The best restaurants in Horwich and Blackrod Bolton North West

We have the privilege of living close to this restaurant so visit regularly. The food is always delicious, fresh and piping hot. The garlic bread is AMAZING. The portion sizes are very generous too. I just wish I had a bigger stomach to be able to fit more than one course in!!

Great sized servings and always fresh daily. Often visit for lunch and never once disappointing. The girls who work there have a good laugh too. Cannot complain one bit.

Visiting a new place to eat at is something very special to me, why you may ask because variety is the spice of life even with food......it turned out to be a very nice surprise in the end and well worth the visit with many more to come.

Typical airport bar. Busy, but the staff did a great job of servicing our group.

We call in here on a regular basis. Adam brings a friendly welcoming Landlord experience to customers offering a range of cask ales as well as Guinness ( really top form on St Patrick’s Day with hats provided!!), lagers, spirits, wines and currently a great offer on “Small Guinness” cocktails. There is a pool table in a separate room with a choice of sports on various TV’s as well as quieter areas to talk in. Outside is a good sized car park and an outside fenced of area with tables. Being in easy reach of the surrounding villages and on a bus route it’s a great place to meet friends and family. One of those nice pubs used by locals and visitors as well as being dog friendly. Why not drop in and see for yourself.

Had a great meal at this restaurant. Good quality food and atmosphere. Service was excellent. Based on our experience we would recomend this restaurant .

Hey you… yes you reading this… have you not tried this fish & chip shop yet? Why not? Drop in for a fantastic fish, succulent sausage, beltin burgers and champion chips. My recommendation is a fish barm with a thin spread of mushy peas layered between. Don’t just take my word for it, get yourself down there. You won’t be disappointed. 😋

Nice place, good food, very cold inside which was quite uncomfortable, but otherwise good

Tried this takeaway for the first time a month ago and have been back 3 times since! It is really good quality food and big portions for your money! Highly recommend

Honestly I don’t think I have ever enjoyed a meal at any restaurant as much as I did at Sokrates. We had the meze and absolutely ever single dish was DEVINE!!! You can tell the chef pours his heart and soul into each plate and meal!! The staff were absolutely smashing, super friendly and attentive. Value for money is outstanding, especially considering the absolute quality of the food!!!! Not sure if this is a hidden gem but for me it would be the epitome of a hidden gem!!!! We will 100000% be back again and again!! And if you haven’t been, what are you waiting for?? Thank you Sokrates for the glorious food and stunning service and atmosphere!! BRAVO!!

Very quiet on a Thursday at 7.30pm, only 2 other tables ( of 4 and 2 people). The food was very fresh and hot, friendly female owner. Very good value for money on the Groupon voucher for a three course meal. My only negative was that on my calabrese pizza there was excessive diced onion which was only just cooked and we weren't offered parmazan for our starters or pasta.

Had the best time at The Tavern for my Nan’s surprise party! It was a bit of a last-minute booking but nothing was too much trouble. Huge thanks to Karin who went above and beyond to help us get everything sorted. All the staff were so lovely—Kelly stayed right through the night and was an absolute star helping us out with anything we needed. Loved that we could decorate the room ourselves and weren’t tied into using catering like most venues in Horwich (though they offer plenty if you want it, with zero pressure). The room was spotless, looked great, and it was fab having the space all to ourselves. The open mic host even stuck around to do a couple of songs which was a really nice touch. Felt so welcomed from start to finish—would 100% recommend for any event and will happily be going back just for a night out

Jonny served me today very helpful lovely food

We had a great experience with great service from Mia and Eve today and the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend to give it a try

Lovely little spot for breakfast/brunch/lunch and the lemon meringue cake was so light and moist! Will definitely visit again
