Cardwell Arms in Chorley

Excellent food, good atmosphere and great service

Great food good choice of beers good friendly service

Visited the Caldwell twice over a month to celebrate grandchildren’s birthday. The Monday meal value is fantastic along with the quality of food. Between 6 off us we sampled several different dishes which the portions are great but more importantly are delicious. Staff and service are also spot on. Great value for money would definitely recommend.

Excellent food with one real ale available on the bar

Excellent pub restaurant with one cask ale available plus other drinks. The food was large portions and tasty.

An unassuming pub from the front, but has some good food options (not the cheapest) and a fantastic huge beer garden in the back.

I was taken for lunch today for my up coming birthday & it was one of the best meals I think I ever had! Garlic mushroom starter then a roast beef dinner. Extremely tasty, lots of it, beautiful cooked and presented for £12.95!! I couldn't fit a dessert in, but judging on what other customers had, I'd say it would have been lovely. The staff are very friendly & thoughtful, and the service was very good. The pub itself has a great atmosphere & welcomes dogs to. Will definitely recommend & visit again. Thank you!!

The Monday menu is excellent value

Popped into the Cardwell arms for some lunch for the first time, wow what a delightful surprise it was. Absolutely delicious, very well presented, generous helping and very tasty. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, we'll definitely be there again soon.

Came to this pub for the first time today from Liverpool,was so busy as had an event on but all the staff and owner were well organised and had everything under control,owner was so lovely with his staff and all the customers and the food was absolutely delicious

Wonderful lunch as ever! Highly recommended

Was there on a Monday evening when they have a special deal on Feel like I owe them more money Couldn't fault their food Thanks guys x

Great little pub food was good onion bhaji was very large and tasty, curry was good and a decent pint.

Cardwell arms is a hidden gem... excellent friendly staff, great pub and very good food 👌 the prices are fantastic too... all in all a great experience! I'm defo going back.

Turned up for our meal. Ordered my 16 year old a shandy (perfectly legal if accompanied by an adult with a meal) to be told he couldn't have it when it came. Sat for 25 minutes and no one bothered to take our order. I showed the bar staff the Government website allowing a 16/17 year old to drink with a meal. Made no difference. Rubbish service. We left and won't return or recommend

Went for my wife's birthday. Young 16 year old singing, he was brilliant and the found extremely good and value for money

Had the pleasure of dining at The Cardwell last night warm welcome drinks brought to our table the best pint of Coors i have had in long time super cold and on a happy hour offer. We ordered the two currys for £30 what a deal. We had onion bhaji and a chicken curry hot and a beef curry medium beautifully flavoured and cooked stayed hot, served with rice and chips and naan bread. A ridiculous amount of quality food for £30 served by friendly staff in a nice bright clean pub. Thoroughly enjoyable few hours thank you.

Lovely little pub, brilliant staff and the food was amazing. We went for the munchy Mondays menu and it didn't dissapoint. Would 100% recommend to anyone and will definitely be back.

We came for the Monday munches menu. The food was absolutely delicious service was fantastic they couldn't do enough for us. 10 out of 10 definitely be coming back

This is one of our favourite places to eat and drink . Staff are always friendly and accommodating wherever possible . Food is top notch at all times . We do usually eat on a munchy Monday due to work commitments but 5 🌟 all around .

Been numerous times and the food has been absolutely amazing. Great friendly quick service would highly recommend especially munchie Mondays superb priced food and excellent quality.

Warm friendly welcome, lovely staff, very family, great food and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend the Cardwell Curry and Sunday Roast.

Always love coming here, relaxed atmosphere, staff attentive and quick. Food is amazing every time without fail. Always really good choice, top quality ingredients and freshness. Such good value especially on a Monday. We came here for Christmas dinner also which we thoroughly enjoyed. Nothing was too much trouble. Would always recommend to others to come.

Absolutely fantastic food and unbelievable value for money! We regularly eat at The Cardwell (and sister pub The Spinners at Cowling) and have never been disappointed. The Munchy Monday deal is such a steal for the quality of food served. A real gem of Adlington/Chorley.

The staff were so friendly and accommodating, we felt welcomed immediately. The food options were fantastic and we weren’t disappointed as the food was absolutely gorgeous. The portion sizes were brilliant. We were really pleased with the price and we felt we definitely got value for money. The atmosphere was great and we will definitely look forward to coming again.

Visited for a bottomless brunch. Afternoon, great food, couldn't fault the service for drinks, definitely go again 💚

went 26/2 for a meal to be polite can only say absolutely disgusting meal cold they forgot cutlery yhey forgot condiments WILL NOT BE GOING AGAIN OR RECOMENDING

Lovely food and excellent service and staff were lovely.

Great food and large servings. The service was excellent and all the staff were friendly and efficient. Excellent value for money, especially on the 2 or 3 course offers.

Nice quick visit passing thro was fun even the golf ball seller haha

We visited several times over the past few months & also had take-away meals as we live not far. The food is very good quality pub food with decent sized portions & the staff are really friendly. Their Munchie Monday is excellent value with the same high standard of food

Went for Christmas dinner, absolutely lovely food, cooked to perfection, the lamb was cooked beautifully, doesn't look like loads on the picture but it was a huge chunk of lamb and I was absolutely stuffed after a starter and main. Highly recommended

6 of us had lunch here today. The food and the beer wwre absolutely first class. The prawn curry I had was as good as any curry I have eaten in a very long time. Prpoer homemade food, cooked brilliantly. Service was gteat too.

Great Xmas evening dining for 6,special thanks to the chef, superb food , serving and top entertainment from the singer,disappointed for you that the uptake was so low ,they missed an amazing night which we had 16th December x

Wonderful food an a Monday night. Was going to have 3 courses from the munchy Monday menu but glad we only had 2. The portion sizes were brilliant but I must compliment the chefs for beautiful flavoursome food which hit all the right notes. We will definitely be returning and thank you all for a lovely evening. A credit to the owners your staff are amazing

Visited a few times for food. The curry was amazing, very fresh and tasty. Home made chips. Portion sizes good. Clean pub and barmaid nice. Just a shame not many in and we were the only ones dining although a few more arrived whilst there. The chef obviously enjoys cooking as theur results are so tasty! Definitely recommend the food although the atmosphere a little flat as hardly anyone in. Please go and try the food....well worth it 😊

Dropped in on Sunday and the place was busy . Managed to get a table which was good . The food took rather a long time to arrive but it was very busy. Food was good . Service was not quite as good but still ok . No table checks whatsoever throughput the meal . Had to get up to ask for salt etc but no great hardship . Would recommend this place . Would have been 5 stars but just lacking a tad . Will definitely be back and I will book first !

Black and white pudding stack with poached egg was poor quality. Egg was solid,black pudding like rubber,white pudding had texture of oatibix and the whole was draped with a thick,beef-flavoured 'sauce' which tasted very much like the stroganoff served to a friend. Main course was much better. I did not feel that I could complain as I was in an organised group. I will not be going there again

Monday is a budget night excellent food and brilliant value

Didn't have food but a lovely experience...

Came for a meal today & have to say the service was shocking. Not once did someone come to our table asking if we wanted a drink. Had to chase them round to ask them. Wanted to order food, again had to shout someone over. (It was not busy either the staff just seemed to be wondering around doing god knows what.) The main meal was amazing the food here is really nice and this is the only reason i gave 3 stars. No offers of condiments with our meal, just put down on the table and walked off. When we had finished no one came to clear our plates until we stacked them at the side of the table making it obvious we had finished. Had to shout someone over to order desserts. They all came at different times and were vile , just a bowl of cream with half of meringue plonked in the middle and they called it eaton mess?! Ice cream was full of actual ice. Does anyone care about customer service anymore?? shame because the main chef cooking the hot meals obviously works hard here, but safe to say i wont be returning after that service today.

Sunday roast , really good, well cooked, service excellent, delivered to beer garden in double quick time. Will be back.

Always amazing, food incredible, service done like it should be, amazing beer garden. They make such an effort to know the locals it’s very well received! Plus happy hour 🍻 always goes down well! Absolute must

Brilliant afternoon, watching queen tribute, great food 👌 best buffet 😋

We moved to Adlington 5 years ago & we’ve been eating at The Cardwell for around three years. It really is a good place to have a meal & the standard has always been very good - even the take-away Sunday roasts during lockdown were excellent! We chose curry night (again) and it really is good food. We also take advantage of Munchie Monday as it’s a bargain. The cask ale is pulled well & the staff are very efficient & friendly

Had a great afternoon at the afternoon Brunch with friends and family. Food was amazing and great entertainment!

Brilliant food, prices high, but so is every where tbf. Staff was great and service. Can't complain

Excellent take away Sunday roast. Recommended

Great pub,great food,friendly staff and great value for money

I have given it a review of average because we thought the new menu did not have a lot of choice and the didn't do the three course special menu that they did on our previous visit My wife orders chicken strips for a starter and they brought chicken skewers both was on the menu but they said they don"t do chicken strips and gave her these, and for main she had steak and cheese panini and chips she didn't really enjoy it I had gammon and chips gammon was nice but I also did not like the chips a bit soggy and pale Would I go back again ? We enjoyed our first visit but not this one so no John

Had starter and main course yesterday. Have to say the food was very good,service was great as well. Would recommend the place

Excellent meal, really good value for money and pleasant staff.

Massive portions good food friendly staff great service even though they where very busy. Good choices on menu

home cooked totally fresh, tasty food with massive portions. The curry night was absolutely delicious....plus the staff were lovely too...will definitely be back

Great pub..food looked excellent...unfortunately I was only in servicing the sound system 😁

Another fabulous value for money meal. Great food as always

Sunday lunch is very very good. Highly recommend any of the roast dinners.

Foods amazing friendly staff large beer garden 2 injoy the sun

Great food, cracking little place… can get a little cold if sat near to the front door on cold days. But it wouldn’t put us off calling again for lunch! Lovely presented tasty food! We’ll be back!

We really like this pub, we’ve only used it for eating in with family, but the atmosphere is friendly, chilled and comfortable, the food isn’t the cheapest tbf, but, it’s good! You pay for what you get! It’s not standard frozen pub grub, it’s really nice. Portions are quite big too, so you do get value for money. Car park is a little bit of a squeeze sometimes but road parking is available, and with the great beer garden in the right weather it’s a great place for eating inside and out. I know this pub does all sorts of entertainment, singers/quizzes etc, we’ve never been to these, but I believe they’re very good, so worth mentioning for what the pub has to offer. Good businesses deserve good reviews.

I ate there today with three friends, one of whom had eaten there before. She had raved about the food. So based on her recommendation we all went today for lunch. To be honest it doesn’t look much from the outside. A bog standard looking pub to be honest. However inside it was nicely decorated and the seats were comfortable. The menus were a little tatty but the selection on offer was wide and varied. I had the gammon with pineapple and all the trimmings. It was gorgeous. One friend had the vegetarian Sunday lunch. The other two had the Stroganoff, I think? My mind has gone blank, sorry. It had beef in a sauce with rice and chips. Whatever it was they all loved their meals too. We had a coffee, also nice, but no puddings as we were all stuffed. I can honestly say it was a fantastic meal as was the service by the young staff. We will be visiting again.

Great food and very good value for money

Been several times now and particularly like the Monday evening menu where you can get 3 courses for under £13, this is getting down to Spoons prices but with far far better quality and you're supporting a local business. Recommended.

Fantastic hot food lovely staff coming again

We went as a group from Tesco Talking Tables. We were asked to pre order as there were about 16 of us. The food was plentiful and hot. The service was and the staff were friendly. We went on Munchies Monday, so the main course was £ 8.95. I think £ 10.95 for 2 courses can't remember 3 courses. Would recommend a visit.

About 16 went for the Monday Munchies Menu. As there were so many of us, we pre ordered our meals. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our food was served hot and was appetising and tasty. There were many other people enjoying lunch. It was £ 8.95 for 1 course and £ 10.95 for two. I would recommend a visit.

There were 6 of us (+ 1 dog) all hungry and we were not sure where to eat. We came across this place on the internet last minute and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere, the staff and of course the food were all so good. Will definitely be returning.

Food was awful. Would not go again

Just had a meal here. Absolutely gorgeous, friendly staff very attentive. Creamy garlic mushrooms roast beef dinner, the beef was so tender. Cheesecake for sweet, all this for £12.95 on the Monday munchies madness menu. Very good portions. I would recommend the food here 💯. Will definitely be back for more.

Went for a Quiz night really good atmosphere.

Went for Christmas dinner. £80 a head for 3 courses plus mince pie and tea or coffee after. It was absolutely delicious. And the service from the staff was brilliant. Nothing was rushed, all came at a nice place, just enough time between courses and a smile on every staff members face. Not to busy. But enough people in to create a nice atmosphere. Would 100% recommended. Thanks again to the team for an amazing day.

Monday nights are well worth a visit 3 courses for 12.95 good food gets very busy need to book

Great place to eat and drink. Fantastic bar staff,very friendly atmosphere.

Restaurant quality food in friendly local pub.

We are regular visitors at the Cardwell, and feel so lucky to have it as one of our locals! Very rarely does a pub tick all boxes… the food is incredible (hot, fresh, great value and cooked from scratch), staff are all so lovely we’ve made some great friends, atmosphere is always friendly, live music nights on bank hols etc, welcoming and fun later in the evening, massive beer garden in the summer and warm and cosy in the winter, family friendly - (which we’ve recently realised after having our own baby and can no longer stay too late at the bar!!), sports in the back room, dog friendly, full of history, beer and wine great, HAPPY HOUR!!! Where else can you get a pint of peroni for under £3.50??? Emma and Glen are great and nothing is too much trouble!! It’s all you can ask for from a local pub and more. Back to the food though - we’ve eaten a lot from here and never had a bad meal. The curry is AMAZING (Thursday curry night is a new fave), the roasts are massive and delicious, the fish options are great, and the stroganoff is so good. Chips are proper chips, halloumi fries are delicious, and any place that does a side of pigs in blankets all week long wins my partner’s heart! The sister pub Spinners at Cowling is equally as nice but we can’t walk home from there ;)

Sunday roast beef was excellent highly recommended.

I visited The Cardwell Arms with my wife - mushroom soup was brilliant, and ribeye steaks delicious! Noteworthy, the staff is super nice and polite. Great restaurant!

The curry is unrivalled. Quality food, drinks, service, and at a reasonable price. Thursdays are curry night (two curries, onion bhajis, naan, chips, and rice for £25). Plus Glen is a top bloke 👍🏻

Had a meal for 4 on a busy Saturday night all the food was absolute spot on and the staff were brilliant will definitely be returning sooner rather that later 👍🏻

Had an amazing night here on Friday. Big family party for a 40th birthday and nothing was too much trouble. The bar staff were friendly and efficient. The food (hotpot with individual crusts, chicken curry & rice, and a shed load of chips) went down...

Wow what can I say. We came from near Manchester as we had heard so much about the food here, we were not disappointed. We had the Sunday roast and we wasn’t disappointed done to perfection. The food was amazing and u got plenty. The...

We had a amazing experience, like every other time we have visited the cardwell. Staff are very polite and attentive and the food is to die for . We couldn't belive the bill was so low for all the food we got . 10/10 would recommend.

First time ever been there,went with friends ,we all had the roast dinner ,it was really lovely ,roast beef was so tender ,service was excellent and very friendly ,will definitely return again.

Absolutely fantastic food and service. The best steak and mushroom pie I have ever eaten. A must visit.

We visited recently for a meal with a large party of 20 of us. The food was all lovely and home cooked. Then there was a really good singer on and we stayed until the pub was closing. We all had such a great night....

Very friendly helpful staff. Amazing service and accommodating to suit our requirements. Catered for a large party but that didn’t affect the service we received. The landlady could not do enough for us… even let us choose the soup of the day. Decorated our tables...

The food, ambiance, entertainment and all of the staff were second to none... perfect. They served 21 of us delicious food, with a chef down too!! We all spoke very highly of our meals and I didn't hear any complaints. Thank you for being amazing...

What an absolute amazing evening celebrating our friend Hen party, staff super friendly manger amazing to allows us to play are party pranks on each other. Live music fabulous 👌 and food delicious 😋 can not thank them enough best night out in ages thankyou...

Great place, fabulous food & beer garden, love the Monday Munchie menu!

Great food, good atmosphere, reasonable prices and fabulous staff!!

Booked in for Sunday lunch here today and got service with a smile,outstanding meal,hot,fresh and of very high quality.Very family friendly and lots of patience for the children.Desserts were also delicious and we most certainly will return here.Thank you guys!

Excellent service, Brilliant food, nice atmosphere.

Brilliant Sunday roast beef dinner

Fantastic food, and plenty of it. We ordered Tapas where we tend to order a decent amount of, usually because they tend to be small portions. Not at the Cardwell, I don't often leave food.

Excellent food, friendly service and I was really surprised by the vegan options, good choice, great portion sizes. I highly recommend!

Curry was great, just a shame it had been happy hour and some local scruffs sounded like they were auditioning for a new Jeremy Kyle pilot episode.

Good food lovely pub .great staff reasonably priced

Went for a meal with my son and my mum. My mum and myself didn't enjoy our meals and didn't eat much of them. My son's burger was not cooked through and was red at one end. We went home with empty bellies and were...

Brilliant food and excellent value for money, the servings are quite big. If you go after 4:30 you need to book. Well worth the trip to this little gem.

Me n the family went to the cardwell this evening for meal ! Amazing ! 10 out of 10 highly recommend
