Having seen the reviews we booked for 5 and was satisfied with the food . The service however was very poor. Nobody asked if we wanted drinks , we had to find someone every time. Finished plates and glasses were only taken away after we pointed it out , despite waitresses walking past several times. The wrong meal was presented to my partner who then had to wait another 15 minutes for her replacement. A drinks order was incorrect when brought to us. In summary it's the worst service we've ever experienced in an eaterie. The food was fine .

I have been to retreat before and know ppl that come here regularly n have never had an issue like this before which is why I am very shocked this has happened to me. I went to retreat with my mum on Wednesday n ordered smoked chicken pasta. I thought the chicken tasted a bit funny (mainly hard n dry) so I left half of it. Few hours later when I got home (didn’t eat anything since that meal) I was vomiting and had diarrhoea. This carried on through the night, I threw up around 7 times… clearly food poisoning and I am guessing it was the chicken. I am only today after two days feeling better. Wish I had never gone ..

Service, is perfect. Venue is a little bit over top for burgers and pizza. Food, the food is OK. Cheese garlic bread was great, korean crispy chicken was delicious but..... the retreat burger. Tasteless over cooked puck. Extra bacon was disgrace. Minted lamb leg was OK, mash and veg OK but roast spuds were disgusting and tasted of old overused oil. Frankly dissapointed with the Retreat. Definitely won't be returning.

Sadly, a massive disappointment which left me feeling very guilty as my best friend offered to treat me to Sunday lunch. We arrived on time (12.30) but had a long wait after ordering. No reflection on the young waiting staff, who were attentive throughout. I ordered lamb roast lunch, which arrived on cold plates, and food only luke warm. The main issue was the meat (which seemed more like beef in fact) but was completely inedible due to being so tough. One soggy Yorkshire pudding served with it, a solid mass of mash, plus totally soft "roast" potatoes. The remainder veg too hard. As a keen cook myself, I felt the chef/cook here needs some basic tuition in many areas. The food had simply just been heated up in a microwave and plonked on a cold plate, so unappealing and unappetising. My friend equally disappointed with her meal. Such a contrast to The Retreat in Bromley Cross, where the standard is constantly excellent. No return visit for us, I'm afraid.

Such a beautiful place to spend time with friends and family whatever the season is, not just during the summer, even during the winter you can surely sit outdoors, they have tables in booths with heating. It is so easy to book over the phone, even for large numbers they don't make a fuss. The staff are friendly. There's accessible parking, and the seating areas inside are also gorgeous! Looking forward to visiting again!

We had our works Summer Do at Retreat Bolton last night and can’t thank the team there enough for making it a fantastic do! It was organised at short notice with Jack the manager who met us on arrival. We had been given a private area for the 30+ of us, our own bar and waitress. We had food provided, a selection of pizzas, picky food and chips and it was all hot, fresh and delicious. We will definitely look to book future events there and highly recommend!

Been to this retreat before no complaints. However this time was very very disappointing. We was seated & not told any information about the soup of the day or the fact the pizza oven wasn’t in use. The second server (didn’t get her name) was so lovely. We ordered a garlic bread for starter to then be told the pizza oven wasn’t working (it was what it was) we then just ordered two mains. When they arrived my chicken burger & chips were completely burnt to a crisp very disappointed. I did send it back and another was brought out however it kind of put me off. My mums arrived & it just wasn’t appetising. As I went to the toilet i could see multiple tables with garlic bread & pizzas which was very frustrating considering we had to change what we was going to order

I arranged my mother's wake at The Retreat due to its proximity to Overdale Crematorium. When I increased the food order the day before the event, I was informed they had no record of my booking, despite being told previously where our group would be seated (on the front patio). Upon arrival, nothing was ready. I had to repeatedly ask four times for tea and coffee to be served and an additional two times for milk. When the food finally arrived, it was placed on a table where our guests were seated, which I found inappropriate, so I had to request it be moved elsewhere. The cold buffet was overpriced considering the small portions, with an unusually large amount of coleslaw, which felt like a cheap filler. When two extra guests arrived, I requested additional chairs, but the waiter informed me they couldn’t provide any. The staff appeared indifferent and uninterested in ensuring our comfort. Given the circumstances, the service was disappointing, and I would neither recommend nor return to this establishment.

Was really excited to go here for tea as we’ve been recommended to go here by friends. Everything was fine at first then the food came out. The pizza did not have mozzarella cheese on it. It was pre grated cheese that didn’t melt properly. The chips weren’t fully cooked still hard on the middle. When asked to take the pizza off the bill the waitress storms into the kitchen and said “What the f**k is wrong with people”.

Arrived here early with the intention of having a beer....presented with a 15 minute queue. Sat down for food at the alloted time and ordered. Waited 45 mins for the starter and when it arrived it was very nice, then another 40 mins for our main course, my partner didn't enjoy her skewer as the lamb was very tough, I ordered the crusted lamb with ratatouille and root vegetable crisps...the root vegetable crisps never surfaced, too hungry to turn it back. Staff very good, the supervisor looked a little stressed because she wanted it all to go well, you can't criticise a member of staff for that. Would I go again? Yes, but when it's less busy......Retreat Bolton is much better than Retreat Adlington. It does make me wonder, are we too forgiving for not getting the service we have paid for.....my meal came minus an ingredient but yet I said nothing for fear of embarrassing staff.

Previous I dined at the Retreat in Adlington. I was less than complimentary. Today I dined at the Retreat in Bolton. I have to say it was very good. The service could have been quicker, but perhaps that is being a bit picky. The food was tasty and generous portions. I had the nachos to start and pick ribs for my mains. No negative remarks from me it was hot, on hot plates. Excellent. All in our party enjoyed our food. There were plenty of other people dining, so they must be doing something right

Came to Bolton for a theatre trip, and had to find somewhere quick for food. Stumbled across this place, and hands down the best food me and my girlfriend have had for a long time. We both work in high end hospitality, and was very impressed with how quick and professional the service was. There’s not much to do in Bolton and we joked about how we’ll never be back, but after this, we’ll be back just for this place. 10/10 experience and food, thank you

Decided to go for dinner. Been here previously with friends and we just wanted a simple pub dinner. The visit was simply not worth our time. The food was poor, sub standard. For pre prepped food even that got wrong. It tasted as if left to stand for long, not fresh, chicken wings had a small and the meat just looked off, items were cold, pizza undercooked, the atmosphere and amateur service was not as it should be. The place was unclean with dust showing and chewing gum stuck to the wall which would have been there from the lool for a while… our seats had crumbs which showed poor cleansiness… even glass marks on the table. .. we cant be coming here and be treated like a conveyor system… shame all round..

We booked as a family of 8.. The atmosphere is really lovely, the food just isn’t up to scratch, we had wings and ribs to start, they both came cold, ribs were really fatty and not much flavour. Beef brisket meal was dry and again not flavoursome.. pepperoni pizza tasted like pieces of smoked ham rather than pepperoni pieces, didn’t enjoy at all. The goujons were well over cooked on the kids meal, they just ate the chips, seems like they had been cooked then re-cooked before serving. Desserts were on par with the quality of food through the night, not tasteful at all, lemon cheesecake was bland which is shocking for a citrus dessert, kids didn’t enjoy their ice cream and said it wasn’t flavoursome. Such a shame as the ambience is really nice and welcoming, the waiters were lovely although we were told to hurry up as they needed the table back.. service was on the slow side so I felt that this wasn’t really fair, for a £270 bill, I couldn’t justify it at all, I’ve had nicer food for much less price. Second time this has happened so won’t be coming back unfortunately.

The staff have always been lovely but recently Jack and David have made the dining experience just wonderful. We never feel rushed -there is always a smile and nothing is too much trouble . Definitely recommend and hopefully you’ll get served by Jack or David to make your dining experience even better. Thank you to the retreat for making me and my friend always feel so welcome.

Called in for a quick lunch. Food was ok for the price paid (lunchtime specials). Staff were pleasant and very well presented, clean and tidy which was nice to see. There was an overwhelming smell of fish on the approach, which put us off asking for a fish dish... fresh fish shouldn't smell. What let this place down was the general cleanliness. The ladies toilets were filthy and had no toilet roll. Obviously checks had not been made. The restaurant was grubby. Dusty shelving area around the fixed seating, you could have left a message in. The chairs were dirty and needed a good wipe. If you're going to accessories, then at least keep them clean. Finger prints all over the mirrors. This was a lunchtime visit so no excuse, this place hasn't had a good clean in a while!!

This smart bar and restaurant is walking distance from our house, so we call in for drinks from time to time. This latest visit was late afternoon on a early autumn Saturday and it proved to be really nice. It was quite warm, so we took a table outside in amongst the trees And we found it very comfortable. I think there may be table service but we just bought our drinks inside the lovely bar area and took them out with us. The service was fast and friendly, and they have a good range of drinks at fairly standard prices. Plenty of free parking outside and although we don't eat there they do have an extensive food menu as well.

Great food, though would like more vegetarian choice. Lovely staff who can't do enough for you. Lovely outdoor space. Great value for money! Loved it!

We visited this venue mid week for a lunchtime treat. The building has been converted from an old stone church and they have made a tremendous job of it with an upstairs terrace and lots of outside space . The service was also excellent and the food was value for money. Our only complaint was that they add 10% service charge to every bill which we feel is both unfair and unreasonable . When most people pay bye card these days they hand their card over without checking the bill and don't even realise this 10% has been added whether they are happy with the service or not ! this we find totally unexceptable and would definitely put us off recommending to our friends or visiting on a regular basis . We have mentioned our concerns to the management but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears.

Called in on a Friday night for a bit to eat with friends! Not impressed at all, the menu wasn’t brilliant, we ordered food, 2 meals came out at the same time, I had to ask 3 time for our friends meal, which was just a garlic bread with cheese, we got fed a couple of poor excuses, the dough was off, but another member of our party had a pizza??? Is finally came out when we’d finished ours! Around 30 mins late! Also ordered drinks and again had to ask for them 3 times. When we got our drinks got another weak excuse “we had the change the barrel” not sure why it took another 30 mins to change?? A really poor effort! Considering the restaurant was empty! Should of been a sign!! If you going to the Retreat head to the one In Adlington a far better experience!!!

We came in on spec after burying ashes at overdale. There were 10 of us the food was lovely and the service was good. However we had the feeling it was a bit too posh, when leaving there were a few looks from staff that left me feeling uncomfortable. We took some meat the kids left as scraps for my cats, I don't think this was appreciated but it would have been thrown away....

Interesting and innovative menu. First rate food - the emphasis here is on really fresh ingredients. Three of us had an excellent light lunch and very much enjoyed it. Good service. Sensible prices. Lovely restaurant situated within the hall. Highly recommended.
