“I had been there in the 80s with my brothers and cousin. Never thought I would be able to revisit. Great atmosphere, food and service. It's a bit out of the way for someone staying in Manchester, but if you find yourself in Bury on the Rochdale Rd, turn left onto Birtle Rd. You won't be disappointed.”

“Incredible standard of food with the most welcoming staff and atmosphere. The summer special seafood platters are definitely superior to similar food I've experienced in many UK seaside spots and restaurants. It's just marvellous! The standard and quality of Oxford's regular menus are also way above the general standard of many pubs claiming to offer the 'best' home cooked food. I'm a good cook myself and very fussy about paying for food that I often feel I can produce better at home. But when I visit 'The Oxford', I feel relaxed and confident that I am getting a really welcome and high-quality treat. Their 'specials' are always different and extensive, which makes the menu even more exciting. This review is not based on a one-off visit, but due to family circumstances, we visit regularly every fortnight. One of our family is also gluten intolerant, and one of the main reasons we come here is because he is always given a decent and imaginative choice of food. The quality is always consistent, which says a great deal about the standards and expectations set by the excellent hosts/owners and the lovely staff they employ. Highly recommended experience. Definitely go and try it... but if it's Friday or the weekend... book to avoid disappointment! Well done, Team McNeeney!”

“Just come back from a really lovely Christmas meal here. The food was good and well presented, and they coped very well with a large party of 30 plus people. I had a smoked salmon starter, followed by a Cajun spiced sweet potato roulade which was an imaginative use of the ingredients, and nicely spiced so it had plenty of kick but wasn't over spiced. The vegetables were well cooked without being overcooked (it's a bugbear of mine that some places serve them almost raw). A very nice dessert of toffee apple crumble cake with custard rounded the meal off, and all washed down with a very respectable bottle of Malbec. The service was good and friendly and the atmosphere was also good. The whole place is clean and it feels roomy and airy - you aren't crammed in cheek by jowel (something else I hate). I will be very happy to return for another meal here - the Sunday lunch menu looks good! Thanks to everyone for a lovely meal in very pleasant surroundings.”

“Came here for evening tea with my Fiance and my little 4 year old child. Was served at the bar by a polite bar man called Tom he was well mannered and very polite. I had a carvery my partner tried one of there burger meals and our 4 year old child enjoyed her chicken piecemeal. We later enquired about booking for Christmas dinner later this year as we hear one of the chefs recommend Christmas lunch to another costomer and that they had already began taking orders this year. So we was greeted by the on duty manager called Ash who explained everything to us so why we was there we decided to book there and then for Christmas 2025 dinner. Can I just say that Tom & Ash are a credit to you establishment and we will be back again soon.”
