About Grey Mare Inn
On Tottington Rd in Bolton, Grey Mare Inn is a pub at number 154, run by a landlord and landlady rather than a manager. The kitchen makes its Sunday roast fresh instead of serving it as a carvery, and a slow cooked beef roast is among the dishes. Diners can book the Sunday roast by phoning ahead, which suits anyone planning a weekend meal. The pub is open daily. At the bar, Guinness sits alongside a choice of other beers and spirits.

Customer Review Summary
Sunday roast is what reviewers return to most, described as a proper dinner made fresh rather than a carvery with food left under hot lamps. Diners mention slow cooked beef, tender meat and generous portions, with one calling it the best roast in a long time and another suggesting booking for a Sunday. A good pint of Guinness and a decent choice of beers and spirits come up close behind. Many describe a friendly welcome from the landlord, landlady and bar staff, and a clean, peaceful pub that is also dog friendly. One reviewer hosted a family wake and found the team very accommodating. The outside area gets praise on a sunny day, and a takeaway roast beef dinner is called fantastic. The one criticism is from a diner who found the Sunday lunch good but entirely covered in gravy without being asked, and wished for a jug on the side. Reviewers also note a fresh lick of paint under the new management.

“Just moved to Harwood and everyone says Sunday Roast at the GreyMare is a must. Well we went yesterday and all the hype is very true. Best roast iv had for a very long time served by great friendly staff. Will make it a regular treat”

“We had Sunday Lunch. Food was quite good and generous portions, but we were not asked if we wanted gravy and the whole meal was covered in gravy. It would have been nicer to have a jug to add our own or not.”
