The Morris Dancers

Inside The Morris Dancers pub in Bolton, not only can you see a beautiful example of a traditional British pub, but pub manager Michelle Haig has also taken on the pub kitchen to deliver “Michelle’s Menu”, featuring a great range of delicious dishes.Whether you fancy classic pub meals like fish and chips, pie of the day or lasagne, or light bites and nibbles, Michelle’s got something for everyone!

With daily deals, special offers and event catering, it comes as no surprise that customers have given great feedback on the food offerings.

This isn’t Michelle’s first rodeo when it comes to running a food business. She’s previously been the owner of local favourites Michelle’s Tasty Bites and Michelle’s Tasty Treats - so she was already well versed in food hygiene when taking on the pub kitchen.  

Running a food business from a pub kitchen however, has some distinct differences and that’s where Bolton Council’s Business Compliance Support officer, Patrick, was able to help.

“Patrick came to visit the premises and was able to have a look over things with a fresh set of eyes. He gave us advice on health and safety with the cellar and some of the kitchen equipment and made sure that our allergen matrix was right, as well as other things like information on the right type of sanitiser and food cooling. Now we have a really rigid cleaning schedule incorporated into the pubs automated system, which keeps record of everything. He made some suggestions for our menu too, with what to write about allergens.

He also told me about the Thrive With A 5 workshop which I, and all of my team, attended. It was really helpful. Since Patrick first got in touch with me, I’ve emailed him a few times, and he’s answered everything I needed to know. It’s nice to know that he’s a reliable contact at the council and I definitely recommend the service”.
