The best restaurants in Saddleworth South Oldham North West

It was our first visit, for my birthday. Set menu great value, the dishes were delicious and beautifully presented. I'm coeliac, very happy with my choices plus the bread that came with it. Enjoyed the wines and choices of ales for hubby (the gf beer option was Peroni so gave that a miss). Nice friendly ambience created by staff and fellow diners. The 184 bus is very handy for the inn, we came over the hills from Marsden and didn't want to drive.

The food here isn’t good. The mixed platters are flavourless, they use tinned mushrooms in many dishes, which taste like rubber, and I can’t quite put my finger on it, but the meat doesn’t taste fresh at all. These guys definitely need a new chef ASAP. I won’t be returning. Additionally, the prices are extortionate for the portion size and quality. I don’t mind paying more if the quality is there, but it just isn’t.

Update Feb 28 2025. Family meal for 8. Great service, cleared table efficiently. Chilli great, Burger good. All food great value. Has really improved since last visit. Will go again. Kids puds out of this world. Update 21 Sep 24: Kebab with Maple sauce great! Scampi OK but basic. Service still good. STEAK WAS VERY VERY POOR. THINK WILL JUST GIVE STEAKS A MISS HERE. Previous: Service a little haphazard but happy enough staff. Food cheap and cheerful. Good drinks offers. Outside area allows Sun and drinks to combine. Large enough to cope with high demand but would hope more staff on hand. Better than the previous 2 for 1 offers. Meat and Pizza done well and "muffin pizza bite starters" a revelation.

Went with family and granddaughter for lunch. We chose to order for our granddaughter first and for us to eat after. Given the lack of taste, ingredients of her lunch we decided to not order for the adults. If you can’t get a child’s cheese sandwich and fries right there’s no hope for the rest! The sandwich was presented with stale bread, large bread slices, uncut and a few crisp. It certainly didn’t look appetising and it didn’t taste it either. Our coffees and hot chocolates were average too. I like to support local businesses but Abaco you really need to improve. There is lots of competition in Uppermill

We come in every couple of weeks or so for either a family meal or for a quick bite on a Friday evening and often have the steak or the cheese pie. The staff are super helpful, the food is always spot on and the chef always cooks my steak to perfection. There’s a couple of staff who really stand out, they are always do something whether it’s preparing more cutlery boxes, cleaning tables or sorting condiments. They are a credit to the establishment and thoroughly deserve their tips.

Had been walking around Dovestones and went for lunch at The Clarence. Apparently under new ownership. We opted for fish chips and peas from the daytime menu. It was absolutely spot on! The fish was pure white and the batter crisp. All freshly cooked to order. I don't think it could be "bettered". This was followed by strawberry cheesecake for me and lemon tart for my wife. Both ten out of ten. All for 26 quid. Nice one! To the New Owner... "I'll be back" :)

Went to the Muse for a work's party. The food was really good, and the service was quick, considering it was Mad Friday. I found the bathroom tiling to be a herringbone effect with 4mm black grout (7/10). It happened to be a Pride party, which was quite entertaining.

Este era el restaurante favorito de mi mamá y estoy muy feliz de decir que tiene muy buen gusto en los restaurantes. Fue nuestra primera visita y viendo que era San Valentín reservé con mucha antelación, lo que parecía ser una buena idea, ya que se puso muy ocupado, muy rápido. Pedimos nuestros entrantes y platos principales y se entregaron a los pocos minutos de ordenar y terminar y luego también pedimos postres a pesar de que nuestros estómagos ya se sienten llenos. La comida era excelente, el servicio era rápido y cortés, los precios son buenos y hay aparcamiento decente proporcionado si usted está conduciendo aquí. Los cócteles están disponibles, así como las cervezas, vinos y licores habituales y sin duda puedo recomendar la cerveza blanca belga Blue Moon. Los baños están limpios, hay una gran zona de fumadores / espacio de patio fuera junto al río Tame y es un lugar tan agradable para sentarse y relajarse. Definitivamente volveremos.

Really slow service, it took twenty minutes to get coffee and cake. Staff weren’t attentive, they all seemed like they were on a go slow. Plenty staff, no service.

We are always on the lookout for nice dog-friendly places to enjoy a coffee and a bite to eat, so we were intrigued to try the dog menu (dog sausage, bacon, ice cream and puppucino) and the vegan options for us. And it was the perfect choice. The friendly and helpful staff brought us water for our dog and her sausage was sliced and in a paper bag, which was a brilliant idea so she could enjoy it in bitesized treats throughout the meal and we could take some away with us. Our vegan bacon and sausage sandwiches were both a triumph, and served on very stylish plates. If you’re thinking of taking yourselves and doggy out for a treat this is the place for you! Highly recommend and we’ve booked yo go again already. Thank you
