Pubs drinks selection in Oldham

“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.”

“Good, friendly local, has some charactors, but that's what I like. Doesn't do food, has a pool table, darts and sports on the TV.”

“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!”

“Always have a good night in here, there is live entertainment on a Friday and karaoke on a Saturday, may people enter as strangers but leave as friends.”

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

“Lively, friendly pub with a good atmosphere. Enjoyed the live music. No cask ales but pleased to see a mild on which was excellent.”

“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”

“Nice, old-fashioned very traditional British pub with a cool back room where bands play. Friendly service and a good atmosphere, the back room is small so perfect for an intimate gig. Good selection of beers on at the bars including Robinson's Trooper which is a personal fave!”

“Great place, great atmosphere. Always call in now when on a night out in Ashton, and it never disappoints! Great tunes, karaoke (some good and bad!), everyone's always friendly and always have a laugh when in there, cheap beers and shots what else do you need? Would highly recommend.”

“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!”

“What a welcoming pub. A group of us visited after the Oldham vs Woking game on Tuesday night. We were away fans, but made to feel at home straight away! Christine & Jess looked after us so well and we were even bought a round of drinks from one of the locals. We will definitely recommend The Rifle Range and be sure to visit for longer next time. Thanks all!”

The setting itself is lovely, relaxed, and perfect for a weekend treat. Our server, Jasmine, was absolutely brilliant — so attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well looked after from start to finish. We honestly couldn’t fault a single thing. Highly recommended!”

“Absolutely top place. Owners are amazing as are all the staff. They have amazing nights especially a Friday. Top door men pretty much a top time if you go. People are lovely, no trouble. Deffo recommend and the prices are amazing”

“Out and about in Manchester with Albrecht. Have not been in this non real ale pub in many years but fancied a pint of Guinness. A very good choice. Albrecht had a pint of Estrella. £12.20 for the two pints. A one room pub taken back to the bare brick. A small rear outdoor area. Impressive spirit collection. Very friendly staff. The toucan murals take me back 60 years; we had metal trays with the Guinness toucans when I was a lad. ( sister still has them!) They do have live music. Pipped music was pretty damn good.”

“Beautiful people, lovely place. So accommodating I'd recommend to anyone. Love from the barnardos team ❤️”

“Met some friends for a few beers before going to a restaurant for a meal and went back to Angel after and they had Kareoke on, it was very busy and the atmosphere was very good, nice to see a pub doing well.”

“Great local great pint and good prices traditional local went twice this week as staying in Oldham for work”

“Good. Cheap beers. 2 Newcastle browns for £5. Absolute steal. Located brilliant. Right near the town centre.”
