Delighted to get a round/oval table for the 6 of us. The restaurant was very busy and the service a little slower than usual but we were not rushing! The food as ever was delicious and the staff friendly and helpful. All the Christmas decorations looked so nice and there was as a lovely atmosphere throughout the hotel.

Visited on a Sunday for a special occasion with family. Food was mostly good (quality of chips could be improved), service was attentive (although there were few diners while we were there) The set menu is good value. Choice of quality white wines is lacking.

A traditional charming country family run pub with open fires, cask ales and homecooked food in the heart of Lancashire on the foot of Darwen Moors and at the top of Roddlesworth woods. Ideal for short or long walks of any level.

Busy as usual on a Sunday with locals and walkers. Dog friendly pub. Beer and cider were okay, nothing special. Although we didnât eat, the food looked really good! Cramped bar though and annoying to try and order a drink without being asked to move Thanks for your comment and duly noted regarding the space we have We are in the process of looking at various options and ideas for more space as we do recognise due to the age of the building and layout we are some what limited and at times it does become a little crampedWatch this space over the coming months when we finalise our plansThe food is all locally sourced wherever possible and we try to produce home cooked pub food that offers great valueHope to see you again soon

The portions are huge and I think they should offer fries instead of the chunky chips- theyâre not as popular. I like the atmosphere in the pub and the food is hearty, fresh and tasty. Excellent range of wines and some really good deals. We always like to take a dessert home with us.Overall: 4/5 is a fair rating. For 5/5 I would like to see better training for waiting staff and a little more attention to detail. Itâs a gorgeous spot.

Heard so much about this cosy, friendly local pub that is tucked away from the town centre. Had lunch on our 1st visit. Cannot fault anything. The welcome when you arrive is very warm and friendly, just like the setting of the pub/restaurant. The food was excellent, nice and hot with generous portions. I had the streak and ale pie, beautiful big chunks of steak, and my wife had the mushroom and pepper stroganoff with 50/50 chips and rice. Many thanks to all the staff, will be returning soon.

After all the reviews on here was expecting much better. Visited on a Monday lunch with friends. Average sandwiches, very expensive for two pieces of bread and a filling. Music too loud. Draught coming from open door to outside eating area. Service quite slow

Have noticed this cafe driving past for a while and kept meaning to visit. Today I called in and was amazed at how good the food is. Cafe is very clean and smart with a varied healthy menu. The Budha boxes looked very good and were very popular. I had the smashed avacado on sourdough toast with poached egg, bacon and mushrooms. It was very tasty and was well presented. The coffee is also very good here. There is something on the menu for everyone here and the prices are very reasonable. Service is also good with very pleasant staff. Will be visiting regularly in future.Thanks very Much Mike! We will look forward to your next visit.
