Wonderful pub classics cooked well, offering what feels like a premium dining experience, but at very reasonable rates. Whoever the chefs are at this place need a pat on the back. It might seem like a rather unasssuming location but it's well worth travelling to for the cosy atmosphere and excellent food. The staff were very friendly and were very swift when it came to bri ging drinks and meals. Cannot fault the service at all.

First visit here on the suggestion of a friend. We could not fault it. The food was delicious with a wide selection of food on the menu. The service was outstanding. The staff couldn't do enough for us. It is quite rural however and so it means one of us had to drive, but it was nice to be out somewhere a bit different. Update: I returned with my other half tonight. We were seated in the bar but we found it to be too noisy with people and a couple of dogs barking at each other. We asked if we could be moved from the bar into the restaurant, which they were able to accommodate, though we were given a time to leave the table, but it was 2 hrs after we turned up and there was plenty of time to eat 3 courses!

We had a table booked for 9 of us as someone with experience in the food industry trying to serve 9 ppl at the same time can be challenging, but they made it look so easy, waiting on staff were exceptional very silver service. I ordered sausage and mash with seasonal veg. My meal was beautiful. Top quality ingredients. Pub food but fresh ingredients and superbly cooked. I then ordered dessert and a Irish coffee. As pictured above. The menu doesn't do the food justice in my opinion. Food menu looks like pub grub but it was as good if not better than some of the top restaurants we have eaten in. We will be going back very soon

Stayed here numerous times now for work, and although I’m not there during the day, when I come back from work, the staff are all very welcoming and friendly, offering fantastic service, especially Katie who always offers service with a comforting smile and always seems to be everywhere at once and always goes above and beyond to make sure a stay here is as best as possible! also to Kim & Irene too, great service behind the bar and almost as if they both have a crystal ball and ready for what I want before I’ve even asked, fantastic service from start to finish, can’t recommend enough! Definitely one of the best/better hotels I have stayed in within recent time

I have used this hotel many times to deliver corporate events and inductions and have always had a positive experience. The staff are always helpful and go out if their way to help. Julie and Lisa are stars. Highly recommend.

We stay at this hotel twice a year when visiting family, and it has always been a comfortable and welcoming place. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, with Lydia and Irene standing out in particular. They even remembered us from our last visit and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The hotel is dog-friendly, which is a big plus for us. Although the decor is a little dated and some areas feel a bit worn, this is reflected in the cost, which is very reasonable. It’s always clean and well-maintained, so we really can’t complain. The breakfast is consistently good and the room service is fantastic. Even during holiday periods, the rates remain affordable. And the views across Bolton are a nice bonus. Thank you!

We had the £10 lunch menu meal and I could say that's just about what it worth. Small pot of shin beef cottage pie with veg that was the best part of the meal, the cottage pie was full of fat. But the place was jam packed so maybe we were both unlucky as both of us a load of fat in the cottage pie. Tiny glass of wine was also included in the price. But £5.95 for a beer is where they make their money.

Randomly chose this restaurant as a last minute birthday celebration for a friend. Food was actually remarkable, very impressed for the price list. Atmosphere and interior design was very relaxing. Service was quick, customer service was great. Cindy, our waitress, was very polite and pleasant.

We went here because of a recommendation and we are so glad we did. We have been twice now and it has been perfect on both occasions. Food absolutely superb, staff really professional and friendly. Fast service. Just brilliant. We have recommended it to others now too. Definitely one of our new favourites.

The food was delicious. My partner had the black pudding starter and he said it was the best starter he'd had in a long time. Dog friendly for our two chihuahuas. The gentleman that served us was very attentive and polite. We would definitely eat here again. Lovely pub and reasonably priced too.

Had a meal here a couple of weeks ago , the lamb chops were nice and cooked to my liking, the steak however was fatty and full of grissel , Also Frozen chips, and the lady forgot my side dish. It was brought as I was finishing my meal . (There was only one table in whom had already eaten the main meal so I don't understand the confusion. I had recommended this place as I used to go when I lived in the area and loved the side veg and home made chunky chips. The chips were frozen which I didn't eat as I don't eat frozen potatoes . Meal and a drink around 50 quid I've spent the same money for a lot better quality. No side of veg for the steak , No atmosphere I won't go again which is a shame as it used to be such a lovely place .

Really kind and helpful staff and a great, superb value for money Sunday roast. The fact you can take the dog after walking around Walker Fold is a massive plus point. Only one negative was the roast potatoes need to be improved. 3 times I have had a roast here and every time they were hard, dry and almost inedible. Everything else on the roast was perfect though and the beef and pork was to die for. Definitely worth a visit, I just hope the roasties improve :)

Veg pie and mash was okay. Mash was a bit bland with extra charge for gravy. Desserts were good and seemed to be freshly made. We felt a bit rushed even though we'd been given a time slot, but then moved to another table

8 of us went for food last night. The food was absolutely amazing! I got the chicken dish and omg! The best food I have ever tasted! Compliments to the chef! My friend didn’t eat much of her fish pie, not because she didn’t like it but she’s on the weight injections, after the waitress had taken all our empty plates she came back to the table collecting more plates and said the chef had asked if there was any problem with the fish pie. We all thought this was really good as the chef is taking an interest on people enjoying the food! Loved that! Waitress was also a little star. No one ever went without drinks and no problems with the food order. All very fresh. I never have 3 courses on a meal and was full to the brim after main meal but we all enjoyed the food that much that we just had to try the deserts too! So we shared a few. Atmosphere nice and chilled. And not too pricey. Would highly recommend and will be returning. Thank-you to all your staff for a pleasant evening.

Went for Sunday lunch but I couldn’t resist the suet pudding, chips and seasonal veg. It was amazing. Not the traditional shaped pudding, came in an oval dish and it was just the best. Loads of soft beef and rich gravy. The chips are homemade chunky chips and are fantastic and the veg was well cooked. Everything piping hot. My husband had the beef Sunday lunch and enjoyed it but I do not regret my choice. I keep thinking about that pudding!!

Wonderful!!! Sat in the restaurant part, close to the roaring fire, perfect for a chilly winter's day. The service was impeccable and the food was top notch. Good portion sizes as well as incredible quality on starters and mains, unfortunately didn't have room for dessert. This was our first time here, but definitely looking forward to going back and sampling the outside area when temperatures allow.

We like coming here for a hot chocolate after swimming lessons… The kids usually go for the pancakes with berries. Breakfast with Santa was nice too, they each got reindeer food, colouring sheets and crackers and were seated in front of a nice cosy log fire then got to meet Santa individually.

When you are the world’s most awkward customer like me — GF, dairy free and no caffeine — it really gets on my pip when I am charged extra through the nose for alternative milk, decaf coffee and shots of syrup. One place that shall remain nameless charged me £1 for a shot of vanilla syrup recently. I was a bit miffed. I am pleased to say the Cowshed has the cheapest and one of the nicest coffees around. £3.30 for me. £2.50 if you are normal :-) And you can order from the outside, they have a very cute hole-in-the-wall style window hatch. Engaging staff. Lovely light venue that certainly adds a bit of brightness to the Horwich. Can I have an udder please?

Half way down Winter Hay Lane, Horwich. Feels like a country cafe with pastle colours everywhere. Three/four small rooms and an ice cream counter at the front. Typical home made food such as quiche, omelette and various sandwiches.

We held a 40th birthday party here at The Rivington. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We had our own sweets cart and decorations for the cart which needed assembling and some table shuffling which was accommodated for, prior to the party without any issues. The function room was clean. Located on the upper floor with two flights of steps. Note : the Image is only the front bar area, there's more room and seating on the other side of the bar area. The toilets were clean with sink and hand dryers. Heated undercover smokers area. The bar staff were friendly and efficient. The food was hot and tasty. We had a great night thank you all.

Fabulous food, my partner said that it was the best fish and chips he's ever had, and he's had alot 😋 I tasted a chip and I must say it was the best chip I've ever had, brown & crispy outside and fluffy white inside. His fish was huge as well. I had goats cheese risotto and my friend had linguine carbonate both of which were lovely. The Albanian waitress was friendly and helpful. The place has recently been done up and was bright and fresh, however, I do think that there's too many imitation flowers, it's beginning to look like a funeral home. Sorry but that's just my opinion.

Food is wonderful, service a little slow in parts but will be back. Will ask for the cosier area with the exposed brick wall next time as the other side has really harsh white lights with white walls. Not cosy or romantic at all. Very poor choice of non alcoholic drinks.

First time coming here since they changed to venue, very lovely inside, and a warm welcome! We ordered chicken ham and leek pie and a steak burger. The portions were big and the food was absolutely delicious. Hard to find chips that beat them. Great price too. Will definitely be coming again and highly recommend.

We have visited Ewe twice and both times really enjoyed the food. Last night was particularly good and we couldn’t fault anything. We were really happy to see our favourite dessert sticky toffee pudding still on the menu as we had it last year and it’s honestly the best sticky toffee pudding we have ever tried. (Please do not remove this off the menu we will be very sad) The steak was cooked to perfection, cabbage and bacon was lovely and the cauliflower cheese was to die for. Staff all lovely and friendly looking forward to visit again :)

🎄CHRISTMAS DAY AT EWE🎄 I celebrated Christmas with my family at Ewe for my first ever Christmas dinner out, and it was perfect! The team welcomed us warmly, with exceptional service throughout our visit. The venue looked magical, fully decked with festive decor and a stunning Christmas tree. The food was nothing short of amazing. From the fresh prawn cocktail and perfectly prepared beetroot carpaccio to a juicy turkey dinner served with generous portions, every bite impressed. Desserts were an absolute dream, with my chocolate and cherry delice being the perfect sweet finale, creamy and rich. With Santa hats, crackers, and coffee served with homemade mince pies, the festive touches were endless. We rounded out our day sipping Prosecco by the tree after our meal, which was everything I could’ve hoped for. Thank Ewe, for making our Christmas so unforgettable! 🤍 📸PICTURED📸 King prawn cocktail Beetroot carpaccio Duck liver pate Turkey festive feast Lemon & yuzu tart Chocolate & cherry delice Christmas pudding Coffee & mince pies
