"having positive experiences with Hong Hu .my two friends and I ,ordered for delivery from the new menu. I ordered from the Ok Dishes section. Which states deep fried in batter as the heading and lists a choice of beef, chicken , prawn ,and pork .so I ordered pork and some chips to go with it we quoted the numbers on the menu. My friends chose crispy beef with egg fried rice and chow mien with three different meats in it . When the order was delivered .there was no receipt so at first hand ,couldn’t confirm what we had ordered we had reckoned the cost and the girl we spoke to confirmed that ,so we gave the delivery man that amount along with delivery cost and a tip on dishing mine out ,I soon realised I had been given king prawn in batter which I loathe. My friend with the chow mien found there was no meat in her noodles. I rang the shop and was told they don’t do pork in batter.when I explained that there ok menu was misleading sh e said sorry .i asked to be delivered something in its place but she said I would have to pay again which I found unreasonable as it was their mistake. I got nowhere and she insisted my friend who placed the order said prawn which we all knew was untrue as we heard her. Very disappointing. The friend with the chow mien was so disappointed she went to the shop and showed how there was no meat in the dish .the girl found the receipt and said she had ordered and been charged just for soft noodles. She fought her corner and said we had given the delivery man the money for the more expensive chow Mien. The shop was full of customers and it was embarrassing but in the end they said they didn’t want her to be disappointed so they gave her the right dish she had ordered . I though, am still disappointed . I think part of the problem was the poor communication .i expected more from you Hong Hu and won’t be using you again"

"Use to go here when I was younger with my mum and gran after a shopping trip into bolton. So decided to go with my husband today while we where in town. I had a hot chocolate which was nice and a Russell’s club sandwich and my husband had the full English. Mine arrived and it was all cold and the ‘chicken and bacon’ on the club sandwich was a cheap sandwich filler slapped onto some toast and served. It was really bland and some of the lettuce on my plate had turned brown. The grated carrot was full of water so there was a puddle left on my plate from that and the really cheap coleslaw they had put on. It really wasn’t very nice and for £6 you would expect the chicken and bacon to be freshly grilled and not a cold cheap sandwich filler. My husbands ‘full’ English was really disappointment the sausages where really cheap and gristly and there wasn’t really much on the plate again the ingredients were really poor and cheap. Their prices are quite high for cheap food. The lady with the blond hair who served us was quite rude and in a rush to put them down and just told us cutlery is over there if you want sauce you’ll have to ask at the counter’ that was it really, they didn’t even say goodby as we left. It was quite a cold reception. I’m Disappointed as I had always gone when previously shopping but this place has gone really downhill and won’t go back as I know there are much better cafes in bolton. I wouldn’t waste your money and would go elsewhere."

"A special Event in a special Restaurant. My Wife and I visited the Holiday Inn near Bolton town centre for a special birthday treat in early June 2016. We had pre booked a table in the superb Hardies Restaurant and on arrival we were quickly shown to our table by the very efficient young lady who looked after us all evening She was very attentive without being obtrusive, Starters were chosen, ordered, and delivered within about 15 minutes. Kathleen’s Pate was a rather generous portion and she declared that it was at least as good as any she had tasted before. My choice was deep fried Goats cheese, this was very authentic and enjoyable. For Mains we finally settled on A Lamb shank for Kath which she said was Amazing, whilst I settled for the superb Cod in batter with chips and peas, a simple traditional dish but beautiful and rather large portion. Desserts took us quite a few minutes to decide on. Kath chose Hot apple pudding with a vanilla sauce. I decided on a fresh fruit salad with ice cream served on a large platter I counted nine different fruits all seasonal and extremely fresh. We both tasted each other’s desserts the apple pudding was also very nice. The waitress offered us cheese and biscuits but quite honestly by this time we were to put it bluntly, stuffed. The verdict was a truly excellent meal, time to retreat to the adjoining bar for a pleasant hours relaxation. To conclude we made the right choice to have our special event at Hardies and we will definitely visit again. Thanks to all concerned."
