"For starters, we ordered garlic mushrooms with blue cheese sauce. I was a bit hesitant about the blue cheese, as I'm not usually a fan, but it turned out to be delightful. For the main course, I had the beef fillet with tomato sauce, and the meat was incredibly tender—it practically melted in my mouth. My friend ordered the same dish but with blue cheese sauce, and he thoroughly enjoyed it. We also shared some cheese-covered chips on the side. I love cheese, and this one was so good that it melted in my mouth and tasted heavenly with every bite. For dessert, we couldn't resist trying the sticky toffee pudding, which was rich and delicious. My taste buds are still celebrating! If I had to choose one meal to eat for the rest of my life, this would be it. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. The waitstaff were all wonderful and very attentive, checking in on us to ensure everything was satisfactory with our meals. Overall, I would rate this experience a perfect 11/10—amazing!"

"First time at the Whitehouse for at least 25 years and the place hasn’t changed one bit in a good way. Arrived at 545 on a Saturday afternoon you can’t book unless larger table over 5 but went early it was rammed already which is a good sign . Food gammon eggs very tasty lady had steak strips in a spicy sauce all enjoyed very much two pints of cider and two large red wines £52 all comparable to the other. Saddleworth must go to the Church Inn is it as good no but food still very good and serving staff great . Enjoyable will go again 7/11/2023 revisit Welcomed by staff on a miserable wet cold Tuesday afternoon . Warm inside roaring fires great start. Two large glasses of Malbec absolutely perfect Cod mornay with prawns amazing . Great food will be back Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available"

"The location and service are outstanding, but I find that the food can be inconsistent at times. It’s a lovely venue for drinks, always bustling with activity, which definitely creates a great atmosphere. There are no TVs or sports playing, which is a plus for those seeking a more relaxed experience. Overall, I would rate the rooms, service, and location all at 5."

"Small Cosy Restaurant, BIG on plaudits On the recommendation of a former dance partner, my foodie partner and I travelled to Milnrow, and a pub restaurant called The Waggon Inn. To the locals, this place is often referred to as The Back Waggon. I assume this may be because there is/used to be another place with the same name, but on the main road and close by. Besides the recommendation, I was told you HAVE to book in advance on ANY day of the week. And so Sunday was the day, and the Lunch with a starter (at a very reasonable price) was going to be the order of the day. And so, was pre-booked. This has a different ‘lay-out’ in design to any other restaurant that I have ever visited in the UK or abroad in the last forty to fifty years that I can think of. And it's different enough to add to the appeal of the place as a whole. The place itself is split into three parts, two dining areas with a placing capacity for between fifty and sixty diners. A ‘drinkers/bar section separating the two . This means the diners have easy access to the bar at any time. The concept works really well.. And on the Sunday we visited, the place was FULL with diners, really enjoying their food in this very cosy atmosphere. We both warmed to it straight away. We both decided to have the same starter and main course. Drinks: Sauvignon blanc with soda and ice and Amber lager. My partner commented (and I sampled) on the wine, it was full flavoured, you could almost ‘bite’ into the apple. Very nice indeed. Starter: 2x Homemade Chorizo Manchego Croquettes with a goodly serving of rocket salad Now, this is the first time I have tried Manchego (sheep's milk cheese) Croquettes, but my partner's eyes lit up with the plate before her. Having lived both in the Canary Isles and the USA, she was well accustomed to such dishes. And on first my bite … I have become a fan.. There was nothing left on the plates and that says it all. This wasn’t a ‘starter’ or quick snack as it was quite filling. Main: 2x Traditional Sunday Lunch and we both went for the Roast Lamb and mint sauce. Presented beautifully, this in itself was worth the price on its own. Cooked to perfection with absolutely gorgeous, hot thick gravy. The Yorkshire pudding was done in the traditional way, slightly rounded and very lightly overdone which made the outer crisp whilst the inner nicely soft (and went down a treat). No dessert/sweet this time, we were both too full. Including drinks, less than £35.00, which is excellent value, and first class service to top it off.. Would we come again, try stopping us. The midweek menu also looks far too tempting not to miss out on."
