Wickentree Restaurant at Housing Units in Oldham

I called in for breakfast I was on my own and was totally spoiled by the lovely staff. Thank you to Rachel and her team. Also thank you to Jodi for her lovely welcome x I then went downstairs to browse bought some cards and gorgeous scarf. The lady at the till wrapped it all in tissue put it in a delightful bag! The presentation was just lovely. Like I said I felt I was so spoiled made to feel special thank you x

I ordered classic fish and chips. Looked fine when it arrived. But when I tasted it, it was absolutely terrible. The chips were so soggy and oily. It was my first time at wickertree and I'm so disappointed and it was so expensive so expected it to be muchbetter. I just don't want other people to be under any illusions the food is very poor and very expensive. Will NEVER eat here again.

Needs a sign saying 'no waitress service!' Very mixed food reports - Sunday Roast fine, with generous children's portion. Curry good, but plate was dirty. Most disappointing was Cheese and Onion Pie: flaky pastry might be OK south of Watford Gap, but this just disintegrated into the filling making it quite unpleasant. Not much atmosphere. Nice sofas though...

My wife and myself came today sunday the 18th of Feb and where treated to an amazing complementary meal after we had a disappointing meal last time we came Rachel Ramsden the manager was wonderful with us ,nothing was to much trouble and the food was delicious we have always enjoyed HU and are in the process of buying a new settee and the Wicken tree has always been a pleasure to dine there ,thank you to Rachel and all the staff for a lovely dining experience Kind regards Dave &Bev On table 1

Average quality food but presented well. The burgers reminded me of Westlers Hamburgers,normally used on fairgrounds.Chips were cold and greasy.

I have eaten here many times in the past but I have noticed standards steadily going downhill. My daughter and myself had the full English which has diminished in size considerably. We had two overcooked rashers of bacon. Two very skinny sausages a tiny portion of beans and 1 egg. The hash brown was not homemade but the type you’d get at the supermarket freezer section. The breakfasts here used to be superb but portion sizes have decreased so much and not nicely prepared. The cappachino was lukewarm and the americano served with cold milk. We will not be giving the restaurant any future business unfortunately.

Had Lunch with my friend at the Wicken tree Restaurant in Housing Units 14/11/2023, well if you can call it lunch... We ordered the warm chicken wrap each & 1 side order of chips to share which consisted of about twelve chips. The wrap was really poor in size, 1 wrap cut in half, the chicken was cold, when we spoke to the waitress she said it was because it had salad on it that's why it was cold. The chips had been put on one of the plates with the wrap on rather than on a separate plate/dish.. We also had capaccino drinks which because of the 30 minute wait for food were cold by the time our so called meals arrived... The price was £10.50 for the wraps & £1.95 a portion of chips, extortionate for what we got... Needless to say myself & my friend will never eat there again.

Visited here a couple of months ago with my daughter. We decided on afternoon tea, one being GF for myself. At £26.99 pp these where very small but mine was shocking! No wrap, no Quiche no stuffing where was my GF options? I did complain at the time and demanded a refund on my meal. I really wasn't going to put a review on only to see they are still advertising the same menu. You should be ashamed. This is wrong!!

On visiting the store to make some purchases, myself and my Daughter, decided to have some lunch, my Daughter chose soup, which was tomato with vegetables, I chose HOT chicken and bacon wrap, when food arrived soup was Luke warm, HOT chicken wrap was cold, I returned to the counter and explained on menu it says it’s HOT, ok no problem it’s returned to my table HOT. On leaving the restaurant the restaurant Manageress is passing, I thought it might be helpful to give her some feedback, about our experience today, firstly I told her the soup was like some cheap tinned soup that was Luke warm, her response, was that two other people had just told her how lovely it was and she liked it, well that must be ok then.So we moved on to discuss the HOT COLD chicken wrap, I told her it was served COLD, yet on the menu it says it’s served HOT, her response was it will of been HOT, but the lettuce and Cesar sauce will of brought the temperature down to make it cooler, no.it wasn’t cooler, the chicken was like it had had been in the fridge, her response was quite worrying when I think about it, we don’t keep chicken in the fridge. Could you please tell me how you store your chicken prior to serving it in your response. Not a pleasant experience on this occasion and a very condescending response

Pleasant morning shopping in the store and signed up for loyalty card First time visit to the restaurant and looking forward to it, unfortunately downhill after that, Sticky table and waitress cleaned but still not good. Coffee tepid and my wife and I shared the breakfast brunch board, 2 plates and 2 knives and forks. The 2nd plate under the first had never been washed at all and covered in food, similarly a fork was dirty returned to check out desk and items replaced. Returned to table only to find the other fork had baked on food on it, returned to desk and replaced. At no time was an apology offered Food as per coffee was tepid and avocado on toast had a rather unusual flavour. Could have complained about the experience but as I say not once was an apology offered by any staff member and felt any further complaint would have been dismissed Very poor experience as we had heard and read many rave reviews, however a couple on the next table who were regulars said that in the past few weeks they had noticed the standards and the quality had slipped. Happy to say we will be returning to the store but not to the restaurant D T

Ordered 2 Roast Turkey sandwiches Which didn’t arrive so after 45 minutes of waiting we asked for a refund and left. No idea what was going on today, and reading some of the reviews we aren’t the only one’s dissatisfied. The restaurant wasn’t full by any means, the waitresses didn’t know if they were coming or going taking orders to the wrong tables walking around with food looking who’s order it was. Saw other customers returning their food. This is Housing units not a greasy spoon cafe!! I expected more and so do a lot of others. Yet the complaints aren’t being taken seriously. Reading other reviews they get a cut and paste response. I fully expect the same. It could be a really nice, well run restaurant but lots of improvements needed here. Starting with the manager listening to the poor reviews.

The wife and myself went there for lunch today, all in all ,a very nice lunch, I had fish and chips , Very nice ,but very small portion,just come back from the south coast , portions twice the size down there !

Visited here at the weekend and will be the last, we have been here at least 3 times before, and neither visit has been great, one occasion my elderly mother was given brown sauce instead of strawberry jam for her scones in which from the pot was then to ruin her scone, they are very busy and are probably rushing. My husband ordered cheese on toast, and I had a sandwich with supposed large chips to share. The chips arrived, which were tiny in a metal chip basket , so has you know you are not getting a large portion into one of them, so what the small looks like god knows 6 chips I wonder? because there was around 10 when we counted in the large, the chips I have never seen anything more disgusting for a chip they were swimming in grease even dripping onto the plate, they were sent back, what chef / cook would send that out from the kitchen and think that they look nice and the customer would enjoy them?the next lot was only a little bit better not great, by this point we couldn't be bothered, the sandwich and cheese on toast were nice, Along with this my husband had a bottle of lager and I had a processco, it was very expensive for what we had £45 ! For absolutely nothing special. There are much better places to spend our money.

Terrible experience. Waited an hour for food. We were not warned that there was going to be a long wait, or else we would not have stayed. The food came and it was very poor. Sunday roasts were Luke warm. Kids meals were really poor (portions tiny). My sons cheeseburger was dry and tasteless. My children were still hungry when they got home. I raised my complaint with the supervisor and she had zero interest in rectifying the situation. I will not be visiting again. Totally overpriced.

Bought house stuff from here before, called in to look at lights, could not find any (a lot of tacky shiny chrome stuff from China at big money) so went into their Wickentree cafe for some lunch, wish we hadnt bothered. The prices were ridiculous for what was served. "Mango and Brie Crispy Bites served with sweet chilli sauce £5.95..." This was two tiny out of the freezer filo bites deep fried with a thimble of sauce! "Homemade Soup of the Day £6.95..." Decent soup but tiny 1/2 size bowl with a small piece of bread.. "Hot Chicken and Bacon Caesar Wrap with hot chicken fillet, dry cured bacon, cos lettuce, parmesan cheese and caesar dressing £10.50.." Gosh, sounds great however reality was way diffrent! Not hot, no cheese and about 1/2 the size of a wrap you get for lunch from Tesco! "Large Chips £4.25" These were a joke, a small shaker of frozen fries, we questioned the portion, they said it was the large, we told them it was ridiculous and sent it back for a credit. The pleasant person serving agreed and said it is crazy, poor staff having to suffer needless customer issues. We dont mind paying the prices provided its decent value and quality but not when they are taking the mick. No wonder the owners cut about in Porsches and Bentleys with multi-million pound homes. Fair play if they gave decent value but shame on em' for ripping normal folk off! AVOID Stick to John Lewis...

Its always nice to see something new on the menu. We both ordered the HU hash. Sauted potatoes, peppers, onions, herbs topped with a poached egg. Very tasty and a nice change from the usual breakfast, our only observation was that it was to greasy...

Piano is the only positive to this place. Ordered little bites- 3 for £15. It took 45 minutes to come, despite there only being around 5 other tables seated. Be warned, you need 3 per person. 3 tiny bland, unseasoned chicken skewers advertised as “bbq...

Disappointed with cake and coffee. Scone not fresh. The cost is extortionate for what it is and the quality. We’ve been going for years and we feel that HU have become complacent. Won’t be using the cafe anymore.

We originally went with the intention of having afternoon tea. However when we looked at the menu we saw new additions to the menu. We had the hot skillet which was very filling but good. The fish and chips as always was great and the...

Choose Tea for 2 and a Sandwich each. The Tea had a metallic after taste and was awful. The sandwiches had not arrived 25 minutes after the order had been placed, i had to go and ask where they were?when they did arrive the quality...

We had a nice lunch here. We all had the slow bbq brisket sandwiches which were lovely. Could have done with a bit more meat but the gravy was excellent

Ordered two gentlemen’s afternoon teas but asked for one to come with only ham sandwiches and children’s deserts which came perfect but then the second came the same . Quickly rectified and brought the normal gentleman’s high tea out just missing the tarta sauce and...

Some of staff were absolutely brilliant, really helpful and friendly. The food was nice, well presented and tasty. The portions though were very scant - tiny pot of chips with the sandwiches were disappointing and the prawn one would have been lovely with a good...

Had an item from the brunch menu which was a starter sized portion , left the cafe still feeling very hungry, for £13.50 would expect to at least feel partly satisfied.

Extremely expensive food, not a lot of variety on the menu, my husband sea food special at £16 was very sparse for the money, I had a chicken and bacon sandwich which was ok but again £11 ridiculous, ordered chips again £4.50 come on it’s...

Had a lunch time meal here. It is a long time since I have been here. The food was lovely and not as expensive as I thought. The service very good and nice to see how the other half live!

I went with a friend for lunch, a varied menu but I know things have gone up but £10.50 for a sandwich is over the top ,and a chicken baguette special with a jug of gravy? Why? £12 which we were served by mistake,it looked...

Visited today for some breakfast. I ordered two bacon, sausage and egg sandwiches a coffee and fresh orange. Food was excellent. Staff were also very polite. The price was very expensive, £28.95 !!!! I’m not sure if it was a mistake, £6.95 for a bacon...

Terrible service long queues to order missing ingredients so had to alter order ,long wait for food ,drinks eventually turned up 30 minutes after food after I complained wine was very warm and eventually we even got cutlery to eat our food ,not a cheap...

I don’t usually complain in less things are really really bad. This was shocking. Booked a table for mother day on Sunday. Ordered food at 13-40. Had to go and ask where it was at 14-30. Things did arrive shortly after but they had clearly...

We had lunch here with 2 children. My husband ordered the hot steak sandwich, which he sent back due to the lack of steak! The bun on the chicken burger children’s meal was dry and the chips must be the cheapest frozen chips available they...

We recently enjoyed a fantastic family meal in the private dining room. The food was delicious and the Wickentree catered well for 2 diners with allergies. Our party ordered a variety of dishes including fish cakes, afternoon teas and roast dinners and the portions were...

On Tuesday 31st August I had my retirement party/ lunch with 24 other guests at The Wickentree Restaurant. We all had the most fabulous afternoon. A huge thank you must go to Daryl and his team who were outstanding with their service to us ....

I decided to come here for breakfast assuming that the menu would by now be offering the full choice as pre COVID. I was very surprised to find it was still extremely limited. I cannot understand why items such as omelettes, highland scramble and eggs...

I really enjoyed the bacon, poached egg and avocado. It was substantial and extremely tasty. It was lovely to have it sitting on a comfy couch with a quality decaff.

Booked for afternoon tea today to celebrate with family before my daughter gets married next weekend. There were 6 of us and we all had the gentlemens afternoon tea. It was lovely and we couldn't fault a thing. The staff were amazing and helpful, nothing...

The restaurant itself is lovely and its delightful to have the first class cutlery etc. But the prices are nothing short of extortion. I was charged £9.95 for a chicken, lettuce and tomato sandwich. The bread was nothing special and what they put on it...

In spite of Covid, this restaurant was very busy today. We feel safe there as 100% protection is in place. Once again we enjoyed the delicious food served by pleasant staff.

Nice restaurant in Housing units for a afternoon tea and cake. Good service and tasty options to choose from. Will be back again.

Could not believe the extortionate prices. Taking the mick.Staff very pleasant and Covid restrictions well dealt with but as stated overpriced for food that was nothing special. Marks and Spencers beat Wickentree hands down

A little disappointed today. I had fish and chips, the chips was just about cooked looked very undercooked and hard in some places. My niece had the Sunday dinner balm and the gravy was extremely salty clearly not been tasted by the chef. I felt...

Called In today for coffee and breakfast. Janine made me so welcome and explained that were some changes we all had to adhere too as it was only 2 days since Boris changed the rules once again. However nothing was too much trouble. Everywhere was...

We had afternoon tea £21.95 It was lovely but only got two finger sandwiches which we thought was a bit stingy! Had to pay by card no option for cash payments! I do think it’s overpriced and quite pretentious. However you do get unlimited coffee...

Been here a few times in the past. Decided to got today for some lunch after browsing the shop. Ordered steak sandwich, fish & chips, and 2 drinks. The steak sandwich was awful it had clearly been sitting on the side for awhile. There was...

Had the salmon teriyaki, and it was really fresh and tasty. You can tell the staff are going to great lengths to accommodate and keep you safe, they’re very friendly and approachable. Shout out to Jodie, Daniella and Sue, they cannot do enough for you....

Breakfast menus poor could have bread or bread bacon/sausage. Staff have these disgusting gloves on which unhygienic. In all day touch everything cleaning serving your food hair. But never changed. They are more likely to wash hands or alcohol gel hands by not wearing them....

Been a few times before, not very often but the menu has changed since last time I visited. Usually have the burger but its changed to a vegan burger with no option for a normal burger. . . . I do like the place, but...

100% to this restaurant during Covid. Felt completely safe being there. So much thought has gone into making sure everyone eating there is protected. The food was good too.

Loved every minute. Food worth waiting for. Katie especially helpful. Thank you everyone. Definitely come back soon

lovely morning coffee, lovely young lady recieved us and explained processes really distancing. Comfy seating, very clean and spaced out. Lovely choice of cakes and pastry even for my gluten free partner. Tempting menu so will pop back for lunch . Thoroughly enjoyed it and...

Lovely afternoon tea out to celebrate my mums 60th birthday. Service was fab great afternoon would definitely recommend.

I visited the Wickentree Restaurant today with my partner, it has been very difficult for me to get my partner out to a restaurant because he has underline health issues and is very cautious where he goes. When we arrived we was greeted by a...

the food is always very nice here. the cakes used to be delicious. however they appear to have changed supplier, as cakes (fruit tarts and Manchester Tart etc) are now tasteless and generic.

We've been here and eaten without problems on many an occasion, but not this time. Table booked for 5 family members, 3 of which were celebrating birthdays. " had fish and chips, 2 had the chicken dinner, and my wife had the fishcake. Drinks and...

I had a most enjoyable afternoon tea today - special as always - finishing off my '60th' Birthday celebrations!!

There was 8 of us to eat... we all throughly enjoyed the food. The lady on the till helped with the 8 orders and the ladies bringing the food couldn’t do enough for us. It was delicious AND BIG!!

Visited today as a treat for my Mother in law’s birthday but I have to say I was disappointed with the afternoon tea. We have visited previously (admittedly a couple of years ago now) and always remembered it as being one of the best we’ve...

Loverly breakfast of scrambled eggs and salmon Staff very friendly Chairs a little worn and needs reupholstering

Been here a few times, and the food quality was always great, especially the ckaes- the Vanilla Slices used to be great- but now, very "meh", I had cheesecake and it looked great, but, it was very gelatinous and not very cheesecake-like- it was more...

Myself and sister visited housing units yesterday, the staff are always fab and so helpful, well worth a visit and will return. Never come away withput making a purchase.

Quite a while since we've been here and very disappointed. To say Housing Units portrays itself as a premier establishment selling top quality products, the restaurant is certainly a week link. The setting itself is nice, but although the staff are polite, they are lacking...

While our Son & Daughter-in-law had a holiday a few weeks ago my wife & I took care of their dogs, so he invited us for a meal at this great restaurant as a thank you. We were not disappointed. A friendly greeting from staff...

With friends . One had afternoon tea which looked lovely but she said was tasteless and scone dry . Two of us had Welsh rabbit , nice flavour however all portion size and very small .

Visited today for my birthday lunch with my husband.Lovely looking restaurant with pleasant staff. Such a shame the food was terrible. Fish &chips swimming in grease. Steak & onion sandwich dripping with fat. spoilt birthday lunch.

Visited the Restaurant for Breakfast with friends nice venue. However food was awful very fatty Bacon and underdone Sausages so it was very dissapointing. We had limited time so didn't complain. If I visit again would choose something else.

I took my friends for Sunday lunch was overpriced and very small portions service was Aweful tried to complain was told managers were busy .Too busy chatting with his own family on another table .should have gone to the cafe further up the road 😡

We went there to buy a standard lamps and decided to have a snack there. The queues for the self service were long...there was only one assistant at the till! However they did have decaffeinated tea and coffee! I had a toasted club sandwich and...

We visit this restaurant quite often and are never disappointed. The food and service is class. All ingredients are fresh, cooked professionally and served excellently.

This place has never been particularly good value but the menu was varied and quality good. Alas, our last few visits have been disappointing with the menu now having less choice, whilst the quality of the food has gone down. At the same time the...

The afternoon tea experienced on Sunday 15th September was fantastic Everything was delightfully presented and served The service was excellent and discreet My partner in crime on this trip declared the chips the best ever tasted and they were outstanding

Poor food, bad service, employees complaining in the kitchen wanting to leave for the day which didn't make you feel welcome. Apparently if you order from the childrens menu for your children the ice cream is served in a china cup with spoon not the...

The menu states ‘Famous fish and chips, a large fresh haddock with double cooked chips’. A recent review highlighted the poor fish and chips and the Manager’s response was ‘on that occasion we got it wrong’, we’ll guess what, you got it wrong again! £13.50...

Came today to fill my body with fuel as doing a midnight walk for prevent breast cancer up Snowdonia at midnight Food lovely so much on my platter Staff nice Would recommend Manhattan platter

Very disappointing. I ordered Highland Scramble - scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on artisan bread. The first time the egg was cold and member of staff agreed to change it. The second time the egg was runny - in other words it had not been...

Whilst I found the food to be very good I found that it was vastly overpriced. The cup of tea was also the same

Always lovely. It was very busy. The have a new app you can download and I ask a young member of staff about inputting my current HU membership card info. She said she would come back with info. This never happened. I then sent an...

Although waitresses bring your food to table it's frustrating to have to go up to the counter and pay for each course. For example, order and pay for starter and main course. If you then want a dessert you're back again and if you want...

I took my bridesmaids yesterday and it was great, Daryl and the staff couldn’t do enough for us and the room was perfect, really made the day thank you xx

We celebrated my mother in laws 70th in the private dining room. It's exquisite, a really brilliant addition to what was already a great restaurant. We had the afternoon tea and it's lovely. There is a ladies and a gentleman version, this has mini fish and chips and a pork pie, the ladies is more traditional. There is plenty of food, and it's beautifully presented. The service was brilliant, being in a private room, it's easy to be forgotten but we weren't, were offered drinks several times and nothing was too much trouble. My son had the kids afternoon tea but doesn't like ice cream, marshmallows or chocolate milk, the replacements were perfect.

Wickentree Restaurant at Housing Units has become our 'go to' for meeting up with friends, work colleagues and family. When family from 'down south' and the Caribbean come to stay in Manchester their special request is to have lunch at HU. Barbara and Elaine are amongst two of the best ambassadors for service and welcome at the Wictkentree Restaurant - they are lovely, offering exemplary customer service that makes the dining experience so special!

We love this place , everything is perfect from the greeting as you enter the restaurant to the ambience of the space and the beautiful food. All the staff are brilliant but I have to say our favourite is Barbara , what a lovely lady.

We have attended a family baby shower in the private dining room at the Wickentree today and all I can say is wow. From my initial conversation with one of the managers Daryl to the end of our stay it was absolutely perfect. The staff could not have been more accommodating, nothing was too much trouble and they fulfilled all my requests and more. The food was excellent, service and professionalism first rate, the room is gorgeous and I would highly highly recommend it to anyone who wants to celebrate a special occasion. We pre-ordered our food and it arrived early and everybody commented on how much they enjoyed their food and we covered a wide spectrum with our order, from children's fish and chips, sandwiches and afternoon tea, all were excellent. The management of Housing Units should be proud of what they have created here and the staff in the restaurant, we will return.

Dont visit if you have an Allergy as they will mock you and Have a nick name for you next time you call . Jodie writes Nicknames for people on your order when she goes in the Back. she is Backed up by the management as they are all Drinking Buddies and All laugh together .If they dont like you they will have a name for you

I visited today had small plates really enjoyed them and a glass of wine I had warm balls hallumi fry’s Just enough

We've been eating here for a long time, spending hours in the shop and treating ourselves each time. It has an interesting and varied menu which is a little more expensive than other similar establishments. Their fish and chips used to be to rave over and they still lay claim for their 'famous fish and chips' Unfortunately, they fame is going to be for the wrong reasons as the last one I had was swimming in grease and more thick batter than fish. When I pointed it out to a member of staff she promised to tell the chef......

Visited with my daughter and grandaughters for Champagne Afternoon Tea.Different type sandwiches from last visit. I've got to say I prefer the finger sandwiches,I also felt that there wasn't as much selection in the cakes. Quite small portions from previous visits.
