A bar and restaurant in Bolton has been recognised for its quality of food with an award.

The Courthouse Restaurant and Bar on Mawdsley Street won the OpenTable Diner’s Choice Award for 2022.

The award celebrates the top-rated restaurants across the country, based on feedback from diners.

Hurshiv Faldu, operator at the Courthouse, said: “We are thrilled to be recognised as one of the top restaurants in the area, which is down to all the hard work of the team.

“I’m very proud of the offering we have created, and it’s even better to receive this award knowing it has come from our customers. We wanted to create a destination venue where customers would travel to visit and we’ve done exactly that.”

Admiral Taverns, a community pub group that partners with pubs and aims to build strong partnerships with pub owners, owns the Courthouse.

Samantha Banks, operations manager for the North of England at Admiral Taverns, said: “Hurshiv and the team have developed an outstanding offering at the Courthouse and really deserve this award.

“Hurshiv has been at the Courthouse for two and a half years and is passionate about putting something back into his community.”

She added: “I’m delighted they’ve recognised this and would thoroughly recommend a visit to the pub if you are in the area.”

Customers at The Courthouse can enjoy dishes including four different cuts of steaks, burgers, sharing plates, loaded fries, bao buns, salmon and duck dishes.
