The Rose Of Lancaster in Middleton

The go to pub in North Manchester. Friendly and comfortable atmosphere with charm and very good food . The landlord is friendly and is on the ball constantly, walking about looking after customers. The vault half allows dogs in, it's just a chilled pub. Staff are very friendly too.

Brilliant not been for ages but we enjoyed our lunch filled us up for the day, called in today for dinner, I had steak and ale pie which was delicious. Service was great and had a pleasant time.

615pm on a Friday night called in for some tea . I was wearing all black under armour top and bottoms and adidas trek all black no markings or names . Restaurant had two people in it as I enquired about a table I was REFUSED ! Said no tracksuits or trainers . I am 60 years of age 🙄 so off we went . Big mistake I eat out a lot and tip well won’t be back. Your a Lee’s pub with a delusion of grandeur ! In Oldham wow heard it all now . Won’t be back Reply by landlord now I understand and agree he is correct so will change my review to 4 stars Apologies I was wrong in this instance Added to this review was a recent visit when I was dressed appropriately for this pub . Ordered food quick happy staff service not an issue . Pub spotless and obviously kept well . Food though although well presented was just ok not good enough to be on our must go again list . Saw what I can only assume is the landlord in a JW Lees bodywarner chatting with a customer who wanted to book . I’d be concerned large eating space place was empty . Yes nice pub , not cheap , well run but food is average . Example 3 cheese cauliflower cheese an additional charge but boiled florets with a bit of cheese sprinkled on and microwaved isn’t proper food . Landlord get in your car pop up to the church inn uppermill, old pub, not that clean , people rough as toast wear what they want .! But boy is the food spot on . Revisit 8/4/25 Went for a quick drink and lunch today not been in quite a while so gave it a go. Starters belly pork was amazing tasty and fresh but the chilli cheese nachos not so good I’m afraid insipid liquid cheese and a spoonful of chilli with stale nachos not a good start but have to say belly pork perfect . Fish and chips to follow one small one large . Asked could they be lightly battered and they was perfect very nice indeed . Chips frozen but edible. Fish very good . Upgrade of a slice of bread and butter and chip shop curry good but when are restaurants going to start taking butter out of the fridge they cannot be spread much too hard . Overall great lunch . Nachos and chips disappointing but fish and pork belly plus the Manchester craft lager excellent. Nearby Lees’ pubs in Rochdale I recently reviewed should take note Served by young man behind the bar very helpful and friendly and the chap who has to be the landlord very welcoming and never stopped once when we was in replenishment of soap in toilets rushing about inside and out this guy works hard. Spotless faultless pub run very well , food quality gone up one star from last visit

All of the food was cooked to perfection and the drinks were cold and fresh.Bacon was a bit too crispy but still good.Burgers are delicious definitely coming again.

Delicious food for Xmas day. Table was decorated beautifully and with crackers , napkins and a candle
