  “Average pub and restaurant with unreasonably expensive prices. £14.65 for a beer, a tiny Vino Spumante Prosecco and a pack of crisps.”

  “We had nice time. The place is pretty and the people are lovely. We got 3 courses for 21.50 which is great value. My prawn cocktail starter was lovely. The main and desert were fine but not world beating and the peppercorn sauce was just cream. The children’s play facilities were good for big kids but too big for our two year old.”

  “Great food and lovely staff – it’s definitely one of our regular places because it’s well worth visiting more than once. I normally order the salt and pepper burger with fries, and it’s always absolutely lovely. Although I wasn’t a huge fan of the recent menu change, there are still plenty of great options available, and the food tastes just as good. They also had an old school cake as the cold pudding of the day, and I can honestly say it was amazing. It should definitely be added to the main menu permanently! Overall, I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for tasty food, friendly service!”

  “We came for lunch on BH Monday, and had terrible service, mediocre (at best) food, and the worst delay i have ever experienced in a restaurant. We sat down at 2.30, main meals were arriving between 4.15-4.30. The first person had finished their main before the last person’s had arrived, not really acceptable when there were only 6 of us. I had to send my starter back, which took a very long time to arrive and arrived on burnt toast. I ordered the crab/prawn on toast. My main, a Caesar salad, was mediocre and definitely not worth the £17 they are charging for it. My partner and brother ordered the mix grill, which was dry, chips over done and again not worth the money you would pay for it. The steak was cooked well, but the gammon was actually pork and was extremely dry. They were both waiting over 10 mins for the peppercorn sauce, so were waiting to eat. There was a sign saying ‘45 mins wait for food’ which, if it had been more accurate, i would have left and eaten elsewhere. Also, the toilets smelled and needed a clean. The whole time we were waiting for our food, no one came over to ask if we wanted drinks, meaning we had to queue at the bar every time we wanted a drink. When i raised this with the manager, she gave a £5 discount per person, which was 20%. After spending 2.5 hours here on the hottest day of the year, i can safely say i won’t be returning. If you are visiting, maybe place your order a week in advance!! Also the website needs updating on website.”

  “Food was very disappointing and over priced. For a starter i had soup that was like dish water no taste or any idea what flavour it was supposed to be and the mains are basic and poorly executed. My pie was in a dish and all the gravy inside had congealed and formed a wall that donald trump would be proud of. Never seen anything like it. Worst pie I've ever had. The mash was also in a bowl and looked like it was premade and microwaved. It was weird to receive a plate with a pie in a dish, mash in a bowl, cabbage in a pot and gravy in a tub. Pub is nice inside but the food really is lacking. You would get better in a school canteen. Looks like the pub recieves a lot of bad reviews due to the food.”

  “The Woodhouse Gardens in Failsworth is a traditional pub with a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. The food here is generally excellent, with home-cooked meals that showcase quality ingredients and careful preparation. Dishes like the Sunday roast and cottage pie receive consistent praise for their flavour and portion size, making them reliable choices if you visit. The pub also offers a good range of vegan options and regularly updates its specials board, which adds variety to the menu. The drink selection includes award-winning cask ales from JW Lees Brewery, complementing the hearty meals nicely. That said, the pizza is a letdown. Despite being on the menu, its small size does not offer good value and fails to impress compared to the rest of the food. If you’re considering ordering pizza here, you might want to rethink and choose from the other well-regarded dishes instead. Overall, The Woodhouse Gardens is a solid place to relax with friends or family. The large beer garden and children’s play area add to its appeal, especially on warmer days. It’s a good spot for a casual meal or a drink, though you should avoid the pizza if you want to get the best from your visit.”

  “Went for a family meal, we did book and I'm glad we did as the restaurant got very busy. Service was quick and the food was lovely and tasty. When we finished went sat in the bar area, this was also busy. Highly recommend for food and a place to have a drink, very welcoming.”

  “A spontaneous stop for some lunch. Good size car park. Cozy interior and decor. Nice separation of dining and pub areas. Staff were friendly enough. It was a good size portion of food and it was cooked to and served with no complaints.”
