Restaurant in Oldham

“Cycling past and spotted this little cafe. A really nice welcome and cappuccinos, hot chocolate and filter coffee was ordered. The young girl did a great job making the drinks and presentation was second to none. A very nice place will visit again.”

“Just a quick stop for us but the cakes were delicious and huge, and the pot of tea was also lovely. Staff were extremely friendly and got out a highchair for our baby.”

“The food was really nice, everything tasted really good quality! Definitely a great hidden gem Only feedback would be to offer a thin base pizza and a few other pizza options but otherwise 10/10”

“AMAZING!!! I love Michelle and the team, and the church service on Wednesday was AMAZING!!! Definitely coming again!”

“Nothing is too much trouble for these people. Food is spot on everything and presented with care.. Their love of food is evident in their desire to present and cook food that is perfect every time. Thank you both.”

“It was a lovely bar and the food and coffee was great highly recommend it kind regards tony”

“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!”

“Couldn't wish for a better service jade was extremely helpful. The staff are very friendly at Hays Travel Failsworth.”

“Amazing food and great prices. Welcoming environment, if you’re around on it is the place to be on the Friday and Saturday evenings.”

“My mum and I visited the farm shop and cafe and had afternoon tea and it was absolutely gorgeous. They provided great veggie options and it was overall delicious. You could add on a glass of Prosecco or a larger for an additional cost also. The crockery was lovely and the staff were amazing, very attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend !”

“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”

“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”

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

“Friendly staff, speedy service, lovely food and an ideal location. Really enjoyed our visit. Thank you!”

“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…”

“Great little find for a pit stop while out riding. Lovely and tranquil while fueling up. Staff really friendly and helpful”

“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.”

“Lovely, small hotel. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. Nice pub too, Excellent breakfast. We stayed one night for the standedge tunnel canoe trip. Stayed here on Friday night and then the owner gave us a lift to marsden on sat morning to join the canoe trip. Diggle end of the tunnel is 200m from the hotel. Recommended.”

“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.”

“It's in my top 5 favourite Co-Ops.”

“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”

“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”

“What an incredible place! From the moment you walk in, you feel the warmth of the staff and the owners who truly care about their guests. They go above and beyond to make sure everyone feels welcome and leaves with a full belly and a big smile. The food is absolutely outstanding – fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions that make sure you never leave hungry. Every dish tastes like it’s been made with love, and you can tell how much pride the team takes in what they do. It’s rare these days to find a restaurant where the owners are so hands-on, personally checking in to make sure everything is perfect. That level of care really sets this place apart. Highly recommend for anyone who loves amazing food, great service, and a true family atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back”

“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”

“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!”
