Hogarth's, Bolton

Massive Smith & Jones pub converted from a Varsity bar. There are two levels inside and a large garden patio at the rear and a decent sized area at the front as well. Nicely decorated in an upmarket JDW kind of style with similar menus. It was pretty quiet when I called at around 6:30 on a Friday evening and I would have expected to see more of the after work crowd in. 4 handpumps on the bar with 3 on serving Thwaites Wainwright, Black Sheep Bitter & Bombardier. So not the most inventive of cask line ups, but the Wainwright was a well kept pint and a £2.10 was a bit of a bargain. I'll call in for another look next time I'm in Bolton.
