I go here once a month for The Bowling Green Writers' Group and it is awesome. They have alcohol-free lager on tap, the food is incredible, and the staff are lovely, especially the tall barman in the evenings who goes above and beyond for every customer. There's a great atmosphere and they do live music on Saturdays. Highly recommended as a relaxed, friendly pub. It also has a stunning beer garden!

Excellent food and service. We have never been to the Bowling Green for food before but went on a friend's recommendation. We weren't disappointed. Served by lovely, friendly staff who really looked after us. We will be going back. Thank you

This place never fails. From the attentive staff to the delicious fresh home made food. It's always consistent which is a very rare thing. Last night we enjoyed wonderful Italian style tapas which is generously portioned and absolutely fabulous. They cater for all dietary requirements and are really accommodating. Loads of choice for Gluten Free which is unusual. It's by far the best place to eat in Northwich

Lovely food and chance to sit in the beer garden in the sun and eat outside. Service was good. The tapas menu is amazing and such great value - 3 dishes for 14.95. Very large portions!

Have been coming to the bowling green for some time now and have always received top tier service. The landlord Tim is just lovely. Very passionate about the running and service they provide. Staff behind the bar (to and Ollie especially) are always courteous and very polite. The food is just phenomenal and always prepared with a great deal of attention. Would totally recommend. You will not be disappointed.

Found ourselves stranded with a flat tyre today and headed to the Bowling Green from Kwikfit with our two dogs - the staff were very accommodating and friendly, the beer garden is large and very pleasant and the food was lovely. Prices reasonable. What a fantastic find - made our day!
First visit to the Bowling Green with Family, recommended by a friend. First impressions are, a warm lovely little pub with friendly staff. We had a party of 9 and everyone except myself had a Sunday roast ( Fish&Chips for me ). The food came and the first thing I noticed was the size of the Yorkshire puddings (Massive). Everyone's food came piping hot . My fish and chips were very nice I enjoyed every bit, again came out piping hot. From the very start the staff were excellent accommodating us all with drinks nothing was any trouble and they were busy on this day being Mothers Day. Everyone really enjoyed the roast dinners, all came with plenty of veg and also cauliflower cheese and jugs of gravy everyone had a big plate full. I will definitely be returning in the near future. The food and service are both exceptional and the chef in my opinion is very talented and a credit to the Bowling Green.
