Reviews in Blackburn

Enjoyed meals here on several occasions with friends where service and value for money have always been great. Most recently enjoyed a meal with family and grandchildren. All enjoyed meals and conversation with staff. Kids also met the pub cat which was very welcoming.

Another excellent visit. Mark and team offers a great choice of menu along with a few specials to. Fresh tasty ingredients. Chippy tea on a Friday well worth the £s. My favourite scallops and the myshroom starters. See you again soon.

This is a very friendly and welcoming village pub/restaurant! Food is excellent, especially the Sunday roasts. I love the warm atmosphere and vibe.

Lovely food and excellent service!

Food is fantastic, staff are really friendly and helpful and proud of the service they provide, they were more than willing to clarify my questions about the suitability of my choice for a Celiac, gluten free options were really good finished of with a gluten free peach cobbler for pudding, thank you we will definitely be back.

The Food at the Dog Inn is always fresh and cooked to order. Always plentiful and the staff are super friendly. I have never had a bad meal here and the meals are very reasonably priced. Long may it last! Thanks

We had a lovely meal at the Dog, I had the steak pie and my wife had the Chicken supreme with fresh vegetables and chips. It’s in a lovely setting overlooking the valley and the staff were very nice and attentive. The only criticism we have is that the music whilst being proper music, unlike some places we have been to that have that horrible electronic music. Which for us was just a little too loud for our liking.

Friendly welcoming pub. Excellent service and good food. Definitely return...thank you...

As usual food and service brilliant. Can’t fault it

Popped in for a meal, absolutely lovely food and amazing staff. We're not from the area but will be back

Lovely village pub, the staff were fantastic the food was great and value for money had some excellent beers good outdoor space would recommend a visit

This is the 2nd time that myself and a group of friends have visited in the past couple of months. The food, hospitality and service has been excellent. We attended on quiz night and it was a great laugh. We are planning our next visit. Would highly recommend.

Where do I start? I've been a regular to the Dog Inn , but what a difference. From 3 months ago. Just WOW I came for lunch with my 11 year old during the school summer holiday. Service 10/10 from the minute we walked in to the getting back in the car. We were looked after without being intruded upon, checked on for drink refills, food orders and food satisfaction, lovely, friendly and professional front of house and waiting on staff, little extras that make a difference from pub grub lunch to lunch at a destination . The customers varied from ladies who lunch, to friends getting together, couples taking time out, to mother and daughter quality time. Food 10/10 She ordered the chicken tenders with chips but didn't want vegetables. She was offered salad , she opted for, without tomatoes which was accommodated with no fuss. The chicken, was real chicken non of your cheap reformed rubbish. Considering that Kids Eat for Free during summer holidays, that's brilliant, tbh even at £6.00 it's a brilliant price, cheaper than a fast food outlet and so much better quality and nutritional value. I had the salad from the socials board, although my personal opinion is that it should make the regular menu. Chargrilled peach with burrata cheese. The flavours, textures, presentation, portion size, just delicious, I could happily eat this every day. Daughter wanted ice cream, this came with added strawberries and was 2 generous scoops. Even the chefs checked we were happy when I paid the bill. Including drinks this came in at around £25 which I think is extremely good value for money. Atmosphere 10/10 Music quietly playing in the background, chatter and laughter, the clink of glasses and the gentle chink of cutlery being placed back on a now empty plate. Friendly, welcoming, unobtrusive and a view to sit back and gaze at.

We have always enjoyed and will continue to enjoy the traders. Staff are always attentive and friendly and service is always with a smile. However our meal last night was barely warm when it arrived, we didn’t kick up a fuss and ate it, if this had been our first visit then it would have put me off returning. I suppose even the best can’t get 10/10 every time.

We visit the Traders Arms regularly as we live close by. It is a wonderful pub with a great atmosphere and my husband thinks it is the best serve of Thwaites Original beer anywhere! We visited yesterday for Sunday lunch and it was absolute fantastic! Beef was cooked perfectly and had all the trimmings, delicious. Fantastic value The Traders is a brilliant pub and would recommend anyone looking for a traditional pub with a friendly atmosphere and wonderful food to give it a try 10/10!

Great meal. Lovely atmosphere. Staff are very helpful.

Great food and service in a fantastic restaurant with superb views across to the west coast. Will definitely return.

Delighted with our meal at The Dog. Great food at a reasonable price. We at outside overlooking Darwen Tower and the views were suprtb. The highlight of our visit was the young lady who served us! She was brilliant: kind, helpful, efficient and friendlt. A real jewel in the crown. Best wishes JIM
