Malthouse Farm in Chorley

Great friendly staff, nothing too much trouble, service and food first class. Prices not bad, worth the visit. Good setting, worth a walk up to the locks,

Fabulous meal of Duck Pie with a bottle of Malbec. Excellent service from Ahmet as usual. We took our dog so sat by the log fire which is a dog friendly area

Came here last week (Wednesday) and had a lovely meal with family, the lady serving us (Debs) was very friendly and professional and made sure we all enjoyed our afternoon. The food was amazing. Will definitely be going there again.

I visited the malt House Farm with friends last week and was greeted by a lovely lady called Debs. She sat us at our table and made sure we was comfortable before taking our order. The food was lovely, Debs who looked after us was lovely and everybody enjoyed their afternoon. We will be returning again soon.

Amazing food and service in a cosy atmosphere. Harry was very attentive & nothing was too much trouble for him. I had the chicken & bacon in a sweet sauce which was delicious. I would highly recommend.

Lovely tea. Mariangela was great welcoming and helpful. Food was very tasty and arrived fast considering we only ordered mains which can be a pain for chef. Will be back

Food was hot and delicious. Good choice on menu and tempting specials too. Fair price for amount of food. Drinks expensive. Staff lovely

First evwr visit. We was served my a lovely young lady called lucy, she couldn't do enough for us. The food was amazing, will definitely be going back.

Visited a few days ago, the interior is good and the staff are friendly. I had steak which I wasn't too impressed with, it was very well seared so had a burnt taste on the outside. My girlfriend had fishpie which she loved. The pricing is expensive, but if you use the different vouchers/discounts they offer, it become much more reasonable.

First time visiting malthouse farm after receiving a pub voucher and looking online at where I can use it. I wasn’t disappointed at choosing somewhere I’d never been before - What a fabulous place! Beautiful setting by the canal in a gorgeous old style cozy country pub. We were served by Harry who was lovely and friendly and the Food was excellent! Will definitely be visiting again soon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Malthouse Farm Pub is always a great experience. Lovely decor throughout and multiple outdoor areas for dining or a quiet drink. With stunning views. We've been many times before. Yesterday, we were looked after by Debs,who was very charming and a helpful host. And also Ahmed found us a lovely table near the open fire, The risotto and mushroom pie were both delicious 😋 and very well priced. I noticed other guests were treated very well too. After a long sunny autumnal walk through the natural beauty of White Coppice, this was the perfect finish to our day. Tucked away behind the canal, this is a real gem in Chorley and Lancashire. Highly recommend.

After recently visiting the malthouse recently we had an excellent meal which we found value for money. The fish and chips were fantastic for a pub. Service from Ahmet was very friendly and considerate without being overpowering. Pat behind the bar offered greet service with a smile, what more could you ask for. Now the fires are on, the Malthouse provides a cosy homely atmosphere. We will be back again.

I recently visited The Malthouse, and it was an outstanding experience. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a charming rustic decor that made it feel cozy and inviting. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, a special shout out to Lucy who ensured that we were well taken care of throughout our visit always with a smile on her face! The food was fantastic, with a great selection of traditional pub dishes and some modern twists. I particularly enjoyed the fish and chips, which were cooked to perfection with a crispy batter and tender, flaky fish. The drink selection was impressive as well, with a wide range of ales, beers, and spirits to choose from. Overall, The Malthouse is a top-notch pub that offers excellent food, drinks, and service. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal or a few pints with friends. Highly recommended!

Nice venue, went for some lunch got served by lucy she was lovely and got us everything we needed😁 we had the steak sandwich and fish pie they was both delicious. Will be returning👍🏼

Had a lovely lunch here today. The food was delicious, service from Debs was very efficient and friendly. Lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommend

Nice pub, up to the usual Chef&Brewer standard. Also it's in a lovely position right next to the canal.

Great pub/restaurant, so cozy, great staff and the food is amazing

Lunch time trip with great food and friendly service from Debs. Thanks.

Good spot for a drink. Food was disappointing

Ahmet was a wonderful waiter, service was great.

Excellent meal and service again at The Malthouse, Ahmed is such a great guy, I highly recommend this place!

Our server was Debs and she was very welcoming and helpful and made the experience 10 fold better. The food was delicious.

We have eaten here many times over the years but last night's food was poor. We did leave feedback at the time too. The fish pie was so watery I had to eat it with a spoon, tasty, but, I didn't order soup. The squid starter was very greasy. My husband had a burger and the bun disintegrated. We did get a free pint though with a QR code offer and we used Tesco vouchers, so, didn't pay too much for a below par meal. Might try elsewhere next time

Dropped in here for lunch yesterday and it was lovely. Debs served our table and she was excellent. Highly recommend.

Food was OK but very little on the plate. It said salad with meal, but you only got a garnish. Salad should be salad.

What a beautiful place, very scenic, peaceful, and alongside a canal ,food was amazing 👏

Me and my partner went for lunch on Tuesday. I was absolutely lovely and was made more enjoyable by our waitress debs she really went above and beyond made sure everything for to our satisfaction and we had plenty of drinks etc would definitely recommend it we will be back real soon thank you went again on Tuesday with Mt sister for lunch couldn't decide what to have Vos everything looked delicious so our waitress debs recommend the fish pie n boy was it good debs really looked after is made sure we had enough drinks etc and our food was ok she is a real asset to the pub will deffo be back again please pass on my thanks to debs

We were served by kirstie and we were very happy with the service and the food! Staying at the hotel next door and would certainly recommend to others!

We stopped in for a quick bite on our way to Harrogate. The atmosphere was lovely. The food was delicious. Our server, Emma, was fabulous. My husband and I shared the chicken & bacon burger and the cheese toasty. We loved every bite! Thank you!

Absolutely love this place. Highly recommended. Service by debs was great and food delicious. Will be back soon. Have become a regular visitor here and it gets better every time. Visited again and cannot fault it x

Was disappointed with my meal tonight. Ordered roast rump which was a small portion and was cold. Sent back and ordered sirloin steak, was much better.

Vegan dish lacking, steak pie poor quality, and they served me an alcoholic beverage after asking for zero alcohol, which I drank unknowingly! Don't recommend.

Staff are very friendly. Food is excellent. Great sitting on the balcony in the sunshine with friends. Thanks to all the staff in the kitchen as well. Great place for dogs. We are regulars and would recommend the Malthouse to everyone V xx

Great non alcoholic drinks here

Have not eaten there, but a great place to stop for a refreshing drink after a long hot hike along the Leeds-Liverpool canal path

Family of 4, we went for lunch. They had ran out of several options on the menu, but it was still good! Have eaten there before and will do again!

A good place to eat, food was well prepared and the service was excellent

Very nice Sunday lunch,excellent cherry bakewell tart,good service, it's a lovely pub at the side of the canal nice & relaxing.

On arrival we were left waiting at the desk despite being walked past by members of staff. When we were seated we were told there was a number of dishes unavailable! There were 3 starters out of 6 unavailable which included the soup of the day! 4 mains were missing also, which left a very limited choice. I opted for crispy squid, my husband had pork terrine for starters. There was very little flavour and my squid came with mayonnaise instead of wild garlic mayonnaise. I finished my starter and the waiter took my plate; he then tried to take my husbands plate despite the fact he was still eating!! I decided on steak, I asked for rump but was told there was only sirloin. My husband asked for chicken breast wrapped in bacon. I asked for a beef dripping gravy as an extra. When the meals arrived my gravy (if you could call it that) was in a small jug, all 1cm of it!! I asked if I could please have some more; the staff member looked on the jug, then walked into the kitchen and announced table 22 are complaining about not having enough gravy! I did not complain, I politely asked for some more as I felt £1:99 for 1cm of gravy was slightly over priced; that and the fact I like plenty of gravy. I was given another jug this time with 3cm of gravy, slightly better but still not enough. My husband asked for vinegar and ketchup but did not get it, he had to ask another member of staff. We decided to skip dessert as we’d had such an awful experience with the food so far. We asked for the bill, I paid but then to top everything off I was charged for both jugs of gravy. I told the waitress who said she would sort it out: 10 minutes later, all members of floor staff had disappeared. We left the restaurant without the issue being solved!! I would avoid this establishment at all costs which is a shame as it is in a beautiful setting alongside the Premier Inn, Chorley North.

This might be my favourite pub I've ever been in. It's gorgeous inside and out, is set on the canal, has delicious food and the service is always second to none. Viki has looked after us so well these last few mornings and she's really made us smile and feel so welcome. Nothing is too much! It's so worth the 45 minute drive for us. It's also dog friendly! So you can go for a beautiful wander down the canal and end it with a drink and some food. We'll be back soon with the doggo.

Lovely lunch here today, Emma, who served us was lovely

Unfortunately the food I had wasn’t great which is a shame as I’ve had good food here in the past.

Had a great meal on Friday night - couldn’t fault the service from Kirstie

We popped into Malthouse Farm last week, and it was top-notch! The food was spot on, and Mia Lee's service was just fantastic. Definitely worth a visit for some good eats and great service!

I highly recommend the malthouse. We both had fish & chip (best I’ve had), 4 drinks. £43.00. Oh and a desert. 😋😋👍🏻👍🏻

Unfortunately the standard of food has dropped. Haven't been for a while but thought I would give it a try again. The starter was supposed to be crispy onions with Rosemary and chive chicken strips. The batter was so tough and had definitely been cooked a lot earlier if not the day before. The steak was good but the salad was not fresh. Service was brilliant. Won't be going here again in a hurry which is a shame.

Absolutely outstanding! From the beginning to the end, we were celebrating my daughter’s GCSEs results & enrolment to further education. Couldn’t have asked for better service (from Patrick) to the environment & exceptional food done to perfection (not easily done!)

A wonderful meal and experience! Don’t miss if you have the chance to eat here! Elevated and delicious pub food! Excellent service, we loved Mia Lee and would come back in a heartbeat! Highly recommended!

We came into the malthouse last week for an evening meal, the food was great the burger was perfect and we were served by a lovely Mia Lee who helped us with everything we needed 10/10 evening

Wonderful, elevated pub food! Charming ambiance and excellent service! Mia Lee was our server and she took great care of us! Highly recommended!!

You’re always met with a warm welcome at The Malthouse. Debs and staff couldn’t be lovelier. The food never misses, the atmosphere is spot on and the drinks selection has something for everyone. Will definitely be back again soon!

Another lovely meal at the Malt House last week - best restaurant in town. Big thank you to the lovely Debs who looked after us and is always such a joy. She’s amazing - super friendly, professional, always smiling and always makes sure everything is running smoothly. Thank you Debs! We’ll be back again soon.

Food is always great. Harry was excellent and looked after us the whole time.

Definitely the best Chef and Brewer I have been to. Great location by the canal, food well cooked, tasty, and enjoyed by all. Pleasant atmospheric restaurant. Staff efficient and friendly on what was clearly a very busy evening. Tesco's vouchers used making it a bargain.

Just a few words regarding Debbie who treated us with great hospitality and warmth also fantastic humour. Would highly recommend the Malthouse

Food wasn't great ordered mixed grill the steak I asked for was more well done than rare the egg was overcooked so everything was very dry we dined as a family and was very disappointed with the overall service and food, not one person asked during our meal if everything was ok or even when I’d left most of my meal overall disappointed and definitely won’t be recommending or returning to this place

Over the last six years or so, due to work commitments I often stay at the adjoining Premier Inn & the team at The Malthouse Farm have become friends....they always have a welcoming smile . The food, service atmosphere & friendship is wonderful. Sharon, Kirstie, Patrick & Ahmed amongst the others, thank you 💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💕

Went our for lunch with my daughter, granddaughter and friend. We sat outside and was served my Debra. Honestly she made our experience amazing. Can't recommend her enough.

Couldn’t recommend this restaurant/pub more! Excellent food and service! I have to say a huge thank you to Debs our waitress who served us and recommend the most amazing food! She’s lovely, attentive and funny! We will definitely be coming back! 😁

Beautiful setting. Mia Lee was very pleasant and helpful. Food wonderful. Highly recommend

Nice menu, dog friendly and great service. Many thanks 😊

Lovely dinner out today with my little girl. Debs was the most amazing host and server. She made my experience amazing.

We live a fair way away so visit once a month the food always consistent and staff good in particular our waitress debs she is non stop super attentive I f I had a pub I would head hunt her for my place really good

loved it, food was great and kristie was amazing as our waitress

I went out for tea with my husband for my 14th wedding anniversary and was made to feel extra special by our host debs thank you for being so intention and making sure our night was perfect 😍

Had a great laugh will go again in

Debbie alway makes it a good experience and very good service.

My go to place in Chorley. The staff and surroundings are absolutely fabulous. The service and food is top notch. Recommend booking a table as it’s a popular eatery!

Brilliant family place on the canal and food top notch. Beautiful seats sat right on the canal and perfect for summer. Staff always friendly, especially Debra who cannot do enough for us every time we come! Highly recommended for just a drink or a Saturday night meal out!

Came in last week for lunch food was delicious. Served by debs who friendly and went above and beyond.

Great pub, and great food & service 👌

A lovely meal last night and back again on Sunday for their lovely roasts. Atmosphere, service and food excellent as always but the welcoming we always get from Sharon and Ahmet just makes us always want to go back. A few things taken off the menu such as lasagne are missed but apart from that lovely as always Janine

Busy place creating an interesting atmosphere but food over priced for what we got, very dry chicken and over done veg, plus side fog friendly, and staff were attentive.

Lovely catch up with relatives, great food and atmosphere. Thanks Debs for the amazing service.

Great service by Ahmet. Beautiful location and food. Can’t wait to return

The pub is so cosy and welcoming inside. And the beer garden overlooks the canal, which is stunning! The staff aren't very attentive, took them a while to show us to our table and give us menu's. Whilst we were waiting for our food to arrive, the pub got busy, and people were waiting a while to be seated and served at the bar. The food was okay. I ordered the duo of chicken with wild rice, cucumber, and rocket salad and kimchi. It was a small portion for £16. My husband ordered the lamb shank shepherds pie, and he was disappointed. He said he felt like the pie had been warmed up, and the vegetables on the side tasted funny. His was £23.50. Also, they gave us a special menu of 4 items, and two of them weren't available. We thought we'd try it as I got a voucher for a free meal. Unfortunately I won't be going again.

Visited the malthouse today and the service was fabulous, food delicious. Love this pub

Beautiful setting, excellent food!

The pubs itself is in a nice location, the beer is very overpriced even more expensive than most bars and restaurants in Manchester city centre. The staff, aren't the most friendly bunch to say the least. I have been here before a number of times, but due to my last experience I wont be visiting again in a rush. Food is standard pub grub nothing amazing.

Although this part of the Chef & Brewer change this venue has stood the test of time. No doubt this is because they consistently offer great food, beer and service. Once again our latest visit proved once again how good this venue is. From our welcome and being shown to our table, to the excellent service we received and our food was cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend the fish platter for sharing. Will be looking forward to our next visit when I'll be considering and overnight stay in the adjoining Premier Inn.

Booked a table for Sunday Evening at 7pm. Was seated at our table to be told that virtually everything on the menu was unavailable. Apparently this is something that happens quite regularly as they "get really busy at weekends" . Maybe if this is a constant issue you should prepare in advance and order more stock? We left and then spent over an hour driving around multiple restaurants at 8pm trying to get a table with no reservation. Also £9.90 for a pint and a half of Peroni ? Pretty poor

Lovely pub and setting. Have been coming here for many years. The foods always been nice and staff are always friendly and attentive. However after visiting today I noticed a change in the quality of the menu and food. Rather than restaurant style most of it is now 'pub grub'. I ordered the chicken pie off the specials menu and when served the pastry was still raw on top and the filling stone cold. It was sent back without issue and swapped for the steak pie off the main menu which was piping hot and very tasty. Unfortunately due to this I'm not sure if I'll be eating there again anytime soon.

I was booked in the Premier Inn next to the Malthouse, so after I checked in went next door for a drink and a meal got my drink then asked the front of house staff for a table and told they don't take walk ins, it wasn't even seven o'clock I think he didn't want a table took up for one because there was tables empty,!!!!

We visit the Malthouse most weeks and have never had a bad experience. The staff are exceptionally friendly, helpful and charming. The food is always good and reasonably priced. The seating area outside is fabulous and overlooks the canal. Glorious when the weather is good. They have a dog-friendly bar area and always have time for greeting the pooches and even have a ‘Mutt of the Month’ competition. This place has such a cozy setting inside and always a lovely atmosphere. Sharon and the team look after us here. See you soon :)

What a lovely pub restaurant, food and service was excellent and a great meeting place for friends. Varied menu and appealing surroundings. Will definitely come again.

Walked in to get some food on a Saturday night. Place was moderately busy, not packed. Went to get a drink at the bar but the staff seemed totally disinterested and unwelcoming. Our first interaction was to be told we were standing at the wrong part of the bar (I.e. where the pumps were viable so we could decide), so moved so they could ignore us in the correct place. Gave up after a while and walked out and went elsewhere.

Nice food and excellent staff. July 2024 - I've been here a few times to meet up with friends and it is consistently good, I travelled 54 miles to get here. There is a chef and Brewer less than 10 miles from my house but the food and dining experience is never as good as the Malthouse.

Fantastic food, I don't have a big appetite and I was able to order a small portion of the Sunday Roast. It was delicious, totally recommended. The bakewell tart dessert was amazing!

A great restaurant/bar in a good location. Food good and some quality cask beers. Dog bar with biscuits and water.

Ahmet and the other staff are so helpful, polite and friendly every time we come here. The food is always piping hot, sufficient portions and very tasty. The seating area throughout is clean and tidy and the bonus of the outdoor seating area near the canal. Ahmet is always happy to assist us even to the point of helping with our drinks when we sat outside Thank you guys

First visit and everything from the staff to the food and service can only be described as perfect. We will definitely call back

Great team, tasty food and great location beside the canal - thank you 😊

lovely setting and really nice staff. highly recommend.

Nice country pub, table service lovely food

Love this place. Fab views of the canal with great food. Staff always very attentive and cant do enough for you. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Trying to figure out why you can never walk into this pub and ask for drink,if you have to order a drink outside then surely it's not a public house,several occasions this has happened what's the point in turning up..

We have been coming here for many years and it has always been a big favourite of ours , although tonight wasn't a good experience some of the staff were very helpful and some were slow and not trained correctly we waited ages for menus then drinks , we had to ask for cutlery on 2 occasions for starters and mains and then one of our meals wasn't put through .I had steak it wasn't the best for the price . Every table near us had a problem and were getting free drinks or money knocked off. So disappointed on this occasion and I have never been when it was this quiet before .

Turned up just after the kitchen had closed. The chap at the entrance still checked with the kitchen if they'd do me something. They agreed to and I appreciated the fact I wasn't rushed and was given free choice from the menu. The fish and chips was decent and hit the spot. Good pint too. Visited 23rd June, would be grateful if you could thank the team for me.

Gorgeous building/decor, in a beautiful location on the canal. Warm efficient service, food arrived surprisingly fast considering how busy it was. I had the bacon/cheese burger and it was DIVINE. Refreshing to have proper cheese on a burger and the bacon was perfectly crispy and smoky. Served by Charlotte, who was excellent despite being brand new.

We have been going here for a good few years now and never really had a bad meal until today. Special meal for my birthday and left feeling disappointed and very underwhelmed. What has gone wrong? Will not be recommending or returning.
