So midweek late afternoon visit. Pub pretty empty. Food was excellent, I had steak ciabatta & chops , pretty much spot on. Nachos to start which are lovely. So why a tricky review? 1. It was absolutely freezing in the pub (I don’t tend to feel the cold….) We ate with our coats on!!!! 2. The music was far too load, ok for 9pm on a Friday night but not 3pm in the afternoon. 3. Service was good but could have been better, had to get our own menus after being shown to a seat? Hopefully this is just a one off as it’s a great place with lovely food. Please turn the heating up & the music down!

As a connoisseur of roast dinners, I decided to sample the Sunday roast at the Brockholes for a change. It exceeded my expectations. The beef was tender and raw/medium to my liking. An abundance of roasted and boiled veg accompanied by a large yorkshire pudding and gravy. An fabulous meal and excellent value for money. My commendations to the staff, especially Megan who was so accommodating to my quirky requests. Would recommend this to anyone.

I never really bother to right reviews but we were in the area and wanted somewhere to have some good food and watch the football, we called up and even with 11 in our group they were able to squeeze us in without much notice. Service was fantastic, food and beer prices were extremely good considering how tasty the food was and how crisp the pints were. Busy atmosphere and warm feel to the pub Would definitely recommend Thanks for looking after us 🦡

We had a lovely couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon. We had our dog, which was no problem. We had a lovely meal. The Sunday roasts are excellent. We were staying at Orchard Glamping, so walked from there (0.8 mile). Service was excellent. We would go back next time we are in area.

Always been happy with food at The Brockholes, recent visit maintaining the standard. Late afternoon visit, pub pretty quiet probably as a result food served quickly. I just had two starters, loaded nachos & buffalo chicken tenders, both very good indeed. The nachos is a big portion & is probably a sharing starter. Wife had fish & chips & she said the fish was excellent. Well done The Brockholes!

Just had the worst roast dinner ever roast beef too tough to cut , they didn’t even have a steak knife to cut it vegetables disgusting, paid £15 for an aunt Bessie’s Yorkshire pud because that is all that was edible

If like me you're a Sunday Roast lover then you MUST come here. Perfectly cooked roast beef with all the trimmings (even included cauliflower cheese). A proper home cooked dinner.. It might have taken us a while to find this place but we will definitely be back. The hunt for the best roast is over - Brockholes Arms you're the winners. Finished off with an apple crumble and custard to die for 😋😋

First time we’ve tried a home delivery from The Brockholes, it definitely won’t be our last. 2 x chicken in a basket, really really good with amazing sides of coleslaw & gravy. Not a morsel was left & all delivered within 45 minutes of ordering. We have precious little options for home delivery in the area, Brockholes will now become a regular / go to. Well done, highly recommended.

It's many years since have visited this pub it has had a refurb since then . They have tastefully modernised but still kept some if the original charm . My husband is fussy when he's eating out and the table we had been allocated was in the middle of the room very close to the bar we asked Meganto be moved and it was no problem . Now to the food we had pate and the shrimp for starters the shrimp was well cooked and a little spicy and I loved it . The pate wasn't to my husband's liking it was quite dry and the onion marmalade was in the bottom of the pot but it was plentyfull. Mains were delicious and well presented . Megan our server was lovely very helpful and polite a credit to the pub. Would return but just wouldn't have the pate .

Not even left the building yet but felt the need to leave a review! Had 3 starters and 3 of the Sunday roasts and can honestly say it's the best meal I've had in a LONG time! The beef was honestly the most perfectly cooked beef I've had with a Sunday roast, veg was perfect, wonderful home made gravy... Literally cannot express how impressed and satisfied I am with absolutely everything about the experience. 10 out of 10. Seems to be thriving under new management!

BAD POINTS We had leek and potato soup for starters, we saw the cook eating from what looked to be a shop bought tub of leak and potato soup. We also saw further jars of what looked to be pasta sauces! The bill had been fluffed where they had added an extra dink 1 pint £4 to the bill! The food was average the portions were lacking. Not worth the trip. GOOD POINTS Staff were friendly Clean enough.

Sadly, I had a very negative experience here. After a very long walk I asked whether they served cheesy chips was spoken to and looked at with disdain and told no. When I was searching for the food menu I was informed menus were on the table. This menu had cheese on a number of items including as a topping for Jacket Potato. I explained I understood what I'd been told I just wondered if you could sell me cheese as a side ( most places are accommodating to their customers) I was again told we don't do cheesy chips or comes on top of the potato ( which surely you need to add?!) I said I would go somewhere else and was told you do that. I turned around and told her she had a bad attitude. She made me feel little and humiliated in front of a room of customers. I hope she has a few more people don't bother going in because of her rudeness maybe she'll learn some kindness. The lack of helpfulness fine they don't do it her lack of kindness quite another.

Went for a christmas lunch. No cutlery or serviettes on the table. Some christmas crackers were handed out as an after thought. Slow service. Limited menu. Starter was cheese croquettes - tasted no cheese + sauce dip was awful. Main was Turkey roast. Sloppy stuffing. Basic veg + mash. Very uninspiring. Staff disappeared when it was time to pay. Passed on the 3rd course therefore my bill was changed to a 2-course. Coffee not included in price. Wont be returning or recommending to other locals. Overall very disappointing + not festive at all

Just outstanding! When this opened, I thought, ‘why does Poulton need another cafe?’. How wrong I was. This is just incredible. Everything I have had from there is absolutely fantastic quality - the toasties are out of this world! The soup is always lovely. The iced coffee are fantastic too. They even made an omelette for my daughter who is 18 months and she loved it. Nothing is too much trouble. In short - top quality food, great service - what more could you want?
