About This Pub
Ah, The Oxford – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem, tucked away in Rochdale with that family touch making everything feel personal and welcoming. From the hearty dishes that come out piping hot and full of flavour to the attentive service that keeps things cheerful, it's clear they've put real heart into it. I love how they've got a cracking beer garden for when the weather's on your side, and those cosy fireplaces make winter visits feel snug and inviting – perfect for catching up with mates over a pint of real ale or a glass of wine. On the flip side, it's not exactly a bargain spot, so you might think twice if you're watching the pennies, and the menu, while spot-on for what it offers, is on the simple side, which could leave you wanting more options now and then. All in all, it's a solid choice for a quality night out, where the good vibes and tasty grub make it worth the visit, but perhaps save it for when you fancy treating yourself a bit.

From the moment I stepped inside, there was a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere.
The real highlight of my visit, however, was the lovely food. Each dish that came out of the kitchen was clearly prepared with care and attention to detail. The quality of the ingredients shone through, and the flavours were absolutely delicious. Whether you're after a classic pub favourite or something a little more special, The Oxford Pub seems to have something to satisfy every palate.
Adding to the positive experience was the good portion size. I certainly didn't leave feeling hungry! It was refreshing to receive a substantial and satisfying meal that offered excellent value for money.
Second time my mum and I have been. And we will definitely be back again. Tom served us, and he was so attentive and hilarious. I love the question of the week. The food is so delicious and such good value for money.
Great food, always busy, love the fact you can get smaller portion options too!
