Top Cafes in Ashton-in-makerfield, Greater manchester

Hoping to put this on our shortlist of venues for a special meal /drink for a important event in our lives found it a bit dark and uninviting , waited 35 mins for our meal,beer choice for me wasn't great and my meal was a let down ( partners was good she said) steak and kidney pudding should have soft suet pastry not a rock hard can't get your knife through it shell .. go easy on the microwave warm up chef keep your eye on the timer ..when asked was ' everything OK informed the young lady no and of the problem let's see if it gets back to the kitchen team Will probably again .. as I can see it could be really good

Popped in for lunch today. As usual, Janet, Tony and the team were as welcoming and efficient as always. love the atmosphere in this lovely pub. Ordered the steak and ale pie, and it was delicious. Would recommend that you give it a try, it’s the perfect yummy comfort food. The Boars Head never disappoints and I love visiting. 😃

Meal for 4 yesterday, great service, food was good, tomato soup for starter, cheese and onion pie for main. The small portion of veg with the main was undercooked unfortunately but the cheese and onion pie was pretty good. Thought it was quite expensive for pub grub but everyone seemed to enjoy it.

Had a family Christmas Brunch today at the Boars Head. The food was outstanding and presented beautifully. The five of us enjoyed every single course including the lemon sorbet. Three of us had the full Christmas turkey and gammon and two had the steak. Everything was cooked to perfection, the Christmas pudding needed a little more custard for me personally and I was obliged with a second jug. Yummy!! The trio of deserts went down a storm profiteroles, rhubarb crumble and custard, cheesecake all delicious. Outstanding value and the service by the waiting on team was very efficient. Compliments to the chef, and we will be back!! 🎅. Well done everyone!!! 👏👏👏👏

Head and shoulders above a lot of pubs for service, dog friendliness, cleanliness and food quality. Been twice now with a party of 6 never had a bad meal. This is a lot better than pub grub but without all the pretentiousness. The sirloin cut like butter! We need some pubs like this is the south of Wigan instead of Standish hogging them all haha
