Chargrill chicken disgusting and rubbery. Chicken goujons inedible. Vet disappointed. Total waste of money.

I was visiting my daughter and her partner. They had a 40% discount voucher so we decided to try and eat dinner at the Whitegate Inn. We booked a table. However, upon arrival we had to 'search' for a member of staff to book us in. She showed us to our table and took our orders. My daughter had the vegan burger which should have come with roasted crushed potatoes. Instead it came with new potatoes. When she queried this, her plate was taken away and the potatoes crushed with the plate returned to her. My son in law ordered a bacon burger. The main ingredient to this is bacon but alas the burger was lacking bacon. When he queried this he was given two small rashers of bacon on a saucer. Both my daughter and son in law asked for unlimited drinks. When they asked the waitress for top ups they never got them. A very disappointing visit. Next time when I visit my daughter I think I will eat elsewhere. NO WONDER THE WHITEGATE INN ARE OFFERING DISCOUNT VOUCHERS, THIS IS TO TRY AND GET PEOPLE TO EAT THERE WHO PERHAPS WOULDN'T DO OTHERWISE! read more

Can only say that the triple beef burger was tastier than Byrons or Almost famous and my friends Fish n chips looked great and we cleared our plates :-) don't know about the rest but a nice room and we enjoyed our food read more

Whitegate Inn - Really good refurb ... - Pubs Near Me - Oldham, XGM

This has been subjected to a pleasant, if bland, makeover. On arriving, no-one was available at the reception to issue a table but after waiting several minutes, a hostess came over and rather than 'good afternoon', we were met with 'we are rather busy you know'. We were given a table in the bar area. A pleasant server took our order and despite him assuring us that he was chasing the order, 25 minutes for 2 soft drinks & a further 15 mins for 2 routine meals is rather longer than I feel appropriate. A fresh but rather greasy fish & chips and a gammon that was the thinnest steak ever seen (more bacon rasher thickness) were pleasant enough but far from anything notable. Although not actually bad, this is a fair way from being good. Id go again only if there was nowhere else or if they up their game in the order to delivery time. read more

Whitegate Inn - Pubs Near Me - Oldham, XGM

I've just visited The Whitegate Inn, this pub is part of the Beefeater chain and having had a positive experience at two other pubs in the Beefeater chain previously (one in Kent and one in Hereford) I decided to give it ago as a midweek meal. This is a large pub where the restaurant is separate to the rest of the pub, normally a lot of pubs of this size have started to look a little shabby around the edges where the brewery have not spent on the up keep, however here is not the case. I did not have chance to fully explore the building, in fact I was only really in the main restaurant, but it was obvious that it has had an extensive makeover in recent years which gave the place a more contemporary feel, which belies its traditional exterior. I find that Beefeater as an organisation sits definitely above your average chain pub, if they could forgive me the comparison I would say they are more of a Gourmet Wetherspoons. Their prices of course do reflect this, in some cases I find it slightly more expensive that similar food at other pubs, in fact its best to think of the food side of the business as a restaurant and not a pub, if you look at it this way then the prices are about average. The good news is the food does taste good, you can tell that it's not lovingly home made, but in my experience there is a consistent quality to the food. The vegetarian options are not as well catered for as meat lovers, but what is on offer is well put together. I often enjoy meat in some form or other in most restaurants I visit and I have to say that the steaks and gammon here are well cooked and their chips are the some of the tastiest I've had for a while - so they do fulfil traditional pub grub needs very well. When we arrived we were greeted by a very friendly young man who I assume was some kind of head waiter, he sat us at our table and told us who our waitress would be and even took our drinks order which was good. He didn't point out that we were still in time for the early diner option and only left us with one menu with the early diner options on (we were a table of 4) but I can forgive him that. The early diner here is a good option if you want to try the food out for a first experience, there is a good arrange of mains to choose from and at the time of writing this you can have two courses for £8.99 as long as you eat before 6:30 Monday to Saturday. We had an enjoyable evening with the only let down being our waitress who had little or no personality, she didn't want to spend any more time with us than it took to drop our plates off and pick them up. We were not asked if everything was OK with our food nor were we asked if we need anything more to drink or require anything else at any point and for some strange reason we had pepper pot but no salt on the table. I think one issue for Beefeater is they have styled their venues and priced their menus at Restaurant levels, but they still feel like more of a nice pub than a nice restaurant. They lack a special ambiance that comes with a good restaurant and judging by our waitress, perhaps not all of the staff has moved with this new business model. To be honest I think we were unlucky with our waitress, I'll chalk it up to her just having a bad day it wasn't a major disappointment to our experience. That said I've now come away from three different Beefeaters having enjoyed my food each time (especially the warm chocolate brownie desert) and I would definitely go back again and would be happy to recommend The Whitegate Inn. read more

Nice chill out with a bottle of nice white wine. Great to finish the evening off after a lovely meal at the indish Indian restaurant. read more

The whitegate is our local and we come here often. Either for drinks or to eat. On this occasion we went for food. It was my dads birthday and because he has a beefeater rewards card he got a free desert. I chose the flat iron steak with piri piri sauce, chips and salad. The chips are bottomless as well so if your a big eater this is perfect. Soft drinks such as pepsi, orange and lemonade are free refills whilst in the restaurant. To finish i had a cookie dough sunday read more
