Black Horse

You'll find the Black Horse tucked away on Bury Road in Tonge Fold, the kind of place where regulars actually know each other's names. It's run by Craft Union, so expect decent cask ales and a rotating selection of interesting bottles alongside the usual suspects—nothing fancy, just good beer done right. The food is proper pub fare: pies, burgers, that sort of thing. It's got that comfortable, lived-in feel that's becoming rarer round Bolton these days.
