The North Star Shaw Oldham

I ordered steak pie nothing like it!!! Need to improve the recipe! Had great vibes didn't live up to it. Wouldn't return!

Since our last visit nearly a year ago, our experience has been much better! The staff were LOVELY and the atmosphere was so welcoming and warm. The food was delicious we will definitely be returning!

First time here with new patrons and really disappointed Had to wait nearly an hour to get our first course of soup, ..bread was rock hard .. chicken skewers were way over cooked and hard all served on bakalite plates!!! View menu

The food was terrible and the staff were rude. There was a piece of bone or gristle in my cottage pie. The chef was defensive and claimed it was just mince. The manager was even worse, refusing to remove the item from the bill and then swearing at me in front of my children. It was a truly awful experience.

First visit with the new landlord and will definitely be going again. Eat from the 12 till 6 menu, 2 courses £13 or 3 courses £16. Although they are smaller sizes it was more than enough for all of us. Only slight disappointment was the Eton mess dessert which wasn’t great. Also now dog friendly which is a separate area and taking our dog in was not a problem. Definitely worth a visit.

"Fantastic Roast Dinner at a Great Local Pub This local pub is top-notch with incredible food and friendly staff. The food is always outstanding, but the roast beef dinner and gammon roast dinner were particularly amazing. Cooked to perfection and served with all the fixings - roast potatoes, mash, delicious vegetables, and Yorkshire puddings. Mark, the landlord, is welcoming and Kelsey, Lilly, and the rest of the staff are very attentive and professional, ensuring that everyone is well taken care of. The desserts are also delightful. I would highly recommend paying a visit to this gem of a pub." View menu

I have visited the North Star multiple times in the past and have always had an amazing experience. So, I decided to book a table for my daughter's 30th birthday yesterday, 3rd December 2023, expecting the same level of excellence. Unfortunately, I was left feeling disappointed this time. While the service was decent and the starters were good, the main dishes fell short of our expectations. One guest's fish batter was pale and soft instead of crispy, the steak and ale pie crust was flat and lacked the expected crispiness of puff pastry, and the vegetables were overcooked. The chips were average but not fresh. My daughter's chicken meal was dry, with overcooked vegetables and a burnt pig in...

After a recommendation to come her following the re opening I decided to give it a try, however I left feeling disappointed and £50 out of pocket. We ordered starters I had g.bread with cheese which was okay, don 't suppose you can get this wrong though. My husband ordered the pork belly, although the meat was tender, the sauce that it was in was way too salty. It was a soy based sauce but I suspect there had been a load of salt added. Not at all pleasant. We then waited around 25 mins for our starters to be cleared, after finishing and then piling the plates up to draw attention to the fact we 'd finished. Our mains arrived an hour after finishing our starters. My husband ordered the 'smash...

My family visited here after hearing good things, we arrived in plenty of time before the lunch deal finished for the day, which would have made this affordable. Young chap took our order, and 3 of us had the lunch menu in front of us and pointed to items off it, indicating we wanted the deal. They even said shall we order desert now or later, further indicating our intention to have the lunch deal. Food came, 2 of the 3 guests were happy with the food and then ordered the dessert which was part of the lunch menu. All came correctly, and then we asked for the bill. We had been charged individually for everything we ate and the lunch menu deal hadn 't been applied, so we were charged £20 extr... View menu
