The flying horse in Rochdale is one of the best pubs I've ever been in. That is a statement I never foresaw myself saying until I visited today. It is magnificent! I love it and that's all I need to say.
They have an amazing Sunday Lunch and great beer selection. The staff are amazing and really happy to help.
My mate and I decided to go for a pub lunch and he suggested Rochdale plus more importantly The Flying Horse. He drove as he rarely drinks and the weather was classic North West rain. However, the pub was warm and welcoming so we sat at a table next to the cosy open fire. While we there the fire was topped up with firewood on a regular basis, by a member of staff. I had a pint of Ossett White Rat beer and my mate had a pint of lemonade. We were served promptly by attentive pleasant staff. As I am a member of CAMRA , I showed my card and the beer price already reasonably price, was further discounted. See the picture of the large selection of hand pull beers and prices. We both decided to have a Lancashire classic: “Rag pudding”with proper chips, mushy peas and gravy. Normally £8.75 but two meals for £14! Another bargain! I had a second pint of beer, then we had a desert that was generous in size, served by a friendly young woman. On finishing our dinner it was time to go out into cold outside. Used the toilets that were clean as expected. I can thoroughly recommend this pub / restaurant
A formidable choice of cask ale with the added bonus of CAMRA discount. Extensive food menu as well. Exterior undergoing renovations in this must see district of Rochdale. Very handy for the Metrolink if travelling from further afield.
Great food menu with some good options on it for a decent price, and it tastes good too. Lovely staff, nice atmosphere during the day and even better at night. And there is also an big selections of drafts and casks.
