Bobbin Mill in South Ribble

A couple of months ago we celebrated my little boys birthday in Bobbin Mill and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly! Special thanks to Fiona & Janine for all their help and attentiveness. The food (pizza buffet) was a hit and served warm and on time. Even though there were a few events running ant the same time, the atmosphere was welcoming and family-friendly, and the staff really made us feel at home. It’s now our place to go for any celebration and/or eating out.

Had chicken and mushroom pie and potato cheese and leek pies.

Grand not been disappointed yet see you in January, Wow long time since we where with you, 06.12.24. here with Sue for lunch, staff bob on, food very good.

Five of us had dinner here yesterday. The staff was open and friendly, the food was delicious and everything else was clean and tidy. We liked it!

Lunch starters.. leek and potato soup, breaded mushrooms, mains steak and ale pie, crunchy chicken burger and fries, two drinks £40. Not cheap, not dear, not busy, not overly quick service. BUT lovely, polite staff, decent portions of really tasty food from an extensive menu and spotlessly clean restaurant and facilities. Plus a spacious carpark. Highly recommend.

Disappointed only one draft real ale beer , two others not available even on a Friday afternoon. More worrying this pub chain , Marstons operate variable pricing so pint of bitter (Wainrights) was £5. Same beer that afternoon at nearest other Marstons £4.50. Last Friday same beer £3.65, Tuesday that week same beer £1.72. Emailed Marstons to confirm there variable policy….no reply.

Good food, great atmosphere, friendly staff

Had a family meal and what can i say Fab food and great service. My son was catered for too. Nothing too much for them. Will be back.

Me and my wife go here we are little lad absolutely fantastic staff and food thanks

Loved it, nice food, atmosphere and kid friendly

Booked online. On arrival we were told we could sit anywhere. Ordered drinks and food no problem. Food was served hot and fresh. Service was good. No complaints. This is a pub we keep going back to as the food is good and value for money. Sometimes wish there was a couple of different beers on offer as many a time there is only one.

Always a pleasure, great team; drinks only,. Staff are always welcoming and friendly

Had a lovely meal here yesterday the food arrived really quickly, the pub is welcoming and the staff really friendly. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it again

Great food fast easy would go again

Only had a drink but nice staff.

Lovely food which arrived quickly, didn’t realise you could bring in dogs so we will be coming more often now. Nice relaxing atmosphere

Excellent staff ,excellent food ,lovely nice and relaxing..well worth the money.Good that I could take my dog with me.

A while since I ate here, but still good 👍

Local pub - fab staff especially Janine and Charlotte. Tasty food and even tastier gin ❤️

Returned after a while away as I heard it had new management. Good atmosphere and friendly welcoming staff. Food was very good and we did not feel rushed or uncomfortable. We had a very enjoyable evening and looking forward to returning. We will certainly tell our friends to come here.

Entered the pub to be welcomed by friendly bar staff ordered a drink and was given a specials menu and a Sunday roast menu plenty of seating available wether you want a standard table and chairs or a high bar stool and table I chose bar stool ordered food from the Sunday roast menu and had extras pigs in blankets The food arrived hot and was absolutely delicious the beef was tender and plentiful definitely a place I would visit again

Great pub lovely food highly recommend lovely staff

Lovley pub very friendly good food and very clean, great staff, wonderful new managers tv,s with sport, etc to follow

Great visit as alway, food top notch and staff couldn’t do enough for us. I will be visiting for the up and coming disco night can’t wait

Went in with my dad during the euro’s which were fantastic so decided to go back for a meal over the weekend. Once again the staff were fantastic nothing was too much trouble. We both had the mixed grills which we really enjoyed. Looking forward to the up and coming disco night, will be sure to call in with some friends. It’s nice to see the pub busy with a real community vibe and a happy team of staff. Will be back very soon

Top venue fantastic staff always great atmosphere

OK to nip in for a quick lunch. Very basic food. I had the curry which consisted a very good size nann bread, a poppadom, rice. The main issue was the 4 pieces of chicken in quite a watery and not very tasty sauce. It certainly wasn't worth the money compared to other places I've eaten the same meal. Was worth a try but don't think I'll be back, sorry.

Great fish and chips at a reasonable - good pint as well - would recommend

No food ordered today, just a few drinks. The staff are always friendly and service was quick. We've had food in the past and it was always lovely. It's well worth a visit if you're in the area.

called in for lunch had pizzas were great, nice clean pub with good choice of beers, had a Cruz campo, cracking pint. Will definitely return

Perfect service and amazing food, love it every time I come. Venue is always very clean and made to feel very welcome 🍻

Absolutely love the Bobbin Mill! It's our local, albeit a good half hour walk away. Food is always brilliant and their cask ales are the best in the area. Staff are sooo friendly and cannot do enough to help. Great work guys, you are a super team

Great food and atmosphere, reasonably priced, and dogs welcome

Food nice but lacks presentation on pannie bit of garnish would have been nice, tasted nice and was hot staff very friendly and helpful. Not a lot of people in so very quiet was 12.00. Ev changers in car park and lots of offers on menu

Lovely place, I'd not eaten in over a day and a half for my procedure at buckshaw hospital and obviously when done I ran here. The nachos were honestly top quality, wish there was more as I could have eaten them all day! Full of flavour, fresh guac and the desert was lovely and sweet too. Clean place, great family environment and attentive staff who saw to me quickly and took my order. I'd definitely recommend this place!

Excellent selection of beers and wines, served by courteous and well dressed staff

Had a pizza and cheeseburger and they where absolutely fantastic definitely a place to come back to

Such a lovely perfect place only small issue but we didn’t mind the Drinks were missed for a little while due to they hadn’t realised the tickets had come through the online order machine I just asked if they’d realised they had our drinks order to be done they hadn’t and I know that the machines for online orders don’t ping to let you know they’ve been ordered. all good just have them a little nudge that we’d ordered them The food was amazing. Iv been other places where the burgers have been over cooked and are chewy and burned But the cook does the burgers and other food really well the cowboy burger I had was so tasty and still have the juice and wasn’t dry and cooked to perfection very yummy :) Safe pleasant I do how ever have one criticism they are talking to I assume regulars and not paying attention to any one standing at the bar and talking really loudly / laughing with each other while people stand at bar Otherwise. Will definitely be our new place for eating as the place we usually go to has gone very down hill food always cold there The bobbin mill is were we’ve really had a great couple times experience so far love it thanks so much and WILL be going again many times :) Such a nice pub and good atmosphere and very clean Staff quick to clear up finished plate which I love :)

Brilliant pub, made the scooterist feel welcome

Great service and free tea and coffee for those who wanted a warm drink on a cool night. As it was a Scooter meet.

Atmosphere was lovely and calm, seating area was nice a quiet and away from noisy children as we had requested. Food was brilliant- really tasty, fresh and service was quick and efficient. Good prices and location too.

We had a lovely meal at the Bobbin Mill for my little boys 3rd birthday with our family. The service was fast, the staff were helpful and friendly. The food was to a good standard. We will definitely be visiting again in the future.

Janine and Charlotte provided exceptional service due our visit following a family funeral. They were compassionate and kind, treating like we were the only party in the pub. Janine provided the same outstanding service during our May 2023 visit; also following a family funeral. What an incredible example of Janine’s commitment to provide the best possible service to her customers. These ladies go above and beyond and highlights the Bobbin Mill’s commitment to excellence. Massive THANK YOU to these lovely ladies! Many, many thanks…🌞

First time visiting . Food fantastic . Service first class . Defo be back . Thanx for a wonderful day . 👏

Went there twice for lunch and enjoyed. Good pub atmosphere, ample selection of drinks on tap, solid food quality with a reasonably extensive menu by pub standards. Cheerful and friendly staff. Will definitely repeat.

Had mums 72nd birthday meal and the lady running the bar couldn’t do enough for us. My mum has dementia so requires food to be blended etc which the staff were more than happy to do for us, amongst other things. I thought the roast dinner was lovely but maybe a little less pepper as was too spicy for my kids. Other than that 5* all the way. Thank you for making my mums birthday special for her and all my family.

Staff are very friendly and professional. Sometimes the portions are a little small. Occasionally the food is a little cold or the peas over cooked. Overall I think the pub is a very good average due to the offers they have eg 30% off mains and 20% Blue light card discount

Good food, good service, good times!

Went with family and a friend had a lovely evening meal the food we had was lovely 2 of us had chicken tikka 1 had the ultimate southern fried chicken burger 1 had a bacon salad. All was cooked to perfection.

Good food, excellent staff who looked after our party whilst on site

Staff very good and friendly. Service very quick, starters cleared soon and not long to wait for mains. Which were also cleared quickly, and asked if everything was ok which it was food was lovely.

The staff were great friendly and obliging for the slight tweaks we wanted on the menu. Food good and hot. Only thing table looked a little grubby.

My husband and I took our daughter and son in law there for our daughter’s birthday tea. Service was quick and polite and the young man serving us offered to take a photo for us. Two of us had rump steak , one had fish and chips and one scampi and chips. Everything was very nice. The medium steak was really tender and tasty. We all had desserts too and they were a generous size and very nice.

Friendly staff. Delicious and plentiful food. Good value for money. Overall excellent experience. Already recommended to a few people. Will be returning soon. 10/10

We received a friendly polite and professional welcome. We were served by a lovely young man who took our food order. This was yesterday lunchtime, Monday 19th February. I don't know his name but I made a point of telling him how helpful and pleasant he was. Our food arrived promptly and was a good size portion and very tasty

Went today for a family meal, no lasagne, no fish n chips, waited ages for food and it was fairly quiet, oh, no chocolate fudge cake, no where near as good as it used to be, very disappointed which is a shame

Very very slow, only had one chef on at lunch. Food was not as good as I've had previously.

We booked for a celebration meal and chose the hunters chicken but after waiting for half an hour for the meal the chicken was at best warm as were the onion rings. We complained and were told that new meals would be cooked. When they came one was just passable but the other was just a dry piece of chicken with a tiny piece of fatty bacon and no cheese or bbq sauce. We were asked if the meal was OK and I was offered some sauce but it was too late, it should have been on the chicken when served. I didn't eat much as it had spoilt the occasion. When we paid my meal was not charged for but the other was full price even though we'd given in a voucher for 30% off when we ordered. It spoiled the day and we will not be going again.

Lovely staff, reasonable priced good food

Great clean pub with well mannered staff and attentive however the food portions for the adult dishes where lacking I had the hunters chicken and while cooked perfectly I can't see how the portion justified the £12 price

We both enjoyed our meals and the Marston's Pedigree was a good beer

Even though the bar staff were busy, they still made me feel valued. They knew what I wanted to drink and ensured I was served in a timely manner and the one lady who served me was just lovely even though it was extremely busy

The bar staff were absolutely wonderful, even though they were really busy they made me feel so special. It made the whole experience so good! And the food was prompt and so tasty. The staff behind the bar are a credit to the pub! Thank you x

Good food Good service Good price

Pretty average pub menu selection but food was quite good and we all seemed to enjoy our choices. The staff were pleasant and helpful and coped well with a large family group - thank you.

Had our boys birthday here at the weekend. Food was good and good value particularly with their 30% off offer. Staff allowed us to bring our own birthday cake, helped lighting it and even gave us plates to eat it. Great service! Thanks again.

Always a good experience when we eat here. Food is good plus friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere.

This place has had ups and downs but I just feel that it needs a lot of work doing. We sat at a table tonight where there was rubbish on the shelf - could have been a busy day but the rubbish included Christmas cracker remnants so been there a while. Food quality is on the wane - many items not available, pizzas not as good as they used to be. Dirty glasses. Staff who spend more time focusing on the ‘locals’ whose bad language appears to be tolerated ( I’m no saint but I know a family eating establishment isnt the right place to use that language ) Whilst it’s an ok place to go for a couple of drinks it’s certainly not somewhere I’d pick for a special occasion any longer. A good deep clean wouldn’t go a miss. Pick up the standards - it wouldn’t take much.

Had a lovely meal here on Thursday. The pizza was freshly made, will be returning again. And excellent prices! Got the 30% offer so was a bargain for beautiful food. Very friendly service too

Meal came cold . They re did the meal and it was ok. Service was great though . Place was cold although it was freezing 🥶

Staff were very friendly, went above and beyond to help. Make sure we all ok and didn't need anything else, if we did they got it straight away. Food was great. Can definitely say I will be going back again. All 13 off us. All loved it.

Lovely food - mixed grill. Meat cooked as asked. Staff lovely and were happy to get my partner some extra sauce to go with his food. Had the 30% off voucher which was nice and enjoyed a bottle of wine also. - Hardys rose!

Nice place excellent staff Recommended

Excellent service and lovely food would highly recommend.

Staff not very engaging slow to clear table considering pub it was empty two of us had the gammon which was so salty we couldn't eat it we brought home for dogs even they wouldn't eat it the peas were like bullets one had hunters chicken which was burnt so all in all very disappointed and sadly won't be returning 😢

Hi bobbin mill was fantastic. Finding the wine a little expensive. Couldnt afford to go every week or even every month but now and again as a treat

I was very impressed with the service, and the quality of the food nothing at all to complain about, we'll done to all the staff

Decent place when meal deals are taken advantage of. Regular pricing is also reasonable. Offers great space to hold or host large groups indoors. Pizza isn't the greatest.

Visited Bobbin yesterday with my Auntie and Cousin. The food was excellent and the salad so fresh. I would recommend it to anyone. The only mild complaint was having to go back and forward to the bar every time we wanted desert, drinks etc... We passed on coffees ☕ because it was a hassle. Customers would order more if they had table service. Great food 🎄

Staff were very accommodating and friendly and food arrived promptly and in good time for a table of 10. Empty plates so that says it all! Would definitely recommend we will definitely be back!

Great Christmas lunch, staff was so welcoming and in the Christmas spirit. Food was delicious thank you so much

A little disappointed we had booked a table in the dog friendly area and turned up on time, there wasn’t many tables taken in the pub and none others in the dog friendly area but they were still had dirty plates etc on from previous guests, the girl that showed us to the table was great she moved stuff round quite quickly and set us up where we wanted. She told us they were short staffed a chef and other staff hadn’t turned up!! We ordered and the service was quite slow, the food was ok but not great. The Yorkshire puddings were crisp and cardboardy seemed to be dried out possibly made and left under heat lamps? By the time we left there was only one other table had people eating and a couple of guys having a drink near the bar, such a shame this could be a reallly good place

Great food and excellent service from all the staff. The kids love it here. Free WiFi is always a bonus. We will back soon..

Usually pop in after work staff are great and there is a good range of beers, the food is also good on the occasions I've eaten

I was there for the Christmas Markets last weekend and it was a lovely event raising money for the homeless. A choir, some nice stalls and very friendly staff. The mulled wine and Baileys Hot Chocolates were very cheap and the whole place had a really nice atmosphere.

I attended their recent Xmas markets as I was fundraising for Makants Greyhound Rescue. The whole event was very well organised, we were made very welcome and had a successful fundraiser too. Many thanks to the whole team for a lovely afternoon.

good food, good choices and good service and the price is right. Good pedigree !!

The whole place was warm and cozy, very clean and inviting. The two ladies that served us where really helpful and friendly. The food was lovely and plentiful for a lunch time menu. The price was excellent value for money. We will visit again. Many thanks it was a real treat for us today to be waited on as we are both carers and don't get much free time to ourselves. A very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. Karen and Colin

Ordered off the lunchtime menu (hunters chicken) with drinks and was suprised at the cost. When i got back to the table I went through the price list to find I'd paid too much so when the food came i questioned the high cost, the waitress came back and gave me the print out of the bill (which i should of got when i paid on ordering) and just walked off without going through it. Anyway I'd been charged more than on the lunchtime menu (it was 1pm) when i questioned the higher piice i was told I should of ordered of the lunchtime menu (i thought that was the point of it!) and that they had given me the meal on the main menu which was exactly the same but dearer! And that i should of told them i wanted the lunchtime one. Ridiculous and if that is the case then why don't they ask you if you want the dearer and not the cheaper option?? Just a way of getting more money out of you i guess! Food was very average and not a lot of it served. Won't be going back.

It was a fantastic family meal great food and friendly staff. Was a great experience from start to finish.

Slight change with having to order at the bar , rather than waiter service. Ordering at the bar was simple and quick. Unfortunately having ordered our meals it turned out that one meal wasn’t available . Food came within a reasonable time and again slight error on meal content which was rectified. Food was ok as were the drinks. Really pleased to have Pepsi max!

My daughter and I had a chicken roast which was overpowered by beef gravy that left an awful taste in your mouth

Friendly staff and excellent service from start to finish.

My friend and I came last night for the Christmas Meal, just wanted to say we both really enjoyed the food and excellent customer service. X Julie

Came here for my daughters 21st family meal. Booked the table well in advance and sent a msg asking if i could bring cake and banners, no response whatsoever. when we arrived the place was virtually empty. The table we had was dirty, obviously not been wiped down from the previous people. We all ordered and waited, not for very long considering there were 7 of us. Food was poorly presented, i had the club sandwich, the bread was stale and barely toasted, hardly any chicken or bacon and was stone cold. The roast dinners we ordered had two quarters of roast spuds and barely anything else. When we arrived i gave them a cake to bring out after we had finished our meal, both myself and my husband asked for this to be brought out on different occasions, 45mins later i went to the bar to ask where it was, only to be told they were rushed of their feet and they were 'on it' i gave up in the end and asked for the cake back and told them i would do it at home. In summary, just don't bother - especially if its for a special occasion. This was the last of my Daughters celebrations and we can honesty say - it was ruined. Well done Marston's, defo will not be returning.

Great breakfast today and great price. The Meat and black pud was really tasty too.
