The best restaurants in Horwich and Blackrod Bolton North West

Bit noisy from the regulars who sit in there and the girl in the kitchen had her hair down I er the food :( it didn't effect the quality, but it is off putting.

Advertised as Fish Finger and Tartar Sauce Panini which sounded good but what was served was extremely poor. Poor quality fish finger with grey fish, cheap panini, limp salad with low cost tasteless frozen chips. I wouldnt serve that meal to a child never mind ask for money for it! To add further insult 2 x fish panini meal, tea & a water cost just short of £26.00 which is absolutely shocking! Definitely won’t be returning

We visited as a table of 8 for a works do. Great food, portions are huge and everyone's meals were tasty. We all had starters and mains with drinks and it was very reasonably priced. Service was fast however could be a bit more friendly and remember to smile. Other than that would highly recommend to visit

Lovely place , popped in for a little treat , I ended up getting the pistachio cheesecake and it was absolutely beautiful , I will definitely be back for that again. Had my usual latte which is always lovely. The staff here are so helpful and nice. I really enjoy coming to thyme . Will be back again soon.

How can you completely renovate a place and manage to make it 10 times worse? Feels more like a works canteen now. It's all dirty wobbly tables and uncomfortable seats. Won't be back, it's a shame because it used to be a decent place for a stop

Always a favourite. Arrived very late for a booking after horrible traffic. Despite it being very busy we were immediately found a table and the food and service, as always, was fantastic.

Love the refurbished look . Light and airy . Good , friendly service and our order was soon ready ( coffee , hot egg & spinach sandwich , mozzarella & tomato panini . ) Thank you to the staff . We look forward to calling in again when next in the area .

enjoyed my sausage and egg barm

Family meal. Decor in the restaurant is just lovely. Had a family meal . Meal itself was really nice but disappointed at catering for nut allergies . Two in our party had severe nut allergy . Asked about sweet menu and told can’t guarantee if nuts in our not . This shows desserts are brought in and not made on premises which was not what we would have expected. Also we was not asked about allergies and it was not marked on menus . Every other restaurant seem to note on menus now . For this reason we would not come back

Had four delicious hot curries delivered off Goa balti spice in December ordered New Years Eve early evening our two curries were delivered COLD warmed curry up but onion bargies and naan had to be thrown so sorry won't risk it again

Stay home. Buy some ingredients and make your own meal. The food is nothing special and you come home and having to eat something else

It was the first time we'd been here on a Sunday and I'm glad we'd booked, as it was very busy. The food was just as good as normal and my roast duck was superb. Well done Goose and Gander for maintaining your high standards.

Two courses for £18, bargain. Delicious food, great wine, great service. I had the halloumi followed by the carbanara. Fantastic!

Tried this place for the first time yesterday, and will definitely be going back. The garlic bread was mouthwatering!

Excellent takeaway. Speedy delivery. We order meals from here regularly and have never been disappointed. Would recommend.
