The Shay Wake - JD Wetherspoon in Oldham

I had a good meal couple of drinks good service and atmosphere friendly and helpful staff would go again has a nice beer garden 🍻🍷🥪🌮🌯🫔🥙🍔🍟

Fair prices but could be alot cleaner needs redecorating as decor is same as when first opened.tables always full of glasses and plates never anyone to clear it for you.

Food is great for the price, but it's NEVER hot enough.

It is what it is.. Cafe Del Microwave, staff are always nice

Local for great food at great value. Clean and a comfortable place to chill eat and drink. Always busy and child friendly. Massive beer garden to rear. Toilets on same floor so no 20 thousand steps to piss hahaha.

One of the better Witherspoons good choice of beer

First visit but will go again. Good food, good service and very clean and tidy.

Had breakfast there yesterday, brought food out with no bacon,took it away put bacon on by which time meal was cold ,beans tasted weird and so did egg ,no butter, would have been better going to 1.of the cafes in the high St,better quality ,the latte I had was Luke warm,never again

Had a breakfast which was hot & tasty, several people in at time but no wait for food even when busy.

Standard Weatherspoons food, but nice looking pub. Great staff.

Came for breakfast with my family Your staff are so rude and unhelpfully We have not been before and will never return To call a customer a liar is disgusting I ask for a name but was refused I will be putting on FB how we were treated And advise people not to eat there I also noticed I am not the first person to say how bad your staff are Read your own reviews I am truly disappointed and feel like I've let my grandchildren down because of how we were treated by your staff

Really nice for a Wetherspoons. Fast service Friendly staff

Extremely busy on a Thursday evening, unfortunately not enough bar staff.

Avery lively Wetherspoons pub/eatery. Always quite busy. The menus is varied, with specials attached to each day. They have a tendency to run out of centre dishes.

Now we all know Weatherspoons are just an ok pub when it comes to food but the one in shaw is top notch. Staff great after visiting the one in Rochdale and Oldham which was like the movie dawn of the dead ! Awful places full of the absolute dregs of society. Shaw actually has families and nice people eating and drinking

Typical witherspoon restaurant. Went in for lunch on our visit to shaw.wide selection of food and drink .Disabled parking and entrance plus a non smoking beer garden which I think it's the future 🤔

Cheap drinks what more could you want.

Busy and friendly, service quick and staff happy to help, food was hot and nice, plenty of places to sit.

Enjoy the Eggs Benedict for breakfast....

Staff pleasant, food good value for money, good selection of Ales. Some people look down on a 'spoons but that's a problem for them. Enjoy yourself in here without breaking the bank.

Great local pub nice beer garden

Nice atmosphere but much too noisy at times. Locally known as the turkey farm. Arrived for breakfast but apparently they have no eggs or avocado. No sincere apologies or explanation either. Will definitely not be eating here again, total and utter let down.

Food was avergage but the customer service more than made up for it. Atmosphere was good although could do with some music. Asked for steak medium rare however it was very rare when it came, I didn't complain until the lady working there checked on us and took it away for me to be recooked straight away with no problems, she then also checked on us when I started eating it again. My friend who was with me had a steak that was very tough and when he said this to the lady she said there wasn't much she could do but still referred it to a manager, who came over and offered to swap it for something else and refund the difference which was very kind. They even boxed it up for us on request which was extremely helpful as we had to leave soon. Would definitely go back soon.

Went here today with family customer service was disgusting . The "manager" kate I believe was one of the rudest people I have ever come across appalling attitude asked my family mum and dad who are in there 80s my 5 year old granddaughter to drink our drinks and leave for having a birthday cake for my husbands birthday. I appreciate they may have a policy regarding this but it would have been nice to have been asked not to eat the cake in a polite manner but oh no miss I'm on a power trip was so rude I could not actually believe it.

On the doorstep, worse places around Shaw

Love the booths, IF ya can get in one. Place is nicely decorated, can get busy at weekends though because its cheap drinks n food. The food is nice enough for a Wetherspoons. 30/8/2024- update, ok the beauty of a westherspoons is the APP, however this visit it was turned off, confirmed by the staff, as they were 'understaffed', which is fine, but at that time there was lots of spare tables and there seemed to be a normal amount of ppl, as apposed to the mass of ppl, and ppl walking around to find empty tables! There's was plenty! Hence why service only 2*, as we sat, took 15 minutes, ordering on the app, only to be told when goin to payment, that it's only possible to order at the bar!

LOVELY OUTSIDE EATING AREA- THIS IS A GREAT PUB AND BREAKFAST WAS DELISH

customer service here shocking i ordered “vanilla ice cream” on the menu it said it came with chocolate sauce and toffee sauce,when they brought it over it was plain vanilla ice cream i thought it was a joke.i asked a girl who works there about and she had a bad attitude and tried telling me that it was what i ordered but charged me for the one with the toppings on.

Lovely Grandma/Grandson date night.. food lovely, fast service, mocktails nice choice of drink for children, easy to get to, staff lovely and helpful

Great pub. Friendly staff, nice choice of drinks. Food is good value but not amazing, but why should it at this price point.

Excellent JD Wetherspoons fast bar staff and all nice people

Not been for a while. The food is great 👍

Met up with friends and the weather was nice so we could take advantage of the newly refurbished beer garden

Good nice wetherspoons. Fresh food, great prices. Only downfall is that face it is super loud inside. You can't hear yourself think at times.

Sat in the new beer garden. The sun was shining . They have done a good job .

Lovely family lunch. Staff all very welcoming

Easy going and casual,not intimate can be loud due to customers talking,good pub food,typical Wetherspoons

My mate who doesnt drink ordered milk on the app and they sent the bouncer out to ask us to leave. Charger us for the milk and dint provide the juicy calcium

With our experience today within Shawake the waiters named Dan could not do enough he went over beyond in his role, such a nice young man and made our visit so pleasurable as he was able to answer questions regarding the menu so quickly and easy without any hesitation. Such a credit to the shawake team. Keep up the good work Dan.

Food was lovely. Steak well cooked. Friendly staff.

Lovely staff, Neil is very professional and always serving with a smile.

Having our kitchen renovated so out for meals at local places. Friendly bar staff we were made very welcome and our food was lovely.

They kicked my daughter and her friends out for "causing trouble" when they did not. They had simply gone out to eat, and before they could show proof of their age were kicked out extremely unprofessionally. Terrible service!

First time I have been in and it's very nice and modern. Good prices for the drinks and the staff are friendly. I have not tried the food but I will do next time I come in which I think will be often and I am going to bring my mum for some dinner.

Well if it was me I would give no stars, we went to get some breakfast and when my partner asked when is it opening he never got told what time and the lady could not tell us. Wasn't sure how long to wait so gone to cafe instead, also can't even take a drink home that is a sort drink

The Food is always on the borderline of cold and literally warm, it’s never cooked hot at all

Bussy as you expect at good run pub.

Thomas Ryan, manager, best customer service I've ever had, always friendly and helpful, always goes the extra mile no matter what. 10/10 lovely man, an absolute credit to the company. Always has a smile, makes the experience amazing every time. What a legend.

We are regular visitors to Wetherspoon pubs, and this one in particular, and the last time we visited it was just not good, however it seems to have vastly improved 😊

The cook is very poor cold peas and tiny piece of batter that you would call a fish and the seating is terrible.

Who ever is cooking now can't cook especially the fish and chips I keep get tail end when a pay for a large fish it's basically just batter gone down hill this place used to be great .

Typical wetherspoons.Good value for money.

There is a darker coloured skined fella that leaves the kitchen ever now and then really has a sour puss face really puts me off my food also there is a few memebers off staff on the bar and floor that have the attitude of no regard for customers and buiness the memebers i am refuring to is a slimer lady in black and another lady little bit bigger both left a sour taste in my mouth atmosphere was brilliant but when it comes to staff i wouldnt recomend

I ordered the Mediterranean salad at £8.35, and some sliced chicken. The salad was really, really tiny and certainly not good value for money. When I looked at the menu to see what should the salad contain, and straight away I noticed there was no cheery tomatoes and the tiniest square of butternut squash. I took it back to the bar and explained to the ( who I presumed was team leader) what was wrong. She argued that she could quite clearly see most of the ingredients. So I asked can you see tomato there? The little madam sarcastically said well I get you some tomatoes then shall I?. Really? Is that the way to speak to regular customers who come in week after week? I didn't even bother telling her that my husband's food was stone cold too. Snotty little madam with a bad attitude. I hope I never have to speak to her again.

It's spoons....does what it says on the tin.

Food very good value it.was tricky parking as there's a lot of work going on and my mobility isn't great disappointed with toilets as they didn't flush

For a spoons, foodwise it was actually really nice. Food came out tast and was hot (unlike other branches) presented nicely too. Staff were friendly and helpful. Only downside the local drunks throwing up all over their table for which reason I mark the atmosphere as a 1 star

Only called in for a coffee great service lovely atmosphere

Busy which is fair but no tables because you had single men taking up family tables when there were 2 seater tables available and service was so slow we walked out. For a busy place you need more staff

Warm and welcoming, with affordable drink and food but not the most tasty food obviously. Good value for money however.

I went here to meet some friends for food and a drink after a busy day of moving house. I was able to order on the app and have everything delivered to our table. Everything was great. No complaints here.

Good food morning lunch an brunch an dinner

The staff here are so helpful and hardworking especially Neil and Tom I hope their bosses appreciate just how hard they work.They go that extra mile and it’s much appreciated

Excellent prices but food disappointing

Desired taste for desired clientele

One of the best Wetherspoon's around. Nice staff, welcoming place. Clean tables and toilets, which is unusual for a Wetherspoon's. Highly recommended.

Cant say the food (breakfast) was that nice i had the traditional breakfast and spent the rest of the day/ night being sick.

Always a decent breakfast and the staff are fit.

Excellent selection of food and drink with friendly prompt service , oh did I say excellent value as well

Enjoyed our breakfast very relaxing.

We came here today after a top of the table football match for our under 13's team, approx 30 people rocking up at 11:30am wanting breakfast, the staff were fantastic at accommodating us! All the orders were spot on, food was lovely, the price even better, and the staff were best of all! Honestly really that good!

One of the better wetherspoons. Nice food and great atmosphere

The food is good at a good price and the beer is cheap and cheerful. Only down side is the Guinness I had last time smelled a bit like wet dog. The glass washer just needs cleaning out more often.

Nice clean pub, friendly staff, nice welcoming atmosphere… but the Guinness was only just drinkable. It was fizzy not smooth and the head was thin and watery. 2/10

Very good service, the food I've had better, it wasn't hot enough, ok for basic lunch

Much better than the wetherspoons in oldham town centre

Good quality food and drink, cheap prices, good atmosphere

The tall blonde male manager is very rude to people maybe because I am a woman he is clearly in to men only but he doesn't need to be so rude with women

Took 7 weeks and numerous emails to head office for a refund after being declined meals after paying via app due to having a 16 year old with us later in the evening.

The busiest Spoons we have been in, which is great for pub life and British culture. My first order at the bar. A pint of Stout and a half of Carling. A young lass was serving me the pint, and a lad put the half Carling in front of me...teamwork at its best!...Well done Shay Wake team..

Its a small spoons orientated for dinning with lots of booths. Astoundingly quick breakfast delivery and but cold too. Good service and not expensive but is smaller than in the past so not best priced. A year on, I should have read my own review. Truly awful breakfast, stone cold, tiny portion. Even the coffee was poor. Done with this place. Never no more

Cozy lil place to hang out great selection of beers wines and spirits. Food good too.

Wanted coffee, was just given an empty cup. No explanation that there was a self serve coffee machine. Poor service

Awful food. Ordered 2 steaks which were all gristle and fat. Manager refused to do anything about it saying the steaks are "CHEAP" and come like that. An absolute disgrace. Do not deserve the business! The worst one they took away and binned it so I couldn't take a picture of that!

Sat down for a quick panini as you fo , great service from leah she poured the crispest pint 🙌

It's a balance between what you pay and what you get. A solid 4 star eatery. The service is overall good, sometimes it's lacking, but the people are generally nice. Sometimes the chefs need to take extra care over what they're doing.

It has been a while since I have eaten here. It was clean and service was good but the egg/mushroom Benedict left me with an upset stomach even though I did enjoy it.

Good food and prices. You can get unlimited hot drinks refill all day . Always plenty of customers.

I order a large breakfast without egg and get offered another item to replace it not all wetherspoons offer this

Elderly company I was in became confused at drinks ordered and price charged for. Manager without question refunded amount queried. When clarified no overcharge was made. Manager was courteous and polite making refund a gift

As with all the only wetherspoons I know where the toilets aren't a 3 mile hike

Best place on the planet. 10 out of 10. 😁

Food was great! Served by Sophie, an absolute pleasure quick service and very friendly and polite

Normally the atmosphere in here is a bit dull but with the wonderful service I got from Leah i might come more often.

Leah was very friendly. Welcoming staff great food like ok forward to visiting again

had really nice food and really nice service, leah especially was great with us!

Nice and friendly place. I had the pleasure of being served by leah, she was polite, chatty, calm and very efficient even when the bar was extremely busy. Other girls on the bar seemed nice as well!

Gorgeous full English Breakfast. Food nice and warm.

Great place .quite small not always room

Nice coffee. Pay once and get unlimited refills
