Dine in in Oldham

“Absolutely great food at Gourmet. The place is clean the fresh is amazing very juicy and tender. The chicken steaks full of flavour and would definitely go again. Mocktails were really nice as-well. Friendly staff members and great customer service.”

“Love this place!!! Burgers were spot on and tasted different thanks to the sauces and fillings. Fries are awesome especially with cheese sauce and a good selection of drinks. If you get the chance, talk to the twins if you see them, proper humble, down to earth and and nice guys. All the best at this new location.”

“Honestly, one of the best noodles takeaway that I have been to. They have variety of options that you can order, as well as their food is freshly made and tasty. Top customer service.”

“Ah, Cheerful Garden. A name that conjures up memories of my OG Fiat Punto, Friday nights, and the purest form of salt and pepper chicken imaginable. My cousin and I, two seasoned veterans of Friday night feasts, embarked on a pilgrimage back to the hallowed halls of this culinary institution after nearly two decades - both having moved away. The anticipation was palpable. Would the magic still be there? Had the years dimmed the flavor, dulled the spice? We nervously approached the dimly lit sign, our hearts pounding like teenage drummers. The aroma hit us like a tidal wave, a symphony of sesame oil, garlic, and pure, unadulterated deliciousness. Nostalgia washed over us, stronger than a particularly potent Satay sauce. But alas! Tragedy struck. After rattling off our order with the fervor of a seasoned auctioneer, I was met with a chilling realization. The sight of a grown man totting up on a casio calculator can only mean one thing... cash only. My heart sank. Years of climbing the corporate ladder, of meticulous budgeting, of carefully navigating the treacherous waters of modern finance, had all led to this – a cash-only Chinese takeaway. Despair threatened to consume us. Luckily, my cousin, a man of resources (and apparently, a card-carrying member of the American banking system), had plastic. But the ordeal was far from over. Finding a cash machine in Lees, a town that seemed to exist outside the realm of modern convenience, proved to be a Herculean task. We circled the "Co-op" (now an Aldi, a cruel twist of fate), only to find ourselves cash-less and craving. Just as hope began to dwindle, a beacon of light – a cash machine shimmering beside the legendary "Legends" – appeared. And whilst it accepted his Bank of America card, it was clear that the Chinese gods smiled upon us. And then, the feast. Salt and pepper chicken that could convert even the most ardent vegetarian, chow mein that danced on the tongue, black pepper chicken that set our souls on fire. The Singapore vermicelli, oh the vermicelli! And the soup, a fiery elixir that warmed our souls and banished all memory of our cash-related woes. Now, let's be real, reheating takeout is an art form. But even after a journey longer than most cross-country road trips and a brief stint in the air fryer, the Cheerful Garden experience remained unparalleled. It was an 11 out of 10 performance, an oriental masterpiece that could only have been orchestrated by the culinary gods themselves. If I didn't know any better, I'd say they must have droned it in from Beijing. Now, another 20 years may pass before I have a legitimate reason to return to Oldham. But when I do, you can bet your sweet and sour pork that Cheerful Garden will be my last stop.”

“Always fantastic food Restaurant standard Tried many others but this is the best”

“It's been my favourite chippy for over 20 years I've tried every chippy around and found some good ones but always end up back at Great wall.”

“Just ordered king prawn satay.and salt and pepper chips.It was absolutely delicious and arrived within 20 mins of ordering the delivery man was very pleasant I recommend this takeaway hot and tasty food.”

“Best Chinese chippy in Oldham. Never had a bad meal from here but sadly will close their doors for good on 7th May 2023 at 10pm.”

“Arguably one of the best Donner Wraps that I've had in a long, long time. The mests are very flavoursome and they're not dry like some other places. The prices are reasonable and it's definitely worth the money. Chips taste nice too and you get a good selection of 3 sauces which is a nice added extra. Didn't have to wait a long time to get my food either. I'd buy my Donner from here any day rather than the cheaper takeaways nearby. The salad and sauce that comes on the Wrap is also very tasty! Always updating their menu too which is good to see.”

“As a group of mtb cyclist we visit this cafe quite frequently. Over the years we have never had a problem with the service always spot on. And the food is always excellent”

“Absolutely lovely food for the price and above and beyond service honestly! Even though they were technically closed, they still managed to deliver piping hot and delicious food about half an hour after their closing time. I was so impressed by the effort they made to get my order to me. The delivery driver was incredibly warm and friendly, and you could tell he truly cared about making sure I was happy with my meal. It’s rare to find such dedication and service these days—highly recommend!”

“AMAZING HIGHLY RECOMMEND... 8 of us adults and children went on a Thursday evening it was fabulous. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food is gorgeous, tasty, hot, and loads of choice. Plenty of desserts. Clean and beautifully decorated. Great value for money.”

“They have a £15 deal full chicken 5 wings chips and 2 drinks.. really worth it tbh. I have had this a while ago and ate today. It was good value for money and the grilled chicken was fresh. I don't see what the moan is about with paying cash.. small business trying to survive without paying silly amounts in transaction fee or just eat/uber taking their 33% cuts. Thank you team for the food today.”

“Absolutely delicious food, and I'm not normally one for texmex. The owner Gus is a very friendly man and a model to his staff, though the older bald gentleman I see there now and then (contractor I assume) always looks depressed.”
