Pendle Inn in Pendle

Food was awesome, service was friendly. Lovely location, beautiful surroundings. The Halloween decorations were great!!

Fabulous food & service as always.

Pendle Inn has a lovely cosy pub feel and the beer was wonderful. Staff were very friendly and helpful but it seemed short staffed. We waited nearly an hour for our food, then another wait for cutlery. The food itself wasn’t great quality. Steak was really tough. For what we paid we expected better

Ace pub. Good food and Thwaites beers.

Just came for a meal and had a poor experience. I have called for a pint on numerous occasions and thought a meal would be nice sometime but we were to be disappointed as we had such a long wait and it was so cold inside. The food wasn't great either, won't be dining there again.

Great pub, welcoming vibes, beautiful setting, full of walkers, dogs, families & oldies. We had the cheese & onion pie w.chips & mushy peas & it was so tasty & such a great portion size! Around £15. Staff were really lovely too 😊

It was a nice atmosphere. But the food could be a bit better. As it was very pricey for what you got.

Great pub selling Thwaites ales. A well-kept beer drank in front of a roaring log fire..The pub had a great menu, but having already eaten could not partake, although the meals being served to others looked amazing..Had to return the next day for more beer..

There was a hair in the food and a price of plastic in the ice cream

Very disappointing meal. Hot beef sandwich with fries. The meat was like shoe bottoms, full of gristle . Cheesecake looked like shop bought. £7.50 for the tiniest slice. Won't be going back any time soon. Service is very slow. Expected better from such a nice venue.

Well I don’t know what has happened to this place, it used to be so lovely and all home cooked.. tonight was a disaster, everything we ordered they had run out of, including chips, we were offered alternatives of whatever they had left, waited an hour for our food then we got it the fries were frozen fries which were cold and hard, the chicken burger was over cooked and chewy, when asked if everything was ok, they said they only had one microwave so food being delayed, obviously then all warmed up and you could tell it was, we have been coming here many years but sadly we won’t be returning for food again, it was awful from start to finish

Probably the best hot beef barm I’ve ever had , what a great pub & friendly staff . Definitely be driving the 50min to eat there again , thankyou

Fabulous country inn with excellent accommodation, good food & excellent service. We stayed in one of the small modern annexe cottages at the back of the car park (parking is free for guests) which has excellent facilities, warm and cosy, very comfortable bed and has a kettle, fridge and microwave if you want to bring food. There are some negative reviews on Trip Advisor on the food at this pub but we thought it was high quality, good menu and great service. We needed gluten freefood for one of us and there were choices of both GF and vege food. The pub is friendly, cosy , and has a distinctly countryside/ hiking / dog walking vibe . It is centrally positioned in the village of Barley, just a Mile walk to Newchurch-in-Pendle. There's another excellent pun a few yards away too on this charming village. We also recommend the Kabin , in the park area opposite, which does brilliant breakfasts including vegetarian and GF options , at a great price. We'll be back.

We meet at the Pendle Inn every year between Christmas and New Year for a family get together. The pub is well worth the travel, really good food, beer and wine at reasonable prices The staff are very friendly, helpful and attentive The pub is very dog friendly and our two dogs are always well looked after. We stay in one of the pubs cottages, they are just the right size for us two and our two dogs. A great place as a base for walking up Pendle Inn or stopping for a pint after the walk

Sunday lunch 3 courses for £25 , had a lovely homemade Stilton and broccoli soup to start with a fresh bread roll followed by a perfect roast beef dinner and the best chocolate brownie dessert I've ever had , great food and staff highly recommend

Good location to explore the area. Dog friendly. Had chips and cheese can't really do them wrong!

Was really disappointed on Sunday 8th September, myself and 3 friends was recommended to go there for a meal, we waited 50mins before our meal arrived, after asking how long it was going to be, when it arrived 3 of the dinners were cold, we returned them, waited another 10 mins before they returned, was really disappointed again, 2 of the dinners were exactly the same ( cold ) after spending over £100 it's easy to say we won't be going back there. clarke.ellen@sky.com

Had a sensational Sunday roast and it's dog friendly 🐾

Well located small restaurant in barley. Good parking space available, grace period of 10 mins for drop off. Foods were tasty and loved it. Staffs were good and helpful. Parks are nearby and its a nice place to have food after kids are tired from the park😀 They have open and inside dining. Clean toilets and restrooms. From the menu,Loved the loaded fries very much..

I didn't stay at the Pendle Inn; me and a friend just went for something to eat/drink after a day exploring in Yorkshire. It's a lovely place, although sadly quiet - I hope it can survive! They stop serving food at about 7pm, so make sure you get there on time! My friend told me that they host amazing Halloween parties and fancy dress etc; there's also a big screen for sports, and I think they have live music. Reasonable price and my friend very much enjoyed her leek and potato soup!

Stopped for some drinks the Pendle Inn offers good choice and friendly service

Food was very basic. Not sure what’s happened if it’s had change of hands or something, but it’s not like it used to be with traditional home cooked food. Chips were frozen chunky chips and tasted ‘frozen’, no presentation for the meal, just really basic. Placed lacked atmosphere and looked cheap and dirty. Disappointed.

Great pub. Food is lovely and there's even a doggy menu for the pouches. Staff are 💯💯💯 too

Great food and drink, in a wonderful location in Barley. Perfect if you want a pint after (or before!) walking Pendle Hill or other routes.

Only went in for a couple of drinks with friends after a stroll up Pendle Hill. Lovely location. 2 pints for less than £10. Staff friendly and take orders in turn. Will visit again when next in Barley.

Had a lovely lunch after doing the pendle circular walk from barley, we all had hot sandwiches which were lovely and the service was great too. Good value for money.

Went to the pendle Inn for lunch today 21 July 2024 they lost our order for lunch .give them there due the meal when it came 3/4 of a hour late it was really good and we only paid for one meal

Me and my partner booked hear for a night we were appalled by the cleanliness it was terrible we thought we had a double bed but it was 2 single beds put together to the point none of us slept and we left at 4am this morning the atmosphere in the pub however was lovely and welcoming so I think next time we will juat stay for a drink and not the night

Great base for a 3 night break Perfectly sized apartment in accommodation block behind The Pendle Inn. Downstairs has a sitting room with a small kitchen area plus the shower room. Upstairs is a lovely mezzanine bedroom with a Velux window to the front and another window to the rear. The bed is king-sized and extremely comfortable. Apartments are a little tired looking and could do with a good deep clean. It is great that the accommodation is dog-friendly and each apartment has a dedicated parking space right outside the door.

Stopped for a few hot chocolates and a beer, no complaints, very good. Made with love as they said!

Used to be a great pub where we have had many family gatherings and meals. Massively gone down hill. Called for a family meal and it took 1 hour and 20 mins to get serviced. The food was terrible small soggy bun on burger and few chips. So disappointed. There are so many food business out there that are trying, I would spend your money with them.

Nice atmosphere and setting. Good ale and with dog meals also. However the plant-baswd option is only salad with too much onion on top and 1 red pepper filled with half a can of beans so really very poor. The dog food option came so hot it burned the dog as she tried to eat. The vegetarian cheese pie was enjoyable. We hope to return but with a/some better vegan option(s)

Excellent place. We were here for two nights, dined here two nights, and the food was brilliant, as was the service. And so was the beer!

Went for lunch after seeing lots of recommendations on our Airbandb reviews. Lovely picturesque old building, pleasant, friendly, efficient staff and excellent food. Also great that it’s dog friendly. We had the famous Pendle Pie (steak and ale with cheesey mash topping) and beer battered fish and chips. Very generous portions but we still managed to make room for a delicious salted caramel cheesecake and a fruit crumble & custard.

We stayed here in our motorhome overnight having rung beforehand, we were a right pain in the proverbial , changed tables and food choices, yet all the staff were very friendly and accommodating for these two nut cases, the food was absolutely delicious and we highly recommend a visit

Used to enjoy dining out in this little family pub. Love the atmosphere and the location with lovely scenery & a children’s park across the road. Our recent visit was a little disappointing, the food standards have dropped. We ordered some starters & mains off the menu and when the nachos arrived, the whole thing was stuck to the bowl which wasn’t edible & we had to send it back. I ordered trio of sausages & mash with gravy, the mash was lumpy, I paid around £15 or £16 for that dish & really wasn’t expecting to get lumpy mash but we felt bad when we sent the nachos back and didn’t want to make a scene as it was quite busy so I had to put up with the lumps. Not ideal when the prices are quite steep!!! However the staff were friendly and worked hard. Doubt we’ll be dining here again!!

Absolutely germ in Pendle!!! Food amazing,staff friendly:):) Highly Recommend 🙏👈

Called in for a sandwich for lunch. Limited choice but went for the pan fried chicken and bacon and it was excellent. Came with a very good salad and chips.. .. also mayo. At just over £11 it was very good value too. In the words of Arnie...... I'll be back !

Came here for a friend's birthday celebration. Real ale was excellent and the food was good.

A little disappointing to be honest. It took a while to get our food order in to start with and then a further 50 minutes for it to arrive. The servers didnt look very happy. They did apologise for the wait but if you cant get the food out in a timely manner then dont book that many people in. Its a shame because the pendle pie was delicious. My mums roast dinner could have been better, she said the meat was tough and the veg was a little too al dente for our liking. When the bill came i was also a little surprised that 2 gin and tonics had cost me £20! I should have been asked if I wanted Hendricks surely? I very much doubt we will visit again.

Call in for a meal after climbing Pendle Hill. Great meal and service I would highly recommend.

This pub with rooms is excellent for Pendle Hill and the Sculpture trail the pub itself is busy but does good food and drinks. The room's are in need of some TLC ours had a broken light fitting and kitchen unit needed some attention but it did have it's own parking space outside the door and all the essentials including a fridge and microwave.

Pub has great beer and good cider

Can't comment about the rooms! Pleasant place with good service and very good food. Recommended - location is very rural!

Great lunch for six of us. Friendly staff. A good time was had by all. Thanks

Very cool place to stay. Amazing view the pendle hill😍

We all agreed that this was the best pub to stop off at when we came down off Pendle Hill after our walk. Good choice of food 🍲 and drink and very well staffed. Lots of room for eating inside and outside so spoilt for choice.

Went for lunch very good food would recommend

I went to the Pendle Inn today for the first time. The location is beautiful, the food and the service were excellent, and the atmosphere was great

Been here few times I love it. Food is amazing, excellent atmosphere. Staff are lovely always happy to help. Dog friendly we had 3 dogs with us. Lovely walking routes near by.

Popped in after a 7 mile hike around the hill. Excellent service at the bar, a real plus was they serve my fav ale, Thwaites!! Ordered fish and chips, really good, quick service and friendly staff. Will definitely return, dog friendly too

Really great location. The food was good, and even during a busy lunch service the staff did their best to get the food out on time. Great that the pub is dog friendly too.

Didn't stay, just stopped off to eat while passing. Food/ service/ location/ parking/ all very good. Food was tasty.

It was really busy being a Sunday, so glad we booked a table…bonus it was next to the fire 🔥 the place was buzzing, I made myself at home, popping logs on the fire when it needed it! Very dog friendly they even have their own little menu 😃 talking of food, I had the nachos which was a good bowl full with cheese, salsa and soured cream, I also had the Pendle pie it was to die for, it was just delicious 🤤 it wasn’t what I was expecting but wow it was better, no crust, soft melt in the mouth steak/gravy with the smoothest mash EVER topped with melted grilled cheese. I will definitely be coming back with more friends and family 🥰 Sorry I didn’t get any more pictures, especially of the food to just show you all, but it was just to good to waste any time getting my phone out!!

My husband and I decided to do a hike for our wedding anniversary and it was super lovely until we visited this establishment. I work in a pub so I know customer service skills are normally a priority. Upon entry the girl at the bar just seemed miserable! Not really an issue. So we ordered food to be precise we had a ham and cheese ciabatta and salt and pepper loaded fries. With 2 coffees. The food came quite quick and the girl who served us was really lovely too. I didn't catch her name but she had braces and dark hair. (Sorry for the bad description) but she was great. We ate our food which was nice so I would recommend the food. But after eating we still had no coffees! I asked a girl in the restaurant bit (we was sat outside) she was quite rude and just said I'm.sure they will be making them now and she would check. So I went back outside another 20 mins passed and I asked again the same girl, I felt she was quite rude and abrupt but hey ho. Another 5 mins passed and I thought I'd ask at the bar. Well this is where my experience was really poor! Hence this review hence only 2 stars! The blonde lady not the original one who served us shouted at me across the bar infront of numerous people saying you are not a priority. Someone has just collapsed outside. Fair enough I don't think I'm a priority but after waiting 45mins for a coffee in that time finishing all my food and watching others that have arrived after us get there's I believe me asking In a polite manner certainly did not warrant her response! Being shouted at is disgusting. I genuinely believe that girl in particular and the other girl in the chequed shirt in the restaurant really let this place down. I certainly won't return and deffo wouldn't recommend with staff like that. It wasn't just 1 either it was more then 50% of the staff!

Heard about the pub in the local rag. so decided to try. A very good decision indeed. We both ordered two separate types of pies and we tried each other's, they were both excellent in taste, quality and quantity. The price was very good for such fine fare. Would and will visit again and again. Keep up the good standards and you will win Pub of the year again. The welcome and attention of all the staff are a credit to them and the owner.

Excellent food with good service in a warm friendly atmosphere. The portion were Generous. Would recommend the tempura prawns, chicken strips and Pendle pie which were very tasty.

Booked an evening meal for our family at the Pendle Inn. Arrived and appeared to have been stuck in a corner next to the conservatory doors…. The staff kept leaving the doors open and the freezing cold air coming from the conservatory was horrible. The waitress (in charge whilst owner away) admitted she had no idea how to turn the heating on!! I ordered the lamb as a main and was presented with an overcooked lamb shank that was made up of mostly fat and gristle…. The night was then punctuated by the strong body odour of one of the waiters which made things even less appetising. It just felt that the staff were taking it easy as the boss was away. A shame as most of the food was really tasty (my family said)

The Pendle Inn accommodated our motorhome in their car park in return for dining there and we couldn’t have asked for a better location. Perfect for the famous Pendle hill walks. A special thank you to Hollie for her wonderful hospitality and politeness, from asking where we could park to our dining experience. Wonderful pub and lovely food.

Went for valentines with my boyfriend. Don’t get me wrong, food was really good. However, menu wasn’t the valentines meal they advertised? We weren’t greeted with complementary cocktails, the menu wasn’t the same, there wasn’t a desert platter, yet we were still charged £40 a head? The chef was also incredibly inappropriate, making comments when I was with my boyfriend?? Made us both uncomfortable and shouldn’t be tolerated!!!!

I visited as part of a large group in January and as always we were warmly welcomed and seated quickly all together in the conservatory. I had the stuffed pepper which was delicious and it's great to have a vegan option - just wish there were more! My husband had the Pendle Pie which he really enjoyed. There's always a good selection of beers and ciders and dogs are very welcome with a little doggy station with treats, water bowls and special mats for them to sit on. Our dog loves visiting and so do we. Stuart and the team do a great job.

Had a Fantastic lunch beautiful food would definitely go again 😋

As a group we visit from time to time but in December we booked for a Christmas meal. Absolutely every dish was beautiful, tasty and served with attention to detail, especially the blade of beef which was the best I have ever tasted. The waiters and waitresses are always a credit to themselves and the pub, they are always smiley, helpful and professional. Sam was especially attentive, ensuring our groups needs were met meticulously. I can't recommend this pub highly enough and look forward to returning.

The pub itself was lovely on entry., Perfect Old style. Even had a roaring fire going. The room was fine but a bit characterless. Food was decent But when you're told last orders 21.30 instead of the advertised 23.00 yet at 22.00 a local at the bar was still being served. Not impressed and spent my money in the competition next day as a result.

I've previously had good experiences here, but today, when my wife went in for a coffee she was followed into the toilet twice my a short large young lady to apparently check why my wife went in there, and whilst drinking her coffee in the bar area was unexplicably asked to quickly finish her coffee and leave. As English is not my wife's first language, she did not have the confidence to challenge her. I would like to know from management what this you lady's problem was, and what will be done about it.

Lovely place, The staff were friendly and made us feel very welcomed. Would definitely recommend. The cheese pie was tasty it was a shame that our chips were raw and non edible.

So we decided to celebrate some January sunshine and did our standard walk from Roughlee, up Stang Top and down to Barley via Black Moss. Decided to call in the Pendle Inn for lunch. We were made very welcome by the front of house team…and even though we had not reserved was seated at a table in the bar very quickly. The whole service from start to finish was professional and polite. We ordered our usual ..fish and chips and a prawn sandwich with salad and chips and as always the food was delicious and we feel reasonably priced. Well done Pendle Inn team…

Visited on quite a busy Saturday evening. The staff were very welcoming and greeted our dogs with enthusiasm. We ordered our food and as expected, quite a wait due to being busy. I tried the Pendle Pie and to be honest, it didn't impress me and the seasonal veg just seamed to be piled on greens, the cheese mash topping was nice, but not a lot of beef in it. Madam had the Chicken Burger and she also was disappointed saying it was quite bland. This is the first time I have not given the Pendle Inn 5* Sorry, but not the usual standard. The Frys were very good though.

Great family friendly dog friendly pub ,service food menu beer location excellent 👌 😋

Best place ever!!!! 2nd vist here, we was impressed the 1st time (7 months ago) and amazingly even more impressed with today visit.

Wish it was my local I always find this a lovely pub, very friendly helpful staff.

My second visit here, this time for my daughter in laws and her mothers birthday, food yet again superb, cannot praise this enough, staff as usual brilliant. Give yourself a great big pat on the back stuart, you have a great team there, keep it up, hopefully will be back over soon.

Comfortable and welcoming pub. Well preserved original 1930s architectural features. No less than three roaring open fires when we visited! Beer in good condition. Recommended.

Love this place. Great pub to end up at after a hike up Pendle Hill! 🔥

After a snowy walk to pendle hill it was nice to go in a pub with a roaring fire. Friendly locals as well.

Food and service lovely as always. Lacks character in the conservatory compared to the rest of the pub (where we sat this time) and it was cold in there (January) bit otherwise highly recommended. Book a table by the fire. Portions really big. We didn't stay in the rooms, review reflects rooms in the pub.

Visited this place for a wedding, food is good and the atmosphere is very nice too, look forward to our next visit

Visited here after the Pendle Sculpture Trail on way back to car park, very dog friendly

Excellent meal with the wife. Both of us really enjoyed our meals. Cosy friendly pub grub👍

I was one of a party of 17 today for lunch on New Years Day. The service and staff were fantastic. They’d obviously planned and managed the booking very well and were able to accommodate all the other patrons really well too. The food was fantastic and all arrived for all of us at the same time. Really very happy and impressed. Thank you very much indeed and Happy New Year. Will be back no doubt.

We meet at the Pendle Inn every year between Christmas and New Year for a family get together. The pub is well worth the travel, really good food, beer and wine at reasonable prices The staff are very friendly, helpful and attentive The pub is very dog friendly and our two dogs are always well looked after. We stay in one of the pubs cottages, they are just the right size for us two and our two dogs. A great place as a base for walking up Pendle Inn or stopping for a pint after the walk

The perfect place to relax after a beautiful walk up Pendle Hill. Lovely food, amazing service and a perfect location.
