Tavernfayre in Bolton

We was here on Sunday, 6 of us and we all enjoyed our food lasagne, gammon, cheese pie,fish n chips,and 2 roast beef dinners It is not the cheapest of places but the service is good and it has a nice feel about it If you are thinking of going check that it is open first, as it is closing on Sunday 21st May and will be taken over by new people so not sure when it will open again Would I go again ? Yes I think I will give it a go whe it reopens to see what it is like John

We havent been to the Tavern for ages and we realky enjoyed it. The staff were friendly and worked really hard and the food was delicious. When we arrived, we didnt have to wait and was shown to our table straight away. Would recommend the Tavern.

The food was nice cooked well, the steak prices are rather high, they are miller and carter priced but definitely not the quality. The plates were miss matched, and the tannoy system they have introduced lowers the tone a bit bit overall the establishment is pleasant and the staff are lovely.

Another excellent visit to the Tavern. Tasty food, great service and comfortable surroundings. We can’t fault this place.

The Sunday lunch was really good my friends and I thoroughly enjoyed it, the staff were very attentive making sure we had everything we needed I would definitely recommend the roast .

Fabulous meal, food delicious and well presented. Staff very helpful and professional. Highly Recommend.

We had a fantastic afternoon at the Tavern, service was amazing and the food was outstanding. Only heard they did Afternoon Tea when we came for a meal last month, but we will be telling everyone about it. Hoping to make this a regular thing. Such a lovely ambience, staff are amazing and a great team, the service and food has always been outstanding when we have been for meals in the past, but the Afternoon Tea is a fantastic addition. We felt really special. We look forward to future visits!

Have visited a few times lately and really rated it, so decided to book for Xmas eve. We booked the Xmas menu so had pre chosen our meals. We weren't disappointed, portions excellent (you could opt for a smaller portion), everything seemless, vegetables beautifully cooked, deserts delicious, couldn't fault it, will visit again!!!!!

Called in on off chance at 8.30pm on Christmas Eve as we had travelled up from Devon. Didn't really expect to get served but the lady we met was a delight ( sorry don't know her name). Did us last minute fish and chips ( despite set menus all night) and made us feel very welcome. Thank you so much.

Just had a fantastic meal at the tavern we were a family of eight the food was so good hot and really tasty the staff were helpful and did everything to make your meal perfect so thank you all we will be back

Just visited the Tavern for our office Christmas party. We have been a number of times before either with work colleagues or friends and family. Each time we have found the quality and service quite good, as we have on this visit, although must say more expensive than other restaurants. However on our visit this evening you wouldn't have thought it was the Christmas season - no Christmas music playing in the background or crackers on the tables, just plain, cheap serviettes. We requested some sort of music a few times but it fell on deaf ears. No doubt times are hard for these businesses and they are always looking on how they can make cuts, but surely spending a little on what I have mentioned shouldn't break the bank as it were. There was just no Christmas atmosphere what so ever. Such a shame but a warning to those visiting the Tavern soon.

We had a wonderful time. There were 12 people in our group and we were looked after so well by the staff. The meals were all excellent. We haven't been back for a few years because of lockdown, but we certainly weren't disappointed. Thank you Tavern Fayre. Merry Christmas.

everytime me and my family has been its been good. its pricey but well worth it! the quality of the ingrediants shines through so its worth it for a good meal. the pea and ham soup is amazing. i'm a good cook and i only like to eat at resturant if its better then i would make. the fish and chips are very good. everytime weve been its been good.

This was our go to restaurant for Sunday lunch but the last two occasions the food has been disappointing, the beef very fatty, the staff seem disillusioned and the prices increased massively. A bowl of soup £7 and it is always Pea and Ham no variety anymore. Heard the restaurant is up for sale, so clearly there are problems.

I’ve always liked the Tavern. It has a cosy atmosphere and isn’t overcrowded. We hadn’t been in a while so booked for a Friday teatime. The food was tasty and unlike a lot of places, it was piping hot and served on warm plates (something I have a bit of a thing about). Staff were friendly and attentive. Yes it does take a little while for food to arrive but that’s because the food is fresh and not heated in the microwave. A great place to eat and relax.

Brilliant food, brilliant service. Well done. Will come back again soon. Good staff. Brilliant service

Been coming here for several years and always had friendly, excellent service. Despite my disabled mothers very awkward requests the staff here, male and female, have always been happy to help and the food is, without fail, fantastic! Can't recommend this place enough, whether you're...

Food very nice but staff very rude. Younger staff members polite but 3 older female staff very abrupt. One female waitress was very rude when we ordered teas/coffee, twice was snappy and said is that it while an elderly relative was deciding on deserts. The...

We tend to go further afield for something to eat but this nice pub is near to us and we enjoy a drink there from time to time. Most of the pub is given over to dining but there is a nice drinks area with...

I took my mum (94) for afternoon tea to this restaurant for her birthday. In my work I travel the world and eat in many world class restaurants The Afternoon tea at the Tavern is First class totally fabulous experience served by great staff YOU...

Soup luke warm, Just imagine someone walking 🚶‍♂️ past your table every 10 seconds, thats exactly what the waiter's were instructed to do. That is walk in a circle round the restaurant continuously so every few seconds you feel a draught passing you. Spoke to...

On arrival it was difficult to look at the menu due to the fact I had to unstick it from the sticky table. Not a good start. Ordered a round of drinks which didn't arrive for 20 mins and only then when we asked for...

Me and my partner decided to visit the Tavern as we both hadn't been for a few years. We arrived and were taken to our table straight away, we looked at the menu and we were both spoilt for choice. I ordered the Salmon Fillet...

First visit since covid and prices are now much too high. Although I understand Wednesday is not always the busiest night there was hardly anyone in at all, compared to how full it used to be This place used to serve good food at reasonable...

Went to the tavern today had the steak caibatta and it was tough I complained and was offered a drink or dessert but I didn't want anything else, I was disappointed when we weren't offered any money back or even a voucher. We won't be...

We have been going to the tavern for many years but on our latest visit there has been quite a few changes in both the menu and more to the point in the price rises. We have always enjoyed a soup starter and the lite...

Went for a Christmas catch up with old friends and ate from the set menu. Started with the pate which was perfect and plenty of it. For the main I went for the Christmas Dinner. It isn't always the best choice because the quality varies...

Not been for while couldn't believe how much the prices have increased food still ok but now to expensive

Been going to the Tavern for 30 years never been disapointed yesterday was no exception . First trip out since lockdown went mid afternoon for my wifes birthday ,fabulous gammon and chicken supreme as good as we have ever had here. Great service great value...

This was our first time back since lockdown finished and it was nice to return. It was for drinks only on this occasion but the food is solid and good value on the occasions we have eaten there. It was a wet windy October evening...

Hard to believe some of the reviews I have been reading. Have been going there for years. Lunchtimes to meet with ex colleagues and evenings with my husband calling in on our way home after visiting family in Preston. Never had a bad meal yet....

Well this was supposed to be a nice family meal. What a mistake food awefull dreary decor. Manageress rude not only to us paying customers but to the staff also . I heard how she was talking to some of the staff I was shocked....

Having only been out for a meal twice in the last 18 months with a friend which we did on a regular basis every 1 - 2 weeks pre Covid, we made arrangements firstly to visit another venue, unfortunately their kitchen was closed so we...

We've been here before and it was OK! But this visit we were absolutely delighted with everything. Large portions of thoughtfully presented and utterly delicious food. The kids devoured their Sunday roasts, my husband loved the chicken shwarma which was spicy and full of crunchy...

You need to be prepared to not seat at your table immediately in this busy restaurant. Our medium sized party opted for mains , as we had broughta birthday cake planned for one member! No muzak, thank goodness, Service was cheerful and good but some...

We visited as a family yesterday and although the food was nice, it wasn’t worth the prices. Nearly £20 for a burger and chips was ridiculously overpriced in our eyes. If we hadn’t have already ordered our drinks we’d have probably gone elsewhere. When you’re...

Lovely friendly staff on the phone when enquired about booking, and very friendly service tonight meal for 4 at 7pm , menu reduced since last visit 2 and half years ago, superb quality meals especially burgers and homemade chips . Will definitely return £72 for...

Food ok but very over priced.This is basic pub food and although the food was ok i found the menu to be limited and overpriced for the food received. The service was good and the place clean and tidy but they really must look at...

Disappointing visit today.. Ordered 2 roast beef dinners, the 'smash' not mash was sickly. You would expect real mash at a restaurant raving about home cooked food. Soggy Yorkshire puddings. Nearly £7 for a slither (not slice) of cheesecake... I know you've been closed and...

My first assumption when we were greated to what can only be described as "basic" cafe food is they must be under new ownership. Not the case, just poor service, extremely poor food, only thing which was good was the pint of beer. The children's...

Sunday roast was fabulous, too much to be honest.... We are a little disappointed that you can't sit down near the bar and relax after your meal with a coffee in the beautiful chairs.... I'm hoping that it changes back 🔙 as we like going...

Just back from the tavern .I have always spoke highly of the place.but not so this time.we was given one menue between four of us to start with.also not a great deal of choice unless you want a burger.the roast came to the table only...

really good food. I had pate on toast and a cheese burger. very tasty food and the service is great. abit pricey but very good. big portions. will return.

We went there after booking a table for 5, with us being 3 generations our food needs varied. There was a main menu, children's menu and specials menu. Our variety of orders came quickly, well served and very appetising. We ate well, the price was...

Went on a whim (during Covid-19), and were able to secure a nice table by the windows. Food came within a reasonable amount of time, and was decent (the chicken salad was very good!). We will come again - decent food in a lovely location,...

Today we had lunch here at the Tavern, lovely food, but was disappointed not to be able to take away my Meat i couldn't manage. You used to be able to but was told after asking could they put it in a bit of tin...

Great food and fast friendly service, really enjoyed the whole experience, restaurant was covid compliment, and the tables were seated well apart. Thank you.

Usual good and friendly service, lovely roast dinner and great size OAP option . Eton mess was delicious ! The Tavern is consistently high standard food.

This was my first visit and I was very impressed with the food and service. The staff were friendly and professional and obviously well trained. My veggie risotto blew me away! Delicious, classy, beautifully presented. I've paid double for inferior versions. Tavern at Hunger Hill...

Gorgeous as always. Fantastic personal service, delicious chicken burger and amazing roast dinner and freshly baked ginger sponge. Generous tasty portions and brilliant Covid precautions, it felt very safe.

Not been here for a long time brought my elderly mother who i thought this was excellent food and she is usually very critical. We had, the roast / chicken supreme/vegetarian lasagne followed by key line pie /chocolate pud and all were delicious

It's a long time since we've been to the Tavern though it's an easy walk from our house. Not exciting but 'ok'. I had a gammon steak, which was fine. My wife had the rump steak - 'ok' was the verdict. You know what you're...

Absolutely brilliant food and service. Such a lovely atmosphere and the staff have made me feel so comfortable for me and my family. Would highly recommend!

We had a lunch time meal for 4 people on a Sunday. The covid organisation was very well managed, the staff were friendly and the food was excellent. Definitely worth a visit.

Had a lovely Roast beef Sunday lunch at the Tavern - great Yorshires veggies and gravy! Felt very safe inside the pub with timed entry and clear instructions for arrival. Good friendly service - Thankyou !

My husband and I made a booking for our wedding anniversary as it was one of our favourite places to go...but never again!!! We arrived early as to have a drink at the bar before we were seated for our meal because when we booked...

Prizes seemed higher than usual and wasn't happy with frozen chips with the fish and gammon. Roast was poor served with garden peas and frozen roast potatos

Visited on Wednesday the 5th August for our first meal out with the whole Covid situation. There’s a reduced menu which is totally understandable. Tavern Fayre are participating in the government eat out to help out scheme where you can receive up to £10pp off...

I visited the tavern fayre with my wife and our 4 children. I completely understand the reasons behind a reduced menu but I don’t understand why the prices have risen drastically. I ordered fish and chips as not much else was appealing to me and...

Food was okay, we went to take advantage of the 50% off. I would not pay full price. Service was lovely though.

Thought we would experience the Tavern after lockdown lifted. Don’t think I will go again. They have a system where people are shown to their table on a one way system through the restaurant. However, the table we were at was for two people on...

Upon arrival we were looked after and shown to our table, very attentive staff. We waited longer that usual for our food however when it arrived it was worth the wait. Every meal was of excellent quality, we couldn't fault it. Would recommend to anyone,...

Arrived for 1940 and waited about 5 mins for sanitised table. Staff very attentive and drinks arrived promptly. Meals a little wait but all individually cooked with a beef sizzler, chicken sizzler, rump steak, gammon, and a burger all arriving together. Food quality very good...

Haven’t been here in a whiles the last time we came it was awful service but thought we would try again. Unfortunately wish we hadn’t have bothered. Food was mediocre with top prices and the service was very very slow despite the place being empty...

Brilliant meal at The Tavern, they have done a fantastic job of making customers feel safe at the moment, one of the best places I have seen in terms of procedures. The service was attentive and friendly and food fantastic. Delicious roast dinners and lovely...

Monday 3rd august went for tea at tavern on the hill at 5 10pm only just finished meal after 45 mins when my daughter had to go outside were she noticed my car had been stolen,i had parked it as always in front of the...

Visited afternoon 29th of July and greeted by a very brusque and unfriendly “get in line” Unlikely to return

Had a reservation today 13/7/20 at the Tavern first day of opening because of the pandemic. Was a little nervous because I had not been anywhere since lockdown. This establishment has done everything to help you feel safe...perfect social distancing... card payment at table ...one...

Called in for Sunday tea yesterday,it was really busy but there were plenty of staff and the service was excellent. The food was lovely and the portion size was really good. Would definitely go again and I would recommend it for some tasty pub food.

Although a popular restaurant, we treat this place as a pub. I’m sure the food is very good but it’s not our style so we just go for a drink. It is a great place to do this. The bar area is very cosy and...

Always can depend on this place where other pub/ restaurants churn out over priced and underwhelming food tavern always delivers

Whilst working in Cardiff, used to regularly speak to a lady who worked in Bolton on business, but we also spoke quite socially and always said that one day we would have to meet. Took us nearly twenty years to when my wife and I...

Had an lovely meal today at Tavern . On the light bites was a delicious Lamb, Barley and Veg pie accompanied by cabbage, carrots and boiled potatoes.The veg were excellent, not too soft and not too hard. Butter was provided and I had lots of...

Absolutely delicious meal. The light lunch menu is a great idea. It helps people like me who love a pudding. Service quick, friendly and attentive. The restaurant was very clean,warm and welcoming. We all ordered a light roast dinner and all had different pudding. Everything...

Meal was v good,gammon steaks beautiful,but no brown sauce.What kind of restaurant is that.Very large place and our friend who works in Bolton comes regularly. Always had a good meal.Guinness was good.

Hi I went here on Monday night for a meal with my parntner upon our order taking I asked was the juice fresh I was told it was , but it wasn’t so I complained regarding this to... only to catch the staff talking about...

Me and my daughter went up to tavern to book a family meal for mums 80th there would be 16 people altogether we were doing ok till the day we required on a Saturday her whole tone changed we cannot do that asked why she...

Was served by Debbie who was fantastic food was good and fast service at very reasonable price and always go out of there way to ensure you have a good visit

Booked a table a couple of months back for 4 of us and a baby to have a meal here for nye at 4pm. Its a lovely pub, decorated really nice and the table was all ready with a high chair when we arrivied. The...

My wife and I had spent Xmas with my son in Clitheroe, and had a lovely time. Before my retirement a few years ago, in my professional capacity, I had many telephone conversations with a lady from a Bolton company and we got on very...

Food reasonable priced and delicious. Good choice for a girls night out catch up - brilliant service and a good choice of mains and deserts . Will definitely go again.

Upon entering this pub it looked beautiful. Plenty of tables, warm and inviting . We asked for a table for two and were very nicely shown to our table . The menu was vast and ranged from large mea,s to smaller meals. I ordered the...

Our friends recommended the Tavern for lunch and it was nearby and we hadn't been for years so met them . A nice lunch with friendly staff . I had Steak & Mushroom Pie and my wife had a Special Beef Barm which she enjoyed...

Visited for a none Christmas meal. Found that the little card with the Light Bites was missing. After my friend asked ,it was presented.She went last week with friends so knew about it. I went to order two Prawn and Salmon platters off the light...

Convenient, warm place with easy parking, just right for a lunch with friends. Didn't cost the earth (two main meals and two drinks = £32) and it is well run, a smooth operation. I had a delicious (and large) gammon steak with egg and chips...

I have never been a big fan of the Tavern,but it was handy for everyone, We had a good old natter in the bar area while waiting for a table, and I must admit the service was good and the Fish & Chips were excellent

Called in here for lunch with my wife. The welcome was friendly and efficient and we were quickly shown to a table. The pub itself is well laid out and a pleasant place to be. The menu looked inviting as did the specials board but...

Went for lunch, me and my partner had the roast Beef dinner which was Amazing and my partners sister had the steak and black stick cheese on ciabatta bread which was Devine. Also we had a side order of onion rings, well what can I...

Spacious , comfy surroundings. Great choice of food and gluten free savvy Excellent service, I will be back

Very disappointed with our visit last night. The guy on the reception was very unhelpful. Told us it would be 20-30 minutes in a take it or leave it fashion. The word sorry is obviously not in his vocabulary. Needs a refresh on customer service....

Not been here for a while and my experience wasn’t as good this time. This pub restaurant is geared up just for diners it’s not somewhere you would just call in for a drink. The place is clean and the staff were friendly and helpful....

We have always had a delicious meal here. Reasonably priced and plenty of options. The fish pie is to die for. We also lobe the traditional desserts on offer too.

This is a fairly regular haunt for us and we always enjoy our time there. We have eaten there in the past and it is decent enough but we generally just go for drinks. This latest visit was on a cold autumnal evening and we...

I called when passing on my way to work, a single diner.. The grim faced controller of the microphone in her sentry box told me there was a half hour wait to be seated, time i didn't have. I was about to leave when I...

We made the decision to celebrate our daughter passing her driving test and this is the place we will come back to time and time again

This is our local restaurant where we eat about once per month , always good food served piping hot and comfortable. Please give it a try great for family occasions.

Wonderful food & great service. Bit if a mix up with the order but it was handled professionally & was easily resolved. We would definitely recommend this restaurant. Gluten free options are great too.

Having happily dined here previously I was very disappointed with this visit. Firstly the customer service was non existent! Not a smile from about 90% of the staff. Everything seemed to be an effort. Ordered a meal from the gluten free options, not a bad...

I called here to meet a colleague for drinks and it is very cosy. I've eaten here before now and they do a great job too. There's a huge car park to the side and rear with easy access for wheelchairs if required. Very pleasant...

We visited a couple of years ago and it was fine. Hence a return visit with friends. I ordered chilli con carne, which was simply the worst i have ever had. The meat content was so low, that I actually separated the onions and peppers...
