I review a lot of places and I believe in giving credit where credits due. I can't really think of anything nice to say about this dire place. Went for breakfast and it wasn't a great experience. Worst breakfast in Bolton. It's really that bad. Ordered vegetarian breakfast and the ultimate breakfast. Firstly, was told we wouldn't be getting mushrooms because the chef is allergic to them. Not a known allergen, and to be honest, sounds made up. If you're allergic to fungus, athletes foot or any other fungal infection must be a life threatening event. Wasn't offered a replacement. Ordered two orange juices and what we received were glasses of ice with a small amount of orange juice. Wasn't offered the option not to have ice, and I believe to remain in compliance with various food labelling laws, it should be called a glass of ice with orange. A joke. At home does this person go to the fridge for orange juice, then fill the glass with ice first? No one I know does that and you should be asked if you want ice, especially at the price we paid. Over £20 for a kids breakfast and adult breakfast and 2 or age juices. It's Horwich, not London. Breakfast themselves eggs barely cooked to the point where they were still see through. Unlimited toast is getting 4 slices - told to ask for more when you run out but that only works if everyone doesn't vacate the customer facing section. While I was waiting and breakfast went cold, a staff member from the wacky warehouse came in and asked is no one around. They then went to find someone. On the subject of poor service, on a previous visit I asked if I could have scrambled 3gg instead of fried. I was told there was no facility for scrambling eggs on site. Really? Why is scrambled egg on toast on the menu then? So, staff treat diners as people to fleece, are not interested in the concept of customer service, and a chef decides they don't do mushrooms and therefore customers won't get what they paid for or offered an alternative. A joke, and before someone pipes up about bringing it to our attention, I don't pay for the privilege of getting into a confrontation. And I repeat I review a lot of aces and even when leaving comments that reflect a substandard experience, I try to be fair and balanced. I wasn't given much option tables were left dirty and uncleared, so I can't even say it was clean.

Not the best visit if I'm honest. The staff are lovely, really lovely. They were busy. We went on a Thurs at 5pm ish. Me and my 5 year old daughter were seated in the main bar area filled with blokes who had just finished work, they'd had a few and the swearing had kicked in. I'm fine personally with swearing but it was too much for my little one while we were out for tea. The food wasn't great. Daughter had nuggets chips and veg sticks. Didn't look fresh and she spat it out refused to eat it. I had loaded chicken strips. The chips had black bruises, the sauces didn't work well together, very bizarre dish that reads like it'll be lovely on the menu but isn't. I ate the chicken and left the rest. I had a blackcurrant and soda. But was pretty much just soda. I planned on saying something but the staff were too busy. It was cheap enough to shrug it off but to some it isn't so thought I'd review. We left to head to wackey warehouse and it had already closed. But that's on me for not checking. Overall not the best, but again... friendly hard working staff in the bar/restaurant.

Call prior to your visit. Avoid football crowds, quiz night, and other events. We visited on a Monday evening and thought that it would be quite ish. On that night, Bolton was playing, but also, they had a quiz night. It was extremely noisy. We had to meet a person who travelled 2.5 hours from down south, and we see her every other month. The only place they had available for us was under the TV. The quiz began, but also Bolton's match. We got surrounded by football fans. The TV was loud, and also the quiz. I had to ask for the manager 3 times to lower the TV, which she actually did. The food was awful. McDonalds has more to big Mac than the plain burger we had for the same price for about a tenner, or even more. The whole atmosphere was terrible, very average service, and awful food. Overall, it ruined our evening.
