Overpriced
by Nevereveragain
We attended a friends wedding, just like the bride, the day and weather was beautiful. This had nothing to do with the hotel though. The food supplied by the hotel was appalling, especially the duck strip starter, the main course meat was tough and tasteless, with a sparse amount of dry poorly cooked vegetables for the amount of people sitting at our table, the sweet consisted of one small profiterole welded to the plate by a smear of chocolate and accompanied by a small blob of synthetic cream. The bar prices were extortionate £5 for two halves of Lager. Like other reviews said, disabled facilities were inadequate. The best part of the hotel is the grounds, that is if you are not disabled, and the view at the front across the Pennines.
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Travel Tips for Oldham
Shopping
by Myfanwe
The Centre of Oldham provides a great shopping experience with many high street and independent shops scattered generously around the town. There is a pedestrianised shopping street, two indoor shopping arcades not to mention the great indoor and outdoor markets which have wonderful stalls selling fresh locally produced foods.
I'm sure the shops here get very busy on the weekends but when I visited (on a Monday) there was a lovely laid back feeling to the town. The Street entertainment - the Theme tune from Titanic will never be the same again!
Oldham Carnival
by Evenith666
Although Oldham has a long tradition of Carnivals, the current Annual Oldham Carnival started life around 1900 to create "welcomed respite from the tedium of everyday life". The carnival is held mid-to-late summer and aims to raise money for various charities. It often featured people of local importance, brass, jazz and military bands, a Carnival Queen, people in fancy dress, dancers and decorated floats. Local entertainers and celebrities were also asked to join.
The carnivals route began in the town centre, wound its way along King Street and ended with a party in Alexandra Park. The carnival fell out of favour and popularity in the late 1990's, but however was ressurected in 2006 and rebranded the Peoples Carnival.
Black Pudding
by Balam
Black Pudding is and has always been popular around Lancashire. I love it with a Hot Mustard.
Black pudding has an interesting history with many people thinking that it is just a Lancashire thing but it isn't. Black pudding as it is made in Lancashire is a blend of onions, pork fat, Pigs Blood, oatmeal and flavourings. while looking up info for this i found Sources that indicate the sausage (as that is what it is really) has its origins in ancient Greece with Homer's Odyssey making a reference to the 'roasting of a stomach stuffed with blood and fat'.
Today black Pudding (or Black sausage) is a staple of many menus across Europe and comes in many different guises like the Spanish morcilla which makes an excellent tapas, Blutwurst is a German type while the Budin Noir is a delicacy in France. This old medieval dish has quite a fanatical following and the humble black pudding has a festival dedicated to it in northern England. In Ramsbottom Just outside Bury (Greater Manchester) There is a World Black Pudding Throwing Championship. The black puddings are put into womans tights and thrown at a large stack of Black puddings, The winner is whoever knocks the most off.
In France so many puddings are consumed in a black pudding fair that is held in Normandy every year that if you were to lay them end to end they would stretch about 5 km,
The Andalucia region of southern Spain hold pig-killing fiestas every November to celebrate the collection of the winter suply of morcilla's, hams and sausages.
Some of the best Black Puddings are made in Bury just outside Manchester in the North of England were they are a great feature on the Famous Market.

Hot Pot
by Balam
Ingredients
900g/2lb best end and middle neck British lamb, sliced into chops
1 tbsp groundnut oil
butter
4 lamb's kidneys, skinned, cored and cut into bite-sized pieces
3 onions, sliced into 1cm/½in wedges
1 tbsp plain flour
570ml/20fl oz freshly boiled water
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 fresh bay leaf
2 thyme sprigs
900g/2lb potatoes, cut into 2cm slices
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
Method
1. Pre-heat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas 3.
2. Trim the lamb of any excess fat and pat dry with paper towel.
3. Heat the oil and a small knob of butter in a large heavy-based frying pan until very hot. Add the lamb, two or three pieces at a time, and fry until brown, turning once. Once browned, put them in a wide 3.5-litre casserole. Brown the pieces of kidney.
4. Once the meat and kidney are in the casserole, add the onions to the pan. Fry over medium heat, adding a little more butter to the pan if necessary, for about ten minutes until browned at the edges.
5. Stir in the flour then gradually add the hot water and Worcestershire sauce, stirring until the flour and liquid are smoothly blended. Season with salt and pepper and bring to simmering point. Pour over the meat in the casserole.
6. Add the bay leaf and thyme, then arrange the potato slices on top in an overlapping pattern. Season the potatoes and dot the surface with a few dabs of butter.
7. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and put in the oven. Cook for 1 hour 30 minutes. Towards the end of cooking time, remove the lid and brush the potatoes with a little more butter. Then place under the grill to crisp up. Alternatively, remove the lid and increase the heat to 200C/400F/Gas 6 for the last 15 minutes of cooking.
8. Remove the bay leaf and thyme before serving.
