A Ramsbottom bar and restaurant celebrating six years in business has thanked customers by throwing a party. 

Holcombe Tap on Bolton Road West hosted the event with free 'walk-around, food from their menu and live music from acoustic artist Connor Peploe.  

Co-owner Will Gallie said: “We do this every year as a thank you for our customers and staff. We wouldn’t be here without them.”

Will runs the bar and restaurant, which serves seasonal small plates using local suppliers, with his dad Bill Gallie and business partner Jack Worsick.

Holcombe Tap won the Leading Casual Restaurant category at the This is Manchester Awards last year.

The Eagle and Child pub on Whalley Road, which Will also co-owns, was shortlisted in the Leading Restaurant Formal category.

He has been involved in the hospitality sector since he was 14 years-old and his dad Bill was a food technology teacher for almost ten years.

The dog-friendly bar regularly gets involved with community events and charities.

For the recent annual Black Pudding Throwing Competition, they sold special Black pudding scotch eggs and have hosted a charity golf day to raise money for The Christie.

Will added: “The bar has developed a lot since we first opened, and we have a strong kitchen team.

“We faced some difficulties during Covid, like most others did, and was unsure of what would happen. We rolled with it and changed our service approach.

“We have a lot more people make bookings for informal dining which is nice. We have a fantastic customer base who we really value.

“It simply would not be possible without them.”
