Haveli The Mansion (The New Hare & Hounds) in Bolton

Top class food, service and cost

Had a takeaway tonight, food arrived piping hot good start. When I served it up the sauce was quite watery in both dishes also not much chicken which was a little disappointing and lacking in taste.

Very tasty and fresh breakfast. We ordered 2 peri breakfast baps and desi teas for takeout. The baps were very yummy and the peri sausage was delicious. The service was also fab and welcoming. We will be getting breakfast from here again :)

Really kind and friendly staff. Loads of great options including vegan ones which is massively appreciated. Food really flavoursome and good portions. Ready fast. Decent price point too. Atmosphere wise it's clean and lovely decor. Music not too loud and really nicely decorated. Great business. Will be returning and recommending :)

We booked this after seeing pretty good things, but sadly it missed the mark. We were a party of 7 (2 children), and we were seated right outside the kitchen against a railing, which forced the service staff to lean over some of us to serve half our table as well as being stationed within 3 feet of our table, giving a feeling of being watched the whole time. It seems they have tried to posh up something that frankly didn't need to be, service staff came to remove cultelry after starters, which again was awkward as it interrupted our conversations as we were leaned over or had to hand items over due to poor layout. Despite trying to give a very posh vibe, you don't have a dedicated server to question, as we had one that claimed they can only take drink orders, another for food. I requested the bill from one, which then I had to request to pay by another, it was just a bit of a mess. In regards to food, the starters and mains I cannot fault, there are some great options on the menu and the flavour's were great, although on the slightly higher side cost-wise, I think it was well executed and if I were purely rating on just starters and mains, this would be a 4/5. Sadly we did make the choice to get desserts, 3 of us ordered the orange chocolate cheesecake, which all 3 of us had the exact same reaction when trying it, "there was just no flavour what so ever", these were £5.95 each so you would expect there to be at least a hint of something but it was like eating mildly milk flavoured moose, the children had simple ice cream so no complaints there, our other 2 members got the Chocolate fudge cake also at £5.95 each but one was requested to be in a to go box, the one that was eaten in the restraunt came well presented with chocolate sauce, cream and raspberries and was well enjoyed, sadly the to go one was not the same in the slightest, there was nothing to it just a small slice of a cake in a box which was very dishartening when seen. From this experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant, nor do I believe we would visit again.
