The Moorcock Inn - Rochdale

Disappointg Service and food Waited a long time after being seated for drinks then waited for order to been taken Starters were good Our Steak and ale pies were nice Mash wasn't as nice as usual Our Son had mixed grill which was awful Mushroom soggy and burnt egg on top like rubber and burnt meat was very tastless and over done We had a bottle of pilnot Which was dumped on the table with 1 glass There were only a couple of tables place was empty so staff not run off feet They were very pleasant and apologetic but very very young and didn't seem trained at all Really gutted as this place is on our doorstep

Just had a sample of what is to come at the moorcock in the new year and am deeply impressed. A new chef serving excellent produce cooked really well. Started with lobster toast and bisque, followed by the best beef carpaccio with blue cheese and pickle I have had and then pork belly and tenderloin with burnt apple reduction, followed by scallop on a bed of celeriac and then sea bass and carrots in butter. Finishing with a layered pancake cake. Omg think I will be going back every week.

Recommended to us as they have a new chef. The food was okay, and we were given taster off the new menu to be launched next year, which was fantastic. The only problem was the front of house service, which was poor at best. The three young lads serving food and drink were really nice but clueless.

One of our favourite places to visit. The food is fantastic and very reasonable for the high quality that you get. On this visit we ordered the salmon and prawn salad, fish and chips and kids chicken nuggets. The salads were lovely with generous amounts of salmon/prawns. The fish was delicious, nicer than some fish and chip shops I was told, and my children cleared their plate of chicken nuggets which is a testament to how much they enjoyed them. We have always found this a very warm and welcoming establishment, with friendly staff. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Waitress was good. Most of the food was average. The fish was terrible, it had a strong unpleasant smell. The main problem were the loud uneducated yobs in the bar. Shouting racist and misogynist statements, often including expletives. Who with a braincell wants to listen to this moronic drivel in 2023? The staff didn't challenge them. Won't be going again.
