The food was delicious. We just feel our meal was rushed. So once we had eaten, we left. Had we felt more 'taken care of' we'd have stayed and had desert. A shame really. It was very different to our first visit.

First time at Sokrates Taverna and we had the meze which seemed a great way to trial the different types of food on offer. It was busy as you would expect for a Saturday night but many tables were enjoying the meze which you would assume would make things run smoothly and at a nice pace however, we didn't find that to be the case. When our meze began we suddenly got five dishes in one go and on a small table for two it was a little cramped! Luckily this slowed down but became the opposite when we waited quite sometime to be given dishes. The food was AMAZING and delicious but no one person seemed to be serving our table and so this led to what seemed slow service and confusion as to what we had or hadn't been given (looking at the menu on return home we 'missed' a couple of dishes) - even we became confused! At the end of our meal we wanted dessert and we watched two large group tables be asked and served dessert and coffee before we were even able to grab a member of staff to ask for a dessert menu. It took us 25 minutes and for such a small place this is saying something! Honestly, the food was worth going to the restaurant and may be we just picked a particularly chaotic night for service. The food was good enough we would consider trying again....fingers crossed the service and chaotic serving style was just a one off!

Fantastic communication from reservation to dining. Staff team all friendly and welcoming. Warm reception. Professional and friendly wait team. Helped with allergy information and were able to cater for dietary needs. Very comfortable yet opulent surroundings great environment relaxed yet full tables. Clearly a popular restaraunt. Menu catered for all tastes Greek. Reasonably priced and good value and quality meals and appetisers. Chefs thank you for the quality, flavoursome and enjoyable meals you prepared and cooked. Drinks menu again varied with traditional beverages on offer. Was able to pay with ease and on leavingthe restaraunt we were given a warm good bye from majority of the staff team. Definitely recommend Sokrates Greek Taverna @ Horwich Look forward to visiting again.

This was our second visit and we took some friends. We sampled the meatballs, souvlakia and kleftiko for starters and our main courses. Typical greek restaurant the food didn't arrive at the same time but it was hot and delicious. Would definitely recommend Sokrates for a traditional greek night out

Upon arrival, we were shown to our table which was situated in a small area, separate from the rest of the restaurant, adjacent to the ladies' toilets. When we complained, we were offered an alternative which was acceptable however, we had to move our own cutlery, serviette and drinks. The Mythos was warm. Apart from these factors, our meal was enjoyable.

This was our first time at Socrates and we visit some excellent Greek restaurants quite regular so it had a lot to live up to. The food was good and the staff friendly, the decor is very dated with a blend of odd colours, however this strangely gives it the feel of a traditional Greek taverna so don't let that put you off. For a Saturday night I would have liked a bit more atmosphere so will maybe try on the Thursday night once a months with live music & dancing. In any case we will definitely visit Socrates again.

Brilliant food and great service. Well worth a visit. Great atmosphere. Parking easy. Greek meze is the best choice. Multiple dished served after just the right amount of time between courses. Greek music nights on the last Thursday in each month. Will go again
