Food was amazing and could not fault it, however, the service was very poor. We had to ask to order our food, ask for drinks to be ordered, having booked 2 days prior i wouldn't have expected this. That said we would return.

Food excellent and staff friendly. The only downside is the decor and the fact that we were put next to the gents toilets. Needs an overhaul, very dated.

We didn't eat there in the end. We arrived early and they weren't open. The staff were out at the back. We made ourselves known to them and they said they would open up shortly. We waited a bit longer and the door was still locked so we decided to go elsewhere.

the food and service was excellent, but quite surprised that this is the first restaurant that I've been to in a long time that charges for a glass of soda water with a meal. £2.50 a glass. Its free in every other restaurant that I've been to. I can understand being charged if I didn't order anything else.

Fantastic food and amazing customer service. The waitress went above and beyond in helping my 4 year old nephew stay settled throughout the meal. It’s hard to keep a young child entertained at a restaurant, but she was incredible. So attentive and made him feel really special. The whole family enjoyed their first experience at Sokrates and we’ll definitely be coming back.

Great food with excellent service. Loved it. A little Greek gem in Horwich. Meze was served at a steady pace with all food steaming hot. Staff advised on which dish went with each dip which was a nice touch.

This is a traditional - no frills Greek family run Taverna. They keep it simple and do it well. You know what to expect and over the years we have always good meals.

First time we had visited Sokrates in Horwich. Had the mezze, which was great & generous portions. Friendly staff too. We all agreed that we would go back. If I had one very minor criticism (and I mean 'tiny'), it would be that the house white is not very good (and it's the only wine you can order by the glass). All in all, lovely evening. Would definitely recommend.

Went on a Friday night at 8pm, wasn't too busy and we were immediately greeted at the door and shown to our table. We both got the mezze menu and it was delicious and very filling, service was great too and the price is very reasonable. We will be back again soon!
