The Three Crowns in Oldham

We visited the Three Crowns at lunchtime as we had heard good things about it and we were very glad we did. The menu was very varied they do a 3 course special for £18.50 we just had 2 courses as after our starters of homemade soup and fresh bread followed by a lovely cottage pie with fresh vegetables we were too full for a dessert. The young man serving us was a credit to the place very attentive making sure we were happy with our meal and everyone around us seemed to be very happy with the food. The interior is very nice and cosy they have a log burner which would be nice in the colder weather. We would definitely return again!

Initialially went to The Spinners Arms in Woodbrook for Sunday lunch but decided not to stay there for our meal as the food was advertised as "homemade fresh food"and you can tell a frozen Yorkshire pudding a mile off,also frozen veg not fresh,had a walk up to The Three Crowns where we'd seen photos of their lovely food,couldn't wait to get there in fact,sat down,drinks in hand and ready to order when I asked a member of staff whether the chips where Vegan?potatoes are vegan aren't they?said the staff member with a smirk on their face😮I then had to ask if the said vegan potatoes where actually fried in the same fryers as meat products,they didn't know,so we drank up and had a lovely vegan meal up atThe Old Original,great meal,friendly staff 👍

Enjoyed a wonderful meal this evening, great food, friendly service and reasonable priced!

Went for Sunday dinner, just like to say, under fed and over priced not the best, small amount of turkey 1 sliced carrot and a stem of broccoli and a small Yorkshire pud. I had a pint of Timothy taylors I asked the waiter to change it but never got it changed he just took it away. This place is pretty new to the owners a lot of improvements needs to be addressed. Will nit go again until it has improved

Not good!! Sunday roast meal was very poor, 2 tiny roast potatoes which were rock hard, 3 tiny carrots, turkey was ok but overall not value for money. Dessert of sticky toffee pudding was again dry and over microwaved. Staff inexperienced and service was slow , finally bill was incorrect in their favour. Overall somewhere we will not be returning to

first time at this lovely pub this evening, the food was exquisite and cooked to perfection, highly recommend the seabass. Welcoming and very friendly. Was served by the lovely and attentive Ryan. Will definitely be going back. Xx💯

Lovely lunch. Warm atmosphere, lovely staff. Back Saturday for New Year's Eve. Been in today. Now looking for a new landlord/lady. It's a cracking pub which has had a lot of money spent on it. Needs a new owner and not another pub turned into flats. Be a pity to see it close. New owners, not new to the pub game. Good choice of drinks and a new menu. Chicken and mushroom sauce was lovely. A refreshing change to see a pub reopen and improve. Looking forward to a sundrenched drink in the beer garden, in the upcoming fortnight.

First time eating here since the new owners have taken over , great food friendly and accommodating staff. Will definitely be returning. Highly recommend 👌

Our first meal here since the the new owners have taken over and it didn't disappoint, I had the flat iron steak sandwich and it was lovely, my daughter had the nuggets off the children's menu and really enjoyed them . The staff are very friendly and accommodating and even the new landlord came over to ensure we were happy. Definitely worth a visit if you've not been since its been taken over. We will be going back to sample some more of the menu.

Had a great time 5 stars, 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Enjoyed our evening 😊 shame there was only a one young lady serving behind the bar and then in the restaurant. Overall we had a lovely meal and I'm sure the service was just a glitch. Will definitely visit again.

Absolutely terrible meal. Messy chips was chips with bacon bits and a small amount of mayonnaise. The cheese and onion pie was so small and looked like it had been run over

We had the fish Friday special, excellent value and the large portion was massive. Hot and tasty. Nice atmosphere in the pub.

Under new management, the food is absolutely lovely! Great offers and specials boards! Lots of options to choose from.

The first time I've been in a while, there were 4 of us, and the food was lovely , with great portion sizes. The pub wasn't busy, which surprised me because the food and service were so good . We did have problems getting through to them and had to go up to book a table. The phone number on google and Facebook is wrong ,apparently, there is a post on Facebook with the correct number .we will definitely be back .I would say they need to get more on social media and get them selfs out there for people to see the amazing food.

March 2024 - New Management Wary of going since change! Went for first time today. Nice venue. Sweet host. Very attentive. Promoted the special. Cleverly they didn't cut down size or accompaniments. 2 Fish and chips for £15 - done well! Fever tree flavoured tonics great. Could be that the Three Crowns is on the way up!! But they need to be careful. Check the menu. A few mistakes spotted. Also, reduce range of similar foods & increase variety - avoid too much re heating. Yes, charge more for quality don't overcharge for average fayre like the ubiquitous sticky toffee pudding and choc brownie.... Will try more next visit! 2023 Update - Don't know what happened but worst meal we ever had. Fish had funny taste. Refused to accept this. Then admitted they had wrong fish delivered and it was some flavoured pre battered.

The food was top quality the staff were friendly an helpful would reccomend tp anyone ill deffenatley be going back

Food was amazing complements to the chef and the guy serving was friendly and funny, cosy pub couldn't ask for better service or food.

Went to this pub for some lunch with the family today. The food was amazing and too many choices, even the kids menu had a lot of different options. Staff are very friendly and made us feel comfortable. 10/10. Will be returning again

The food was excellent, nice cosy pub, i had prawn cocktail and cheese and onion pie, chunky chips, absolutely delicious and my husband had sticky chicken wings, a burger with fries and said it was the best he'd ever had. Will definitely be going back again, cost about £25 each but so worth it 👌

We went here today to celebrate Mother’s Day. New owners, new chef. Absolutely delicious and beautifully presented home cooked food. Great service, lovely atmosphere! 100% recommend eating here! It’s also a bonus that kids eat for £2! Can’t wait to visit again to try more of the menu!

Beautiful food & the girls who served us were lovely too ☺️such a nice atmosphere, not too busy or crowded. Excited to come back!

Came for a meal after getting a recommendation but we didn't see what the big deal was to be honest. Food was just as good as any other pub and wasn't outstanding like most people make out. The Service was quick but the overall atmosphere was dire. We won't be back unfortunately 😔

We heard the food was very good. Turned up Saturday evening at 2000 with a sign "Publican required" on the door which was ominous. "Food stopped at 1945 and we close at 2100" was our greeting. Staff are probably demotivated. Hopefully next time we travel up from London things will be better.

We ate here on 15/8 around 4:30pm. The lady that served us was lovely. The food was very tasty, with large portions and it was great value for money. We really enjoyed it, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will return

Friendly atmosphere, food fantastic, highly recommend fish and chips.

Lovely sunday Roast will definitely be back again.

Disappointed - when this was first refurbished it could not have been better and we regularly brought friends with us to enjoy the high standard of food and service. Unfortunately it's just become another pub with average food and a poor menu selection.

Superb meal for 6 tonight. Excellent service. Highly recommend. Also had lunch for 2 yesterday again the food was lovely.

Food was not too brilliant all looked roast burnt beef bit tough you get a lot. Apple crumble couldn't eat it.

Love calling in here for lovely food Good price , nice atmosphere. Made welcome . Lone traveler.

Been to better pubs for meals. Roasts were burnt beef not as tender as I would like. And the apple summer fruits and custard was not ableto finish was not nice. No one came with a bill like other places. Had to go to the bar for it. Also the waiter just leaned against the wall to talk to us. I could not hear him.

Even though we only live a few doors away, with not being drinkers, we very rarely visit The Three Crowns. Booked a table for two today, for a lunch time treat, for my wife's 50th Birthday. Food was absolutely stunning, the young chap that served us, was very polite and efficient. He had put the birthday balloon and flowers, that I had dropped off earlier, on our table, ready for our arrival. The service was very timely, hardly any waiting time. I cannot praise the staff, and food quality enough. Thanks to all involved. (Just hope it's not another 50 years before we get chance to sample that amazing food again 😂😂). Spotlessly clean, well presented, and very reasonably priced. No hesitation in offering a 5 Star Rating from us!!!!!

First time visiting and it won't be the last. The food was lovely and go hungry.. the portions are huge!

We went as a family of 7 for a birthday meal. It is THE worst pub meal I have ever had! The food was absolutely awful and the service was shocking! We booked a table at the pub for my nephews birthday. When we sat down we were not informed of anything not being available on the menu. When we ordered the food we were told the cauliflower cheese wasn't available. 15 minutes after we placed the order we were told that the dough ball starters were not available, which 3 of us had asked for. We should have been told this when seated and handed our menus. This meant half of us had a starter and the rest didn't. The prawn cocktails were very poor. For mains 3 of us ordered the sirloin steak and chips. We asked for them to be cooked medium. All 3 steaks were served cremated and so so salty that they burnt our mouths. The chips were undercooked and dripping in grease. One of us had the burger, again absolutely cremated! 3 of us had the Sunday dinner which was poor but not as bad as the other meals. It was advertised as being served with roast potatos but arrived with mash potato. We were never asked during our meal if we'd like more drinks, and never asked if everything was OK. When the plates were collected we explained about the steak being over done and extremely salty. The waitress said 'ok ill knock it off the bill' however there was no apology. Mine was knocked off the bill as I'd not eaten it. I still had to pay for the other 2 steaks. My children ate them because they were hungry but didn't enjoy them one bit. When we wanted the bill we had to go to the bar to get it and the same when we wanted to pay. The table service was terrible. If it wasn't my nephews birthday I would have shared how I felt, however I didn't want to upset him. The chef needs more training and the front of house staff need to work on their customer service skills. We will not be returning.

This place has gone down hill. Really poor service, high prices and limited menu. I was a regular here but I now go elsewhere for my Sunday lunch.

Crackin beer, great service & brilliant atmosphere.

Service excellent, food good and plenty parking.

Haven’t visited for some years, but went on a Tuesday night with friends for food and a catch up. Food was very good, well presented and plentiful. Will definitely visit again.

The food is nice here. And the chips are the best 👌

Very disappointing. Table booked for 7pm. Our order was rushed through as staff 'wanted to finish early'! And made that very clear as waitress kept checking throughout the meal, whether or not we had finished yet. The food was poor. Cheese and onion pie, ordered by 2 of the party was inedible as were the overcooked potatoes. The fish option on the menu wasn't available and salad with overcooked piece of chicken was poor. All in all a very disappointing experience.

Cosy and friendly would definitely go back

Visited this afternoon for dinner with our 3 children. Lovely food at a reasonable price and excellent service. The staff are very welcoming and inclusive to our child needs. Will be visiting again and would highly recommend.

Visited on Good Friday, early evening, for a drink. The three lads sat at the bar in their tracksuits and the older lady behind the bar serving did nothing but shout and swear. Made the atmosphere awful. No wonder there was no-one else in there. Swiftly finished our drink and left. Back in it's day this was a fantastic pub, however we won't be visiting again now.

This was our second visit and we were disappointed by the food compared to our previous visit. The quality had deteriorated as had the portion size.

Very good value lunch with great staff. They really try to please. Been many times now. Sunday lunch a favourite.

First time coming on Saturday. Lovely decor, great atmosphere, lovely server's. Food, waited short of 40 minutes. Why? This is where others would moan, ( because it is all homecooked food. ) and it certainly is worth the wait. Tieing in with the Kings arms on grains Road for food standard and presentation. I now have a new favourite. Also as a family I dread going for food with my youngest as he can have meltdowns, not one eyelid batted, or a word said so thank you.we managed to stay the full meal! Great work! And hats off to the chef.

Popped in for another Sunday roast. Always greeted with a smile and attentive staff. Food as always was fantastic. Thank you x

Food spot on, very attentive and friendly staff.

Booked Christmas day dinner here we all enjoyed it, lovely fresh food , great service and welcoming .We had a great day thank you Amy and staff.

Arrived on Monday 19th, greeted by friendly staff and served promptly. We ordered 2xTurkey dinners. The meat was moist, and served with traditional trimmings etc .. We opted for two festive courses for only £19.95. Overall, this was our first time here and we had a pleasant visit. We will certainly return in the new year.

I booked a meal at lunchtime for 2 people. It was quiet when we arrived. The waitress came twice before we had chosen our food. It got a bit busier with large tables and after about 10 mins, we ordered our food. There was a set menu , 2 courses £19.95. We both ordered turkey dinner. After a VERY long wait it arrived. 2 slices of turkey, one parsnip, one carrot, 2 small roast potatoes, 5 small sprouts. A burnt ball of stuffing, rock hard and 1 pig in blanket about 2cm long, a spoonful of mash and gravy. We ate what we could and it was OK. We then waited for menus for pudding or drinks. The lady came over once while my friend was at the toilet asking if we wanted more drinks but said she'd be back in a couple of minutes when my friend returned. It was the last we saw of her! We weren't offered pudding and decided to ask for the bill. We were charged £16.25 each just for the main! It was not worth it.very average. People who came in after us were served and left before us. We were there 3 hours for one main. Needless to say we won't be rushing back. I was more disappointed as I booked it based on previous good reviews.

Great menu choice,really good idea to have a lighter lunch menu. Although not busy on a Monday afternoon,still a nice atmosphere

I had a lasagna it was disgusting hardly any mince. Must have been microwaved about 20 times. The atmosphere is dyer. Will not be returning

Good pub lunch, handy as we live not to far just for a light lunch etc very friendly staff always happy to help , rag puddings are very good 😀 😋

Tried light lunch which was good value for price. Good size portions but ideally slightly more custard needed on the crumble. Steak on the ciabatta was tasty and good portion but spoilt because ciabatta wasn't toasted and so extremely dry to eat ( I couldn't eat it) would have liked fried onions ( but not offered) but skin on fries were yummy. Overall recommend it.

The only positive thing I have to say about our first experience is that water a biscuit treats were offered to our puppy on arrival. Firstly we had to ask on 3 occasions for the chefs to turn down their dub step music that was playing so loud!! it never got turned down or off. The table next to us had also made a comment about it but didn’t say anything to the staff. Whilst we were trying to enjoy a Sunday roast with our 1 year old daughter, we were also listening to said chefs rap about orgasms and just general disgusting stuff that I don’t appreciate hearing whilst in a family restaurant on a Sunday evening. As first time customers we won’t be returning. There was no apology when I told the lady we were leaving, there was no apology at any point of complaint which was made 3 times. I would recommend giving your chefs a very strong word and your staff to respect customers wishes. I would also recommend some sort of fly repellent as it seems there were more of those coming over to see if we were ok after the complaints than the staff.

First time I've been in the pub. Immediately, on walking in a staff member gave a warm welcome. The pub was very clean and well decorated. Plus a nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Fantastic place food, service everything

Great service , good value, fresh homecooked food. We left it late booking Sunday lunch for 8 of us. They were already pretty full but squeezed us in. We arrived late and with two missing but they were still really hospitable. Service was with a smile, nothing was too much trouble. Service was also timely, no long waits between courses but long enough you knew food was being prepared fresh. We had Sunday lunch menu . The portions were substantial. Lovely , home cooked style roast dinner. The Childrens menu was a nice selection. The kids pizza was pretty big and a nice authentic Italian style base. Clean plates all round. We will definitely return. (Infact we are returning today for another go! ) We will definitely be back.

After waiting over 30 minutes for our starters to arrive, we looked around and realised only 1 table had food, every other table looked fed up and nursing their drinks. The table next to us then asked the waitress how much longer they had to wait, she came back and said 'they're just plating it up now'. 15 minutes later, still no food out of the kitchen for anyone. We asked the table how long they'd been waiting - 90 minutes (they'd only ordered mains) hearing this we told the waitress to cancel our order and left. On a positive note we went round the corner to The Old Original, food was absolutely gorgeous and service was rapid thank goodness!

Really looked after our party of 25 people. A great selection of tasty food and plenty of it. The drinks flowed with no waiting at the bar. Lots of positive comments from our guests. All in all a successful day

King prawn starter was lovely, chicken liver pate excellent, Rag pudding and chips,mushy peas very nice ample portion even off the light lunch menu. Gammon and hullumi fries very nice. Sticky toffee pudding and custard. For dessert Excellent. Nice mix of music played . Staff pleasant and welcoming. Recommend the light lunch menu. Great value for money.

Great. Generous portion of roast beef on my Sunday dinner. However .. THE best Yorkshire pudding I've ever had including the ones I make myself and mine are yummy ! Staff were great. Lovely change for me and my daughter stopping on our walk today. Thanks !

Absolutely lovely food. Good to sit outside and eat near the play area whilst the kids ran around. Play area is good for under 5s I'd say. Welcoming and friendly staff. Overall a great place to meet friends with young children and relax over good food!

Following previous positive visits, four of us decided to spend a lunchtime at the venue. The food was adequate for a pub restaurant. The time waiting for the starter was considerably longer than expected, in excess of 20 minutes. The soup was lukewarm, which came with a roll, advertised as artisan, which it certainly was not. We did refer to the temperature when the member of staff enquired about whether all was OK. We then waited another considerable length of time before the main course arrived. One item on all three meals was incorrect, which was eventually rectified, too late really to be eaten with the meal. We did refer to this to the second member of staff who was serving us, she informed usvof the busy nature of the venue. There were at maximum 3 other families in the pub but there were apparently several people outside. As a concession we were offered a complimentary dessert. We opted not to take this as time was ticking by. We requested the bill, which promptly arrived with another member of staff equipped with card machine. We asked whether some discretion was to be made, following such a disappointing experience The offer was to remove £2 per person. We accepted and left. Although we are local, this is the last time we will visit The Three Crowns

Lovely location with public footpaths into the countryside only a few feet away . Car parking. Wonderful freindly staff. The drinks were perfect both with flavour and cool temperature ( smooth Tetleys and white wine ) a varied choice on the menu with our chosen dishes both being very enjoyable . I only did this review because i have visited it a few times and it deserves full credit

Just been to 3 crowns amazing food just want to thank the chefs I will begoing back 💗

This pub used to very popular. We thought we'd give it a try for a lunchtime sandwich. We arrived at 12.30pm. The place was deserted and the sandwich menu not appealing for us. In the end we had a coffee and went home for lunch.

Went for the first time a couple of weeks ago since it has been taken over. Not a large menu and more like pub grub than restaurant food

One of the best meals I’ve ever eaten, the crispy chilli beef was better than any Chinese, I loved it so so so much. Would 100% recommend, amazing food!

Visiting from Australia and this is one of the great local pubs. It's great to finally come across a pub that actually creates and cooks their own food. Great quality, friendly staff and a great menu with the classics plus a few additions. Thanks very much

Massive portions (maybe too many chips) but food was great! Cheese & onion pie to die for!! Please can you start serving blue cheese dip with the buffalo wings🙏🏻💗 overall lovely experience and the staff were really nice x

Great place.food was excellent. Service was excellent. And the staff was excellent. Cannot fault it

The Inn was not busy, but we waited over 40 minutes for our meal.

Fantastic staff, really friendly and attentive. Great food not too expensive either and a really old school pub feel

Great pub/restaurant nice pleasant eating area inside and out Good menu all cooked fresh to order Plenty of free parking

What a lovely spot! Really friendly atmosphere, I love the menu.. bit of the classics and a bit of something different. Lovely location, the new beer garden is family friendly and great for a sunny afternoon. Well worth a visit

Absolutely lovely warm friendly atmosphere excellent food will be going again 😋

Whit Friday takeaway burger and chips £9. That's all that needs to be said.

Superb food - superb staff - just a superb place to go out for food and drinks. Took my daughter out for lunch wonderful and will definitely be back.

Lovely food staff were brilliant

Really well done to Owners, Chef and Staff. I was honestly expecting basic pub food and service but this really was top-notch! From food, service and value for money ! It really was a great experience.

Great menu, good price lovely surroundings and staff

auaint pub, good atmosphere, waitress was so nice and the food was good. good ceasar saland and dessert was wicked

Excellent service food and beer great afternoon

Had a meal at the Three Crowns yesterday and it was delicious. I had the Lamb Hotpot and my husband had the burger. Both were very tasty and well priced. The pub looks really nice now with a good beer garden for sunny days. Staff are friendly and attentive . We will definitely be visiting again.

Loved it nice food pudding menu was a let down burgers were nice though very friendly and helpful staff would definitely recommend it

What a great place. 8 of us went there for a family celebration whilst stopping in the area. Friendly staff, really good food.A class above the usual pub grub. 8 meals all served together, good selection of beers and wines. Dog friendly. A big thank...

First visit back since before lockdown. The pub has been redecorated and looks great. The food was lovely, delicious lamb hotpot and served by friendly staff. Will be back soon.

Wonderful meal in a period country atmosphere.

Really friendly welcome for me and my very soggy dog. Good pint. Food smelled good.

We had a lovely meal with friends the food was lovely and the staff were welcoming highly recommend

Overcooked & overpriced! I only had 2 starters. Tandoori prawns & black pudding with chorizo & bacon. The prawns were rock hard & the chorizo was burnt on 1 side & the bacon was like eating a flip flop!

Turned up on Sunday without booking a table- they were busy but managed to find us a table - both had roast dinners and couldn’t fault the food or the service Will be back soon !!

Lovely little pub, friendly service and incredible food!

Good food warm welcome lovely staff, Will be calling again soon

We went yesterday (24/02/2022) for my fiancees birthday lunch and we were not disappointed. The food was exceptional, even our 13 yr old son enjoyed it (high praise indeed). The food was presented beautifully and there was no skimping on portions. The pan fried black...
