Dining options in Oldham

“I went with my mum a few weeks ago and it was our first time going since it changed from Kitty's. While I noticed some things were different the important stuff was the same. The food was great, the service was lovely, and in typical fashion we were so full we needed to take the rest home! The cakes are, as always, incredible and you can tell a lot of effort went into them!”

“Amazing place! Such great food, staff and cocktails are to die for!! Especially the rum punch! Would highly recommend!!”

“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…”

“In the area so popped in to get something quickly. I'll be back. Great guys and food is unreal.”

“Went for lunch the food was amazing. I will definitely be going again. Excellent value. Good service, staff friendly and helpful. There is an outdoor terrace to the front.”

“We have been going to waterhead Tandoori for quite a few years now, and after promising we will leave a review, it's not before time. If you want excellent well prepared and cooked food, this is the place. The food is always excellent, the service is prompt, the premises are so clean you could literally eat your meal off the floor, and Al, is the nicest most polite guy you could ever hope to meet. He's always pleasant, upbeat, and is genuinely interested in how your day has been. The chefs are on full view hard at work, and everything seems to run like clockwork. Myself and Christine, cannot recommend this place enough. Thanks again to Al and his team of excellent chefs, we will continue to buy our curries from this clean, pleasant, well run establishment. Keep up the good work guys.”

“We went on a Sunday afternoon and had the all you can eat buffet. The food is very tasty and the quality is excellent. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive. For £14.95 the buffet is excellent value for money. The atmosphere is relaxed and modern. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.”

“Great service. Lovely atmosphere. Definitely recommend.”

“BBQ’D is honestly the best steakhouse in town! The food is amazing — my steak was cooked perfectly, tender and full of flavour, with great sides to match. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, always checking in to make sure everything’s spot on. The place has such a nice, relaxed vibe, perfect for family dinners or a night out with friends and famliy. You can tell they really care about quality and service — definitely my go-to spot for a good meal!”

“One of the best shawarma in Oldham. I been going there everyday from past few years, best and quick service staff doesn’t make you wait they serve you as soon as you order, very polite, friendly and nice staff . Food is always fresh and tasty I would prefer everyone to go there and try this best and tasty shawarma in Oldham”

“A spur of the moment decision on a Sunday late Sunday afternoon. A Walk in without a reservation late on Sunday afternoon, the pub was relatively busy and there was a small queue of people waiting to be seated. Whilst guest were being seated, the lady behind the bar could see that we were waiting. She stopped what she was doing, she greeted us with a cherry hello, and confirmed if we had a reservation which we haven’t. She said it was no bother had a table available And it will only take two ticks to wipe down and set up. We both went for the Sunday lunch one roast beef one roast lamb the meals came to the table within 20 minutes and I have to say one of the best Sunday lunches I’ve had in years we finished off With one cheesecake and two spoons. The staff here at the Horton were most definitely on their a game when we visited on Sunday. Polite professional and welcoming. We will most definitely be returning to the Horton Arms.”

“I rarely ever review a place but credit where it's due. I have been going to this place since I've moved into Lees a few years ago and it is absolutely amazing. Taste is top quality. Highly recommend it.”

“I've been using this chippy for the last 40yrs plus and it is by far the best in the area Sue the owner is great although I think she's retired now and her children run it,if you fancy a Chinese then give this place a try ,you won't be disappointed.”

“Best pudding chips peas and gravy in the world! Lovely staff, I've been complaining here for over 30years!”

“I came here today with my dog & it was like stepping back in time to my grandmas kitchen on a Saturday morning in the nicest way . The staff was so welcoming and warm especially with me having the dog . The atmosphere was just so wholesome it really felt like I was just in my grans kitchen . The decor is very very clean & the food was absolutely the best breakfast I’ve had . But hers sausage and bacon perfect orange yoky eggs with load of yoke , thick cut toast . Everything about it was beautiful so it looks like il be driving 40 mins for a breakfast every week . I also went alone with the dog which I’ve never ate alone before and not once did I felt uncomfortable.”

“Top food and great prices. Lovely ladies that work there too.”

“Salt and pepper chicken and rice box delicious”

“It was my favourite cafe in Manchester. Loved their loaded truffle mayo and mushroom hash bites and lovely flat white. Good internet connection and artsy vibes”

“Had a fantastic lunch here just now. Booked online and had to delay an hour which they were fine about. Had fantastic service and the food was great. I had the rump steak and garlic butter sauce. The steak was cooked perfectly medium just how I asked and that sauce was delicious. Thanks very much!”

“We had a birthday lunch on Sunday 27 July 2025. 9 of us and the food was absolutely delicious 5 had lamb awsome the others had chicken kitchen staff could not do enough for us. We will definitely be going again. Jack fleming”

“Excellent service, for furniture collection due to bereavement at a very difficult time, would highly recommend. Clear communication, friendly staff and turned up on time. Thank you for your help and support”

“This venue is absolutely incredible. I’ve now been to two weddings here and thoroughly enjoyed both. It’s a proper hidden gem tucked away in the heart of Saddleworth, you honestly wouldn’t expect it to be quite so impressive from the outside. Inside, the décor is tasteful, elegant, and beautifully thought out. There’s a stunning balcony that overlooks the main dining area, and the outdoor space is massive, perfect for weddings and, I imagine, other events too. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner. I ordered some drinks I wasn’t supposed to, but he handled it really politely and respectfully. It's easy as a business owner to become jaded and not speak to people as individuals or talk down to them, but he's obviously a good dude and gives people the benefit of the doubt.”

“Great customer service, very polite staff (especially the lady at the desk) best quality items at affordable prices. I bought majority of my furniture from here without regrets.”

“The food was the expected, standard affair. And as good as it was, it wasn't the standout part of our experience. The Service was beyond exemplary. We were served with a high level of friendliness and they were also kind enough to suggest things to elevate our food experience further. One example is asking about the type of bread we'd like in the Full English and another is if we'd like any additional flavouring in our Iced Lattes. This may seem obvious on the surface, but it's something that's regularly missing from the service at other breakfast establishments. It was a little pricey compared to other places, but that can be forgiven due to the friendly atmosphere, good food and exceptional service.”

“The best pizza in the area. Always delivers on time, pepperoni pizza is soooo good! 100% would recommend!”

“La Bella offer an awesome range of fresh pizzas. I like my take aways from store. I do it twice a week and always have consistency in food.”

“This place is a hidden gem! I ordered starter and main from the specials board. Both were delicious, freshly cooked and generous portion sizes. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the prices very reasonable. Bring your own booze was a bonus! Will definitely go back.”

“Went for midweek lunch with a friend , we both had the 2 course menu deal and drinks . Very quiet with few customers while we were there, nice friendly staff . Food was very good if on the small portion side , we had the steak and ale pie . Have been here in the past and it has always been a good experience .”

“Love it here, staff are so friendly especially the manager who is here all the time. Always welcomed in & food is amazing, menu is big- 100% recommend.”

“Lovely place with nice food. Bobbed in for some lunch and now I'm stuffed. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Our server/ waiter did his best to accommodate for any extras we asked for.”
