Top Astley Arms - Tameside

Quite possibly the worst meal I've had in a pub. Firstly, few people in our family group got their first choice no fish, no skinny fries, no steak, pretty much only leaving burger or pie as an option from the main menu. When the food arrived, the burgers didn't come with onion rings as stated on the menu. No mention of this when the burgers were served we had to ask where they were and the only response was they didn't have any, no offer of a price reduction. The burgers were burnt, the chips were dreadful, like they'd been cooked days ago and reheated. The pie had minimal filling and the pastry was rock hard. If I'd cooked those meals at home, I'd be disappointed to have paid full price for them was outrageous. .The tapas meal arrived 10 minutes after everybody else's and looked better but very greasy. The waitress was friendly but never asked how I meals were. Plates were not cleared until we were about to leave. Our table for 10 had been booked the day before for 6pm, so there is no excuse for not having food in when we were expected. As this was a family birthday celebration, it didn't feel appropriate to risk an awkward scene by complaining but we will never return and would not recommend.

Well lovely clean pub Pint carling pricey but a nice pint Food Well if you like burnt food then this is the place to eat Chips burnt Steak Well done more like cremated glad I asked for medium lol Mushrooms think they must have finely sliced us 1 each If chef made effort to ensure food was cooked and not burnt it would have probably a great meal but due to probably not caring about the food he serves it was all over done or burnt never have I seen such a over cooked fried egg on a mix grill as for my my steak and surf I got 4 small prawn I know food is not cheap to buy but so they can afford more than 4 prawn so safe to say we won't try another meal in this pub

I've been here several times now, the food and service is usually really good. However, on this day they were very busy short staffed. The table next to us the table of 7, review below , ate all their meals. Then embarrassed themselves by kicking off with the young waitress, then the landlady. Insisting on a full refund. I'm all for if the food is rubbish AND YOU DON'T EAT IT, request a refund. But don't eat the whole meal then complain.

The meals served after await of approx. 1.5 hrs were absolutely terrible. 7 in our party all complained. Eventually we received a full refund. And left the premises. Never to return.

Great food in a lovely decorated pub, served by a young lady called Toyah who was superbly attentive. Will definitely return 10/10
