Site Supporter Spider Posted October 1, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2021 Sokrates or Viva Espana il toro is ok but the food tends to be underwhelming Rocco’s Italian next to the Crown is superb food. He posts anvideo every Friday of him buying his meat and fish, which is always top notch. Had the sea bass last week and it was as good as any I’ve ever had.

It’s Italian for “a video” My phone is one of those wacky American/Chinese things that will autocorrect “fucking” with “ducking” yet will ignore a rushed grammatical error when it knows such things make my shit itch.

MancWanderer Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 Was hoping for a recommendation like @bolton_blondie’s but I’m a massive sucker for sea bass done well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieb Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 11 minutes ago, bolton_blondie said: Victoria and Albert was.... Interesting It's always a highlight in there for me. It's the crossover pub that everyone can get on with. It's above Sam's (I assume) and the saddle) The folk who drink in the ale places don't mind it And the cocktail lot can also get by for one round. It's a proper Melting pot.

Interesting I went in the other week and so far as I can tell, there’s more fingering gets done in there than at a police line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigtoe Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Horwich restaurants haven't changed for years. Maybe it's the hipster in me trying to get out but there's nothing new and interesting anymore. I'd pick Sokrates, Spice Valley, Lucianos (though its out of the way). We did go to Roccos the other week. Mains were good. Wouldn't bother with starters. Had the braised Ox cheek as a main. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonk Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Rocco's always seems a bit disorganised and it's the owner getting in the way that is usually the cause Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
