About

The Sheldon Arms is a quintessential family‑friendly pub located just off the A6140 in Ashton‑Under‑Lyne. With a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a classic British menu, it’s a favourite for locals and visitors alike. The core of its culinary offering is a generous daily rotisserie and carvery, featuring roasted meats, vegetables and Yorkshire puddings served with unlimited gravy. On Sundays the pub treats guests to a celebrated Sunday roast, dish‑perfect for a relaxed family meal or a catch‑up with friends. Seasonal menus also highlight special items such as slow‑roasted black‑garlic porchetta, slow‑cooked prawns and indulgent desserts. The extensive beer garden is stocked with JW Lees cask ales, premium lagers, spirits and hot mulled wine, offering a comfortable setting for outdoor dining. Beyond its food, The Sheldon Arms hosts a flexible banquet space – the “Vault” – that can accommodate up to 100 guests for private hire, birthdays or corporate events. The semi‑private restaurant area is available for up to 60 seated guests, making the venue ideal for small parties and meetings. Whether you’re looking for hearty pub fare, a cozy atmosphere for a night out, or a venue for a special celebration, The Sheldon Arms delivers on food, value and friendly service.
