Memorable dining experiences in Oldham

“Had a great time at a christening in the function room”

“Been a few times, fantastic place definitely up there with the best Indian food I’ve ever had. Staff are great always up for a chat, great venue”

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

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Open for 2months, were went for the first time and everyone loved it. We were quick to be seated, staff very helpful and courteous. Enjoyed the meal, the settings are very plush and modern. Will be back with bigger family. Mixed started flavours were spots on, the Sanah special burger was tasty and the naan were some of the best around. Bit pricey but you certainly worth it.”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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 .”

“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.”

“Ordered the Sharing Box, Great sized portion, all the food was absolutely amazing!! Definitely best Chinese I’ve ever eaten. Price was reasonable and staff were so police and friendly :) Definitely recommend!!”

“Fantastic starter and main friendly staff would recommend not had a bad meal”

“Very nice and tasty food. Had a parry order with them amazing service and food quality. Definetly would suggest everyone to try.”

“Best Chinese takeout in the area get lots of food for the price. All tastes amazing as well ,”

“Absolutely amazing food , highly recommended. We've been eating there for over 4 years and it's always delicious.”

“Lovely location. Nice carrot cake and a pot of tea for £4.25. Friendly service.”

“We really enjoy our Days or Nights in the Tommyfield, we have a Brillant time”

“Proper traditional breakfasts being served at an amazing price.”

“Taste, variety and quality is great. Service is fast and polite. Prices are very affordable. They are also consistent - it has tasted the same every time I have had it. I wouldn't travel from far just to try it but if you are local, I highly recommend a visit. Just note that it is a small shop so there is no seating area.”

“This is a great place to buy tasty food English or Chinese. 5 star hygiene rating I treat myself once a week love the chicken satay.”

“Came in on a rainy day for some hearty food. Exactly what I needed. The staff were so lovely and kind and the food was amazing will be coming again. Great atmosphere, great food!!”

“Decades. Nostalgia! Still delicious classic mild donner and chips. For a decent price too. What’s not to like”

“Even though we have moved out of Chadderton we still always use this takeaway to get a set meal for 3 (which feeds 4 easily, with leftovers, and is very reasonably priced at £30 odd). The food is well cooked and fresh. It's the best Chinese takeaway I have had. The only slight quibble is that it would be amazing if they could have a few gluten free options, the lady on the phone did not seem to understand the term 'gluten free' and so my coeliac brother in law had to make do with a gluten free egg fried rice and chicken from Mabel's Chippy Middleton via Ubereats, and the chicken was nice but the egg fried rice was flavourless, and it cost as much as our entire set meal for 3!”

“Amazing night at the bonfire and fireworks. Well organised and the fireworks were excellent. Food served was tasty especially the Tata ash. One criticism and only a small one as this is a free event, maybe some portaloos next year to increase the capacity for the weak bladdered.”
