John Milne Table Table — Restaurant in Rochdale

Called in for Breakfast on Saturday before a long drive hoping that a full cooked all you can eat breakfast would tick all the boxes to start our day. Unlike most of the Premier Inn breakfasts this was an order ur food rather than a buffet style with ready to eat food, this meant we waited 50minutes from arriving and ordering our food til it arrived to our table at which point it was missing the sausages which on my order was 1/3 of what I asked for. Not great at all. Add to that the staff were very vocal at congratulating each other on how well they had done today within earshot of our table at how empty it was, maybe the reason it was empty was because people didnt order seconds as it was awful. An example of this was a family at a neighbouring table that left moments after their food arrived and were not happy with how poor it was.

Think a long hard look at not only food preparation quality but a reversal to the more commonly found buffet style service will yield better food and service. But if you wish to continue to take orders better more consider communication of orders from table to kitchen so people’s food is right first time and cook it properly snd get orders out in a...

We used to come here years ago ...loved it (found it hard to get a table ...always booked up )..on this occasion so dissapointed (firstly on entering the building )looked dirty and had a stale smell ...we asked for a table for 2 ...took her a while to find one (Rebecca). We.found it amusing as there were many tables vacant (and stayed that way while we were there).we said to her seems very quiet ...she said it is for a Sunday ...lol!..table the waitress took us to was dirty...(I went for the spray /cloth ...cleaned myself )...looked around many tables still had dirty plates /etc on them ....the waitress who served us (was very pleasant )but I.m afraid her uniform was not clean and her finger nails were dirty ...I had chicken tikka ...(not to bad but the popudoms were chewy )...I hate to write a reveiw like this ...I (both myself and husband was shocked )as like I say years ago we loved coming here ...it was a special treat ....furniture outside needs attention also ...(were we sat looking out )there was a warped table (obv been left out there in all weathers )and 3 seating chairs from inside the building (think they need taking to the tip )...Sorry !John milne won.t...

We were staying in the adjacent Premier inn for three nights and decided to try this restaurant on site. What a BIG mistake as you are paying high prices for a pretty mediocre 'factory prepared meal'.

The standard of cooking was deplorable. The starters were just about passable, but after that it was all downhill. My fellow guest had the 'Giant Beer-Battered Haddock and Chips' which was hardly "giant" and the batter was an overcooked dark brown and the fish dry (overcooked or burned oil used). The peas appeared to be microwaved to within an 'inch of their life' - popping out of their skins.

I made the gigantic error of ordering the 'Ribs & Smoky Paprika Chicken'. The spare ribs were extremely dry, the paprika chicken, dry and burned on one side, the chips tasteless with the peas in a similarly overcooked style to my friend's.

When we were asked the customary 'Did you enjoy your meal', the waitress seemed surprised at our unexcited response. We decide not to risk the dessert and also decided that we wouldn't take up the 'special offer' of one free main course for the price of two on our further two nights at this...
