Customer Review Summary
Complaints centre on food and rules. One diner found the beef frites impossible to chew, another called the cheese pie too cheesy, the curry sauce very salty and the chips soggy, and one felt the steak ciabatta fell short of before. A senior couple were refused a small roast because those portions were limited to children, and then had to order food and drinks at the bar, which left them not planning to return even though the food was lovely.

“My husband and I visited on Sunday for lunch. Greeted by nice lady. Asked if I could have small roast (senior citizens)Told no only up to age 12. Not the case at bobs smithy or other restaraunts. Hade to order food at bar. I asked a nice youg lady if she could get me a drink as I was eating. Yes certainly she replied. She returned to say Im not allowed have to go to the bar. I have never been asked to do this in any other pub or restaurant in my life. Will not be returning The food was lovely”

“We are regulars at the Victoria Inn and rightly keep coming back time after time. The food quality is always great, whether it’s bar snacks or a Sunday roast. The range of drinks is excellent, and every member of staff is lovely and serves with a smile. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough — easily one of the best bars for somw distance.”
- Alexander Golding
“Absolutely one of the best pub restaurants Bolton has to offer. Whether you just want a drink or two with friends or come in for a full three course meal, you really can’t go wrong. The staff work very hard to please, always friendly and welcoming whilst management working behind the scenes strive to improve customer service. Sunday lunch is fabulous ( Yorkshire puddings to die for) and has to be experienced. Keep up the awesome work everyone.”
