Customer Review Summary

Reviewers mostly come for the function room, hired for a wake, a baby shower, a gender reveal and a funeral gathering. They describe a room dressed with chair covers or white cloths and bows in chosen colours, a private bar, and a buffet with veggie and gluten free options and requested desserts. One guest adds that Kerry spent hours helping with decorations, though the staff are named only by role here. Close behind is the Sunday roast, called home cooked, with the lamb cooked perfectly and a home made banoffee pie so filling that one diner took it away. Others praise the Christmas lunch, the food at competitive prices and the calm, cosy feel, with staff described as friendly, patient and attentive. The one caveat comes from a baby shower host who could only enter an hour before the stated start on a Sunday and advises allowing for set up time. A scooter user got in through the entrance but found the toilets impossible to reach, and staff did their best to help them get there.

    “Lovely home cooked Sunday roast, the lamb was cooked perfectly. Would definitely recommend 😊”

    “Hired the function room for a family members Wake, Mike & Kerry could not have been anymore kind, accommodating & professional. The attention to detail in the preparation of the room was outstanding, chair covers with colours of our choice, a memorial table with flowers & candle, all little extras (FREE) that stood them out from any other facility we viewed. It was all perfect! Buffet was delicious, plenty of food to go round, accommodating Veggie & Gluten free options & even provided special deserts we requested! Barman was great, on a stupidly warm day we kept him busy & nothing was too much trouble. Perfect location & very easy to find for all guests with car park on site although not owned by the pub you get 3 hrs free parking! During this difficult time they were an absolute pleasure to deal with, I would highly recommend the Middleton Archer function room for any event! 10/10!!”

  • Nat Chan
    “Had my baby shower at the archer in their function room in March 2026. 10/10 would recommend. Reasonable price to rent the room (£100 at the time) £100 deposit required which was paid back at the end of the event Food packages were a good range. Had the choice of 3 different packages to choose from, the lowest package started at £6.95pp (at the time) Food was good - everyone enjoyed the variety Venue was a decent size for what we wanted. Room was set up with tables and chairs which were dressed with white cloth and bows that you got to choose the colour for. If you are planning a party there, account for the set up time. We told our guests it was a 12pm start but we could only get into the venue at 11am as the opening time was 12 on the Sunday (my own fault, I should have checked) Venue hire came with a private bar also Dog friendly to also add!”
