Called here for a drink while in the area. A nice, modern pub & restaurant. Clean and tidy and recently refurbished. Comfortable seating and a pleasant atmosphere. A good range of drinks available. The deserts, cakes and ice creams looked delicious. I would call here again.
Firstly, very nice refurb - everywhere looks fresh and modern (apart from upstairs men's toilet radiator in picture). Went to order food for 4 people, informed couldn't have steak as had run out (this was 13:15 on a Friday), could always nip next door to booths when you next run out of a dish! Matt (who seemed to be a manager) was very nice and had a nice demeanour. The fish and chips were average, mushy/bland fish. The food all seemed a bit expensive for what it was, if it was £2-5 cheaper that would be more fair.
Well hosts gavin and claudia were lovely..food was really nice..cakes to die for..staff were polite and proffesional..also the place has had a refurb..new tables..chairs..flooring..kitchen..overall..this pub is certainly worth a visit..even just for a drink..or carvery..we ate from the menu..6 of us..meals came all at the same time..nice and hot...gavin and claudia obviously run a tight ship..it was really busy..so atmosphere was buzzing..thankyou for a grest pub experience..
What a fantastic family pub restaurant! Went with 3 adults and 2 children, all our meals were just the right portions, absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Best dirty fries I've had in a while, the tandoori flatbread was huge and perfectly spiced, kids meals did not contain cheap sausages! Every single staff member displayed excellent customer service. Looks like a chain pub from the outside so we didn't have high expectations, so pleased we tried it. Will definitely return when we visit the north again!
Visited for lunch on a Thursday afternoon late August. Large car park in a well maintained condition with 4 designated disabled spaces. All 4 were taken but still plenty of available spaces in the rest of the car park. Access not an issues for anyone in a wheelchair or with mobility problems. Inside didn’t see any steps that could cause problems. A range of seating options available and it was fairly busy when we went in with families and some larger groups enjoying their lunch. The menu seemed pretty extensive. A wide range of options with several deals offering what looked like good value. This included Thursday Curry club. Most of the deals offered a free drink option as well. I opted for the 3 course and a drink deal at £22.95. For my starter I ordered the Beer Battered Bury Black Pudding. Fish and chips for my mains with Cookies and Cream Cheesecake for dessert. For my drink I had a pint of American IPA. My brother ordered a Steak and Pepper Baguette at £10.95 and a pint of Diamond lager which was £4.90. I had assumed it was table service but you placed your order at the bar giving your table number and paid for it at the same time. My starter arrived quite quickly. The poached egg on top cooked as I like with a soft yoke. The black pudding was very tasty but not the biggest of portions. Mains didn’t take long either. I liked the fish. Tasty, reasonably thick with big flakes of fish but again not a massive portion. Disappointed with the chips. They had already started to go cold and seemed a little soft if not soggy. I had asked for garden peas. I got mushy. Didn’t bother making an issue of this as felt by the time I had got someone’s attention and they were replaced I would probably have finished. The first bite into the beef baguette wasn’t encouraging. Meat was mostly gristle with a chunk of fat. However, it was just that one piece. The rest of the beef was fine and was enjoyed along with the fries and the onion rings. But my brother did say he would have liked some more fresh red chilli on it. He only seemed to find the one bit. My cheesecake was fine. Well presented and tasty but I suspect made off site and brought in. One thing I was disappointed with was my pint of American IPA. I don’t recall visiting a Holts establishment before and was keen to try one of their own beers. My pint lacked flavour and had no depth to it. I didn’t get any of the citrus flavour you normally associate with an IPA. For want of a better description it tasted watery. I didn’t finish it. My brother went with the Diamond Premium Lager. 5% ALC Vol. I took a small taste and realised I should have got the same. He enjoyed his pint and went back to the bar for a second. He mentioned my disappointment with the IPA to the server. This was met with a shrug of the shoulders. At £4.90 a pint this lager is very competitively priced against other premium lagers offered in other establishments. The venue itself looked tidy and well maintained. Staff were quick to clean and wipe tables once they had been vacated. Although I did see one young member of staff cleaning around the carvery area which in one way was comical but also a little unhygienic. Maybe a reminder to certain staff to be a little more cautious in how they clean might be in order. And a reminder that there are eyes on them all the time. To sum up, although there was nothing wrong with our food or dining experience there was also nothing that you would describe as delicious, or mouth watering, or exceptional and have us rushing back. But that’s not to say we wouldn’t try another Holts establishment as they do have some attractively priced offers on their menu and they seem to have some nice locations throughout the North West.
