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 dined here as we have eaten a good Sunday roast previously at The Trader’s Arms. A rather plain menu ,but with well cooked food . We shared a main course of ribs as a starter .Tasty and plenty for two. Main courses were pepperoni pizza and a steak pie with chips and peas. Again ,plenty of good quality food. We decided to treat ourselves as it was a special anniversary and ordered strawberry trifles. These were disappointing. Hardly any sponge fingers.The jelly was over diluted and the custard seemed tinned! The service was excellent though. Polite, thoughtful and experienced.The general atmosphere is warm and welcoming.

My steak pie was lovely as usual but it seemed much smaller than last time Fine for me but it wouldn't have been enough for my husband especially as the chips were bland and unappetising tonight. He enjoyed his ribs plus fries and salad, said they were the best he'd had but was not impressed with them being served on a wobbly board. Why do chefs still do this? Service was excellent, our waitress was very pleasant and attentive.

As always our food was excellent, no complaints there. However the service was disappointing. There were only two serving drinks and food, their job made more difficult with customers sat outside and coming in and out for drinks. They did their best but were overwhelmed at times.

We came as a party of 4 to celebrate my husband's birthday. We had a great time! The waiting staff were lovely, two very pretty, pleasant young ladies. The food was superb, and the drinks very reasonably priced. Great service rounded off a really nice Sunday lunch, and we will definitely be back.

Very disappointed with our meals and service, something had gone horribly wrong. It took 2 hours to serve mains and a desert. The chips were awful, soggy and tasteless, surely they should be getting chips right! The steak pie was so small for the price and the pastry was soggy, £16.50 for small piece of pie, soggy chips and garden peas is ridiculous. The waitresses were stood around chatting with drinks in their hands. This place has gone downhill since we last visited.

Absolutely brilliant Mothers Day meal. We had the Cotes De Boeuf special which we requested and it was fantastic. Thanks Chef. Kids meals and starters were also great and they went down a treat. Service is spot on as always by Linzi and the team and you always like you are getting great value for money. Thanks everyone for an enjoyable experience.
