The Finishers Bolton in Bolton

It was years since we've been to this pub so decided a visit was long overdue. It was reassuring to see that not a lot had changed since our last visit and we enjoyed ourselves. It was a large group of us out on a walk and we were quickly made welcome and felt at home. They have a good range of drinks at reasonable prices and the service was fast and friendly. There are TVs showing sport around the place and lots of other rooms should you want some peace and quiet as well. On street parking is available and you will easily find a space.

Visited here for the first time and wondered how we’d overlooked this place time and agin despite living close by. Menu is minimal but homely, no fancy burgers/steaks etc all unclomplicated homecooked meals. I opted for the lamb shank (see pic) and my husband the chicken, ham and leek pie. I could NOT, in my widest dreams finish my plate as the portion was huuuge. My husband gladly lapped up my leftovers and I’m sat writing this review whilst he’s snoring beside me and me thinking I’m not going to eat for the rest of the week. The mint gravy on my lamb dinner was scrumptious. Just everything actually was delicious. My husband was more than happy with his meal too, swapping the mash for the handcut chips. The dining area itself is seperated from the bar but still has a good atmosphere. The staff were lovely, welcoming, friendly and attentive and we most certainly will be back again. 2 mains, 2 large pinots and 2 pints of San Miguel came in at just under £60 and worth every penny.

An amazing pub, with welcoming staff and amazing food. Tried rag pudding for the first time and it was brilliant. Big thank you to Ross and the team for making us feel liking family.

Excellent Weiss bier, conversational heaven, excellent,clean and new decor and furnishings, space, friendly, no music, .... 10/10

We recently celebrated my husbands 50th birthday with friends and family at the Finishers arms, with food supplied by the amazing Tesoro. The service, friendly atmosphere and sublime Pizza, made it a day to remember. Thank you to all the team. If you are considering going, please don’t hesitate. You wont regret it

The pizzas are good but : Historically A great pub spoiled with people bringing dogs in and letting them sit on the chairs and at the tables and in the isles where people are passing. So annoying! Also now like a lot our local pubs a suspected issue with the younger generation doing drugs in the toilets . It’s not good !

Recommend booking online (Tesoro) for a table as gets busy on Friday and Saturday evenings. Enjoyed two great pizzas, each priced £10-12. Great selection of ales. Seated in the side area away from the main bar area, which was cosy and relaxing. This is a great little pub offering superb pizzas, great friendly service and good family-feel atmosphere

Fantastic pizzas, great atmosphere, really friendly staff, very reasonably priced. Can’t recommend highly enough. We’ve visited 5 times now and never been disappointed

Pure greed !! The owners cannot decide if they are a pizza parlour or a pub ! You can be sat on a table in the pub area and if somebody rings up to order the pizza they sell they will have the cheek to boot you off the table regardless of how many drinks you have bought , they need to make there mind up .

Not usually a big fan of Pizza's but on a positive recommendation of the place and it being local booked a table for 6. think ordering a pizza each plus 3 garlic breads between us was for us a mistake to much food, but certainly recommend the place for big eaters, What we did manage to eat though was very good, a nice pub and friendly staff so again would recommend.

Lovely little pub with friendly staff and amazing homemade pizzas. The garlic bread is one of the best in Bolton!

Went out with the Mrs for date night …. Great service and atmosphere as always , this pub is extremely popular so book early to get a table for pizza , no one answers the phone so best calling in

I have been twice now to The Finishers, the first time with family and a table of 6 & the second time just my and my partner. I am not a fan of pizza, but my daughter who lives in the area recommended I try it. We went as as a small part of 6 and from the moment we entered, we were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. We ordered some fantastic wine - Mudhouse, which I ordered again on my second visit. We had starters of hummus and bread and olives, the hummus was amazing. We then ordered various pizzas between us off the menu and we all said they were the nicest pizzas ever. Think the one on the specials with a mozzarella ball was the best, but Spanish Amada was excellent too. Throughout the night, we were looked after by your fabulous team, who couldn’t do enough to look after us. There isn’t a huge choice on the menu, but they don’t need to offer a massive choice when what they offer is so good.

We went for a quick pizza at the Finishers Arms. The service was excellent, the Timothy Taylor’s Landlord was top notch and the pizzas were superb. Well done, guys.

Used to be a nice pub where you could go for a drink and catch up with friends. Yet another pub spoiled by kids and over priced beer. Such a shame

I've been coming here for a few years and have always received great service. Since the restaurant obtained new ownership recently, the food quality has drastically improved, the newly introduced pizza parlour being superb. They also host a number of activities, such as quiz nights and such. A fantastic locally run pub on my doorstep that now serves fantastic pizzas. I strongly recommend you to go since this is a top-tier pub.

Had pizzas as a takeaway exactly the same experience as 7 March review: 'very disappointed; lovely, authentic pizza dough, clearly cooked in a real pizza oven, but, unfortunately, they'd had only a passing acquaintance with toppings. I had a margarita which consisted of a thin veneer of tomato sauce and very little cheese ;' Husbands filling was 'just about there.' Got charged £24 for the two pizzas.

Brilliant Pizza and excellent service from Tasha, Really rate this for a visit in bolton!Great menu and huge selection for everyones taste in napolitan pizza.

Me and four friends wanted to try the new pizza @ Tesoro at the finishers. We were not left disappointed, the quality of the Neapolitan pizza was second to none. The favourite choices on our table were the sweet n spicy and the Spanish Armada (pictured), both packed with flavour. A special mention should go to Tasha, the waitress who was very helpful upon recommending what pizza and dips to get, without her I still think I’d be struggling to make a decision now. Overall a very good experience and we will definitely return for a few beers and pizza!

The server (think she was called tash) couldn’t have been more helpful, recommended pizzas and quick and consistent with the drinks orders. Family friendly and good with friends couldn’t recommend enough!

Called in after visiting friends, nice pleasant atmosphere, recently refurbished I believe. The pub was fairly busy for a early evening, good mixture of ages. Obviously quite a lot of locals in, I believe the food here is good too.

Excellent food , good value for money Staff very friendly & accommodating Sunday Roast was delicious Highly recommend the finishers Good craft beer on tap

The Sunday lunch is to die for and there is a great specials menu too! The staff are very friendly and welcoming and there is a lovely warm feel to the pub with a lovely log burner in the front room to warm yourself after a long walk! Over all a 10/10! Lovely place with lovely people.

Visited tonight for a roast. Snug little pub with an open fire. Serving both mulled wine and mulled cider it was the perfect atmosphere. Had the two course roast dinner, lamb with all the trimmings then apple pie and ice cream. Perfect portions loads of gravy and all home made. Staff are Lovely, we will definitely be back! Thank you

We visited for my daughter's 4th birthday. Lovely welcome and despite what other reviews have said we were made to feel very welcome. In my opinion pubs are not for children if you are not eating any way. Great Sunday lunch meal, piping hot and delicious...we had chilli prawns for starter, my husband opted for Barnsley chops that were huge and filled his plate. We finished this off with sticky toffee pudding and Baileys ice cream. Great deal, great staff and lovely atmosphere. Would def recommend if you like good food, real ale and clean, well looked after homely pubs !! We will def return.

Very pleasant welcome excellent sunday roasts super range of real ales, VERY reasonable prices. What more could you want? We did not have wine with dinner because the beers were so tempting.

nice atmosphere very welcoming good beer restaraunt is excellent good fresh cooked food been loads of times and never had a bad word to say about it

Las reformas deben traer mejoras; ale, vinos, platos abundantes, con acogedoras herald anfitriones una experiencia digna de despedida con su dinero ganado duro. Los trabajadores con los brazos, Untypically ha enterrado su cabeza en la arena. Es una lástima que los clientes han elegido el dinero a lo que realmente importa, junto con una buena pub. Aunque el aspecto del pub ha cambiado para mejor el corazón del pub ha sufrido debido a la falta de cerveza y vinos. Lo que una vez fue un gran lugar para tomar una copa sobre un juego de dardos el domingo por la tarde ya no es ahora.

Cuando un paseo llamado ya que no la había visitado antes. Pub local en un barrio tranquilo. Interior que creo que ha sido reformado recientemente. Agradable zona fuera para atrás cubierto. Cerveza de bombas de mano incluyen cervezas locales. La pinta que tenía estaba bien cuidado y bien. No estaba allí para la comida pero lo consideraría. Un pub me alegraría volver a visitar.

Excellent food and very good service had the sizzling steak and it was lovely.fast service definitely would recommend 5/5

La primera vez que hemos ido a los trabajadores para comer el domingo desde su renovación. Fuimos el francamente buena relación almuerzo de domingo asombrosamente 3 cursos para 14 libras oferta - cualquier entrada, asado y cualquier pud. Buena selección de todos los campos y como de costumbre, excelente comida de calidad, bien presentados. Hay muchos pubs en la zona que hacen un buen almuerzo de domingo pero estoy todavía encontrar una que es increíble relación calidad-precio y calidad. El personal es cálido y amable, y crear un gran ambiente. Un tesoro escondido que vale la pena buscar. El acabado es un pequeño pub muy concurrido, especialmente los domingos, así que asegúrate de reservar para evitar decepciones!

Gran pub, un montón de energía, muy acogedor y amable, y la mejor comida de los domingos que he tenido en los cinco años que he vivido en Bolton. Sólo un gran pub y personal. Visitar y ver por vosotros!

Been going to finishers for a few years now never had a disappointing meal.landlord and staff very friendly good home cooked food and ample portions. Booking recommended as space is limited

Went there today for Sunday Lunch. We had not booked. When we arrived was told fully booked up. We were the only couple plus another two in there. They went in and ate. We stayed there for another 1hour and 20mins And nobody else came in. During that time they could easily have have served us. The impression we got that if you don't book you can't eat. They don't serve food in the bar area which now seems like a waiting area anyway. The pub atmosphere has now gone. The television was on with BBC news and nothing else on one small television. No sport at all. Was not even made to feel welcome. Unless you want too eat don't bother going and then book as you can't turn up and expect to get fed. Very disappointed with what was a great pub.Will not go back. Felt that we could have eaten but they were not interested.

We visited the pub at around 14:30 on a Friday after a walk in the local area, our intention was for a quick drink. There was myself, my wife and young child (in a pram). I ordered our drink at the bar only for the server to say "you'll probably have to leave in an hour because of your pram". Bear in mind there were probably only 3 other customers in. I was shocked at the non-family friendly place this has become since being renovated. The atmosphere set by the bar maid made us feel really uncomfortable and as such we drank up quickly and left. NOT a place recommend for families.

Just re-opened after five weeks building works the pub has a new feel to it, however the service has not changed and the food is still at good standard,Check the opening hours and food times before visiting

A lovely friendly pub which does food. Excellent food and excellent value. I chose a sizzler dish which was great. Others had thehomemade steak pie and fillet au proive. All of us cleared our plates! A value for money and thoroughly enjoyable meal. Definitely one to visit again. No nonsense home cooking at sensible prices.

went for sunday lunch after eating at a manchester restaurant the nite befre, this pwhalace had some work to do to match the meal eaten the previous night. it surpassed it. fabulous lamb mashed potatoes,better than mine, good dessert and all at an incredibly low price given what was on the plate. good beer wines and spirits also served in a lovely pub by friendly staff.

The food at the Finishers Arms never fails to impress for a good Sunday lunch get together with family and friends.Everything is home cooked served piping hot and full of flavour!Food is served in the dining room, but you still get the atmosphere from the traditional pub bar area. The service is friendly and the pub has a welcoming charm about it.I'd recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment.Definitely worth of a recommendation.

Called in on spec and just managed to get a table .lovely home cooked food. Small dining area so really need to book in advance. Small cosy pub with traditional menu.

It's the local pub that everybody dreams of. Fantastic atmosphere and great beers. Real ale. Quiz night on Fridays always a full house.
