The best restaurants serving British food in Ashton Hurst Tameside North West

Cozy pub typical pub food menu. Needs to attract more customers, quiet & no atmosphere , needs happy staff to welcome you in. Best day is Sunday lunch, can’t fault it but please please invest in some fans….so hot in there because of old windows not letting air in. Constructive criticism I hope because we do like this little pub If you upped the atmosphere to attract more customers it could be a gold mine .

Today (18th) was a very lack luster affair, the service was ok but an occasional smile wouldn't have gone amiss . The food was not up to the usual standard,smaller portions and not as tasty, the kids meal was inedible which was a simple cheeseburger chips and beans. Leo who Is 18 months old and loves his food left 90% , his burger was almost completely black on one side , the beans had to be asked for and came separately later in the meal. Yes it was a warm day but not that warm that it would change the quality of the food or service.

I was expecting a homemade pie with fresh ingredients but they are mass produced Martins pies with E numbers and sugars. Quite expensive as I paid £25 per pie. For that price I would expect fresh ingredients and a locally produced pie. I can’t eat processed food due to health issues which was why I chose a bakery over supermarket. Very disappointed.

We have eaten here a few times and the lack of consistency always leaves you wondering what the experience will be like this time. The last time my mum ate here, they tried to charge her for a more expensive meal than the one she'd actually had. Three of us came for lunch on Monday and it was very quiet, so we expected the service to be good. We were sadly disappointed. The service began okay enough but declined rapidly. The food was nice but the time we had to wait for our main course (three pizzas) was far too long. We then waited a while for someone to come to ask if we wanted dessert or coffee so that we could ask for the bill. There were only a couple of other tables occupied but the waitresses seemed to prefer standing by the bar having a chat, rather than providing good customer service. Very disappointing.

Known this pub for 40 years. New broom has not made much difference. No real ale. Not one handpump. All keg and lager. Rather frequent a proper pub with good food.
