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.

Excellent Sunday lunch roast. We have had a good meal here previously when visiting Mellor. As we found ourselves in the area again we did not hesitate to book. We had a delicious meal especially of note was the cabbage. All the vegetables were tasty and nicely cooked. We followed our mains with desserts and they were just as tasty. A bonus was the two mains for £34 offer. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. The atmosphere and ambience was good. We would definitely recommend a visit.

First time booking. Cheese Pie was to die for. Portion size was good for lunchtime. Service was great. Reasonable prices for lunch menu. Will certainly be booking again.

Well I really wanted to give a glowing review as I did for the meal we received on Sunday 28th June 2026, but unfortunately I can’t. We had two beef roast dinners as last time, but it was no where near as good. Broccoli was too hard and the cauliflower cheese was hard too and nowhere near as good as last time, the cheese sauce looked n tasted rather gloppy like it had been made from a packet, unfortunately. The meat was also not as good as last time hard to cut. Looked amazing when it was brought to the table, but it was disappointing to be honest. We will go again to give it another try though. Service was very good from the girls.

This is our go-to local and we feel lucky. The food is great. Tonight, the special duck with plum sauce was exceptional and the salads yummy. Chips here are always to die for! There’s a great atmosphere with wonderful, friendly, attentive staff - nothing is too much trouble. All this at a very good price. What’s not to like?!

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