The Moorcock Inn

went for a meal start of the year here and was fantastic so decided to take my family (5) first waited about 20mins before we got asked if we would like a drink. we then ordered starters 4 turned up after a average wait but 1 didnt trying to get the attention to let them know finally got attention then took 10 mins to receive. 4 good my soup was i think potato and the chef had placed a green juice skirted over the top the soup was of very poor quality and the green taste was vile left all after 2 spoon fulls even my son thought it was awful did'nt complain but when they decided to empty table this full bowl of soup waitress did'nt even ask was it okay. Then Mains ordered steak well done with peppercorn sauce as i don't like my meat with blood it came and all the others but no peppercorn sauce told the waiter then waited 10 mins to turn up when i cut into my steak it was bloody so another poor request and at the end got a bill for over £150 we had to leave more food that we ate as the quality of others was not great standard.

New owners and a new vibe. We enjoyed having a few drinks in the bar area and then dining in the restaurant, the food was fabulous. The service from Luke and Lilly and the chat with the Chef Reece enanced our visit, we had a great time. Summer time on the outside decking sounds great.. BBQ, Bar and live music with stunning views. It's well worth a visit.

A fantastic stay here once again. Needed somewhere for a couple of nights to attend an event in Rochdale and The Moorcock fitted the bill perfectly. Very quick check in, even though the bar was quite busy, and a great, comfortable room. Good choices on the menu and a decent selection of beers on tap. Excellent staff throughout with a special mention for Harry, Leah and Erin, thank you for your help with the bottle collection.

We find the Moorcock a bit hit and miss. Had a really good sea bass meal there one Friday, but a poor pork and apple sauce baguette a few weeks later on a Tuesday - baguette way too dry and hard for me. Gravy way too watery for me. So my thoughts would be to avoid quiet days at the beginning of the week as maybe the better chefs are on rest days.

Went in for Sunday lunch with family. Lovely clean pub with an amazing outdoor seating area (unfortunately it was raining). Great extensive menu and the food came quickly and was delicious. Only marked down slightly as felt some dishes were expensive (really wanted to try burger but £2 for a slice of cheese seemed a but excessive) apart from that really enjoyed the food fish and chips was delicious as well as the roasts. Lovely staff full of northern charm

I’m really impressed, we visited the Moorcock for dinner before it changed hands and we could eat the food it was that bad. We came up on a beautiful sunny day and sat outside, ordered some food and were really impressed by it. The decor is so much better, the food is lovely, the staff are very friendly and the views well they never change. We loved the outdoor pod for events they’ve put up, the owners are obviously keen on investing and making the place even better. Will return
