Came here on 21st March for the first time for us both for me & my boyfriend Scott for my Birthday meal it was worth the wait. The food was beautiful & brilliant choice of different foods. The staff, service was also great from start to finish, Also even though we didn't mention while booking it was for special occasion we mentioned in conversation with one the staff & as an extra surprise they added a candle to my dessert & all sang Happy Birthday to me. We will definitely be returning as was an lovely evening for us both. Thanks for a great night. Jordana x & Scott x

10/10 couldn’t fault a single thing. Amazing food and brilliant, attentive staff. We have just moved to Bolton and been searching for a hidden gem and we have definitely found it with Nicks. Can’t wait to come back!

BEST RESTAURANT AROUND in my view particularly for fish specials and Oysters. Went to Nicks many years ago when it was at Chequerbent and it was excellent then, first time I tried Oysters. A memorable dining experience obviously as recently visited again for my son's birthday at their place in Horwich. We went specifically for Oysters and fish. The experience was fabulous and it lived up to my previous expectations. I can honestly say I cannot fault this place. It was better than James Martin's in Manchester and similarly priced. Now I feel I'm betraying my favourite chef James Martin, but I have to be honest. That said, the bread served at JM was the best I've ever tasted.
Nicks was busy, even for a Wednesday evening. Tables full. Atmosphere was almost wedding reception-like, intimate and friendly. Staff were attentive and welcoming. Decor was relaxing and zen - think Kelly Hoppen neutral ambience.
Cannot wait to go back. Very affordable 2/3 course menu priced at £25/£30 respectively with no concessions on taste, quality or service. Even the house white wine was fantastic.
The only question I ask myself is "why I've not been back sooner?!"
There's magic sprinkled all over that place! ✨ 🥂🍽 🎩 🪄
Ps: I am absolutely not benefitting from this review...it's completely bona fide.
How have I not already reviewed this place!? I've been coming to Nick's restaurant for years. It is by far the best dining experience in Bolton. Mouth watering food, lovely friendly staff, nice ambiance... it's got it all.
It is in the middle of an urban area and doesn't have it's own car park, but there's always plenty of nearby street parking.
It's also not the cheapest place, but you get what you pay for. You will eat like royalty and leave with a full stomach, guaranteed. It is worth every penny. Plus, they often have a market menu which can make a great saving.
Seriously, this place is wonderful. I will go back time and time again.
I could not rate this place any higher if I tried, simply AMAZING! As a family we have visited quite a few times and we have never experienced poor food or poor service.
We visited recently and a family member informed the staff that we were there for a special occasion. The staff went more than above and beyond for us and we are so grateful.
This is definitely the best restaurant in the area and I wouldn't choose to eat anywhere else.
Thank you!
Fantastic food, excellent service and reasonably priced. Certainly good value for money. The mussels were amazing and the best steak I've had in a while. Can't wait to go again
The atmosphere and service was great, the food was ok at best. The food was nothing special and to be honest expensive for the quality. The dessert was pretty bad, the crumble on the apple crumble was so burnt it was black. It was mentioned by one of the party that the 3 crumbles were burnt but only the person who complained was offered an alternative. No apology or refund was offered. My sister comes here often and she has never had a bad meal, so I put this down to a bad experience but unfortunately I won't be returning.
Just been for a lunch time meal.
Really lovely restaurant, exceptional food and generous portions.
The staff were very accommodating and helpful making a delicious meal even more enjoyable…..and very very reasonably priced.
I ll he recommending to all my friends.
Visited on a completely spontaneous date night, we live over 20 miles away and chose a small restaurant at random, we are so glad we came here and will probably make the trip again. In all honesty we felt the area wasn't the best as we parked the car, but once inside the restaurant we had an amazing evening. Food was brilliant, we ordered from the market menu which was an absolute bargain for what we got! From what we overheard on tables nearby, most people were returning customers and it's not difficult to see why. The waiting staff were so friendly and attentive, we were more than happy to leave a generous tip. We were not rushed at all, and had the perfect amount of time between each course to enjoy our evening. Our favourite dishes were the goat's cheese starter and the braised lamb, though everything was lovely. Veg was seasoned perfectly. Spot on.
Me and my wife had a fantastic meal once again. The seafood chowder is one of my favourite starters and a must try for any customers. The ribeye steak was cooked to perfection and just melted in the mouth. My wife had the muscles to start and the chicken stroganoff for om the market menu. She savoured every mouthful. Having eaten out at almost every venue in Bolton, Nick's cooking is on another level.
A very good restaurant. The decor inside is lovely and tasteful and the tables aren’t too cramped in. I ordered the duck with oriental noodles which I have to be honest, was the best duck dish I have ever tasted. Simply devine and not too expensive at 18.50. Everyone else enjoyed their meals too plus the house red wine was fantastic. Can’t wait to return
