Oldham's Egyptian Room food hall - why you should visit

The Egyptian Room food hall in Oldham opened over a year ago in the restored Old Town Hall building. Despite its Victorian grandeur and five food traders including Ply, Tuk Tuk, The Famous Sumo, Smash n Dunk, and Seacoles, the venue faces low footfall issues. During a Tuesday afternoon visit, only four traders were open with around five tables occupied. The Eatery Bakery left after six months citing insufficient footfall. Local residents interviewed said they rarely visit, preferring Manchester or other Oldham establishments like Nando's, Green Room cafe, German Doner Kebab, or Fox and Pine pub. The venue offers lunchtime deals and evening entertainment, operating Tuesday-Saturday 9am-11pm and Sunday 9am-8pm.
