Closed down Bolton restaurants that locals wish were still open

Towns and cities across the UK change over the years but it can be upsetting when our favourite restaurants and shops leave the high street.

Bolton has seen a variety of restaurants come and go with some locals wishing they could still visit their favourites for a bite to eat.

To find out which ones they miss the most, we asked Bolton News readers which restaurants they wish were still open in Bolton.

Let’s take a look at what they commented on our Facebook post.
