Streetbridge Inn — Restaurant in Oldham

The venue is lovely and the girl who ran the the bar for us all night was absolutely wonderful, but that's where it ends.

We had a party last weekend, as we were setting up, the man who I'm assuming was the manager came into the bar area talking overly loud to his colleague that "he didn't need to supervise the party tonight, he will just watch the cameras all evening" to make a point to me that we were on CCTV. I'm not sure what type of custom the Streetbridge is used to, but it found me feeling like it was a warning.

The DJ asked if he was allowed to use one of the two screens for karaoke, he was told no. We made do with what we had, and we did have a nice night thanks to the DJ letting us use his laptop to sing the lyrics to songs.

At the end of the night my mum was told to pop every balloon or take them home with her and to make sure everywhere was clean. My mum asked if the balloons could be stored for the night and she would pick them up first thing. She was told no, but they were happy to store the 21 balloon in the cellar. My mum had to pop each balloon which cost a fortune to inflate. She did receive the terms and conditions of using the room and she understood any mess or decoration would have to be cleared up before leaving, however I did think that refusing to store a handful of balloons until morning would have been okay. Apparently not.

For such a lovely venue in a great location the whole way it was ran that night was just weird. We were all left feeling very child like with all the do's and don'ts. We were a party of maybe 20 people or so who just wanted to celebrate a 21st birthday. The whole evening felt like there was a dark cloud over us and the thought of being "watched all night" made a few guests...

The first time at this location; I want to provide a factual account of my experience, so others considering booking this location can make extra arrangements for their invited guest. The function room is surely to be AVOIDED. We had a Christening gathering which was appropriately no more than 50 people with babies, toddlers and parents. We had our own catering but we had a LICENSED bar for the purchase of drinks. The room had NO VENTILATION; but had an emergency standardised exit door which we had to open. All guests were dressed appropriately in suits, gowns etc and were made EXTREMELY uncomfortable with the heat of the room; everyone's clothing was saturated with perspiration. There was no means of keeping guests comfortable, who complained of the heat. So, to ensure every invitee is enjoyably happy 😊 take measures of either using mobile fans or purchasing individual fans for guests. I spoke to staff to see what can be done; the response was negative; everyone continued as best possible to enjoy the function. No one was in disrupte; I am from Texas, USA and I may be spoiled with the fact...

The reason I was here is because of a friend's mum's wake. The place it's self was ok we were in the function room but I did go into the main room which had plenty of space and nice seating area dart board to have a few games on and a up to date jukebox "electronic" decent prices for the drinks also had decent members of staff . Only a 3 star because the buffet was arranged by my friend with the streetbridge inn. And I wouldn't recommend anyone else asking the streetbridge inn to sort the food with out. A joke wasn't the word maybe 10 barms with cream cheese and ham and they were cut in half so 20 little butties a few brownies maybe 5 full size cut into 4 so 20 little pieces some little burger bites and I do mean little and some chips and they were nasty I ate half of 1 and left them on the plate I don't understand why you would have cooked chips in a buffet there was other food but nothing else worth the effort of trying to get. Also a lot more people there than 20 so honestly do your own buffet or hire someone else to do it...
