The Sheldon Arms in Tameside

Me and my best friend come here atleast twice a month in the afternoon and the service is always fantastic. We have a lovely waitress that always serves us called shana. We have ended uo having a really good relationship with her, buy you can see how much everyone enjoys her as she seems to get on with all the customers. Thanks so much hun

Good food and the staff here were very friendly and helpful. Overall had a great experience here and will be coming back

The best, freshest, tastiest Sunday roast carvery around. Busy busy so no food sits around at this carvery and service was really good and attentive and all smiles from Heather our server, so pleasant and although very busy, she kept her cool and was ace. Great food and service what’s there not to love - we’ll be back :-)

Heather was our waitress, we have had her before also and she is always so friendly and nothing is too much trouble for her. And she is fantastic with the children. Great service

We had a great experience at the Sheldon! We were served by Robyn who had great service, very friendly and attentive! Thanks so much

Always the best atmosphere. The staff are attentive and always smiling. It's a busy place and they always do their best to keep it running as smooth as psooible. Food is delicious. Especially the Cheese and Onion Pie. Thank you to Shaunie, Georgia, Leah, Olivia, Katrina, Miles and the rest of the team.

Excellent service by Robyn, working her socks of!!!

Brilliant food, great experience with our waitress Shana she was lovely and very professional. We will be back

Sophie is always so welcoming and kind to us and our dog - she even gave us scraps from the carvery to keep Luna happy!

Great lunch brilliant service. Shana was excellent.

We attend the quiz every Thursday and Sophie is always lovely and very helpful.

Sophie is such a hardworking member of staff and is so lovely whenever she serves me, such a lovely asset to the sheldon arms :)

The staff are very nice. Sophie in particular is always so lovely and provides excellent service ❤️

Enjoyed our visit tonight, nice cheese and onions pie with the carvery options. Lovely service from Georgia and Miles. Will definitely be back. Thank you 😊

Good little pub, staff are polite & friendly. Carvery everyday with a good selection of meats with plenty of vegetables & gravy plus a good general menu Plenty of ales, lagers, wines & shorts for the grown ups & plenty of drinks for the little ones A good atmosphere for families, groups or individuals Good size car park

Visited on Saturday and had the Stilton steak with the 20% off grilled menu offer—absolutely fantastic! The service from the young lady behind the bar was amazing, though I didn’t catch her name. Such a great pub with lovely, friendly staff. 100% recommend—keep up the great work, guys. I’ll definitely be returning!

Belting service from Soph Geo and Kate

Arrived at 9am on Sunday morning it says on website and outside open from 8am. Went in was empty but a lady hoovering. A male employee came over and I asked “is it to early to get a coffee” as I thought maybe not open as no customer in. He said do you want breakfast. I said no a coffee. He said “well how many of you” quite aggressively I said just me everyone else is asleep I just want a coffee. He said well I need to know how many of you. I said again it’s just me (place is 100% empty) he huffed. I said I just wanted to know if it’s too early to get a coffee. He said well I won’t be able to help later…I wanted a simple coffee. I said ok so it’s too early to do me a coffee he huffed and started complaining again. I walked across road to MacDonalds and got a coffee. Such a simple question and such an unpleasant and unnecessarily complicated response. He really spoiled what had been a lovely Sunday morning.

We went for the breakfast carvery. In the hour we sat to eat I could hear one waitress complaining to a colleague that things 'weren't her job' and then a woman who looked liked she'd rolled out of bed with last nights make up on stomping over to pile bacon on a plate then stand behind the bar like Peggy Mitchell! It's a nice pub and the food was nice. Think the staff need to have a word though 🤨

Sheldon arms is a local pub.To my home, they have recently just started doing evening.Carriers and breakfasts are too good to go.The quality of the food and the portion that they prepare for you is outstanding of the staff are very friendly.One of the young girls even helped me.Bring the food to my car.As it was too much to carry. I can't thank you all enough Please keep the standards as high as they are.

Pints are full of life and Lauren the barmaid was really funny, friendly and welcoming.

The Carvery was lovely . Very fresh and a great choice of veg. We went lunch time and it wasn't busy at all.

Good beer and lovely staff. Didn't eat, so can't comment.

Excellent food. Had a carvery. Service from Shana was some of the best I've seen. Couldn't do enough for us. Highly recommend

Great food and service, Shana is so nice and helpful, had delicious lunch in very reasonable price, I would definitely recommend

had a lovely meal and the staff was very nice and helpful thank you ❤️

Nice place and brilliant staff and the beers are good the carvery is out of this world

Just been for a Sunday carvery and it was beautiful tasty and filling beef done to perfection also staff very nice to . Deffo be going again .

Always a good experience here good staff good food

Myself and my partner come here at least twice a week for food or just for drinks. The food is always served to an excellent standard and always well presented. The bar staff are always very friendly and in particular Leah stands out, she always goes out of her way to say hello and asks how we are. Very nice lady and a lovely place to visit

We have been contemplating visiting Sheldon Arms for a while after passing it so we decided to take the plunge. We reserved a table and arrived and the table still had pieces of food all over it. So I had to clean it myself. Not the best start but we stayed. The food was amazing and very tasty. The young staff members were polite and friendly. After finishing our deserts, we were told that we have 10 minutes to leave as they needed the table. I hadn't even finished my drink. Our total time at the table was only at 1 hour so I was a little annoyed we were being pushed out. We wouldn't go again.

Sheldon Arms, Lord Sheldon Way. Ashton Lyne OL6 7UB

Eaten here many times and can not fault it, consistent great service and Amazing food! Little on the pricier side for where it is however the food is worth it. Beer garden and kids play park outside as well as lots of different areas inside.

The cavery was disappointing the beef was like shoe leather the roast potatoes was that hard you could do damage if thrown and the yorkshire pudding were swimming in grease in the middle not a nice experience hardly ate anything

I had sirloin steak and my husband had a mix grill. Both meals were cooked to very high standards. The steak was tender and tasty and the whole meals were set out tastefully . Staff very friendly and helpful

Welcoming and friendly, with staff that are clued up on allergens. Ate the carvery with gluten intolerance and it was great

Went for tea. On a positive staff were very welcoming, the pub/restaurant very clean. That's were the best bits end. I had the carvery sadly very let down by the food. Broccoli were like trees hard to cut, food was only warm and the restaurant was quite cold. Will I recommend?? Sadly not

Went today for lunch which was amazing as always, the staff always go out of their way to make you feel really welcome.

I've been to the Sheldon Arms a few times and the service keeps getting better and better everytime I go. I went today with my friends and the carvery was fresh with a massive selection, one of my friends is vegan the advice from the staff was amazing and everyone went home with full bellies and happy hearts.

Great food, friendly service, nice atmosphere. Will be returning soon!

Saturday evening 1st February. Having booked we were seated but then waited after ordering well at least 60 mins to get meals. Fish was bone dry, I ate hardly any. Cheese and onion pie seemed like it had been microwaved far too long and the beans were tepid. The only redeeming thing was the Caesar salad. My sympathy to the server, she did her best to placate the delays. We asked if there were staffing issues but was assured that there wasn’t. I have been here many times before but have no inclination to return.

It is a very beautiful place to cool 😎 off the day stress with maximum entertainment and value for money 🤑 💸 You 🤞 will never regret every moment spent!!!

This was a lovely place to spend some time with friends. We asked for a quiet table and was allocated table 2 which was ideal. The carvery was excellent, food piping hot and nicely presented with a smile. We will definitely be back in April.

Cold food plastic in food nearly 2 hour hour wait

Can't rate it because I left. Can't believe they took scampi off the menu. No longer appears to be a veg only option for the carvery. May be wrong, just checked the menu. Thank heavens for Notcutts

Came yesterday at 1915 4 people the staff was lovely and very welcoming the lady who served me behind the bar was excellent. The food wasnt the best i do apologise i got a carvery the pork was very sweet and the pudding did not rise and veg very tuff Mix grill was ok Thank you

Great service by the staff. They were all very helpful. We were a party of eight but the food came quickly and was nice. Very clean toilets. Would highly recommend.

Great service and meals are well cooked.

Had another great meal and carvery was spot. Cannot fault anything.

Been to the carvery breakfast here a number of times. The selection is fabulous with plenty of continental and English breakfast options. All the staff are attentive and do not rush you at all. I drink decaff tea, and staff were happy to supply me with as many teabags as I wanted to go with my breakfast.

Good cheese and onion pie! First meal I've had with my dad in a few years and it was a lovely time.

Off sorts today,not normal standards .Shame.

The welcome was friendly, straight to our table. My grandson was welcomed to play. The service was exceptional, and getting a £10 birthday gift was just the icing on the cake!

Staff was absolutely brilliant so friendly and helpful and joyful which makes a change nowadays

During our stay at the hotel next door, we visited this establishment three times—for breakfast, a carvery, and a regular evening meal from the menu. Each experience exceeded our expectations. The breakfast selection was extensive, offering plenty of variety and impressive quality, especially given the reasonable price. The carvery and evening meal were equally tasty. We also appreciated the excellent selection of English beers. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive, ensuring we felt welcome and well looked after. We left very satisfied after every meal and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommended!

Lovely food and staff service next to none

A bit more pricey than I would expect but the food and service is very good. I think the Sunday roast could have a bit more sides or let you choose the sides you want.

We had a fabulous Christmas Day three course dinner. The food was fantastic especially the carvery. The staff were second to none. The guy in the red Christmas suit was particularly helpful and made sure everything was running smoothly. It was super organised. It was very busy but not chaos which has been our experience at venues on Christmas Day in the past. My grand daughter was given on a selection when leaving which was a lovely touch. Thankyou for a lovely afternoon and will definitely be going again next year.

Make sure you get a receipt when you pay for the breakfast, you will be asked if you paid!! I was asked twice, second time of going there,not once have I had a receipt, won't be going again!!!

Make sure you get a receipt when you pay for breakfast, because you will be asked if you paid, I was asked twice, won't be going again!!!

They made it a very happy morning, and deserve praise, the grandchildren we’re so relaxed and happy which is what we wanted and Santa was great and sang with the children, thankyou wonderful staff

Great place,need to book table at this time of year..carvery great

We will definitely be returning the food was excellent and the service was first class, thank you to Shana who was so lovely and pleasant she gets 5 stars from us.

Went for a carvery with 3 of my friends, food was nice. Was there just over an hour, felt pressured to leave as the abrupt man with the beard kept staring at us as if he wanted us to go. Left shortly after this. Waitresses were lovely and service was great.

Big thanks to Mike who served us on the carvery part. We asked him if he had any scraps for the dogs. He gave us a huge box. Lovely gent. Smiling happy. And great customer service 👍 food spot on as always and the floor staff are all great thankyou for a lovely afternoon

My Mum and I came for lunch on Monday 25th. Novmber th service was excellent, staff excellent and the food was absolutely gorgeous and fresh. Thank you 😊

A lovely spacious place to have an enjoyable meal with family and friends. It is also very wheelchair friendly. Can't recommend enough.

The 3 meat roast dinner is excellent, regular or go Large!! The menu is good and varied. Good wine list and well kept beers. Service by Shana Excellent. X

Every time I come to the Sheldon arms I never have a bad word to say. You can tell witch chef is on with the presentation and quality of the food. Carl. The waiting lady is very friendly and polite and nothing is to much trouble for her she feels like a friend when I visit the establishment. Shana. Also Lauren. Fantastic team.

Sophie the manger, was very informative about the new plum pudding ale. She even gave me a free sample which was really nice of her. Great experience will definitely be returning!

Faye the manager was very welcoming. Kelly looked after us all night and Jo and Grace . The food was lovely. Will defo be back.

Nice carvery friendly staff car park has good lighting at night

The nicest carvery dinner I've had in a while. Excellent service from very friendly attentive staff. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Had a lovely meal turned up last minute on a very busy Sunday and still got a table. The Carvery was delicious. Happy I'm very grateful that was accommodated thanks Pete.

Amazing staff, beautiful food, highly recommend and will be returning!

Absolutely disgusted. The only thing the food was nice although expensive. I booked a table for 2.00 for me and my friend. We was having such a nice time until at 3.30, someone came over and said our table is booked for someone else. I said that's fine, but can we take our drinks and sit somewhere else in which she replied no, there is nowhere else for you to sit. Then 5 mins later another person came over and told us he needed our table. So we basically got threw off our table and made to stand up. Nowhere on my confirmation email did it say we only get an hour and half if it did I would not of booked. I even clicked on to the blue bit of the email, never said anything atall. So me and my friend who I have not seen for ages were made to cut it short because we had to stand. Won't be ever going back absolutely discusting service. We don't mind giving the table up for others to eat but at the very least have a seating area for people to just drink like every other pub.

Been here many times and never had any issues, but today I ordered the medium carvery and asked for turkey, I received two slices which were seriously thin. I'm not one to build up the plate to the size of a pyramid with vegetables but the portion of meat was paltry. Not sure what the carver was thinking. Get a grip and deliver proper value. On a positive note the service was fine.

Lovely food,service is good great atmosphere

Just had the carvery here, after doing some shopping nearby. The chef is friendly, cheerful, and EVERYTHING was delicious... the Yorkshire puddings were tender and crispy, the stuffing was beautifully seasoned and the potatoes were crisp. The selection of trimming was nothing short of impressive, and in my opinion, for just under £17 for the large plate, excellent value for money.

1st time at The Sheldon Arms today. Beautiful food and great service at a good price. Well worth a return visit.

There really is very little to fault. It was a very well presented location, inside and out. It was reassuringly busy, but no wait required to get a table for a walk-in. Staff were friendly and presentable. Carvery price was reasonable and there was a wide selection to choose from, both meat and veg. Food was well cooked and hot. The location right next to the tram line was a pleasant surprise for the enthusiast, but no disruptive or noisy. Even the fairly busy road didn't impact the ambiance. The place well deserves 5 stars, but if I had to find something to comment on... Consistency of server would have probably made it easier on the staff. Two different servers tried to take our drinks order and I think we had three different servers total. Didn't spoil the experience at all and probably an easy fix. 😊 Getting out of the car park took a moment too - traffic lights right next tot the exit and traffic feeding from the left mean that, at busy times, you are relying on goodwill of other road users. Less of an easy fix, but I'd still happily eat here again. Thank you, Sheldon Arms! 🍽

I cannot compliment the staff enough for our visit. Super helpful from start to finish, and very friendly. We had two carveries, and considering it was a quiet Monday evening, I was surprised to find everything super fresh and very tasty. We will definitely be coming again!

Gorgeous tasty food and Leah is fantastic! We go for dinner on a Friday and have never had a bad meal. Fish and chips and beef fajitas being a highlight. We were late for our booking due to the buses and Leah was wonderful and found us a seat. Her service was excellent!

We regularly visit the Sheldon arms for breakfast or a meal later in the day. We find it excellent. The food is superb, the staff are welcoming and it’s well run. We would recommend it to anyone.

Apparently they don't take Christmas bookings after January after being sent an email confirming my interest and that they would be in touch

Friendly pub located next to the hotel where we stayed. Very welcoming, quick service at the bar. We decided to have a meal and were offered the carvery or the table menu. We ordered off the menu and weren't disappointed. Would go again. I had the Lees steak pie, which was so full of tender braised steak, gravy served as a side, there was no room in the pie for anything extra! Thin pastry, no soggy bottom here, cooked perfectly.

All you can eat breakfast whilst meeting a friend. There is plenty of choice and friendly staff.

A good selection of food and plenty of seating. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was tasty, but sadly the cheese pie was really dry.

Food was beautiful definitely go again

We have been for the Carvery breakfast a few times now and never fails to impress. Lots of parking, quickly shown to a table. Plenty of breakfast choices- Juices, coffee, tea, Cereals, yoghurts, pastries and toast. Available on the Carvery breakfast is bacon, sausage, hash browns, mushrooms, beans, tomatoes, black pudding and a choice of eggs fried, scrambled or poached. The sausage and bacon are really good quality, not cheap rubbish. Keep doing what you're doing it was thoroughly enjoyed.

My wife and I called in here today what a wonderful experience we had from the moment we walked in we was offered a Dining table of our choice the staff were all absolutely amazing the food was wonderful and the pub/ restaurant was spotless and clean we will definitely be returning many thanks for your kind and wonderful hospitality 5 STARS from My wife and myself..

Wonderful place, great food and lovely staff - will be here again.

Went in to the Sheldon for breakfast everything you could want was on offer cereal pastry’s toast jam tea coffee and as much English breakfast as you could eat the quality was really good enjoyed everything

Great carvery and food excellent and staff lovely .

Food is not right for the area, it's posh food at really expensive prices. Keep things simple and reduce the cost and alot more customers will come. We're staying at the travelodge next door and if the meals were considerably cheaper we would eat there around 3 times per week. As soon as we realised there was a pub next door that does food we were happy until we seen the prices. 😐

Really good food. Friendly staff.

Food was standard pub food options plus a carvery. Carvery was good with plenty of options. Burgers were tasty. The mixed grill was big and well cooked. The pie was packed full of meat. Olivia our waitress was very helpful and friendly. The restaurant was busy but Olivia kept checking everything was ok and kindly fetched us additional items and drinks.

For the price paid for a standard carvery dish it wasn't worth the money. You're allowed two different meats, and the chef gave me two slices of meat he sliced so thin it looked like sandwich meat. Potato and parsnips were hard. Yorkshires were nice and large, and mash creamy. Overall, not impressed and wouldn't pay that price again.
