Old Three Crowns in Farnworth

Ah, the Old Three Crowns – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local haunt in Bolton, you know? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff really go the extra mile to make you feel welcome, and the service is spot on, which is always a winner when you're settling in for a pint. The food's straightforward but satisfying – think tasty bar snacks and butties at prices that don't sting too much, ideal for a casual catch-up. It's got that warm, traditional atmosphere where you can have a laugh and relax, and even the alcohol-free Guinness gets a nod for those watching their intake. On the flip side, it's not without its rough edges; it can come across as a bit no-frills, which might put off anyone after a more refined experience. Still, if you're up for a genuine, down-to-earth spot with heaps of character, it's well worth a visit – just go with an open mind and you'll likely have a brilliant time.
