Light bulbs hang from the ceiling give an industrial look but when paired with stylish furnishings, it creates a warm, homely ambiance. The Oak Bar & Grill, Oldham Road (Image: Newsquest)We arrived for 2pm and so we enjoyed the daytime menu, for starters ordering black pudding bon bons, and salt and pepper chicken wings.
