The Shady Oak in Stockport

Great place ,really friendly we will be returning.

Came in for Sunday Lunch today with the family. The roast was fantastic and the staff super friendly and helpful. Recommend to all

Good little local in the middle of a housing estate

Gorgeous salad, friendly service, lovely outdoor space, dog friendly inside and out!

I arrived at this establishment together with my husband after a stressful and arduous 6 hour journey from Scotland as we were visiting family. His sister recommended the place as it was just around the corner from her house. She also warned that it could be busy as it was quiz night but only 1 person turned up which spoke volumes! My husband and I ordered crispy chicken burgers and his sister ordered chicken and leek pie. We waited over an hour until the meals arrived and yet we were the only ones eating! My sister in law's pie was completely inedible and looked like it had been microwaved followed up with a blow torch! Ours hadn't faired much better. She was offered a replacement meal by the stoney faced hostile landlady but we were not prepared to wait another hour with her beady eyes watching us. The landlady gave us a last scowl as we left, she shouldn't be anywhere near hospitality. Absolutely horrible experience!!

Good food. HOEGAARDEN and other good beers. Cheerful helpful staff. Outdoor "Park" for young children and Slushy drinks.

Great food and helpfull staff.. allways good service.. highly recommend.

Fantastic food great Staff always welcoming a perfect community pub doing a great job thank you

Most friendly place to go with dogs and children welcome. Food is excellent and prices are good. Everyone here are helpful, friendly and make you feel really relaxed and welcome. Best place to go in Stockport for a good meal and a fun night. Love it here.

Wow!! Well if I could give more than 5⭐️ I would. The service impeccable as was the food. Great Gluten Free options which you hardly find anywhere.

Dropped in with my dog Sergio after a good afternoon walk, and noted a few pints and a delicious meal, Sergio enjoyed his doggy special bangers mash peas and gravy as well, a bit quiet as it was Monday

Doesn't even deserve the 1 star rating , we booked a table for 18 for my nannas birthday who lost her sister a couple of days ago and it was a family meal with relatives who had travelled from Wales to be around my nanna , we pre-booked for 18 and asked wether they would like us to pre order and understandably it's a big order ect booked 2 weeks in advance we was told no need to pre order food , 2 hours and 15 minutes on they started to bring the kids meals out one by one , 30 minutes later 1 adult meal , mash absolutely freezing at this point it was beyond a joke , I asked wether all the food was now coming as it's been nearly 3 hours for the owner as she stated to shout back I've only got one pair of hands still waited no food , then the chef came out apparently to apologise which was the worst apology I've ever heard he simply said the food taking longer as I only have a microwave grill and 1 hob there's nothing he can do , my nanna at this point very upset who has Alzheimer's shouted where is my food , the chef with no teeth stated he wasnt going back to jail for getting high rate , all very rude no apology then charged us for the kids meals and stated it wasn't their fault as her dad who was 70 took the booking and they wasn't aware of it , i totally understand these things can happen but if they would of come out and apologised but they didn't the owner sent the chef out who still had zero people skills but tbf the owner was no better, also they dont serve Sunday roasts on a Sunday even tho on the menu as they don't start till September

Went with family including 6year old for food and drinks on a Sunday lunch time.food was delicious and generous portions, we got sandwiches, soup, panini, kids pizza and 2x fries all very reasonably priced and mainly homemade. We enjoyed pool and darts in a dedicated space and there are plenty of screens for when the football is on. Excellent selection of drinks and they do slushies! There is plenty of seating for dining or relaxing with drinks, the conservatory at the back would be great for a special party and they have lots of toys and games to keep the little ones entertained. There is outdoor seating in a lovely sunny spot and a great enclosed children's play area. They allow dogs and even have biscuits on the bar. I didn't get to sample the desserts but will be back for that as they do amazing ice cream sundaes, one of the staff team has made this her specialism so I can't wait to try. The landlady and all staff were lovely, very welcoming and could answer any menu questions, really glad we went in. Also plenty of parking and a handy convenience store next door that stocks everything!

Attended a friend's wedding doo at the gem that is The Shady Oak. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and charm. The ambiance was delightful, with a perfect blend of coziness and sophistication. The attention to detail in the wedding decor and cleanliness of the place truly impressed me. The food and drinks were exceptional, Whether you're looking for a casual night out or a special occasion, The Shady Oak is the perfect spot. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a five-star experience!

Passing by on my push bike and stopped for a pint and a burger. Great find

Staff all very friendly and polite had gammon egg with chips was very nice would highly recommend to go here will definitely pay another visit 😀

Great location and excellent beer choices. Shame about the dog poo in the children’s play area, and the huge Rottweiler off the lead that charges up to young children and small dogs

Great establishment. And emma was great. Really nice food . A gem

Great family experience. Pool, darts, play area.

Just been in to sample the new menu. Very good food, great and polite service. Will definitely be coming back for more!

Lovely coffee , welcoming atmosphere Play area and pretty lights are a great attraction show the owners actually care about their pub and broadening their customer base definitely be in again.

A nice enough place that lets you vape indoors … feels pretty chill to me too

Group of 9 last night, very friendly staff, lovely lad Ben serving us, pizza was fantastic value, fresh and delicious.

Very friendly staff and excellent value for money food - everything on menu tastes delicious!

The food is good and the staff is friendly.

Great place to go for a meal with the family. I highly recommend this hidden little gem in Bramhall.

Really nice staff. Well priced carvery with excellently cooked meats, good quality veg and a nice, big Yorkshire pudding. The beef was cooked just right (pink in the middle, but not bloody), and the pork was succulent, juicy and delicious. Would definitely go again!

Called for some lunch food was good as was the beer

Excellent Sunday lunch ,, can’t fault it , beef was fab and so much of it .

Local Pub just on my estate and until about a year ago they werent letting kids in but under new ownership they now do food which is good but takes ages to come and its a child friendly place with a play area that often breaks

Very enjoyable friendly staff really went out of their way will definitely be going again a lovely way to meet friends

Very noisy and the full menu was off as they were doing barbecue

Great pub and lovely atmosphere

We arrived back from Wales on a beautiful, sunny, Tuesday evening tired and absolutely starving. We popped round to The Shady Oak not realising that the kitchen closed at 7pm .... it was a few minutes past ... but Sharon took pity on us despite having obviously been extremely busy and short staffed and took our order! We both ordered a beef burger which arrived beautifully presented and was very tasty indeed. We both wanted to say a big thank you! ... you are doing an amazing job turning around a very run down awful pub into an amazing community pub that is a pleasure to visit!! Well done 👏👏

8pm on a beautiful Tuesday we came to try the newly refurbished pub. The “all day food” was no longer being served. The tables were left with leftovers and wasps for half an hour with nobody tidying up. It’s a real shame because the playground etc are nicely done, I don’t understand why the run it like this.

Nice friendly local pub with reasonable prices for food and drinks along with friendly staff and to cap it all you can take your dog!

Great little pub. Always a friendly welcome with a well kept selection of ale's. Recently refurbished with a great kids area and outside dining. Food is home cooked and not delivered to the pub. You can tell the difference and the carvery at the weekend will not disappoint and is not for the faint hearted. If you're in the area and fancy a good pint and good food in a friendly atmosphere it will not disappoint.

Excellent pub, very friendly staff and a all round great place to come for drink and food! Clean tidy facilities and excellent food at great prices! Highly recommend to anyone!

New owners are doing a great job making this into a pub you would like to visit again, very friendly and welcoming and definitely worth giving a go 👌 It'll come into its own when the weather improves with a much better outdoor area, expanded for 2022. Careful of the benches which, as I just found out, have melting varnish that sticks to your trousers when the temperature rises 😞

A family-oriented pub that is also really dog-friendly tucked away in a residential area. Food and drinks were good, just a bit of a wait.

Went last night food excellent Dolly Parton all so very good staff lovely and good atmosphere will be back

Lovely little venue now its got new owners and been done up, back to being busy like it was years ago! Family friendly and good locals, didn't hear a single argument all night on Saturday which is a rarity !

Nice quiet pub with great selection of ales and lagers. Carvery lovely and being renovated.

Had a coffee and lite bite, very good

Called in for the Mild Challenge after hearing it had been done up. Nice pub and the staff were really friendly.

3+ real ales in what feels like an airy living room. food at good prices, friendly welcome, pool table and outside seating, children's playground. A hidden oasis.

Used to come here for the pool table pre-COVID but not been since the refurbishment.

Can’t recommend this place enough! The food is world class, all home cooked and high quality! Can’t fault it!

Went to a childs xmas party. Lots of organised fun games. Visit and a lovely gift off santa. Well filled lunch box. Very friendly staff and good prices. Very enjoyable.

Excellent service, great atmosphere. They have made a fabulous effort for Halloween.

Lovely food , welcoming atmosphere the new owners have done a brilliant job re-vamping and its worked looks busier than ever. Play area and pretty lights are a great attraction show the owners actually care about their pub and broadening their customer base definitely be in again. Are you open Christmas Day?

Good lunch time grub.Kitchen closes at two,so early lunch.The asparagus quiche was very tasty,hubbies salmon cooked very well.

A huge thank you to The Shady Oak for making our 25th Wedding Anniversary a great meal and event to remember. Fantastic help in organising, setting up the room and during the event. Staff were excellent. Food was enjoyed by everyone and plenty of praise during the meal for how good it was. We can certainly recommend its a great place for any event.

Absolutely disgusting attitude from the landlady. I walked in on my own and asked the barman if I could bring the dog in and he said yes no problem. Then when I brought the dog in the landlady walked behind the bar and, right in front of me, said “tell them they can’t take the dog up there”. She could have easily said it directly to me. The next thing she brings a sign out and places it right next to our table which says words to the effect of ‘dogs welcome but keep them on the floor’. My dog was on my knee but again she could have asked politely instead of the passive aggressive stare and sign placement. Would NOT recommend!!

My wife and I have lived on this estate for 37 years and therefore know the Shady Oak very well indeed. We called in for the first time last night for food and beers and I have to say it was a great experience. We both had a chilli and drinks inside. The food was excellent. Large portion, top quality, good prices .... what more would you want? The pub is very comfy, the staff were very helpful and friendly and the service was excellent! Well done Gareth and Sharon for bringing the The Shady back to life! Looking forward to many more visits to our local pub.

Had a wonderful meal here yesterday. I recommend the pie of the day (leak and mushroom) yesterday, very tasty and filling. Well priced for what you get on your plate We had 4 meals two adult two child £28 . The staff really helpful and friendly. I recommand a vist to the Shady Oak whether it be a quiet drink on your or a family get together. Sharon & Gareth and the team keep it up you are doing a great job

Amazing service The food is to die for. Try it, you will never be disappointed x

Real nice place. Dog friendly. 🐕 back tomorrow. 😇

Always great to go in. Missing it at the moment and hopeful that it'll re-open soon

Very quiet.. Staff very friendly..

Quite good place to drink and talking with friends.

Ruined by management, no football and seems to hate the local community.

Absolutely shocking service! No beer left in any of the pumps, very limited stock for bottled beers. Landlord very scruffy looking and obnoxious, the inside of the pub had a very strong odour of cannabis. (I think coming from upstairs). Very poor food hygiene report online and generally dilapidated interior/exterior. I will not be coming here ever again.

Tasty food and a good range of ales.

Quiet local bar with friendly staff, pool table and convenience store next door.

Local estate pub. Really good value for lunches. Home made pies are really tasty. Oap lunch a bargain too. Good kept beers.

Good solid local pubs with different local beers and guest ales

Great beer, great home cooked food and great value.

Nice local pub with good beer and a pub quiz on Sunday night

Good beer and whiskey and good company 😎 I'll be back.

Great local pub... great value and tasty home cooked food. Friendly staff.

The Shady Oak is a good pub with plenty of parking places it serves good beer and food

Shady oak? More like shady rat!

Shocking depressing hole ! Wouldn't give it one star but no choice.

I left my handbag in the pub last night. Senior moment. I only realised at lunchtime today. So I phoned and described it. Yes they thought that was the bag that had been left. Called in to collect it and after establishing it was mine it was handed over. Excellent service. I am very grateful.

Nice pub, good to go in the week because it's quiet. Good sevice and prices are good too!

Seems like a nice enough place. Empty but seems nice.

Nice budget pub, nice staff and easygoing locals.

Excellent pub quiz on a Sunday night

used to be a good pub until the latest landlords to control. Attitude stinks.

Good Beer friendly staff and most of all DOGS ARE ALLOWED

Lived near the Shady Oak for 8 years and never been in, popped in a couple of years ago on the way home from another pub for a quick one and didn't realise what we'd been missing! We're now regulars in there, great food, great beer, fab prices, very child friendly, I would highly recommend.
