The Windmill in Oldham

Always amazing service from Paul. Lovely chap, always so helpful. Food was great and great price. Splendid all around.

£10–20 As a food reviewer, I give my experience based on hygiene,, food and customer satisfaction, I have been comeing to this venue for some time now and must say it wow what a great improvement, Luke is a very good aset to the company, I had a small issue and with a bit of experience Communication I must state the response and how he resolved was 10/10 , the customer service was the best iv seen and based on this I will continue to return, the staff here are great the food is 10/10 , hygiene 10/10 , and based on my visit I recommend you give it a try , it has a large car park area and also live football ,on all the time , i would like you to try it and give me feed back ,

Thought i would give it a second chance Shouldn't have bothered Who the hell serves breakfast without eggs Waited 20 min still non out Cold hard bacon It's awful here What should customers do shout chef to get their food No chefs checking to re stock food counter Total waste of money

Went on the off chance we could squeeze in without a booking. The guys found and cleared a table for our group of four very quickly. Ordered the carvery and it was divine. The meat was fresh and perfectly cooked. Fantastic service from the bar team, Emily was superb in her explanation of the different options. The pizza was delivered quickly and was piping hot and delicious. Sambath delivered the pizza, and some drinks that we had ordered using the App. He did so with a level of politeness rarely seen these days. Thank you. Will be back with more next time.

We came for a cavery this evening always come here as we always enjoy it today however was terrible its a real shame its gone down hill since the lady doing the carvery has gone the gravy had so many lumps it there was no mash solid Yorkshire puds such a shame as we all love coming to the windmill have done for many years I will not be returning for food again.

After not being in this place for around 3 years, (see previous reviews) decided to give it a go as I heard new landlady was sorting it out. Called in on a couple of Wednesdays for some early evening dinner. The food is top class, nothing is too much trouble. Service is A1. The quality and quantity of food is top restaurant standard, dinner mains around £13, can't beat it. Also price of drinks has reduced since last time I was in, so what's not to love? 4 stars for atmosphere as it was a quiet Wednesday with no CL football fixtures, just couples which is a huge improvement on previous clientele, little gangster wannabes,you know them, 200 quid in their pocket and think they're Escobar 😉 Give this community local your support, you won't be disappointed 👍

Awful,would not recommend here for a meal,I should have gone on trust pilot and read the reviews....

since they got a new landlady the pub has became a lot more friendly, fun and welcoming, food has gone from good to amazing new chef fresh food and good price, play area for kids with a slide, also dog friendly( kept separate from dining room) well recommended will not be disappointed, ordered salt and pepper chicken with fried rice, spring roll, curry sauce and salt and pepper chips and also got 2x kids chicken nuggets chips and beans and 1x kids cheese burger chips and beans.

Well what a change from our last visit. good food great staff. The people serving the food were well presented. Plates were hot and clean. One very little wing the veg could have been a little hotter. The meats were well cooked and the veg was well cooked. stopped coming to the windmill after Christmas due to how the place had gone very poor in food and staff. But I suggest any one that stopped going please give it a try you will be very happy with the changes.

Went with family for a meal. Staff very helpful and accomodating when we asked to change tables due to being near the door. The weather in particular that day was very windy and a huge gust was felt every time the door opened. The food was nice and plentiful including the menue choices along with the carvery. Will definitely be back again.

Took my mother here because it’s local to her & it used to be an ok pub but some of the locals you let in at a lunch time have disgusting language it was Saturday lunch with young children around just not a family pub anymore

Great value and selection for breakfast, host was very friendly and helpful and especially nice to the kids, food is good quality and HOT which makes it even more enjoyable. Can’t complain, will be back again very soon 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Imagine a “community” pub that hates the community. Dogs relegated to the vault, even after food has stopped being served. No management discretion with these blanket rules. Jukebox removed from the vault and so only music in the main room. The vault is now like a morgue. A sham of a pub. This place will be flattened in a couple of years for yet more unaffordable housing. Hidden agenda? We’ve been in 3 other pubs today (Good Friday) and dogs welcomed everywhere. I could go on but what’s the point when the brewery don’t listen.

Visited Good Friday and was a vast improvement from the last time we visited which was around Christmas time. It seems that it could be under new management. Lovely food, great value, friendly staff. Kids enjoyed it as did we, thank you.

Went in over the weekend, the day started out great but soon turned sour when we complained about the food, the young lady manager (Olivia) behind the bar was very rude and really unhelpful will not be returning again.

this was a family occasion , the food was fabulous all you could eat , had the turkey and ham + beef + great service.the chef was very friendly and nice to everybody his name was conor thanks from michael and eva fleming cork , ireland

Ian Bougen 21 reviews £30–40 Went valentine evening booked in advance to be called following day to bring booking forward as unlike there booking app they stop serving at 20.00, so rather than 20.30 we change to 19.30 on arrival we were told most of the menu was unavailable on having to both choose an alternative we were given miniscule portions and having to wait a an eternity for our sweet. Doubt that we will return. Food: 2/5 | Service: 1/5 | Atmosphere: 3/5

Only had drinks so can't comment on food but a nice friendly pub to get out of the cold.

Just had xmas dinner here, who ever is charge of the food needs to do their job properly. The Vegatables are the worse I have ever had. No proper service .cheap bit of paper cloth on table and lack of attention for cutlery. Gents toilet door inside needs a coat of paint. This place is slowly getting a really bad reputation. please do not send a standard reply.just do your job!!!

We have been going to the Windmill Dent on for three months and have no problems with the food at all. But we went on the 10/12/2023 for lunch and were disappointed. The meat was scrag ends the vegetables were cold and the plats were cold. but worst of all was the member of staff serving the food he was well past being hygienic his overall looked like he had been emptying the bins it was filthy.I am not normally a complainer but this needed to be highlighted. it will not stop us using the Windmill nothing can be perfect all the time but hygiene must come first at all times.

We came along for a meal for my birthday and we’re bowled over with how amazing the restaurant looks. The Manager always puts in a special effort to decorate at christmas. Fantastic warm welcome and great food and atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back here as it’s only a couple of minutes from my mother in laws house.

My wife and I travelled over to Tameside from Skegness for a family funeral. We entered the Windmill at 1130 to be told that breakfast service was over, even though the servery had eggs, sausage, bacon and baked beans still sitting there. We ordered coffee and said we would wait till 12 o clock for a carvery. Ay 12 o clock, we went to queue at the carvery, which still had the remnants of the breakfast service on show. At 1215, we were told by the catering staff, that we count could get our carvery, even though there was no sign of gravy, cranberry sauce etc. being the first two people in the queue, you would expect the food to be red hot! you would be wrong. Mash potatoes, tepid, carrots tepid, sprouts tepid, cauliflower tepid, roasties looked as though they been cooked earlier then warmed up, in fact, the only thing that was at the correct temperature, was the turkey that I chose. My wife and I regularly dine at the Jug and Bottle near Grimsby, which is a Stonehouse pub. We have never ever had to complain about anything, the food and the service are both excellent. As for The Windmill, we will never dine there again and I would suggest you get rid of the area manager for that pub, as the present one isnt doing there job properly.

Absolutely disgusting, we went here at 5pm and the food was cold on the carvery so was my fish, chips and peas when they arrived. The batter was pale in colour and I could see the fish through the batter, the chips were Lukewarm and the peas were cold and chewy. My husband said the Turkey was ok, the roast potatoes were like rocks and he was unable to cut through them. Everything was lukewarm and unfit for human consumption. I’m surprised the environment agency hasn’t shut this place down.

My daughters and myself wanted a early Christmas meal. We opted for the carvery with pigs n blankets. Ordered on the app with no problems. All three meats were lovely and moist plenty on your plate, all the veg was cooked perfect. Can say we enjoyed the food, The staff were very friendly Craig on the meats was a great guy he was talking to each one of us while he served. Emily who brought our drinks was very helpful. A great experience from this place. 25/11/23

Great quality food and amazing service from the manager, it made my experience so much better, had an amazing time.

Breakfast 9,30 sorry no bacon,no tomatoes, no mushrooms, delivery has not turned up , wow then you can't possibly open for breakfast full price ? Wasted morning felt sorry for the poor girl behind the bar

Gone down hill, too many child gangsters

Only called in for a drink but lovely atmosphere and very reasonably priced. Didn't eat but food smelt fabulous. Highly recommend

The food was ok. It needed flavour. It all was all bland even the gravy. A great selection of vegetables - just no flavour. It’s a shame. We would have loved to have given a good review.

We go to the windmill because we enjoy speaking with Maggie when she is free. She is a great asset to you company.

We are regulars at the Windmill and would like to say it is a pleasure to be served by Maggie. She is so friendly and takes the time to chat. She treats you like a person rather than just a customer. She has a good...

Another good meal in the windmill, all of us enjoyed what we ordered,, and great service as always from Holly,

Great food at great prices staff are pleasant very clean and tidy never issues here even on busy times

We come in this morning for breakfast. Food was nice. Gaby and Kertis we’re very friendly and give lovely service x

Friendly staff got us a table for 2 on a busy Saturday evening. We enjoyed excellent burgers, well priced drinks and then...some of the best swing jazz on the Manchester scene. Totally blown away by the Gelatos jazz band. Please come and enjoy!!

As usual Maggie is exceptional at her job and always makes you feel welcome. We would also like to thank Josh for his help when we had a small query, he sorted it out.He is doing an excellent job as supervisor

Went yesterday with my family the food was really great and Maggie the carver is very good always friendly with smiling face and pleasant manners

Just had lovely Sunday dinner here, was waited on by the lovely Amanda who was very helpful, will definitely be returning.

Went here on a Monday lunchtime. Had the carvery. Must say, it was lovely. Roast beef was very lean and tasty. Roast potatoes to die for. Simply a must.!!

No carvery, no fish, no cheese for pizza. Waited an hour for salad. Onion rings never came. Had to ask 3 different servers just to get one apple pie. Altogether took 2 hours for a main and one pudding. Never had such poor service anywhere....

Went windmill with family and was served by the lovely Maggie such a lovely woman and couldn’t do enough for us always has a smile on her face everytime we come. Food was lovely and Will definitely visit again

Food over priced, and not alot of choice , sorry but not for me

Great value food, but a lot of youngsters going in at the weekend

This is a friendly pub, part of a chain of pubs. It serves pub grub and specializes in pizza, burghers and a carvery. It's a regular meeting place for me and my friends; the staff are friendly and the food and drink prices are reasonable.

I went in on a Saturday and it was busy. I think that is always a good sign the food was amazing and the staff were absolutely brilliant I couldn't fault anything about it. I love going in the windmill.

Where do i start this pub is has been the heart of the community for many years and usually an enjoyable experiance . The last few months has seen numerous people walk out and refuse to come back in till they change this shambles ....

Turned up without a booking and was seated and served by Joe, great food and Joe was very helpful, bar staff were efficient and friendly

Came for breakfast was served by dione at the bar. Very polite and helpful. Laura checked on us and went to the bar for us as we were eating and needed another drink with was great service. Will defo return

Fantastic food with a brilliant selection of drinks! Jason and he's team are the perfect hosts.

Went I. With my family sunday . Whilst at the Carvery deck my little one became quite unsettled whilst sat with my daughter.Jade noticed this and went out of her way to grab my little boy some colouring stuff and even sat colouring with him...

Thank you to Jason and his staff. Lovely buffet yesterday for our dads funeral. Very helpful and accommodating.

The beef was re heated on a griddle pan and dry as a bone. Why? The whole meal seemed re heated and left out on a hot plate to dry up all day with a few ill and miserable looking green beans tossed onto a so called roast dinner. Aunt Bessie yorkshire thrown on too for good measure. Great job!

Lovely fish and chips, mainly pub grub OK

The girls are great at the windmill, very friendly, Maggie and Laura made us feel very welcome. Food was lovely and hot definitely will return soon good value for money. *****

Excellent food and excellent service from would highly recommend 👌 👍

Had a luvly meal there but football was on the tele bit to noisy

Years ago people rated this place and never got round to trying it til today. Omg! Wish we hadn't bothered meals came out wrong and waiter wasn't interested at all when we explained the food hadn't come with the right side orders his response was...

Was really nice and friendly, food was lovely, will definitely be going again

Brilliant service provided by the whole team. The food is great, manageress is doing a fantastic job, keep up the good work!

Just had a lovely carvery with friends at the windmill. I must say the serving lady Maggie was so happy and polite it was really nice to see a smiling face made our experience a pleasure thanks you Maggie!!

Had a meal here yesterday and the food was outstanding. The starters of the meatballs was beautiful. Will definitely be visiting again! Thank you
