About The Baum

The Baum restaurant and wine bar is situated on Toad Lane, home of the Co-op and the Pioneer movement. Situated on a cobbled street at the centrepoint of Rochdale's heritage trail, the pub has a definite 'old world' charm.

With friendly bar staff, an extensive range of range of wines, beers and spirits, and a menu prepared freshly on the premises, it's no surprise that The Baum plays host to an ever-increasing crowd of regulars, who just keep coming back for more.

The large beer garden at the rear of the pub is an undiscovered gem which sports two gravel boules pistes and the recent addition of a dedicated smoking area.

The Baum can cater for a wide range of events, from private parties and barbecues to pre-wedding drinks. Easy access to the town centre shopping facilities and plenty of local car parking spaces, make The Baum the ideal stop-off for lunch or a daytime drink, and what better way to finish off than a trip to the Pioneer museum, which is part of the same building.
