Popular Greater Manchester pub reopens following huge six-figure revamp

A beloved Oldham pub has reopened with a new look following a huge investment.

The Summit Inn, located on Rochdale Road in Royton, has opened its doors once again following a major refurbishment which has seen it redecorated and given a new-look garden space.

Technically situated on the border between Oldham and Rochdale, the pub’s contemporary and sleek design, which mixes new decor with striking historic features and wooden beams, aims to ‘enhance’ the space to both regulars and new visitors.

Over the years, the pub has hosted a number of local events, including community fayres and Christmas markets. In the coming weeks, the family-friendly pub has a number of live shows taking place, including a performance from a Neil Diamond tribute act, as well as a Christmas Doggy Photoshoot raising money for charity.

The six-figure investment from pub operator Greene King features an updated internal decor, as well as additional indoor and outdoor seating space. Its outdoor area has also been given a thorough revamp.

The pub has four large TV screens, showcasing the latest games and events, including rugby union, football and motorsports, from the likes of Sky Sports and TNT Sports.

The pub’s refurbishment, which took two weeks to complete, also includes a new darts space, with staff hoping the move will help establish a regular darts team within the area.

Mike McCracken, general manager at the Summit Inn, said: "This refurbishment has allowed us to enhance every aspect of our offering to our customers. We hope our visitors will enjoy the new look and feel, and we can’t wait to welcome them back.”

Its new Flaming Grill menu features the likes of BBQ meat sharers, flatbreads, burgers, and classic dishes - as well as a Sunday roast offering. There will also be a number of regular special offers on both food and drink throughout the week too.

The Summit Inn is on 826 Rochdale Road, Royton, Oldham, OL2 6XF.
