A popular carvery in Oldham has announced a major change to its rules which is proving a hit with residents.

Toby Carvery on Burnley Lane, Chadderton, revealed that it will now permit diners to bring their dogs inside the premises.

In a post on social media, the pub and restaurant, which is renowned for its Sunday roast dinners, said customers can bring their furry friends inside the bar area and the beer garden.
