Red Lion in Bolton

Lovely food and lovely friendly polite staff

A great place for the family to have a good pub classic meal. The wacky warehouse attached to it is also a good place to take the kids 👍

As a gluten intolerant person I found the menu clear and the burger was one of the best I've had since I went Gluten Free. Staff were polite and welcoming.

Everything was amazing good service especially from Hannah.

Came early evening for tea. Friendly welcome and service from all staff. We both had the Ruddles steak and ale pie. It was fresh, hot and delicious. The restaurant was clean and tidy but in need of refurbishment as is the exterior of the building. Looking forward to visiting again, a varied menu with affordable prices for all. Thank you

First time here today and we will definitely be returning. Lisa was very attentive too! Thank you

Visited the red lion for my daughters birthday. Customer service was exceptional, especially Lisa who was brilliant with children and very helpful

Having rated this venue 5 stars many moons ago, I'm disgusted with the ignorance and lack of responsibility the place had taken for the viral video showing a rodent freely roaming around the inside, under tables and chairs while other customers sit in disbelief. A statement saying they'd closed for a deep clean and had somebody in to sort the issue may have quelled the discontent locally instead you've publicly pretended there isn't an issue and failed to give any reassurance.

One of our favourite spots to eat and bring the kids to play in the wacky!! Also next to a fab country park so we went on a nice spring walk after our meal so we didn’t feel guilty for everything we ate and the puddings we had!! Would recommend this place to everyone.

Just had 2 meals for £12.99 and the meals were huge and arrived 10 mins after ordering and tasted lovely. The staff were very polite and courteous and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

If coukd give 0 i could,foods absolutely rank staff are rude and mouthy foods always burnt or undercooked. THEN mice running around your tables why eating your food🤢🤢🤢🤢discusting

Disgusting place very very dirty waited over an hour for our food . When it did come there was a long hair in my mums food and a big rat on the car park. Sticky tables and the toilets looks like they have never been cleaned VILE PLACE STAY AWAY 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Our favourite spot to tire our girls out! Amazing play place. Super friendly staff and very accommodating. Each time we drive past Whacky Warehouse Red Lion my girls will shrieks wanting us to go over ♡♡♡

Lisa was our server and she.was attentive and looked after us well

Fantastic breakfast and great service from Lisa.

Fantastic service from Lisa. Great service and always smiling

Fantastic Easter bunny, interacted with the kids, food was lovely and hot. Fast service. Recommend

Breakfast with the Easter bunny was fab fun for all.. Lisa was great.. would recommend

Lisa serves us and was really nice, unfortunately food was not great. Kids sausage stated pirk sausage but when came was Lincolnshire or Cumberland & was very over cooked. Turkey Sunday lunch not good either stuffing extremely over cooked and roasted potatoes. New York chicken was good though and value for money

Fantastic Easter breakfast at Red Lion. Wonderful service and atmosphere

What a lovely family experience. All the staff and especially the Easter bunny were really attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Really good value for money too. We will definitely be back next year! 🐰

The service from a lady called lisa was excellent very friendly. The food was lovely and warm and came out together

Staff member Lisa was very friendly, helpful & professional 👍

Lisa, Neil and the rest of staff really looked after us, good food at good prices we shall be back!

Lovely food, brilliant staff, Lisa was very attentive! Thank you

Really friendly staff, great food for the price too! Very family friendly :)

Food was great and I had a nice ice cold Guinness

Thanks for the food it was lovely

To say we were letdown would be an understatement. From the outside at a quick drive past is looks like a great place to visit alas inside it needs a big Refurbishment. Food was bland and cold. Doubt we will return realy gone downhill. But the ice cream wow that was somthing.

Staff really friendly and lovely,Food on the other hand was horrible everything had the same burnt oil from the chip pan taste,the burger had big hard bits inside and the sausage had a off meat taste.I am definitely not in a rush to spend all that money in that place again

Lisa served us and was a great server and we got great service from them . Great tasting food definitely recommend to anyone looking to go for a meal with friends or family.

Lisa was lovely and welcoming :)

Rubbish food for birthday girl but Lisa staff who served always been great service every time we come

Come here with my husband on 1st April for some pub lunch. Great food the new chicken sandwich on garlic bread is so delicious! Staff were so lovely welcoming and friendly Lisa the waitress had lovely smile and was very attentive with what ever we needed, praises all round Definitely would come back again.

We go to the quiz here almost every week and it is a lovely community! Also the wacky is great for the kids #tillysturles

Food was good and service excellent, special shout to the lady who was in charge of the wacky warehouse, when she wasn't serving she was cleaning the area thoroughly

Amazing place me and my family love attending,the food is amazing and the staff are amazing with there service and understanding of when on of my children as an outburst due to being autistic

The place have engineer in don't come

Girls on where lovely and polite music was at a perfect level and the food was absolutely spot on…. Steak wonderful x

I had high hopes, but unfortunately i was disappointed. The coffee i ordered came half filled in a massive mug, and it was very strong, like a plain shot of espresso strong , i then asked for milk and they gave me cold milk (maybe i should have specified that i wanted warm milk ), i took the coffee back and they said they made it in a cup that is to big and they remade it ,good on them for the effort, still bad tasting coffee. We then ordered the halloumi strips for starters and it was golden crispy delicious, i then ordered a southern fried chicken wrap and tbe tortilla lookss half raw and tasted chewy and inside there was a little bit of green and cut up breaded chicken Breast in, no sause or mayo or anything else inside the wrap, the chips that came with it was steak cut chips, that was mediocre. I had an Apple and berry crumble for desert and that wasn't bad, but i had bettwr crumble at simular places. My Husband had a quadzilla and he said the beef patty was good but the butter milk chicken breasts were soggy. He had thw ultimate big candymania, it was massive, might be that we missed that its a shared dessert, but it waz delicious regardless. The seating was a bit cramped when we were there.

Rachael was lovely & very approachable. The food was delicious especially the tandoori chicken sizzler. 10/10 and the service was outstanding. Rachael gave the kids colouring to keep them occupied. We will be back :)

Took my family here this evening after it being recommended and what a disappointment all the food was burnt or undercooked I got a mixed grill and here are pictures of the chickenbwhich as you can see was burnt and the steak was supposed to be medium/well done and if i didnt know better it looked like it should have still been in the field there was a pool of blood on my plate it was that under cooked . As for my wife's salmon it was bland and no taste how they can make it tasteless is beyond me. The place was dirty with what looked like dog fouling all over the carpet and the smell was awful my daughter actually commented that the toilets was the cleanest and best smelling part of the pub. It was that bad my kids love deserts and was begging to go rather than have there deserts. Overall this is the worse place I have eaten in a long time

Top quality food and excellent service 7☆

Not clean toilets, very dirty floor.

We had a great time. Good service, and lovely food.Defo.go again.top banana..

Amazing service. From the minute we arrived the first impression was great, very welcoming, very friendly and caring. Catered for 30 of us for my friends birthday and non was disappointed. John's service was 10/10 absolute credit to the business. Keep up the good work

Come tonight for my sisters birthday. I came here tonight for my sisters birthday. Can I just say John is the most kindest more welcoming guy I have ever met. He’s made all of our night. Thanks so much!!

Come in tonight for my daughters 26th birthday. Amazing service from start to finish. Very welcoming. John absolutely made our night. Credit to the buisness

Sam was lovely and gave great service food was great and allergy friendly great help with allergies

Excellent service and good value for money. Staff were so polite and helpful! Would highly recommend.

There was a problem and the staff went above and beyond for us i am extemely grateful

Always a good time when we pop in for food staff are always understanding and happy to help

The teams are amazing here especially Leonie, and Lisa today they were both very accommodating manager on duty was Rachel today the place was spike and spa and had a lovely relaxing atmosphere.

Great food. Really good service from Lisa.

Lisa is fabulous and really looked after us!

Had a birthday party here and we all had a great time.

Ordered food and drinks for table service and after 10 mins I went bar to see what was taking so long, a lady had just started shift and didn't know where any of previous shift staff were, so I deducted 1 star for service ad everything else was spot on. The staff were polite, efficient, friendly and accommodating. Food I've given 5 stars but it deserved more. It tasted better than could be expected and was more than could be eaten. The meat was cooked to perfection. Atmosphere only got 1 star as there was nobody else there (including staff when I arrived). Would I return? Already got it planned for in a couple of weeks. Wasn't a fan of the attached Wacky Warehouse as staff was rude, and abrupt, whilst not enforcing the rules she had just read out. More interested in doing absolutely nothing than wanting to serve customers as well.

There appears to be a lot of fake reviews for this place, so I'll put one in that's real. Food is dire. The kids' play area is awful, dirty, and desperate for a refurb. (it needed one a decade ago).

We came in for a family meal food was really hot and nice. Staff really friendly and welcoming great service

Booked a table for food for my daughters birthday the staff was brilliant food was bang on aswell would recommend to anyone

Always have a good meal in here. Love the mega breakfast

Service was great and couldn't fault the food 5*

Pub was completely empty and food came out just warm, wait time was fairly long with it being empty and serving staff was ignorant and seemed like they didn't or couldn't be bothered serving us will not be going again

Lovely meal and service, especially by Kevin who was very attentive. We had the veggie lasagna and that was very nice.

Great food, good value and excellent service from Neil and Kevin

Was here today 1st Feb , and although I ordered the wrong thing , Jon went above and beyond to get the food i wanted. And when it arrived it was delicious! Piping hot Brilliant service , food is lovely and staff are helpful
