We went for the Sunday lunch to celebrate my cousins birthday, the food was excellent and piping hot i had chicken and ham, the ladies both had beef. There was plenty of meat on all plates loads of vegetables Yorkshire pudding and stuffing balls, gravy was lovely not too runny I hate watery gravy. For desert I had apple crumble and custard best crumble I have had in ages, the wife had baileys cheese cake a bit bland but quite nice with pouting cream. Service was good but at times a little long too wait once food ordered, but we will be going back very soon.

The food was good and plentiful, the staff helpful even though they were busy. Had a bit of a wait due to the amount of people there, but I didn't mind as I wasn't in a rush. The only reason gave 3 *for atmosphere was the large party and kids, it was a little noisy but they left and the volume went down. We then sat outside in the sun to finish our drinks with a cracking view. But a great place to have food and have some meal deals.

Most pubs I’ve been to have been warming and welcoming to anyone who walks through the door (hello, how are u , what can I get u sir), not here, I was made to say sorry within 10 minuets of being there, for what I have no idea, I mean, how embarrassing is that, and apparently asking for ‘a pint please’ is insulting and rude to the bar staff. Just toxic and rude, bad vibes. Military servicemen not welcome :(

The worst meal I have ever experienced whilst visiting the UK. Ordered the fillet steak to share and asked for a second plate and was refused. There policy is they do not give out another plate…the steak was order medium and came out medium rare at best with no caramelisation, chips were soggy, hard tomatoes and peas microwaved. We were the only two people in the restaurant and now I know why !!!!

We stopped by on our small hike from the canal (narrowboat holidays) to Mow Cop Castle. This pub has separate seatings for serviced and self service areas. When we stated that most of our party is vegan the service presented us an extra menu with numerous vegan options. We had the jacket potatoe with beans and vegan cheese, chips and garlic bread with and without vegan cheese. All was very fine including the service. One of our kids (the single meat eater of the party) said: "At first I wasn't sure that this hike was really worth the hassle. But the visit to this pub made it absolutely worth it." Note: There's a small, rather direct footpath to the pub when you descend from Mow Cop Castle. The path is not on google maps but openstreemap or another good map should show it.

Been here quite a few times and always found it to be lovely but the last two occasions have not been good. They have clearly had a new chef and it shows. Food was served burnt (actually black), pie was dry, gravy was insipid and the chips were not up to the usual tasty standard. Real shame when it was previously very nice. Hope they can get a better replacement chef soon.

Great friendly pub with good cosy atmosphere. Staff are friendly and efficient. Food is o erall very yood though prices like most places have increased. Paid £19 for a mixed grill which was basically a cooked breakfast with peas and a very small steak. No chicken portion and steak only 4oz though have to say was cooked beautifully . One of party had his usual liver and mash though we could see gravy looked a bit congealed and not the dark lovely usual. We gave feedback to Mike behind bar but don't think he believed us or wanted to accept any feedback that was slightly negative though to be fair he did say he was sorry if that was our opinion. Would return but bit more careful about what order.
