To be honest I was compelled to book a table here mostly to check out their massive gin collection…read more(they recently broke their own Guinness World Record and now have 600 varieties). 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.

I've been a few times now and would definitely recommend…read more Great selection of food and wine and the service is most excellent.

I would love to give this place a good review- alas- I was so turned off by the owner (Billy?) that…read moremy brother and I left before we could order anything. For background, we were exploring the area as our ancestors were fixtures in the area. When I asked Billy if he knew the location of the pub that our 3rd G Grandparents ran in the 1840s (which was purported to be near the tunnels end in Diggle)- he immediately dismissed me- saying that it was never there. Apparently he thinks he's a historian. (BTW- I AM a Historian) We left to escape his toxic behavior. It turns out that our family pub (The Tunnel End Tavern) was actually the site of what is now The Diggle Hotel. How sad that we couldn't even return to walk in the footsteps of our ancestors. Boo.

If you enjoy good food and a beer or two this is an excellent pub…read more Always good service and food . Value for money menu . Nice location . Give it a try for sunday lunch.

Just went into the Hanging Gate (Friday night at 21.20) to have a quiet drink with my wife while we…read morewaited for our daughter who was playing in a concert up the road. Pub was moderately busy with people drinking, didn't see any food. Went to the bar and was greeted with the phrase We're shut, Diggle Hotel!. I thought she was joking so I smiled at the joke, embarassed silence then when I tried to order a drink I got the same response. At this point I realised she wasn't joking. I'm 50 something, hardly a trouble maker and I've never been turfed out of a pub before! Update Just been back for another visit and it feels like a different place! Much more welcoming! Haven't tried food yet but ale was good so hopefully my star uprating will be accepted.

Came to the pub after reading the review above. Pub opens 3 until 11, with a large sign reading…read more"now serving food" displayed outside. We went in and were told that they only serve food thurs-sun. Pretty ridiculous, don't go out of your way to come here. Go to saddleworth instead.

Absolutely a gem of a hotel with first class rooms, service and gourmet dining -- ALL at moderate…read moreprices. Room: Extremely clean, comfortable and well appointed. Restaurant: Gourmet dining at its best. I had the pork belly which was to die for. My husband was MORE than pleased with his braised lamb shank. Staff: Ashley (receptionist, bartender, porter) is a welcoming smile with most gracious service. She is a credit to this establishment. Jenna was our server in the restaurant. She was most accommodating, informed, great timing and a pleasure. GO HERE! You won't be disappointed!!!

It is called Commercial Hotel and yet I know nothing about it being a hotel…read more I have been in for a few drinks in the past and feared for my life. I kept going in because the drinks are cheap! Anyway, this pub is ok. To me it would not pass as a family place at all as it is full of young groups situated in near enough every corner of the place. They have a snooker table which you can never get on and I would not suggest you tried. It is one of them places where your feet stick to the floor! Great? NAH
