Fairview Inn - Rochdale

Think they are still closed as no answer on the phone

Nice pub. Just a shame about the view of the industrial estate

I booked a table for breakfast on the 16 April 2021 at 8:30. When I arrived at the fair view Inn it was closed. I tried to open all the doors and banging on windows to try to get the staff to open. The staff Did not seem to arrive yet. I tried phoning the inn up to see if they would be opening soon but yet again still no answer. The play area was full of old Brocken benches and looked abandoned. I was left wondering why they accepted my booking and why they did not contacting me if they would not be reopening yet.

Clean, attentive and friendly. I had the best blue Steak ever and I've had many many blue steaks. Had a starter which we shared, maybe shouldn't have had it because the main course was more than enough. Enjoyed every bite.Love having breakfast there too. Even though you can't get your own, you can still have whatever and as many of whatever as you want.

Visited on 4/11/20. Host told us our table was ready, went over to the table and was still dirty with previous guests plates and drinks. Waited for waiter to clean table, waited around 20 minutes and waiter still hadn’t been over despite walking past the table on multiple occasions. Had to call the waiter over to clean the table, asked for food menus and asked for our drinks order to be taken. Once asked tables were cleaned promptly and menus brought over. Drinks order had been taken (2 drinks). When received the menu we were warned by other customers that the restaurant had no peppers and was also advised by them not to order any steaks or carvery as there was high waiting times. Drinks took around 25 minutes to arrive by barmaid. Had to call waiter over again to take our order and a second drinks order. Ordered 2 starters to share, nachos and halloumi. Starters were brought over and waiter said he would be back shortly with cutlery for the starter. Shared and finished the nachos and cutlery still hadn’t been brought over, no sign of waiter. Drinks arrived and had to ask barmaid to get cutlery. Barmaid brought cutlery over and obviously halloumi was cold due to long waiting times. Waiter came over and took away finished plates and said he will let the chef know we are ready for mains. During the wait, customers around our table were complaining about their food and the long waiting times which wasn’t enjoyable, waiter was also only bringing one plate at a time to a party of five with a wait in between each plate. Mains came, sausage and mash fish and chips. Both ate half as wasn’t enjoyable. Whilst finishing drinks and waiting to ask waiter for bill, customers at the side of us walked out due to the long waiting times, this man had waited around 40 minutes just to pay the food bill. Do not blame him for walking out. Would not recommend.
