The 30 Best Beers in Bolton

“Great music on a Friday by Nigel and Saturday by Daz. Wonderful cocktails and partinis - my favourite is the pretty in pink icon cocktail. Abbie is a great laugh behind the bar and Niamh has got energy for days”

“Yesterday I was walking with my baby and really needed somewhere to stop, feed and change my baby, and just to re charge as it was a stressful morning. I had dropped my car off, at a garage, in a different town miles from home. I entered the hotel and was kindly greeted by a lovely lady, who could clearly see I needed just a little help to get sorted. This lady was so kind and caring so I asked her name. The lady replied. “Irene”. I thanked her greatly for how warm and inviting she was towards me. I would like to thank you once again. Irene, you was a Rae of sunshine towards my baby and I. It was a pleasure to meet you and what a lovely lady you are! Georgia Hartley.”

“Love the staff I love the way they ask you how you are and snails at you when u go in I know them because I live up the road from there”

“Everything you need in one shop and good banter friendly convenient enjoyable visit every time Raj is the man”

“Had an amazing experience with them….. very nice place with free and secure parking their staff is quite nice and rooms are goods as per the price it quite cheap and room was clean comfortable. In toilet I would recommend rather giving soap bar, if they add body wash and hand wash would give nice impression….. really happy with them…. Planning to travel again soon”

“We are so lucky that Fiona was recommended to us. She has been walking our puppy, Watson, since he was 12 weeks old and we couldn't be happier with the service she provides. It's a relief to know that he is being cared for so well while we are at work. We look forward to receiving our notes from Fiona each day about how he's been doing and she's always on hand with advice if we need it.”

“Love this cafe. As a veggie the soup of the day was chicken but the owner James set to and made me the most delicious mushroom and sweetcorn soup ever . The prices cant be beaten in this place (large full English £4.95) and the menu extensive with a mix of English and Carribean all sounds delicious. James looks so calm under pressure as he was alone cooking and serving when we called in but everyone served in no time..my favourite place to eat when in Bolton.”

“The food was very delicious, and affordable, drinks were affordable and glad there were choices to choose. The DJ was great, a nice friendly place to celebrate with friends or partner.”

“Went for a birthday dinner, the staff were polite and pleasant throughout and the owner was beyond lovely, treating all his customers and staff with tremendous respect. The food quality is outstanding and the portions are generous with very fair prices for what you receive. 10/10 would eat there again.”

“The Royal is an hidden gem the food is outstanding all home cooked, and excellent value for money. The menu caters for all, the Sunday lunches are amazing all freshly prepared and if you don’t have room for your dessert you can take it home. The homemade pies a choice of Cheese or Meat are freshly made by Alison are a worth a try they are delicious. It is well worth a visit and the prices are extremely reasonable. The staff go above and beyond they are so friendly especially Alison & Nicola.”

“verry friendly and helpful staff.”

“Working my way through the extensive and varied menu. Pizzeria Bella Italia never disappoints. Even if you can't eat pasta there is something for everyone. My favourite starter is their garlic mushrooms....omg so divine!!! Who'd of thought how delicious the humble mushroom can be when cooked the way Bella does. I can't fault the food, quality, staff, atmosphere and magic of this lovely restaurant in Bury. It is popular with all age groups and families as well as couples. I had mussels in garlic and white wine. The veg is al dente and beautiful. I always look forward to dining here as the food and staff make you feel at home and always welcoming.”

“Guinness well good even a shamrock on every pint today”

“Great crowd of people in here I travelled 8 miles from Bury to meet up with some friends here I certainly will be back, great pint of John Smiths”

“Had food and drinks from here and I would 100% recommend the OG loaded fries! They were amazing and thank you to Chloe who made them!”

“If you’re craving truly authentic Thai food, the Unity Brook is the perfect choice. The restaurant is run by Thai chefs who bring genuine home-style cooking and traditional flavours to every dish. After three months travelling through Thailand, the authentic flavours here instantly transported us right back.”

“Went today 10-1-2025 at 16:00. It was a team meal we are all gas engineers couldn't park in the car park as are vans height is 2.4meters and the car park limit is 2 metres so had to park on a dark road, really wasn't impressed, took the first picture of the back, well make your own mind up, the front entrance is a little dated but clean and warm, very welcoming staff, was shown to our designated table at the far side of the restaurant, 8 men ordered their food with impressive staff and knowledge, drinks came first with no wait, then the poppadoms came crispy and plenty of sauces, , 15 mins later the starters came, I had the garlic chicken, it looks great chicken was dry but kinda edible, all the lads ate theirs, to be honest think the starters are expensive and small in portion size, mains came I have a mixed tandoori sizzler looks a bit of all the same, a bit of a mishmash, but it was tasty and the curry sauce that it came with was ok, it's a messy dish but didn't get much for 18quid, the staff hovered around felt somewhat uncomfortable, so the meal finished all in all was ok, would I ask or want to go again definitely no, coming out to the main road as it was dark their are small floor metal 12 inches high barriers couldn't see them fell and made a mess of my knee going to off my legs for a few weeks now really not impressed if I could had parked in the car park this wouldn't have happened”

“We arrived at the restaurant on Sunday and were greeted so warmly by the host/manager. We have been a few times to this restaurant and the bar staff recognised us which was so lovely, recognition from staff goes a long way and made us feel so warm and welcome! Drinks arrived so quickly and he even remembered what we had last time we visited which was incredible service from him. The cocktails didn’t disappoint. The service was unbelievable, at no point did we have to ask for drinks order or food order to be taken. They’re incredibly attentive here. The food is artwork, it is so fresh and home made which is exactly what you want in a lovely independent restaurant. The lighting was perfect and the music fitted the restaurant aesthetic and the time of day we arrived. I can’t fault this place whatsoever, can’t recommend it enough.”

“Lovely little pub with a warm and friendly atmosphere and the BEST loaded fries we have ever eaten. Will be going back to try the rest of the menu for a long time.”

“great local pub everyone in there is friendly and drinks are good”

“now called go Local, it sells basic grocery, and the usual household items as well as. booze. long opening hours and also does yodel parcels”

“Interesting first visit to this place. Power cut during the live show, a drunk horse that looked like it could do with a kebab, the snooker table was a bit wonky and the fruit machine appeared to pay out in Deutsche Marks. The psychic offended my dad, who isn't remotely interested in touching up children. I got white gloss on my new jacket, and there were smouldering tissues in the toilet waste bin where someone had lobbed a cigar. The door staff also made inappropriate comments about the opening hours of my girlfriend's legs. Bar staff great, but the optics could probably do with lowering a bit as they were serving shorts in vases. The new Japanese lager they were promoting certainly packs a punch and got me absolutely wasted. Kids' play area was decent with a great snake-themed bouncy castle and a Berry chew dispenser. Unfortunately I didn't get any action when we got home as the machine selling the flavoured contraceptives appeared to be 10 years out of date. Overall, best place I've been for ages. Will be back :)”

“Awesome food and creative facility. The restaurant is in a front section of a B737. A must go for aviation enthusiasts.”

“Great food. The steak on a hot stone is excellent. Friendly staff and reasonably priced considering the quality.”

“Are you looking for a fantastic dog walk with a rewarding pub meal at the end? Well then, the Hare & Hounds is your calling. It’s a cute little pub that you can start and end your reservoir walks with ending in some great food great drinks and a lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend.”

“Great food! I ordered my favorite pepperoni pizza and creamy pasta—both arrived warm in just 20 minutes. The taste was amazing, and the guy on the phone was super friendly. I’ll definitely be a regular from now on.”

“Absolutely sensational fresh food. Been a few times now and every single time the food is top notch. The service is fantastic the staff can not do enough for you. Honestly one of the best restaurants around x”
