From walking in to the end of the meal we found the staff attentive, polite without being over the top. The garlic bread with tomato and chilli was lovely, hot from the oven and very tasty. My rump steak was cooked to perfection with a generous amount of peppercorn sauce. The best steak I think I've ever eaten. Hubby's double burger was a tower!! He demolished it with a grin on his face. And a little note to the humongous onion rings!! Brilliant accompaniment. Definitely a place to visit again xx
We had trouble finding a pub that served food on a Monday. The Jolly Carter was out only choice, but it did not disappoint. The staff were friendly and professional, the food was hearty and delicious - and the sticky toffee pudding was a must. We learnt that they are under new management and wish them all the best. My parents will be enjoying their new local regular :)
Great food for a family eat out. Reasonably priced and the drinks were good too. I can see this becoming a regular eatery for me and my family.
What a beautiful local pub, I went to see a live band play as they have them playing some Sundays and most Wednesday's. They play some very good songs and adds to a great evening out. They have some very nice draft beer including my favourite Flat cap from bank top, lovely pint. Great food as well. What more do you need on a Wednesday night good beer, good food and great entertainment.
It was the first time visiting the pub. We booked a table online for late afternoon (booking wasn't really needed as it seemed we were the only people eating). Our drinks and food order was taken. Drinks were served quickly. Unfortunately it took nearly an hour for the food to be prepared which didn't affect us as we were in no hurry. The sizes of the meals were very good, in fact we could not finish everything that was served. The quality was excellent. We will definitely be returning.
I nipped in today before work, had the loaded chicken burger 🍔 which was beautiful, had a couple of bitter shandy, staff were polite, food came quick, new owners are a credit, better than before the pandemic. 🍻
Little lever pub that's always had a good atmosphere. Great beer garden for the summer

So my review is me just me doing a flying visit as we delivered an entrance easel and our baby boxes which we (Bolton Balloon Fairies) provide to hire. Upon entry you get the warmth family feeling, the decor is modern, the staff were very friendly and there was ample space to hold an occasion, there is an easy accessible wheelchair entrance and I would definitely recommend taking a visit whether it be for a drink, family meal or to have an occasion. A very well looked after place and was very clean.
Visited the Jolly many times since it has reopened under new management. I've had nothing but pleasant experiences with the food and staff. Minor teething issues to be expected as a new team looks to deal with the demands of busy public trade. Helen and her team strive to offer well priced food with good quality for the customer.
Considering only just back open, and them finding the ropes and dealing with myriad of hassles, the food today was MOST EXCELLENT. Great chef's they've found, great menu, great surprises, and excellent beer to-boot. Enjoyed being back in there after a) lockdown, b) shut-down and c) a bad illness I'm still recovering from. Well done you lot.
Been a few times staff very friendly and helpful, menu has many choices, meals are excellent but veg could be a bit softer on some meals but in all a great place and will be going back ,
Just had a couple of fantastic meals, steak and chips plus a mix grill. Both meals were excellent accompanied by a couple of beers in a nice environment. The service was good and attentive the overall experience was very enjoyable. Will definitely be revisiting again.
