Quick info
About The Junction Inn
The Junction Inn is a pub in Oldham, at 2 Rochdale Rd, with a menu of 53 British pub dishes. Rag pudding is on that list, alongside a chicken & leek pie, and the roast dinner comes with Yorkshire puddings and cauliflower cheese. An early bird menu is offered around 5pm for anyone who wants to eat early in the evening. The kitchen serves both lunch and dinner, so the same menu works for a midday meal or a night out. Coffee and desserts are also served, which makes the pub a stop for something lighter than a full meal.

Customer Review Summary
Pies and fish lead the praise, with diners singling out a chicken and leek pie with gravy, a home cooked cheese and onion pie, and a huge piece of fish with homemade tartar sauce. Close behind are a chicken burger, a falafel salad described as big and fresh, and a hot beef sandwich with chips. Reviewers also call the staff friendly and welcoming and the interior beautifully decorated. One lunch visitor was served immediately despite a busy room, and a group of 9 says the pub catered for them and went above and beyond. Service is where opinions split. One reviewer found the waitresses rushed and unwelcoming, and another said a roast dinner could have been warmer. Two one-star accounts are more pointed. One describes a table of five told food would start later, then refused the early bird price and a refund on drinks. The other describes a roast with tough beef, burnt Yorkshire puddings and cold cauliflower cheese, plus a sauce and a dessert menu that never arrived.

“Wouldn’t normally do this but just had the worse experience at Kings Arms. Called in as we often do about 5pm for the early bird menu , got a table straight away , quite a few tables empty actually, went to get a drink and menu, 5 of us in total, and we were told they not serving food for about 20 mins coz they were busy. We were fine with that, went back to order our food at said time and then told now it was gonna be 6pm. At which point the early bird menu finished. We asked to speak to the manager , told she was working in the kitchen so couldn’t come out, said if we had known it was gonna be 6pm, they should have said and we would have happily left and gone somewhere else but now we ordered drinks and actually they couldnt guarantee what time food was starting in the bar again. They also said they wouldn’t honour the early bird price, didn’t offer us refund on our drinks and we were then told we should have booked 🤬. Erm they take walk ins🤣! Had they just been honest in the first place we wouldn’t have stayed , or had issue. Honestly treated so bad , won’t be going again #rude #shitservice”

“The food was great, especially for a local pub. Unfortunately, the service let the experience down. It felt rushed, and the staff didn't really take the time to listen or make us feel looked after. The waitresses came across as though they didn't want to be bothered, which made the interaction feel a little rude and unwelcoming. A more attentive and friendly approach would have made a big difference.”

“Seriously gone down hill. The service was awful from start to finish. We were asked if we wanted sauce with our meals, said yes, and it never arrived. Then we were asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu, again said yes, and that never came either. Staff seemed to avoid coming back over / eye contact once they realised they’d forgotten about us. As for the food, the beef was tough and chewy, the Yorkshire puddings were burnt, and the carrots and cauliflower cheese were freezing cold. The only time someone came back to the table was to ask if we wanted another drink while we were still sat waiting for the dessert menu. In the end we just asked for the bill and left.”
