  “A lovely, unassuming restaurant/pub. The service was excellent but I found the food a little bit mixed. The chicken ballotine was very under seasoned whilst the cassoulet was very over seasoned. The arancini was claggy and sour and the starter for me was way too sharp with picalilly- the chips and bread were delicious, the dessert was a big disappointment- the pastry was very soggy and the crisp shell had completely dissolved from the top. Mocktail was nice but very steep at £10 a glass but as these are not on the menu- you don’t know until you pay. I’d go back hoping it was an off day as the staff are fantastic and I think there’s potential there with some tweaks. Maybe too much style over substance on this one.”

  “The Spread Eagle by McLeod 9, just outside Bolton, was a real find. Intensely flavoured, delicious food, beautifully and creatively plated, with a fantastic atmosphere and wonderfully charismatic service. The prices are remarkably reasonable for the quality. We had a brilliant night. One of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. Highly recommended.”

  “A beautiful, picturesque gem. Our first visit to McLeod 9 certainly didn’t disappoint We enjoyed a delicious three-course lunch alongside cocktails made with their signature apple gin. Every dish was beautifully prepared and presented, with high-quality ingredients and wonderful attention to detail. The front-of-house team, waitstaff and chefs were all incredibly welcoming and helpful, making the whole experience feel relaxed and special. Fantastic value for the quality of food and service. We’ll most definitely be back to try the Sunday dinner and tasting menu”

  “What can I say except fabulous all round. We were greeted with a smile and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The food was beautifully cooked and presented with the same care and attention to detail. The decoration and style is simple but tasteful with a great deal of thought throughout. Parking is easy and accessible. Congratulations to everyone for a great culinary experience. We have already booked again.”

  “We’ve been a few times over the last few months and every visit has been brilliant. Most recently we came as a family for Sunday lunch, but we’ve also had the tasting menu with wine pairing and the à la carte menu. The food is always creative and full of seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, and we love that the tasting menu changes monthly. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and really accommodating, with great recommendations on both the food and wine. The atmosphere is lovely and every visit has felt special. We’ll definitely be back for another tasting menu soon!”

  “We have eaten at The Spread Eagle a few times since they opened last year and been impressed every time! We’ve eaten from both the à la carte and the tasting menu and as amazing as the à la carte is the tasting menu really is something special. Joe and the team at The Spread Eagle by McLeod 9 make fine dining feel accessible. There is no snobbery here! Just fantastic food and wine in a relaxed atmosphere. We will certainly be back to try more dishes!”

  “Had a wonderful dinner this past Saturday. We decided on the tasting menu, it was an excellent choice - each course was beautifully prepared and packed with flavour. The atmosphere was refined and comfortable, with the service from the team being fantastic throughout the night. It’s a great spot for a special meal that still feels relaxing and welcoming. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!”
