We usually reserve nicks for the speak occasions so I suppose this return after lockdown was special. He had a limited menu all on the big blackboard. Everything looked good so it was hard to choose. For starters we went for tandouri chicken and king prawn followed by hake and sea bass. We finished with bread and butter pudding and Creme broulle. Everything was absolutely delicious . Can't wait to go again. As numbers are limited to the covid setup you will need to book ahead. Enjoy.

A lovely Christmas Eve evening meal with family. The restaurant is small (booking essential), with a homely but lively feel (ask for an upstairs table if you like it a bit quieter). As usual, there was a fabulous choice of Blackboard Specials (Nick is happy to make small tweaks). The crispy duck salad and the scallops (a favourite) were a hit. The dover sole and halibut mains (best to order these in advance) also went down well. Al-dente veggies were served in generous portions, ensuring a balanced meal. Not a huge wine selection, but enough to find something to match most dishes and palates. Our favourite wine was sold out on this occasion, but we really enjoyed our second choice. The staff were welcoming, attentive and helpful - Nick himself always tries to make time to talk to his guests. There really was nothing to fault – if I was to be picky, the Christmas table decorations were pretty much non-existent. Yes, this is pricier than some other places, but you get what you pay for - good quality fresh ingredients, prepared to perfection, with a great vibe. We have never been disappointed here and would highly recommend, especially for a special occasion.

Extremely disappointing Christmas day meal, had been looking forward to it since July.To start the upstairs rooms were cold, then the starters what can I say, my smoked salmon and so called Greenland prawns, the salmon was nice but the prawns were tiny and in some horrible sauce, my fellas scallops were cold.The main course veg was hardly cooked and also cold, the roast potatoes were not really roasted, gravy was not very nice, the only that was hot was the Turkey.His lamb was he said was nicely cooked.The table presentation was none existent.For £85 per person I expected great food and nicely presented tables.Food used to be great here but this has put me off for life.Will not be returning ever.

After visiting Nicks on various occasions over the years we had a meal on Wednesday last week which was outstanding ( Steak night). We decided to try a Sunday roast yesterday as we have never tried this before. All I can say is that the quality of the sirloin served and how it was cooked to your preference could not be faulted. Everything that accompanied the meal was equally as good. Have never had any complaints with any visit here but really enjoyed the Sunday roast, and will definitely be back as soon as possible. Compliments to the chef from all parties on every occasion.

Booked for last night as it was my wife’s birthday and as always we weren’t disappointed. The welcome was cheery, the atmosphere quiet at first as we the only ones in so early. Mind you it soon got busy and the atmosphere soon was great. The order was made from a great selection on the board and arrived quite quickly for every course. Needless to say we cleared every scrap. Delicious as ever that’s why we choose it for our special nights out. We’ve booked again for our anniversary in October. Looking forward already.

Visited Nicks on Friday night after a work colleague had recommended it. It was my anniversary and wanted to treat my wife to something special and Nicks certainly delivered. From the minute we walked in we were given a warm welcome. It’s quite small but that only adds to its charm. The menu has plenty to offer to suite all tastes and the Market Menu is excellent value. My wife is quite the fussy eater but our server was more than happy to change things around to suite my wife’s tastes. The food was outstanding we didn’t have to wait long even though the restaurant seemed to be busy. The portions are extremely generous. The waiting staff kept our drinks topped up all night and always made sure we had everything we needed. This restaurant is definitely one of the finer in Bolton and we will definitely be visiting again. Many thanks to Nick and his staff keep up the great work.

Firstly, positives: the food was very well cooked and prepared and tasty. However, we were shown to our table 20 minutes later without explanation or many words at all to be honest. Luckily we were not put upstairs as it is only a small'ish room and was very loud at times when we sat waiting for our table. Service was good though at one stage the (seemingly harassed) waiter grabbed the wine and hurriedly sloshed it into a glass without asking (she did not want any more) and after this, when we got the sweet menus and waited, and waited, until we decided to forego dessert (as we had been there already over two hours).

I always try to eat here on a return visit to Bolton. This time it was for a family meal. The restaurant is small (booking essential), with a quirky, rustic layout and a lively, but homely vibe (ask for an upstairs table if you like it a bit quieter). As usual, there was a fabulous choice of Blackboard Specials. Nick is always happy to make small tweaks – on this occasion the black pudding on the scallop, pea puree and ham starter was swapped out for asparagus. The rib starter is another favourite. The fish specials (especially the Dover Sole and halibut always go down well, as does the steak Rossini). On this occasion, the ribeye steak for the folks was a tad on the thin side but they absolutely loved the creamy mushroom sauce. Al-dente veggies served in good size sharing portions. There really was nothing to fault - all good quality fresh ingredients, prepared to perfection. Not a big choice of wine but enough to find something to suit most dishes and palates. Despite the restaurant being full, the staff were very attentive and helpful. Pricier than some other places but, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. We have never been disappointed here. Highly recommend, especially for a special occasion.

We went on Wednesday for our friends 70 something birthday. It's a favourite of all 3 of us that's why we keep coming back. The staff re very friendly and helpful. It was again very busy but at nicks busy doesn't mean noisy. I had the salmon, my wife had beef stroganoff and our friend had the duck. All off the market menu. The starters we chose were soup, mushrooms and chicken tandoori. We had fresh strawberries and ice cream to finish off with. There wasn't a scrap left which is unusual for our friend. Chose a special moment and go and try it.

We didn’t catch them on the hop although we were the first in. The great welcome was there as always and our order taken immediately. We chose from the Market menu but don’t think you have to because there is the everyday menu plus a whole board of extra dishes. I had the mussels followed by the salmon and my wife had the pate then the beef stroganoff. Everything was perfect.

Do not be put off by the location as the welcome, the service and the food are all way better than you could imagine in, let's face it, an unpromising location. After we manoeuvred my 96 year old dad in his wheelchair through the narrow entrance everything was way above average - except the prices which were very reasonable for the quality of food. I was delighted to be offered a separate vegetarian menu. The waiting staff timed everything perfectly, nothing was rushed, neither did we feel we were kept waiting. Highly recommended, although my nephew would not be able to get in in his powered wheelchair so if there are mobility issues with any of your party do check in advance.

I have dined here just as a twosome numerous times, as a family and as a whole restaurant booking for a 70th party meal and it is fair to say that Nicks Restaurant has not once failed to deliver excellent service and the most delicious food!

Visited this lovely restaurant last Friday. It's a small and cosy restaurant so booking is essential. We had the three course market menu which was beautiful, good portion size too! The service was great and staff could not do enough for us.

Dieses kleine und charmante Restaurant ist für diejenigen, die auch in England nicht auf gutes Essen verzichten möchten und genug von Burgern und Pies haben, eine echte Empfehlung. Für Fleischfreunde ist es ein Dorado, aber auch für mich als ‚Mister Fleischlos‘ gab es einige schöne Angebote. Insbesondere verschiedene Fischpositionen ermöglichten eine echte Auswahl. Alle Speisen - wir waren zu dritt - waren top und die Mengen mehr als reichlich. Der Service ist präsent und freundlich. Die Preise etwas gehobener, aber in jedem Fall gerechtfertigt. Da das Nick‘s eher klein ist, empfiehlt sich eine Reservierung vorab.

I was recommended Nick's by a personal friend who is also a top chef as a place to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. The party included two vegetarians and three toddler grandchildren. There were no problems on either front. The food was excellent and at a price I would expect to pay for quality, and service was pleasant. The place is intimate but charming. A delightful place for our special celebration. There was a painting of the place on the wall dated 2004. How have I missed this gem all these years?

Really lovely food. Goats cheese and honey starter which was amazingly balanced. Vegetable stroganoff for main but was a little too rich to finish. Was absolutely stuffed. Good portions and good value for money. It’s very small and has a slightly odd layout but I think this adds to the charm. Will definitely return.

Chill @ The Cowshedlocation-icon46 Winter Hey LaneBritish

I can't help but feel they are getting complacent. The service yesterday from the lady wearing a bandana, dark hair was blatently rude!Asked to order quickly, as other people were coming in, then arrived with dirty glasses! Then dirty spoon with my pot of tea!quite rude when asked for ice.Then told a friend "ask someone else for your cake!The food wasn't great either! It was quite dirty yesterday too!Been here several times but yesterday was definitely the last!Such a shame when you want to support local, yet its like slowly watching them going downhill and can't use them due to making you feel rushed and unwelcome from the minute you sit down!

Went in here for breakfast, not been in many years. . No poached eggs or avocado? Not much choice really.I ordered bacon and tomato on toast , was expecting sliced tomatoes instead of half a whole one tbh. Served on a slice of toast and two halves on the side!Other half had full English, 2 bacon, 2 sausages, fried bread, and one choice of other eg..beans,hash browns. Includes tea/coffee and toast £6.50. Latte was served in a tea pot, very odd. It’s a no frills type of place and cheap, if you like that sort of thing give it a try. You get what you pay for I guess.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly greeting from the staff. The carvery was excellent, with a good choice of vegetables and 3 types of cooked meats. Good value for what you get. We will definitely dine here again. We did not have a reservation, next time we will book as the establishment was quite busy. Well done to all of the staff.
