Smoke Yard - Oldham

Booked a table for me and my colleagues to have food and cocktails. Had the choice of some amazing food and cocktails as well as a nice atmosphere. Ella was such an amazing server and really looked after our needs all evening and was easy to have a laugh with and offered to make cocktails on request! Couldn’t have asked for a better waitress. Really made the evening

Our 13 minute wait for food. I used to love this restaurant but it’s clearly been took over by someone new. The past few years it’s not been the same as it was when it first opened by (Luke and ata its now poorly run waiters chit chatting amongst themselves instead of asking people for food orders. One of the servers was absolutely amazing who took our food order I didn’t catch her name but she was lovely. The food was really nice and I will never knock the food but the service alone will put me off for life, waiting 1 hour and 13minutes for food is ridiculous I understand food is prepared from scratch but downstairs was not busy at all also waiting 10/15 minutes for a glass of coke is just as bad. I’ve been in some of the biggest busiest restaurants and never waited 1 hour 13 mins for food. We noticed they served food upstairs first and then downstairs, Causing my fiancé to nearly walk out 50 minutes had passed we asked the waitress and she said 10 Minutes but we was sat waiting still by this point we got ready to just pay for the drinks and just leave. the food finally arrived a couple walked out and said waiting 50 mins plus for food never coming here again, side note if the restaurant is running slow it’s common curtsey before you even take a seat they should tell you it’s going to be a 1 HOUR 13 minute wait for food. We would’ve gone elsewhere unfortunately Won’t be going back again.

I m from out of town but the legend of Oldham Smoke yard travels far and wide. I arrived early but was entertained by Fay the manager and Ella on service. Charming hosts both of them. When the rest of my party arrived they swung into gear taking coats and bringing drinks. Ella was charming the guest and taking the orders . Only two of us ordered starters . I had macaroni cheese balls with a barbecue sauce. Man I didn’t know I was hungry until these babies arrived. I wolfed them down before being presented with a rump stake better than any I ve tasted in a long while. All the sides were served with it including fresh cold slaw tomatoes and mushrooms. Ella kaput the drinks coming then took orders for the dessert. I didn’t think I had room until I saw Biscoff cheesecake. The champion of deserts did not disappoint. Two types of cream served with a t. This literally hit the sweet spot. In terms of value for money we get are the best in the business. I ve paid twice as much for food I ve not enjoyed half as much. Nothing was too much trouble for the girls and even chef popped out to say hello and receive our compliments on the food. Thank you Smokeyard for the perfect night out.

First time visit. fantastic service and excellent good value food. Lovely location and extensive menu. Had the Brooklyn Burger. The fries were fab possibly home cooked or very very good frozen chips.

Slow service. We had to chase for everything. Waitress more interested in chatting to her colleague and the kitchen staff. Expensive for what you get.
