Re visited The Rock Inn on Sunday. Wow 👌 the food is delicious 😋 everyone really enjoyed their meals. My father in law can find fault in anything and he gave it 10/10. I had the rag pudding oh my god it was amazing. My husband had the ham hock which just fell off the bone. Everything was exceptionally good. Highly recommend lovely cosy country pub. Next time I'll save room for dessert as they looked unreal.

I go here regularly when I have a free 30 mins before picking up my children from the local school in Tockholes. Recently taken over and the service is outstanding, nothing is too much for them. Clean, good beers and open most of the time.

Amazing country pub - get out for a walk with your family and doggies, then finish off at the Rock - been there since 1794 so they must be doing something right!!

Lovely experience. The homemade soup was gorgeous - homemade mushroom & crusty bread on the side. The sandwich was lovely too - side salad & chips to die for BUT the bread was far too much. Really good quality filling (I had the ham) - please consider going for much thinner bread (it was bread overload). Perhaps consider doing a soup & sandwich deal with a smaller portion of soup & perhaps half of a sandwich. Will definitely return - warm welcome & food on the whole spot on & at a reasonable price

First visit here. Got there early and ordered two club sandwiches about 12.05pm. Arrived within ten minutes to our outside table from which you can see spectacular views. The chips are to die as was the sandwich and salad was first class from taste to presentation. Will definitely be going back and highly recommended a visit. 👻

I had the pleasure of visiting the Rock Inn last Friday while travelling through Tockholes for work. After parking and walking through the doors to the bar, I was greeted with a welcoming smile from the landlord, Matt, who I later found out had just taken over the premises that week. The sunshine was out, so I enjoyed a few pints and some food (recommend the Chicken Burgers) on the terrace at the back, which boasts absolutely beautiful views and neighbouring wildlife. The service and atmosphere were fantastic, and I will definitely be returning, bringing along family and friends in the near future. I look forward to trying more items on the new menu. All the best for the future, guys. Best regards, Craig

We visited around a week ago, the food here was very nice and the views from the back windows are amazing. I did find the real ale choice a little disappointing with just 2 Thwaites ales on draught (The Royal has much more choice) and I will say if you choose to try the apple pie its a little on the small size!

Lovely pub but unfortunately we chose the Sunday Roast which at £15 ahead you would expect the description to reflect the food delivered. The food came swimming in bisto gravy, there was 2 roasts, four extremely small, broken slices of dauphinois potatoes, 1 tiny piece of cauliflower, a handful of green beans and slices of carrots, a frozen Yorkshire pudding and some slices of beef . My partner had lumps of chicken not slices. I couldn’t taste the food when eating it and given it was Mother’s Day I was so disappointed for my partner who wanted the day to be perfect. I just can’t understand how the latter represented £15 , my only regret is not taking a picture of the food and not expressing my displeasure. I was annoyed, upset and shocked that the restaurant would serve this food. There are restaurants/pubs delivering a higher quality of food in the surrounding areas that represent the price tag. Fresh produce, homemade Yorkshire puddings and come to the table cooked, hot and the gravy in a gravy boat not poured all over your food! Other food being offered appeared to be better as the kids food was enjoyed and looked lovely. Just avoid the Sunday Roast !

A welcoming atmosphere. Comfortable seating area by the windows at the back….i can imagine the views on a clear day however we turned up after sunset. Pleasant vibe and well informed of the specials menu by Zoe. Zoe and her daughter were amazing. Yes this is a family run establishment so you won’t be disappointed. Great food, great service and lots of smiles.

Proper countryside pub, set in the Lancashire Hill Country with superb views! A very warm welcome from staff and 4 well kept pints of real ale soon served. Order for food taken and served with a smile and in good time, lamb kebabs with flat bread and salad, along with Salt n pepper fries, very tasty and filling after our dampish walk around Ryal Fold and Sunnyhurst Woods! Highly recommended and most certainly will return!

Today was my first experience visiting Rock Inn Tockholes. Enjoyable from first leaving a message with quick response booking a table. To our warm welcome on arrival quickly making us comfortable at our chosen table. The menu and helpful information gave ample choice off the most enjoyable meal. Compliments to everyone who made this not only enjoyable but special and most memorable. When next returning to England shall definitely look forward to more time visiting Rock Inn Tockholes.

Was lovely to meet Vass, Zoe and the staff. Can’t believe we’ve visited the area of Cyprus so close to Vass’s hometown near Pernera. Anyway, the food was delicious & the staff fantastic. I think they appreciated us stacking up the finished plates after each course (it’s rude not to!). We definitely will be revisiting in the not too distant future 🍴

What a lovely lunch. The welcome was warm and both the restaurant and bar areas were bustling. Service was friendly and efficient. Three of us had different dishes and every one was delicious. The homemade lasagne was very tasty and dad thoroughly enjoyed his fish and chips. Homemade apple crumble and custard was perfect for a cold autumn afternoon. This was our first visit since the change of ownership but certainly won't be our last. Highly recommended.

Sorry to say but we both were a bit disappointed with our Veggie Delight on Sunday. Both were served with a single small roast potatoe, the dauphinois potatoes were missing and we were told people didn’t want them because the meal was served with gravy but thankfully we were given some and we thought the pie was microwaved as the pastry was soft and not crispy? Everything else was good though.

Lovely pub, great ambience, had higher expectations over the food due to recommendations. Not much of a selection for me, but I understand a menu cannot be too extensive otherwise you are a master of none, however I have to point out the cost for your sirloin steak which comes with potatoes and veg £20.90, 3 opted for chips instead of boiled potatoes, but then when I questioned where the veg was, it was pointed out you either get potaotes and veg or chips with no veg. Then Maddie advised that as they wanted chips, which were frozen, not homemade, we would have to pay an additional 1.50 for the veg. I advised that the board could be misconstrued and said maybe clarity on the steak could be made, after all potatoes could be mashed, boiled, roasted or chipped, but that didn't matter we still were not getting any veg. The steak was cooked well, a little thin for the money, the peppercorn sauce was too watery and to serve an expensive dish with frozen chips, my 3 guests were a little disappointed. I on the otherhand did like your soup. We all had a dessert to finish off the meal as it was a birthday celebration. Please don't get me wrong the food was cooked well, but at £90 for four people, we all felt it wasn't good value for money.

Called in Fri teatime. It was quite empty at the time. Quite disappointed with the food. The onion rings weren't nice, frozen ones not crispy ones like the menu said they were. The souvlaki was OK apart from the pitta bread having been drowned in oil, which they did change but left the oil on the plate. Partners chips weren't cooked through, still hard, again they were changed when it was mentioned. The 2nd lot were slightly better. Very surprised an independent pub which cooks fresh has frozen chips and onion rings. Be much nicer if they were home made. Seems to be a nice pub for a drink and a get together. Not sure I'd return for food.

Lovely looking hotel from the outside, great location to the town as its only a 15 minute walk. The rooms are decently furnished. There was only 3 pillows in the room which were very flat but the reception kindly organised another pillow. The issue for me was that there was a 50th Birthday party and we were only informed via the booking.com app and not via email so we were unaware that the music would be going on until midnight, not the hotels fault. We would have liked to have relaxed and gone to bed earlier but couldn't because of the relentless thumping from the music, if we had known I'd have probably gone elsewhere as we were up early for a long drive. The TV now doesn't have terrestrial channels but only pay on demand ie BBC iplayer or Netflix. We did stay here last year and the room was brilliant for a wedding. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was decent with a very attentive lady running the breakfast sitting. Overall I like the hotel and location, friendly staff and a brilliant breakfast, based on this and the £80 price for a double room with breakfast you can't go wrong, in future we will ask the hotel before booking to see if there are any functions going ahead but against the fact that Premier inn are charging £150 for the a double and breakfast you can't have it all.

I just picked up some food from Golden Grill Darwen, and I have to say, the experience was absolutely fantastic! The food was beyond amazing—perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and served fresh. You can tell they put a lot of care into what they make. And the service? Truly top-notch. The team was friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure I had a great experience. It’s so refreshing to find a place like this where quality food and excellent service go hand in hand. I would recommend Golden Grill Darwen a hundred percent—whether you’re craving something delicious or just want a great takeaway experience, this is the place to go! Thank you guys.
