We fell upon the pub by accident, and decided to have a look inside. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of if first off, so decided to stay. We had a few drinks and ordered some food, which I must add was spot on ! The manager (Jack) served us at the bar, and was so polite and attentive. We aren’t local to the area so may not be back for a while, but we will definitely call in again. 100% great service, & that’s hard to find sometimes . We’d highly recommend a visit .

Glad we wandered into this pub. Ran by probably the hardest working man I've seen. Jack had time for a natter despite him being the only worker on show. Jack was behind the bar and serving food, He had time to explain the Mix app and told us all the places we can use it. The place is very clean and the food was great. I thought it was run by identical twins at one point. Keep up the good work Jack.

Lovely food that was reasonably priced. The member of bar staff jack couldnt help us enough, bringing out garlic mayo, which isn't available usually and swapping my ice cream for custard after my friend ordered it with our desert by accident. Would highly recommend dining here :)

A works christmas do and the group of us ordered off the set menu. We booked a table for 2.30pm and ask for the food to be served at 3pm. We got our first course an hour and a half later with a 30 minute gap between the first and last person being served main course! Tomato soup was a basic salty marinara sauce, 'rump steak' was tough, veg was overcooked and some people ordered chips but got potatoes. Profiteroles had some strange coating on them and the homemade stuffing was horrific! We were a big group which I know is tough to cater for but we would rather them say they couldn't accommodate us than struggle catering for 15+. Especially considering there were only 2 other small tables eating at the same time. Most of the 'bubbly' was wasted. It was baaaad! We seemed to be an inconvenience for the staff behind the bar. No service with a smile! The waiting staff were friendly though and did try their best. As the title suggests, we didn't have high hopes considering the price but didn't expect it to be that bad. Wed have rather paid a extra for a bit more quality and better service.

Me and the hubby went into Yates in Bolton yesterday for something to eat, we wanted to check out the refurbishment which on first look was quite impressive. The hubby went to bar and ordered 2 Deli sandwich meals with 2 large diet cokes. This was ordered at 11:43am so we sat at one of the booths having our drink and chatting away and usually once food is ordered one of the waiters/bar staff come over and place some condiments and cutlery on the table, but when this didn't happen i didn't think much of it because i assumed they changed the way they did things. It got to 12:30pm some 47 minutes later and the pub was not busy at all and i believe no food was ordered so assumed the kitchen staff weren't so busy.

Standard Bolton Town Boozer. Cheap pints means its a good start up point for a drinking session but bare in mind you have to peel your feet off the floor. After you have managed that you may have to also peel off some unsavoury 'ladies' that look as if they may be residents there as you can guarantee no matter what time of day you visit they'll be loitering.

They've done it! Wow! Yates Bolton has managed to provide the worst rump steak I've ever had!!Loads of fat, no flavour, and like a mouthful of grease, I had to leave the rest of the meal because it turned my stomach.I've complained to Yates on Twitter.I feel like I need to rinse my mouth out.This comes after I ordered the gammon but was later told they were sold out, so quickly changed to rump steak.The venue itself is scruffy, with burnt out lights, and the worst toilets I've experienced in Bolton!I give it 1 star because the girl who served me was friendly and efficient.Ugh I need to go and find somewhere to get a cup of tea or something!

Popped in for lunch and a drink after a morning shopping.First thing that hits you is the smell which had more than a hint of public lavatory about it.Tried to order two mocktails on the two for one offer but we were told they weren't in the offer. Pointed out that according to the menu they were, and that the ones that were excluded were specifically labeled as such. Tough luck, we were wrong apparently. While we were waiting for our food we took in the sights; the sticky floors, drink splashed walls and wobbly and tatty furniture. The over-loud music competed with the screaming toddlers who had the run of the bar while their parents drank and played pool.A waitress came up and grunted at us. Apparently she wanted to take away the menu for the 'all day' breakfast menu. No thank you when I passed it to her, she just wandered off Our food arrived just as we are starting to wonder where it was. It took about 25 minutes which isn't ages but long enough given what we ordered and that the place was fairly empty. The GrilledHalloumi Flatbread turned out to be a cold wrap covered in brown limp salad and four small slices of halloumi fried to a crisp. No sign of the coleslaw the menu promised.Not wanting to wait another 25 minutes we just ate up and left.Lesson learned, we won't be back.

Got to love Yates, Bolton.The cheapest Yates around :)The music is always good, the atmosphere is good and it's a huge place to socialise and meet up with people.Can always have a good night in Yates.

Booked table, and when we had arrived they asked if we wanted child's area as we had 3 children...this was great as it keep them entertain until their food came.. Service was great by all staff we interacted with, especially Sarah and Mia.. we wasn't rushed to leave and it was very relaxing. Was a little let down by the food, wouldn't necessary have a carvery again within the week..but the kids meals where great.

The choice of dishes is very poor. The establishment has nothing to attract. The prices are definitely too high!!! The pizza is no different from the one we buy in the supermarket, only it is very small and designed for one person. The cocktail is in a glass full of ice and when I take it out there is only 1/4 of the cocktail left in the glass... It turns out I am paying over £10 for ice and they don't ask me if I want it or not. The large canape of chicken liver pate was no different from the store bought pate in terms of weight. It was simply strewn with flowers. It is obvious that the restaurant does not strive to feed its guests well. The food is mediocre, like from stores, only 3-4 times more expensive! The cocktail is just a full glass of ice and a little drink at the bottom! I do not recommend this place! And yes, guys, why do you brazenly add tips??? If a person is happy with the food and service, he will still leave a tip... But if he is not happy, then why should he leave a tip????

Service was attentive from the start and hot drinks were served quickly. Food arrived piping hot and it was beautiful. The atmosphere was lovely and the playlist was BANGING for a 90s baby, I had the best time! 🤣 couldn’t fault anything!

Great pub vert friendly staff and clientele. Very welcoming on Memorial Sunday and they made huge efforts to pay respects with entertainment throughout. Free 1st drink for veterans etc. Brilliant pub, will definitely go again.
