Where to take my nana for lunch?

[Traf]

Help needed.

My nan is 101 this week and I'd like to take her out for lunch relatively close to Farnworth/Bolton.
Any recommendations?

Plenty of good eateries mate. Lunch time occasion with Nan I’d go retreat.

If you are driving, just pop down the A6 for 10 mins to Blackrod at The Cherry Tree.

Heard others talk about it and not tried it till recently. 

It’s absolutely fantastic. The food, the setting, the staff, the hospitality - it really is a proper treat, she’ll feel a million dollars there.

Or RHS. It’s free on a Tuesday for those with a Manc postcode which I’m sure me or LH could provide for you 

[Traf]

Cheers, chaps. Plenty to go at there.

You're not wrong, she loves that kind of thing.
A potter around the garden centre followed by afternoon tea.

Can't be a bad pastime if she's made it to 101. Happy Birthday Nana Traf!

I think the other obvious choice for lunch in Bolton  is Cafe Italia on Chorley Old Road.The posh ones in my family prefer there to the Retreat

Yeah, @Pablo suggested Cafe Italia too, thanks.

Always had a nice lunchtime meal at Ciao Napoli on Mawdsley Street.

Is that the place that used to be the Jehovas Witness place? Johnny Fow roundabout? Passed there today and said to the Mrs we still hadn't been.

Cafe Italia is nice. 

I'd personally go cherry tree or ewe though. 

Though if she's 101 she won't give a fuck where she's at and just be happy to out! 

Be reet!

Spot on. To be fair, she's happy with a cup of tea, a butty and some cake.

I'm taking her for lunch on Wednesday, because I'm swerving the weekend family meal/get-together.

Retreat is decent, but is more style and pomp over quality….i think Cherry Tree is better, but also a bit over-rated….my lad works their too.

Tipico in H-Town is better than both of them for steaks.

Cafe Italian beats them all for me….value, quality and all round how relaxing and down to earth the place is…wins hands down. Take my mum quite often, and every time it hits.

Yes its Amazing there 

went Friday 

just in a strange place

Being taken out by family out trumps where they eat. Nans would love nothing more than simple food with kin. Curleys Dinning Rooms tick all the nan boxes. Money isn't everything.

[Gonk]

Luciano's at Middlebrook, or Curleys

[jeep]

Rice n 3, innit......

Had a chat with her, she chose Bradley Fold Garden Centre of all places, because apparently "they do a lovely afternoon tea"

And indeed they did. And at £10/head, my pocket loved her choice 😉
