The Up Steps Inn in Oldham

Long queues at bar and app not letting you order one of the worst weatherspoon out there. Staff are nice but overwhelmed last time I come here

Great little pub prices are good as well. Had a heatwave burger wife had the double American, and both were really good.

Just want to say thank you to the bar staff who made all the little Taylor Swift fans a little mock tail before they went to the concert this really was a great thing to do and made the girls night even more memorable x

Wow land of the living dead does not even come close to describing this place! Poor serving staff getting constant abuse from hoards of unemployed wasters hugging a pint and the smack rats doing the rounds of checking every ashtray for cigarette stubs along with begging . One positive was the food and staff hence the 2 stars but boy has this place got issues .

A tasty, veggie curry where you're never in a hurry. Wetherspoons weathers the storm.

A fab Weatherspoons! Very quick service, staff very friendly, good atmosphere!

Always great all though one of the staff seriously needs people management training

Without a doubt the slowest Wetherspoons I've ever been to! Most of the time your food will arrive before the drink you've ordered.

The worst breakfast ever at any Spoons

The bar service is ultra ultra slow, with the staff behind the bar channeling their best sloth impression. It's full of overly butch lesbians, people with no teeth & smackheads.. sit outside and the 1st table I chose was caked in obviously old blood.. and then you are just harassed for roll-ups/cig.. absolutely shocking pub.. thought it should be a last orders pub

Very welcoming,,,met some old local residents. Very friendly

Typical spoons of course,but service was quick,and the fried eggs on the full English on this occasion were absolutely spot on ,staff were nice too

Typical Wetherspoons. Very busy early Saturday evening

Have visited this pub regularly since it opened years ago, but on the last few visits the service at the bar has been very poor. The staff seem very discontented with their lot and customers can hear them complaining about other staff and working conditions. On each occasion recently the bar staff have let queues build up at the bar, leading to customer discontent. I got the impression that the staff were doing this deliberately to make a point. Whether this place needs more staff or just better ones I'm not sure! I certainly won't be rushing back there again. On the plus side, the food is good, as is table service.

Brunette behind the bar was shockingly rude. Snatched money and then pushed it into my hand. She can’t pull a pint either. Took five attempts to pull a lager

One of my favourite Wetherspoons pubs, boisterous with loads of atmosphere, but good natured with it. In addition, the girls serving behind the bar do a great job. In particular, today, I had the pleasure of being served by Lisa, who was lovely, with a friendly, courteous manner, and what came across as a real commitment to customer service. Impressed.

Disappointing first visit. Not particularly busy at 2.30. Ordered on App. After 10 mins asked staff member if drinks coming. She said it will be but didn't check. 5 mins later went up to bar and saw my Guinness half filled. Probably done 15 mins ago and forgotten about. Bar staff member did apologise.

Pub is OK some of the bar staff are in the wrong job. They let the place down.

Love it in there, the food is always good and the atmosphere is nice.

First time at the steps up, the staff are the most rude staff I've seen, no communication, not one smile, the food wasn't the best cold , we won't be returning,

Typical witherspoon cheap and sometimes cheerful

Who is the most arrogant guy in the blue shirt seriously the man doesn’t realise I pay his wages n the little girl who spends more time on makeup than her customers what an absolute joke n disgusting behaviour from staff

just popped in for a cheap pint

can’t lie love a cheeky spoons yum food but the staff here are HORRIBLE got better treatment off my secondary bullies than the snappy staff at this place

Sadly the Upsteps are only interested in taking orders for meals as when you try to find somewhere to sit it's a disgrace as tables need clearing even after 30 mins when I asked someone to clear them

Barred for no reason said I'd been filming which is untrue. Staff very rude and would not show me alledge video footage. Left feeling embarrassed in front of others. Nice way to treat autistic people.

Called in for breakfast the food was great and great value .

Poor service and sweet never came on time.

Very poor service doors pushed open because staff member was supposed to be hot on a cold night some staff quite rude not bothered about customer service at all

It's a spoons. What more can I say. Its got people drinking lager for breakfast and smells like fry ups.

In the past I have had some bad experiences in this pub but today was excellent Bar staff was very nice and very fast and trying there hardest to clear the bar Which was very busy I ordered some food for me and my mum one small fish-and-chips with a pint of Guinness and regular fish-and-chips with a can of pop for £13.66 This was in the afternoon of special 2 till 5 The food was very nice and for the money it was excellent value, call in today for Traditional breakfast food was on job and a £3.14 with free ice cold water wow excellent value for money and staff on job and very fast and friendly

Not enough bar staff for a busy bank holiday.

This pub used to be a great place to have a drink and some nice food but it's sadly lost all it's atmosphere.you get people swearing fighting and its cramped you can hardly move some days

Ya can't go wrong with the breakfast value and taisty

Really rude and insulting bar staff. Ignored for ages and many people got served before us (clearly bar guy's mates) and when we finally got served I said to the bar guy that people were served before us when we had been there ages before them, he then accused me of lying! (I mentioned this when finally served not before). Outraged! I'm! extremely polite but had to point this out and what would I gain from lying after the event?! I also noticed he and a bar girl were rude to quite a lot of customers. They might well be under stress and deal with many rude customers but their customer service was abysmal! And they shouldn't tar everyone the same brush. Disgusting customer service! If you like service served with absolute arrogance then this is your pub!

Great place friendly and helpful staff great atmosphere and service I have been a few times had some food it was good could put a bit of side salad 🥗 with meal would have made it better 😋 but I will be going again as had a nice time 🍻🍷🍸🍹🍔🥓🍟

I love fancy dining and good food but this spoons has so much character you just can't go wrong. Cheap, cheerful & entertaining.

Spoons food as you expect. Service is slow then when empty.

Call in every couple of weeks always very busy.

Food was cold Service was rubbish Very difficult to get served at the Barr Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

Went in at 8.30pm and straight to the bar to order a round. 6 or 7 people waiting and one very young girl serving. After 10 minutes gave up and we went to the Fox & Pine (small pub, absolutely packed but with them having 4 experienced bar staff we were served straight away).

Good local, with good selection of beers. Didn't eat, but usual Spoons menu. Friendly locals

Traditionally service is S L O W here. Same since day one.

Family friendly, Good food and staff, reasonably priced food and drink.

Food tasted disgusting.. tasted like the farm yard the meat came from

Service a bit slow but worth the wait

Another great Spoons, the app has the whole menu and drinks too. Staff friendly and polite, as always cheap booze and good food. 😊 (16-03-24) It's been six years since last here. Just as before, still great value, good food, and friendly staff.

Busy, very poplular. Good service, quick. Good Food. Re fillable hot drinks, if the machine s are working.

Went early morning for breakfast ordered the large breakfast food was piping hot really nice excellent service from staff

Been coming in up steps for about 20 years, love the staff and the locals, good beer and good food, always a great night. 👍

Very busy but staff we're on the ball spent about half an hour then left just to give someone a table

Top class staff serve a great pint of Phoenix Arizona Pale Ale- there’s even a manager’s special ale today at the knock down price of 99p! Smaller than your usual Spoons but there’s additional seating upstairs where you can find the toilets.

My husband and myself go in 3 or 4 times a week management and staff are always very helpful and friendly towards us They are very family oriented I would highly recommend the upsteps Inn

It's really gone down hillin the up steps at the bottom of lord street Oldham the coffee and breakfast is bad bacon is hard and breakfast is cold like the coffee o will not be coming back the staff need to where gloves when serving food

I visit here most days and have to say its the best around! They have brilliant staff :) great value for drinks and food - and I love the quiz night on a Tuesday! Fantastic staff and management thanks guys

Very affordable prices, for drinks and food, this place have not inflatted the prices and care about their customers.

Spoons is spoons simple, cheap sometimes cheerful, staff very clicky.

As I always say whenever I go any weatherspoons how can you not love £2 or £3 a pint beers much cheaper than anywhere else. Weatherspoons you are the gift that keeps on giving

Went with a friend for coffees.always enjoy the free refills

Curry was quite good surprisingly

2nd review 11 months later decided to try this pub again, big mistake, place is still filthy, to say the bar staff are rude is an understatement, how my food didn't end up in my lap is a miracle our server literally threw it at us, again overall terrible service , Avoid at all cost 1st review Under staffed, tables heaving with crockery of every description, absolutely filthy, small kids running around like lunatics, no parental control whatsoever, overall not a good experience wont be returning any time soon thank you very much !!!

Management needs to have a visit to the Stockport bar and see how a good pub is run. The oldham pub.... Appalling service Filthy tables Order on the app and drinks don't arrive!

Usual Weatherspoons experience, busy middle of the day with pensioners and people who perhaps should be at work. But found a table, ordered on the app, drinks arrived quickly, followed 10 minutes later by our food. Food was OK, not amazing but worth the money, Pepsi Max and BBQ Chicken breast for less than a tenner, can't go wrong!

This is a great pub to chat nonsense and get to know the real characters of Oldham. It is also not bad for Café at £1.20. Good choice of food & drink at reasonable prices.

Very good prices, 5 of us did a small pub crawl around Oldham. Prices varied from £22 to £13 Weatherspoon's being the cheapest

Very similar to all wetherspoons, jolly and busy, staff are nice and friendly, food is good and the service is good sometimes I find that they could do with extra staff .

Another good pub despite being Witherspoons

Depends when you gou in what service you get The staff are very good

Nice cheap drinks, good atmosphere

Choose to go home and have a drink it was dead

Staff very friendly. Pub was really busy drinks took quite a while to come. Food came quick though and was good

When 4 of the 6 handpumps are OFF and the totally disinterested staff couldn't give a flying anything about putting any back on "cos they "weren't allowed in the cellar". And when asked "so where's the duty manager?" just look at each other, shrug, and say "dunno."

Good pub . Reasonable prices. Got stoned .

Never felt more unwelcome in anywhere tham here. Rude manager

Nice pint and a good breakfast 😋

Always busy quick service and lovely locals

Just called in to have a quick pint

Hour wait for food. Drinks took 25 minutes. Food wasn’t up-to even wetherspoons standard. It was extremely busy but I think the problem is beyond just that. I wouldn’t return here.

Called in today for a quick drink and ice cream for the kids.. only had 2 staff on the bar with a packed pub.. didn’t receive drinks after 45 minutes so asked for a refund.. friend also asked for a refund at the bar and was screamed at by male bartender very unprofessional and appalling behavior .. after an hour waiting the manager finally refunded us and was lovely.

Enjoyed a nice evening Nice food Friendly staff Had a laugh with the no fuss quiz

Cheap, but takes ages to get served a drink.

A dark pub but one which always has friendly staff with decent food.

Absolute top quality, Best pub in Oldham

You get a better class of plonker in weather spoons .

Well I decided to give this weatherspoons another go as every time I've been here it's been poor....so I wasn't surprised that our food order took 25 minutes to come bare in mind it is 9.45 am place was not at all to capacity, and compared to Middleton and Ashton where the staff the service and experience is so much more what you would expect staff happy to help and management like wise. But oldham is really poor avoid if you want food and friendly staff as this is none existent here. The steak shown was supposed to be well done and given the time it took from ordering to the table you think they could not mess this one up.......how wrong can someone be. Avoid this place.

Decent weatherspoons and does what it says on the tin. Good food, cheap drinks and cosy atmosphere. Also recently started a pub quiz which was very enjoyable and offered great prizes. Only thing is it's sometimes slow to get served and could do with more bar staff.

Quick serving and reasonable prices, love a refillable drink 😊

It's an ok Wetherspoons but some of the staff are bloody rude and seriously need to learn a thing or two about customer service and speaking to customers in a polite, professional manner.

Great food served quickly, staff efficient and courteous friendly lot, been here several times will return

Lovely breakfast before cinema visit

Ordered 2 traditional breakfasts, they had forgotten about the order! Then when I asked they came out with the breakfast that looked like it had been thrown on the plate. One of the breakfast was missing a sausage, we where told I hadn't told her in time! Not acceptable as there was no apology and never got the sausage!!

Ordered 2 traditional breakfasts, they forgot about us! So it was a quick whatever they had left at 11.55am ! One missing a sausage! When I mentioned it I was told next time let me know!!! Not acceptable....we had already told them!!!

Veggie burger came , cold in the middle, the barman sorted it. Cheap food and drinks, you get what you pay for. Friendly staff and when the food came back, it was nice.

the food is barely nice, all cooked from previous days. its all dry. theres flies everywhere.

Not the best, very small portions, left hungry and got something else aswel but cheap so can't complain really

First of all it was 10 am in the morning four women drinking with a young baby in a high chair screening non of them with food secondly My breakfast was stone cold and replaced with a warm one that I left. Oldham is the worst one I have ever been in for cleanliness The focus is more on the drunks than the people wanting a breakfast. We spend a lot of time at the elk in Poulton witch is a world apart from upsteps in Oldham sorry but very disappointing to your brand 😔

Bacon obviously comes in precooked however they had not even bothered to cook it off on the grill for more than 10 seconds, the eggs had a texture of my nans shoe, the hash browns make excellent Frisbees waited border line half hour for 2 breakfasts for it to come in the state it does, bar staff front of house amazing just ashame kitchen let them down. The atmosphere of the pub well to put it simple it's certainly something different it's like a different planet full of oldham characters

Waited nearly 45 minutes for two breakfasts and the waitress who brought the drinks was very rude, would it kill them to crack a smile instead of being miserable

It's good value for money , food isn't the best

It used to be a great pub the manager and staff were lovely. God knows what happened but its just dreadfull now. The manager is just awful and the staff very rude and not at all helpfull I was in a few weeks ago this rude girl came and ordered me to turn my telephone down I was sat in the back she said their had been a complaint about the noise of my phone from somebody sat in the front I had to ask her 3 times what she was saying because the table behind had 6 women screaming and shouting. I said how can anybody here a phone over this noise your stood next to me I couldn't hear you. She said I told you turn your phone down if you dont turn it down I will report you to the manager. I said it has no volume my volume is switched off I put it to her ear. She looked at my friend said it's his she then very nasty shouted to him turn your fin phone down people at the front are complaining. Hear her he came out of the booth stood next to her asked her to repeat what she had said she did with the cuss word included. He said don't swear at me no one can hear anything with them 6 women my volume is off she tutted walked off. She reported my friend for arguing the manager said he was barred he didn't argue he told her his volume was off and about the noise of the 6 women. Lots of people have stopped going in now because of the manager and staff. If you complain about the staff you get barred I know 4 people this has happened to.
