This 19th-century pub is a charming spot for a pint or a meal, with its rustic-chic interior featuring exposed beams, wooden floors, and roaring log fires. The menu boasts an array of traditional British dishes, including hearty burgers, sandwiches, and salads, as well as an impressive selection of real ales and craft beers. The pub's picturesque surroundings, nestled in the heart of the Ribble Valley, offer scenic views and walking trails to explore.
Nice pub restaurant with friendly helpful staff. Catered for our large party (11) without deposits or preorder. Have a great evening with a good selection of food and drink including a decent wine selection. Staff were all friendly, warm and welcoming. Can find anything to fault for the price, good value for money.
My party of 4 enjoyed our Saturday lunch. Each of us tried a different main meal. Cheese & Onion Pie, Fish Pie, Steak & Kidney pudding and one off the special menu, Bream. Each of the meals was perfect and just enough to be able to squeeze in a lovely dessert too. Lemon panna cotta, banofee pie, sticky toffee pudding & the sundae. The only downside during lunch were the two files that thought they would join us for our meal. The staff were super lovely and very helpful. Maybe some citronella candles might help during the warm days. They didn't put us off the lovely afternoon, and we weren't hurried at all. Lovely homely place, plenty of parking. Thank you for a lovely lunch.
En route home from a day out . Had not been here for a few years but as we were passing my wife and I decided to stop for our evening meal. We both decided for a main and I chose the Fish , Chips and Peas whilst my wife went for the Steak Pudding . As soon as my meal was put in front of me all I could smell was cooking oil . The batter on the fish was a very dark colour . As I cut into the fish the oil oozed out and soon covered the plate. I had already pushed the chips to one side . I knew at this point I should have raised the matter with the staff but me being me I put on extra salt and dipped into the tartare sauce plus mushy peas. The fish - haddock - just tasted of the oil that it was cooked in which was soaked into the batter. It should have been allowed to drain out before being plated up . My wife said the filling in the steak pudding was nice but it was not a suet pastry pudding , just flour and water casing . As regards the chips , just mediocre tasting by at least not dripping in oil.
I'm not messing about here. This was seriously nice. Staff are really really nice and mega helpful. But that fish and chips I had today was phenomenal. The fish is exactly how I love it to be. If I was being picky about anything the chips could be better. Now they seemed like proper chips but they just seemed too dry. I don't know why that was and I don't really want to speculate. But it was like they was warmed up after being cooked. I could be wrong but I eat a lot of chips and something wasn't doing those chips justice. This however will not stop me going back here for that fish or to try the other menu items. I'm still going 5 stars because I genuinely enjoyed my whole experience. Just a couple of notes about the place. It was very clean , very nice and traditional inside. Dogs seemed to be welcome at the bar area at least. And parking had 3 disabled parking spaces.
It's been several years since I last visited the pub. We met friends for lunch. A very pleasant atmosphere, a good selection of lager and draught beers. We each ordered a different main course. To be honest, I would have been very happy with any of them ! Looked good, tasted delicious. The decoration inside the pub was contemporary and tasteful. (Lovely wallpaper in the ladies' toilets, too !)
After a long walk called in for a drink - menu looked so good we decided to stay and eat . Unfortunately our table was reserved but staff were so polite in telling us and found us another table . Food was lovely and service / staff were great. Definitely worth staying for !! And definitely will go back
