The Flag Inn in Bolton

Nice little pub. Good atmosphere, friendly staff, very mediocre food.

Called twice recently, once Thursday afternoon when it was empty and the second time was Saturday early evening when it was half full but a great atmosphere with people laughing and chatting. Good seating outside. My partner said that the beer both times was excellent, the best he's had in ages, so they obviously look after it. Didn't eat do cannot comment on the food.

Numerous items missing from menu

Really enjoyed my award winning pie. It was huge and tasty

Great food and amazing staff. Staff are very friendly, and go beyond what is expected.

Food and service was brilliant. It was very quiet as it was only just open from food can't fault at all.

Stopped in for mid week meal, bar shop/manager was very polite and explained they didn't start serving till 12, we kindly agreed to wait and wow, the food was worth the wait extremely good and well served and presented. 10/10

Going of most recent experiences. The food choices were minimal the first 3 things I wanted to order they didn't have in. For a local pub on a weekend it was very disappointing. Staff and drinks on point as always.

Let it be known that this pub does not cater food to families after 6pm as children needs to be out by 7pm. This policy should at least be placed on the website so that there should not be any wasted journeys made.

Great service and welcome spot for a rest after a walk.

Ive eaten at a quite a few green King pubs ,they are all slightly different as in the way the food is cooked ,presented ,tastes.This pub was great...a little gem hidden away ....the service was spot on and friendly ..the food was presented and tasted really nice ....also dogs are allowed in the pub ...Great for all you dog owners....

Great pub full of friendly people!

Fantastic local pub with a superb choice of beer, very friendly and good pub food as well

Great pub, lovely pub grub and a huge range of ales to try. Has a great atmosphere with music and friendly staff and customers. Great pub for an evening drink and food

Friendly staff, happy warm environment, could do with some TLC unfortunately they didn't have the food on that we wanted so we left, but we'll try it again.

First time here not our local but worth a visit very busy but not uncomfortable punters friendly, it's a really great experience does food no picture view but inside really welcoming & a real fire wow.

Very nice cosy welcoming pub would go back

Excellent choice of teal ales 🍺

Nice dog friendly pub. Decent food and friendly staff. Recommended.

Hidden gem off the main road, good size pub, very busy but still had a cosy feel about it. Friendly staff, great food

Great place. Nice and cosy. Good food, always welcoming

Absolutely great night pub busy but nice people and bar staff grant ans Co amazing beat pub in Bromley cross

Great food and drinks. Brilliant as ever.

Overall an excellent establishment,with brilliant staff, a great atmosphere and a good selection of drinks for all tastes. Great new Food Menu, can highly recommend the Bacon and Blue Burger, delicious 😋🤤

Sad news of boxer Rico Burton. A great loss to the boxing world.

Lovely pub, welcoming staff and regulars, great pub grub!

I got the Hunters chicken and chips, not really good at all. To top it off (excuse the pun) the cheese was a slice, looked like it just came out the wrapper and thrown on top.

Spent great evening having drinks and a meal. Good value and great food. They have a good selection of hand pulled ales. The staff are very helpful and friendly. It's good to see a "local" busy mid week.

This is a pub. With good, hot, pub grub. Excellent selection of gins and beers plus many more drinks. It is not fine dining, but, it was a lovely pie and chips and the welcome is excellent. Biscuits for our dog and a bowl of water for him. Friendly and happy staff. Really traditional pub. There are screens for sports matches but unless a big game is on, they are unobtrusive. As a new dog owner, I have found somewhere that I can't wait to return to. Not been at night for over 10 years so can't comment on nights at the flag

Lovely pub great friendly staff very helpful.

It's the flag, it's OK, few decent beers Beers were great this time!!

Always a great atmosphere in this pub. Great mix of age groups too. Should have tried some of the brilliant ales on offer. Maybe next time!

Great pub watching football, great food and service.

Was great a great pub to watch football great atmosphere

I go here quite regularly as its the local for my parents. The selection of beers is great and the staff seem to know about all the guest ales and can advise me on what I might like to try. The food is good quality pub food, and I love the atmosphere with the locals and their dogs!

Came to eat with wife , mother and mother in law. Couldn't believe the bad language coming from a bar man wearing shorts and teeshirt ( not a good look) and the chef . The whole pub could hear them talking with foul language every other word . There was also a familly in with 2 youg children . Not good at all

Went today for lunch, food was lovely and fast, pub in a quiet spot out of the way lovely interior, old style pub with lots of local history! Will be back if we are in the area again x

Lovely local pub in Bromley Cross

I moved in the area just under two years ago and have been welcomed in the Flag Inn by all the friendly staff.landlord is great and really has a great bunch of staff. Recommend for any accasion all sports shown good food and a good selection of beers and ales also a dog freindly pub

I'm a little confused about the times in which children are allowed in, sadly we got asked to leave in December at 7pm on the dot. We were also refused food at 6.05pm because we had a baby with us, as they couldn't guarantee we would be able to eat the food before the 7pm cutoff. Most pubs I've been in state U18s out from 9pm, and The Flag's own website says it's 9pm so would like some clarification if possible. Sad as a group of 8 had come in to eat and we all ended up leaving it / not being allowed to due to having a baby in the group, which seems bizarre. I think the reason given was to "safeguard the conditions of the licence". Other than that it's a great pub, good atmosphere, good drinks choice, good sports viewing options.

Great food, but chilly. Wrap up in winter times

Traditional pub...vibrant...Good value meal deals.

Excellent service from the staff particularly Lewis (chef) and Eloise. Always a warm welcome and very attentive. Great selection of ales and a very good food menu suitable for all. Reccomend to any person after traditional pub experience.

Been going to this pub for years. The current staff and landlord are the most hospitable and friendly people one could ask for. Have eaten here many times and it's always been good, no issues, there's a good variety of drinks to choose from including several draft beers and a range of flavored gins

I have visited this pub over several years and found it to be a great local pub just off the main roads. The current Landlord has done an excellent job in running the pub and employing friendly and efficient staff, which creates a great relaxing atmosphere for both families and groups. I have found that the food served especially the burgers are very tasty and reasonably priced.

Food was very poor and 2 meals were over cooked, my friends burger was undercooked and sent back. they hadnt got most of food that was on the menu, they had no white sugar for tea, they said they had no milk then found some. They had no salad, A dog ( that i thought belonged to the owner because it was roaming around in the dining area) had its mouth and paws on our table and was slavering all over it. Would not recommend ! This was 3 months ago !

A pleasant few hours with family and good banter with the regulars and staff in this traditional pub, not eating today but have had good pub food on many occasions.

Great for sports fans have 3-4 TV 's around the place, friendly staff.

A lovely pub full of regulars with a friendly fun atmosphere. Lovey staff who know nearly everyone and have friendly banter with all and are very polite to new customers.

Busy and bustling. Nice atmosphere

Great local pub, excellent range of beers, good atmosphere

Great local to pop in for a drink or food, customers (human and canine!) and staff very friendly - plus good quality pub food for a great price. We often bring family and friends when they visit to stay with us.

This local is well loved by the community with plenty of regular customers, a real life 'Cheers' where everyone knows your name! The staff are lovely and friendly, the prices are very competitive for the area and good pub food. A cider festival is on at the minute but some good ales are always available. There is an area outside when sunny and it is very dog friendly.

This place always seems busy and yet we always find a table. The atmosphere is also always vibrant and yet it’s very welcoming and everyone seems so friendly. In top of that the food is excellent and of course the liquid refreshment goes down well. They have a great list of ciders on a pop up bar at the moment.

Wonderful selection of beers. Most importantly dispensed by staff who serve the products correctly

Great little beer garden is a suntrap

A favourite 'local' pub. Food quality and service are excellent value for money.

Great pub, but the food menu is limited. Go for a beer, but pick elsewhere for a bite to eat.

Friendly service clean and comfortable. Good menu choice, eaten a few times never disappointed. Hot and tasty and very reasonable. For those who like football it's an interesting place. Great prices for drinks too.

Godd range of beers. Basic pub food but good value.

A great Pub!! Good selection of beers, good service, a good menu and a real fire in the Boardroom when it's cold. Just the place to relax and enjoy a drink. Dog friendly too.

Place was very busy, beers good.

Great, homely location. A nice range of drinks available and plenty of screens to catch up on sport.

Called in for a bite to eat last night. I had the vegan chick pea and sweet potato curry with rice and naan bread and my pal had the Alabama burger with fries. Both were great and good value and the chef was keen to...

Lovely little pub,smashing staff, great beer, great food and the football on that day. Can't ask for more

Great beer, service and dog friendly

Fantastic pub had a great time with my 3 mates beer was good will definitely return

Clean the gents toilet. It stinks. Needs a right good scrubbing and a lot of Chems.

Excellent, good beers, what more could you want.

Friendly staff Abs excellent food.. a lovely country feel pub

Friendly welcome and reasonably priced pub grub

Decent pub with friendly efficient staff. Good choice of gins. Clean toilet facilities.

Little gem of a boozer loved the food and pints

We booked in to eat here on a Saturday evening but the staff seemed not happy that we had booked and also seemed put out trying to find any table left. We pushed our way through the massive crowd at the bar to be seated next to someone smoking a e cig! The room was overcrowded and noisy to the point where we couldn't talk to each other so we got up and left! This place should NOT be taking booking for food during the weekend as the clientele is more for drinking so if you want food - drive in to town!

I don't think they should accept bookings for good when it is that busy as just a bar. They appeared to be disappointed that I said I was there to eat. Walked back out after 2 minutes because the music and people where that loud my wife and I couldn't hear each other without shouting. Not a good place to book to eat on a weekend I'm guessing.

Called in here for tea. Never been in before so wasn't sure what to expect. It's a Greene King pub with a typical pub grub menu. Got served at the bar straight away, food took about 30 minutes to arrive. The place was clean, both...

Good place for a pint, with a good selection of beer

Was OK, nothing extraordinary. Fast service from the bar staff.

Friendly staff. Decent selection of ales

Great pub landlord top and bar staff great

Nice pub , nice staff , good choice of beers aswell

Well organised, lovely little pub

Don't even realise I'd given a one star, must have been in error. Had a great time.

We booked a 2 to 3.15 slot just to have a few beers. We had a confirmation of the booking but the Flag didn't. Was that a warning flag? Luckily it wasn't too busy and we got sat down. Covid measures were in place and...

Really nice little pub, Liam, one of the waiters there, was really friendly and helpful, and even though I was late for my booking, they found me a table. Their beer garden is chill place to be with a drink on a nice day.

My friend and I finally found this great little pub tucked away. The young girl behind the bar was very friendly, felt very welcome in there. Food was lovely and reasonably priced.

Welcoming. Well kept beer. Good prices Good pub grub.

Hubby and I ventured out of the hotel we we were staying at and found this lovely old pub. The meals are excellent value as well as the drinks. Loved the atmosphere. Proper pub! The service was A1! The girls who worked there were brilliant!...

Nipped in with the Mrs for a pint and and some food on match day. Really quick service and great food, Shona and Lewis are a credit

Lots of old-world charm, friendly staff, traditional local with no frills

Came for lunch. Brilliant food cooked to perfection by the chef. The barman (sorry we didn’t ask your name) was polite, served everyone quickly with impeccable manners and had a good knowledge of the beers on sale. Fantastic range of beers (according to my husband-...

The flag is a cute little pub to go to in Bromley cross and the staff are very friendly especially Heidi she is a hard worker and always helps and makes you feel welcome.

Came in for a drink with friends. Choice of drinks were vast and prices were competitive. My only concern was the barman, I believe his name is Ross. He spent the majority of the evening being rude to almost everyone, with the exception of any...

Went for a get together and will be going again excellent service from pip very helpful and definitely recommend to friends and family

Had a really nice meal with my family there a few weeks ago, Heidi the waitress was so friendly. Really made the experience better!

A lovely friendly pub, we have been to the pub a few times now and the service is brilliant. We have mainly been served by Heidi, great service and a bubbly character! Great food by chef Lewis, he is willing to cater to any specific...

My girlfriend and I went for something to eat after being recommended by friends. The pub is lovely and welcoming,food was fabulous and the service was outstanding. Ross was extremely friendly and welcoming nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be returning.

Went to The Flag in Bromley Cross, popular little pub and great service from the bar staff that were on, Ross, Heidi and Shona. Had a great evening will definitely be coming back soon.

The flag is my regular and I cannot fault it ! Come to expect excellent service from Ross as he is my son after all !

Excellent service as always from Ross and Heidi, favourite pub in the Bolton area without a doubt. Can’t wait to come again next week.
