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.

But the Elephant And Castle is an exception in local village Bamford. Having been invited to the other side by S, we were introduced to this local delight. Meals for a fiver, great one. Options included a Chinese inspired sizzling beef, curry amongst the usual pub grub. On Sundays there's a £9.95 deal for the traditional dinner and sweet. Great value and great tasting home made food. Marking it off as great was the open fire. The Elephant and Castle is all you'd expect from a village local, friendly and warm. Rochdale isn't that bad S.

The pub is a popular watering hole, but lunch times and early evening are very busy as they serve good value, very tasty food. There is a black board with specials on top of a good selection of dishes on the main menu. If you are hungry try the Elephant Burger, not the healthiest thing on the menu but very tasty. This is a busy friendly place with good service and good food: highly recommended.

There was a choice of curry, rice, chips, homemade cheese & onion pie, salad and coleslaw for about £7 per head. We also had half of the pub reserved for us and 2 bar staff for our party and and homemade sausage rolls on the bar. There was prosecco on arrival for the guests, which cost £15 per bottle, and they were accommodating, catering for differing dietary requirements and bringing in limoncello on request. They also let us bring the cake and balloons in advance. Would definitely recommend for parties of a maximum size of 45 (more if you're able to hire out the entire pub).

It was originally built way back in 1796, so expect low wooden beams, lots of exposed brick and cosy fireplaces in every dining space. The bar is well stocked and as well as three regular beers they have guests from the likes of Phoenix (a brewery based in nearby Heywood). Lots of choice on the food menu, with everything from soup of the day right through to steaks and roasts. Have a look on their specials board for the pie of the day - we had steak and pepper which was not only delicious, but was practically the size of a saucer and coupled with chunky chips, veg and gravy left us unable to talk, let alone get up out of our seats afterwards. Service was friendly throughout and despite us turning up without a reservation (it might be an idea to book a table on weekends) we were seated and served without too much of a wait for our orders. A tip for winter - the pub lacks a porch door, so if you're sitting in this section expect the occasional draught when the door opens. We were well hard and braved it ;) When the weather is more pleasant they have a decent-sized beer garden at the back. If their small car park is full there are plenty of spaces in the layby directly across the road.

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.

Although we went on a Sunday, the menu had plenty of choice, ordering a variety of different meals between us including fillet steak and roast beef, each of which tasted great. I had the roast beef which was fresh and tender, followed by a sticky toffee pudding which was home made and tasted great. The staff were knowledgable about the food, and very professional.
