The best restaurants serving British food in Rochdale North West

Visited here on a Friday lunch time. It is situated above a food hall near Rochdales outdoor market. There is a lift into “cafe” if you struggle with stairs. Parking is free in Rochdale centre on the town hall for a few hours and is a short walk. The menu is not extensive. There were specials on but most of which were sold out. The cakes, I believe , are home made and did look delicious. We both had a steak Canadian, a mocha and a coke. Mocha didn’t really taste of anything. Steak Canadians were basic with a small salad. Cost around £20. The place is beautiful, spacious, very clean and modern inside and very light which I liked a lot as I hate eating in dark places. Some interesting things on menu, and staff were ok. Toilets are down lots of steps. I hope they do well as a new small business in an up and coming town centre.

My family and I visited for Sunday lunch, I can honestly say what a feast!! love place staff amazing there is nowhere else to go for Sunday lunch well done to all involved 😋

The Chicken Roulade at The Pavilion is hands down the best dish I’ve had in ages – absolutely packed with flavour and cooked to perfection. Please, please, please never take it off the menu! The whole place has such a lovely atmosphere – calm, cosy, and really welcoming. The staff are even lovelier – attentive, kind, and genuinely make the experience feel special. A real hidden gem that delivers on all fronts. Can’t wait to come back!

Won’t be returning. Average food and poor service (had to search out the waitress to order). Over done food. 10.50 for a 250ml glass of wine (more than mcr prices)

We ordered a ribs take away, when it finally arrived it was cold. But the main problem was lack of taste and the over use of red food dye, my fingers we still red after two days.

Great pub, great food, good service and a nice relaxing atmosphere

Gorgeous breakfast as always with fantastic service from Holly! Treated like royalty. Food cooked perfectly to how we had requested (crispy bacon and runny eggs). We’ll be back!

Nice food nice staff quick service 👌

Went out for a meal with the family tonight. Tried a few pubs round Middleton that didn't want to know as only an hour or so of food to go. Called in the Hopwood and was advised only 15 minutes till food ended, I explained there were six of us but this wasn't a problem at all, a table was sourced straight away for us, food ordered and when it arrived was good pub food as good as some up market local pubs but a lot more reasonably priced,ordered two garlic bread side dishes expecting 2 pieces of bread but got two large pizza garlic breads which would have been at home in an Italian restaurant.Overall couldn't fault it, good pub food friendly staff, and washed down with an excellent pint of golden ale.

Situated on the main Rochdale-Rawtenstall road it is an olde worlde pub. Usual range of food on the menu and fairly standard price. Some in our party felt that the meat was not very good but on the whole ok. The staff were friendly but service was a bit slow. Lovely old traditional country pub. Car parking ok.

Went in a group today , 10 of us for Sunday lunch . Loved the lamb dinner , the lamb was perfect and not too pink for me . I had soup to start . Piping hot and lovely bread roll and butter with it . No room for dessert , shame as they all looked nice . Next time ! The setting is lovely . Staff are all very friendly and helpful . Would definitely recommend .

Visiting the Touchstones Art Gallery we stopped for drinks and snacks. Good selection of teas, iced mocha was great and came in an interesting mason jar with a handle. Single use plastic straws were out of sync with a vegetarian menu. Good soup and bread and other dishes on other peoples tables looked good.

A delicious coffee, smooth and more than strong enough, served in a big mug was just the start I needed. Some usual choices on the Breakfast menu, from Bacon barms and toasted teacakes, through to some specials. I had the Petit Café scrambled egg special. This was eggs tossed with mushrooms, ham (or salmon), 3 types of onions and spinach, alongside a slice of toast. Healthy and delicious, and only £5.50. The Petit Café has Polish roots, as seen from the lovely, friendly lady behind the counter, cooking up a dream of a breakfast, through to the delicious Pierogi dumplings in 3 flavours. For us, these are a reminder of a lovely holiday in Krakow, and we will be back to enjoy. Add in their loyalty card and good prices, and it should ensure big things for this little café.

Absolutely beautiful food from Madge! Lovely atmosphere with super friendly staff.. Highly recommended in my honest opinion.. thank you

I had my usual veggie breakfast at the Sir Winston Churchill this morning. I thoroughly enjoyed it, as always. Excellent service, as ever, from Rachael.
