I booked our table online, which was really easy. Having pre studied the extensive menu, we were looking forward to having lunch here. Firstly, we were directed /pointed to the wrong table, a table that appeared to seat 6 and there was only two of us, then one of the waitresses approached and said ‘’I’ve been asked to move you to another table, your on the wrong one’’. Once again, we were pointed to another table. It was some time after seating that we were asked if we wanted a drink, there was no wine menu given or on the table. We decided to have the ‘two courses’ lunch deal. The soup was lovely and decent sized portion. The sausage roll starter was nice, but the second one was a little dry, but again, a decent sized portion. Now for the mains….. I had the minute steak with fries and peppercorn sauce……it was very underwhelming! The portion size was very small and the meat, sauce and fries looked slopped on the large plate looking a little lost. There was absolutely no presentation went into serving and looked like something you would be served at a work canteen. The smashed cheese burger with fries, again, very underwhelming……tasted ok, but was mainly brioche bun and several fries. Again, no presentation. Due to the small portion size, I had room for a dessert……which was nice, but didn’t taste as described, and the apple chunks in the crumble were a little hard in parts and under cooked. The service was a little slow, and one waitress came across quite rude on more than one occasion, slamming the wine menu down in front of me after I had to ask for it. Now for the bill….. and it wasn’t cheap, especially for the quality of the food we received. Then there was an option to add a tip…10%, 20%, 25%….. which had the food been worthwhile and service good and friendly, I would gladly give…… but it wasn’t…… and despite not selecting a tip, it added 10% on anyway, which I don’t feel is fair! All in all, I wouldn’t say never again, but sadly, I won’t be in a rush to return any time soon.

Absolutely brilliant as usual Food excellent Service fantastic

Amazing vibe, food and service. Our first time here and we loved it. Can’t wait to return.

Family meal 6 of us, absolutely gorgeous food starters and main courses were beautiful. Staff are lovely can't fault this place at all. Can't wait to go again soon

Excellent service fabulous food and a lovely pub Higher recommend

One of my favourite places to eat in Rossendale. Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff and great food. Holds a special place in my heart as I used to go with my Mum. I would definitely recommend to book first.

Great food, lovely setting and great value for money. Service a little slow at times felt along wait from mains finishing/ being cleared to being offered dessert menu.

A very enjoyable meal for two in a welcoming venue. Booked online - so easy! It is a shame that you only serve Pepsi. It is not the same as Coke and you should serve both to satisfy your customers. Nobody asks for Bacardi and Pepsi, they ask for Bacardi and Coke!

I booked online which was very straightforward . Staff were friendly and we were seated quickly at our table . The food was lovely, lots of choice on the menu and a great specials menu too . It was quite busy for a Sunday evening and our food did take a little while to arrive but, we were busy chatting so it didn’t matter too much, we will definitely be back .

We have been here 5 times now, the food is delicious, the steak and Stilton pie is really tasty, so is the sausage and black pudding sausage roll, in fact everything else we have had. I wish they did smaller potions the staff are very friendly.

Food is always nice here, disappointed to find out the share boards have been removed from the menu, myself and my friend would attend regularly for lunch to have 1 of these! Scored a little lower on service as I think cutlery and condiments should be put out as soon as the order is taken, rather than the food coming out and having to then ask for them, other than that all good

Honestly the best meal me and my husband has ever had. The food is delicious and high quality. The staff are lovely and the manager is so welcoming a friendly. Beautiful building and atmosphere also.

Great food especially the Cod absolutely delicious Thank you Thomas cooked to perfection

Extremely busy lunchtime, two large groups, the staff were amazing . I do enjoy lunch here. We had the new lunchtime menu. 2 or 3 courses excellent value. we had sausage & mash, it just needed a bread roll to mop up the awesome onion gravy. And a sweet after. Lovely place to meet up with friends, lovely staff.

Good is amazing with very extensive and varied choices. Dishes are well prepared and presented

Had a fantastic meal Sunday evening. Very interesting menu, superbly cooked and presented food, very attentive and efficient staff.
