Rivington Lodge in Bolton

very comfortable surroundings, food was fine, coffee disappointing . As a previous reviewer has said, the more well known you are locally, the better the service? Would go again though

We heard good things about this place, but were slightly disappointed. We became invisible for 5 minutes at the bar when we walked in, even though we were the only ones waiting: we were just ignored despite half a dozen staff milling around. The place is very popular and if you are known then you are cossetted. Food was OK but Prawns for starters and Lemon Sole for mains (small portion) was well over cooked. Decore recently updated but stll has a homely feel. We'll give it a second chance only because there are a shortage of anything like decent restaurants round here. Real ale served which was a plus
