The Sandbrook in Rochdale

Well this place is quite cheap so did not expect the world but quite alarmed to NOT be asked if I had any allergies and when I was at the carvery the chef who was quite morbid did not give any indication as to what was on offer. I must admit I have never been to a carvery where the meat is weighed out on scales and the meat carved into so small pieces to make up the correct weight !! Like I say it is cheap but not very cheerful the Toby Carvery is far superior and you get a smile now and then 😃

Skylar was professional, polite and respectful towards us and all of our party, thank you so much for our hospitality and I will hope to see you again the next time I visit ❤️

Lovely food and lovely atmosphere, friendly staff :-)

Went shopping on Sunday thought I’d treat the wife to a carvery so glad we did the selection was amazing the beef just melted in my mouth thank you guys

We had a lovely member of staff whom helped us with all our needs, with having autistic kids it's always difficult getting out. Beccy helped making sure we was comfortably and all our needs were met as a family of 5. Thank you Beccy we will come again.

Amazing service, was served by Tom for a carvery who was a great laugh and really polite, will definitely be returning again, 5 stars

Amazing food. Awesome staff, definitely visit again.

Our mains were nice but took a while to arrive, we ordered desserts and after 40mins we asked how long they were going to be and were told not long and 25mins later we asked for a refund on them and didn't even get a sorry for waiting 1hr and 5mins and still no sign of them... desserts take 5mins to make.

Lovely food, fast service! Would definitely come again!

We visit every week for dinner always great staff and great food. Love the fish and my husband enjoys the carvery. Keep it going x

Food was amazing, lovely customer service from all bar staff but brilliant service from Leo gave us amazing advice on all questions we had he couldn’t have done more for us!

Staff are outstandingly nice, helpful and polite. Food was fabulous the burger I had was out of this world. The atmosphere is very inviting and brings the feeling of home right to the table.

Really friendly and kind staff, who catered to my son’s milk allergy really well. Lovely food as well, Thank you!

Every time I have been the food has been great

Brilliant food well cooked thank kitchen staff and all warmed and served on time staff are all friendly and have amazing energy place very clean and safe and just an amazing warm welcome when in there ❤️

Food is affordable and good quality, friendly staff and a good pint, would recommend

Great food, affordable prices and relaxed atmosphere, well worth a visit!

Excellent service and food from the staff ,Lorraine very helpful on bar .

Amazing food. This is now my 10th or so visit here and it does not disappoint at any time

We were in tonight and ordered our usual meal I would like to highlight 3 staff members who gave an excellent customer service by Lorraine, Lexi and CJ the food was spot on and hot and we will most deffinately be coming back

Go to Sandbrook quite often, usually get a carvery but ordered off menu, the food was nice but not even a handful of chips with the meals. Seems the carvery is the way to go if your hungry. The service was great as always and our server Skylar made sure we had everything we needed. We were however sat at the long table that was at the bottom of the walkway where the carvery is, and I would never sit there again. It's so awkward literally everyone has to walk past that table to get anywhere so everyone looks at you, plus the toilets were not working so everyone was using the toilets behind the carvery so kept moving the rope devide, so it just wasn't peaceful or relaxing. Would definitely ask NOT to be seated at that table next time were in.

Very friendly service really food! Lovely people x

Went for carvery with my family, The food was nice and friendly staff , nice atmosphere , reasonably priced too, nice if your local

Great place and good food well worth a. Visit

Been twice this week and both times have been great. Lovely food off of Tom and brilliant service off of the bar staff as always. Sunday was busy and both front of house and back were rushed off of their feet but have done amazing, brilliant service off of Loraine as always

Lovely service, honest about burnt starter didn’t wait long for replacement. Thank you to Cjay and skylar for accommodating to us. Garlic sauce texture wasn’t the nicest ruined the dough ball dish.

Had a great time here, Tom provided some amazing food! Will definitely return

Always friendly welcome,good food

First time to the Sandbrook, great food, good service, well looked after by Skylar & Lexi. Had a request for a table with room as my son has had a serious accident and has a frame around his leg. Staff sorted a table just for ourselves.

We had a family meal with 14 people and the service was brilliant they were busy but Skylar Lexi and Mack were quick and polite. We had a really nice cheap and cheerful meal and the food was fantastic. X

Suylar, lexi and Mark were great. Enjoyed it the food!

Sadly Stonehouse claim to be dog friendly but not this date unless you want to sit out the back.

Amazing food great prices brilliant staff Definitely will recommend

I recently visite this sandbrook crown for breakfast, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. The food was simply awful—poorly prepared and lacking in flavor. On top of that, the prices were unreasonably high for the quality offered. Considering the combination of bad food and high cost, I can confidently say it’s not worth visiting this place. There are far better options available in the area for a satisfying and affordable meal. Save your time and money and look elsewhere.

Food was ok. Not enough staff, one staff member was really nice, the rest not so much. Everything took ages. Tables weren't being cleared. Customers were moving other customers plates so they could sit at the table. Had to request kids ice cream twice, took about 40 minutes to get strawberries and ice cream. Staff looked offended when we asked the second time.

Food was cold on carvery on Sunday 19th and prices have gone up. Staff were friendly though. Improvement needed cover food when not busy or replace please.

Great service the staff are lovely

Very friendly staff, great food and atmosphere

Never ever again I spent nearly £100 for 4 of us that includes two kids meals, they lost 2 of my tickets which meant I waited nearly 1 hour for my drinks and the same for my dessert... we went to the bar 4 times and when it finally arrived the brownie was the size of my little finger(the brownies was adult ones)

The sandbrook is my local and is always hospitable and friendly. Great sports playing throughout the day. Chilled atmosphere with quiz nights on a thursday. Carvery is great as well as bar snacks. I usually go after work with a few colleagues occasionally and the staff are brilliant. Always friendly and welcoming :)

Amazing staff so friendly and helpful i have an autistic friend and there very catering to her requirements we go there regular because of this

Visited for Xmas dinner with the family and it was lovely. Food was great and the service was amazing we were served by Judit, Micia and Skyla they were lovely and a credit to the restraunt! Thank you :)

Had a fabulous time at the Christmas Pizza Party. Our girls loved it. Katie and her team were amazing and ensured all the children got involved. Plenty of activities such as a disco, games, prizes and of course Santa and the Grinch. Thanks again guys we will see you for your next party. Highly recommended 🤩

Great food the turkey was amazing the staff were so friendly and both my kids had the bast time.

Absolutely 💯 disgraceful no meet and greet your staff are so stuffy dressed the carvery had only 2 kinda of meet we had to wait 15 minutes before someone came to c to us and the food for cold I was so annoyed never again will we eat there again also the tables were not cleaned it was so disgusting 🤢

A really nice relaxed place to grab food

My go to place every time. The staff are friendly and very welcoming. The food is good pub grub. The fresh made pizzas are a dream!

The service was amazing from the staff tonight and the food was excellent🙂 will definitely recommend and will return next time.

Not often I give a 5 star review for everything but credit where credit is due, firstly the staff was so attentive. My partner wanted carvery (as always) and I was unsure what I wanted, I got a recommendation from the girl on the bar and chose the philly stack burger and my o my wad that the best choice! My food arrived at the same time my partner had got her carvery and we got to eat together that usually unheard of at other places. So wanted to leave this review to say a huge well done to the staff tonight you made our visit very enjoyable and we will definitely be visiting again.

Absolutely fantastic. Food was great came out quick and warm. Nothing bad to say

Lovely carvery, fast service by out waitress Faye who was very friendly & helpful with our son's dietary requirements.

Very good food for a reasonable price. Really good service especially from Sarah.

Food was ok drink was flat service was a bit slow

Faye was brilliant! She was very understanding of our allergy requirements and really helpful and funny!

Had a fabulous carvery at the Sandbrook today, served by the lovely Ben, all the food was piping hot

Starters are great for the picky bits the cheddar jalapeno donuts are lovely great staff pleasent atmosphere

We come as family often on a Sunday and we have enjoyed every single visit. Staff are very professional, friendly and helpful. We highly recommend it. Special thank you to Faye for attention to detail and brilliant customer service.

Came in today had the carvery was absolutely lovely, lady on bar was very friendly and polite

Delicious food and great service from Fay! will be returning.

Had a lovely time at the sandbrook, all the staff where lovely especially Faye! Thankyou xx

Dried up food today and extremely rude arrogant chef serving the carvery. Says hes worked ther years and the food is always like that.!!!

Staff are helpful and friendly Carvery was nice but could of been hotter as it was not very hot just warm Quite when we visited so atmosphere okay

Fab service this morning from. The team

Food and service where fantastic fair few in for breakfast and service was brisk. And food kept coming out the kitchen at pace.

Reasonable breakfast for seven and a half quid. Slightly shabby furniture but you get what you pay for.

Fantastic service from the staff, had a lovely catch up with friends yesterday for drinks. Such a lovely vibe for the Halloween party for the children. Will be back again.

Great service for tea on Monday, definitely recommend lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Thank you Lorraine for making our night.

Fab service from the staff for lunch, thank you Faye.

Breakfast was fabulously delicious, love the fact that mushrooms are now included in the breakfast. Food was hot and tasty, great service. We will be back again.

Waiting ages for a plate, to then get a plate and ask if he would be getting mushrooms which then took another 15 mins to come out, by this time the rest of the food on my plate was cold. Too busy doing internet orders. Not enough staff. Absolutely awful. Tables not been cleaned after people have left

Lovely crispy wings with selection of sauces, meat fell off the bone. Made by Shian, Dominogos and James. Wings brought by the chef

Absolutely freezing. Doors wide open. Told by a young member of staff pub was too warm. So everyone sat in their coats. Terrible.

Hit and miss in terms of service but the food is always good. Great prices and decent offers.

Came for breakfast and it was perfect… Amazing service from Lorraine von Liam and Kath will definitely return every time I get chance

Very welcoming, staff make the place, very friendly. Quick service and the food great, hot and tasty. Tables are cleaned quickly.

Service was brilliant food was nice and loving how the mushrooms are now included!

Amazing breakfast this morning, food is always nice and the staff are really friendly and attentive nothing to much trouble when asked upon

Sandbrook has knocked it out of the water again great food great service by faye, Lorraine, becky and CJ keep it going guys

Brilliant service from Faye and Lorraine today. Drinks served to a perfect temperature, will be back again for their service.

Carvery was brilliant, meat was very tender and great selection of veg

I have just been for a breakfast and have never been so disappointed. The bacon looked uncooked, not everyone likes raw looking bacon. The beans swimming in what appeared to be a watered down sauce, tomatoes freezing and sausages were cooked on one side raw on the other. These views are not just my own as there were people in the queue who had the same opinion. The standards have dropped dramatically . I have been refunded because it was not edible 🤮

Shocking been here a few times before and ok, but today meat was all fatty food luke warm Roasties warmed that much inedible , the bottomless ice cream now consist of ice cream and sauce no topping unless you pay a extra 50p each for toppings

Never had a worst carvery . The portion of meat was an absolute joke . When I complained the guy serving laughed and said “well it was worst last week we was made to weigh the portions “ he was serious . I will never go back x

Great stop for a decent chilled pint. Havent tried the food but carvery looked decent

All you can eat breakfast for £5.99 awesome. Also have free refills on the hot drinks. Was paying £7 previously to go somewhere else and it was just what you got on the plate. So bargain. Food was delicious. Will definitely be returning for more

Went for a carvery, all our food was nice, all that was missing from the carvery is parsnips and sprouts 🙂

Served by the sexy Faye, haha! Service was amazing by both Becky on the bar and Faye our waitress. Definitely recommended, will come back again.

Faye and Becky are great every time we visit

Foods nice and yvonne is a good host

Absolutely brilliant food and staff member Yvonne was polite and friendly making the experience more enjoyable.

Excellent food glad to see it back to help yourself very friendly staff

Bit tight with the meat on roast dinner

I enjoy the Sandbrook the staff are lovely

Lovely vibes perfect for a nice meal

The food is awful and the staff are worse avoid this place at all cost

Brought the family for a meal was a nice time will come bk von did well with the big ques

Amazing food, great day with the family thank you Sandbrook

Excellent service! Thankyou to Liam who was lovely

Really cheap nice place to eat good carvery on the weekday ,the Sheff is very friendly and takes pride in his food and speaks to his customers, the guy is top notch 👌, food was nice to what I like for the price ,playground was good for the kids above 5 year old tbh otherwise they might nit be able to get up the climbing frame ,overall nice place to eat amd have time out if you live in the areas near 😋

The all you can eat breakfast is nice, but could do with scrambled eggs. Also could do with individual Nutella pots for the waffles.
