herself on a Saturday night is beyond me. Never again save your time and money.

Ridiculous policy, went at 5.45pm with my 21 year old twins and was told by the doormen they had to be 23, told them they weren’t drinking and we just wanted a meal but they weren’t allowed in because they were 21,needless to say I won’t be returning there, we spent our money elsewhere

Went for a drink with my 20 year old lad who is an accountant in Manchester and was not allowed in due to over 23 policy !. Really !, not the bouncers fault but have some common sense you thick divs !. I ended up giving my lad 50 quid to spend elsewhere and I walked down to the fold .

Love the outdoor areas and that it's dog friendly. The food was lovely and the service was great 👏👏. Will definitely be returning 😎X

Pint of Murphy’s was nice, very cheap prices. Quiet background music, not a very loud pub.

My fave pub of all time. Thanks Christine. Amazing landlady

Not changed in the year or so since I've been in

Great place with friendly bar staff

Great little pub,friendly people and a good music pub

Good atmosphere and very reasonably priced. Not the nicest of pubs, but retains the character of a British pub. Nothing fancy but welcoming.

Good atmosphere and great landlady Dot.

Not particularly pleasant boozer but busy due to very low priced beer (which to be fair is well kept). Always have to fight past the smokers who gather on the front step just to get in.

nice place to spend afternoon in if you fancy adrink

Locals meeting place, cheap and cheerful

Very underrated pub good tvs for sports dosent get to busy and some drinks are cheaper than the local spoons! Only dont get a 5 stars cos theres a bad smell near the toilets 😷

Excellent friendly pub..lovely staff ☺

Great little boozer. Friendly staff.... the price of the beer is cheap compared to others in the area. If you like great atmosphere with a landlady that is down to earth then give this place a try. Located in the centre with outdoor seating it's a great place to relax and have some fun times. There is no food available here but it's location is spot on for eating out within a 1 min walk.

Nice friendly place - good priced drinks

Top ale house lovely landlady and bar tenders

A long used Watering hole... I preferred it back when it was a dive... 👌

A pub where you would go if you enjoy a rowdy pint and a fight.

I had few fun nights there. It can be bit rough sometimes. Avarage beer and decor.

Beers kept well enough and it's as cheep as the local wetherspoons. Plus the music, and the sports on TV it's a pretty good pub overall.
