The Nabs is back on the map! Visited today for Sunday lunch and boy did it not disappoint. A warm friendly welcome with attentive staff, the place is spotlessly clean and the freshly cooked food is delicious. I had the prawn cocktail for starters and the roast beef dinner with a side of the best cauliflower cheese I’ve ever had. There was no room for pudding , well maybe a little taste of my husbands 😊 he had a sticky toffee pudding and ice cream which he said was absolutely lovely and very light which was perfect after a hearty meal. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Whilst my wife and I were enjoying a very enjoyable drive through the local countryside we were delighted to see that the Nabs Head was open again and serving food We have very fond memories of pre-covid visits, so we soon made a reservation. The new team at the pub were very friendly, there is a very well stocked bar with a wide range of drinks. My wife really enjoyed the pinot grigio (large glass x2 of course!), whilst as nominated driver I enjoyed a large glass of diet coke. Pub decor is very warm and welcoming, and to the staffs credit very clean and tidy, always a good sign. My wife chose the firecracker prawns for a starter and I chose the Bury Black Pudding, neither of us was disappointed, the food arrived promptly, was beautifully presented and hot, just like it should be! For main course my wife had the lasagne, she commented that it was delicious and probably one of the best she had tasted for some time. I had the peppered steak pie which was truly outstanding, I could have eaten another three slices! to make things better they substituted skinny fries instead of thick cut chips without any fuss. We really enjoyed our early evening meal and look forward to returning soon to try other items on the menu Would recommend without hesitation -back at the centre of the hamlet like a true English pub should be!!

We have visited here multiple times over six years, before, during (in the tent outside) and after Covid, with different tenants. I was delighted to see it had reopened, and have visited several times since October 23. Food and service has always been excellent. Menu is perhaps less wide ranging than previously, with pizzas and curries missing. But there is still a good range of classic pub food, done very well.

All in all a great place to dine. A lovely log burner certainly adds to the establishments charm. My personal recommendation a definite 5*

Our first visit since lindsay took over. We used to come regularly when Michael was here but after closure and the first re opening we have not visited. We came with a friend and our 3 dogs , the lunch menu looked great but we asked if any specials were on. After checking in kiitchen my hunt had sea bass and king prawns. It was beautiful. Hassel back potatoes and the trimmings. I had the chichen supreme with black pudding and medley of veg etc and our friend had chicken bacon ciabbata with fries etc . I can honestly say it was the best pub meal we have had in ages. Thanking you so much . The staff were lovely , helpful and attentive. It was a pleasure to meet lindsay too. We will be back soon .

3 of us went, Tuesday 19th August 2020 taking advantage of the 'Help Out To Eat Out' deal. On arrival, hand sanitizer at the door and another inside the little establishment. We had booked for 7pm, we were 5 minutes early. The waitress was around, another working behind the bar. Stood there which seemed like ages, waiting for them to ask the name of the party booked, to be seated. Puts you on edge, with the current situation. No starters, were ordered. At the moment they have a reduced menu, like many places. So hubby got 'Large' Cheese and Onion pie with Chips and Beans. Son a Southern Fried Chicken Burger and myself Roast Beef Dinner. Would like to see what the small Cheese and Onion Pie comes as, not very large at all. Nevertheless husband said it was nice. But, didn't like the Chips. Maybe just personal taste. Chicken Burger also nice, apparently. The Roast Beef dinner, plenty of meat which was just satisfactory I guess. Didn't taste like it had been roasted off a joint. Then again, was mid week. The potatoes were appalling, 'mash' full of loads of hard potato pieces, 'roast' chip panned, but very nice Home made Yorkshire Pudding and decent fresh vegetables. One dessert was ordered, son loved it and was demolished in mins. With more attention, this place where we have visited frequently over the last 20 years, more so before the take over, could be a very good/excellent eating place.

We've tried quite a, few of the dishes on the menu in the last month and ALL have been equally delicious and none have been below par.The soup is usually excellent. The pate is flavoursome and not too smooth. The prawns are amazing. Equally the cajun chicken goujons is a good size and fills the spot.Recommended from the mains are the fried chicken special the southern fried and salt and pepper are spiced cooked perfectly. The large gammon is fantastic value and plenty big enough. The homemade cheese and onion pie is tasty and the pastry is superb. The beer battered haddock is absolutely phenomenal. Crispy and huge again excellent value. Another hearty favourite is the chilli with rice and chips spiced just perfectly. My ultimate favourite is the cajun chicken salad main which is the best I have ever eaten, anywhere.We don't often eat a pudding but the salted caramel ice cream is delicious.Preferred drinks are Warsteiner and Fosters which are kept and served by the Landlord to the highest possible standards.The place is spotless. Modern. Comfy seating. A real village pub. Welcoming and friendly staff. Outside eating and inside are both covid observed and a pleasant atmosphere.It's very reasonable in price and cheaper than other pubs/restaurants locally. Their food really is delicious and I have never seen or heard a single customer complain in the slightest. Very good for family meals and they have a beer garden and a marque. Creative specials board and I think it was venison burger, beer braised steak or gammon which all sound tempting. Top tip ring and book ahead it can get fully booked it's that good

We took my mother here on Sunday for lunch and the food was excellent, I had the ribs with Southern fried chicken and when the meal arrived my first reaction was Wow this was certainly a full plate of food and the quality was just as good. my mother had a ham egg and salad and my partner had the Lasagne and we all thought the food was excellent. We have been here a few times now and we always find the landlord and his staff very pleasant and the food maintains a high standard keep up the good work and we will see you again in the future Well Done

We came for a meal with some of our neighbours [10 in total], we hadnt been for a long time but after our visit we will definately be back. The guy behind the bar was great & seemed to do everything from running the bar, bringing the meals out to clearing up afterwards. The starters were enjoyed by everyone & when the main courses arrived i was glad that i had opted for the smaller portion as i had plenty. I chose theLasagne which was excellent,,again everyone else enjoyed their meals too. The Chocolate fudge cake i had for afters was delicious & the Jam sponge was highly praised The place wasn't too busy when we arrived but filled up as the evening went on. Would highly recomend a visit.

The price was really reasonable, we pay the same prices for chain pub microwaved food at home... this was by far superior. We have 2 children aged 5 and 9 and the menu options for children were great, love it when it is not assumed children only like chicken nuggets and chips... whilst chicken goujons are an option, there were lots of other options inc smaller portions from the main menu. Don’t miss out on dessert!!!!!

We were staying in the Shepherds Huts at Samlesbury Hall and chose here for evening meal because it was within walking distance (for us anyway!) and dog friendly. Nice welcome from the barman/waiter on entering, who got our drinks and provided a bowl of water for our dog without us having to ask. Extensive menu choice with the usual pub classics together with a Pizza menu which seems popular as a couple of locals called in for a pint and ordered Pizza to take home with them. Mains arrived in good time, in fairness we had been warned of a longer wait than usual as everyone had arrived and ordered food at the same time, but the barman was doing a sterling job fetching food, clearing tables and serving at the bar !! Our mains were all lovely, I had read on here that someone had said that the pie he had was 'the best he'd ever tasted' and can honestly say the same about my Cheese Pine, it was gorgeous and served with excellent chips and baked beans. Another good idea is every dish being available in Small or Large size. Desserts were also very tasty. All in all an excellent place for a meal or drink and one we shall certainly return to

This is our group's second visit to the New Nab's Head and once again Michael and his staff catered for us splendidly. Firstly they facilitated our walking party by allowing us to meet on the car park before we set out. The pre-order was easily managed and we quickly set out to visit Samlesbury Hall before starting the six mile walk we had planned. On return we were given our own seating area and the food, which was delicious came to us quickly once we had ordered our drinks. The pub is tastefully decorated and furnished giving it a homely and welcoming atmosphere.

We were in the area, and having passed the sign pointing to the hostelry on the A59 opposite Salmesbury Hall, tried the Nabs Head for a spontaneous Saturday lunch. We arrived just after midday, and it filled up quickly, even that early. The menu is quite comprehensive, but the specials board had very interesting choices, including goat curry. From sandwiches to fish and chips, through pies, lasagne and curries, there must be something for everyone. Our meals were served promptly, by a friendly waitress. So, a nice eatery, but it seems also to be a hostelry for the villagers too. In the evenings, I’m sure that the fullsome selection of single malt whiskies will provide additional warmth.

Having found that this was a dog-friendly pub we headed off with our poodle (Bobby) and were suitably impressed. As well as the children's, there are 3 menus, main, ciabatta and pizza and smaller portion sizes are available for most items, which can be handy for some. We both plumped for ciabattas, which arrive with chips, coleslaw and salad garnish. We both struggled to finish our meals, despite Bobby's sterling efforts in helping in this respect, and both ciabattas were tasty and filling.

The food was good and reasonably priced. However, the service was appalling. We had to wait more than an hour for our main course and, when I complained, I was told that everyone was served in order and they were not prepared to offer a discount. We were certain that other customers had arrived after us and been served before us but the staff were not interested. The attitude of the staff was awful and completely spoiled what was to be a family meal before my daughter's local wedding the next day. Very disappointing.

Been here several times now whilst passing. The food is brilliant value for money and very good quality - some dishes are available as either a large or small portion. Lovely choice on the specials board too. This is quite a small pub so at busy times and especially weekends, to be sure of a table, booking would be advised. The only downfall of this very traditional pub is that the interior is very tired and dated looking. The wooden tables at the front of the pub could also do with a face lift as on busy summer evenings without booking these are the only tables available to use. We will keep returning though as the food is just great.

Have been here quite a few times over the last 12 months and have always had an excellent meal. Sometimes you just want to go somewhere that does good honest pub grub at a great price, and the Nabs doesn't disappoint. I'm a pie man and the mince and onion plate meat pie is just fantastic, great pastry and packed with delicious quality meat, and added to this you can have many options of how you get your potatoes and sides, and all at a really good price. Always made to feel welcome from the man behind the bar (the owner i think), and a great pint to bootSee you again soon

Small pub that serves gluten free food and knowledgeable staff. Service for food can be a little slow if pub over 1/2 full. Food portions large, even small portions and price very reasonable. Only negative comment I have is why serve tinned carrots?

Welcoming and comfortable pub with a good selection of ales, lagers, wines and spirits. Food menu is extensive and varied and portion sizes are huge! Even the small ones! The landlord and staff are extremely welcoming and polite, and always eager to cater for customers needs. The pub has a good mix of locals and not-so-locals, always making for a familiar and relaxed atmosphere in this cozy country pub.

Went today with walking party of 23 people. Friendly efficient service. Great Thwaites beer -well kept. Good basic pub food. Well cooked and presented. Lot of options on menu come in small and Large portion sizes - unless you have a gargantuan appetite small is more than enough. Pub is clean and had a lovely wood burning stove on the go.Would thoroughly recommend it.

My Wife and I visited The Nabs Head for Sunday Lunch whilst exploring the local countryside.The pub is in a rural location, and from the outside has the all the inviting appeal of a traditional British village pub. The Pub has a car park that I guess could accommodate about twenty cars or so. The interior is very clean and inviting, and has the warm traditional ambiance that immediately puts you at ease, bringing back happy memories of the heyday of the British pub. Definite plus point is that there is sufficient room between tables so you never feel hemmed in !When we visited trade was brisk, although with the assistance of a helpful young barman we managed to locate a table. If you are thinking of visiting with a larger group at popular times, it might be advisable to book in advance.Great range of traditional cask beers, as well as many other popular favourites. My Wife had a large glass of delicious Chilean Sauvignion Blanc, whilst I enjoyed choosing from a range of quality soft drinks, the elderflower was very refreshing indeed. There was a fixed card but also a number of specials highlighted on the board, we decided on this occasion to treat ourselves to the traditional Sunday Roast, and we were not disappointed. Food was hot, well presented and very tasty, The Roast Beef was very tender, and the portion size was not at all stingy. Roast potatoes and veg was done to perfection.Would recommend without hesitation, we are looking forward to our next visit, there is a well furnished vault if you decide to pop in just for a drink,Looking forward to trying out other items on the menu, and the wide range of alcoholic or soft drinks. With two main meals and drinks our bill came to a very reasonable £25 approx. Next time I think we will try the range of starters, and may even squeeze in a pudding if we have any room left!Staff very amenable and welcoming without being overbearing. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, a little oasis from the hectic day to day world.

Top quality pub grub in a nice environment. Lovely lad called Danny serving and await ng on. Well mannered and pleasant. Great choice of home made traditional fare at very reasonable prices. Salisbury gold cask ale in prime condition. Veg soup and pate to start. Steaks ale pie, chicken stuffed with black pudding. No room for spuds. Just off the main Blackburn Preston road and well worth the trip.

Felt it must be worthwhile visiting as it was on Nabs Head Lane!We were not disappointed tucked on a bend there were plenty of spaces in its roomy car park.We took a window seat and the young barman took our drinks and left us to choose our food order. Most dishes offered a choice of "small" or "large" we both opted for smalls and were glad we did as it was a struggle to finish. The barman, greeter, waiter and anything else one would like to mention was attentive,very good at all he did and was willing to learn. Virgin American Express cards were new to him and he now knows the reason so many places refuse them.My small bangers and mash in a Yorkshire pudding with onion gravy and garden peas were superb and very worth a return visit one day.Sadly my visit to the restroom was like entering a wardrobe and finding the bank manager already in it. Clean but not surprising as the whole thing was so small.

Yesterday we had a great meal in the .Nabs Head pub,we like the fact that you can choose the small portions at around £6 each. We still had a big plate of fresh veg and good choice of meat.It is only a small pub but a very wide choice on the menu.I had gammon with pineapple,chips,tomato,mushrooms,carrots and broccoli,my husband had the roast beef dinner and the meat was so tender with delicious looking roast potatoes,and freshly cooked veg,both cost £6.Coffee was £1.90,sadly didn't have room for dessert.We are already making a date to go back very soon,hope to see you there.

Pie chips and peas - sounds boring - this was lovely - well cooked and plenty of it. served in a brown dish with a disc of shortcrust pastry, a great serving of meat. I had the small portion £6 my friend had the large portion £8.25 and both were more than ample. Great price too. Pub is nice and clean, very friendly staff, service is excellent + they have a few cask beers I think there was 4. I will be going there again so much on the menu appealed to me. my friend had a pint of beer our total bill was £16.75.

Near the Salmesbury Hotel and does decent food and a decent bitter and has respectable prices. Dan behind the bar was very good, pulled a good pint. Off the beaten track but well worth a visit. Good parking.And the fish and chips! Marvellous.

We came here by chance after driving past a sign for the Nabs head, and we're glad we did.The lad behind the bar was very welcoming on our arrival. I ordered the the roast beef dinner and my husband had the cheese and onion pie. The food was great and plenty of it too. Service from the team was great, very attentive.We will definitely return again.

Like walking into a nightclub the music was so loud. Sulky staff had to be asked twice to turn it down. Then after 15 minutes we had to ask if they were serving food. 25 minutes later without eating we left. Everyone who came in after us got served whilst we waited and waited and waited and ……. Family had travelled from Bolton. What a nightmare place. I have been using Huntleys for breakfast for years. Never again. Zero Customer Care. They act like customers are a nuisance !
