Ewe Restaurant And Bar in Bolton

Terrible worst Sunday roast I’ve ever had. Pork belly was terrible.

The choice of dishes is very poor. The establishment has nothing to attract. The prices are definitely too high!!! The pizza is no different from the one we buy in the supermarket, only it is very small and designed for one person. The cocktail is in a glass full of ice and when I take it out there is only 1/4 of the cocktail left in the glass... It turns out I am paying over £10 for ice and they don't ask me if I want it or not. The large canape of chicken liver pate was no different from the store bought pate in terms of weight. It was simply strewn with flowers. It is obvious that the restaurant does not strive to feed its guests well. The food is mediocre, like from stores, only 3-4 times more expensive! The cocktail is just a full glass of ice and a little drink at the bottom! I do not recommend this place! And yes, guys, why do you brazenly add tips??? If a person is happy with the food and service, he will still leave a tip... But if he is not happy, then why should he leave a tip????

A very decent restaurant. Nice environment. Staff is very friendly and helpful and the food is great! Definitely gonna visit again! Must try the slow-roasted pork belly. Skip the fats and eat the crispy glazed pork skin together with the lean meat with cranberry sauce and gravy. Yummy 😊

What can I say about this place other than fantastic. We've visited this place over 10 different times for different occasions. The service and food has been faultless, we obviously love the roasts they do here on a Sunday too. This is one of our favourite restaurants to go to now. Please never change!

Excellent food and staff so helpful and friendly

Great food drinks and atmosphere would highly recommend

First time there loved the lay out went for lunch food lovley service great

Mid week the atmosphere is great and relaxing, quite lively at a weekend. we have had 1 bad service experience previously however, this seems to have been rectified which is great. Menu has a lot of choice and they will accommodate dietary requirements too. Hope it continues to grow in strength!

We ate early (6pm) on a Friday night. I ordered Chicken supreme which said it came with a red lentil dahl. The chicken was ok but the dahl was so spicy I wasn't enjoying it. I am a regular curry eater so I was surprised I was finding this so spicy. Maybe a bad choice on my part, but if a dish is super spicy,it would be good to be warned when ordering. My daughters pizza looked good. My friend ordered the steamed cod which looked nice, if maybe a bit small for money? Check your bill closely, we had been billed for alcohol when we all had soft drinks

The beef wellington is outstanding. The service is always spot on. They usually have some live artist on the at the weekend so it's nice to sit in the bar before or after a meal.

Lovely place to be food was excellent great service all very good apart from the 10% service charge

Beautiful place and the food is fab

At first I thought I'd paid £50 for one tiny steak for me and my wife but the waiter told me it was 'Chateaubriand' and it sounded fancy, so I took a photo of it and sent it to some people I worked with five years ago to show off I thought £4.50 was very reasonable for a coke (I could have got ten for £50) and whilst I had to ask my wife to limit what she ate, I felt like a big man Also, loved how no one criticised Gareth Southgate. Only slight criticism is it wasn't as good as a Frango's

A little disapointed with lunch today. Really bothered with fly's which seemed to be every where. Had the carrot and coriander soup to start which was tasty but far to thick for my liking. I followed this with fish chips and mushy peas. Fish was really nice, not enough peas and chips not good tasted like frozen chips. I would say that my experience today was ok but nothing great unfortunately. The decor and staff who are very attentive, make this restaurant. Would I come back again maybe

Had a 3 course, food was excellent, from starter to desert. The main Rump steak was cooked perfectly. The portions were very generous and very filling. The staff were very professional and always there, the atmosphere was very good. Had a really enjoyable night. Will definitely be coming back.

Our 1st time here, we went around lunch time - so we selected from the lunch menus (more extensive in the evenings) we could not fault the food - everything was perfect, great friendly service and ovely surroundings. We will definitely be back and looking forward to trying the evening menu 😋

Really nice place, friendly atmosphere excellent. Slight delay in getting to the table buy very courteous staff apologetic about that. Food very good, although slightly under seasoned fish, but still very nice. All in all very good.

We have been here on many occasions and it's always been mostly pleasant. Today we went for lunch and had a lovely meal but it was let down by the attitude of the on duty manager and we came away feeling upset, angry and embarrassed. We decided to have a lunch deal (see photo) soup+lunch bite+ soft drink £17.95 but when we came to pay they had charged us £50 in instead of £35 so we queried it and we were told because we had a Fanta orange (soft drink) it wasn't in the deal (no mention or exception indicated on the menu or the waitress not saying that isn't included either) that was the price. My partner had a diet coke which apparently is in the deal and she had steak but on the bill they had charged us full price for this and put through my cheaper food option as in the deal, this is shocking practice. When the the manager came over he was blaming us and his attitude was we were at fault because we didn't order properly and spoke to us as if we were two little children and being told off, I certainly didn't care for his attitude and it is not our fault if Fanta orange is included in the soft drink section of the drinks menu and your menu is incorrect and the fact you don't train your staff properly. I'm not certain I will return to this restaurant, there is plenty of other places within the area that are actually better.

Sofia , Izzy and Faye looked after me tonight , food was exceptional , everything was cooked and done as I asked , the pairing with the wines was brill , the starter was great , the assistance with the menu was excellent , fine dining at its best , the Sunday lunch was cooked exactly to how I liked it and how I asked , cauliflower cheese was fantastic. Highly recommend , service , food , atmosphere , full package , a really good find.

We visited here for my husbands birthday celebrations. The food was amazing the drinks were flowing and it had a fantastic atmosphere!! The staff even went to the trouble of surprising my husband with a birthday desert!! Definitely recommend to friends and family for celebrations!!

Good restaurant with friendly service and a wide selection of lunch menus at fair prices. Reservations are recommended as it is also busy at lunchtime. The dishes were freshly prepared and the waiting time was surprisingly short. The service was very friendly and helpful. Using credit cards is absolutely hassle-free. A recommendation at any time, whether it's lunch or dinner.

Visited on a Tuesday night for a 60th Birthday. Food was excellent and the setting is really nice and welcoming. Service was a bit slower than I would have liked and took a bit too long to come to us for drinks orders. Chips got forgotten for one of the meals so we had to wait for them to come out. Overall a good experience but unsure of what the service would be like on a packed Saturday.

Had a great meal here on Friday (Ribeye steak with peppercorn sauce and chunky chips), my girlfriend was equally happy with her salmon. Good to have a decent draught IPA and the pianist/singer added to the atmosphere. Excellent service from every member of staff; greeters, bar staff and waiter. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Taken as a birthday celebration by a friend. Sadly only one option on the gf main menu (shepherds pie) and the two usual options ice cream or Eaton Mess for dessert. Boring 🥱 Delightful settings and very clean. Service poor considering at lunch time and not over busy. Sadly I won’t be returning or recommending until gf is highlighted on the menu (not having to sift through every course on a scrap of paper). Fortunately the company was good sadly not the gf options 😢

Delicious food on the meal deal! Huge main portions, but waited awhile and had a pud. Left some of each though, which seemed a shame.

Lovely food. Great service. A nice outdoor space where dogs are welcome

Just been to Ewe for a meal lovely little place food was amazing didn’t get photos but will be back

Lovely food, location and atmosphere. Service is excellent too.

The food was amazing and the staff very attentive. Would highly recommend a visit.

We loved the food and atmosphere. We had a table for 8 and the service was fantastic !

Overrated, expensive, noisy. Food mediocre. Cherry Tree much better. Won't go again.

Excellent food, tasty and great value. Really nice decor and the service was first class. We came for lunch and will definitely be back for the evening menu. Can recommend

Nice place and staff. Food was a bit of a let down in my opinion. Had the steak baguette and there was very little steak in it - took 2 bits of the bread to reach it. It also wasn't that warm. Chips were cold too and sent back, as were 2 other tables. Hope Usain Bolt had better service

Just returned from your restaurant having booked a table for 4 people for 19.45pm. After waiting 40 minutes for our starter. Left the restaurant at 21.20 after waiting for our main meal and being given excuses due to large party of 40.

1st trip.....Will definitely not be my last. The waitress was both friendly and attentive. The food was excellent and very tasty. Tomato & roasted red pepper soup was hot and very tasty. Followed that with steak frites.....lovely succulent steak and crispy fries. Enjoyed it all! I'll definitely be back.....soon.

First time here with my partner and daughter. And we loved every bit of the meal. Everything was fresh and very tasty. The deco is beautiful. Very homely. Our waiter zac was very polite as was all the staff. Highly recommented 100%. We will be back very soon much love to all the staff

I took my son here today for an impromptu lunch and we could not have been happier. From being greeted at the door, to the end of the meal we were made to feel special and welcome. The food was amazing and the service was friendly and prompt. I will be making this one of my regular haunts and I would highly recommend. Well done team, and thankyou 👍 👏

We went to Ewe last night for my daughters 18th birthday meal and we had the most fantastic time, the food and drink was amazing and the staff were lovely, nothing was to much trouble, the decor is absolutely beautiful too, Thankyou Ewe for helping us give my daughter a birthday to remember ❤️xxxx

Lovely restaurant with delicious food, great staff and amazing cocktails.

The food here was absolutely delicious and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. The shepherds pie was the best I've ever eaten. A lovely atmosphere and gorgeous cocktails. Would recommend.

Came today to celebrate mine and my husbands anniversary as we have come before and enjoyed the food and service, however today was a different story. To begin with we had waited a while to be served. The waitress seemed more interested in the other tables and seemed to completely ignore us which we felt was incredibly rude, we had to call her over when we wanted drinks as we had been sat a while with empty glasses. I ordered the fillet steak, when it came it was over cooked, so I sent it back, the waitress came back over to tell me how I was wrong and it was Medium (the steak was brown with the smallest dot of pink in the middle, Medium is alot more pink) I then showed her how a Medium steak should look. She continued on saying do I want it Medium rare to which I replied no I want it Medium. She continued on and was very condescending. My husband had to eat his meal before it got cold so we was eating at completely different times this was our anniversary we wanted to eat together. There was no apology. When the new steak came, She came to me and said is that better for you. I replied yes it is, thankyou to which she replied well its Medium rare, I thought to myself she is being extremely rude! It was not Medium rare, Medium rare has it slightly rare in the middle this steak was not. I was going to order desert, my husband doesn't eat desert so he had ordered soup to come for when I was going to have desert. After this experience we cancelled his soup and decided to leave early as we both felt extremely uncomfortable. I can understand getting the temperature of steak wrong it happens sometimes, I don't understand the rudness and condescending attitude from the waitress, she has completely ruined mine and my husbands meal.

Great service, good food, lovely place

Great food, friendly staff and service is excellent...highly recommended 👌

Lovely food and atmosphere making our lunchtime visit very chilled. Would recommend 👌

Can't knock it. Service, ambiance and quality of food top drawer. Reasonable priced.

Chose Sunday roast chicken lunch Plenty of chicken, well cooked and tasty. Probably a bit pricey but enjoyed what I'd ordered. Staff helpful & pleasant

Visited here last night with my partner. Lovely local restaurant. Ate around 7pm, wasn’t overly busy and service was quick. Highly recommend the Shepherd’s Pie!

Lovely bar and restaurant. We were served by Ryan who was excellent. The food was lovely - I had the beef wellington - and the price reasonable.

Had a meal here last night, found it strange that we couldn't add drinks onto our table bill when we arrived and pretty sure we were overcharged for the drinks. £20 for a single G&T and pint of lager seems a lot! Disappointed with the main meals, fillet steak at £28 came with a tiny salad only and the wrong sauce, felt like I got half a meal and then had to pay extra for the accompaniments to go with it. I expected more with it for £28! Again beef wellington at £35 very expensive for what my wife got.

Nice place, beautiful interior, good menu little on the more expensive side. Had the mini hamburgers and truffle fries, tasty

Waited an hour and a half for "Bottomless pancakes" for them to only bring out 2 pancakes. After speaking to the manager we were "prioritised" and continued to wait a further 30 minutes all the while 2 tables near us had sat down, had starters and a main then left.

It's the third time we have been in the last few months , and everything was first class .

Thanks to all the staff it was my partner 60th birthday meal we where well look after 😀 and the food was great

Went for my birthday meal, food was absolutely shocking and sent back. No applogies from management, no attempt to make anything right. Over priced plates that need a fortune on sides to make it a meal.

First visit for me and was very impressed , excellent service and couldn't fault the food , had a good choice of beers as well , will definitely be returning

This inconspicuous place has been outstanding every visit. Excellent food, lovely atmosphere- perfect!

Called in here a couple of weeks ago for lunch. We had not booked and it was not busy. It is quite nice inside, but it was very cold outside. It was not too warm inside either, and there were several electric heaters plugged in near where we had been say, even though there was air on and they could have had it on heating mode. We chose the light lunch options. They were ok but not really as expected. Might be different at night with a full restaurant and background heat on. I think it is a bit overpriced compared to other restaurants but that is my opinion. Plenty of parking spaces though, so no problem there.

Some of the nicest food I’ve ever had. And to have this locally is amazing! Definitely a special occasion type of place however worth every penny! Service, food and atmosphere I cannot fault in the slightest. A table of 4 and everybody was 100% happy and impressed with their food. Well done Ewe

The venue and food were perfect, beautifully decorated and the food was of a very high standard. My only gripe was receiving a service charge on my bill of 10%, of which no prior notice is given. I usually decide my tip based on the service given, I certainly don't like being forced into paying it, how very American! For this reason, we wouldn't eat here again which is a shame.

First visit and definitely won’t be the last. Food and service were excellent. A good selection of wines, and nice to enjoy a cocktail in the bar afterwards.Already looking forward to our next visit

4.5star. Lovely restaurant, the food was fantastic especially dessert, everybody enjoyed their meal. I'd personally like a bigger list of red wines. Only downside was a service charge on the bill, I'd rather not be told what my tip will be but overall very good!

Every visit has lived up to our expectations

Food was good and the service was attentive. The desserts were particularly good. Loud music with other diners trying to talk over the music made it especially loud, so it was hard to talk at the table. This rather spoilt what would otherwise have been a 5 star review.

A great lunch/dinner spot just off the M61. We met friends on our way down South and the food was lovely (particularly the bread and butter pudding, and Fish & Chips!). It was gorgeously decorated for Christmas and the staff were very welcoming. The Roast Dinner is well recommended by my friends’ too!

Decent food but staff attentiveness a d organisation let's the place down... Pre booked party of 10 and the hospitality was shocking!!!!!

Went xmas lunch so so nice , great food , great sevice lovely atmosphere. Definitely recommend!!

Food tonight was amazing really good staff friendly and the place is spotless just to dear got a shock when the bill came way over priced won't be visiting again at those prices way to expensive.

Went over last wednesday for lunch with my friend, the soup was delicious and plentyfull.we had fish and chips just right size fish and chips.which we couldnt get through as filled from the soup.the staff were really nice.and the restataunt was spotless we had the lunch menu for set price.will be back.

Gorgeous place, real feel of elegance about it! Food was of a very high standard and presentation was superb! Service was a little slow but to be honest it was really nice to not feel rushed! Felt very welcome here and will defo be returning! Was here for 3 hours (3 course meal and a cocktail to finish). HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Lovely interior , food not that great for the price, been to better places which aren’t as nice inside but food so much better/quality. Should concentrate more on food than interior .

If you want to be wowed this is the place. You will be made welcome and served by staff who are attentive to your needs. Food Amazing... you just gotta go.

We had a perfect experience at Ewe's for our 'Ladies that lunch' Christmas lunch. The food was delicious. We had Christmas dinner and desserts. We also sampled the mocktails.... delicious. Service, friendly, efficient and quick.

I had Fish and Chips here on a Friday. The Fish was luscious, beautifully cooked, flaky, thick creamy flesh with a beautiful batter. Fabulous. The service was pleasant and attentive. No issues. Loos were clean and nice handwash liquids provided. Good parking and plenty of space. Cosy and warm interior, very nicely decorated for Christmas.

Special birthday meal booked for my Mother based on the excellent reviews online. Table booked for 8:30 but we were informed to arrive at 8:15 which we did. Upon arrival we checked in at reception with our name; we were told our table wasn't quite ready but to sit in the bar and wait (not an uncommon practice). First issue arose when the bar did not have either a draft nor a bottle cider made from apples but settled on two pints of Budweiser and a bottle of non-alcoholic beer (priced at over £16 which seems a bit steep). Sat at a table in plain sight of reception and the wait staff, half past comes and goes, we then became aware of the fact people who arrived after us were being seated whilst we still waited. The person who booked our table checked his phone (for the time) at this point and was greeted with missed calls (unable to be heard due to the blaring music in the bar) from the restaurant despite us booking in and sitting there. When we flagged a member of staff down, they stated they must have forgotten to actually mark us off as being there and they'd prepare a table for us now. At this point it was nearly 9pm (8:55pm to be more precise) so we left. I will say the staff member was very apologetic but not sure this standard of service is acceptable as a whole

Super leckeres Essen und tolles Ambiente

The willingness to chat from our host's was a delight...oh and the food is delicious 😋

Went last night to a wreath making class, the guys from the flower shop and the wreath making itself was amazing but the venue let it down. We were served sparkling perry, tasted like the cheapest you could get, when we had paid for Prosecco, the nibble board was between 2 and the serving size was really small, plus the quality was very poor too. Not what I’d have expected from Ewe.

The only thing I could say if it's a cold day don't sit near the entrance door. X food service decor everything was great

Food was very greasy,lack of choice for people who have restrictions on foods, very expensive for choice available

We loved our 1st visit here and will definitely return.

Lovely food but had to wait well over half an hour for our food. Prices very expensive £18.50 for roast beef dinner, very nice but nothing special.

Had a great night took a special friend as a treat was not disappointed

Would definitely recommend this place 👌

Amazing food, atmosphere and service. Lovely night. Will be going back. Sticky toffee pudding is the best!

What an amazing restaurant. The ambience created by the tranquil relaxed atmosphere of the decor and layout blends the restaurant into a real treat. The staff present themselves with a high standard of service, well manoured and helpful. The whole place is spotless and clean. The layout is spacious and easily accessible for and wheelchair users. The food is amazing and the choice on the menu is really good. Something for everyone. Children are well caterd for. The drinks menu has a huge offering from amazing cocktails, wines, and beers. Our children enjoyed the Non alcohol Moktails We highly recommend a visit by far one of the best restaurant In the area.

Just had a lovely meal at Ewe Restaurant. You are hit immediately by the lovely decor and relaxed atmosphere helped by the live music which was the perfect accompaniment. Loud enough so you could hear and appreciate but not too loud so that you cant hold a conversation. The food was absolutely delicious with the spaghetti Ariabatta having real taste and flavour provided by the chilli’s and the Pork Belly Sunday Dinner outstanding. The was was also delicious. The restaurant was busy and had a good atmosphere and I would describe the service as outstanding. All in all a brilliant first visit and will have no hesitation in coming back or recommending to anyone else. A real find.

My daughter and I visited for the first time this week. The manager was delightful. The food was really good. Unfortunately we had a really rude waiter. He was dismissive of my daughter wanting medium steak. He didn't give her chance to rethink or change her order. He then brought our bill without us asking for it. Presumably he wanted us gone. I have only heard good things about Ewe and the atmosphere was relaxed. This is a stylish place to eat. I will definitely return but will hope the waiter is having a better day.

I went here last Friday quite pricey and the drinks are really expensive I personally don't think it's worth the money, also pretty small portions

Came for a birthday meal last night, was waiting for a table to be available for 15 minutes which wasn’t a issue but then got sat next too a very loud table who pretty much spoiled the whole night. The food in its self was bland, truffle arancini was brunt, no truffle no salt pretty tasteless apart from the bitterness. Lamb rack …. What a disappointment lamb was over cooked, new potatoes was still hard and no sauce, for the herb crumb that was no existence. It looks a fantastic site but it’s very much all bark and no bite. Shame because the service was very good.

Over priced, service charge for taking the drinks to a table 20 ft away for my misses and her friends.

The food was excellent. A must is the sticky toffee pudding or the plant pot

Absolutely amazing food. The pork belly bites... omg... could have eaten an entire bowl of them!!! Our waiter was great! (I don't know his name but we discussed living in Australia) he was attentive and so nice.

Made an enquiry to book in for Christmas day over 3 weeks ago by email at their request and got completely ignored, got a response today saying they are now fully booked. Was booked in for afternoon tea on Saturday but will definitely be cancelling

Surprised how little lamb on the menu there is

Really good restaurant with rather a small menu but everything appears to be done really well. The food is really reasonably priced for what it is and can recommend the Sunday roast beef which was one of the best I've ever had. The main thing that lets the place down is the service. There was plenty of staff, but they just weren't attentive enough.

Absolutely loved our night at Ewe . The food was lovely ,the service was excellent & each member was really friendly & the place was just lovely & such a relaxed atmosphere. Can't wait to come back xxx

Rare for us to eat so close to home but the experience was good enough for us to plan to return! Easy to book a table for early evening on a Saturday, it was pretty busy when we arrived. Varied menu choices mean there’s something for just about everyone. Service was efficient but little interaction with customers other than order taking. Food was good and everyone enjoyed there dishes. The only down side was that conversation was difficult due to the loud music.

Service upon arrival was asap, no waiting about a server was straight to us, was really good with allergens when notified them of a peanut allergy, good communication with the kitchen to the waiters, the drinks where dot on, the food took a perfect amount of time to come out to us to set the atmosphere, beautifully design for the interior and exterior, tables had the perfect amount of distance between them so it didn’t seem cramped despite being several tables full around us, staff where amazing and polite, food was amazing, and all beautifully presented, would 100% go again

Enjoyed a birthday meal here - 3 courses and a bottle of wine. Food was perfect, staff really attentive and friendly and lovely ambience in the restaurant. My only slight reservation was the music being played - im not a fan of dance music whilst eating but that probably is my issue alone!

Went for my birthday. Got seated in a bistro type area and the noise was horrendous. We were hoping for a really nice treat. WE LEFT.
