Emmott Arms in Pendle

I visited the Emmott Arms in October. I love that this restaurant is independently owned (not many are!) and the food is so fresh and delicious. They have an excellent choice of options on the menu, and a roaring fire, perfect for the colder weather. I had the chicken Kiev this week which was lovely. I have also ordered the crispy beef in the past which is amazing.

Walked in the door at 8.02pm. Just arrived from Chicago. Told us the kitchen closed 2 minutes prior. Would not serve us food. Been a regular on our previous trips. Still have a home here. Been in this pub hundreds of times. We're here every couple of months. It's down the street from our house. I will never cross the threshold of this pub ever again. Terrible customer appreciation.

Been walking in Wycoller Park and needed somewhere to eat. This was one of the closest and sounded great.....lo and behold it was perfect. We arrived in two separate cars and plenty of parking at the side and front of the pub. Walked in and warmly greeted, sat down ordered drinks and provided with menues. We opted for tap water and one decaff coffee. The coffee was gorgeous as was the accompanying buttery shortbread biscuit. We ordered salmon, brocolli and potatoes with a smoked salmon sauce; what arrived were 2 smoked haddock, with golden poached eggs, spinnach and some kind of crispy concoction accompanied by a smokey sauce. We tried to catch the young ladies eye but she was busy so we just went for it.....boy oh boy...so tasty!!! No specific details for the dish as it doesnt show on the menue but honestly, just shows you can turn up and love anything they put in front of you! Pudding was jam roly poly!! Yes proper suet stuff not the usual sponge pretending to be JRP! The vanilla custard was wonderful, creamy and vanillary. The staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. We will return in January to walk to the Atom and definitely return here for another surprise meal. Dont be fooled, looking around at the meals on nearby tables, they all looked scrumptious so who cares whats on offer!

5/5 top dining great menu super food excellent service from Ellie all round great experience - salt and pepper wings crispy and spice hinted Fish chips and mushy peas ! White fluffy fish crisp batter and proper chips ! Cheese and onion pie crisp case cream cheese and lots of onions perfectly balanced and not greasy like some ! Tuesday treat !

What a good surprise to visit for the first time and find such a good place for lunch A varied menu to suit most palates --- we were all pleasantly satisfied with our choices Well prepared and served nicely We will definitely visit again

We went today for my son's birthday . I thought the portion was very disappointing my son got the Kiev just with a bit of mash and tiny bit of broccoli which was hard .my other son's the same hard . Don't no id it was cos it was the end of the day but the food in general was poor

A fantastic local pub with incredible food and brilliant staff. Just me and my dog, they always bring a water bowl and a treat. I had the Sunday lunch, it’s genuinely the best locally and the steak was cooked to perfection.

My parents and I decided we wanted to try somewhere new for a lunch out. I got it down to 3/4 but we are all pleased The Emmott Arms was our final choice. The staff were attentive and helpful, the food was delicious- and not overly priced- and the music also was ‘not in your face’.

Excellent menu which was very well cooked and presented. I had the Korean chicken which was outstanding and the rest of the family similarly enjoyed their choices.

Visited on a Thursday night following a number of recommendations. Food great. Quality. Beautifully cooked and presented. Genuine welcome and service. Lots of regular customers around and made to feel very welcome throughout. Rump steak amazing, Cut fist thick and cooked to perfection. Assume there is a special farm somewhere close where beef cattle are laid to pasture in a secret alpine valley, their runps massaged with butter every hour. It needs a chew, its rump. Worth the workout. Unfettered genius. Five stars. Cant wait to go back.

We had the 2-course lunch deal. High-quality food, a lovely setting. Would recommend. Service was top-notch and real Ale to boot, what more could you ask for?

A stunning transformation! We have been visiting here for +30 years, and the place has now transformed into an atmospheric, modern, and stylish dinning pub. The food is excellent. The menu is relatively limited; I find that a limited menu is usually a good sign, it is better to do a few things well (rather than do lots of things badly). The choice of dishes is as impressive as it is creative, with options for everyone. We will be back, highly recommended.

Fabulous meal and great service. This was a surprise find - first impressions made me wonder, but Jess and Will were very pleasant and helpful staff and our 4 meals were tasty, generous and delicious. I had the tuna (best I’ve ever eaten) and my relatives ate the Asian beef, the mince and onion pie and the lamb back strap. All were delicious! We finished the meal off by sharing sticky toffee pudding - a very generous portion with delicious banana ice cream. Well worth the visit to celebrate a birthday. This will go on our list for more regular visits in future.

Visited today following a recommendation from a friend. What a great find. Superb and varied menu. Lunch menu such good value for money. Service spot on. Very nicely decorated and comfy chairs in the bar area. Beer garden out the back as well as front. Very generous portions. Will be back!

Ordered steak pie. Chips nearly broke my teeth. No one came to check if the meal was ok. Girl came over to collect the plates and I mentioned the chips to her and received a smile. Disappointing visit.

We came for Sunday roast and as always it didn't disappoint.We all had Lamb Henry .The whole dish was cooked to perfection .We would highly recommend a visit to the Emmott Arms for food and drinks The staff were all attentive to our needs .looking forward to our next visit

A nice modern environment with good service. Food was served piping hot, with sensibly sized portions. The pies were very good and the vegetables cooked well. The biggest negative was having a pool of single cream (over peas) next to a pool of gravy and pie. Quite odd! But I don’t want to be negative. It was a good night out in a good quality eatery which is quite rare these days. Look forward to going back.

Brilliant service, fab pub and great food! Really enjoyed it and will be back again, great food options and the staff where very friendly and helpful.

Excellent service from start to finish and Ellie was particularly polite and helpful. We had a starter and main and everything was absolutely delicious and great quality. No complaints what so ever. Looking forward to coming again soon.

Called in here on the off chance on the way back from work trip. WOW, everything from start to finish was amazing. Definitely would recommend! Food great!!!

We have had a wonderful evening out at the Emmott Arms. We were a table of 9 and absolutely everyone really enjoyed their meal. We booked here due to the excellent feedback on Trip Advisor and were not disappointed. The menu is reassuringly selective so you know you are getting proper home cooked food, not frozen meals. Worth every penny. Thank you to all.

Fantastic food with only one gripe...the portions are not consistent. I had the duck starter and there was barely any duck on the plate and could only fill (sparingly) 2 of the 4 pancakes. However, the lady on the table next to us had a massive pile of duck and had enough to eat after the pancakes had been filled. The main I had was the absolutely amazing Crispy Beef (highly recommend), however mine was twice the size of my friends sat next to me, which she wasn't happy about at all. Overall, the service is amazing and the food is out of this world and would definitely go back. Can't rate as anything less rhan excellent even with the above feedback.

Basic lunch menu. Plenty of choice providing you like meat and bread. Very quiet, only two tables occupied. Decor very basic, stone floors, hard chairs and no curtains. Staff polite and pleasant. Ok for a change but I wouldn’t made it a regular venue.

Managed to get a last-minute booking for Sunday lunch after being out walking. It was our first-time here and we were blown away...quite simply the best roast beef dinner we've ever had; great pint too. Also great choice of music in the background and at a perfect volume. Great food, drink, music in a proper pub. Thank you, we will be back.

Brilliant as always, food is absolute spot on. We’ve been several times over the past few weeks for the festive menu as the choice is brilliant. We often take our dog who is happy to sit near the fire.

Our 2nd visit within a month. This. Time I had the Beef n Reef. Beautiful beef and sweet scallops. My wife totally loved the Triple Beef. Got to say it looked lovely. What a gorgeous place to eat. Food is incredible, service is brilliant, staff are so nice. Can’t wait to return and the triple beef.

We booked at fairly short notice for a group of 8 for a family birthday, following a recommendation and we were not disappointed. The staff were amazing, friendly, polite and nothing was too much trouble. The food - wow!!!! Everyone in our party enjoyed everything they ordered. Good portions of well cooked delicious fresh food. Will definitely come back, and will recommend to anyone looking for a great dining experience. Thank you to all concerned.

Another lovely lunch here; great food, very friendly service and tasty dishes to suit most tastes. Lovely comfort food I had the beef & guiness suet pudding with delicious mash and sweet red cabbage. Tasty desserts too. Can highly recommend this pub for a lovely meal.

This is becoming one of our favourite places to eat. This is the third time I have visited in as many months. This time to eat off the lunch menu. Great starter of well cooked perfectly seasoned wood pigeon. Just slightly pink with a selection of mushrooms that had obviously been cooked in the same pan and absorbed so much flavour. A Sausage sandwich on home made ciabatta with blue cheese and chutney. Surprisingly the blue cheese was the star. An interesting combiation that will not be quickly forgotten. Good and cripsy fries too. For pudding Jam Roly Poly and what my Grandma would have called 'Proper Yellow Custard' This is not a dish for the feint hearted. Perhaps it is to the English Dessert Eater what Lava Bread is to the Welsh Breakfast or Haggis to a Scottish Dinner. It raises a Agincourt Salute to the modern fashion of light, palate cleansing sweets designed to refresh and enliven and leaves you dosing in a big chair and sleeping it off. Fantastic!

Passing on the way back from Skipton, fancied a Sunday roast and saw this was on Tripadvisor as highly rated so took a chance and glad we did. The tables were clean and service quick, a nice girl with blonde hair and braids served us and was very efficient. Our food arrived on large plates, not much of any one veg but it was surprisingly filling, the lamb was falling off the bone, gravy so rich and flavoursome, broccoli sweet and perfectly cooked, parsnips so sweet, the yorkshire was large and roasties crispy. Could have done with a little more mash and puree but it was nice and as I say very filling, the whole dish was an autumnal seasonal delight created with good ingredients and thought to create a rich and flavoursome dish.

Me and my partner visited on Saturday 23rd September for a last minute meal and were blown away by the food. We would have happily paid more for the quality that we got... Unreal! Can't wait to go back and try more of the amazing menu!

WOW! Came to the area for.my birthday, decided to come to this pub.. even with our 2 dogs the welcome was warming! Great atmosphere, great staff, & AMAZING FOOD!!!! Ordered steak, which usually I will avoid unless I know I'm guaranteed perfect! Well, just to say CHEERS CHEF!!!!!!! absolutely 💯% done to perfection! We live approx 45 mins away, I am now prepared to drive to this place JUST for the food! Thanks so much!

Had two lunches here and the last one I have to say was the best meal out I can remember: fantastic sea bass with chorizo and pea risotto. Living quite close I'm going to have to be careful not to keep going back too often

Just been to the emmott arms for lunch with family and all had the best meals! Vegetarian friendly (halloumi burger was delicious) and service was very good and welcoming :)

Food was amazing and excellent value for money Great choice of beers Lancashire cheese and onion pie is to die for We will be back !!

We came here for dinner as it was recommended by a friend. There was a couple of large parties celebrating birthdays when we arrived and it was super noisy but they soon left which was a blessing. The food was extremely good and a good mix on the menu between pub classics and an Asian inspired menu. I love trying new dishes so for Main had the Pan Roast Duck Breast & Pork Wontons, Hot & Sour Broth with Crispy Noodles... We met Mike the Manager upon paying the bill and he was such a nice guy. It was Deeeeelish!! We would defo recommend and will defo return.

Very good all round. 7 of us in total and the food quality was excellent, service was good. My wife and boys said the ice cream desserts were silly good!! Happy to recommend.

Stopped here as staying up the road. The staff are very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The food was divine.. I had the chicken wings for starters with the honey sauce, which had beautiful crispy skin.. and my wife had the muscles which...

Beautiful food and great service In a pub setting the tables were very basic it would be nice to see solid wood but we are here for the food and the deserts too are fabulous

Delicious food and great service. We both had the steak - one with a mushroom sauce and one with a blue cheese sauce - they were both wonderful. Would definitely return.

Came here for lunch when visiting the area. Nice outside space for lunch on a warm day. Staff were very friendly and we enjoyed the falafel and duck wraps - decent size portions for lunches. Good beer selection too.

Honestly can’t speak highly enough of this little gem. We walked here for tea from our campsite not knowing what to expect but the (vegan) beer was good and the food and service were amazing. Fish and chips in a pub could be average but...

Fantastic food and service. We all had something different in a group of 5 and it was all perfect. Well cooked and tasty and perfect portions.

As a gastro-pub the food on offer is far above the standard you might expect. A welcoming venue ideal for meeting up with friends. The menu is varied and four of us all shared a 'nibbles' board which was great. Main courses were very good,...

Lovely food the lamb Henry was to die for the best Sunday roast by far. My husband had the burger and said it was delicious too. Dog friendly
