Dining out in Bolton

“Amazing food and brilliant service at Abacus in Middlebrook! The staff are welcoming, the atmosphere is lovely, and the dishes are full of flavour with generous portions. Highly recommend for a meal out with family or friends! OK pork chops is a must have!”

“I see quite a few people have negative 1* reviews but my takeaway experience was outstanding!! The food was out of this world literally, the pounded yam nice and soft, Banga Soup was just mouthwatering, every bite just made me want more! And the Taba (don't get me started) I used to have Taba as a kid and throughout my years never found a place that made Taba the way this one place made it when I was young... Tried this place for my birthday and the Taba was spot on like they were the ones that made it when I was little... 100/10 - seriously.”

“What can I say cheap good beer and great people Friendliest pub in Farnworth”

“A real upscale place! Fabulous spacious bar with plenty of seating and large screens, lovely clean room for 3 adults sharing. Not a lot of parking but that was the only complaint. Fabulous breakfast too, even swapped out my egg for black pudding which not everywhere will do. Great and also close to other bars and Horwich centre - about a mile walk to the Bolton Wanderers ground.”

“What a lovely place. Sunday Lunch was fantastic. Freshly cooked and plentiful. The beef was cooked to perfection! Staff polite, professional and friendly. The bill was as expected which I considered reasonable for what we had. Will definitely return.”

“A great spot to dine with friends and family. The food was cooked with love and care and the environment was friendly and warm. Myself and my friends had a lamb wrap, chicken wings with chips, shakshouka, falafel, coffee and baklava and each bite was a treat for the tastebuds. After finishing our meal we just wanted to sit and enjoy each others company and we were welcomed to this, not being hurried out of the door and instead being invited to stay for as long as we liked. I will definitely be visiting Dina again.”

“Came Saturday 3rd December for our Christmas do. We all had food and drinks. It was very busy so our food was miss ordered but once it came it was out of this world. Most of us had loaded fries. Because of the delay we got a discount. The food prices were really reasonable. Would definitely recommend.”

“Just been for the first time, best curry in ages! Definitely be back again! Unusual for three people to have different starters and mains and all be over the moon, friendly staff and the food was piping hot!Very very tasty and plenty of it.”

“Absolutely lovely, properly cooked and very tasty food. Decent sized portions and very good value for money”

“Great vibe! New landlady new bar staff all really lovely and welcoming....nice outside area and hopefully get the pizza over running again soon”

“A different eating-in experience with various steak options variety a nice seating area and a lovely view of an actual plane cockpit and proper airplane womdows with a view of the main road. Tables and seating are good enough for a family of 6 like mine and comfortable.”

“Down for a weekend from Rhyl went to Lincolns in town centre warm welcome felt comfortable excellent food well priced definitely worth a visit if you've not been not far from shopping centre cromptom place it's a little hidden gem”

“always but my kebabs from here, lovely”

“Lovely pub run by the most friendly landlady bev and landlord will and keeping up with the family traditions james wills brother does disco and karaoke always a brill night and gud atmosphere”

“This is a great place for real ale. Staff are most friendly. Also good for watching sport on the telly.”

“We have spent 16 months trying to find good pizza in Manchester and finally, Ronan Pizzeria has come through. The crust is the perfect thickness and texture and a proper pizza; not the sandwich-bread texture of every other "pizza" around. The toppings are great quality and flavour and the service was welcoming and kind. Update: 1 year later it's still incredible. We moved to Canada and are back for a few days to visit so made sure to stop here for dinner.”

“Lovely takeaway meals and is a convenient location with parking spaces! I noticed there were new owners and as such their service is slower than usual but still satisfactory. I will give them time to adapt and perhaps change a few small things to make this takeaway better, but it is already looking better in terms of food and cleanliness. At first I was scared of trying as a recent review said sweet n sour prawns were £10.50, however when I ordered it, it turned out to be only around £5.90 which is cheaper than most takeaways in this area; glad I didn't listen to that review! Overall lovely food and experience :)”

“1st time ordering, Food had plenty off flavour and tasted great, got the set menu for one,sweet and sour chicken balls, chicken satay and egg fried rice, plus spring rolls and prawn crackers was amazing will definatly be back.”

“I recently ate here for a family dinner. Lovely place and plenty of parking. Was welcomed by Lou, who walked us to our table and explained where to order. The kitchen manager Mitch gave us recommendations (which I tried). I would definitely come back again, the staff were brilliant, the food was great and the pub/restaurant were lovely”

“The best Mexican food I’ve ever had!! Especially the burrito bowl. Umrah is also helpful and lovely! Amazing Staff, amazing food… what more do you need!”

“Love the food here hands down killing it with flavours. Tonight they had a mix up in the kitchen. My order didnt come, rang up, 1st takeaway ive had to actually check and admit fault without hassle. They immediately cooked and delivered in about 15 minutes without me needing to say anything or asking so worth noting. 5*”

“Was in Bolton on a business trip. Slept in a rather disappointing hotel that didn't serve food hence how I ended up in Three pigeons and that was a life saver. Good ambience, great food, not over priced in any way. Will definitely visit again”

“We booked for food for 10 people on a Saturday night. It was very busy, as to be expected at that time. When we ordered food we were told there could be quite a wait as it was such a big order and only 2 people in the kitchen. The starters arrived in about 15 minutes and mains very shortly that. Hats off to Keegan and Andy in the kitchen as that was a quick service and the food was great, everything exactly as we ordered. Liam who was serving us was great too, making sure we had everything, checking we were ready for mains and even helping me bring I’d ordered at the bar to the table as the food had been brought out. I don’t think he could have done more for us. I would definitely go back and wouldn’t be worried about going a such a busy time like I would with other places. Thanks to everyone, it was booked for my Dad’s 60’th and he had a great time too!!”

“What a wonderful place! The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor in every bite. The ambiance was perfect, a great mix of lively and comfortable. The staff were polite and very attentive, making sure we had an enjoyable time. The restaurant was spotless, which is always a big plus for me. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal.”

“Where do I start with this? So I ordered a “Fusion Donner” and chips and I have to admit it’s the best tasting donner I’ve had in my entire life. They stir fry it in this special red sauce and it goes perfect with some nice chilli and garlic sauce! I have had my fair share of donner over the years and this takes first place! GDK go eat your heart out Essano is winning this one!”

“Lovely food chicken fu yung is mega”

“Came in for food and it was delicious. Got served by Karolina, she was delightful from when we walked through the door. Very friendly and welcoming. I believe a gentleman called Declan came and checked on our food as we was half way through it. A fantastic experience, will definitely return!”

“Good pub nice atmosphere good food. Most expensive pub in Farnworth”

“The DJ was fab. He played both mine and my friends requests. Definitely coming back. X”
