About The Roebuck Inn

On Strinesdale in Oldham, The Roebuck Inn is a pub-restaurant with a hearth inside and a wooden bar. The kitchen cooks pub dishes such as a pulled pork burger served with chips, and the dessert list includes a ginger sponge pudding. Sundays bring a three-course menu, where roast beef arrives with Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes. Outside, the area looks out toward Manchester, and a children's play area sits on the field for families who want the young ones occupied. The pub works on a walk-in basis.

Good to know

“Timeless pub-restaurant with a real fireplace and traditional wooden bar serving classic pub grub.”

Customer Review Summary

Most reviewers return for the hearty food, led by the burger, with one praising the pulled pork burger and another a burger dripping with juice. Close behind are the king prawn starter, tender lamb, sirloin steak with onion rings, and chips one diner likened to roast potatoes. Others name the Thai green curry, suet pudding, beef stroganoff, gammon, and cheese and onion pie, and the ginger sponge pudding and biscoff cheesecake draw praise at dessert. Birthday and family groups mention generous portions, friendly staff, a hearth to warm up by, views of Manchester, and an outdoor play area children loved. The caveats are specific. One reviewer who ordered the roast describes hard roast potatoes, only one of three diners getting a Yorkshire pudding, a shared bowl with one piece each of cauliflower and broccoli, forgotten gravy, and staff who offered no greetings. Another notes the chips lacked crunch and staff knew the menu only moderately. On a busy Father's Day, one waitress even brought a family extra veg.

    “The picture doesn't do this justice. But the burger was fantastic. It's was dripping with juice. Everyone else on my table had the chips and I would recommend. They were like roast potatoes. I came here as a birthday treat. It was my first time visiting. Definitely won't be my last.”

    “Fantastic food, and great service. Staying in a B&B just up the road and my family have been here every night this week and are coming back tomorrow. My son insisted I say how good the pulled pork burger is (and it is!) but the Thai Green curry, suet pudding and beef stroganoff are all excellent too!”

    “What a fantastic find! We visited here on Father’s Day and it was fairly busy but the staff were so lovely even if they were really busy. The food was amazing - we had roast beef, gammon, cheese and onion pie and a kids meal, all of which were very generously portioned and the waitress even brought us some extra veg. We all had a dessert after, which perhaps wasn’t needed but we absolutely didn’t regret. The ginger sponge pudding and biscoff cheesecake were excellent. The outside kids play area was really good and our son wanted to be on it every second he wasn’t eating! There are great views of Manchester from the outside area too. Overall would absolutely come back here to try something else on the menu. My MIL has already said we’re going back for her birthday!”
