The Royal George in Oldham

We really enjoyed the food a lovely place

Beer isn't brilliant. Decent inside. OK beer garden. Staff mostly on it.

Went this evening, with the family to say I was disappointed, was an understatement. I have to say the food on the carvery was poor. The potato was claggy, the meat was tough, and the vegetables and the roast potatoes were lukewarm. I could not eat the food and left three quarters of a plate, as did my grandson and his friend. The staff are lovely and the manager was very apologetic when I mentioned how Poor the food was. Sadly, this will be my first and last time eating at the Royal George. If anyone wants a good sunday carvery, I would recommend The toby carvery In Chadderton. I hope This review will improve their food and the temperature it's served at.

Really quick service food was 100% we will defo be back again.

Very nice pub and the food was really nice, definitely worth giving this place a visit. I'll definitely be back

Fair price for drinks though food could be better.

Hannah, was an absolute star, service with a smile really lovely girl a real asset to the team.

Good choice menu and nice sized portions. Very much a 'home cooked' theme to the pub with lots of locals relaxing on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Live sports and a great place to unwind. Usually busy, so get there early or Pre-book!!

Paid £6 for white bait there were six on the plate A?£1 each for very small white bait The burgers and cheese & onion pie were ok but 6£a pint is a bit steep

Invited to meet up with a good friend, my wife and I travelled to this lovely inn. Ok it was the night of the Spain/England game, but a booked table ensured our seat in the main bar. Great service at the bar and the table. Great food too. Plenty of parking. Worth a visit if you are in the vicinity.

Lovely pub lunch. Dog friendly. Cosy and lovely area for walks etc.

A lovely pub with a fantastic menu and an incredible Sunday carvery well priced. Lots of parking. About 30 mins outside Holmfirth but we'll worth the visit.

Best pub around. Food is spot on. Good quality and amount. Friendly staff.

We came across the Royal George by chance and will definitely be going back again. The food was delicious and the service and presentation was amazing. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere very relax. Looking forward to our return.

This is my second visit in two weeks for the carvery and if I’m back in the area again, I’d go back. The staff are very friendly and it’s very clean. My only negative is the broccoli is a bit over done for me but I like my veg crunchy. Everything else, especially the meat, is yummy.

We came out for a family dinner and was greeted by the staff who were friendly smiling and happy to help, they seated us in the restaurant which was clean and had lovely décor. We were asked for our drinks order by a gent named Adam and then ordered food. The service was great as it was a large family they read our order back so it was all correct. We all got to the wordsearch on the kids menu with the crayons provided while we waited for food which wasn't very long. Wow what a treat, the sea bass was delicious. fresh and tasty, the wife loved the steak and ale pie as did others. Kids meals are a good size and the kids enjoyed them with clean plates plus free ice-cream that's a win win. We will definitely be returning as we've heared the carvey is a win win too. Great value for money and a nice relaxing evening with the family with no washing up see you again soon

Had a lovely evening in the Royal George. Very clean pub with good food and friendly staff.

The place has had a refurbishment,,it's absolutely stunning now,The maitre d,took us to our table and a few minutes later we ordered our drinks which came and we ordered our food,only the fish and chips,my partner having the northern upgrade,lol bread and butter and curry sauce,not my cup of tea,but hey ho 40 mins later it came,2 completely different fish one battered so much it covered the plate with 7 chips,the other a third of the size with the chips,both with peas then we waited for someone to pass for our tartare sauce,and northern upgrade,a good 5 mins later,by the time we started to eat,the peas were cold and the skinny fish was cold the curry sauce cold too,when we told the young lady she said she would have a word with the kitchen came back with they were sorry,not happy at all,by now the maitre,d came and ask did we want a fresh meal,but by now was a little annoyed and said we weren't paying, that we would have the bill for the drink,good on the guy he said the drinks were free and once again apologies all round,the kitchen staff need to up there game because the place was stunning,we will call in again sometime soon,because we love the long walk along the canal and a meal at the end of it,MX

Always a good Sunday carvery. BUT NOT ANYMORE. SINCE THE REFURBISHMENT, WE HAVE BEEN 3 TIME'S. EACH TIME FOOD WAS COLD/WARM ,THE ONLY THING HOT WAS THE GRAVY.SO £40 FOR COLD DINNER AND DRINKS IS OUT OF ORDER. AND THIS IS THE LAST TIME. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS. I will go elsewhere ⭐

Lovely food but the service was shocking. Table booked at 5pm but didn't leave until gone 8pm it took half hour to take our order, long gaps between courses, we could see the food on the pass waiting to come out. 4 tables ordered, ate and left whilst we were waiting. Little or no acknowledgement from staff and manager seemed unable to deal with feedback. Offered 10% discount on the bill which we could have had anyway with our Blue light card!

A hot Sunday afternoon with family. Great food and very friendly service . We loved it.

Booked a Xmas lunch, on arrival advised I couldn’t eat from festive menu as they had not booked me correctly, no apology. Had a very average meal, with very odd hard pieces of dried cinnamon in my apple crumble, apparently it is hard to remove them 😂 Other dessert we ordered had Fruit and Custard missing, honestly it was a shambles. There is much better in local area. The staff are not treated well and the place is kept together by cheap young labour they can pay under minimum wage.

We didn't eat but coffee was nice we will be back for meals. Young man from Sheffield Is really nice and helpfull and manager good as well regs bb Susan and pam

Lovely place relaxing atmosphere there carvery is good with unlimited Yorkshire pudding with gravy would recommend

Good food, friendly staff . dog friendly, excellent.

Spot on steak and proper Gin Tree, give it a go!

Lovely atmosphere, food was very good and as expected. But upstairs the comedy night after was exceptional ❤️💕

Bar staff super lovely, kitchen staff on fire sticky carpet waited 34 mins for food but was worth the wait, the chicken flatbread was absolutely outstanding, hannah brought our food out and also served us on bar too!!!! She really is the definition of a excellent bar/floor staff!!!

Came in after a walk the other day, was served by a young brunette on bar where we ordered food and drinks. Was polite and made good conversation about our day. Lovely place to unwind x

Stopped by as was passing, really good find will call again when in the area

Like to thank the Royal George for the beautiful buffet laid on for the wake held for the passing of our mum. Staff very polite and friendly. Highly recommended.

Freezer chips & onion rings. Not worth the money. Poor service. Never again.

When the restaurant is busy, staff can't hear you in the bar.... Rung the bell 3 times even then ended up chasing staff for service

Everything was perfect staff meal wine & beautiful surroundings inside and out. Highly recommend the Sea Bass loved it! 👍💯♥️😊

We went for carvery on Mother’s Day. The staff were great. They interacted with the kids and nothing was too much trouble. I asked if the veg had been cooked in butter as my baby has a milk allergy and the chef cooked her some fresh veg. The food was delicious too! Only slight issue was that the sauces were further away from the carvery area. We didn’t see them until the way out.

We went in for food and a few beers after a long hike in the Peak District. All tired, we walked in looking forward to a beer and nice food. All was good until we met the manager, violent control freak. Poured me a shocking Guiness and was insulted when I asked for a new one. Kicked us all out and started to use physical force to get us out. Never attend this pub, terrible service.

Top food and top beer. Excellent staff all round.

Rang for a table and was able to come within the hour, place was very busy, served promptly no waiting, food was enjoyed by all, asked for vegan ice cream for my daughter that’s allergic to milk and they were really helpful and attentive all staff friendly and would highly recommend thankyou

Great pub and absolutely wonderful friendly and inclusive welcome from Adam. Thank you Adam.

Nice Sunday dinner . Warm welcome from the landlord I think place was buzzing with families. Beer, cider spot on paid £12 each for two meats carvery was very tasty just a few veg a bit lukewarm but I am guessing that’s all about timing . Tasty meats with friendly serving staff . Impressed May be back . Nice pub 👍🏽

Just wanted to shout out Dean for his exceptional customer service. Called in for drinks on a typically busy Sunday dinner slot. No intentions of eating, roast in the oven at home. Even though every table was booked for diners, Dean managed to shuffle things around and accommodated 6 adults and 2 dogs just for drinks. The thing is, we get it! For our local pubs to survive, they have to serve food, and a table allocated to none diners is lost profit. We might have left, unbegrudgingly, but Dean made it work. Exactly the service you want from your local boozer. Guess what, we’ll eat next time! Many thanks for looking after us. Btw, didn’t catch any names, but the bar staff are also consistently amazing

Love this place, food and service excellent.

Been for lunch for the first time today. Staff were so welcoming and friendly the food was delicious. I would happily recommend this place to all my friends and family

Came here for a pint and desert. Great atmosphere. Nice pub. The biscoff cheesecake was delicious. The presentation was on point. Staff were really friendly.

Really lovely pub, food was superb and all the staff were fantastic

Very nice pub. Got young people running and serving. Very friendly people need to be more professional in working within the food and working with people. Not sure what they're doing. That's down to the manager. Had a Christmas dinner with no sprouts. I did tell them they did bring some. Food was nice. Needs to be more professional within the eating section.

Booked for Sunday but was unaware that only food available was Sunday roast & lamb shank! OK for me but not others. Suggested they make clear on website that other menu only available Mon - Sat, their reply was ' we can't change website'.

Appalling salad. What chef sends that out? What manager allows that to be sent out? Probably ones who think people only eat salads because they don't like food! Or put up with 'boring' because they're on a diet! Neither apply and we won't be going back, after taking a chance in the hope that it would have improved since we last gave up on this place.

poor management recently refurbished but not good . kicked out of upstairs room just after serving us drinks. used to be really good now very poor

Had a lovely family meal for my 60th birthday was great service and very friendly staff

Staff and service was impeccable 👌

One star is excessive, they can’t cope. Made an online booking at least an hour ahead. When we arrived the waitress wasn’t sure that they could do food for us as they had a large table to cook for. After asking for clarification we were told that there would be a 20 minute wait until a food order could be placed so we asked for a coffee while we waited. Another group of about 6 people arrived and were told the same. After waiting for 15 minutes for the coffee we asked again and were told there would be at least an hour’s wait. The manager appeared and gave a very confusing explanation so we left after suggesting that the table booking system should be switched off if they have no capacity. What a waste spending all that money on a refurb. We went to a rival restaurant in Greenfield and had a great meal. The other party that had been at the Royal George arrived at the same restaurant a few minutes later. Between us we must have spent more than £200 which had been destined for the Royal George. I’m afraid this pub has lost our business for good. There are much better managed pub/restaurants in Greenfield.

Very clean and very warm. Attentive polite staff.

Excellent pub with good range of beers and very friendly team.

Food was extremely over seasoned with the soup being so peppery it was inedible. We advised the bar staff to be told that the chef had an idea she'd over seasoned the dish and it was being removed from the menu. However we were not refunded or offered compensation

Very welcoming and cosy country pub with real detail to the furnishing and spotless. Try the Cask Ales, they’re amazing. Well managed with good staff, polite and well mannered. 💯% recommend.

lovely pub either log fire friendly and lively 😀

It was a nice experience when we went. we took 5 of us 3 adults and 2 kids. The food was amazing, and we'll present . They was only out small party in when we where there so the service should have been 5 star and it was 5 star wen we went . We will go back again when we are next looking for a nice night out either with the kids or just adults

Real ale good food wine entertainment all sorts for all sorts didn't have food, looks a great menu though

Nice friendly carvery. Staff very helpful over my garlic allergy. Very dog friendly. Good food nicely cooked

Great place for a family get together, made welcome and the staff were great, booked on line and had good communication. Enough normal car parking but limited disabled parking, 2 spaces with all-round access and 1 with limited access. Food was good and a good selection of drinks. The only complaint we could have was that it was very warm inside without the ability to open a window to cool down.

I love this pub. Great beer, wonderful atmosphere. I try to go here every time I visit Wantage to see my son Joe.

Lovely refurbished place great food and service will go again soon 😀

I am very dissapointed that the recent refurb has got rid of the kids play area- this was the only pub with this facility in this area. For someone with a young family, this has changed the pub from a destination of choice into somewhere that isn't really suitable.

We visit here quite often and this was our first visit since reopening, We booked our table for 2pm, we arrived a bit early but noticed that our table was taken and they had only just gone for their food so the table would not be available for our time slot, we were then shown to a table for 6 when there was only 2 of us,when at the bar ordering drinks and food we where asked which carvery we would like,small, med or large, the med included 2 meats as before but there seemed quite an increase in the price. Food wise, meal was nice, but the roast potatoes had not seen the oven, basically they were boiled potatoes, the veg, inc cauliflower cheese was very firm, not as before. The refurbish seems nice but a little disappointed overall.

Visited the Royal George after the lovely makeover and sat in the re-furbished restaurant area. I was one of a party of eighteen and everyone in the party that enjoyed their various meals and said that they will return. The staff were lovely. Highly recommended.

Nice place, great surroundings with loads of good, mixed walks.

A friendly welcome, cracking pint, great service, gorgeous chips and an awesome pie! Saturday lunchtime heaven.

Really nice place to visit. Lovely food and great choice of beers and wines. Really recommend a visit.

Visit 3 or 4 times a year food and service always good

Highly recommended, plush decor, comfortable seating, very professional and welcoming host, fabulous range.... I'll visit again

Food was lovely staff very pleasant and well mannered. Would recommend and will go again

Standard pub grub cooked really well. Friendly staff who are genuinely helpful. Shame to learn the kids play area is closing down, it's a big factor in why we frequent. Don't think we will be back very often after the refurb.

We really enjoyed it today ,land lord couldn't do enough very welcoming looked after the dog too carvery was really nice ,wich I believe is wife the chef made ,we will definitely be calling again soon thanks 😊

Had a lovely meal the staff are friendly and very welcoming.

My husband and I and our old girl Lulu love coming here when we are camping down the road, Lulu however has requested that the treats you supply are great, however she is an old lady of 13, as all old ladies, they have their preferences, Lulu has said smaller and softer treats would be nice to 😁

Very well portioned plates. Meat is not scarce. Low review because meats were on the dry. Maybe a bit of basting every 15mins when cooking could solve the issue. Try it and then respond. Don't respond without trying first. Service was excellent. I didn't like eating next to a dog though.

Popped in for a drink whilst on a walk. Fast service. Friendly staff. Water & treats for our dog.

Just passing and called in for a lovely lunch and a great beer

Stopped in on one of our weekly motorbike rides. Staff were very friendly and helpful, food was very nice and priced reasonably for the area. Can't comment on the atmosphere as we sat outside but seemed a very friendly pub.

Awesome Carvery. Huge fluffy Yorkshire Pudds, the meats were cooked nicely and the veg was all good. The Pub itself is nice and in a great location at the foot of the moors.

My partner and I popped in after a walk around Dovestone Reservoir and heard good things about the place. We both decided on JW beer battered fish and chips. The batter was light and crispy and cooked to perfection.

Friendly staff very accommodating, nice venue

Good food reasonable price. Cannot figure out why if you order a steak it come in a bowl

Really nice carvery nice and fresh and hot

Food was of poor quality,the Beef consisted of more fat than meat,very rude manager. Will not be returning

Fabulous carvery, too much food lol, Couldn't fault it, the mpa was beautifully creamy too

Great place for a family get to gather can't Fault the food and service staff frist class

arrived 2:30pm on thursday. the place were pretty empty. people chosen to sit outside in a sunny day. six of us sat inside. the mixed grill was ok and the steak was tough. add £1.95 to the sandwiches, you can get bowl of soup. the spicy vegetable soup and sandwiches ordered were tasty. the tandoori half chicken served with sizzling hot plate and rice, it can be better if more spicier. the sea baa salad was good. the whitebaits was good.

Only a couple of people in but it was 6pm on a Monday so not much atmosphere.

I go in here sometimes for a meal as its local and can i just say its an amazing place the food is amazing and the girl on the bar who served me i think she is called Hannah was very friendly and had a good aura to her would recommend Thank you

We have been here plenty of times in the past and always had lovely experiences. However after booking for a father’s day meal 1 week in advance and possibly having one of the worst meals and experiences, I can honestly say we wouldn’t return back to The Royal George. We had a table booked for 5:30pm, on arrival our table wasn’t ready and was still full of dirty plates and cutlery. We then queued up to pay for a carvery to be told there was no mash - but reassured everything else was there. We queued up for a carvery and could clearly see everything was limited and what was left was what I could only describe as the scraps. The beef was full of fat and not edible. The manager was rude and very unprofessional. It was obvious staff were talking unprofessionally about customers including us. It was overall a bad experience. We left feeling completely and utterly unsatisfied and robbed that we had paid so much money for such bad quality food and poor customer service.

Booked for a carvery well in advance - got shown to our “reserved” table for it to still have left overs on it from the previous guests. The carvery was running out of everything - no mash, scraps left for meat (fattest meat ever), Yorkshire puddings & stuffing was running low and when it came out people had to come back up to the carvery to get it as it wasn’t there for them at first so as soon as it was put out, it was empty again. Felt like I had to save some food for other guests, wasn’t a nice feeling. The customer service was probably the worst I’ve experienced and if I hadn’t already paid for the meal before eating I would have happily left. The manger was completely unprofessional and was unbelievably rude. The whole experience was horrible from stepping foot in the place and this is now a place I definitely wouldn’t return too nor recommend. Sort your customer service skills out if you work with the public.

Great staff team, very friendly and food about right for the money. Very good play area for kids.

Absolutely love this place. Always a warm welcome and friendly staff. The fish and chips is "out of this world" we add a side of peppercorn sauce to give it a kick! The carvery on a Sunday is also fantastic...fresh hot and super yummy! It's out "go to place" for excellent pub grub and a great atmosphere. Keep up the great work John and all the team! P.s Isaac is a lovely waiter, always friendly and so helpful! See you soon guys! 5 out of 5!!!

Always a nice place to visit, but unfortunately they only serve carvery on a Sunday.

Lovely venue with an amazing atmosphere. Lots of seating inside and out, so suitable for all weather conditions. Service was awesome, with super friendly staff, and the food (both in presentation and taste) was perfect.

Had a lovely pub lunch today after passing your pub whilst viewing the area as my daughter n her partner are moving soon. Lovely food and friendly staff. Will definitely be coming back again.

Absolute lovely place Food delicious Staff friendly and helpful Highly recomend

Stopped off for a half pint while out enjoying the weather on the bike...place was slightly busy outside and quiet inside..good range of beers wine etc Lots of parking spaces too ...
