Black Ladd - Oldham

Lovely food, friendly staff, good views of Manchester and surroundings kids and small dogs permitted in the vault thanks.

Really lovely food service at The Black Ladd in Shaw. After a rainy walk, 4 of us were looking for somewhere to eat. It was a busy Saturday evening the restaurant was fully booked. The very helpful head waitress accommodated us in the bar area kindly put extra heating on as we were cold wet from the walk. I’m presuming it is a dog friendly pub as the restaurant is separate from the bar area. 3 of us had the homemade cheese onion pie the 4th person had the steak ale pie, all came with gorgeous thick hand cut chips. Our cheese onion pie is up there with the best I’ve tasted, lovely strong cheese flavour no evidence of being packed out with mash potato that you sometimes get in that type of pie. The pastry underneath was cooked right through, (I really dislike some pies that still have transparent pastry on the bottom). Apparently the steak pie was also lovely, no grissle or fat to be found. All our food was piping hot when it arrived. The staff service was brilliant throughout our visit. Well done to all staff, especially the chef. We will defo return. Top tip, if you go during the week they have some really good 2 course 3 course deals on offer. Monday Thursday.

Visited with my daughter on a Sunday. Really friendly staff and a lovely setting where the pub is. The food was really nice home cooked food, the pea and ham soup was as good as my mothers and the cottage pie delicious. My daughter had a Cajun chicken burger which she enjoyed. I would definitely visit again when in the area.

Received a voucher for a wedding present so we booked for a meal. We also have a dog so we was delighted that the dog was welcomed. Lovely service. Gorgeous meal. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you for a enjoyable afternoon. Lovely meals. Will come again definitely with the dog.

Great food, great friendly service! We went for the three course dinner at £16:95 it was amazing. The staff couldn’t have done more for us from start to finish.
