The Courthouse Restaurant & Bar in Bolton

Loved the service and had a really nice atmosphere with soothing music that wasn't too loud so we could hear each other talk, waiters were very polite and refilled our drinks as soon as we were empty.

Limited food on the bottomless brunch, but good price and service. Atmosphere is gorgeous, kind staff. Clean toilets. Leanne and Jake are welcoming and warming, Jake is the best and most attentive bartender

Visited yesterday for the second time, the food is outstanding! We had the bottomless brunch this time and it's the best one I've had, a great meal with the most amazing cocktails. Staff are fantastic, can't fault this place! 5* all the way!

Brilliant restaurant, the food was fabulous and I highly recommend the mocktails, they were so nice! The service was also brilliant, shout out to Gemma, Vish and Jake, so lovely, helpful and happy.

New menu is beautiful! Service perfect as always and dj playing good music for the vibe!

We didn't realise the menu had completely changed. We were not informed when we asked for a table. The cocktails are great & the food was nice. Only issue I had was the waiter spilt my drink which landed in my shopping bag & on the floor. He did apologise & it was a accident, just it went all over my new clothes that I had purchased. I didn't want to make a scene but little disappointed that they didn't take anything off the bill.

Five-Star Experience – Delicious Food. We recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic restaurant, for an early tea after my friend and I visited the local cinema, I was thoroughly impressed from start to finish. The decor is warm, inviting, and tastefully done, creating a cozy yet stylish atmosphere that makes you feel welcome the moment you step inside. For my meal, I ordered the fully loaded naan with chicken tikka — and it was absolutely incredible. The naan was soft and perfectly baked, generously topped with tender, flavourful chicken tikka, fries and salad with just the right amount of sauce. Every bite was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. It was hearty, satisfying, and beautifully presented. What made the experience even better was the service. The staff were genuinely friendly, attentive, and prompt without being overbearing. You can tell they truly care about their guests and take pride in what they do. All in all, it was a top-notch experience and we will definitely be returning

Came out for a meal and drinks with friends and the service was incredible. I had the pav bhaji for a starter and it was incredible. The chicken karai with naan was amazing. The cocktails were spectacular as well. Would definitely recommend and i will 100% be back again.

Tonight was my first time trying the new menu, Wow id definitely be returning here... my favorite food spot in bolton definitely. The place it's self was stunning the staff were very professional greeted me at the door and led us to our table. The cocktail menu i asked for recommendations as there was so many I wanted to choose. They were all stunning. My favorites were dark and stormy and tiki suprise. Now to the food was unbelievable. The bombay bites where to die for Oh my gosh the lamb karahi was 10/10 I also loved the chicken ra ra keema was really good and flavoursome too. Personally I'd like it more spicy but it was my friends and she said it was perfect. What I did like is that the waiter said you can order them more to your spice levels which I loved. I'll definitely come back here for both the food and cocktails. We took a group of 10 people which came to around £23 a head and we all left in a food coma

Absolutely blown away by The Courthouse in Bolton. The food and drinks are nothing short of exceptional. Every dish is packed with flavor and beautifully presented, and the cocktails are top-tier—crafted with real care and creativity. It’s clear the team here takes real pride in what they do. Whether you’re going for a casual lunch or a night out, it’s easily one of the best spots in town. Highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing atmosphere, first time in Bolton and it's made the trip perfect. Came here twice, great cocktails at good price and the food was a taste sensation. Had the street food and loved every bite! Definitely recommend. Gemma was so accommodating, friendly, professional and welcoming!

Leanne, Ali and Vish have looked after us so much. The table service, the standard of drinks and the atmosphere was exceptional. Can't wait to come back for more. The cocktails were unbelievable and was looked after from the moment we came in. Had a proper laugh with the staff who were so friendly.

Fantastic atmosphere, great food, beautiful cocktails. The staff here are so lovely, we had a lovely conversation with Gemma who recommend a custom cocktail and where to go for the rest of the evening. Can’t wait to visit again!

Changed the menu to Indian food don’t really want to eat an Indian in the afternoon disappointing

Gemma was fabulous, food was delicious!

Milan was amazing great customer service food was fresh and good allover had a good time

Lovely food, Gemma was amazing great service x

Food was really tasty. Milan and Gemma were really helpful and friendly

I was unsure of the new menu changed but quickly changed I ordered the roti taco and the loaded masala fries loved both and a lot of flavour. Fantastic service milan and Jemma where fantastic very friendly best service I’ve had at court house. The pistachio filled croissant is delicious!! Atmosphere was quiet but it is a Sunday 💁🏼‍♀️

Had cocktails.... Decent enough would go again

Brilliant night at the courthouse, food was delicious, cocktails were great, lovely atmosphere

Had an amazing experience .The food and drink, in addition to the service , we're excellent

Food was really nice, the service pleasant and efficient - I thought the music was a little loud though.

Brill staff amazing people such a lovely environment

Visited on a Saturday night, really busy. Excellent food- had the ‘ain’t easy being cheesy burger’ absolutely excellent. Tasty and good value. Other people had things such as the chicken supreme- absolutely delicious. Smart venue and good people, spent £30 per head with drinks. Magnificent. Highly recommend.

DO NOT GO If 0 stars was possible I would give had to send a pizza back cos all the toppings fell off had better frozen, cocktails had no alcohol purely juice when pizza was sent back chicken burger was given very low standard thin not crispy and charged £1 for sauce. We got a plate of chicken strips £9 and got 3 of them. Food looked nothing like the pics lower standard than a takeaway.

Food was delicious, service was great. Would return!

Good food, good environment, great customer service

The food at the courthouse was lovely, the staff was all very friendly especially Milan who took his time to chat to us. Would come again definitely recommend.

Lovey food and drinks and our waiter who has looked after us all night thankyou Milan 🥰

Fantastic venue and the staff are so welcoming! Definelty recommend ❤️

Great service' amazing food and had the loveliest servers. Will definitely be coming back, thank you!!

Bottomless brunch… would definitely recommend. Very fast service and fast refills on drinks. Food is amazing

Delicious food, relaxed atmosphere.

Had such a good experience and bar staff and waitresses always making sure tables have got drinks and food all the time always checking sure your okay at the tables and Milan the manager was spectacular.

Always a great Beer. Very cold in there. Hope they sort the heating out soon

Good cheap pub...good food ..good beer.. No food this time ...big screen for England 🇬🇧 match ...good chat with owner...lovely and friendly...perfic atmosphere...

Last minute decision to visit here was not a wasted opportunity, I thoroughly enjoyed the small plates of food and the cocktails really hit the spot when they are prepared properly. Will definitely be going back for more of the same.

We always visit courthouse and it’s always perfect every time! Food and drinks are very good, we’ve never had a bad experience 😊 We recently hosted our engagement party here and it is the perfect venue, the staff were amazing from start to finish from booking to drinks being served. We would highly recommend courthouse to anyone thinking about booking an event here or even visiting for food or drink!! 🥂

Lovely food 🍲 ordered chicken 🐔 🧀 cheeseburger n 🍟 fries really nice food 🍲 n good service would definitely go 👍 again

Enjoyed a tasty meal and desert here after work. Lovely inside with welcoming staff. Can see myself stopping off here again.

Love to pop in after work food is nice and the cocktails are great

Absolutely horrendous, don’t usually complain about food however what they claimed was salt and pepper calamari didn’t have any salt or pepper and was bland, burger looked like it had been ran over quite a few times, luckily we didn’t bring my autistic sibling as the atmosphere was loud and isn’t inclusive to people with disabilities, the only saving grace would have been the lamb if it had been seasoned before cooking, I advise that you drink heavily if you’d like to eat here, very over priced for what it’s worth

Food was awful well overpriced for the portion size. Service was terrible had me and my family waiting ages for a starter & we didn’t get asked if we wanted drinks after being there for half an hour. I asked to see the manager at the end of the meal to complain about the food not being warm enough (I assume it was microwaved) and the manager was rude. I will not be returning and heard bad stuff about this place but thought I’d give it a try as it’s on my door stop. Avoid eating here, terrible.

Great food 😋 and good cocktails 🍸 Worth a visit.

Customer service was above reproach the bartender and waitress couldn’t be more friendly and professional. The food was superb from first the taste to the last. The ambience was very refreshing and modern. It just made the hold dining experience relaxing and special night for the both of us. We will be go back this September again when we visit Bolton from Florida. I recommend The Court House Bolton for a romantic dinner out.

The food was banging, when it eventually arrived… the service was very slow… 1 person taking food orders at the table, 1 person taking orders at the bar 1 person making cocktails and a young lad that couldn’t serve… it wasn’t super busy but it was busy enough…the waiting around was abit of a joke, having 1 more person would have probably helped stood at the bar a good 15mins. Probably won’t return

Love this place Waiting for refub, much needed, please keep the lamp a over the bar Menu at present limited hope you do specials again soon New review after re furb and new menu excellent lovely lunch if small plates, good service not too busy although the evenings are mega busy Up date reopened after close down new staff new menu no small plates.we went at lunch time only one other customer

Service was exceptional, all of the waitress's were brilliant. Food was delicious. Bottomless brunch well worth the money.

Went in for leaving do drinks. No Guinness as tap was out of order but the Cruz Campo was excellent. Great selection of cocktails. Very friendly staff.

Food and service were amazing! The steak was absolutely succulent. Only thing was that the music was just too loud and there was only us and a handful of other dinners around 4 pm

After visiting on 23/05/24 was really disappointed with the new menu and cocktails menu. Shame the blue cheese sauce is off the menu goes perfectly with your amazing steaks. Gutted the cocoberries cocktails has also been taken off the drinks menu.

We always come here food is absolutely amazing and service is always fantastic my only complaint is the lighting in the ladies bathroom isn't working.

Lovely tasty food , service brilliant , staff lovely, cocktails really good , will definitely go again.had a fantastic time for my girl cousins get together.

Was very busy but we didn't have to wait for a table probably because there was only 2 of us. There was background music but was drowned out by everyone talking loudly. Staff were polite and diligent and the food seemed freshly cooked which is always a bonus these days. Parking is limited but plenty of taxis. Wouldn't say it was wheelchair friendly. Good selection of drinks and not overpriced in my opinion.

I ate here yesterday for the second time. Food and service is always spot on. However on this occasion I went to the toilet but had to come straight out as there was the most horrible smell all over the toilet area in the corridor and when I opened the door I was nearly sick. I've never smelt anything like it before in a restaurant. I told the bar staff who said they'd go and check straight away. I sat and watched them and not one of them went in. Baring in mind the place had only recently reopened due to a 'problem'. Seems the problem hadn't been properly fixed on re-opening. It needs addressing ASAP as this is a serious issue.

Great food at a reasonable price. Can get loud and you are best booking in advance but its worth it!

Called in yesterday the food was amazing has always. Georgina was our waitress very helpful.

Experience was excellent, service was brilliant food was lovely, our waitress Jordon and Milan were so attentive.

Amazing food as always 👌 3 light bites for £21 do the job

Popped in for lunch. Not busy which was good. Service was friendly and prompt. The menu has a wide choice and we chose dirty fries. The portions were large, tasty and nicely presented. Think we will go for the 2 for £15 next time! My only negative is that the dining area seemed cold. We weren't sitting near the door. A friend who visited last week made the same comment.

A great place for a pre show Octagon meal. Just tell the staff when you need to leave for the show.

Spent a couple of hours here early new years eve. Service was great. Cocktails were so good. We had a selection of starters and they were all very good. Music was sooooo good I didn't want to leave.

Booked a table for a small party of 4 to enjoy a festive lunch with colleagues; the staff were extremely helpful when I made the initial booking - even when I phoned to make a last minute amendment to add another person. The serving staff were very patient, helpful & respectful to us all and were clearly making us, along with other parties feel welcome. The timing of general service & bringing out the food was clearly well thought out - something that rarely gets mentioned in a review but makes a big difference. The food itself (I can only judge the food I personally ordered) was cooked perfectly; delicate and seasoned tastefully, the lamb main course & garnish was indulgent in flavour - a very generous serving too, but this is what you would want to expect in a festive winter dish! If I was to give any constructive criticism I'd have to be a bit nit-picky here; the prices of the individual dishes are a little on the high-side for the local area - but I can only say this is justified for two reasons: as I picked from the set 'festive menu' the price was reduced somewhat, and secondly the service & quality of the food were also above the accepted standard of what I would expect in the local area. Thanks to you all for making our extended lunch hour a pleasant one! Benjamin

I went with my friend for a meal at 6:45 and they wouldn’t let us in due to me not bringing ID as i was driving so therefore wasn’t planning to drink. it said nothing on the website about needing to bring ID and we booked a reservation so assumed we could go inside for a meal. the bouncer himself was very rude and passive aggressive, making comments about how my attitude stinks. I am very shocked and appalled at this kind of service. It’s new year’s eve, and now i’ve been made to go back home due to every where else being fully booked, and we booked the courthouse in advanced to prevent this happening. I felt embarrassed at the public confrontation that he presented towards us. It said on the website that we would be charged if we didn’t turn up to our reservation, now that means we will be charged even though we did turn up but they didn’t let us in. It’s as if i’m being charged for public humiliation. I went out of my way to travel to this restaurant and would have been too much hassle and time consuming if i was to go back home and fetch my ID. I also had to pay for parking to visit this restaurant and that has gone to waste. I wish for compensation for the humiliation i encountered.

Good Menu but service practically non-existent, despite it being rather quiet. Arrived and waited at bar, never asked for drinks whilst waiting. Taken to table but again never given chance to order drinks, managed to get attention of a waitress and order 4 drinks followed by food. Food arrived before drinks which had to be asked for a 3rd time. Wrong food order brought out meant 1 of us had to wait another 15 mins for food - No apology offered and made to feel like it was our fault. No - one bothered to check in at any time, but to be honest by the time we all got to eat we just wanted to get away. Needs massive improvement on service and some form of direction given to the staff.

I had a night at Courthouse Bolton and unfortunately i was met with extremely poor customer service by a bartender with the name of Adam. He gave the worst attitude towards me and my friends, which put a dampner on our night out. It was extremely poor and im unsure how he is still employed at this establishment. Furthermore, he was incompetent within his job, serving our drinks 40 minutes after we ordered, despite them being wrong! A lovely establishment, ruined by ignorant and rude staff members - Adam. I hope this issue is sorted, as i will not be returning and i will being telling friends and family not to bother with this place.

Fantastic place very welcoming, and a special thanks to the manager Kian who was extra helpful on our visit, he definitely deserves a payrise. Thanks again Kian, top man.

The food was delicious and service was perfect, very quick service for the time of year.

Just love this place! AMAZING cocktails. Absolutely lovly staff. Love the butter chicken sooo yummy.

Had a lovely family meal here lovely waitress and food.

Went on a Friday night at around 7:30pm. Food was tasty and service was decent. But the thing that spoiled our evening was the volume of the music. The DJ was playing great music but for how many tables were dining we couldn’t hear each other talk. Even sat right next to each other we were yelling. I’m all for a party and loud music but volume should be lower for dinner service in the restaurant area. Would return for a drink but probably not for a dinner.

Nice food, bar staff a bit rude! Very loud couldn't speak to the person next to me had to shout

Ate here on Christmas Eve, post-refurbishment. Love the new menu with lots to choose from, large portions and tasty food. Good service and friendly staff. On this occasion I have to say the fish was awful, I don't think it was fresh and tasted a bit spicy and, luke warm in the middle. I don't think we will be eating here again.

Food was good with a variety of options available. An excellent range of drinks and cocktails were on offer - we loved the Flaming Zombie!! We had burgers and steaks - all were cooked to perfection. A wide variety of tasty Vegan options were also available. Pricing was very affordable.

This place has become so run down that it is almost a dive . My bench seat had a ripped cover .. there was no coffee ,as machine was broken . I asked for pepper and the pot had no plug in it so therefore no pepper . The ladies toilets were closed , so had to yes the disabled toilets. There was no mirror in them .. I asked to speak to management ,but none appeared .. as this is the only proper restaurant in town it is a disgrace , no wonder it was practically empty .

Had a meal here for my birthday on Saturday 18th November. The food was really good. They charged my family £40.00 for a £16.99 birthday cake from Costco. They were also overcharged for the food and some shots. They over charged by £40.00 and they have been emailed twice now. When my son was making a booking they replied straight away. So far my son has had no replies to his emails. Be careful when you go here. Check your bill very carefully before you pay it. We had a very large bill as there were 14 of us. So didn't notice the over charging until next day. They have said they will ring to sort out the overcharging and still waiting for it to happen. Definitely won't be going here again

Service was ok nothing special about the food but it was really ok, the pub itself is in need of a refurb and the prices are reasonable

We had a really great time here, the portion sizes are perfect and were great value for money amazing tastes too, staff were very friendly as well, would recommend 🙌

Nice place... Food very good... Dined here before a show as not too far from albert halls... I would say it was very noisy indeed but other than that a really nice meal and service

Lovely looking place, clean and tidy. Very prompt service. Food was deliciously fresh and tasty. Deffo going on our favourite list 👍🏻

Went for our anniversary and it was brilliant, even took some home.

Cracking place, first time in the area, called in for lunch. Food was amazing and a great choice of drinks. Will definitely be back!

Went for a work outing. I would highly recommend.

Great space, nice decor. Straightforward good value pub food.

Excellent food you feel up market but prices ok

Amazing food and drinks, best in Bolton by far! Lovely staff and incredible service

I was here recently for bottomless brunch and I'll be honest I was fuming at paying £40 for burger OR fries and only a very small number of cocktails, however the burger came woth its own fries and the other fries where loaded, let me tell you there was plenty there! Very tasty, very good protion, hubby loved his burger. Disappointed with the few drinks on offer but we still made out moneys worth and they did keep the jugs coming. At first they loaded the jugs full to the brim with ice so we hardly got half a glass each but once we pulled em and asked for less they filled the jugs properly. Nice place, clean and friendly

The food was amazing! Couldn't fault a thing, great food and lovely service. We made the most of the lunch deal on a Sunday and couldn't have been happier! Lunch and a drink for £10 - and to notch quality! Would definitely recommend it to anybody!

I've never been to Bolton before, what a surprise. Went to the court house as it was the only place we could get a table for six at short notice. The menu is really good and really surprised us, you get great value for money. The burgers were great and the loaded fries were something else. Staff were really friendly and accommodating. Please try the lamb loaded fries.......I'm about to pop! Will go back again 100%

Food was quite nice, but the service was a bit hit and miss (including forgetting the glasses for those with bottled water, not asking if we wanted any condiments and bringing us the wrong bill). But mostly, the noise in there was phenomenally loud and off putting. No chance to really hear the other people on our table, and the server couldn't really hear what we were ordering either. We had contemplated further drinks and desserts, but decided that we were done with shouting at each other.

We arrived, having pre-booked, and spoke to someone about our booking. They acknowledged us and then walked off, leaving us standing there. The bar staff said they were sorting the table, so we waited ... and waited ... until it became apparent we had been forgotten. They weren't rude, not in the least, simply forgetful, but very apologetic once they realised. Service after that was reasonably good. The food was fantastic; really nice. Absolutely loved the food. The atmosphere felt crowded and loud. We could barely hear each other when talking, and it felt more like a nightclub than a restaurant. Great food, and I'd go back for that, but the general ambience was not for me. Of course, this is purely personal ... just not my sort of place. (My daughter warned me it would be too trendy for me).

The food is stunning! The decor is beautiful and the service is spot on

Nothing to rant and rave about it was alright, music very loud and the draught pints was not working so you had to buy bottles.

Split bar and restaurant very nice decor

Delicious burger! Highly recommend. The place looks very nice and the bar-mans are nice. Good meat, good additives and very nice fries. The Service was rude and not nice. that was the only bad thing about this place but it's easy to fix. But the food is amazing. The best burger in Bolton.

I'm very fussy when it comes to both food and customer service, but I honestly have to say 100% excellent quality for both. Food is amazing and the staff customer service is spot on well done.

We had a table of 7 booked on a Saturday evening and from the minute we arrived until we left everything was perfect, servers where pleasant and helpful , food was amazing and plentiful, drinks superb, dj playing in the background . The food was better than we ever could have expected and we all had a small plate and a main with drink and average price was £25 per person for a town centre restaurant on a Saturday is superb value for money , pity I live a distance away because I'd be a very very frequent visitor thanks for making our rare family get together extra special

The food was lovely and service first class
