The Diggle Hotel
A trip down memory lane

We discovered the Diggle Hotel many years ago after a two-year search. Its not really that isolated you just have to know where in Diggle you are going. The easiest way is to ask for Sam Road and follow it over the railway bridge and you can’t miss it.
Our visit to this traditional English pub was like taking a trip down memory lane. The pub is time-honoured in a conventional manner in that it is unspoiled by modern day designers and serves genuine real ales such as Black Sheep and Bombardier, as well as Timothy Taylor’s championship beers at their best.
The pub is warm, cosy and like its landlady, Pauline, welcoming. It did not take long for us to feel comfortable and relaxed. We felt especially at home with the low volume background music gently taking us back to the 50s. It is certainly not a place for out and out ravers.
For diners there is an A La Carte menu and two specials boards to choose from. Some of the dishes are well-known favourites, but others are delightfully different – like the choice of Saddleworth made sausages if you go for the bangers and mash. The Diggle Hotel specialises in good wholesome homemade food, prepared and cooked in-house from locally purchased produce.
I ordered the Homemade Steak and Kidney Pie recommended to me by one of the regulars. Made from Pauline’s own secret recipe, it was served piping hot in an earthenware dish and topped with a delicious crust. Accompanied by chips, carrots and cauliflower; the vegetables were cooked with just a slight hint of crispiness - exactly to my liking.
My wife was equally impressed with her selection; a tasty Vegetable Lasagne served with garlic bread and salad. We rounded off an excellent lunchtime meal with coffee and fresh cream at a total cost of around £12 for the two of us.
