The best restaurants in Heaton and Lostock Bolton North West

Love this place - great food and great service and staff amazing. Love how it’s dog friendly too. We love coming here in the summer and winter alike

Took.my mother in law for breakfast on Saturday. Booked a table (definitely a good idea) for 10am and we had a lovely breakfast. The food and service could not be faulted. This place is very popular and I can understand why. We will be returning soon to try the lunch menu and I highly recommend a visit.

Absolutely best restaurant in Bolton. Love it. Best curries I have ever tasted. We been coming for over 10 years when they were in Ladybridge. The quality continues. Try it, it will be your favourite soon.

This has to be the friendliest pub I have visited in many, many years. The staff are, without exception, welcoming and obliging and extremely efficient in serving with a genuine smile for the customer. The locals too are friendly and will engage an individual in conversation. Unlike the unfriendly town of Maidstone in Kent where I lived for 33 years prior to my return to Bolton last year. I look forward to patronising The Barnstormers for many years to come and cannot speak of the establishment too highly.

Came here for an evening drink and a bit of atmosphere, but 45 minutes before closing, the staff went full “pub apocalypse mode” – music, TV's and lights off everywhere except a dramatic spotlight by the bar. I half expected a pub-themed episode of Survivor to start. We asked (very politely, may I add) if they could pop the music back on while we finished the pints we just bought – but no joy. The response was a firm “nah”, with the unspoken subtext of “we’re done here, mate.” One senior staff member explained, with great mystery, that they “have a business to run” – which apparently means switching off vibes well before closing time. Perhaps they’re saving on electricity to fund the sequel: The Silence of the Ales. It’s a shame – we really wanted to like this place. But if you enjoy sipping beer in awkward silence under interrogation lighting while the staff telepathically urge you to leave, this is the spot for you. We’ll stick to the other bars from now on – you know, the ones that actually like having customers. Cheers! (But quietly. With the lights off.)

Enjoying the £10 lunch special inc drink currently. Lovely place

What a fantastic party Thanks so much to the staff They did us a buffet which was absolutely brilliant Nothing too much trouble They really did such a great job Would definitely recommend

Worse Harvester experience ever, decided to go for lunch after a positive hospital appointment to celebrate, we ordered steaks for the main meals with jacket potatoes, just before they arrived we were informed there were no jackets and had to make do with chips which we didn't eat, the steaks were very gristly and sauces were very watery. When we asked for the bill they wavered the cost which was the only positive thing about our experience, on the way home I had to stop the car to let my other half be sick after the meal, will not be going to this Harvester again

Real food done real well. Very nice

Have been several times recently and had a different meal each time, last time I had spicy meat pasta, this time I had chicken burger, and the food is top notch every time, and always friendly & helpful service.

We visited yesterday and despite how busy it was Lucy made our evening enjoyable. Amazing service very friendly girl, had a good laugh. The food was also amazing, we will definitely be coming again!!

Staff are so friendly and welcoming. I had the hunters chicken with fries which was amazing and my friend had the fish and chips with they enjoyed. Would definitely recommend and be going back soon.

Really lovely cafe, staff are lovely & welcoming, the food was delicious. I think it’s quite expensive for a cafe, portion sizes aren’t huge either, slight issue with my elderly Mum only wanting a small lunch but there wasn’t any movement on the soup & sandwich deal even tho she only wanted the soup, little bit too regimented for me. That said, I think we will come back as the food was really nice.
