I've transfered my affections from the sadly declining Howcroft to here. I've always found the beer to be first class, the staff friendly and attentive and the atmosphere pleasant, always important in a town center pub.

this is the best pub in the world and i will be seeing them all at Christmas dave from the netherlands

Beer is ridiculously cold, measues are poor & staff are surly. Range of beers in this once fine pub is now nothing special. The Sweet Green is now the best Real Ale pub in Bolton.

I cannot believe some of the comments posted about what is probably the best Real Ale pub in Bolton. We visit most Saturday lunchtimes and we have never been greeted with anything but a friendly welcome, superb choice of real ales and brilliant food.

This is not really a pub at all at lunchtimes turning instead to a restaurant with a bar. Drinkers are made to feel most unwelcome at most of the tables because they are occupying space intended for diners. The beers are served far too cold & the range of real ales is not as good as in the past - the Cains mild appears to be no longer available. The food seems to have a good reputation locally but is very ordinary.

On a recent visit the guest ales seemed to be too cold. The pumps had colourful plastic things through which the ale was poured. When the monumental head subsided I had just over 2 thirds of a pint in the glass.
Food still excellent.

Great pub with ales kept in superb condition - and Cain's Mild always available.

Impressive for food and ale. Very smoky, though, and the fact that the Magistrates' Court seems to be next door probably accounted for the presence when I was there of one of those large families of scrotes where great granny was about 40 years older than the youngest brat. The smoking ban, when England & Wales get it, will cure one problem at least.

A proper pub, good beer and food, can be a bit too smokey.
