About This Pub

Ah, Unity Brook Inn – it's one of those places that feels like a proper local spot in Bolton, where you can pop in for a bite and a bevvy without any fuss. From the reviews, the Thai food stands out as a real winner; it's authentic, tasty, and surprisingly good for a pub setting, with folks raving about it being one of the best in the area. The atmosphere is spot on too – friendly staff and a relaxed feel make it ideal for catching up with friends over a meal. Plus, it's all reasonably priced, so you won't feel short-changed. On the downside, though, service isn't always up to scratch; a few have mentioned getting shuffled around tables or long waits for orders, and there's a recent grumble that makes you wonder if things have slipped a bit lately. Still, with a strong overall rating, I'd say it's worth giving it a go – just keep your expectations in check and maybe book ahead to avoid any hassle. All in all, it's a solid choice for a night out, balancing the good with the not-so-good in that honest way.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The food is absolutely delicious, especially the Thai dishes – it's like stumbling upon a hidden gem in a local pub, with authentic flavours that really hit the spot.
  • Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere make it a great place to unwind and enjoy a meal or a drink with mates.
  • It's reasonably priced, offering solid value for money without breaking the bank.
  • Outdoor seating is surprisingly comfortable, even if it's near the road, perfect for a relaxed summer evening.
Cons
  • Service can be a bit hit or miss, with some reports of being asked to move tables suddenly or facing delays in ordering, which puts a dampener on things.
  • Recent reviews show a dip in quality, like one bad experience where someone hadn't even tried the food yet due to poor service, suggesting it might not be consistent.
  • They seem to struggle with bookings and takeaways, sharing the same phone line, which could lead to frustration if you're trying to sort something out quickly.

I even not taste any food yet. I never been somewhere service bad like that. I’ve been this place without booking. When I arrived I ask for available table for 3 people 2 Thai lady 1 English guy. I’ve got a table. After 3 minutes waiter told as to move the table because has 8 people booked . Yeah we do after 5 min with new table i can see few people try talk sometime waiter then her cone back to my table again and said ‘’can you move back because this table have a booking from the owner this place’’ with the people who talk with waiter look at me same like I steal table from her. if you can hear that you could’ve stayed there or walk away? I’m really very upset. They try to keep regular customer. No walk in. For the first time and forever.

Never imagined there’s such a nice and authentic Thai eatery in a local pub. Will definitely visit again.

This is a review specifically on the new restaurant that has opened up by Unity Brook Inn called Thai Korat. Though you can sit both inside or outside of this establishment, we decided to sit outdoors, and it was absolutely comfortable for us, even being so close to the road, we hardly noticed the traffic passing by. The menu is huge! Which is great if you want to explore new dining options, but if you’re undecided, this menu may be slightly overwhelming for you. They offer a vast array of dishes, which cover most dietary options. We decided on something familiar to us and must say, the food was absolutely delicious and true to the Thai-style. The amount of food served was deceiving as you think you might have a relatively small portion, but we were very much full-up and even needed a take-away to take home with us. The nice thing about this establishment is the friendly service and continued customer care during our meals. The extra touch was having the Owner and Chef personally deliver the courses. One thing to note here is that if you order any beverages, they are to be ordered directly from the bar as the restaurant only cater for the food - but this is a very small thing to factor in.

(This is a review of the Thai food part of the pub only) I called in to sort a takeaway, took a whole before I was eventually put on to someone that could take my order. I think they must have 1 number for the pub and the takeaway, they should look at getting a separate number for smoother service. The Thai food was all really nice, authentic, as good as other places we have tried. My only grumble is the price point for some dishes. We just got 4 starter dishes and it was £30...in particular the chicken and prawn toast at £7.95 and only getting 1 slice was disappointing. A lot of Thai places offer a set menu, if they looked at doing that, with a reasonable price point I would try them again, but for now, there are too many other decent takeaways around that are just better value for money for me.
