Welcome to Sokrates Greek Tavernas

Sokrates Tavernas (Horwich Bolton and Sale Cheshire) are dedicated to providing a high standard of cuisine from Greece, Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean. The atmosphere of the tavernas is light, easy going and people can relax and enjoy the wonderful flavours of Mediterranean cooking. The best fresh ingredients are used to cook our meals which are prepared in the authentic and traditional manner of the regions they originate from.

Xmas bookings (Horwich, Sale) and Live music nights in December (Horwich). Click here for more information.

The focal point of the menus is the ‘Meze – Greek Banquet’ which is always the most popular choice. This is a selection of little ‘bites’ and dishes from the menu (more than twenty) so in way you get to try a bit of everything by picking for a couple of hours with some good wine. It’s a wonderful and very sociable way of eating. The Meze can also be tailored for vegetarians.

Alternatively, there is a wide selection of Appetizers and Main Courses in our A’ la Carte menu. Dishes like the popular Mousaka, Dolmathes (stuffed vine leaves), Kleftiko (lamb in the oven), Stifado (beef casserole) and King Prawns Saganaki (with ouzo, tomato and feta cheese) to mention but a few. In addition, there are some
wonderful and succulent kebabs cooked on real charcoal.

Check the individual menus of the two restaurants (Horwich and Sale) as there are some differences between them.

There is an extensive wine list with a fantastic selection of red, white and rose wines from Greece and Cyprus which contains some real gems. There are some great wines that are produced in the regions and wine lovers will be pleasantly rewarded.

To finish off we some wonderful home made desserts like Baklava (filo pastry with walnuts and almonds), our extremely popular Greek Yogurt Cheesecake, a selection of Fruit compotes such as Baby Figs in Red Wine, Chilled Greek Rice Pudding and lots more.

We hope that we can provide our customers with a little bit of the southern Mediterranean essence right here in the north of England.
