I usually love carrs cheese pasties and also the jalapeño and cheese but I tried the frozen ones and they taste like completely different pasties to the ones sold hot in there shops, they were not very nice at all and I won’t be eating them again.

We visited today and the food was amazing. Not only that, my partner left his wallet in there and didnt even realise he had lost it, a member of staff managed to track him down and even came and dropped it off for us. We even offered to give her £20 for the inconvenience and she politely declined! Most places wouldn’t of even gone to the trouble so it was most appreciated!

The price for a pasty that tastes of peppered potato, with absolute no flavour, charged at stupid prices. There are 10 time more flavour in the pound bakery pasty’s. I some time wonder if people in Bolton have no taste buds, or they are trying to support a poor business!

We would just like to say thank you very much for your kind deliveries of pasties to the Covid testing centres. They have kept us warm through the cold days at the centres. Very much appreciated.

Me and my wife visited today and sampled a Carrs meat and potato and steak pasty. These cant be compared to cornish pasties as some reviewers have done. These are mass produced machine made pasties that are similar to pound bakery pasties. Cornish pastys are hand made with different pastry and different ingredients. They are better quality than pound bakeries but only just. They are ok but nothing special. The filling in meat and potato is a kind of mash with a bit if mince in there if u look closely. I feel locals rave on about these pastys because there is nothing else to compare them too. Gregg's is just as nice.

I love these pasties. If been eating these since I was a kid. Then they were on Halliwell Road. They now have a fantastic shop just down the road from an elderly relative we visit and she loves us bringing her a pastie when we call. They taste the same with every batch so you know exactly what you are getting every time.

Originally visited this shop because was intriguied by the fact that 3 generations had worked it. The Pasties were great, in fact I preferred them to a Cornish pastie. They also had a nice selection of cakes and good coffee. You could sit outside in the sunshine or take your food away. The shop had a constant stream of customers and the staff were friendly and efficient and allowed me to take photos both inside and out

Every time we visit Manchester (at least once a year), we always visit Carrs for snacks and to restock our freezer. Their original pasty, steak pasty and sausage rolls are superb and put another popular outlet that serves similar produce to shame. This time we found the newer shop on Manchester Road as we normally visit the original and smaller one on Halliwell Road.

Don't waste your time. Ordered a wrap and a toastie both advertised to be served with crisp. Chose to ADD a side of fries for £2 and was served a pancake flat store bought white breaded "toastie" with a small basket of unseasoned fries. When I got up to ask where there the crisps were as no one had bothered to check was everything OK with our food/offer condiments etc, I was told its company policy that the fries replace the handful of crisps.... Paid at the counter and was asked how was our meal, argued with my feedback that it was petty and poor service. Won't be returning for food that makes wetherspoons looks michellin star quality. Much better options nearby.
