I recently came to the bowling green to have the carvery, the meat choice was good however the veg was very minimal with little left in the pans of each choice making it not really worth the money

We had the carvery,the food was dry, the roast potatoes tasted like frozen potatoes cooked in cheap fat,the mash was disgusting and the veg was bone dry. The prices were not very reasonable and £6 for a pint of strongbow dark fruits!!! The staff were very nice and it was clean. Would I recommend or ever go back? Definitely not!

Went for a carvery staff lovely atmosphere nice however the meats under the lamps had flys landing on the meat really off putting luckily a staff member brought new gammon out so had to have that as already suffering with gastric conditions it really was off putting they need to ensure the meats are covered

Appalled at the state of my food today - absolutely freezing and not nice when it was returned "hot" I've given three stars for service as I couldn't fault the young girl on service and the guy on the front as they were polite and gracious when I complained but, for the 'chef' to serve cold food is just awful. My nephews chicken nuggets could have broken glass they were that hard and chewy and they appeared to have been re fried more than twice! My friend ordered the fish - but they failed to mention in order no tartare sauce ( yes a minor inconvenience but when the rest of the order was shocking it adds up!) Carvery meat looked like it had been there for days as it was so dried out from the heating lamps and the carvery in general looked like a dogs dinner. When we arrived the pub was half empty so not as if they were run off their feet with orders either. I was going to make a formal complaint to a manager but to be honest I just wanted to get out of there. Not a good experience and won't be retuning.

We decided to drop by for lunch as we saw it was doing carverys and quite close to where we live. It's a lovely pub really friendly atmosphere and the staff where lovely and polite. The food was amazing. The veg was lovely and fresh and the roasties where good but for my own preference I'd have liked them a bit crisper but they was still delicious. The cakes are amazing and we throughly enjoyed our visit and will be back soon.

I must say that myself and family were very disappointed with the recent carvery we had on Sunday the 28th of April. The meat was quite nice as was the gravy and Yorkshire puddings however the compliments stop right there . The rest of the meal was diabolical though to be honest. Veg was cold, the roast potatoes were very hard and tasteless , the most unappetising part though was the mash which had hard lumps in it. We passed on our critique to the waitress and there was absolutely no come back from the chef or management. Best part of £80 wasted . Please don’t throw your money away , I really don’t like to be so critical but felt we were totally robbed 😩

Drove from Horwich because it had a kids play area, which to be fair wasn't too bad. But the food.... Wow it was bad. I paid over £15 for a burger that was dryer than the Sahara with what looked like Aldi fries. My daughter had the cheese pie which tasted more like mash than cheese. Really disappointed.

We regularly go here for carvery but it’s not as good as once was. Meat portions have gone smaller and poorer quality. The roast potatoes are awful and today’s mash was wet, sloppy and tasteless. The front of house staff have all changed and the bar staff who served me today seemed to see me as an inconvenience to their chatting. The whole place was much quieter than usual as well. Things need to improve.

Came here on my wife's birthday as she was really looking forward to a good carvery and we heard this place was good. Upon arrival we are told that they have no beef or turkey so if you want the carvery it's gammon or nothing. Not much of a carvery then is it. So disappointed, won't be coming back.

Visited evening 21st March, very quiet. Was very impressed with decor as it’s been a few years since I last visited. My food was really nice in fact everyone’s was , didn’t see anyone have anything from the carvery. The service was disappointing, maybe due to there only being a couple of staff. We ordered a main and a dessert but had to go to the bar to ask for our pud to be brought out. As my friend approached the bar the staff member initially turned away from us even though there was no one else at the bar. We also saw other customers waiting to be served at the bar. Overall we had a lovely evening and enjoyed our food. I would visit again but it wouldn’t be on my go to list.

We were on our way into Chorley after a busy day and we're looking forward to dinner. We drove past the Bowling Green and decided to turn around and go back to it. Best decision ever! The food is excellent, the choice and quality of meats - turkey, beef and ham were all cooked to perfection. Vegetables were varied and also first rate. Would've loved to try dessert but had no room. Great value for money. We will certainly be back.

A local pub to us and one that we enjoy going to about twice a month on average. It has an adults section and a family section. As somebody that is hearing impaired, there is always somewhere quiet to sit. The food has always been good and the service is excellent too. A big car park with an overflow car park is most useful at busy times. It’s a 10/10 from us. Btw, the dirty fries are a little bit awesome!!! 🤩🤩🤩

It was perfectly spacious for all of our family and friends with an added bonus of a separate room at the back for the buffet. We had lots of compliments about the food and how delicious it was! The children could also enjoy the play area which had lots of things to keep them entertained. The staff can’t do enough to help you!

My friend had the chicken and bacon salad and I had the veg and goats cheese flatbread with chicken. Lovely food, only one small point was the flatbread was really crispy so couldn't cut it or wrap it but everything else was nice. No idea if dogs are allowed but if they are we will definitely be visiting again. Update: My third visit today and lovely flatbread that was soft and tasty. Staff lovely again and just missed out on the 5th star for me as it's not dog friendly unfortunately. Everything else is great.
