About The Traders Arms

You will find The Traders Arms in a lovely rural location on the hill in Mellor, between Blackburn and Preston. The old stone building has had a modern refurb and a new management team took over this Thwaites pub in April 2022. Home-made pub grub is served every day at lunch and dinner with main courses such as Fish & Chips, Gourmet Burger, Gammon Steak and Chicken & Black Pudding Melt. There is also a Pizza Menu with nine different pizzas to choose from as well as garlic breads.  The Traders Arms has outside seating front and back, a quiz night every Wednesday and regular live entertainment too.

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!

Its been a while since we last ate here, and weren't disappointed. Good value lunch menu and the service is excellent. Its usually a bit of a wait for the food, but its all cooked fresh so worth the wait.

As always our meal at the Traders was lovely. The pub was vibrant and very welcoming. The girl who took our order was training so had the manager shadowing her, what a lovely polite girl she was.
David Snazell
Another excellent meal at The Traders Arms. Brilliant friendly service from the waitress - I hope she enjoys her holiday in Malta! Food was excellent as always, very tasty ribs, no fat or gristle, chicken souvlaki was gorgeous, chicken crispy on the outside and moist inside, mother in-laws fish n chips were lovely too she said. Chocolate mousse and the ice cream sundae were great. As always, lovely food, lovely staff and empty plates afterwards!
David Winter
We had 3 different main meals all excellent. Service was quick even though it was busy. Both our waitresses were very attentive, polite and knew the menu. Definitely becoming one of our favourites.
