  “Formerly a Wetherpoons pub, they've kept the cheap food and drinks but no longer do the meal deals. You have to order drinks separately. The food also takes alot longer to arrive. It's still a viable alternative to the remaining Wetherpoons down the road, where you can't get a table on a Saturday afternoon because it's so busy!”

  “We came in thinking that it was still a Wetherspoons. The prices looked reasonable and we wanted a nice bite to eat before our remaining activities of our day. Came in and about half of the draft beer taps had cups over them. Limiting the drinks options by a lot. I wanted the Rib combo meal, which was out of stock, I then ordered spaghetti bolognaise instead. Half an hour later the waiter tells me that there’s no Spaghetti, I then ask for a Pizza, was told there’s no Pizza also. Eventually ordered something they did have which was the Steak Pie. By that point I was too hungry to care. Our food arrived over 50 minutes after ordering and it wasn’t even busy, just short stocked. The food taste was alright but the portion sizes felt quite small. For something that should have been a nice meal out turned into an experience I won’t forget (for the wrong reasons).”

  “The new menu sucks. The old menu was much better, the portion sizes now wouldn't fill a toddler, the prices for what you pay are not worth it. We used to come here every week but the rise in price for smaller portions is a huge negative. Also a long wait time, staff are lovely, service at the bar is always decent.”

  “Stopped off for breakfast on the way to Bolton for a family event. Had a traditional breakfast, good portion size and was very hot, unlike some wetherspoons I have been where it has been luke warm. Staff very friendly. Service was quick, only waiting 5 minutes from ordering and paying.”

Bless the hostess she said ill take it back but me and the wife were eating she had her food and then I would be eating later not together so chose to just take it. Disappointed for the first time due to this”

  “Went to this place after going to the cinema To get a quick drink before going somewhere to eat, decided as it was a cold night to stay and eat there, big mistake ordered burgers x4 plus another drink, my burger had a very long hair in the middle of the burger, not just on the plate in the middle of the meat. No problem they took back and refunded, but when we tried to get another drink they refused saying we were drunk, absolutely not true. Bar staff were very miserable said we were laughing too loud manager refused to give his name said he had been told not to, we were a group of 4 aged 50 to 62 think maybe we were too old to be treated with respect. Will never visit again very disappointed. Very unfriendly staff.”

  “From the moment I walked in, I was struck by how fantastic and welcoming this venue felt. The staff were genuinely friendly and made me feel at ease right away, adding to the overall positive atmosphere. The decor is beautifully done — stylish, comfortable, and full of character, creating a space you actually want to spend time in. As for the food, it was okay — not bad, just not the highlight for me. But honestly, it's not always about having a Michelin-star meal. Sometimes it’s about the vibe, and this place absolutely nails it. The energy, the people, and the overall ambiance make it a spot I’d happily return to. This venue is just awesome 🤩👊”

  “The new owners Black Star Pubs have done a great job. The decor is fresh and inviting. The new menu is similar to Wetherspoons as are the prices, although you must buy drinks separate now. The food quality and presentation are far superior to anything Wetherspoons ever provided. The burger was moist and juicy, onion rings crisp, bacon was tasty, the chips were crisp yet fluffy. As for the gammon and eggs. It looked like 5* service. 2 thick slices of gammon, 3 fried eggs, plenty of crisp fluffy chips dressed with fresh herbs. The gammon was great, full of flavour, and so thick. The eggs were perfect. Definitely worth coming back for. My only issue is done tables are not wheelchair friendly. The door was hard to get through and the new seating area near the bar makes it hard to get to the bar. Especially in a wheelchair, my wife tried and ended up being skipped over by staff as they couldn’t see her over the high bar. But that doesn’t detract from the amazing food and great prices.”
