Junction Inn - Oldham

My partner and I came across this pub a few weeks ago when we were redirected off the M62. It was a beautiful sunny day and the pub looked inviting, so we promised ourselves we would stop there for lunch the next time we crossed the Pennines. It turned out to be a great decision! We started off by ordering drinks, I chose a pint of Lee's Summer Ale which was a bit sharp for my taste. I mentioned this to the lady serving us and she kindly offered to replace it with a bitter at no extra cost, which was much more to my liking. The menu offered a good variety of options and we decided on the fish sharing platter. The portion was generous, with freshly fried cod goujons that had a deliciously light batter. The homemade tartare sauce and warm bread complemented the dish perfectly. Overall, it was a satisfying and enjoyable meal. If you ever find yourself passing through the Pennines, I highly recommend making a detour to this pub off the M62 and treating yourself to a meal here.

The restaurant offers fantastic food at fair prices, with good service, a pleasant atmosphere, and a cozy log fire. It is a beautiful pub in a great location where you can also enjoy some nice drinks.

Food outstanding staff very attentive lovely atmosphere very cosy lovely Christmas decorations very inviting

The food here is second to none, had a steak and was SO delicious, my favourite place to dine these days

Excellent food from start to finish. Great service and a good selection. The butchers board was a nice change from the usuals. My son and husband said the salt and chicken burger was a winner.
