The Medicine Tap - Rochdale

Sad tale of this place we had our last Christmas dinner and it was so lovely the sad tale is its no longer open they had to close it due to recent footfall Due to town hall renovation sorry its closed I was about to rebook it all the best to future endeavours

Absolutely wonderful bar undoubtedly the pride of Rochdale. Really good selection of beers, friendly, knowledgeable bar staff and a great crowd. Plenty of space to sit and chat, a great menu and while I can’t speak for the ladies, the gents bathrooms are a surprisingly innovative. I will say no more and leave it to you to find out for yourselves.

Love the lancashire cheese pie All the menu is good for lunch We call here when in Rochdale for quick lunch and coffee mostly I remember when it was the old post office Still some signs of it origin great place to meet up

We were served by Niamh, who was friendly and courteous and did everything to make us welcome including indulging my friend’s request to serve her vodka in a ‘gin style fishbowl’. Steak sandwich and chips was huge. Tasty peppercorn sauce. A bit on the expensive side, but two of us shared. Good value wine list.

After doing some research on where to eat gluten-free in Rochdale, we decided to try out Medicine Tap based on a recommendation from the helpful man at Touchstones. Initially, it seemed like only the fries and steak were gluten-free options, but after asking, we learned they could also make gluten-free pizza using special dough. The meal was excellent for both gluten-free and non-gluten-free eaters in our family, with delicious flavors and quick, friendly service. The staff was accommodating and we enjoyed the music as well. While I cannot confirm how strictly they adhere to gluten-free standards in the kitchen, the staff was helpful and I'm sure they would answer any further questions. They did not have gluten-free beer, but I enjoyed a pot of tea instead.
