The Cavendish Arms in Chorley

The staff were wonderful and friendly but, unfortunately, someone had forgotten to put in our order so we waited a long time for our meal to arrive. The manager was extremely apologetic so all was forgiven as the Sunday lunch was absolutely excellent. We had the turkey and roast beef which could not be faulted. We shall definitely return and recommend The Cavendish to friends.

Fabulous food, my husband hasn't stopped raving about the seafood pasta - the best he has ever had. The remainder of our group was delighted with their choices of food. Service friendly and attentive. The only one thing we noted was that the room we were in, on our own, felt in some way as if we were there for a conference, 😂 We had a thoroughly good catch up with family and a relaxing lunch. Thanks to all.

Lovely meal shared with 20 friends who all enjoyed their meals . Great service

Excellent as usual! Great service and quality of food.

Lovely food best veg lasagne I have had great service will be back again soon

Booked for a friend who is recovering from a serious illness. I requested a quiet spot not overcrowded or loud as she doesnt cope with loud noise levels. The table was perfect soft music and only another couple at the other end of one of their many little rooms. The place is very pleasantly decorated clean and bright. The food was excellent along with the service. Highly recommended

Brilliant food and brilliant service what more could u ask for

Old fashioned pub but with good dining experience. Friendly and efficient staff. Good value tasty food.

Excellent meal with exemplary service

I have lived in the area for 6 years and the first time I went with friends it was very good. Within the last 3 years it has steadily gone downhill. Is it now owned by someone else? Saturday is awful. the food and staff were not up to par. Different chef perhaps? presentation of food is also not good. Shame because it is a really nice pub on a great location. 3 times in a row has been bad, so I need to find somewhere else within 2to3 miles. So sorry this is not my usual thing to complain.

Called for a quick pint whilst out walking. Was lovely.

Nicely cooked food, price's fair,staff on the ball, chairs not the comfiest unless quite slim as I heard someone else comment also ,very nice place.

Couldn’t fault it , the 3course meal was delicious, crispy beef salad , pork belly , rasp ,& ice cream .

First time here and definitely not the last! Lovely pub, great staff and superb pub grub!

Fantastic food, great atmosphere, we really enjoyed our visit it’s a hidden gem, the best pub food we’ve ever had.

We had an excellent meal and the service was 5*. My only comment is around the lighting temperature in the new extension part of the restaurant. The temperature of the lighting is quite cool, unlike the older parts of the pub, which, in my opinion, compromises the overall ambiance. Switch to a warmer bulb in this area and it would be lovely!

Lovely pub with great food! I had the chicken supreme and a chocolate tart, both of which were delicious. The service was great and all the staff were lovely too.

Excellent service, and delicious food in comfortable surroundings. The menu is extensive and varied, and reasonably priced.

Had a lovely meal here with some friends. The food and service was very good and would recommend a visit if you are in the area

You cannot fail to be impressed Everything was brilliant

We came to the Cavendish to try the Steak Night menu. It was excellent value but sadly the requested 'rare' steak came'medium'. It was very tasty nevertheless.

We've eaten here a few times, The Cavendish Arms is a lovely restaurant/pub, the staff are friendly & helpful and the food is absolutely delicious, can thoroughly recommend!

Beautiful setting. My steak would have been nicer chargrilled and the cauliflower cheese although tasted nice would have been lovely in cheese sauce and not dried up. My friends roast beef dinner really wasn't very good. We had to ask for a steak knife as a normal one couldn't cut it, and it was chewy. We didn't recognise the yorkshire pudding as it looked like something out of the jungle and the replacement looked like the opposite foot. Seriously though. The waiter started moving tables in front of 2 ladies sat in the corner whilst they were still seated. That made me uncomfortable. My friend paid the bill whilst I found and asked the manager did he know what this picture was? I told him they are being continued to be served!!. He offered us a drink which we declined and went to the kitchen to tell the staff to make some more. He did say he would look after us if we went back and thanked us. After all, your only as good as your front line staff and food!!

Absolutely excellent food and fab value for money

Friendly,atmospheric and good food

Best cheese and onion pie I’ve had for ages 👏

We didn't partake of any food on this our first visit, but the whole ambiance of the establishment was warm and friendly. We will definitely be looking in again soon to partake in the dining experience.

Following the reviews, we went to celebrate mum's birthday. Food wasnt outstanding at all. Soup was tasty indeed. But really disappointed a green piece of plastic from the lasagne packaging had slipped into the lasagne possibly when unsealing it. This put us off and ceased the meal. To be fair, the meal was knocked off the bill but it was disheartening that it was unlikely to be homemade and full of tomato sauce and hardly any veg - maybe a small piece of pepper in sight.

Always a great place to eat with friends and to take visitors. Enhanced by the countryside and environment.

Fab food as always but waiting staff seemed less attentive than normal. Had to ask about drinks that were ordered and for cutlery for desserts and a child's dessert that never arrived.

Food is very good as is the service and atmosphere. One of the best pubs in the area.

Service: Staff perfect.✓✓✓ Food: Not so this time unfortunately with the soup just warm and one of the main courses the same, the latter comments coming from a person that 'never' complains. The fish portion was disappointingly small this time and better suited for a child. However all was tasty and maybe the chef was having a less than perfect day. We are booked for the middle of the month so will hope all will be back to normal🤞.

Tasty food, attentive staff, good vale

Never been before, and a friend suggested to go with them. We ate a sharing starter that was really good. Main meal Sunday beef, very tender. Unfortunately, the roast potatoes were very hard, so the chef gave us a complementary sweet. Which was not expected and very nice. We would love to visit again. I have a couple of photos to show.

Fabulous meal service and atmosphere as usual we had the steak night offer never had a better steak perfectly cooked and such lovely friendly staff. Nice and cosy in the conservatory too

There was a slight error on the order, but these things happen. No business can ever say that everything runs right 100% of the time. What matters is that you have a team around you to sort it out as quickly and efficiently as possible. This is exactly what happened and the problem was solved in 10 minutes better than I could have expected. The food was great, the service was better than 10/10, they all did amazing. Well done team Cavendish Arms. Your managers should be really proud of you. #cheesepie #steakpie 🤫😉

Accommodated a late walk-in on a Sunday evening brilliantly. Food was excellent; Sunday roast (lamb shank) and prawn and chorizo salad.

Visited on 24th August for the first time, and the food exceeded all expectations. The mixed sharing platter was a lot of food and all of it delicious. The pulled pork cigar was awesome. The mains were equally delicious but we were too full for desserts! Highly recommended!

Really lovely food, great quality and quantity, lovely atmosphere in a great location and the service was awesome.

Nice food but the double cooked chips weren't that good.

Lovely restaurant with great choices and wonderful staff.

Can't fault it - the food, service and premises were superb

I’ve tried a few meals here and it’s always 10/10!! The pollo pasta 😍 and the steak and mushroom pudding 😍 to die for!!!

Fantastic food and service and the fillet steak was cooked to perfection, this place never disappoints

Great meal with friends, good value for monet & friendly staff 👌 Would recommend the steak & feta salad, absolutely tasty!

Great food and service, would recommend

My first visit, lunch with friends. We all chose from the Market Menu. 3 courses for £19.95, excellent value for money. Great choices & enjoyed by us all.

First time we've been recommended by our daughter and we will go again

Fabulous meal with an excellent pint of Hobgoblin Gold. Very efficient, friendly service. Definitely recommend.

Always good to find a pub open for dining 7 days a week. Great choice of starters and mains, cask ales from the standard Marstons range. Excellent service with hardly any wait, arrived as a walk in but I would recommend booking beforehand. Discounted Market Menu available Monday - Friday 12:00 - 17:00.

My favourite pub for steak they are fantastic never had a bad meal here, highly recommend 👌

Food, service, staff and surroundings excellent! Well worth a visit.

It's always nice an greeted with a friendly face at the bar But. Sometimes the younger staff have a face on ,and have no idea what booking has been made, food always good. Service Sometimes can be hit an miss, but we'll still go back. It's not an all bad place to go, an when you can sit outdoors, It's lovely.

An old English pub with a modern dinning area

Service was perfect and ambience. Staff were lovely . Sadly my starter of mushrooms was cold and my daughter's trio of fish was so minuscule it looked like they had forgotten to add it to the plate .

Excellent lunch out with mum today. Compliments to the chef both duo of lamb and duck breast were delicious, perfectly cooked😋 . Waitress was an absolute 🌟 she even held door open for mum - made our day. Booked again for mums birthday 🎂. Thanks so much for a fantastic lunch 😊.

One of the most beautiful and best restaurants I have visited. I couldn't imagine the dishes. Beef steak served in a new and distinctive way. Lasagna, goat cheese pizza, and fish with French fries are a story of beauty.

Wonderful food, great atmosphere and the staff were very welcoming:)

This place is just great. Staff are attentive and fantastic, food is fabulous.

Had the market three course for £19.95 was well worth the money, pate was lovely, cheese pie , pastry melts in your mouth couldn't finish main and had to take my pudding home . Its a lovely pub will definitely return . Thanks to the staff x

Nice place but food very disappointing

Beautiful little spot. We went on a Wednesday where they offer a great deal on 2 fillet steaks and a bottle of wine, all of which was excellent. Desserts were very well made too. Service was excellent and staff all friendly without rushing you

Lovely old pub in a nice village by the church. Food was excellent. Would like to visit again for the Sunday roast. Dog friendly.

Always excellent food, the best in the area

Really nice pub & good food, spoilt only by people vaping at the bar.

Visit often, highly recommend. Excellent food and service.

Brilliant pub in a beautiful little village. Food was excellent and service was top class. Fantastic beer gardens (there were two !) and lovely family atmosphere on a beautifully sunny evening. Would definitely recommend a visit for a meal to anyone in this area - you will not be disappointed. Hope to return again sometime.

Always Excellent Service and Atmosphere ,

Excellent meal wine by glass requires country of origin .

Excellent meal very good staff behind bar young ladies bringing food and drinks out very professional polite nice bear garden had 2 latte's really nice thankyou.

The food was very good , plenty on plate well presented and good service the value of food is equal to other places around that area

Been twice in the last couple of weeks for birthday celebrations, staff always with a smile and very polite. Never felt pushed in any way. Food of a very HIGH standard and nothing left on the plate. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Never been there until today, we'll definitely be going back.

It was my first time here. Food was delicious, and good customer service... I look forward to coming back again.

Beautiful food, really kind and friendly staff went out of their way to make the experience enjoyable

Excellent food. Very friendly service. I was a bit disappointed not to be sat in the conservatory area as it looked light and airy. We actually sat in front of the fire exit. Overall, the decor could and should be better. The area we were placed in was a tad clostrophic. Sorry.

Extremely nice food and the service was amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Great atmosphere. Service excellent. Friendly staff. I had the pub tapas my wife steak and ale pie. Both excellently cooked and presented. I thought the fish guojons could have been a little crisper- a minor fault in a great meal

Visited as a family of 6 on Easter Sunday. Can honestly say the food was excellent quality and presented beautifully. This place is more pricey than your average pub, but is justified with the quality of the food they serve. Definitely a bit of a rare gem. Would recommend but book ahead !

Very good food in an excellent setting. We were disappointed to be asked to vacate our table immediately after we had ordered coffee. It had never been mentioned to us that we would need to leave the restaurant at a particular time. We believed that we had the table for as long as we required and certainly why we were spending money.

Second visit to the Cavendish and it was just as excellent as the first. Service is friendly and attentive, with fantastic food.

Fantastic place to eat and drink lovely food staff and atmosphere

Very good indeed except for a bit of a wobbly table. I did see some of the girls balancing other tables so probably because it is an old building. Lovely clean loos too! Staff very attentive and kind.

Delicious food,lovely presented. Will be going again definitely :)

excellent food excellent staff great pub

Fanstatic meal tonight.. absolutely delicious 🤤 Five happy people left the restaurant well and truly satisfied.

A little bit of a hidden gem this place,

Called on a wet Tuesday for lunch. Car park busy and inside many tables taken, but staff welcomed us warmly. Menu, something for everyone. We ordered a sharing board, a lamb pizza and salt and pepper chips. Could not fault anything. Service excellent. Food excellent. Would highly recommend and we will return. Thank you

Had a great family occasion in a room upstairs. Great time.

A little jewel nestling quietly in Brindle! Menu choice is extensive, yet not overwhelming. All beautifully cooked, all five of us delighted with our choices. Particularly the lobster ravioli and the sharing platter. Service was exceptional, warm and friendly but not too attentive. Great value too. We will be back!

Had a wonderful afternoon at the cavendish arms. Our meals were very tasty and beautifully presented. The service was excellent and we were served immediately. A return visit will definitely be on the cards. Well done Cavendish Arms

Beautiful vibe with lovely food

Superb service and location, food best I've had for a long time, reasonably priced, good choice of drinks

Had the tapas option and wow was it good. Lovely place with a friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.

Lovey Mothers Day meal! I forgot to take pictures of the food, which was amazing. Staff also really nice made an effort to have a chat while serving 😀

Went there yesterday. It was Mothers Day. The food was excellent, the service was great and the atmosphere was very relaxing, even at this busy time. Can recommend for any occasion. Well run local pub. It was our second visit and we will defintely be returning in the near future.

Wonderful family meal. Food was excellent. We all had a different main course, six, and every one was special. Starters, desserts, mains and two bottles of wine.

The food was excellent, pity there was no heating on as I felt really cold .

Came for a family meal and sat upstairs. Food was excellent, would high recommend

Everything was excellent from start to finish, we will 100% be returning very soon.
