I happened to be in Ashton Under Lyne today, a hot day.
I went into 6 different pubs that used to be good many years ago. Now they looked more like wine bars, obviously geared for younger clientele in the evenings.
I can be quite comfortable in this kind of establishment but none sold cask beer. Every pub advised me to go to Weatherspoons.
On my was back to my tram, by then I was spitting feathers, I saw The Caladonia.
What a brilliant find! Real, good ale. Folks of every age in, which is the sign of a good pub.
There were plenty of diners in and I ordered food which was excellent.
The staff were extremely friendly and wished me well when I left.
I will certainly be going back again. I have a lot of overseas visitors and they love to go in a typical English pub, few and far between these days but I will definitely be taking them into The Calidinia.

I popped in to the Caledonia for lunch this afternoon with a friend from work. I wasn’t expecting much… it looks like a dingy old man’s pub from the outside and the interior didn’t fill me with any more hope. They have tables reserved for diners only which, is a nice touch, and we were shown to one quickly by the staff. You order your food at the bar and it came very quickly. Certainly welcome when on your lunch hour! I ordered a seafood salad and my friend went for the summer chicken salad. A strange name for a garlic chicken and bacon salad especially in January! The food was really good… lots of the freshest salad with a homemade coleslaw. My seafood option consisted of some scampi, fresh prawns and tuna mayo with a seafood sauce on the side. This sounded like such a weird combination but it actually really hit the spot! My friend’s summer chicken salad was just as fresh with ‘real’ bacon and chicken. Not the horrid processed stuff you find on similar salads at some of the pub chains. The staff were attentive bringing us extra coleslaw and mayo, nothing was too much trouble and we were bid a friendly goodbye when we left. A complete surprise and something I wasn’t expecting in the middle of Ashton town centre! I’ll be back soon…

Great pub which has some super memories of many times spent with good friends. The pub is well-​appointed, the bar staff are friendly and helpful and the food is excellent value and beautifully cooked. You are under no pressure to move on after your meal and it is a great way to meet up and be able to chat with friends and not feel rushed. It is advisable to book a table before you go, especially as there are usually six of us. There is plenty of parking at the back of the pub (pay and display) and limited parking within the gates of the Caledonia. It is handy for the central shopping area and safe for children (it is on a pedestrianised street). Lovely pub, excellent food and recommended without hesitation.
