Oldham's Toby Carvery has made yet another exciting announcement which is being celebrated by residents.

The carvery, which sits on Burnley Lane in Chadderton, revealed it has "extended" its popular spring deal where diners can pile their plates for just £5.

The offer is only open to those aged over 60 and can be grabbed every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 12pm until 3pm.

The carvery initially rolled out the over 60s meal deal in spring, but said it will now continue for the next two weeks until Wednesday, June 21.

Residents are pleased with the extension with some writing on social media that the deal is "good" and suitable for their families.

"This and my pensioner's train ticket - I'm quids in. Can't believe I've waited all my life for this", one man joked.

The news comes as the carvery made another announcement that was welcomed by Oldhamers last month.

In a post on social media, the pub and restaurant said customers can bring their dogs inside the bar area and the beer garden for the first time.

Reacting to the news, a woman said: "I will be walking up more often now" while another wrote: "This changes everything."
