Excellent lunch. 👍 My first proper night out with my first wife after we’d been married a week. Walked there from our house in Adlington. It was the go to place back then. Lots of Bolton players frequented it. Last went in between lockdown periods and a favourite stop off on a ride out on my scooter (1962 LI 125)😊 Glad it’s still going strong.

Hectic retirement lifestyle restricts my ride outs but it’ll be out again when I can kick my own arse to get out again.👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Talking to my mum today and referred to this thread. My 60th in January so doing a meal/piss up in Manc for all those over here but want to take her out in Bolton as she will be close to 87 by then so it won’t be her thing . Looking at maybe Cherry Tree, Yew Tree, Ewe. Her mobility is now really shite. She relies on her wheeled zimmer frame thing. Are they all good for access for that? She can’t cope with any sort of slope/gradient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted August 27, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2023 Went to the Yew Tree a few weeks back and couldn’t finish my chips as the steak I had was huge. They put the remaining chips in a little jar for me to take home and warm up. Which was a nice touch. Food is superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was on a par - they do a home made individual cottage pie that would feed two for about 16 quid. I had a rack of lamb for about 22 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It think these days the amount restaurants charge for drinks is a piss take, especially soft drinks like coke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Alf Hartigan Posted August 29, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted August 29, 2023 Went to Cherry Tree a couple of months ago. Single course £38 for a steak main meal, but didn't rate it. Not been to Ewe yet, heard mixed reviews. Expensive doesn't always mean better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember going as a kid In the 80s, when eating out was a treat, and being informed it had a good reputation. I just remember my dad having a T-Bone steak that was huge, probably cost about £3.
