The Best Restaurants in Mossley, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

A must-try! Located in Stalybridge’s up and coming town centre, SK15 is a perfect addition to the town’s bustling food scene. When you walk in, you are greeted by a palate of really pleasant light green, which gives you a calm feeling. There are booths, which are really roomy and nice to sit on. The atmosphere is calm and pleasant, while the staff are really nice and enthusiastic. Drinks: If you order any drinks, check out the homemade raspberry lemonade! It is so invigorating and refreshing, a perfect feast for your tongue! It’s great to pair with Sunday Roasts (more about that in a minute). Starter: I ordered the Soup of the Day. I don’t remember the name, but it was some sort of tomato soup mixed with a warming kick of chilli. The soup itself was comforting with a spicy kick, and it was paired with warm bread. The bread itself was crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside - the perfect bread, great for soaking up all of the soup! It was also paired with nice butter, which was delicious. Sunday roast: Now, let me explain the roast. You have a choice of: - 28-day aged roast sirloin beef (served pink). - Garlic + Thyme roasted chicken supreme. - Slow cooked pork belly. All served with: - Garlic and rosemary roasted potatoes. - Maple glazed carrots. - Tenderstem broccoli. - Honey + mustard parsnips. - Braised red cabbage. - Carrot and swede puree. - Grandad’s stuffing. - Unlimited proper gravy! I ordered a few other sides as well: - Truffle mash. - Chilli Tenderstem broccoli. Now this roast is a must try. I ordered the chicken. It was nice and tender. The truffle mash was really smooth and buttery, the Chilli Tenderstem broccoli was crunchy and spicy, the carrot and swede puree is a underrated gem (one of my personal favourites - really tasty), the stuffing was unlike any other (you wouldn’t find this quality at Toby’s), the carrots and parsnips were tasty (a perfect contrast of sweet with the savoury Sunday roast), and the roast potatoes - mmm! So crunchy and flavourful! Dessert: For this course, I wanted to go off with a bang so I picked two desserts that I was really excited for. 1. Chocolate garden pot - Edible chocolate garden pot filled with dark chocolate ganache. 2. Glazed cherry cheesecake - A fruity cherry cheesecake coated in a dark cherry glaze, sat on a shortbread disc. Now these were delicious. Usually, if you order something with cherry in a normal restaurant, it would taste artificial and not very nice. However, the cheesecake was really light and refreshing. It tasted quite natural and really flavourful. Kudos to the shortbread as well. The chocolate garden pot was creatively presented, like a normal garden pot with a cute carrot on top. But surprisingly, every part of the garden pot (including the pot itself) was edible. The dark chocolate was strong so I added some cream and it was a game changer. The cream itself isn’t fluffy like whipped cream but smooth and silky, and it almost tasted like milk. In fact, I was eating the cream with my spoon as well, it was that nice! Overall, if you are looking for a good spot for a proper Sunday roast in Stalybridge, this place is for you!

Great food, servers were great for checking we had everything. Sunday Roast was absolutely incredible as was the desserts. Only critism is that it was cold. The plates/ dishes were hot but sadly the food was cold.

The Brunch at SK15 is one of the absolute best. I recently went for the Sunday Lunch because I enjoyed the brunch so much and it did not disappoint. Great value for money, the perfect amount of food and unlimited gravy with your Sunday Roast! Highly recommend. Shoutout to Kara for making our visit the best. I can’t wait to visit again!

Food was brought quickly and to a very high standard. I ordered a full English breakfast and my daughter went for the pancakes. I asked for no eggs or mushroom and an extra sausage and it was added with no issue, when it came I had 4 sausages and were of the highest quality, whoever grandads sausages they were made by deserves a high 5 as they certainly were quality. Was very impressed on my first visit and will definitely return soon. Highly recommended.

Superb atmosphere. Superb service. Very relaxed place with no rush. Food excellent. Our 3rd visit and will definitely be coming back. Very good prices. Pho Thong will not disappoint. Thumbs up from our party of four 👍 👍👍👍

Lovely meal this evening. Came up from Essex to come back for the food! The no1 starter (satae chicken) is wonderful. Very tasty, good portions, beautiful presentation and reasonably priced. Really enjoyed it. Thank you

Visited many times all I can say is we have never had a bad meal at Potong's, I've found the standard of food served is as good as fancy Thai restaurants in Manchester.

This truly is a hidden gem and well worth a visit. We were greeted by Lek who had a wide smile accompanied with her warm welcoming and friendly manner. We were seated instantly and given crackers whilst our drinks order was prepared. The food was authentic, delicious, fresh and full of flavour. As it has been in our previous visits. It was nice to see Lek’s husband outside of the kitchen where he cooks. Presumably helping Lek who recently had a fall. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.

We have just been and had a breakfast also aloud us to bring our dog in. The breakfast was lovely sausages are next level and he even goes to the effort of making home made baked beans and they are yummy. Definitely be back, it's a little gem hidden away.

What a gem of a place! The food is excellent. Really good quality, cooked to perfection and served piping hot. The home made baked beans alone are worth a visit. Plus, the decor and Frank Sinatra soundtrack in the background give this place a great vibe. Definitely worth a visit.

Food was absolutely amazing, will definitely be returning again. Ham hock hoagie was immense

Small hidden gem, cosy atmosphere. Staff attentive and quick service. We both had burgers, The Smoker & The Texan Show Stopper.....wow. The flavours of both were great, the portion sizes were spot on. Will be back, would reccomend to others.

Called in the pub for a drink with some of the Congleton supporters, service was very good and with a smile. The atmosphere in the pub was good with supporters from other teams, we thoroughly enjoyed our drinks and experiences. Definitely will call again when in the area.

Great pub good selection of beers great staff a good place to watch the football or party the night away

A really good local friendly pub.

Lovely friendly staff and reasonable prices. Always something going on, be it quizzes, pub games (darts/pool) or live music acts. Well worth a visit

Actually visited for a private gathering and, seeing as I was driving, couldn't sample any of the fine looking/smelling real ales available. Host was excellent and the pub's facilities are great to. I enjoyed a lovely coffee, served with a biscuit. Immediate parking isn't great but I believe that you can use the nearby rail station carpark but check first. Better still, just visit, using the train. 🙂👍

Brilliant Place, we moved here around 6 months ago and its our favourite spot in Greater Manchester, and we between us have honestly lived everywhere. Just a great place to have a drink, better place when people are invited, perfect place for the atmosphere.

Always a lovely bar to visit. Food is good. Dogs also welcome

Just moved to the area and with a place like this on the doorstep, I’m glad I did. Quality venue, quality beer and quality service at a quality price. One of those places I don’t really want to rate too highly, in case too many people find out about it, but credit where credit is due.

Great cafe, excellent food and friendly staff. Vegetarian breakfast is well worth a punt.

Best cafe is mossley by far!!!! Check out this cracking breakfast and all reasonably priced

Fab food great atmosphere the staff are lovely and great food for great prices 👍

Absolutely love this cafe. It's so reasonably-priced and friendly and the breakfasts are sublime. Michelle always remembers our order so we just go in and say 'the usual'. Lovely start to Saturday mornings

This is an unforgettable dinner for me, to celebrate my birthday, the staff are very nice and it’s surprise to have instrument playing when singing the birthday song, it’s so warm in the restaurant. Thank you Rose and Kate

We visited San Giorgio tonight for the first time for my partner birthday, and we had a great evening. The food was delicious and the staff were very polite and helpful. Their menu offers a variety of different meals, including vegan options. (Apart from the deserts) We will definitely go back again soon for another meal.

Our favourite Italian. And it so happens to be a 5 minute walk from where we live! Always fantastic food cooked to the exact same quality each and every time. The staff and manager are always friendly and helpful. Prices are justified and are reasonable. Also, offer Vegan options for my wife which is great. Thank you! See you soon

We love visiting Red Rose. It’s my favourite restaurant locally. The food is always delicious, piping hot and fresh. The staff are lovely and always helpful. The Sunday special is great value for money I’d recommend to everyone.

A constant in a world of change. Always a fantastic curry, with friendly staff and really really reasonably priced. It's often very quiet eating inside, but the staff do a good job of making you feel at home. It's that good, once a month my mates come from all around Manchester to have a curry here. High praise indeed!

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Mad to feel very welcome on arrival. The food and drinks order was taken swiftly and starters and drinks came within moments. Priced very reasonably too. Will definitely visit again soon.

Amazing food and lovely staff. Eaten in and take away many times and never been disappointed. Would recommend the Murgi Jaflongi to anyone! The best curry by far.

Nice little boozer (as they say). A good selection of beers, wines and spirits. Live sport shown if that’s your thing. An excellent quiz every week (Wednesday) and put together, with love by the host. A decent sized car park directly opposite but the train station at Mossley is close by as is the bus stop so leave the car at home and treat yourself to a drink in clean, comfy surroundings.

The tolly is a great traditional pub, large selection of drinks. Lovely setting on the canal, option to sit outside in pub garden, dog friendly and all round great pub

Didn't have food, just drinks, nice pub, nice atmosphere, very clean and toilets were exceptionally clean. Recommend

Friendly staff couldn’t do enough for us as a couple, lovely atmosphere with excellent food especially the rag pudding. On Sunday it’s only a a Sunday menu but the chef didn’t disappoint, we will be back 😁👍

Excellent countryside setting near Lydgate. Ate the light lunch of cheese & onion pie and homemade chips. Really lovely. All the food being served looked delicious. Great selection of beers from Robinsons Brewery including the potent Old Tom. Service was superb .

Never had better service anywhere and the food was amazing!! In the words or Arnold "I'll be back!" Sorry for the lack of food on the pictures I ate it all and there were enough to feed a family of four!

We often visit and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and high quality pub food. The staff are incredibly personable and welcoming and went out of their way to make our meal as enjoyable as possible. The last few times we visited the barman was a young lad called Kyle. He was an amazing host and a standout amongst the other staff. He knew the menu inside out and was able to make recommendations and answer questions surrounding particular dietary requirements. Alongside this he was bubbly, full of life and generally everything you could ask of a barman / waiter. He’s was a fun character who was able to engage conversation whilst balancing the other customers. I have worked in bars and provided table service, I was very impressed at how attentive he was to the bar, tables, and is how very customer focused he was. When we visit we look forward to seeing him and the high level of customer service is why we keep coming back!
