About This Pub
Ah, the Gallows Pub in Rochdale – what a gem it is for a laid-back evening out. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the new landlord and team have really turned things around, creating that warm, homely atmosphere where you feel like you're among mates right away. It's got all the classics sorted, like a cracking selection of draught beers that go down a treat, and the Sky TV setup means you won't miss a second of the footy, with multiple screens and room to spread out. Plus, it's brilliant for families; they've got a toy box that keeps the little ones entertained, so it's not just for the adults. The food's generally a highlight too, with folks singing praises for dishes like the salt and pepper wings – proper tasty and well put together. But, to keep it real, there was that one review mentioning a dodgy meal, like a steak that didn't quite make the grade, so it might pay to play it safe with the menu favourites. All in all, it's a solid choice for a pint and a chat, and I'd say it's worth popping in for a look – just go with an open mind and you'll likely have a great time.

Great new landlord Since November 2022. Sky TV for the Football. Good Selection of Draught Beers on Tap. Also pub food available. I love the Coors draught nice and cool lovely Pint.. 😊 Alan.
Great New Landlord & Lady! Visited on a Sunday afternoon was fairly busy with the United Game one Multiple TVs and plenty of areas to watch the Game. Also a massive advantage when visiting with children was the Toy Box- Kept all the children in the pub very happy! Great Family Pub!
We went to meet up with Family who we had not seen before very disappointed in the meal I was served. I personally would not let it out off the kitchen. The chef has now left the building never to return . My steak had been warmed up in the microwave it was inedible, she did come out to rectify it but it was still bad as for the chips don't getting me started. HAPPY to say new chef installed wishing James all the luck in the world you can make this your own x
1st visit and will not be my last! Made to feel welcome from walking in! Staff we friendly service was spot on! food was amazing my pics don't do it justice! Can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Highly recommend the salt and pepper wings!!
We visited for the first time yesterday & were blown away by the food & the service.
When we spoke to staff we discovered the current people have recently taken over & the Chef is new to the team also.
The quality of the food & attention to detail & flavour was fantastic & we can't wait to go back.
The Harrows has a bright future ahead with this team in place.
Thanks for looking after us so well
