I was in there on Friday 2nd October and they have a brand new menu which is Lancashire Tapas. Food ranging between £1 and £3.

Tremendous....although we did get carried away and ordered far too much. I would reccommend 2 people share 3 starters and 5 mains or 5 staters 4 mains + side dish of chips and veg. Well worth a visit. This pub is dog friendly but beware resident cat "snug" is first in the pecking order for all those leftovers.

Food ranging between £1 and £3...how inspired! Things like rag pudding, hot pot, fish and chips, white bait, black pudding and yes you guessed it bumpy lane pie all in tapas size portions, it was a first for me to sample rustic real northern cuisine all in one go! Although we did get carried away and ordered far too much, but at these prices who cares. The food was seriously good for what it is, and I will recommend making the little trip (and probably getting lost like I did) to hunt down this quaint little gem.

I couldn't get enough of this place. The epitome of an (extremely) old pub at the heart of a…read morecommunity where everyone seemed to know everyone else. And the beers are darn good too. This whitewashed inn accessed over an old packhorse bridge claims to 'probably' be Yorkshire's oldest (1307). Got to love them covering themselves for inaccuracy there. That's over seven centuries of beery goodness which was open for trade 40 years before the Black Death! A gem of a building with wooden beams throughout - the layout inside is stepped as it's built on a decline so disabled access is obviously limited (you may wish to phone in advance if you or your family member has any mobility concerns). There's plenty of seating throughout, however, with some set back in nooks in the walls. As well as serving real ale from independent brewers, they stock genuine imported lagers from around the world. Their fridge of bottled beers looked quite comprehensive. They also have guest beers which change regularly - when I visited they had Jaipur from Thornbridge on (one of my all time favourites). They serve food but we didn't eat here on this occasion. I can guarantee I will be a punter here again when I'm over next time.

The restuarant and pub areas are huge, taking two full fllors, with almost panoramic views out over the Rochdale countryside, which is certainly a welcome accompanyment to any meal. There's also a play area for the children outside, but that was looking a little dated last time we went. Ample parking space is available, and is clearly segregated from the kids play area. It's the type of gastro pub where you pay at the till as you order your food, which is something I prefer, and the food and prices are quite reasonable too.

This traditional style British Pub has recently been taken over by New Management, who have really…read moremade a positive difference. It is located, just off Broad Lane, in quite a scenic area. The decor is comfortable, albeit a little jaded. But maybe now a new crew are in, this will be something on their list of things to improve. There are a good selection of ales, beers and drinks - at a reasonable price. There are bar snacks, as well as a main menu. However, I have not eaten in this establishment, since it has been taken over. There is room for parking and there is also, an area, where children can play safely. You can choose to sit in the bar area, or in the conservatory.

It has a very warm/homely feel to it, and you will receive a good welome from the staff. It has to be recommended for its range of 'real ales', at reasonable prices. The theme is fairly old, but it definately has a comfortable feel to it. The toilet facilities are spotless & you are supplied with clean towels, soap & hot water! The music taste would suit the more mature person, but it is played as background music, so it is bearable. The pub does have a downside to it, in that it doesnt serve food, but crisps, nuts etc - can be purchased to fill a small gap. The landlord is very knowledable & his son is also, well aquainted with the business.

And lastly, the Yorkshire... large, crispy, gravy sodden perfection. I wanted a roast. I got a great one. And since I've last been they've renovated the garden area. There's now a huge outdoor seating area with cute gargoyles on the wall and heated booths. It's just lovely! Horton Arms, you really have stole both my families and my heart! Long may it continue.

I was staying at the Premier Inn at Clayton Greene, and was looking for a good dinner. I set off on…read morefoot and first stopped at the Rifle Range Pub near the hotel. Once I stepped in though, to the stares of the "regulars", I immediately found out that they do not serve food. But a couple of kind patrons engaged me and offered a suggestion: the Horton Arms. One of them was obviously very fond of the food there, and that was about all I needed to decide to try them. So I walked there -- and it's a good ways by foot, but then I'm after some good food... Unfortunately, they had finished serving dinner by the time I arrived, about 19:45 (7:45pm). That seems a bit early to me, but what could I do? Answer: return the next evening. So the next evening I arrived in time, and was quickly seated. I perused the menu, which had my usual favorites like Fish and Chips, and Steak and Ale Pie. But there was something on the menu which I'd never had, and it really piqued my curiosity -- a cheese and onion pie. "That can't be all there is," I thought; that's like ALL cheese... isn't that too much cheese?? But British Pubs generally do pie crust so well you could put damn near anything inside it and it would be really lovely. So I was a bit torn. The waitress arrived. I was explaining to her how I was trying to decide amongst my options, the cheese and onion pie being one of them, when she told me that the c&o pie was really nice... and that's all it took. When else will I have the chance to try this? -- and from a highly recommended pub too. Decided. The result? OMG! That was so good! See the accompanying picture I took. Just incredible. And the cheese was not overpowering. Now where am I going to find THAT over here (U.S.) when I crave it?? Especially in Minnesota!? (Probably nowhere...) Looking at all the different dishes that went by me while I was waiting for my slice of deliciousness, I can pretty well bet that anything you order here will be a delight. Yes, I recommend you try this place. It is now a destination for me every time I am in the Oldham area.

On this occasion, however, I was the designated driver so this was more of a reconnaissance visit for my return - and I am going to return as it was excellent here. Given the choice between the restaurant and the brasserie, we chose to sit in the latter - as it would be quieter and you'd get to see said 'Gin Emporium'. You can also get their full menu served here too as well as the bar menu so I'd advise to book in advance as there aren't many tables in this section. Their Signature Menu had apparently been awarded a AA rosette, which is a rare feat - though definitely deserved as we loved both courses. At two courses for £25 or three for £30 it was very reasonable indeed given the quality of the food. You can obviously order lighter snacks from their other menus. Service was warm and friendly - we were well taken care of throughout and not rushed despite how full they were. If it hadn't been chucking it down we'd have gone for a local walk as well - the village of Delph is charming. Tip: on the last Thursday of every month they hold a gin masterclass. Tickets are £15 per person and a light supper is included.
