The best restaurants serving British food in Oldham North West

Bakes custom made me a 30th Birthday cake box with various treats. This was during the COVID-19 lockdown so everything was done over social media messages. The service was excellent and of course was the cakes and biscuits. Would highly recommend.

It was a complete surprise from our son & his partner. The presentation was really attractive and the sealed tray kept everything fresh. We will definitely be recommending this service to family and friends.

Desde este preparado me comí y la comida era increíble. China halal es raro en oldham pero sabrosos y me sabía la boca sin duda volveré de nuevo cuando estoy en la zona

Lovely venue and friendly place

Lovely pub, great staff! My son loves coming in too and it’s always a nice atmosphere

Great fish and chips and always service with a smile.

We called in on spec and we're given the last available table. Waited 10 minutes before waitress took our orders. 45 minutes later we were still waiting for our food. We called a waitress and the owner/manager came over. Her attitude was disgraceful. Rude and aggressive. We were informed that they were busy and the food would be served when it was ready as it was all made fresh. Answer to that is get more staff. Her lasting most annoying statement was that as we were walk-ins and had not booked what did we expect. I challenged her on this statement and she backed down on this. She did eventually go and check on the foods progress. We were told it was being plated up and would be out soon. Back to fresh cooked food, the why was my steak and onion sandwich cold? Not only that but the salad was swimming in a awful salad dressing. None of us enjoyed our meal which to call it mediocre would be a gross understatement. Will most certainly never go back to this establishment.

We typically refrain from lodging complaints about our dining experiences; however, our recent visit to The Roebuck Inn on January 10th for a 50th birthday party warrants a response. Upon arrival, we informed the staff that we had brought a cake, but no offer was made to store it in the kitchen or serve it after our meal. While we accepted this oversight, the issues compounded as the evening progressed. The food quality was disappointing—steaks were overcooked despite specific requests, and the vegetables were overboiled and lacked flavor. Additionally, there was no table service for drinks, requiring us to go to the bar and pay each time, which was particularly inconvenient given our location on the top floor. The cleanliness of the room was also subpar, with remnants of the previous party’s food still on the floor. When the bill arrived, we noticed that the prices had increased by £3 per head compared to what we were initially quoted. The staff appeared disengaged and unprofessional, contributing to a generally unpleasant atmosphere. To make matters worse, the night was cut short due to a foul odor emanating from blocked toilets, which caused several diners, including us, to leave early. Despite these significant issues, no refund or discount was offered. Given the absence of the owners, it appeared that the staff might have been overcharging customers. Unfortunately, this experience was a complete waste of over £400, and we will not be returning.

Another visit spoilt by poor service. This is a lovely pub. It has a great atmosphere and decor and serves wonderful food. I hate to leave negative comments, but this is the second time we've visited and had poor service. Last time the waitress forgot to put our dessert and drinks order in and after a 20 min wait came back and asked if we wanted a dessert. This time, part of our drinks order was left on the bar, (we went and collected it ourselves) and then the waitress served our food to another table who only realised after she brought out another dish they hadn't ordered, but by which time they'd begun eating the other dishes. The pub wasn't even that busy. As much as I really like the place, I'll be considering elsewhere next time. Sorry.

Comfort Haddock absolutely beautiful. Beautiful sauce. Melted in the mouth. My husband had the steak pie, delicate pastry with so much filling. Great service as always.

Restaurant clean and friendly, staff polite as always. We chose from the smaller menu.. we ordered the creamy garlic mushrooms as they're usually delicious... however this time was drizzle with balsamic vinegar... spoiled the dish. The parfait and home made chutney was delicious but served with dry warm bread or aneamic floppy toast? The pepper corn chicken came which was fantastic as always. However the liver and bacon came still bleeding, very off putting. Next was crumble and custard, very tasty, also Sticky toffee pudding served piping hot. There was no need to put a wilted viola flower on a hot dessert. ... yes it was busy and service was a little slower today. The place is delightful and staff lovely so would still recommend. Obviously not the same chef.

Amazing pub; friendly and efficient service with cosy atmosphere. I'm very impressed by the food, would recommend to everyone. I intend to go again with my friends and siblings because the food was fresh, which we hardly get in the city and other town pubs. This pub should be proud of the service they offer, all I could say is regarding the food, there's not many pubs like The White Lion, everyone must try them, don't miss out guys. A special thanks to the chef for the yummy food 🤤. Apologies guys, I forgot to take pictures. Forgot due to enjoying the amazing experience I was having at the time but I will definitely post some pictures of the food when I visit next time.

We have just come back from having afternoon tea here today and I cannot thank Val enough. We received a warm welcome, the food was amazing and I am gluten free and felt completely in safe hands with lovely food. Val provide food and gifts for my grandchildren and our friends grandchildren and nothing was too much for her. We are planning a return visit soon, next time child free and with Prosecco-thank you Val for your attentive and caring service.
