A Come Dine with Me star could soon launch a new addition into Oldham’s nightlife scene. Mark Fairley, who featured on the hit Channel 4 series with his The Old School BBQ Bus, plans to open a new speakeasy-style bar on Royton high street.
A Change of Use application was approved last week for the apartment above the hair salon Razz & Company on Middleton Road. Punters would enter through the building's concealed side entrance via a staircase before they can reach what could soon be a swish new venue called ‘The Trap Door’.
Fairley’s new project is a departure from his street food restaurant and catering service, which he delivers out of his ‘characteristic’ American-style yellow school bus. The bus was included in Come Dine with Me: The Professionals in 2022, where Fairley showed off his grilled goods.
Plans for the new bar were approved by council officers. Only one objection was received, which listed concerns such as traffic, noise, privacy, and an increase in antisocial behaviour in the area including ‘public urination’.
A public comment read: “We believe that another [drinking] establishment is not needed and will exacerbate problems of anti-social behaviour, drunkenness and general safety of the public.
“It has been noticed that there has been an increase in vandalism and public spaces being improperly used, with public urination being a particularly unpleasant problem.”
Planning officers have responded by banning the use of an upstairs balcony as a smoking area, which has been relocated to the alleyway between the two neighbouring commercial buildings on Middleton Rd in amended plans. The new plans also involve the building of a high fence to shield surrounding residents from unwelcome onlookers and noise.
