Very tasty Italian food and reasonable prices. The carbonara was probably the best one I had so far. But if you don’t like oily food maybe seafood risotto would be a better choice. Overall, highly recommended for having a nice meal with friends and family!

As good as the reviews promised. Didn't rush home and treated myself to a dinner for one! Was made to feel very welcome and enjoyed a mid week treat. Would 100% go back and bring friends, an excellent Italian.

Excellent café! I had a car in the garage (Woodbine motors) and was recommended Chico as a place to have breakfast while I waited. Food is halal, freshly made and very well cooked. Got busy so obviously popular.

The best cafe in Bolton! You are sure of a warm welcome and a listening ear if you need one. The food is all home/cooked from locally-sourced ingredients, by a very talented young chef and served with a smile by lovely volunteers. If you are looking for quality food at very reasonable prices, you should visit Cafe Create! The cakes are to-die-for too! There are also amazing hand-crafted gifts to peruse and purchase if you are looking for a special gift. Try a visit, you won’t be disappointed!

Hooyo's Spot

144 Derby St, Bolton BL3 6JR, UK

5.0 (362 reviews)

P: 07535 900535

Hooyo Spot is a hidden treasure, offering some of the finest Somali cuisine I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The food is exquisitely prepared, with each dish showcasing rich, authentic flavours that truly stand out. The lamb, in particular, is superb—tender, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The accompanying rice is fragrant and beautifully complements the meal, while the sambusas are wonderfully crisp and flavourful. The portions are generous, and the staff provide warm, welcoming service in a cosy, inviting atmosphere. For anyone seeking quality Somali food, Hooyo Spot is simply exceptional in every respect. Definitely recommend it.

What a hidden gem in Bolton! The food here is absolutely delicious and if you've never tried Somali food and are a bit apprehensive, then I assure you, go to Hooyo's Spot and try it- you will not be disappointed! The beef suqara stew was absolutely delicious, as was the lamb platter. The sauces are delicious (on the spicy side but so good). The service was great- they really do deserve 10 stars! Good portions, good prices, delicious food and fantastic service. Can't recommend this place enough!

I never usually come to Bolton, no specific reasons why, i just don’t, but, as someone who does their research into the establishments they eat beforehand, i came across here. I’m all about trying new and often obscure cuisines, even as something as “Somalian”. Most people would scoff at the thought of eating such a thing. But i would beg to differ. I’ve been twice now, and the first time i came, i was so eager to come back for more it was that good. First things first is the establishment itself. It’s clean, not so much seating downstairs, but there is some additional seating upstairs if you are eating in. It’s most certainly lit up with bright lighting that’s for sure, although that’s not a criticism. As for the service, the chap for the first occasion was great and very helpful. He was the one that notified me about the upstairs seating. The second time round, the woman who served me was also good, as well. Overall, service was spot on 👍. (No pun intended) Now for the food…goodness me. It. Was. Good! I ordered the quarter chicken rice platter (i think it’s called), that comes with a side salad and 2 sauces for £6.50! That’s what i call value for money. When i got back and opened the HUUUUUUUGE box, i was amazed at the massive portion size you get, which i’m not complaining about, not one bit. And my giddy goodness the smell that wafted by. It’s like something i’ve never smelt before. Finally after much anticipation, i got straight into it. And my goodness, words fail me to say how amazing this truly was. The chicken with the grilled, charred texture on the outside and the soft and tender flesh that just melts off the bone, the fragrant and lightly spiced rice, the sweet potato fries i assume it is adds a nice texture, as well. The accompaniments it comes with, such as the side salad adds a fresh crunch, too. The sauces, in addition, adds both a spicy and smooth texture, giving the dish a good consistency. Overall, I have to say, this is quite possibly one of the best dishes i have ever had. I know it looks rather unassuming and some may say downright bland, but trust me on this. It packed flavour, it packed spice, it packed everything you could ever want or need. It was beyond words, quite honestly so. What these people are doing here is remarkable. Serving the local community affordable and absolutely superb food. Giving an alternative cuisine to what most people are used to eating, as well? I commend them on that. I can’t stress this enough, but if you’re are ever in the area, i would highly encourage you to come and visit Hooyo’s Spot. They are doing something really special here and I wouldn’t want anyone to miss out. Above marks on this place. 5/5

I used MK Electrics for the first time today to have 3 light fittings changed, the electrician, Moz, was exactly on time, he was quick and efficient, happy to answer any questions I had and was very friendly, he didn’t even mind my 3 cats running around!

Had many quotes but Marcus seemed to fully understand the job and gave the best recommendations. Provided great advice about what we needed and he was very honest about what could / could not be done. They are extremely tidy and cleaned up as they went along. Extremely happy with the overall job, many thanks!! Definitely recommend for electrical work.

Would highly recommend MK electrics. Marcus did a fantastic job for us, from new sockets, fixing and replacing lights to installing an alarm system. He was always on time, reliable and easy to communicate with. Marcus was really informative and helped us decide what would work best for us. He is very thorough and tidy. We will definitely be using him again.

A place to meet up with friends for a cuppa and a natter and a lite bite. Great atmosphere with lots of comfy seating available. It's a bit on the posh side not a greasy spoon cafe. Best Manners are most appreciated as some of our people may have special needs and they don't like load noises. We are a loving caring church. And we love to take care of anybody who needs to come through power doors? Please be respectful and please try not to make too much absorb for the sake of the poor. And for the sake of the bipolar bears and for the sake of people with dyslexia and for the sake of people who may be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. We love anybody to come through our door but they must love us equally.

Ok, Wow! So we had some time before our next destination and looked for coffee shops in the area. This was the first on Google reviews and the interior looked cosy. Upon entering you immediately feel a warm and welcoming vibe. The customers are also super friendly. The ambience is spot on. A small menu not overloaded. Friendly service and good drinks. Anytime we are around we will pop in. Plenty of parking available too.

David Rann of Smart Power Electrical Ltd fitted our Tesla Wall Connector and the Pen Loss Detection unit which we needed for our Tesla. David turned up at the time agreed and was very efficient sorting out with us where to install each of the two units. When he had finished the installation he then connected our Tesla Apps to the Wall Connector. This was not straight forward and we were impressed by his knowledge to get the Apps connected. David then demonstrated how we should use the Tesla Wall Connector. We found the service provided professional and efficient.

David did an amazing job fitting my Tesla Wall Connector, very polite and responded quickly. David was able to come and fit the charger within about 4 days of first contacting him. I didn’t want any unnecessary wiring on show, and David said that was no problem, as we could install all the wiring on the other side of the wall (in my case, that was the garage). Would definitely recommend David to anyone 👍🏻

I can’t recommend The Mill Coffee House enough! The staff are incredibly friendly and always go out of their way to help with anything you need. One time, a staff member even gave us a tour of the nearby church hall, sharing a bit of its history, which was such a thoughtful touch. Another time, a young lady helped my friend with her selfie stick, and the chef has come out personally whenever we've had special requests. The food is beautifully presented and always delicious. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy great company!

What a gem! The Mill Coffee House is the perfect place for a great cup of coffee or a bite to eat. I visited this morning with my hubby and Dad. (I've been before, but my dad hadnt). When we entered he commented on how nice it was - he appreciated the decor and the feel of the space. It is table service and our order was taken in good time. We ordered three of the Big breakfass which include a brew of your choice. The food was really good - perfectly cooked poached eggs with a runny yolk (we visited the garden centre very nearby a few weeks earlier and received hard boiled poached eggs - even after sending them back), tasty sausage and bacon, and think toast (see pics of food). The cafe has a great atmosphere, thebstaff and smiley and friendly and bothe the food and coffee are excellent quality. Emma is the perfect host and this is a MUST VISIT place.

We went for brunch and it was fantastic. The Dirty Eggs were gorgeous. The Breakfast Bloomer was very full. The pancakes with bacon were lovely. We made a swap to have bacon with the cream cheese bagel instead of smoked salmon. The children's portion of pancakes was lovely. Everything was great value and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
