The Diggle Hotel — Restaurant in Oldham

My husband and I have eaten here in the past, last time I will admit was appropriately 9 years ago, I can say we have never had a bad meal until now.|The whole experience was dire from arrival to departure.|On arrival there were 3 men in the bar who were very loud watching An equally loud TV. In hindsight we should have just left then but as we have always had good food before we stayed, only wish we had left then! After buying a drink we were given a very limited menu, we went and found a table in the deserted dining area . Oh I know the warning signs were there we just expected it to be as good as before. |One of the men in the bar area shouted that the beef was just out of the oven and it was the best beef!! So we said we would have the roast beef, we were then asked if it was a sandwich or meal we said a meal.|When it arrived it was on an oblong plate and looked like a dogs dinner. |The beef was mainly in lumps and so dried up we couldn’t get a fork or knife into it, the potatoes we’re chip shaped and very undercooked, the peas again were undercooked, the asparagus where do I begin! well I can safely say I have never had crispy asparagus at the top with an inedible wooden two inch end!!|The TV got louder with a baby crying on some inane program/ film. The men got louder as they were preparing themselves for the Whit Walks and band contest the next day!! |So we left the Drinks and food offerings all costing £27 and walked out. |We were asked if everything was ok we didn’t answer that just said goodnight and left.|We ended up with my husband having Pie and chips from Mossley chippie and eating them in the Market Square car park. He said they were very good !! |Our one saving grace was we were not staying the night at The Diggle hotel so didn’t have to...

We didn’t stay the night this review if for the bar/ eating area. We have eaten previously at the Diggle Hotel but I will admit not for about 9 years, from past experience I was so looking forward to our meal. It was more than obvious when we walked into a nearly deserted bar area that we should really just have just left. There were 2 maybe 3 men who were very vocal watching an exceptional loud TV. There was the bar lady who gave us a menu and we took a table In the empty eating area. The menu was very limited but had roast beef on it which we heard one of the men comment had just come out of the oven and was the best beef!! So my husband went to the bar to order we were asked if it was a sandwich or meal we went for the meal. It arrived on an oblong plate and looked most unappetising, the plate contained lumps of dried out Beef so hard and dried out a fork would not pick it up, appropriately 6 fat chips which were undercooked, peas that again were undercooked and 2 spears of pencil thin crispy asparagus with tail ends that were wooden. We found the meal which alongside 2 diet cokes cost £27 to be inedible. We walked out eventually sat in the Market Square car park in Mossley eating Pie and chips from the chippy My advise is avoid the place like the plague The one saving grace for us was as we were not staying there so didn’t have to...
