Bytes is a cracking little retro gaming bar in Westhoughton, where you get smashing food, cheerful service, and plenty of games to keep the fun going.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely brilliant – think tasty street food options, generous portions, and great value for money, perfect for a casual night out.
  • The staff are so friendly and welcoming; they really make you feel at home with their banter and top-notch service.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's only open four days a week, which might not fit everyone's schedule and could leave you disappointed if you fancy a visit on a quiet day.
  • The operating hours seem a bit all over the place, with varying times that might confuse things when you're trying to plan ahead.

The Gerrard Arms is a welcoming pub in Aspull with fantastic food and service that keeps folks coming back, though it's had a couple of off moments lately that could use some tweaking.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely top-notch, with generous portions and that fresh, home-cooked taste that makes you feel right at home – it's often compared to restaurant quality, which is a real treat for a pub.
  • The staff are super friendly and provide quick, attentive service, making every visit feel welcoming and relaxed, especially with their full table service that lets you just sit back and enjoy.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a few mentions of a recent dip in food quality, which is a shame after such high standards – it might be worth checking in advance if you're planning a special visit.
  • The menu options can feel a bit limited at times, so if you're after a wide variety of choices, you might find yourself wanting more to pick from.

91/100
Loft 24 in Westhoughton is a charming spot for inventive small plates and cracking cocktails, with brilliant service that makes you feel right at home, though it's a weekend-only affair.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely delicious, with a fantastic selection of small plates that blend global flavours and innovative twists on classics – perfect for sharing and exploring new tastes.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making every visit feel welcoming and personal, just like chatting with mates at your local.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's only open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, which can be a bit of a nuisance if you're planning a mid-week treat.
  • The venue is quite small, so it might feel a tad cosy during busier times, and the entrance is just a simple glass door leading up stairs, which could be misleading at first glance.

The White Horse is a welcoming local pub in Westhoughton with a friendly vibe and heaps of entertainment, though it could use a refresh in places to keep things tip-top.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and make you feel right at home with their warm welcomes and attentive service.
  • It's got a cracking atmosphere – think cosy vibes, live music, quiz nights, and bar games that keep things lively and fun.
Areas for Improvement
  • The interior could do with a bit of a spruce-up; it feels a tad dated in spots and doesn't quite live up to the rest of the charm.
  • It can get quite busy, which is great for the buzz but might mean a wait for a table or a drink on popular nights.

Six Six Three is a cracking little bar in Wigan with top-notch food and a friendly atmosphere, though you might want to plan for potential waits on peak times.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is absolutely spot on – think fresh, hearty breakfasts with thick sliced toast and real butter, plus lovely afternoon teas and bottomless brunches that leave you feeling well satisfied.
  • Service is warm and welcoming; the staff are friendly, helpful, and really attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
Areas for Improvement
  • Wait times can be a bit of a drag, especially if they're understaffed for the bookings, which might mean you end up waiting over an hour and possibly leaving without your meal.
  • There might be inconsistencies with service on busier days, as it seems they don't always have enough hands on deck to handle everything smoothly.

The Poacher in Blackrod is a cosy sports pub with a warm, welcoming feel and top-notch drinks, though the service can have its ups and downs.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is spot on – it's a proper friendly spot where you can catch up with mates and soak in that community vibe.
  • They're big on sports, showing TNT and Sky Sports, so it's perfect for watching the big games with a pint in hand.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can sometimes fall flat, like when a server might be having an off day and not quite make you feel as welcome as you'd hope.
  • It might not always buzz with events or offers, so if you're after something extra lively, it could feel a tad quiet at times.

The Brewery Tap is a cracking little spot in Westhoughton for enjoying top-quality craft beers in a relaxed, friendly environment, though it's worth noting the opening hours can be a bit hit or miss.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • Fantastic selection of craft beers, with multi-award-winning ales and a great range of keg options that really showcase their passion for brewing.
  • Super friendly staff who always greet you with a warm smile and make the place feel like a proper welcoming spot for a catch-up.
Areas for Improvement
  • Opening times can be a bit unreliable at times, as one review mentioned it was shut when the website said it should be open – always best to check ahead.
  • Only open six days a week, which might not suit everyone if you're planning a midweek visit and fancy a pint on that closed day.

Nabucco Bar & Restaurant is a cracking spot for genuine Italian grub with top-notch service, though it's not flawless – keep an eye out for the odd slip-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is an absolute delight – think fresh, authentic Italian dishes that really hit the spot, like outstanding fillet steak or seafood fettuccini that could whisk you off to Milan.
  • Service is spot on; the staff are warm, attentive, and always up for a chat, making you feel well looked after from the moment you walk in.
Areas for Improvement
  • There was a mention of one dish, like a peppercorn sauce on steak, that didn't quite taste right and spoilt things for someone, which is a shame when the rest is so good.
  • The operating hours seem a bit inconsistent from what's listed, so it might be worth double-checking before heading out to avoid any disappointment.

The Rosehill Tavern is a charming, traditional pub with fantastic beer and a welcoming vibe, making it a favourite for locals and visitors alike.
Pros and Cons

  • It's got that lovely historical charm with original Victorian features, making it a real treat for anyone who appreciates a traditional pub atmosphere.
Areas for Improvement
  • There was a mention of an issue with the disabled toilets in one review, which might need sorting out for better accessibility.
  • Opening hours wrap up fairly early most nights, so it's not the spot for late-night sessions beyond 11pm or so.

Areas for Improvement
  • Recent feedback suggests it might not be at its best all the time, with one recent review giving it just three stars, so things could vary depending on when you pop in.

Areas for Improvement

Grey Man Westhoughton is a cracking little pub in Bolton that's turned itself around nicely, offering a warm welcome, good drinks, and fun vibes for a proper get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The pub has had a fantastic turnaround under the new landlady, Tina, making it a welcoming spot with a brilliant atmosphere.
  • Friendly staff who make everyone feel right at home, with top-notch service that's always spot on.
Areas for Improvement
  • It seems their online presence is a bit lacking – I had trouble accessing their website, so it might not be the easiest to check out details beforehand.
  • Rules like ID checks and kids needing to leave by 8pm keep things in order, but that could cramp the style if you're after a more relaxed family evening that runs late.

Areas for Improvement
