  “Just been for lunch after a walk in the area. Amazing food and even better service, despite it being busy. Both hosts were lovely and approachable. Perfect place for a family meal. The dog enjoyed it too!”

  “A nice pub in Edgworth, Bolton. Plenty of parking at the back of the pub. The best thing about the pub are the views across Entwistle Reservoir. The food is good, its a new menu and I suspect a bew chef as the food has improved 100% since my last visit. This time I had hallumi burger with fries and salad garnish £16.95 and my partner had haddock goujons and fries with garlic and truffle oil £13.90. Which he thoroughly enjoyed. Unfortunately I forgot to take any photos. We'll definitely be going back in the evening sometime.”

  “Got there at 12:45 and table was ready for our 13:00 reservation. Straight to the table and no problems where we had a drink first. Ordered two Sunday lunches one beef and one lamb, both were good size portions and really tasty. Had coffee and cheese cake after and this was also great. Staff great pub great and food great.”

  “First visit today and first impressions very not good at all. The place is very run down, from the decor to the chairs you sit. This had me thinking leave straight away, and I wish I had. The girls serving were friendly enough and that was the only highlight. I ordered the black bull burger with chunky chips. The burger was tasteless and over cooked drowned in some sort of tasteless cheese. Yet somehow the fact that is was full of grease still couldn’t offer any flavour. The chunky chips were limp over cooked and soggy. I am sure there’s have been reheated. The price charged was something like £16 for a plate of food they should be embarrassed to charge a fiver for. I had two bites and pushed it aside feeling a k little queesy and guzzled the coke in an attempt to cleanse the grease. This raised no concerns from the staff when they cleared a full plate, clearly something they are used to. Do yourself and stomach a favour and avoid this place at all costs.”

  “Service fine, the staff polite and friendly enough. Food wasn’t as good as it looked unfortunately we travelled here (nearly an hour away) each way after recommendations. Halloumi some of it was ok it was just plain fried but some of it was squidgy/cooked abit long and could tell when eating. Salt and pepper wings was nice although could do with more seasoning on the chicken than the peppers. Rag pudding was fine quite nice, I enjoyed it :) although the food seemed to of been covered in pepper. The cheese pie, maybe it’s each persons taste however it wasn’t edible it was a crumbly cheese like pure cheese, crumbling as you eat no taste or onion or potato which was ashame as it looked nice before trying it and my partner left it. Was the kind of cheese you have with a cheese board than in a pie in our opinion. Kids meal was fine little boy enjoyed it. View out the back of the res lovely x”

  “Great food, haven't been in for many many years. Called in as passing on a Friday evening and very busy with must tracked full, but they squeezed us in. Staff all lovely and working very hard. Food was delicious! My 9yr old asked if it was possible to just have a poached egg as a starter and they accommodated her request 🥰🤩 one very happy child 🤣 All of our meals were lovely, no complaints at all, veg cooked well, fries wedges and sauteed potatoes across three meals were all perfectly cooked. Desserts were super tasty. Three people, three courses with drinks, £60! Great price and great quality food, really can't complain at all. Many thanks, we'll definitely be back!”
