Good choice of seating areas. It was nice to sit outside during the heat. Food was okay - cheese pie was too cheesy for even a cheese lover like me - would've preferred a balance of potato filling. Curry sauce was very salty and chips soggy, not crispy at all.

Absolutely one of the best pub restaurants Bolton has to offer. Whether you just want a drink or two with friends or come in for a full three course meal, you really can’t go wrong. The staff work very hard to please, always friendly and welcoming whilst management working behind the scenes strive to improve customer service. Sunday lunch is fabulous ( Yorkshire puddings to die for) and has to be experienced. Keep up the awesome work everyone.

Visited 20/09/2022, called ahead and made a reservation. Arrived and greeted fairly quickly and taken to assigned table for the group. Drinks order taken and then once arrived then ordered food. Came fairly quickly and then once done ordered from desserts menu (provided separately). Service great and majority of the food was given great reviews from the group. The steak ciabatta feedback was not as good as previously had (could be a one off). Good service provided by all the team who looked after the group. Worth going for a meal, and during nice weather to sit in the outside area too is recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Visited again for another Sunday roast. Delicious. We ordered a bottle of red wine, received white and rolled with it. The atmosphere was vibrant, as a match was playing in the pub. It brought life to the busy restaurant. Roasts were great, just as before. Staff was busy and very pleasant definately enjoy the depth and flavors of this filling meal. Visited again with an out of town guest and thoroughly enjoyed it again.
