The Brewhouse in Bolton

Came here on a Thursday night to enjoy some food and a couple of drinks with friends in the newly extended beer garden. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and the beer garden is a great sun trap! We'll be back very soon. Thank you so much to the lovely bar staff member who, very generously, helped my unreliable friend out with our second round of drinks 🤣

Upon arriving, we were greeted by a lady behind the bar who showed us to our table that was reserved for us (I later found out that this lovely lady was called Jess). What an asset to the business; friendly, professional and could not do enough for you. Thank you Jess for making our lunch an enjoyable one indeed! I hope your bosses see this as I feel they need to cherish such a wonderful member of staff. We then ventured onto the terrace whilst the little one enjoyed the bouncy castle. The staff up there were also second to none. We will be returning and thank you again.

Went for lunch with my sister. We were late and hadn't booked but they fit us in. The food was excellent and the service was quick and welcoming. Would definitely recommend

Visites this afternoon with friends, great service & the food was smashing, empty plates & full bellies No complaints at all, if your passing pop in.

You would have a better experience in a Salvation Army hostel. The rooms are disgusting, the ‘breakfast’ is in a box in a wardrobe, The room was filthy and never cleaned. Bar staff are unwelcoming and the manager is mostly absent. Stay somewhere, anywhere else

Superb service from our lovely friendly managers!! Courteous staff and wonderful food as ever. Daz,Jaime,Danni and Ben x

Went for a meal after having this place recommended by a friend and I wasn’t left disappointed great meal good atmosphere and wide range of choice of drinks. Staff was friendly and informative.

Service was attentive and quick. We were made to feel welcome with our dog and shown two areas in which we could eat with him. This was a lovely carpeted dining area, which was clean and cosy. Food choice was great, we have a fussy teen and when we ordered, swops were made with no issue. Hand cut chips were the nicest I think I’ve ever tasted! We ordered a cup of tea for our dog (which seems an odd request), but it arrived in a lovely dog bowl and he was given a little bag of dog biscuits!! Recommend The Brewhouse and it’s lovely staff.

Went for a meal to avoid the footie & what a great idea it was. Food was amazing and the weekly quiz was a bonus so entered for a laugh. Was £1.00 entry with a bit of grub thrown in too. (Not the we had any) Brilliant value for money & a good night in all. Highly recommended & will be returning very soon.

Stayed over while doing some work training. Cosy little room, the pub does lovely food, portions are in the large side! Lovely staff and management, good quiz Wednesday night! Would definitely go again!

We were staying for a couple of nights in Bolton, arrived later than we'd hoped and basically just chose this place because we didn't have to get in the car again. On looking at the place my expectations were quite low, it looked as if it would be very ordinary pub grub, but actually we were pleasantly surprised. I had salmon, my husband had the black pudding, and they were both very good. They said they were only serving till 7pm, but though we didn't get there till 6.30, we did not feel at all under pressure.

Back to the very first pub I ever visited. Many changes over the years. Very pleasant decor and staff. A pity about the FSA rating and lack of customers.

The owners of this chain of pubs have lost the plot. Poor service and no management contribute to a terrible experience. Locals avoid this pub and the rooms at the back are at the level of a hostel.

Lovely selection of real ales and they’ve all been kept perfect. The staff are delightful and engage well with both locals and the people like myself who visit less often. Only negative I can post that with so many beers to choose from it’s hard to try them all, especially on a school night. Keep up the good work!

I have been visiting regularly for the last 4 years.As a light Ale drinker I always appreciated Ian’s recommendations (he really knew what he was talking about) but since his departure he has been sorely missed.Trying to get served is a painful experience and staff know nothing about the beers on sale.Very few staff on and the manager is never anywhere to be seen.Come back Ian!!!!!!

We are regulars for a drink, a fine selection of wines and craft beers, or meal for lunch, Sunday roast, etc. The service is always friendly and efficient. We have also held special birthday parties at the Brewhouse, with guests staying overnight in the B&B facilities and been delighted with everything.

We visited at lunchtime, only two other diners in. Had efficient service and the Chef came to tell us what he recommended. The food was excellent, couldn't fault it whatsoever. My only issue was the dining and pub area seemed like it needed a good vacuuming and mop.Would definitely go again.

We booked two rooms here and they were both as equally filthy, the carpets were dirty, pieces hanging off the bedroom furniture, big hole in the floor of the wardrobe and cobwebs 3 inches long hanging from the top of the curtains!! Continental breakfast we found was a pack of salami type stuff and cheese, yoghurt thrown into the mini fridge in the wardrobe.We were that disappointed that we actually left later that night and went home even though we had paid. Our other friends did stay but wouldn't even get into the bed as their bathroom was disgusting so they left very early in the morning. Be warned!!

So you arrive on the carpark at the back of the pub, and the first thing you see, is a bag of dog poo, not a great start. And Whether you are paying £30 or £300 per night for a bed, the very least you expect is the room to be clean. Its not a lot to ask is it? Seems many other reviewers have had a similar experience too. I dont mind cheap and cheerful, but draw the line at cheap and minging ! I wouldnt let my dog sleep here, the place is filthy. Either get yourselves a new cleaner, or stop doing b&b and concentrate on just being a pub. Would i recommend this place? Absolutely no chance what so ever !

What used to be a good Wednesday night has rapidly gone downhill.

I haven’t dined here, however must say that the atmosphere for a drink on a Friday or Saturday evening is great! Staff are very polite and friendly!

Amazing food amazing rooms all clean and tidy excellent staff and service would highly recommend this place for staying over and eating

I booked for 20 friends last summer. We had chosen our meals beforehand and I had collected all the cash. We were all extremely satisfied with our choices and the quality of the food. This is our second group visit and will go again

New to the area and ate here with friends; very good pub food and a good selection of wines. Very good service and pleasant environment

Such good food, definitely worth a visit, great quaint pub. Highly recommend. The only thing i would say is that they could have a bit more variety on the menu.

My wife and I visited the BREWHOUSE on Saturday Feb 3rd '18 and from the moment we walked in through the door we were made welcome.

Went here for a last minute evening meal and im glad we did. The syaff couldn't do enough for us and the food was amazing will definatly be going back!

i organised a meal for 20 of my Aqua friends, just before Xmas. We chose a main with either starter or dessert.Very good food and even the young chef came out and introduced himself. Excellent service in what was quite a small area. All food chosen before was delivererd to the right person. Not one word of a moan from any of my friends

Ive eaten here several times now over the last couple of years and every time the food has been gorgeous. Recently had the fish pie which is one of the best Ive ever tasted. Huge portion though with lots of veg on the side. Lovely pub, cosy and lovely decor. Bar and waiting staff are all friendly and smiley, really good service. Well worth visiting. One of the best pubs for food in Bolton.

Llamamos para el almuerzo en nuestro modo de ver la familia, tuvimos una cálida bienvenida del personal. Comimos bistec bistec con patatas fritas, pesada, mi novio tenía aros de cebolla y champiñones, tuve tomates de vid y col roja col, muy sabroso. Ambos tuvimos un café con leche y chocolate brownie tuve con salsa de chocolate y crema de leche que era delicioso el lugar es muy acogedor con comida fabulosa que es coherente, ya que estaba en la última visita, volveremos pronto! !

I visited for an early sunday lunch and wow! The photos dont do it justice. We had a barnsley chop and mixed grill. Both were spot on. Good beer. Good food and nice service from the staff. What more could you ask for??

The food at this establishment is good and I mean good, I had there burger with Lancashire cheese no gristle whatsoever pure meat, I cold find no issues with the meal, wife had gammon wand was just as impressed with her meal not a negative, but! What an array of beers very good but if your a lager drinker Carling, coors and grolch you need better largers like peroni Stella, food wise fantastic and thoroughly recommend

Thanks so much all for a special 30th meal. Loved the balloons and decorations too. The food, drink and service were excellent, I would happily recommend, see you soon!

Good service and food. Atmosphere is nice and interior is tasteful. Have visited here for lunch and evening meals with no complaints

He estado varias veces a la cervecería, ya que está a una corta distancia a pie de casa, pero nunca nos alojamos una noche, así que no puedo opinar sobre ese lado. La comida y la bebida, tanto en su cantidad y calidad, es de...

Reservé este hotel a través de habitaciones tarde un sábado por la noche, habitación individual a un costo de £40. Está a 10 minutos en coche del centro de la ciudad, así que la ubicación era muy práctica.

He estado aquí muchas veces para comer y el personal son siempre agradables y el menú del almuerzo sencillo pero sabroso. Usted podría haber patatas fritas o patatas fritas macizos con su comida. El menú del almuerzo es de sólo £9. 95 y tiene una buena relación calidad-precio. El interior está bien establecido. Lo recomendaría para una cerveza y comida de calidad con un servicio muy bueno, no muy lejos del centro de Bolton. .

I went with my wife and two friends for lunch on a Monday. I'm in a wheelchair, and the first thing I noticed was that we could park outside, and wheelchair access into the restaurant was very easy. It was very quiet. The landlord appeared to be behind the bar, and he was very helpful and unhurried. There was a good range of beers I hadn't met before and, after taking our orders, he took us to a table that was easy for me to access. In addition to the printed menu, there were a couple of blackboards with extra dishes listed, though we stuck to the printed version. We debated having a starter, as there were several we wanted to try, but sense prevailed! The food took a little while to arrive, but there was a lot of it. I had a mixed grill, and that was very good. The skinny chips were the best I've had for a very long time, and there was masses of meat. At this point I realised what a good decision it was not to have a starter! We were all keen to have the lemon tart with ginger ice cream, but we could only manage two between the four of us. The landlord was quite happy with that.We would certainly be happy to return. Who knows, I may be able to try one of those starters next time!

This was our first visit to The Brewhouse and we were very impressed. We went in for a light lunch and some wine. We were given a lovely welcome by a young lady called Katlan, (excuse if spelling is wrong), She took our drinks order at the bar and then brought the drinks to our table. There seems to be 43 distinct areas in the pub, at one end there are tables and chairs for dining/drinking, the middle, in front of the bar has some large leather sofas with coffee tables and to the left as you enter there are large leather seats and tables with a fireplace. We ordered ribs, salad and onion rings and a crab brucheta. All of the food was perfectly cooked and presented and served in good time.The member of staff was very attentive and pleasant, we will definitely be coming back here again.

been here for a night only, the room was good size but not very clean and in need of refurbish! good mattress on the bed, very small shower cabin! i would go there again but not for spending the night, as the pub downstairs has a very nice atmosphere and nice staff!

I don't normally do these reviews , but with a week of broken sleep , due to a bed being massively uncomfortable , needs up dating as the pub is nice but the rooms are not so nice , cool damp and a little dirty in places,

Called in here at tea time on a Saturday. Very impressed by the furnishings and decor. Five of us had different mains and all of us were impressed by the meals. We were served by a pretty barmaid whose smile lit up the room.We intend to stay here next time we visit Bolton.

This pub/hotel is a much needed pit stop on the way from Bolton to Darwen. Great atmosphere, good food and very reasonably priced drinks. Next time I'm visiting the area I shall hope to stay in one of their guest rooms.

I have returned to eat here on several occasions because the food is excellent but unfortunately the service leaves a lot to be desired. On my last visit our empty plates and empty glasses (requiring a refill!) were sat on the table for a good 15/20 minutes before they were acknowledged by a member of staff and it wasn't busy in the restaurant at the time may I add, so there was no real excuse. The food however was delicious. I had the Italian burger that was on the specials board and it was served with sweet potato fries, onion rings and coleslaw. The burger was delicious and moist and the portion was very generous. I will definitely return in the future for the food and hope the service has improved somewhat.

Well I can winge when I want too, first time here, wife said we had to go, I have to say I was very impressed with my food, I am getting on in life and have eaten thousands of burgers but this one was about the best ever, no gristle in the meat, cheese perfect, bacon prime back perfectly cooked. Chunky chips just bang on, service attentive and I left feeling good, I will go back and I hope it is as consistent as San Marino & the Black dog in Belmont.

Nice decor clean pleasant enviroment and lovely beer and ales. Only issue parking as on busy main road. Close to Last Drop Village and Turton Tower.

No one came to take a drinks order, while we were waiting for our meal, so we went and got our own from the bar. The food was nice but again no one came to ask if we wanted another drink, no one asked if we wanted desserts. They lost out in over £30 here. We sat for an hour before deciding we may as well go, but no one brought out bill! We took the money to the bar and told them it was correct, they thanked us, never checking we had actually paid the right amount. We could have very easily have walked out without paying and they wouldn't have noticed. Yes, the bar was fairly busy but surely the amount they take from food is important too.

We arrived early as we were told last orders were at 7pm. There were many others that had arrived at the same time so our sweet waitress (Caitlin) warned us dinner could take 30 minutes to be served. One of our party ordered the pork but it wasn't available. Another ordered lamb but after many minutes was told that this too was unavailable, to make amends this member was told she could order anything else F.O.C. and the restaurant would stand us a round of drinks. When buying these the assistant manager managed to break a glass that sprayed us and others with glass, no apology given. When the food finally arrived (after more than an hours wait) the 3 steak orders were all cold. More apologies by Caitlin and even the chef came out to do the same and offered free desserts, which were declined. The Brewhouse is a drinking place for what appeared to be many locals as well as a restaurant, perhaps it should focus on being good at one or the other instead of being poor at both.

5 of us booked in for meal. Arrived at 6.15, table booked for 6.30 as food finishes at 7 pm. Caitlin our wonderfull waitress informed us there would be a 30 mins wait as they were very busy. No problem.She took our orders but there was no lamb left so steak was ordered instead. 2 of us went to the bar to order more drinks. The assistant manager was manic and ended up dropping a glass which hit the bar showering us in glass. No apology and he pointed out he would only replace those drinks to customers who had been served. Caitlin then told him our round of drinks were to be on the house as another of our orders was unavailable(the pork cutlet), again steak was ordrerd as a replacement. We waited a very long time for our meal (well over the 30 minutes indicated), closer to an hour. The mixed grill was delicious as was the tuna but all 3 steaks were undercooked! Caitlin (who should have long finished her shift) told us to order more drinks as an apology from the chef.The chef to his credit came to apologise to us personally and offered free dessert on top of the drinks which we declined. The chef and waitresses work so hard. If it had not been for Caitlin's service we would have walked out. The other waitresses were also good. The assistant manager (Ian?) was an absolute disgrace and not a manager!

Starters ranging from black pudding , pulled pork or ribs all were simply delicious.The steaks were cooked to perfection and simply melted in the mouth, the hubby chose the " Barnsley chop "and certainly wasn't disappointed.Two opted for the lemon tart which went down a treat, feeling a bit stuffed the other half opted for the small cheese board, OH MY excellent, me I was quite simply fit to burst.Quite simply a delicious meal, in fact the best meal out in ages. Superb value and extremely friendly staff. all in all the Brew House done good.

Have been twice now in the last month and really recommend this place. A good menu with some nice meat selections and a great Lamb burger. Good selection of drinks and beers. Had a great coffee!Good service friendly and efficient.

Booked this b/b for a friend's wedding . Big mistake ! Although the pub was OK,friendly staff,good pint a disaster regarding accommodation . The double rooms face the main Bolton-Blackburn main road and as the windows are only cheaply double glassed with plastic sliding window it was ridiculous trying to sleep with the traffic noise. The rooms are pretty basic and certainly do not match the price. Visiting the UK and looking forward to a English Breakfast was another waste of time ,on asking time of breakfast I was told any time as it was on and in a small fridge in the wardrobe and consisted of a 3rd pint of milk ,small do of coco poP'S and a dried up crossiant in a plastic wrapper ! Might make a good local pub but as for an English b/b forget it !

'Breakfast Included' actually means a few packs of cereal with yogurt and juice tucked away in the wardrobe. TV remote didn't work, flat batteries. Not a plug socket in sight at the dressing table/desk. The bathroom was disgusting. Hair and who knows what else in both sink and shower plug holes, black mould around the shower base, leaking shower hose, under the toilet seat had clearly not been cleaned recently and black scum clearly visible inside the toilet bowel rim.Order a starter and main course in the bar and they both arrived at the same time. The best they could offer was to try and keep the main warm under a heating lamp till I'd finished my starter. When the main did arrive it had dried up so much it was virtually inedible.

One of the best pub i ever been nice interior food amazing lots of fish dish..I am pescetarian.,large choice of ale and beer vine Staff very friendly...quick service even a busy saturday night. Defiantly going back..Price reasonable Keep up a good work guys!

Short walk from me - go occasionally for a drink. Recently refurbished - pleasant interior. Usually five ales on pumps, mainly from local breweries. Not eaten there but good looking menu. Will be returning.

The beer garden is hazardous it is like a derelict building site you need protective clothing & boots to sit in it, it needs a visit from the health & safety executive it's a disgrace!

Nice stylish pub, popped in for a drink lady behind the bar was very friendly, next time we are in the area will definitely have something to eat.

We have eaten here in the past and had a slight issue but I wanted to try again and see if they could redeem themselves. We were not let down. I had the surf and turf and my wife had the steak and ale pie. The food was excellent, well made with great presentation and flavours. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the price was very reasonable. Well worth a visit and to top it off the ales and craft beer on offer were top notch and a good selection of wines to boot. Can't wait to visit again.

Just popped into The Brewhouse for lunch with my hubby. I had cheese pie with chips, he had The Brewhouse burger. The pie was gorgeous, no potato, just loads of runny, gooey cheese, served in an individual pot with flakey pastry top. Hubby's burger looked good, big stack of fillings and served with a pail of chips. The chips were beautiful, best I've had at a pub in a long while, thick and fluffy on the inside, yummy! We were also served by the friendliest guy in the world, made me smile listening to him greet the customers, keep up the good work Brewhouse

I recently visited The Brewhouse on a Friday night for a family meal (there were 7 of us altogether). The pub has recently been refurbished and looks great, with some comfy looking sofas in the main part of the pub- unfortunately all taken by the time we got there. The pub seemed busy, but we had booked and we were shown to our table by a very helpful waitress, who then ran through the new menu with us, explaining the way it worked.Although there are still pub classics (my daughter had the fish and chips which she said were delicious), the new style seems to be grills with a choice of three sides. I chose the fillet steak (not cheap at £22), with chips, onion rings and mushrooms. It was delicious!! I eat out quite a lot and can't remember when I had such a well cooked steak (done perfectly medium rare). Out of 7 of us, 4 had steaks and everyone felt the same as I did. The others had pies, and gave then the thumbs up too.I hope the Brewhouse continues with the high standard of this visit - the service, food and atmosphere are all great. There was a slight wait for the food, but this was expected on a busy Friday night with freshly cooked food. All in all, a great meal.

On a Very quiet Sunday early evening. There were just three of us but we waited a long time for our meal. When it eventually arrived it was lovely. Nice clean pub.

Pub offers a wide selection of lagers and home brewed beers. Resteraunt is small but offers a good selection of food which is well presented and good value.

A very enjoyable experience. I had the mixed grill which was fantastic. Proper ingredients and cooked to perfection. The staff were excellent especially Katie who could not do enough. Keep up the good work.

Saturday night 6.30, table for six with my beautiful wife and 4 close friends. Booked table with John who was very friendly and helpful. We had smothered chicken with peppercorn sauce and it was exceptional,also had chicken and bacon sandwich which is like a main meal and again very nice.All the waitresses are helpful,polite and hardworking. We go regularly and it never disappoints. Going again on Friday!!

We've been here a few times for lunch and it has been excellent every time although the food can take a little while and may not be suitable if you're in a rush. I like that though as the food is cooked fresh to order and is of a good standard. 3 of us visited today and we had a very leisurely couple of hours. We enjoyed a duo of duck (confit leg and breast) which was excellent, ox cheek pudding and a gammon. All 3 were very good and we finished by sharing a varied and tasty cheeseboard. The service was also a good standard and this is somewhere I will happily revisit for a good pub lunch.

We were meeting up with some friends who were over from the US and wanted somewhere that served good, traditional, home cooked British food. We weren't disappointed! We had pre ordered our food as it was the Friday before Christmas and unfortunately did still have to wait a while for the food to arrive. However all 9 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals......it was well worth the wait! The pub/restaurant was buzzing and had such a great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

Very good traditional northern food served in a modern way. I had black pudding starter - fab. Suet pudding main - excellent. Finished with crumble of the day - fantastic with excellent custard. Coming from the London area the price was as cheap as chips. If I was in the area 100% would eat there again.

We have visited this place on a number of occasions as it is our 'local'. The food is always of satisfactory standard and freshly made to order. Occasionally the pork was slightly overcooked (char grilled pork loin steak) but we didn't mind as the meal overall was very tasty (more apple sauce please). Delicious 'bubble & squeak' and the Cumberland sausage & mash were very enjoyable. Worth recommending!

We have been to this place twice now and not managed to get served yet - we arrived 2 hours before the advertised stopped serving food time only to be told they had just stopped serving. When questioned why they had stopped serving food we got told we had no customers so we sent the staff home - Your not going to get customers visiting if your not open when they visit - Also had to wait at an empty bar some 10 mins for a member of staff to show up so he could tell us this - No way to run a bar or serve food folks. If you cant be bothered to stay open maybe you should let someone else have a go.

Great place for family gatherings as we have done several times now as they have nice side rooms where kids wont annoy other diners. Good wholesome food in a choice of portion size so suits all. Good local beers for men in party

So named after its first incarnation, The Brewhouse (formerly the Cheetham Arms) seems to be firstly billed as one of three things depending on where you look online. It's either firstly billed as a hotel, a restaurant, or a pub, and not usually a combination of the three. On TripAdvisor it's a hotel, but from what I experienced, I would suggest that (especially given the venue's past), this is more of a modern pub which also serves a good selection of food.Adjacent to one of the lounge areas in the bar, you can look through a glass window to see the brewing area, still full of booze barrels, the tap labels of which are on display in the window outside the pub. A nice nod to its brewing past. It also proudly sells ales from its sister company, Dunscar Bridge brewery, located down the road.The venue itself feels like a strange combination of old-school pub and modern bar, mixing neutral tones and bright woods with dark woods and studded leather couches.Our first problem was that as we drove up to the venue, we saw nowhere to park as it's on a road. We turned left after the pub into a small yard, which obviously wasn't meant for parking, so we parked further down the road. Only on LEAVING the pub did we see a not-very-prominent sign telling us that there was in fact a car park behind the venue, accessed by turning down a road before the the pub itself.On this occasion, a group of four of us were here for lunch, having perused the menu online. Only two of us opted for starters instead of main courses. For these, we ordered goats cheese fritters, and crispy fried whitebait. Both arrived in good time and were tasty and well prepared and presented.The other two of us ordered from the mains menu, choosing pub classics of steak and ale pie, and fish and chips. The first thing we both noticed was that the chips were very tasty traditional chips. Always a plus! My only gripe is that my fish was lay on top of my chips, which seemed a little odd, meaning I needed to lift it up and move it to be able to get to my chips. The fish had absolutely perfect batter, although the fish itself was a little bland. Good mushy peas though, and the home-made tartare sauce was excellent. Sadly, although the pastry on the pie was quite nice, the actual contents of the pie were quite dry, and could've done with a jug of gravy on the side to add some moisture.At this point we had agreed that the visible staff of two young girls seemed friendly with good intentions, but not overly professional at times in how they were speaking and acting, just a bit too casual, and how we were having trouble getting their attention when they were looking at their mobile phones at the bar.When we eventually caught the attention of one to be able to order dessert, we chose to get two sticky toffee puddings with four spoons, so we could share.The puddings arrived, and looked great (admittedly on one of those big porcelain sombrero style bowls), but as the waitress walked off, we realised we weren't given any spoons, and we had to wave her over to let her know. She responded with, "didn't she give you any? She was supposed to give you some!" and a big annoyed sigh, before marching off, presumably to get the spoons. However it took about 4 minutes until she returned with spoons, leaving us sitting looking at the blob of ice cream atop the warm pudding starting to melt into a creamy splodge, with nothing we could really do.Happily, the sticky toffee pudding was really tasty, and the butterscotch sauce that accompanied it really hit the spot!My verdict on The Brewhouse is a bit mixed... I enjoyed the food, but as the place was quite a loud and busy pub, (with seemingly loud boisterous regulars at the bar) and the service was a bit lacking for a weekday afternoon, I don't think I'd go out of my way to come here again, but if I was in the area, I'd probably pop in for lunch.

Stayed here for one night and enjoyed a tasty meal in the bar restaurant before returning to a well-appointed room. The Brewhouse is on a busy main road so I recommend ear-plugs to ensure a quiet night's sleep, but lovely establishment with courteous and helpful staff.

Did not want to do this review as it's our local pub but having been loads of time before tonight was a total disaster and nobody could really be bothered to put it right until I kicked up a stink. Diner for two-ordered just a main course. Had finished our bottle of wine when it arrive 1 hour and 20 mins later with no apology . It's it was not worth the wait. My duck duo was a tale of two parts. The duck leg was cremated and the duck breast ( which was only part of a duck breast) one piece looked pink and correctly cooked but was so tough could not be cut and the other looked grey and old and was totally unable to be cut & the potatoes daphonoise were clearly reheated. The night was totally spoiled by the staff who did not see what the problem was and said the chef was too busy to attend to my complaint( the pub dining area was virtually empty) even when he had finished serving still refused to address my complaint. I finally got offered a replacement meal which to be fair was clearly freshly cooked but the complementary drinks offered never arrived. Shame on you brew house. Thought you were better than that. No manager available either to address our complaint. My friends meal also comprised of reheated chicken. Avoid at all costs as we will be doing in future

Within walking distance so dont need to take the car so free to sample excellent selection of locally brewed beer. Very good choice on menu with larger and smaller portions to suit appetite. Children welcome and good choice on kids menu. Warm and cosy in winter with fires in smaller rooms.

We'e been here in the past but haven't been for ages as the last time we tried to get a meal we weren't able to. However, we thought we'd give it another try - don't now why we bothered. It wasn't late on a Sunday afternoon - probably about 6pm ish - when we walked in the place was gloomy and virtually empty - not a good sign! Eventually a chap appeared behind the bar and when we asked if food was still being served he wasn't sure! We were an hour and a half earlier than the time food stopped being served! He cam back and said that there was no food and apologised - nope - we won't try for a 3rd time!

We came here as its a nice cosy pub and food has always been gorgeous. I ordered the steak and ale pie with chips and mushy peas. It's was absolutely delicious! Chips were perfect! My partner ordered Lancashire hotpot which went down a treat. Cosy country pub atmosphere with incredibly nice staff and food is great! Will definitely be returning and would recommend to anyone :)

Been twice and food is really good, but service could improve. Staff is friendly but doesn't seem to be enough of them.

My parents and I went to The Brewhouse for lunch on 30/04/15. The staff was friendly and gave great service. I had fish and home cooked chips, it was very tasty & good value. The Brewhouse also has a good range of locally brewed ales. It has a lovely friendly atmosphere, and will be going back.

Very nice pub that sells very nice food, decent prices offering smaller portions from main menu. Kids meal was really nice little en cleared the plate.Great selection of beers as well. Service was very good, its not a 5star restaurant silver service its a pub, I think people sometimes get confused. 2 adult 1 kids meal,4 drinks less than £35. Will be back frequently.

The food, atmosphere and welcome vibe is bar none of what a pub/restaurant should be how ever as a younger customer i feel that the bar service (manager) delibratly chooses to serve other customers befor myself even though i have been waiting clearly befor others absolutly shocking had no previous complaints before untill past few times i have visited.

Went here for lunch with a friend, I was quite surprised at the prices, rather high I thought. The soup starter was too salty and the main course was very poor. Cannot really recommend it to anyone.

Excellent food, plenty of it and possibly the best chips i have ever had. Varied menu as well as 'specials' They also have 'guest' ales as well as their own as they are a micro brewery. Very friendly and lovely atmosphere.

Visited here with the other half for some lunch...The service left a lot to be desired, as in the fact that there wasn't any.We were not greeted on entry, decided to sit down and see what we wanted from the menu, at this point noticed another table getting waiter service and therefore assumed that orders would be taken from the table, after much waiting decided we must of been wrong, so decided to go to the bar to order, where we once again ignored as stocking the fridge was obviously much more important. We ordered drinks and asked if we could order food, the barmaid told us she would come over to take our order and opened a tab for us as we were ordering food. Waited a further 25 minutes at the table for our order to be taken, at which point decided to go up and settle the tab, no mention of our order being taken at this point or even an apology.Will never return, service left me agitated and confused. In summary, left 40 minutes after arriving, hungry.

Came here for my mums birthday. All ordered starters; 2 pates, 1 Stilton pot with crusty bread and 1 fish cake. All tasted delicious and plentiful. For our mains we had cheese and onion pie (good but too much onion), gammon steak and 2 had chicken skewers. Food was of good quality and lots of it. There is options for lighter bites. Good range of cask ale. Drinks are not cheap but this is reflected in the decor and service.

At a recent visit to this pub restaurant I chose the home made Steak and Ale pie soon my son's recommendation. It was absolutely delicious, the best pie I've ever had, juicy pieces of meat in gravy etc and a pastry crust. A few more mushy peas would have earned a score of five.

Popped into the Brewhouse hoping for a nice pub meal. We got just that. Good food, good servings and with pleasant service.Clean pub with a large selection of local ales and own ale from Dunscar Bridge Brewery.

I booked a table for 22 of us, all friends from across the UK, as well as USA, Norway, Sweden and it was oustanding. Great service, Jacqui is back in charge which is a good sign.Both chefs ensured our meals were top class, served to perfection.I notice the previous reviewer has only ever left 2 reviews both slating the Brewhouse, so the clown is obviously a troll or a competitor.We all loved our food, there was a good selection of beers available and the service received was tip-top.Black Pudding Starter was tasty, well presented.Steak & Ale Pie for the main was full of lean, tasty meat, a really filling dish.Dessert I chose the cheese board and there was a really good selection of cheeses.I left, totally full up, satisfied and happy.This is traditional food, at good prices and we'd have no issues recommending nor returning here if we were ever in the area.

how to ruin a pub,first put 13 pumps on then put 'coming soon' on10 of them & serve dishwater from the other 3, don't clean the pipes, run out of most other drinks on Saturday evening and change managers every other week. Used to be a good pub,talk to any of the ex regulars ! Why not take a trip to a bank top pub to see how it's done ? Because beer wise this pub is awfull.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and its a nice pub in general. I go in here every week with my family on a sunday and I wouldnt choose any other pub. The food is so tasty and delicious and well worth the money. When its sunny there's a nice beer garden to sit out in, lovely local pub.

I have been here a few times and love it. Gorgeous and cosy place. Really friendly bar staff. Beers from the local Dunscar brewery. The standard of food is much better than your standard pub grub. Really tasty. Oh and not forgetting Presley the dog who nipped downstairs to say hello. A lovely place.

It is what is says on the tin. Real ale pub that does good food. Excellent range of ales including some interesting ones from their own microbrewery and freshly cooked tasty food. Nothing fancy but good value fare.

When we visit Bolton to go to cineworld in the valley we always stop-off on the way home for a pint of their gorgeous home brews. Always new ones available and great choice. The food is excellent as well.

Came here a couple of weeks back and revisited tonight (sunday night)I chose the roast beef of the sunday menu which i believe is a regular thing they do at the brewhouse. Great choices to pick from. I Didnt fancy a starter but treated myself to the sticky toffee pub and both were fantastic. The rest of the family complimented there food too and loved it.We didnt book but i would deffently next time i visit. The pub was busy with people dining.All in all fantastic pub. Outstanding food and great staff. Well done to everyone tonight was brilliant.

The comment named "modern day bandits" is extremely unfair and I would not be suprised if it was written to bad mouth The Brewhouse for personal gain...hence the naming of other pubs. I eat in The Brewhouse regularly and I fail to see how 2 people could manage to spend £70 unless drinking alot alongside the meal. The food is way above average for a pub and amazing value for money. The portion sizes are not in the least small infact I struggle to finish and never have room for dessert. If you like fantastic high quality food, great atmosphere and nice surroundings I highly recommend The Brewhouse and its sister pub The Thomas Egerton, where the food is also second to none. If not The Cotton Kier or Wetherspoons do great cheap deals!

This is my first review on trip advisor. Friends tell me all about it.Just want to say that i visited saturday night and the pub was packed. It seemed like there was a party in the pub. Was so busy. We didnt book in was welcomed by a young man working behind the bar. He sorted our drinks out and was really polite.A woman came and took the order for food. We was served quick and wasnt sat waiting very long. I ordered the Blackpudding to start. And must say it was the best i have ever had. For main i had the stuffed chicken breast and yet again like my starter ticked every box for me.The rest of my friends enjoyed there meals to. We have been coming here for the last several months. This is a beautiful food pub and had everything we needed.Praises all around for the food as it led to great topic of interest with friends.We will be back

Been before and it just gets better everytime. Recommend it. Smashing food Absolutely smashing 10/10

Great food and service,beautifully decorated brilliant drinks choice nice atmosphere.We visit on a regular basis and have never been disappointed our grandchildren love it.

Excellent pub grub. Really good quality, HUGE portions, great value. The pub is very busy (as a pub!), so I would just bear that in mind on an evening.

My wife and I had arranged to drive from Huddersfield to Bolton where we had lived previously for 30 years. Our friend from North Wales was in Bolton just for the day prior to a family event in the evening. We had not met up for a year or so so just wanted to chat over lunch, and her sister who lives locally recommended The Brewhouse, which we had not visited before.We all arrived about 1.30 and found just a few people eating or drinking. The lady at the bar made us welcome and was helpful in answering my wife's questions about the menu (she is lactose-intolerant).Wife & friend ordered light-bites: small fish & chips and a cheese baguette with chips & salad. My choice was the pub's own steak & ale pie with chips & mushy peas. After the meal we ordered hot drinks as we wanted to stay for a while and talk.We were all very happy with the food and drinks. We were able to talk in the quiet atmosphere, although the bar got a bit busier and noisier later when some football fans arrived.We were all very happy and the bill of £29.55 was very reasonable indeed.

I've been a regular and loyal customer to the brewhouse for 3 years now and loved it. Great food, lovely ales and a really welcoming, warm feel to the place. It's recently been decorated and it's suffered visually as a result. It has more of a cheap pub feel to it rather than the nice homely atmosphere that was previously there. The carpets clearly hadn't been hoovered for a few days which left me wondering what state the kitchens were in... We intended to eat but had a pint and left. None of the old staff were on the bar and the old brewery that was visible from the bar seems to have gone and been replaced with regular barrels. A real shame. A lovely pub and fantastic eatery seems to have died a death.
