The best restaurants in Crompton Bolton North West

Absolute gem of a bar, both in terms of quality of wine and beer on offer and easily the best outdoor beer garden in the town centre.

I have just called into The Olde Pasty Shop. We devoured 2 x pasties - fat, full & tasty, the pastry is just perfect & light, not greasy at all, the nicest pasty, beats Cornish pasties (in Cornwall) hands down! Their own cute little shape. We also tred a Whist pie, I've never had one before, but again, it was delicious! We also had an egg custard, I'm repeating myself now, but they are also perfectly delicious. I have been coming to Bolton for years, why have I never had this shops treats before?????? I will definitely be back. The service was lovely & friendly & it was lovely to see Mrs Walsh, too! Thank you!

Amazing food and genuinely lovely owners - will come again ❤️

Excellent Biryani and quite reasonable. Must try if you are in Bolton.

Came around this place by accident while waiting for my movie to start waiting something to eat I tried a kebab and he cooked it fresh and I've been a few times since and always give a tip and he always busy and food always fresh and I always feel welcome, the place is clean and tidy and think it's family run.

Very tasty food,brilliant customer service and friendly staff. Muhammad Hussain and Faizan were very friendly and provided excellent service.we will be visiting again.

Thought we would get our Xmas get together over and done with before the rush started so we decided on the Elephant and castle because it is near our bus stop.we all had different meals but everything was eaten all that on top of very friendly staff and very reasonable prices. What more could you ask for.

Gorgeous food as always. Lovely staff. Delivery driver really lovely thank you

Absolutely loved the drenched burger and spicy buttermilk burger! Go-to-spot in Bolton when burger cravings need a serious satisfaction🤤

Thought I’d give this place another go. It used to be amazing. I reviewed. it a few years ago when we often ate here more than once a week. It went off the boil during the pandemic. Now it’s a nothing more than a rip off. They make you pay up front now for a reason. If I hadn’t have paid for what they served today, I would have refused to pay. As it was I took three bites and walked out. They can’t even be bothered to cook chicken satay over a grill any more. Now it’s fried. Fried chicken satay! The larb salad tasted as miserable as it looked and the owner / chef acted as if I was a nuisance rather than a customer but still added a mandatory service charge to the bill. Strong avoid.

This cafe is located in Bolton market place. The selection of *premium tea’s is spot on for someone like me who doesn’t drink caffeine, served in a pot so more than enough and at a great price! My friends cortardo was a 10/10. *None of this cheap tea bags full of chemicals! The cakes are divine-the brownies are super fresh and moist! Such a great little place to just sit and relax.

Very kind, Gave us complimentary drinks. And warm wipes, Very fast service, good for price. Will come again.

Took family for a meal. One star was given because the drinks were refreshingly cold. Place is lacking in atmosphere, dull, dreary and eating area is on the first floor. The lamb burger was smelly, burnt and rubbery. When staff/manager was told about it he just apologised! Chicken tikka was lacking in spice. Hot dog is not a hot dog it’s a flattened slab of meat in a bun with no caramelised onions or sauce. Manager informed us the menu on their website is old and out of date. There are notices reminding customers to clean up after you have finished. No surprise we will not be visiting this greasy joint ago .

Reasonably priced. The sausage was really flavoursome, the Hash browns were good and the toast was.... well it was toast. But unfortunately that was a good as it got. The breakfast was overly greasy (as seen in the photos) and the cup of tea had a peculiar sweet taste to it. It was rather busy throughout my time here. Maybe 15-20 people in the space of 5 minutes waiting so they must be doing something right. The gentleman taking orders was polite. Would I come back? Sorry, buts it's a no from me.

Excellent. Beer was well kept, bar staff very friendly and knowledgeable most definitely another visit in the near future. Well done.
