Half Way House - Oldham

Had a great experience at the half way house with friends everyone enjoyed there food well prepared and presented prices are reasonable restaurant clean the pub itself has nice interior relaxing atmosphere service good everyone happy

We hadn’t book just called in on spec and managed to get a table. It was busy and we had to wait a bit for food but this wasn’t a problem. The food was lovely and very reasonable. The staff are friendly and helpful

We have been four times and have not been let down . food really good and pleasant staff. we eat out on a regular basis and the halfway house is now on our list of places to visit.

I have been here lots of times and as usual tonight ordered a medium rare sirloin streak. However when I cut into it, it was very overcooked. I didn't eat any of it, I didn't even wait for a waitress I walked straight to the till area to inform them. The waitress came back out and told me the chef said it was cooked med rare and if I expected a replacement steak I would have to pay again. I told them to cancel my order and that I would not be paying for a meal I couldn't eat. She went away, a few minutes later she came back saying the chef expected me to pay half the cost of the meal because I had eaten part of it I hadn't. I told her I was not paying anything. She went away, again few minutes later came back to say chef says you have to pay half because the steak was med rare when it left the kitchen! Utter rubbish. Again told her I would not. She went away. Another manager then appeared and said the chef wants you to pay half the cost, are you willing to do that? I said no, he went away and that was eventually that. All of this was in the middle of the busy dining area! It spoiled our evening, my friends couldn't enjoy their meal whilst this was happening and they felt uncomfortable that I did not have a meal. I am booked in for half term with 5 other friends but that will now be cancelled. Never had such a bad time over a poorly cooked steak!

Called in this cosy pub for a couple of beers after a walk in the local park. A lovely welcome, choice of decent beers and a seat in the corner. TVs all over showing different sports but with the volume turned down so we could hear the great music.
