The staff were all very welcoming, and we were all really impressed with the friendly, efficient service. The menu was full of English comfort foods...and they executed everything beautifully. Just look at my photos to get an idea...I tried the goats cheese and caramelised onion strudel, which came balanced on potatoes and perfect ratatouille. If you ever find yourself in this part of the country, it is definitely worth popping in here for some lunch! *Pro tip: It sounded like they get very booked up in the evening, so ring ahead to ensure you get a table!!

However, it recently got updated, in which I worried it's loveable reputation would be ruined if it got too modernised. Luckily it didn't- it's just had a lick of paint and made to look and feel a lot cosier. The menu has totally changed to offer more food options, with more junk food offerings such as 'trash buckets'- buckets filled with pulled pork, fried chicken etc with slaw, cheese and sauces. They still have a huge menu of more home made favourites though. I opted for smoked haddock with spinach mash and a mustard sauce on a Saturday night, and it was so delicious. The mash was creamy and full of spinach, and the mustard sauce was amazing. Possibly the best meal out I have had for a long time! Love the whole feel of a traditional local pub too. Affordable and homely. Recommend eating here!

A fact that made me go there was the following - The interior of the pub today is included in the CAMRA National Inventory, a list compiled by the lobbying group of the only remaining 250 pub interiors (out of over 60,000) in Great Britain that remain of outstanding heritage interest!! The 1908 bar from is still in place, and is definitely unlike I have ever seen, it is a floor to ceiling carved wooded masterpiece! there is beautiful original tiling too .. and a lovely little snug to get cosy in! as you would expect with this calibre of bar, you can order from an array of beers! The beer is supplied by the famous independent Stockport Brewery, Robinsons, you will also find seasonal brews! The food is good too, on my visit I had 6oz Rump Steak & Caramelised Red Onions, Mustard Mayonnaise ciabatta for only £6.50 !! the menu is quite varied, but they stick to the best of British pub grub... nothing too fancy or trying too hard, just very good honest food!

I love the posters on the walls and the fact they still have a snug. The outside area is excellent with heaters and decking.

The pastry is so good and the filling delicious. I also recommend the home made sponge puddings they do with homemade custard. Well worth a visit during lunch time.

There's no atmosphere and there's no wow factor of an amazing aroma as soon as you walk in! For the price you pay, you could go to one of manchesters top restaurants for not much more! Another thing is the desserts.. Everyone has been going on about the cakes and ice cream there for weeks! They have them all lined up in a cabinet so of course, you have a look and see toffee ice cream with actual tofifees in it! 'Wow!' And bubblegum ice cream with real balls of bubblegum in it! 'Ever better!' So you order them both and just get a plain scoop of ice cream from a tub which is nothing like what they show you! and for £1.80 a scoop! WHAT?! I could have bought the whole tub you just got that one scoop from!!! So overall, I won't be returning! And as I can recall, I wasn't the only one unimpressed as there was a lady behind me complaining that she had found hairs in her food, not that they wanted to do much about it and just replied with 'the kitchen staff wear hats!' Brilliant customer service you have! (Not!)

Chadderton Bar & Grill located on Middleton Road in the Chadderton area of Oldham. I decided to try…read morethem out for the first time with their recently launched delivery service at weekends. As a result of the ongoing Covid-19 global pandemic, all restaurants are forced to close for dine-in in the UK with a handful (but growing) number now offering delivery and collection services, this is one of them. They deliver around a three-mile radius, and they didn't mind coming slightly over for me and impressively the food still remained hot despite living a little further away than their regular window. There is a £20 spend limit for delivery which I do understand as the delivery is free and they deliver it themselves, I don't understand why they haven't chosen to partner with UberEATS and Deliveroo however which would make the process so much simpler for them, which is what a majority of restaurants normally do, more so than ever right now given the current situation. It is a reduced menu and while gluten-free isn't available on their website, nor is online ordering, the staff were able to give me information via email or the telephone call which is the only way to order and pay for delivery food (giving card details over the phone). I opted for the chicken kebab, which was served in a pizza box, however, the use of tin-foil and the packaging allowed it to stay hot, it was more of a deconstructed kebab as you can see in the photo and while the chicken was good quality, there wasn't much of it. The fresh vegetables, garlic butter and well-seasoned potatoes (instead of gluten-containing fries) went well with the dish. The chicken risotto, on the other hand, was rather poor, it was made with a tomato base and it really didn't go well with the chicken, perhaps using a more vegetable broth or mushroom would have been a much better combination than tomato. I didn't end up eating it. At £7.50, it was one of the cheaper food items on the menu and I can certainly see why, which is a shame too as on their reduced menu it is the only risotto dish. 3* - One of the only food delivery services of any satisfactory quality, which also can cater for gluten-free in Middleton but they are missing a trick by not partnering with other delivery services which would expand their growth by being able to fulfil more orders and actually help more people realise they're still open. I would have prefered online payment and ordering as giving my card details over the phone wasn't the most comfortable thing I've had to do and being more clear and confident on allergy knowledge would have been good, it did seem a struggle at time to get information regarding particular dishes. An extra star to what I would have normally as give as it's probably the best we've got without going into Manchester city centre in terms of takeaway and delivery services nearby.
