The best restaurants serving British food in Saddleworth South Oldham North West

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.

We visited here to attend one of the Christmas parties and what an experience! The staff were amazing, the party was so well organised and there was so much to do for the price. Would highly recommend!!!

Had a great time at the Annex for a friends 50th. Nina on the bar was fabulous. Very friendly and made great gin and tonics, taking care to make sure the garnish was correct. Thank you!

14 of us visited the restaurant for a birthday celebration. We booked Poet’s Corner the private room off the upstairs dining area. It was lovely to have our own private space to decorate as we liked, play the music we liked & make as much noise as we wanted. The food was lovely & the service was attentive. We had to pre order from the menu which was no problem at all. The only problems we had were when one of our party who had ordered Halibut for his main was given sea bass instead as halibut was not available. This was not a problem for him luckily but I feel it should have been mentioned before it was cooked & served. However the restaurant didn’t charge for this dish so we cannot fault them for that. The other problem could have been a little more serious. One of our party is celiac & we took great pains to make sure this was known when we ordered. However the starter was brought & wasn’t gluten free. Luckily we checked with the waiter who was apologetic & changed it but I feel that more care should be taken when dietary restrictions apply. The same friend felt a little nervous with the rest of their meal in case this happened again. All in all I would recommend this restaurant, especially the private room for which there is no extra charge. But would just recommend that more care is taken when serving those with dietary restrictions.

Miserable staff. We waited 25 minutes for someone to take our drinks order. Nobody came, I had to go to the bar to ask for someone to come to the table. Waited over 1 hour for food which was only breakfast! Once food arrived we were not asked for further drinks despite all being empty. Shame about the service as the food was lovely when it finally arrived.

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.

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.

Nice food amazing atmosphere love it

Had a fantastic experience at the Marstons Kingfisher in Oldham! Huge thanks to Anna, Caitlin, and Nina for their awesome service—super fast, efficient, and friendly from start to finish. They made the visit extra enjoyable with their professionalism and great attitude. Definitely a team that goes above and beyond! Highly recommend and will be back soon!

Disappointing Experience Despite Friendly Staff I’ve given this place multiple chances, but unfortunately, it keeps letting me down. While the staff are always welcoming and friendly, the food quality just isn’t up to par. The last three visits have involved long waits, and they never seem to have the full menu available—especially when it comes to desserts, which is frustrating. My most recent visit was at Christmas, and not only was it incredibly expensive, but the food was also awful. Definitely not worth the price. It’s a shame because the atmosphere and service are good, but the inconsistency and poor menu availability mean I won’t be rushing back.
