Enjoyable shopping experience in Oldham

“2023: Shoes wear out, so back again. Same staff, same great service! Once again, no hard sell, lots of shoes came out, running on the treadmill, comparing two shoes at the same time. You really feel like they want the best for your feet. They also stock a large collection of running apparell, so a one stop shop. Free parking is available from the superstore up the road, so you can get your shop get your shoes, job done! Great experience shopping for running shoes, assisted by staff that actually enjoy running. Whilst my wife was being helped, I was able to watch three other ladies being attended to, each was treated as an individual, with quite different requirements and all left with running shoes they had tried, compared and had had informed detail on each one. The prices of the shoes were in the end all around the same mark, not cheap but not stupid prices and what actually mattered was they were suitable for her running style, the running surface, her personal gait and lastly a style she liked. Worth the money rather than wasted money.”

“Lovely helpful people Who do anything to get you a decent Holiday Nothing is to much for them to help you Excellent place & service with a smile xx”

“My husband is thrilled with his replacement wedding ring. His original one had started to hurt his finger. His ring size was measured in the shop and we ordered on line. The ring came within 3 days with a gift bag and ring box. Very pleased with the service, would recommend”

“Thank you for giving my son a haircut he had the best time! He can’t sit still ever, but you managed to give him a haircut and entertain him so easily and that for the first time! Thank you so much highly recommend”

“Absolutely amazing service best barber in all of England”

“I’m extremely happy with the work done on my kitchen and cabinets! The team was professional, efficient, and paid great attention to detail. They helped bring my vision to life, and the quality of their craftsmanship is outstanding. Everything was completed on time, and they made sure to keep everything clean throughout the process. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for high-quality work. Thank you for an amazing job!✨”

“Absolutely blown away by the tattoo I had done by Dem! Her realism work is nothing short of incredible – the detail, shading, and overall artistry are next level. She captured exactly what I wanted and turned it into a stunning piece of art that I’ll cherish forever. Dem was professional, friendly, and made the whole experience so comfortable. If you’re looking for a tattoo artist who can bring your ideas to life with breathtaking realism, look no further. I can’t recommend her enough – 5 stars all the way!”

“Great pies, lovely cup of coffee, lots and lots of choice for booze. The lady was also very lovely and welcoming. Will be back.”

“Brilliant Place to get a tattoo, they make you feel at home, if I could rate them any higher I would of done.”

“Just phoned A&D with a washing machine problem. Gave me advice over the phone and the problem was sorted. Thanks, great customer service - and for free”

“Really friendly staff, had a lovely chat while I was in and got seated very quickly, haircut was perfect was an overall great environment.”

“Took our miniature dachshund this morning for his first wash and nails trimmed, he came out smelling absolutely beautiful, coat was soft and shinning, he is looking like he is ready for a show. Extremely friendly staff & excellent pricing, definitely be returning and recommending.”

“Kevin has never let me down, reasonably priced and reliable, he’s one of the few true horologist around, we’re lucky to have him,”

“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!”

“Great barbershop and great value always love coming here”

“Fantastic Service. From a visit to their showroom where a staff member was so very helpful, ordered a specific door online. Communication first rate, advising me it was in stock then delivered today by a very polite and helpful driver. Great to have such service from a local company. 5 stars Guys.”

“I Would highly recommend this cafe, the staff are so friendly and very welcoming the food is freshly made and absolutely gorgeous! I will be telling my friends and family about this cafe. Will be regular customers from now on.”

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

“A lovely cafe with welcoming staff members. They are in the perfect spot for a bite to eat at the end of your walk. They accept cards as well as cash and the prices are reasonable. A Kelly's ice cream on a nice cone was £3. There are toilets too. Parking can be difficult on weekends but we've never struggled in the week”

“Had a puncture on my tyre in the middle of a busy day, and these guys absolutely saved me! It was an emergency, but they got me in straight away, fixed the tyre quickly, and had me back on the road in no time. Friendly, professional, and reasonably priced – exactly what you want when you’re in a stressful situation. Highly recommend their service!”

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

“Staff are very polite, helpful and friendly. Very efficient and care for the animals. Always clean, nice waiting rooms and clinics are spotless. Would highly recommend to anyone.”

“It's in my top 5 favourite Co-Ops.”

“It's a very good shop, and it's friendly and they have a good range of things.”

“Such a grand place! Just the other day I went in to B&M only just to buy one item and ended up with a trolley loads goodies, The staff are great and helpful!! Oh! Girls watch out I’m coming in this Sunday with the missus!! So trust me we’ll be coming out with a trolley load of assorts of goodies!! They actually do everything!! I Love this place!!”

“A Lovely and large clean new store always smells so clean and the shelves are always perfectly lined up so neat and tidy it’s perfect for people who have OCD like me about cleanliness hygiene and having things so extremely precise with all the labels facing the right way I love shopping here plus the staff are always so nice and helpful there are queues now and again but what supermarkets do you go to nowadays that never have a queue? I learned from speaking to staff at Aldi that most supermarkets have bare minimum staff that’s why you don’t see many if any staff on the shop floor for help and one or two staff on checkouts and to remember to be nice to them as they don’t choose to work in such small numbers and it’s not because they don’t want to help you or are hiding in the store it’s because there is hardly any staff there so remember to treat staff just like you would want your own son or daughter to be treated if they worked in a supermarket most work so hard and are trying their best and it’s not just one job they have they doing about 20 jobs at once because there’s such small teams!”

“Come here all the time. It’s brilliant. Bakery section is very good. Store can get busy at certain times of the day.”

“Always good customer service here even when its really busy nice clean and tidy and staff are friendly always get some good bargains when I come in here”
