This Tesco Cafe, is located inside the Tesco Superstore in Rochdale, and although the cafe looks…read morenice, looks can be deceiving and this Tesco Cafe, is not a nice one. I ordered 2 eggs with beans, and it was even hard to get that, with this being my regular order, at my local Middleton branch, they normally have no problem making it, even in the Huddersfield Road, Oldham store, but here, they didn't like my order. They told me that as it was after breakfast time, they would only do breakfast if it was an all day breakfast, after consulting their manager, they done it for me, after I told them it was for my allergies, but still to get this basic dish it was hard, a struggle. They did only charge me £1.19, which is considerably cheaper than what I'm used to, as it normally costs between £1.50 and £2.60, depending on the branch, but still I'd rather pay for quality, and although Tesco isn't the bees knees, this branch, wasn't even meeting their average standards. The presentation was horrible, on a small plate, and it looked like it was just carelessly just slotted onto the plate, which after a long wait (for a Tesco Cafe / simple breakfast), I was upset and annoyed about. My breakfast had to end up in the garbage as it was.. garbage. The eggs were totally undercooked, and far too runny, to the point where I'm sure they wouldn't have been safe to eat, and they tasted horrible too. My beans were also hard, and they tasted like Everyday Value beans, rather than the standard beans Tesco use. My breakfast was simply horrible, undercooked and a disaster and considering the time it taken, it makes me wonder, did they just go to the shop floor and choose Everyday value, as they were annoyed at my choice, and then went ahead and just stuck it in the cooker for too little time. I really wouldn't recommend this Tesco cafe, I really regret judging this nice looking cafe (especially compared to Middleton) by its look and not food, and I do think it deserves one star.

Popped in for a snack at the weekend. Only one young man at front of house! Ordered 2 panninis…read more They were served on a Costa coffee cup side plate! Not on a small plate. Pannini was fresh but the filling was almost absent! No side salad that's usually there! Would not go in again as food wasn't good and presentation was diabolical! Such a shame for such a large store!! Very disappointed.....

Desperate for a tea and cake after walking the Great Ridge we came hear having seen reviews online…read more Cake selection was good and service was quick although the tea room wasn't too busy. We had one piece of the carrot cake which was delicious. Had a pot of tea each which gave us a good 3 cups full each. Bill came to £7.20. Service good and tea room was cosy. The menu had some interesting info about the history of the site. Strange to see customers going outside to use the toilets.

Following some consideration, I would like to give this Tesco a more respectable 2 star rating. I…read morewould like to seperate why in a list of Pros and Cons Pros: - This is a big store which includes a click and collect desk as well as customer service, which you will normally see in stores but also a salon and a Timpson. - Very big clothing department - Good size cafe and close to a Starbucks - It has a manned petrol station - Location is quite good being on a main road, easy access from Rochdale and Middleton city centre - Good size Cons: - Shape is quite unusual hence making it hard to navigate for those who rarely visit - Poor range of Starbucks Iced drinks compared to other stores, including Tesco in Middleton - Poor Mobile signal in this area and little to no signal in the Car Park - 2 minute drive away from an ASDA, where prices are 10 percent cheaper or money back - Quite a few items were not here upon my visit, including Microwavable chips, supermarkets normally stock good amounts of both types but it seemed they had sold out. - Most of the items were spaced out, for example they was little to no Seabrook Crisps on the crisp isle and they were just dotted around, they were supposed to be in those places as they were labels and anything, I guess they presume this with other things too hence making it more confusing, but don't hold me to that. - Store layout in general, not very nice compared to other stores like Middleton Overall, this store deserves 2 stars because it does not make the most of it being a larger store with stock of certain items and the layout is not the easiest on the eye and quite confusing, the lack of a wifi signal also adds to this. I wouldn't say this is a Tesco to avoid at all costs anymore but it really isn't worth going out of your way too, especially with an Asda being minutes away in a car, where they guarantee to be 10 percent cheaper or your money back, Tesco just guarantee to be cheaper and something prints off at tills.

This is a larger Tesco store and I can say that it offers a wide range of products (especially as I…read morecan compare this to the one where I live now). For example, in the children's clothes section, there is a wide selection of designs and sizes. They have a fresh fish, meat, cooked meat and cooked chicken counter. They also have an instore bakery and their fresh french bread is gorgeous. They also sell the usual fresh fruit and vegetables and groceries. The manager is often present overseeing the smooth running of the store. The checkout staff are friendly and always offer to pack. There is also a petrol station on site. The car park is quite big and the store is located in a central area, just off the motorway. A bus stops at the side of the store also.
