Dresser's Arms in Chorley

Visited with friends on a Monday lunchtime after a canal walk. Really friendly staff, dog friendly. Monday special, pie or burger and a drink £10, Excellent value and really good plentiful food. Would recommend

Great food with amazing service. The food was very good our party of 6 all enjoyed the night very much . We will definitely be back!

Steep incline followed by your choice of 4 steps or a ramp to an outward opening door, making it impossible to open the door after negotiating the ramp! (See photos).

After this evenings experience, I can highly recommend the Dressers Arms. We wanted a table for two at short notice on a busy Friday for our fish and chip supper. The staff were great, table sorted in the dining area, order taken and served within 15 minutes. Fish was succulent and delicious, the tasty hand cut chips were crisp outside and fluffy inside, just what we needed after a busy week. All this while the pub main bar was heaving with drinkers on one of the busiest nights of the year. (Not surprising looking at the range of draught ales available) Well done to all, this is a gem of a pub/restaurant, this team are performing their socks off.

Impromptu lunch after the gym. Lovely sweet potato and kale pie, triple cut chips and assortment of green vegetables. Great presentation! Staff efficient, courteous and attentive without being intrusive. Been lots of times and its fast becoming my favourite. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend . Husband reports great beers!

Never fails to let you down . Great food, amazing staff... Perfect for an overnight stay business trip ... This is the home from home..

Have to report a minor disappointment. As regular visitors to the Dressers we enjoy the two steaks + wine deal on a regular basis. Last Saturday evening the steaks were as tough as old rope. They were cooked exactly as requested. Flavour was great, but if my sainted grandma with her full set of dentures had been served those steaks, she'd have died of starvation before being able to chew through them. This is a real departure from the norm! Please Dressers, either change your butcher or have a quiet word with them about the quality of the rump steak. 28 day aged prime it most certainly wasn't.

Great food , fantastic venue and great service. 👍

First time here today and I thought it was fab. Amazing food, with really good portion sizes (had to bring some home with me!) Staff so friendly and attentive. Also love the feel of the place. Will definitely be back.

Really nice 2 day stay for business. Rooms very clean and well equipped. Very welcoming staff that are happy to help with anything. Food was excellent.

Fantastic meal ,waitress was lovely and helpful,you do need to book in advance gets very busy,they don't rush youdeffinaely be going back

Fantastic selection of beers to suit every taste. 2 Timothy Taylors always on as standard and kept in top condition. Highly recommended.

Went in for lunch, very accommodating, dog friendly, and good food.

Called in with the dog for a late lunch on a Friday afternoon. Great choice of food. Was tempted by the Friday fish deal. Tried the fillet steak sandwich which was delicious and the skin on fries were also great. My friend ordered the grilled cheese which was absolutely immense. Very tasty. We also tried the pulled pork nachos and again they were very flavourful. Nice salad with the sandwiches. Very relaxed vibe and friendly staff. Beautifully decorated. We will be returning.

Absolutely fabulous family owned pub/restaurant and letting rooms. Excellent staff,great quality food. Pet friendly . The menu is very comprehensive and the food is locally sourced produce. Thd Chinese restaurant above the pub is high quality with an early bird menu during the week Again,the staff are very attentive The accommodation is in the cottages next door, with a high standard of provisions , very clean and well managed and maintained.

Food was excellent and the price was good too.

Fab birthday lunch for my mum 84. Food and service were fantastic. Their steak and ale pie was gorgeous as always. will be back again soon !

Went here for a Saturday lunch after a drive out. Beautiful setting & a real cozy, clean welcoming pub. Large selection of meals etc & very attentive staff. Foolishly we hadn't booked a table but luckily they managed to 'squeeze us in'. Mrs P had the Scampi with triple cooked chips, mushy peas & tartare sauce, I had the same but with the battered fish.. Now I am 'Mr Fish n Chips' & this was up there. Crisp batter, stunning chunky chips homemade Tatare sauce with fresh lemon...lip smacking imho. Washed down with a nice cold pint of Amstell beer each. Mrs P struggled slightly & left the chips (lightweight). Normally I'd oblige but tbh I was stuffed. All in all a great meal...we'll be back again & very soon!!!. Thanks Dressers Arms.

Sunday lunch with family. The food and service were 5 star. Highly recommend. Would definitely go again.

Lovely food and excellent service

Good food and beer. Prices of beer excellent. Food prices similar to most places.

Great food and friendly service, thank you!

Absolutely excellent service! Had my father's funeral wake here last week. Buffet was excellent quality and value. Staff were attentive. Fires and candles lit. Was a perfect celebration of life. Thanks especially to Holly, Ethan and Jack

Food was absolutely amazing, I had the cheese and onion pie and my friend had the fish and chips. Staff was really welcoming, attentive and polite. Will deffo be going again! 10/10

Lovely meal here bit pricey though

7 of us. Very greasy fish and chips batter especially. The chips weren't triple cut. I had cheese and onion pie was ok nothing special for the money we all paid. Nobody asked us if our meals were OK was disappointed this is the second time in December we have been last time I ordered fillet steak sandwich and was so much strong mustard on it, it spoilt the steak we had to scrape it off.. Told the waitress who passed on to chef but no free drinks or pudding etc esp when paying 14 pound each for a sandwich and drinks. Not sure for the price if I will be back any time soon.

Didn't stay in the rooms, but... Great pub, great staff, great beer, great food 👍

Went to the dressers arms for the first time today. Wow. Lovely pub and good service but the food was just amazing. Best pie, chips and veg I have ever had. Husband had a fabulous chunky beef and chorizo chilli (also devine) I need to go back asap!

We love the dressers. Marvellous food on par with a high end restaurant. Don't be fooled that it's a pub serving food - the food is first class.

We chose The dressers for our workplace Christmas Lunch We were not disappointed. From the service to the food everything was excellent We will definitely go back there. Lots of homemade food which made all the difference! Highly recommend!

Eaten here several times, always lovely.

Booked a table to try out food and general atmosphere before booking a family get together of 14 which would also included 3 rooms in the new year. Needless to say we will not be making a booking. Food was very disappointing, service although quick was not friendly and complaint made twice regarding greasy food was ignored. Could not wait to get out missing out on a desert. Very disappointing.

Good food, good beer, good venue, nice staff

Absolutely superb, this is my idea of the best pub ever. Character, charm, huge atmosphere friendly, food is fantastic and staff equally so. I'll certainly be back. Thank you.

We went for the first time yesterday with friends who have been on several occasions. The menu choice is good. Service, good. We had one of the special deals for 2. 9oz ribeye steak meal with a bottle of wine, £40. The steak was beautifully prepared. There's a good selection of beers at the bar. A large car park is very useful and it was easy to find. We live in Bolton, and it's only 20 minutes drive. It's now on our list.

Meet up with friends, perfect, comfortable, nothing too much trouble and to top that there food was excellent

Very pleasant pub, dog friendly in bar area, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and really good food.

Went for Sunday Lunch the food was lovely, we had 2 Starters and Sunday Lunch could not fault the food, asked for mustard which was forgotten nearly finished my meal when I managed to ask again, when they took our plates I wanted a dessert but never came back to ask and was running out time before our table was booked out again

Lovely staff very nice and polite perfect pint of Guinness to go with my pie 🥧 I would definitely recommend this place

Nice staff good service friendly

Nice pub restaurant, good British food and goodservice. Dog friendly. Chinese restaurant also on site.

Great place to eat. Staff very courteous and friendly. Food excellent. Plenty of choices on cask Ales.

Good food. Limited menu. Very popular.

Fitted us in for Sunday lunch,food good staff friendly

Lovely lunch excellent food and service

Outstanding restaurant in Chorley. Came for the Sunday lunch which was beautiful and I had a steak which was cooked to perfection. The manager is always attentive coming round making sure everyone is looked after. One of my favourite places to eat.

Just had dinner here with family it was brilliant. Great food and great service. We had roast dinner with 3 joints of meat available you could have any or all three. So polite and so attentive. Will definitely be back.

Great small plate meals for our rambling lunch.

Excellent meal, lovely friendly helpful staff

Fantastic club sandwich and great service by the staff. 5/5 will be going again!

Just totally loved the food. I had the pear and goats cheese salad which was amazing. My husband had steak and ale pie. Never been before but will 100% be going back next time we are in Chorley Service was excellent too big thank you...

Called for lunch on a Tuesday. Lovely polite helpful staff. Menu not massive but had good variety We had burgers ( one chicken one beef) Bothe very tasty Great fries lovely and crispy Good price point Will definitely recommend

Went Friday afternoon 3pm for early meal. I had rib eye the wife had cod lion Kiev. The cod lion was lovely the rib eye was not. Full of fat, which I told the lad waiting on he said he’d report it to the chef....

A very pleasant stay for a drink and lunch. Friendly, helpful staff. Good quality and good sized portions. Having visited with a group of 15 for a Friday evening meal, I am delighted to report that the service is first class and the food of a very high quality and reasonably priced. We will be back..

By far, the best pub in the area, food 100%, service 100%. Locals amazingly welcoming.

Originally, went to the Chinese, upstairs but it was fully booked! Hardly disappointed as The Dressers Arms could fit us in and served up a treat - three treats to be fair. Three stunning meals plus a bonus treat of first class onion rings! The gammon streak was like a mini Sunday roast - stunning!

Great place always a warm welcome, very clean throughout , would highly recommend the Chinese restaurant upstairs 10/10

This is a very nice pub with a really good selection of ales, but the star is the food which is truly exceptional. We’re on holiday in a rented property nearby and we’ve come here twice already - we came back today for the Sunday...

Best Fish & Chips I've had in years. We are regular visitors & usually have the 2 steaks & wine midweek offer. This time we opted for the fish & chips. The large piece of perfectly fried fish in a light batter, excellent triple cooked...

We were out for a walk and found this pub.Very friendly and chatty lady behind the bar.We had a pastrami sandwich and the sausage roll.Really tasty.

Called in after a walk up Rivington. Lovely selection of small plates with some excellent craft beers. Holly very welcoming and pleasant. Recommended.

So Disappointed!! ....came after walking for their fabulous and delicious Fillet steak sandwich X2 with Chips .Arrived at 10 past 5..Told Stopped serving sandwiches at 5 pm .....st £14 per sandwich and chip at £5 .....don't understand them l losing nearly £40 in revenue in...

Booked for Sunday lunch got the roast dinner with all three meats. Absolutely beautiful food. I loved the nice touch of daufenoir potatoes rather than mash. Nice choice of ales and wines. Lovely oldy Woldy pub

Fab steak sandwich ! Not been to Dressers for ages but was really impressed by the food . The Fillet steak sandwich for £14 was worth every penny and the chips were great too . Will most definitely return after our next walk with dog...

We stayed for two nights. Friday night meal and wine deals. Food excellent. Staff so attractive and helpful, particularly when we needed taxis etc. Will definitely go back. Thank you

Another visit to this ever popular hotspot, another pleasant evening, friendly, helpful service. We visit often but if we lived nearer would visit more often. Always a fabulous ambience to this place, always want to revisit. This time round the proprietor was as welcoming &...

Treated son and his wife to drinks & dinner dinner at the Dressers Arms today. Bar was busy but (having booked) were shown to our table and drinks swiftly delivered. New menu looked interesting so took a while to decide. Garlic ciabatta with cheese was...

I only discovered this place a couple of months ago but have been back several times. Eat inside or out. Good food. Good staff. Good range of beers on tap with a good turn over of different types beers to suit most tastes. Very reasonably...

Our son moved to Chorley in November 2022, and we have now stayed here twice. The rooms are perfect for an overnight stopover, being clean and comfortable. Plenty of parking just across the road. We will make this a regular pit-stop when visiting from Essex.

Awful Customer service by one individual the restaurant manager . Purchased drinks for over £30 and sat at a table reserved for another party for 6.30 .Told to leave the table at 6.10 as the group had arrived early in a brusque rude manner .This...

We had lunch here last weekend as we were staying in the area. 11 of us including kids. We all enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The staff were attentive. Melissa behind the bar was very friendly and made us feel welcome. Overall a good experience.

First visit since changing hands in Autumn 2022 and it was not good. I always have the turkey roast dinner on a Sunday and it was dreadful, dry meat under-cooked roasties, bland veg and given half way through my meal a tiny dish with burnt...

Went with two teenagers (13&15) for an anniversary meal. Did not disappoint. High class pub food that is a bit more expensive than traditional pub but well worth the money. Great selection of ales. Best roast dinner I’ve had in a pub.

After trying to get a beer & a wine at the Malthouse Farm to be told we would have to wait 35 minutes!!! For 2 drinks! We walked up the road to the Dressers arms. It's Good Friday & very sunny and the pub and...

The place has been refurbished with new tables new kitchen and a new menu, but we used really enjoy the old menu great food on it but this new menu looks very basic and uninteresting, doesn’t look to challenging for the chef, it’s an easy...

We visited this place for lunch recently and can’t wait to return - it was perfect. Food was fantastic and brought out very quickly and staff were extremely friendly. Thumbs up from both of us!

food average,nothing to shout about, drinks expensive a pint of guinness £5.65, the most expensive pint i have had ,the food is average had better localy not been for a long time,will be a long time before we come again.

We visit regularly and have for many years we have always enjoyed our meals but today was a last minute at 5pm on a Weds mela out was not as busy at all when we arrived than when we usually have been.. We got the...

Went for something to eat and drink in the Dressers and it is such a friendly pub with fantastic food and amazing staff. Hollie was so professional and friendly behind the bar along with the entire staff. I will definitely visit again! Fantastic

Great service from Nick and the waitresses, the manageress that stands behind the bar is rude, only talks to who she wants, she is not polite and hardly does any work except pull a couple of pints when she wants too. She will let all...

Nice atmosphere in this pub, poor vegetarian/vegan options. Food was okay but basic, staff don’t seem happy to be there.

I loved this place. Pre covid we went nearly weekly. Great atmosphere food and staff very accommodating. After covid we have a different chef and menu change. Menu very restricted for people with dietary requirements. The last time I went was in August. I have...

This pub has very little character, you could be in any chain pub anywhere in Britain, that said, it does exactly what it is supposed to do

Came here recently with friends from out of the area and wasn’t disappointed. They were all impressed by the food, and the service. Slight hiccup with the mince pie arriving as a cheese pie but swiftly sorted and no harm done. A few had the...

I booked a table for four at the dressers arms today for myself and my partner and my daughter and her partner and we all chose the carvery and it was excellent value, the meats where cooked to perfection and the roast potatoes and veg...

We stop here regularly and it is a joy to have everything together on the same door step. The beds are comfy and the two restaurants the chines above and the pub restaurant are very good.

Had a great breakfast this morning which was nicely presented and plentiful. Great to see a pub opening for breakfast; deserves to be busier as the service was good. One comment coffee could be more stronger

We booked to stay overnight at the dresser’s arms on 13th August. There are 10 rooms available. The guests staying in the other rooms arrived at 3.20am and proceeded to make an excessive amount of noise - slamming doors, playing loud music, swearing, shouting -...

I have been going to Dressers for years regular especially before covid. I was disappointed when they reopened and some favourite dishes from the menu had gone and my choice was limited as I have dietary restraints and it did reduce our visits. However today...

It's been a long time since we last ate at the Dressers. We were expecting your average pub grub menu (much like our last visit), so we were really pleasantly surprised to find the food was anything but that. Our vegetarian curry was delicious and...

We have visited this pub going back many years, when it was in its original state & over the year's intermittently since. The current owner is such a polite welcoming chap, he treats his staff with equal respect which we admire. The food is just...

So we have now eaten here twice on a Sunday afternoon as a family group. The service has always been warm and friendly throughout the meal. The staff have been excellent with the children, addressing them directly and engaging. Makes them feel part of a...

My son had nothing planned for his 44th birthday so I suggested a visit to the Dressers Arms, which we had not visited since the fire in 2014. Walking into the bar was just like the old days, superbly refurbished. Service was attentive and swift,...

We ate at the Dressers this week, we were very lucky as they let u stay overnight in our motorhome. The steak deal with the wine was excellent value but more than that it was the best steak I have eaten in years. Staff were...

We hadn't booked as we had just been for a long walk, the gentleman that met us was extremely pleasant and fortunately we got a table but had to finish in two hours as it had been reserved. On our table were two other reservations...

This is a busy place so get organised and book early. We went on Sunday to celebrate a 30th birthday but we booked in advance. We arrived on time and sat down on time. We had pre booked to make it easier and it was....

A group of us stopped by for a quick drink on Sunday. This is a real hidden jewel. Didnt eat here, but will be doing soon. Staff are great and felt very welcome.

Went to the Dressers this teatime for the first and last time Initially all well, drinks and menu pretty quick Starters Ok and we both ordered sunday roasts My wife came cold and she politely asked for it to be re heated We came to...

Called in for lunch. Good choice of food which was excellent quality staff friendly and relaxing atmosphere. One slight negative (and l mean slight) was the lack of decaffeinated coffee.

Not been to this pub once and received nice service from the female bar staff member, really rude & arrogant. Given the wrong drinks, returned to the bar to let them know, not even an apology when replaced. Shame as the food service staff are...
