Wining and dining in Bolton

“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.”

“Went with dad a few weeks ago. Staff were absolutely friendly and helpful. Foods were fresh and actually tasty considering their values for money. Would recommend for either dining it or having takeaway, however bearing in mind there are very limited seats.”

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

“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.”

“Nice Italian restaurant in the vaults of The Market Place. Prezzo was busy enough to be buzzing but not so busy that we had to wait. Food was lovely, I had the baked mushrooms followed by a main I can't remember (but was lovely) with truffle oil infused fries as a side. Sweet was sticky toffee pudding which was not particularly Italian, but very nice. Service in the restaurant was very good and they even catered for one of our party who needed his phone charging. Recommended.”

“Very friendly team. Delicious food. Proper curry, pilav rice, chapati, variety of kebabs and others. Next time we need to try TAWA. Looks a good sharing plate….”

“Great customer service and all products are stocked well”

“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.”

“Absolutely amazing food at very reasonable prices. Went with my wife and daughter and we all enjoyed our food. Great selection of wine. Excellent service. Have recommended to all my friends and family.”

“What a lovely little restaurant. We ordered garlic bread with cheese - amazing. Then cannelloni and risotto for main. Both came piping hot and very tasty. Sticky toffee pudding and profiteroles for pudding. The profitaroles were the best I've ever tasted. Service was speedy and reasonably priced. Under £60 for 2 with drinks. Definitely worth a visit. They also offered gluten free pasta and pizza.”

“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.”

“Had food here with my friends on 3/10/2025. The food is phenomenal & the service is wonderfully friendly, great atmosphere & decor. If you haven't been, you need too.”

“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.”

“First time being here. Staff were impeccable, really friendly and welcoming, clearly well managed by a good boss. Food was very yummy!”

“Went for the first time since the change of ownership for my birthday with family. We were all impressed with the refurbishment and the menu. The food choices we all made were excellent, quality food and attentive service. Highly recommend”

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

“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.”

“First time visiting and we weren't disappointed at all. We at half chicken and the hunters chicken from the special menu. Both Freshly prepared and looked stunning. We enjoyed every mouthful. We finished our meal with a homemade rocky road cake to share portions are great we would recommend to anyone”

“A unique opportunity to have true Italian food freshly made and delivered to your door. This is the best Italian food you will ever have outside of Italy.”

“Started going for lunch recently , great condensed lunch menu and really reasonable prices . Food was amazing will be back for lunch a lot!”

“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”

“Visiting Bolton for the first time. The first two cafés we tried were closed; third time lucky and we're so pleased, everything was to our satisfaction. Staff were super friendly too.”

“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.”
