Bowling Green

Drove from Horwich because it had a kids play area, which to be fair wasn't too bad. But the food.... Wow it was bad. I paid over £15 for a burger that was dryer than the Sahara with what looked like Aldi fries. My daughter had the cheese pie which tasted more like mash than cheese. Really disappointed.

Lovely carvery! All fresh and hot, will be returning

Came here on my wife's birthday as she was really looking forward to a good carvery and we heard this place was good. Upon arrival we are told that they have no beef or turkey so if you want the carvery it's gammon or nothing. Not much of a carvery then is it. So disappointed, won't be coming back.

Bit disappointed with the carvery the meat was very nicely cooked, however the vegetables were overcooked and soggy.

We regularly go here for carvery but it’s not as good as once was. Meat portions have gone smaller and poorer quality. The roast potatoes are awful and today’s mash was wet, sloppy and tasteless. The front of house staff have all changed and the bar staff who served me today seemed to see me as an inconvenience to their chatting. The whole place was much quieter than usual as well. Things need to improve.

We were on our way into Chorley after a busy day and we're looking forward to dinner. We drove past the Bowling Green and decided to turn around and go back to it. Best decision ever! The food is excellent, the choice and quality of meats - turkey, beef and ham were all cooked to perfection. Vegetables were varied and also first rate. Would've loved to try dessert but had no room. Great value for money. We will certainly be back. Parking: Plenty of parking, well maintained and flat surface into the building for wheelchairs.

Visited evening 21st March, very quiet. Was very impressed with decor as it’s been a few years since I last visited. My food was really nice in fact everyone’s was , didn’t see anyone have anything from the carvery. The service was disappointing, maybe due to there only being a couple of staff. We ordered a main and a dessert but had to go to the bar to ask for our pud to be brought out. As my friend approached the bar the staff member initially turned away from us even though there was no one else at the bar. We also saw other customers waiting to be served at the bar. Overall we had a lovely evening and enjoyed our food. I would visit again but it wouldn’t be on my go to list.

Great carvery and friendly staff Parking: Two car parks Kid-friendliness: Indoor and outdoor play area
