This time last year, there wasn't even a building standing here! Coast To Coast is the newest…read moreaddition to Bolton's Middlebrook Retail Park, and has had the good fortune of having a unit built especially for them between Pizza Hut and McDonalds, where there was formerly some parking that wasn't used very much. As you approach the restaurant, it's nice to see that they have a stylish and pleasant outdoor seating area which I can see being popular in summer. A nice touch is that the pots on the tables are actually fresh rosemary plants which smell great. When you walk into the restaurant itself, it definitely has a "wow" factor. It's very stylishly decorated in dark woods, padding, and with theatrical lighting and spotlights to give it a nicer atmosphere, very much in a New York Loft style. The decoration is very focussed on its American theming, with wall boxes containing artifacts and pictures of different US States. Even the toilets are bright, stylish, and pleasant. The seating is split into different areas and a bar area, there are standard tables, tall tables, and cosy booths, all padded in blacks, deep blues, and reds. The condiments on the table tell you ahead of time that you're in for a good quality trip. High quality vinegar, Tabasco, and Budweiser BBQ Sauce (delicious!) with tactile salt and pepper shakers have you ready for the experience. The menu is extensive, expensive, and very tempting! I say expensive, as it's a bit more than the average cost in the area, (their cheapest burger is £10.45), but they have some really good weekday lunch offers where you can really get a good deal compared to the main evening menu. Our server was a pleasant guy called Joel who told us about the specials, things not available, and his personal recommendations. He was friendly and professional through our visit, attempting to up-sell a few times (sides, desserts etc) but without being obnoxious or pushy about it. We ordered from the lunch menu, and chose to start with the loaded skins and the battered mushrooms. These didn't take long to arrive, and were absolutely superb. The battered mushrooms weren't little button mushrooms like the usual offerings, but big mushrooms, in a perfectly crispy batter! The potato skins were loaded with cheese and BBQ Pulled Pork, which was mind blowing! I've not had pulled pork in a loaded skin before, and the flavour and texture was sublime. I didn't even need to touch that mayonnaise! It's a nice point to notice that the dishes are prepared so their logo is at the top of the plate, and facing the customer, almost like a piece of artwork. For our mains we went for the classic cheeseburger and the southern fried chicken burger. Once again, these were nicely presented. We both chose different fries as our accompaniments. The normal fries were nice but nothing amazing, however the sweet potato fries were crispy, delicious, and morish! I'd definitely get those next time! The cheeseburger was juicy and meaty, and perfectly cooked. The southern fried chicken burger had the most perfect crunch, and was seasoned just right without turning into the pepper-fest that so many chicken dishes fall into. We didn't order dessert (we were stuffed!), but Joel told us about how his favourite dessert was the warm fudge brownie, (complete with "mmm! nom nom nom!" after describing it). The food was very good, particularly given the lunchtime price. I'm not sure I'd be as happy with the price if it was the full evening cost, but as somewhere to come for a special occasion now and then, Coast To Coast delivers, even if it's not somewhere you'd go as often as some of the other cheaper chain restaurant options on the leisure park. However, I can see those other restaurants quaking in their boots a bit, as Coast To Coast is doing what they're doing, but better, and may steal their customers! The service is really superb, from the host greeting you at the door, to the server, and even the folks bringing the food out to your table if your server is busy. We felt taken care of, and looked after. It didn't feel like we were just another bill, and we didn't have to crane ourselves about looking for staff. I'd dine here again. It'd be great for a birthday or anniversary visit. There's much more I'd like to try from that menu! I have my eye on the sliders...

Quick stop for food before heading off on the long drive home…read more There are loads of eateries in this leisure park, after having an initial look around this one drew our attention, easy to park at, inviting exterior and well lit On entering we were almost immediately seated by a the lovely hostess, very polite and smiling. I liked the decor of the interior, there was a lot of booth style seating which made it feel very luxurious and private from other diners We were promptly given the menus and asked for drinks again by a gentleman who was very welcoming and helpful That's the reason they get the two stars so far...... Cause after this .... Nothing was that great The food took a lot longer than expected to come out, over 30 mins from ordering, looking around the place wasn't even 1/4 full, this made us wonder how they coped on the busier nights We spotted our food on the hot plate and it sat there for some time before we finally had it served, I guess this was why we got warm food instead of hot food The food itself was very blahhh What I mean by that is .... I ordered a burger and chips and the burger was quite small in the bun, no real flavour and each bite was rather bland, even the presentation was boring and lacked any appeal. Buffalo boneless chicken had plenty of sauce and I'm glad as the chicken itself was very dry Onion rings tasted like week old dirt oil leaving them quite greasy. The hot and spicy calzone was neither hot nor spicy The food was very underwhelming and frankly disappointing From a place that visually appeals up until the plates are placed in front of you

I have always been a fan of Uncle Sam's and I always will be, for its delicious American style…read morefood. My experiences at this restaurant have never been disappointing; maybe that's because I seldom go at peak times and I tend to usually order my favourite dishes. Any meal with fall-off-the-bone saucy, meaty and juicy ribs does it for me; absolutely divine and you must try them if you haven't already. If you are unsure where to go to eat whether or not you're alone, Uncle Sam's is a definite recommendation - there is a choice of food that would suit everyone including kids menus plus they serve breakfast all day! Their portions are also liberal and prices are more than reasonable. Uncle Sam's is simple in design both from the outside and the inside, not to be underestimated for its quality and fine service.

I have been on a couple of occasions and both times had a completely different experience. The first time the food was fab, real honest homecooked food with real generous portions, and all at a great price. The second time was a trainwreck... the staff were still as friendly and cheerful, however the food was not. It tasted like it had been pulled from the bottom of a freezer. I've given three stars because I don't know if the first day was a one off excellent day, or if the horrendous meal was a one off bad day!

As far as chain pizza goes, Pizza Express at Cheshire Oaks is pretty good. It is one of the newly…read morerefurbished locations, so the restaurant interior does look improved, fresh and modern. As you'd expect from a restaurant serving a large shopping area, it has plenty of seating, despite visiting on a Saturday afternoon, I was able to get a table with my two guests, without much of a problem. We were even given a rather nice, comfortable booth. The lighting above the booth did affect the quality of my photos, but in person I rather liked it. I ordered my usual Pizza Express order, the gluten-free Pollo Pancetta, despite it no longer being on the menu, after my friendly server checked with the kitchen, they offered to make it anyway. Normally they do have the ingredients, but it was removed from the menu for some reason. Considering they were rather busy, my pizza tasted quite good with a nice amount of the toppings (chicken, pancetta, peppers etc). My guest, having only a lite appetite ordered two starters to split between them: - Dough Balls with Garlic Butter - Garlic Bread with Mozzarella The server brought everything at the same time (as requested) so we could eat together, which we appreciated. They also enjoyed their food. They had no complaints regarding their food. One of my guests, ordered the Biscoff Cheesecake Dolcetti, which came with a large latte, it was only a bite-sized dessert, but it looked pretty cute and went well with the beverage. The first coffee was served cold, but the server quickly replaced it after we let her know. The Naturally Pink Apple Juice was also good, it tasted fresh. 4* - As far as chain pizzerias go, this place was pretty good, I do think the prices are a little expensive if you do not have any promotional offers though, but I managed to save a good chunk on my meal being a Pizza Express Gold loyalty member, which allows you to obtain multiple offers including a free dolcetti and dough balls.

Pizza Express seems to have a restaurant on every corner these days. In the last 5 or 6 years I…read morehave seen at least half a dozen new outlets appear in and around where I live. But I won't complain, this is a great little chain and they serve freshly baked pizzas that taste great. Their Cheshire Oaks branch has a lovely atmosphere and an outdoor dining area for sunny days! They serve a range of pizza and pasta dishes, as well as their legendary garlic dough balls with delicious garlic mayonnaise dip. I would recommend these as a starter and their spicy pizza as a main. I would also recommend washing all this down with a large bottle of Peroni, the chains signature beer! The food isn't too pricey, the waiter service is great and the indoor restaurant has a nice vibe to it! Great for a light lunch any day of the week!

They have so many offers it's unreal including the family feast for £12.50, plus if you spend over a tenner you get a free cheesy garlic bread, also spend over £25 and you'll get a large pizza with 3 toppings. Students 10% off with NUS card. The menu is more varied than you would expect from a pizza place with pizza, burgers, kebabs, southern fried chicken, pastas, salads and jacket potatoes. Not bad eh? Everything else about the place is pretty average with free delivery offered when order of £7.

The Pizza Parlour is really a small restaurant that offers pizza and pasta in a more refined, but still casual, environment than many of us are used to unless going to Pizza Express. The Pizza Parlour is just as tasty as Pizza Express but not nearly as dear with it super size pizza - enough for three - only setting you back £11 for most toppings. There is also beer and wine which makes it some like more grown up experience but all of this can delivered if you still want to slob about in your pyjamas. Even though I do like a Domino's, you can still taste the difference here as the pizzas taste fresher and have a real home-made quality to them.
