The best restaurants in Ashton Waterloo Tameside North West

Really disappointing this pub used to thriving and always full to the brim on a Sunday, not now and it’s not difficult to see why. After often visiting years ago and feeling this with the best carvery in the area we decided to give it a go with the new ownership. Firstly it is not easy to book multiple phone numbers scattered across the internet. But luckily/unlucikly it’s that empty that it’s not necessary to book in here anymore. The carvery is very basic, potato’s burnt to a crisp and tastes cheap to overall. The worst part of the experience was when the woman wondering in and out of the kitchen in dirty clothes, with dirty fingernails went on the customer side of the carvery and proceeded to pick at the meat with her hands and eat it in front of us. Don’t bother to complain as the staff take no responsibility, make excuses for the meat picking and practically accuse you of lying. Surely none of this would wash with a good hygiene inspection? I expect this pub will soon be closed again.

Today should of been our wedding day...instead we are having afternoon tea a surprise from son. Thank you for delivering this wonderful surprise of section of sandwiches and cakes. We will visit the shop once this lockdown is over.

What an unbelievably rude and unprofessional member of staff experienced today. We went in today and ordered main courses for 3 of us and a portion of Prawns to share as a starter. The staff member (just naturally a rude person) came back and said that they had just had a fish delivery and the prawns might be a bit longer, and I quote "about 10min after your mains". I said to the two people with me, Infront of the staff member, "it's up to you as I know you don't have much time so we can cancel the prawns", the staff member said it won't be much longer, so we proceeded. I ordered a Leg of Lamb but got served a Lamb Chop, when I mentioned this to Miss Rude, she tried to tell me the Lamb Chop on my plate was actually a Leg of Lamb... Anyway, an hour and half later and food and drinks finished but no sight of any prawns, so I went to the bar and asked to pay but for the prawns to be removed as we'd still not received them. This 'delightful' member of staff replied stating that 'you've ordered them so you can pay for them'. I explained that I only ordered them on the basis of her stating that they would be about 10 minutes. Her reply was (incredibly) "I only said ABOUT 10 minutes, not EXACTLY 10 minutes", considering it was now over an hour later, she failed to understand there is a difference between 'about 10min' and 'over an hour'. And I'll quote the rude woman again, "It isn't a fast food place you know". Clearly not, when 9 prawns take over an hour an half. She printed the bill, with the prawns included, to which I said I was not paying for the prawns and to please remove them. She responded by stating that I was rude as soon as I came in and when I ordered, I'm not sure what point she was trying to prove, but I didn't even order the food, my step-daughter did. I insisted that I was not paying for the prawns, to which she said "you're on camera and as soon as you leave it's theft and I'll ring the police", I calmly responded by saying "take payment for everything else and if you want to ring the police over the £11 for the prawns than that's up to you". She refused to take any payment whatsoever (I only had card, no cash). The prawns turned up at this point, where I instructed the waitress that we were not having them as we were leaving. I left and returned within 10-15min with cash and paid for the exact amount of the bill, minus the £11 for the prawns not received. I can imagine she is the kind of person that will post video's on social media claiming that we 'dined and dashed', which is why I recorded me returning and paying. Such a shame as eaten there loads and it's a nice place, but unfortunately customer service is so critical to you're experience and frankly, when my 14 year old step daughter was even calling this member of staff out (in the car after) for her lies and her rudeness, then it's not a very good look. Won't be visiting again.

Loved this place and it's a shame we are going to lose it. Shame shame shame

Sad it’s closed no update on if is permanent or not

The food to be honest is terrible.i had fried rice and it was so salty.the beef in the curry was chewy I don't normally make a complaint but I would never eat from here again.this is my personal opinion

Wife's curry was merely lukewarm and I ordered lamb and received chicken. Won't order from here again.

Always perfect we never go anywhere else

would be nice if they ever opened on time always 15 to mins late

Best takeaway for a long time. Piping hot soup. Lovely duck. Nice chow mein. Quick delivery and the driver was very polite.

Ordered a takeaway through JustEat, who conveniently won't let me leave a review. Food was stone cold, ordered chicken with 2 carbonaras, neither had any, and one even lacked the bacon! Complete lack of care when contacting the restaurant, pretty much told it wasn't their problem. Do NOT waste your money

The worst pancake stack I have ever had! Dry pancakes, hardly any yoghurt with only 6 small pieces of fruit! Not very often I leave anything but I did this time! Today I am back in Weymouth and will go to the lookout for a pancake stack, superb, overflowing with yoghurt and fruit and cheaper! Manager of restaurant you need to do a taste test as it’s awful

Good places to have a drink great
