The Cavendish Arms in Chorley

We ate on a Monday night in December and I think every table was taken, so there was a lovely atmosphere. The service was very good and the timing of the food was also good. The 2/ 3 course festive menu was good value and very nice choices served on warmed plates and generous bit not overfacing portion sizes. I had eaten here twice before but none of my friends had - they will all be back though including one girl who lives near Blackpool but thought it would be a nice drive out for a meal with her other half.

We booked & in the burgeoning pre Crimbo mania, glad we did! I was driving so water did me. The other three had a couple of glasses! They all went for the 2 or 3 course Festive Food & seemed content. I had the scallopy starter & fillet steak! Really really nice! Barney & Mrs Barney & staff were at their gas usual welcoming best - making for a great couple of hours! Food good, choice wide, drinks good choice! Not entry level prices but fair value for money! Well done (well actually mine was med rare!)

We went, as a family group of 13, to The Cavendish for a pre-Christmas festive meal. Our experience there was 10/10. The food was plentiful, hot and absolutely delicious! Service was excellent. Staff waiting on tables were friendly, efficient and courteous. The setting was perfect too. Thank you for a fantastic evening. We will definitely be back for meals soon, and return for our family festive meal next year...

Good food great service overall a great dining experience would highly recommend for a lovely meal out waiting on staff are very attentive and friendly

The food here never disappoints and service is fantastic, highly recommend, make sure to book in advance as always very busy and so it should be

When you arrive at a Village Pub on a Monday night and the car park is full and the restaurant bustling with customers you know there's a reason why. No blaring loud music, no televisions belting out sporting events but lots of tables all full of customers enjoying an awesome variety of food chosen from the menus. You have a choice of an early market menu before 5pm, 10 different dishes for £10 menu or the A la Carte menu. We all had the same starters of mushrooms on bruschetta with crispy poached egg. All devoured and plates cleaned. For main course a very generous rump steak cooked to perfection, a gammon chop again very tasty, a lovely hearty steak & mushroom pudding and fish & chips. All served with rustic chips, crispy but very fluffy. We weren't to be beaten and 3 of us enjoyed banana cheesecake with ice-cream plus 1 enjoyed ice-cream only. Service, presentation, value for money and atmosphere was excellent. A very special mention for Eva who looked after us impeccably.

Wonderful food. The menu options are good too. Staff are very attentive and polite and did their best to make us feel valued despite having a huge party in at other tables.

Monday madness menu each main course is £10. Amazing food and good prices 😉. Welcoming and inviting staff. Trio of Fish is to die for!!

Superb lamb Shank Sunday roast lunch with seasonal veg, Yorkshire pudding, roast and mash potatoes and cauliflower cheese. Excellent service as always and a beautifully relaxed atmosphere even though it was busy. Love this place and couldn’t recommend it more for a drink and a big of crisps all the was to a three course meal I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. Thank you to all the staff who are very efficient and attentive but never overbearing. A perfect combination for a lovely meal out at any time of day

Another wonderful meal as is always guaranteed. Food, service and hospitality second to none. What more is there to say? So sad that Christmas Day lunch is full despite offering to wash up for the next few years!! Thank you to one and all for looking after us so efficiently and effortless. Looking forward as always to are next visit.

Food and service excellent experience slightly spoiled with cigarette smoke coming into the Dining Room though open doors

Not been here for many years. Hearing lots of good things about them recently snd decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. Such delicious good food with friendly staffs nice welcoming environment. Definitely recommend and will definitely be back.

There was four of us who went, had different starters, mains and desserts , there wasn't one complaint from any of us all the food was fab definitely will be back .

Fantastic food drink and service. Thank you to you all for a lovely evening. Reccomend the steak night on a Wednesday fantastic value

We had a lovely meal. A couple of our party were delayed due to trains but we were accommodated fabulously. Food was delicious as always. My only gripe was that we mentioned when booking that we were celebrating my son’s birthday but there was no acknowledgement of this during the meal. However we will be back.

Absolutely marvellous!! I actually can’t find words good enough to match the food and service we’ve just had at The Cavendish for Mother’s Day. The food was absolutely amazing, so fresh, so tasty. Absolutely spot on. Very reasonably priced for the variety and quality of food on the menu. Lovely friendly staff too.

The food was exceptional, and the service was fantastic. Me and my friends actually said it was the best meal we’ve ever had. I had the fillet steak and friends for the mixed grill to share, the quality, presentation, flavours were out of this world

Lovely venue, excellent food and service. We had the upstairs room to ourselves ….14 of us. It was just perfect for those hard of hearing amongst us

Lovely place to dine out even when the weather is rubbish. Will visit again as enjoyed the food and the staff are very friendly. Lovely and cosy with a good choice on the menu.

Visited for dinner on the 3rd March. The staff were very welcoming and attentive and the food was lovely. We will definitely visit again

Great food ,good atmosphere and friendly staff, highly recommended,bright and airy dining room tables with room between not all crammed in,

Very good menu choice. We opted for the ‘daily market menu’ with an option for two or three courses from a smaller menu at a set price. Good choice of meals and well priced. Both our starters and main courses were delicious. We had a table in the old part of the restaurant which was very cosy and atmospheric. Service was friendly and professional. We will definitely be returning.

28 of us had our annual choir meal together; I organised it. Everything was first-class from booking, ordering, last-minute adjustments. Food was excellent and very professionally served, a credit to both kitchen and waiting staff. Everyone enjoyed it and I may have got myself a repeat job!

We have been here twice recently for family occasions. Each time every meal was delicious. Will definitely be going back, and soon.

Came for lunch and was greeted by friendly staff who seated us promptly and were very attentive throughout. We ordered off the market menu which is excellent value and the food was absolutely delicious! Can not recommend this place enough! Will definitely be returning! Thank you!

Thank you so much to the Cavendish Arms for making my husband's 50th birthday celebrations so memorable. We all had a fabulous night. I booked the Brindle Suite as we had a party of 10. The Suite was perfect for our party. Everyone loved their meals, they were all delicious, good portions & piping hot. We have to also thank your lovely staff who couldn't do enough for us. We love the Cavendish Arms & can't wait to return again soon.

Lovely pub in lovely surroundings. Great beer garden. Large car park. Menu has good choices and it is quick service my only criticism is the potato wedges served with most options on the menu. They are soggy, greasy and spoilt the meal for the pair of us who went for the meal. Had an adverse affect on our digestion as we both suffered with indigestion overnight with the greasy potatoes. Shame as it is a beautiful pub with lovely decor and atmosphere.

Absolutely fantastic food and atmosphere, great staff, at 6’4 I did well not to bang my head on the low ceilings, lovely to see an old building retaining its character 😁

Wonderful lunch, freshly cooked and well presented. Good service. Lovely restaurant in a beautiful setting. Extensive menu and good selection of beers.

Friendly,prompt service... A wide choice of menu...and the food was delicious A warm friendly place,and excellent value for money

Visited the Cavendish for the first time today and it definitely won’t be the last time! Me and my husband went at lunch time today for a pre valentines treat and we were very warmly welcomed by a gentleman at the bar, and then the lovely lady who showed us to our table. The food is incredible. A very varied menu with all sorts of home cooked options. I went for the trio of fish to start which was gorgeous and hubby had ‘the best garlic bread ever’. Then for mains I had the duo of lamb…so tasty that even though I was stuffed I couldn’t stop digging in, and husband had the cheese and onion pie which he said was absolutely delicious. So many things on the menu that sound amazing so we will be back very soon and it’s always a lovely experience when the staff are so attentive too. Thanks so much!

Third visit to the Cavendish Arms. It was the perfect place for a family meal for 20 of us to celebrate our son’s 30th birthday. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The atmosphere and the welcome are worth the journey from Bolton....

We went for lunch. Service and food were excellent. Couldn't fault it. I had soup, piping hot, then a prawn and chorizo salad. My husband had a pork cigar roll with black pudding, the steak and mushroom pudding. All lovely

Perfect wedding lunch! We went here on Monday for our wedding meal and we can honestly say the food and service was fantastic. We couldn't have asked for better staff! They were so welcoming and nothing was too much. Thank you for a wonderful experience...

We both had beef stroganoff with chips and rice, staff very polite , very clean will go again The food was brilliant A bit more expensive but well worth the money

We had a lovely Monday evening treat. Just a main course each for only £10pp. We both chose the chicken stroganoff served with both rice and chunky chips, delicious.

Lovely family meal for our son's birthday highly recommend, the food service staff was excellent we will definitely be dining here again.

Mum and Daughter lunch today. We both struggled to choose our meals as we could have chosen the majority of them on the menu! The food is definitely restaurant quality as opposed to pub food. Service was perfect and the two ladies serving us were...

1st visit here. The food and service from minute one was amazing. Will definitely return. It’s been years since I’ve come away from a meal out thinking that was worth every penny. In this case it definitely was.

Fantastic meal, food was amazing, the restaurant was clean, traditional quaint small pub vibes, would have been 5 stars if the staff were more attentive…food just plonked on the table, empty glasses & plates not cleared, other than that highly recommended for the food &...

Perfect as always - we visit most weeks !! Waitresses are very welcoming and engaging - food (not festive menu) was delicious- stroganoff and gosh and chips both really lovely

Lovely pub, the staff are polite and hardworking and have that skill of knowing when to attend a table, something sadly lacking these days. Food is very well presented and very good value given the quite beautiful pub itself and village surroundings. Beer well kept...

We went for a pre- Christmas catch up over lunch, luckily getting lucky with booking a table. It was clear from the car park, that the Inn was operating at full capacity (an overspill carpark would be useful!) , but despite these we were dealt...

The Cavendish never fails to deliver good food and good service in a very pleasant setiing. It is no wonder it is always so busy and is a regular venue for people from far and wide.
