Cultural experiences in Oldham

“Excellent food and staff, highly recommend as I am a regular here.”

“Called in today for breakfast. Lovely food and staff”

“Excellent friendly welcome, the owner took our order. We had to wait for our starters which meant they were freshly prepared (the restaurant was quiet with it being during the week), some restaurants just warm up the starters but not here! We really enjoyed our starters. The main courses arrived & were excellent! Also desserts were good and we ate everything. My wife enjoyed her wine and I had an excellent ice cold pint of water!(I was driving). Top marks for everything here. They are very child friendly too. Our waiter was extremely friendly and the owner was too! We will be back!”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Lana Thai Food in Oldham and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. This cozy little restaurant offers a fantastic selection of traditional Thai dishes that are sure to satisfy any food lover's cravings. The standout feature of Lana Thai Food is undoubtedly the amazing flavors that are packed into each and every dish. The food is bursting with authentic Thai flavors, and every bite is an explosion of taste. I particularly enjoyed the garlic chicken with rice, which was cooked to perfection. The chicken was tender and succulent, and the garlic added a wonderful aromatic touch to the dish. It's definitely a must-try! One of the things that impressed me the most about Lana Thai Food is the excellent value for money. The prices are incredibly reasonable, especially considering the generous portions that are served. You definitely won't leave this place feeling hungry! Whether you're dining alone or with a group, you can be assured that you'll get your money's worth and more. Another highlight of my visit was the warm and friendly atmosphere created by the lady who owns the restaurant. She greeted me with a genuine smile and her friendly nature made me feel right at home. Not only is she welcoming, but she's also incredibly funny, adding a touch of humor to the dining experience. Her passion for Thai cuisine is evident, and she's more than happy to recommend dishes and answer any questions you may have. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Lana Thai Food in Oldham. The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous. The owner's friendly and humorous nature adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience. Whether you're a Thai food enthusiast or simply looking for a fantastic meal, Lana Thai Food is a must-visit. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!”

“My wife and I visit Scona every Sunday morning for a treat whilst our kids are at a local yoga class. The scones are AMAZING, obviously, but so are the breakfasts and drinks. Excellent service, too. Roll on Sunday! :)”

“Beautiful. Located in the quaint town of Uppermill, this chic cafe bar is a faithful spinoff of one of Uppermill’s best cafes, Caffe Grande Abaco. This cafe bar has a nice rustic and authentic atmosphere, like a traditional cafe bar you may find in Italy. Also, the staff are really friendly (10/10), especially Nigel (the owner), who was great to me. Plus, I went to Caffe Grande Abaco for 10 years, and it was quite emotional to meet Nigel, as I was always asking the staff at Caffe Grande Abaco, “Is the owner in?”. Now, back to Veloce! The cafe offers a variety of drinks, handpicked from CGA (at this point, I’m going to shorten it - Caffe Grande Abaco). So, you can have a nice latte or a cosy hot chocolate while you chill and warm up here. Surprisingly, it is also a deli, since they have charcuterie meats and cheeses, condiments, authentic Mediterranean pastries and biscuits, and even freshly baked bread (so authentic!). I tried Rogers Pistachio Cruffin (mix between a croissant and a muffin) which was crispy and flaky on the outside, but fluffy and indulgent on the inside, and the silky pistachio cream made it even better. Perfect for breakfast! They also do sandwiches here, with fresh sourdough and scrumptious meats and cheeses and even flaky sausage rolls. What I really want to mention, however, is the fact that they are supporting local businesses. Most things here (the pastries, products and even honey) are made by small businesses in towns near Uppermill, which is really nice as Veloce is helping out those businesses. Overall, this place is a must if you are looking for a proper Italian cafe bar, and some delicious food. It is also perfect if you want to buy some charcuterie meats and cheeses, as they have a wide variety of them. Only complaint is, Veloce really needs to bring in some Arancini, as I don’t see much Arancini in Saddleworth, and I’m very sad about that. If you want more reviews like this, make sure to follow The Wandering Chicken, so you don’t miss out on the best places to eat in Manchester, and even the world!”

“A lovely little theater with a really warm and friendly welcome. The play we saw there was locally written with local actors and was very well done as well as very moving. It was a quality that could easily be performed at a much bigger theatre.”

“Friendly attentive waiters.. good food and nice setting for group birthday party.. enjoyed it greatly!”

“Cool place and some seriously flavoursome food.. the name says it all! Would recommend the chicken avalanche.. this place is a hidden gem and I'll definitely be coming back!”

“Best Indian Takeaway in United Kingdom. Try before you buy (only joking) try and you won't be disappointed. Highly recommended. Multiple delivery options available. Warm and friendly atmosphere.”

“Nice clean cafe, staff were friendly and the food was great.”

“Just like "Cheers" the series only 100%better. Amazing atmosphere. Fantastic hosts. Great bar staff. Great people. Always offers on. The gin bar is outrageous ! . A place , that when you go. You'll keep going back ! Got to be the number 1 place in middleton.”

“Just come back from watching “Little Shop Of Horrors” it was an outstanding performance by all. Each and everyone of the cast acted and sang exceptional well. We could have been watching up and coming future stars. Well done to all cast and crew. Xx”

“Had a lovely stay here, in one of the Shepherds Huts. Fantastic modern, clean well facilitated accommodation. All the staff from arrival, breakfast and departure were extremely pleasant and helpful. 10/10 Strongly recommended.”

“Hidden in a side street is this excellent small family owned restaurant. Sebastian the Italian owner was extremely friendly and hospitable. The food was genuinely the best Italian we had had for a long time (in fact some members of our party even said it surpassed the food they had in Italy). The prices were fair and service was excellent. If you’re in the area it’s absolutely worth grabbing lunch or dinner here, we will definitely be returning when we’re next in Manchester.”

“This is our Fifth time in here. Never failed. We had the Brunch menu, my Lily had crêpe and she said it is tastes like pancakes which she likes very much. And my Ami had a nice chicken burger. Already planning the next visit. Keep up the good work guys. Fantastic food and portions are really good.And we had dessert on the house.”

“Lovely olde worlde country village pub serving fine food and ales offering some tasters and nibbles with our beers as the afternoon games session commenced! Great atmosphere will be back.”

“Visited this place as the reviews on Google looked amazing. We arrived for brunch and we were greeted with a very friendly member of staff. The place was about 10% full, which was great for us! This place has a good selection of breakfast/brunch options, as well as many savoury, desserts, ice cream flavours and hot/cold drink options. I eat vegetarian, vegan and halal food. this place is 100% halal. We got the Berries, Pancake Stack, Turmeric Latte, Brioche French Toast and an Iced Latte. We did have to wait long for our order, however it was well worth it. The berries pancake stack that I had Was deliciously light and airy. I could tell it was made fresh. The menu did not mention the addition of chocolate sauce on the pancakes, however I wasn’t fussed about this. It was actually a nice addition to the dish. The turmeric latte was also tasty, and made me feel nice and warm. As turmeric does not properly mix properly with liquid, there was some turmeric left at the bottom of the mug, however I didn’t mind this. Overall, we had a very positive experience at this place and I highly recommend it to friends, couples and families!”

“First time here and definitely coming back. Food was great, and sooooo tasty. Thought it was priced well for how much we got. Can't wait to order again.”

“Favourite chippy. Love the food. Been coming here for years. Dan and his family are friendly and provide a great service.”

“Amazing tea and donuts, best tea place in Oldham. Wish there was a sitting place.”

“I had a good lunch here. The cheese and onion pie with gravy was very tasty. Highly recommend will certainly visit again. The food is good and portion sizes excellent. There is plenty of choice and it’s really good value. Service was efficient. The cafe itself has a lovely cozy atmosphere. A little gem in Oldham definitely worth a visit”

“Large function room and friendly staff. There is also a large beer garden on the side of the pub and a carpark. Ideal place for a quick catch up with friends or a quick pint with the family. The weavers arms also likes to entertain and have charity events and jam nights on a Wednesday, highly recommended if you like live music or play an instrument or just do a little karaoke. They have a tap room with a pool table and darts board and also have teams that play for the pub. Good atmosphere and good people if you're looking for a new local, I recently had a surprise party there and it was an awesome night.”

“Absolutely brilliant night, first class entertainment and landlady so welcoming and helpfull everyone extremely thoughtfull and one very kind gentleman bought my wife and I a drink even though we had only just met. Lovely down to earth people can't wait to go again.”

“Stunning listed building, original plaster ceiling. Good selection of drinks, plenty of seating. Will definitely be returning.”

“Did not stay, But if rooms are if similar standard to food and drink, they must be good. We had a tremendous lunch for 6. Always excellent,will be going back. I forgot my fleece and grey put it to one side and it was there early evening when I went back, thanks!”

“Wonderful service from Olivia, friendly and helpful. Always great value holidays. Will definitely book here again.”

“Really excellent food staff and atmosphere food was quality service was second to none the atmosphere was really friendly and family orientated”

“This place is amazing. Atmosphere is cultured and the outside area is the best in the summer, but also fantastic in the colder months. We ordered the Grande Plater but unfortunately it arrived with no sardines or cheese…”

“Probably the best food I've tasted since my mum past away. Good quality good prices and options and very friendly delivery staff. I highly recommend you try this takeaway. The lamb dinner last night was heavenly. Thanks guys from alison gittens at rock st Oldham.”
