Drinking spots in Oldham

“Came here with my friends and had an amazing time! The food was absolutely incredible. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. Our server Rubel was awesome and gave us great recommendations that we all loved. The music was lit and really added to the fun, energetic vibe. From start to finish, the experience was enjoyable and delicious. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to”

“One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The restaurant is quirky and modern with great ambiance. Our 2 waitresses were fantastic; friendly, efficient and very knowledgeable. Then there was the food.... hard to put into words how good it was. Every course was a piece of art and the tastes blew me away. I really can't say enough about this place and look forward to returning”

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

“Zena Bees Cafe is amazing food here is delicious. I had the big breakfast muffin omg it was tasty and filling. Well worth the money and visit here. The cafe is clean and service is outstanding.”

“Visited today, with my friend and my toddler. They didn’t have many options for kids but that’s fine as my son was more interested in a sausage roll from the bakery. The food me and my friend had though was absolutely delicious, really well made. The coffee was really good quality too, a really well made cup of coffee not burnt or too hot.”

“8 of us oldies for lunch after a walk round the reservoirs. Excellent position both for Delph and the hills. 2 course lunch for £11 and it was good, all enjoyed a variety of meals. Good service and busy.”

“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.”

“Nice friendly pub. Great pint of Sam Smith's. Roaring coal fire in winter.”

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

“My wife and I came for lunch, having previously visited for drinks a few weeks ago. We are trying all the local eateries as we will shortly be moving here. The staff were very welcoming and attentive and it all seemed very well organised. The food was excellent and we both really enjoyed the Sunday Dinner menu which was available on bank holiday Monday. Decor is really nice and the pub has a welcoming feel. Nice to see dogs are welcomed in the bar and garden areas. Will most definately be returning”

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

“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.”

“Went there last minute as our other plans didn't work out. I have to say I was shocked by how good the food was as I hadn't heard anything about the place. First of all I love the decor. They have made a really nice and cosy environment. And the food was just beautiful. I will definitely go back. The young staff were so good and well mannered.”

“Really nice local cafe with friendly staff. Excellent homemade soup, tasty food & decent portion sizes for the price. I would recommend the spicy rice & the bakewel tart.”

“Jam sponge was so soft and delicious. Same with the Matilda cake. Young boy who served us was polite and displayed excellent customer service.”

“This pub is not part of your normally brewery chain. It's back to the old days were a couple run the bar with their lovely team. The pub is clean and warm and appears to have been recently modernised. It has a homely feel, friendly atmosphere, reasonable priced drinks and a wide variety of gins and tonics which we enjoyed trying.”

“Best beer around. Black Sheep. Worth going for.”

“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!”

“This is a great real ale pub. Totally unpretentious- great beer and food. Also the pub dog is rather fabulous!”

“Had a few roasts in the old venue which were stunning Been few times at the old cock and Sundays roasts fab too - I do miss the lamb shanks on the menu but enjoy the other meats we had Have to say the cheesecakes are the best I’ve eaten absolutely gorgeous Would also like to comment the young girl running the floor ( maybe the chefs daughter ) so lovely with a gentle caring and kind approach that always tries to make your experience as positive as possible Only negative be the venue seems so cold :)”

“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”

“To All staff at Cartshaft I would like to thank you for the amazing hospitality at my mums surprise 40th party I would like to thank the 2 girls who worked on the bar last night they was amazing and couldn’t do enough for us and they even joined us in celebrating behind the bar they are a credit to your workplace and I would like to thank the lady who helped me book the venue and the venue in it’s a gorgeous venue can’t thank you all enough xxx”

“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 .”

“The food here is amazing! The jollof rice was especially great, full of flavour and perfectly cooked. The puff puff delight was excellent — soft, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Special shoutout to Oyinda for her great customer service; she was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“It's officially my number one sandwich shop! thank you for your truly amazing food and service!”

“What we really like about going to this Costa is that most times we are there there it's not too busy. Tables are spaced out well so that they don't tend to feel claustrophobic. The music is not too heavy, so we are able to enjoy both it and conversation. Not always a great selection of foodstuffs. And, although you can use your Costa card to add points, you can't redeem them at this location (bit of a pain). Still, it has also thought about families with very young children in providing a few things to do. On the whole, it's not a bad place to visit if you don't mind paying the Costa prices!”

“Located on Elk Mill retail park relatively new building. Nice, bright and pleasant always clean and tidy. Normally quick service. Baristas very fast and friendly. All on one level with easy access for disabled/wheelchair users. Children's play area outside. Large free car park.”

“Popped in here for food earlier and it was lovely so had to leave a 5 star review. The burger is one of the nicest I’ve ever had! Great service and so welcoming! Will definitely be back!”

“It's a nice pub now it's been done up plenty of space.”

“Brilliant welcoming local pub; always good beer & good food when it is on. The food is exceptional, don't miss it.. outstanding.”
