'It's a kick in the teeth' - Pub owners gutted after second break-in in 6 months
The management of a town centre pub has described being broken into as a "kick in the teeth". Dave Golden was excited for another day at The Blarney Stone in Bolton on Sunday, August 3, but was in for a rude awakening. When he arrived at the Bradshawgate pub at around noon, he found that it had been broken into, with cash, an iPad used for the till, and numerous bottles of spirits having been taken. This is not the first time this has happened, with the pub also having been burgled earlier this year, when spirits and electronics were taken. The pub, which had previously been Prince Billy's, only reopened in late February this year. Speaking to The Bolton News, Dave said: "It was on Sunday morning, I came in at around noon and realised that we had been broken into. "It is a proper kick in the teeth, especially when we see ourselves moving in the right direction.

"I came in all excited for the day and then that happened. But you just have to keep going." As well as replacing the iPad and spirits, the pub has also had to call out workmen to repair it and make it more secure. Dave added: "That Sunday afternoon we couldn't open up until later, we did open at 4pm but had to buy an iPad, all new spirits and we had to get some float in. "Although it is disappointing, we will be back up and running again, we will keep fighting and keep moving. "In general we feel incredibly welcomed to Bolton by everyone." The Blarney Stone is the only Irish pub in Bolton.

The Bolton restaurant serving lobster tail out of a very unique item
A town centre restaurant has become an internet sensation after unveiling its lobster tail served on an unusual item. Eat Meat, in Bradshawgate, captured millions of viewers on social media site, TikTok, recently after showing a lobster tail served in a book. The video depicts a member of staff presenting what appears to be a book to the camera. And then, in a moment of magic, the 'book' is set alight, burning away the cover to show a freshly-cooked lobster tail inside. I tested Aldi's new 'wine of the summer' and almost lost all my street cred Dad who 'ruled family like a medieval baron' strangled daughter-in-law to death Is Sky still down? Users continue to report outages on TV and internet "It's all our creative director in Manchester's idea, as we've got a branch there," Adam Ahmad, who works at the Bradshawgate premises, said. The 'book' before the lobster is revealed (Image: EATMEAT) "It's not the first time that we've been innovative with our food." In the past, Adam says a "money fajita" which was a fajita served in a mock cash machine, and steak served in a golden briefcase, are previous examples of the restaurant chain's creativity. Adam added: "It's been a success [the lobster tail]. The lobster is revealed! (Image: EATMEAT) "The video has been seen by a lot of people, and we always look to use TikTok for our marketing, especially when it's a unique dish that we know is going to be popular because it's a bit different." But what does this seafood oddity taste like? Adam reported that it tastes "very nice" and that the lobster is brought in daily, served with a 'bang bang' sauce. The video of the dish in question is approaching one million views and counting at the moment, with more than 15,000 likes. East Meat opened in Bradshawgate in December, with an extensive menu of steaks imported from Uruguay, Argentina and Japan. Menu items are priced from £20 to more than £130 for premium wagyu, while it also serves seafood, chicken wings and bao buns.
