About Chapter One Bar And Kitchen
On High Street in Oldham, Chapter One Bar And Kitchen is a family run restaurant and wine bar, with the owners working alongside the team. Thursdays bring a tapas night, with sangria poured for tables to share, giving groups a set evening to plan around. The daytime menu runs from breakfast through brunch and lunch, with bagels served in the morning and at midday, sweet treats in the afternoon, and tea and coffee throughout. Booking ahead is advised. The dining area is small rather than a large room, though a private dining room handles bigger parties and outdoor seating is there for anyone who wants to eat in the open. Dogs are welcome inside. A takeaway menu covers the same kitchen for customers eating off site.

Customer Review Summary
Tapas is what brings reviewers back most, with one calling it the best they'd had outside Spain and another insisting no order is complete without the beef in redwine. Close behind is the sangria, including a huge skull of it at a Halloween dinner that four diners finished between them. Daytime visits draw their own following, with repeated praise for the bagels and fresh ingredients, a cooked breakfast and cup of tea, and a pizza night one first timer called perfect, alongside hopes of returning for Thursday tapas night. Several describe the small, quirky room as cosy and chilled, and the owners and staff as warm and welcoming, one family noting their ten year old felt like family. The only complaint on record is mild: one reviewer was distracted by a passerby muttering at the window, but said the visit was otherwise great. Another remembers staff joining in the vote for the guests' favourite carved pumpkin.
