About Old Mill Restaurant
Homemade pies anchor the kitchen at Old Mill Restaurant, a restaurant on Old Mill Ln in Oldham that trades Monday to Friday and closes at weekends. Cheese & onion and meat & potato come out of the kitchen alongside a gluten-free pie, and rag puddings appear on the menu too. Homemade chips and vegetables are served with the pies, and a specials board runs beside the regular menu. A set lunch-and-sweet deal pairs a main with something from the sweets and puddings, trifle among them. The team also prepares buffets and catering packages for parties and events, with delivery arranged as part of the package. A Christmas lunch menu runs, booked in advance.

Customer Review Summary
Homemade pies are the draw reviewers return to again and again, with the cheese and onion and the meat and potato singled out repeatedly, one order arriving for a retirement lunch straight from the oven and piping hot, another accommodated as a gluten free pie. Close behind sits the sit down lunch, described as hearty and the sort a mother used to make, with proper homemade chips, veg, rag puddings and a trifle for sweet alongside a specials board. Buffet catering draws its own steady praise, one for a 30th birthday arranged at the last minute with clear communication about requirements and delivery, another feeding more than fifty with food to spare. Reviewers consistently describe warm, welcoming staff and generous portion sizes, and several mention good value. One reviewer who came only for drinks still called the service impeccable. Another describes a birthday meal in a room they found magical, photographing the windows before leaving, and one suggests booking early for the Christmas lunch menu.
