Horse and Farrier in Rochdale

This is a pity, but luckily very easy to fix. The most junior / youngest bar staff need customer service training and there needs to be discipline from the other staff in ensuring this is respected. Two examples: - Young lady behind the bar was doing nothing for a while and then told me she couldn’t serve because she was underage (rudely). Next day she was serving so I wished her a happy birthday and her confusion wasn’t unexpected. Either lazy or working underage. Third day another young lady charged me for a beer and I asked why it was different price than the day before, before realising I’d had a different one. The lady and her friend from above point turned to one another and rolled their eyes and shook their heads in disgust. Bizarre. Final visit of the Xmas period I came in and ordered a beer and one of the two was again leaning against the back and rolled their eyes whilst trudging over to pour a beer. I saved her the trouble and politely cancelled the order and left. Toilets desperately need a spruce up. Didn’t try the food but I noted other customers asking the bar for cutlery and the staff asking customers to get it themselves from a tray. (They later told me the bar and the kitchen are separate. As a customer, I think that’s irrelevant.) Decor in the main part of the pub is nice. Very young crowd which is good to see but could be at risk of turning into a turnoff for others who aren’t young. All feedback is intended constructively.

Love it here, not the closest pub to us, but definitely become our local. Decent prices on food and drink. Great outdoor space for kids and adults. Always warm and friendly.

Food is AMAZING and very well priced! Can tell it's fresh and homemade. We had the salt and pepper chicken pizza and the steak sandwich with some proper beer-battered onion rings! Massive portions. Great outside area and service was very quick. Damian the bar man was very friendly and chatty. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back!

Had a trip to Greenbooth with Boothroyd as he fancied a pub lunch on a hot Summer Wednesday afternoon. Neither the White Lion nor The Bridge Inn were doing food. Had spotted this pub on the way so returned here. Three ales but as Booth was driving he had a shandy. Some outdoor seating at front but lots to the rear on two sides of a bowling green. Small car park also to rear. The righthand room needs a refurb...the other side near the toilets is nicer. There is a rear Pool room. Had a lovely Haddock but the hand cut chips were not as crispy as I like. Booth had a spicey burger and fries which was really good.

Fabulous local pub! Great range of products, fairly priced with amazing, knowledgable staff! Food is delicious and came quickly. Will definitely be returning soon! - bonus - good beer garden with all day sun!
