The Crafty Fox in Hyndburn

Visited on a recommendation and was not disappointed It lived up to all my expectations The food was exceptional the staff were very friendly It was a joy to eat there and will definitely be back soon

A great place to visit for a meal in Accrington. The crafty fox does superb food. I had the salt and pepper chicken popcorn and the crafty fox Burger (a burger with bacon, chicken strips, and cheese with bbq sauce) with fries which was delicious. The wife had the minted lamb pie with mash, carrots, cauliflower, and gravy which she also thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were helpful, polite and friendly. Will definitely be visiting again.

The meal ce out wronge for the 3 of us it was a very cold place

Excellent food ,would highly recommend.

Never had a bad meal, service is always top notch, and the food is outstanding. Great value for money.

Phenomenal place and food, the homemade pies are off the scale!!! Kim the manager is an absolute credit to the business!!!!

Had lunch here recently. The food was outstanding. I would highly recommend it.

I’m not local to the area, and so someone recommended I go to the Crafty Fox for lunch as their food was really good. The first thing I noticed was how friendly the staff were. The menu said to order at the bar but staff came to my table instead. The food was delicious, as promised and I would love to go again - probably with my dog - if it wasn’t a 2 hour drive!

All excellent. We have been here before and will be back! Food, drink, service and ambience all wonderful!

Made a quick visit yesterday and was very impressed. We will be back again when we have more time

Great food and beer. Very dog friendly. Staff were lovely .

Great little place to eat Staff very attentive and informed

Had a homemade steak pie with chips, vegies and onion rings and a few drinks. Best steak pie I've ever tasted tbh! Wow! Will go back there ASAP. Service was excellent and food was brought out quite quickly. Very happy overall.

Had the rump steak ....best I've had in a very long time ...awesome place ...good service ...

Great food, good atmosphere, great place just for a drink aswell, friendly owners and staff

Fantastic place great food lovely staff

Brilliant. Good choice of specials as well as normal menu. Good prices. Excellent service. The only minus for me would be having the toilet upstairs. Not very disabled friendly. 😕

Great place, great ambience. Food is lovely and tasty with veggie options.

Quirky, intimate, good food, good ale. Not really suited to a Saturday night pub crawl as a big group. More a place to sit and watch the world go by.

Best place in town hands down and you can take a well behaved dog by arrangement.

Absolutely brilliant meal as always at The Crafty Fox. The Sunday roast was gorgeous and the Belgian waffles are a must try!!

Unbelievable food, cozy atmosphere and lovely staff, great service,

We nipped in this lovely place just passing and definitely will go back, staff really warm and welcoming, plus the food being served looked and smelt amazing, will definitely go back and eat there. Plus a birthday shot was given to my friend by the lovely staff behind the bar. What a generous touch.

I only marked down because the food took 50 mins to arrive but it was worth the wait and it was delicious.

Great atmosphere, lovely homemade food and real ales, what's not to love?

Wow, what a great find this quirky little place is! The Crafty Fox is simply AMAZING! The food is outstanding, it’s mouth watering, hearty, fresh, quality, and reasonably priced too. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, and the landlord Paul has a great sense of humour! 😂 (he makes amazing milky coffee 😂) Can’t wait to return!

Had a lovely meal here ,the staff are fantastic and made us feel very welcome. Thanks for a great time x

A really wonderful little pub. The food is outstanding, and the beer just as good. It is a little cramped, but that is more than made up for by the atmosphere. Accrington's best pub for food? Probably.

Had a great meal last night, the homemade pies are superb, quality ingredients right through. We will definitely be returning soon.

Was very quite night staff very helpful cheese pie lovely.

Popped in for a weekday family tea...Nice relaxed atmosphere great food at a good price ..recommended 😁👌

Loved the food a lot havent had homemade chips in so long its the only place ive known to do them and the people seemed nice enough. Just the atmosphere scared my little one and cant say i blamed her because it was pretty quiet and heads turned when we came through the door i had to ask if it was closed because thats the sort of thing that happens when you're closing up for the day and a customer comes in. The decor was also a little bit creepy so i understand my child being a bit scared. A few rowdy people yelling at us not to sit down as a joke when we came in also didnt settle my child. The lights were pretty though. Also id prefer if they had a system where you pay for your food in advance at the desk to be brought over i have anxiety and don't like to be approached if i can avoid it and also like to get the cost together and sorted out in advance to avoid worrying about it while i eat. preferably i go to places where you can order from the table via qr code if i can but its a personal choice i suppose and some people probably like table service

Excellent food, highly recommend the cheese and onion pie! Very friendly staff, child friendly Lovely atmosphere clean and quirky. Will definitely be back soon.

Food was lovely and fresh perfectly cooked and a lovely friendly atmosphere

Meat pie was delicious, one of the best pies I have eaten. Pastry beautiful and meat excellent quality.

Best food in Accrington bar none

Went with friends. Always good service & food

Best pub and food in Accrington

Amazing food, (starters & mains). Amazing service and jolly atmosphere.

2nd visit this week. 1st visit we had the Christmas set menu which was superb! Chose the cheese and onion pie from the main menu today, one of the best I've ever had. Excellent service every time and a great atmosphere. Also great to see some different German beers on offer. 🍻

Most delicious Christmas meal last night! Very friendly and efficient service and great value for money. Thankyou for making our Christmas get together very special 😊

First time going again brilliant

Fantastic dishes, fantastic portion, affordable price, great staffs, definitely worth going

Been a few times and enjoyed it everytime

Called in for lunch, had the crafty burger and the black pudding starter. Both excellent. Staff really good, very attentive and friendly with a good sense of humour.

Great find with lovely food and a nice atmosphere... Worth a visit 😃

Really lovely little place, very friendly staff. Loads of choice for food which really was tasty, all of our party cleared their plates! One of party has allergies and they catered really well for that. Wish I would have had the Sunday lunch as it looked delicious!

Great service and wonderful food, will definitely be returning.

We went here yesterday absolutely amazing great choice of beers and the food was fantastic can't recommend this place enough 10 out of 10 all day long

Proper home cooked food! Service is great and the food is homemade and extra tasty! Favourite place to eat!

Great food. The chef was very accommodating with a party member with an allergy

Treated ourselves to lunch here for my wife’s birthday. The food and service was exceptional. The steak pie was the best pie I’ve ever eaten, it was enormous and full of thick chunks of tender steak. We’ll definitely be back.

First time at The Crafty Fox, enjoyed the roast, although initially only served with 2 roast potatoes, the staff were happy to offer more without any bother but a roast needs more than 2 potatoes. Faiross was our waiter, polite, attentive and great sense of humour, and helped us with any extras we needed. Thank you Faiross

Was visiting from the Midlands great atmosphere and very friendly staff good selection of beer food looked great will defo return

Good menu ,very tasty food good selection of beers.

I wish we had one if these down south where we live. Excellent food.

This was a revisit, with my friend, for lunch. The food was tasty, plentiful and reasonable cost The staff were friendly. This is definitely one of my fave places to visit.

Fantastic food and great service.

Went for Sunday lunch was lovely. Asked for some more gravy and they happily provided.

Went for lunch with a friend and we had the best time! The staff were really friendly and helpful, the food was lovely, hot and fresh and really reasonably priced. We sat in the window which felt private and the space feels very modern and alternative, definitely a treasure spot in Accrington! Will definitely be going again!

Cracking pub, great food and some excellent beers.

Excellent service and food. The chunky brown chips are to die for.

An amazing quirky little place ! Food is brilliant ! Defo recommended the crafty sharing combo! Service is lovely ! Made it extra special as they where very welcoming with my dog! Can’t wait to come back!

First visit to The Crafty Fox and it definitely won't be the last The food is fresh, piping hot and delicious. Everything is made fresh on the day and you can tell. Staff are friendly and can't do enough for you. How have I lived in Accrington and not been to this little gem right on my doorstep? Fabulous food - can't wait to return.

One of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. Food is top notch and there’s so many options. We had the nachos, hot dog and cheese pie. The wide range of drinks defiantly adds to the experience. will definitely be coming back soon!

What a gem of a place best food in Lancashire by far, great staff and a great atmosphere, highly recommend.

Been to crafty fox for Sunday dinner no words could describe how good the food is amazing the service was fantastic Ella the waitress was brilliant. 10/ 10 for her and the girls behind the bar

First time visit to the Crafty Fox, I'll definitely be back, lovely atmosphere, great staff, great range of beer - and the crafty lyrics night was brilliant - hope you make it a regular event!!

Lovely food, friendly staff, great place for a meet up with friends.

Food is good I recommend it for you

3rd time eating here now. Food is all fresh and cooked to order, I’ve loved every meal so far, can’t wait to try more of the menu! Home made cheese and onion pie was to die for!♥️Paul is lovely and the style inside is great!

Fantastic food good service definitely going again. Top food paul fox

An absolutely brilliant bar/restaurant. Owner is a top bloke with a great sense of humour and very welcoming. Fantastic food and beer/ale selection.

Food was fabulous and served hot! Lasses who took orders for food and drink were pleasant and friendly. I would love another visit.

Brilliant local venue, great food , good beer, great staff.

Lovely place to visit...sadly didn't get a chance to try the food, but definitely will do next time I'm there

Lovely little place. Well worth the money. Great food.

Quirky and full of character bar, with fantastic and friendly service. The food was amazing, the pies, made fresh to order were unbelievable. Highly recommended!!

Brilliant value. Great food. A reason to go to Accrington in a town otherwise on its arse.

Been here on half a dozen occasions over the last 6 months with several colleagues for food. Great service, even better food. Amazed how the chef can get all the food out so quickly, to such a high standard. With there being a number of us, we place our food order the day before and it's always ready on arrival.

When I'm in Accrington, I often come here on my own for a shandy or two. It's a friendly place where the bar staff and owner are always happy to chat, and the interior is original, arty, and cosy at the same time. I mean, who doesn't like a full-size mural of Ziggy Stardust in a phone box in their local pub? My motivation for writing this review isn't because of the above though. It's because my friend, who lives in Birmingham but is moving back up north, wanted somewhere to eat on a Monday night, which was her husband’s birthday. Not easy as many places close on Mondays. They went to the Crafty Fox and were very impressed with the food and range of beers. They were also amazed by how many people were there, in an independent pub in little old Accrington. I was quite smug, having recommended the place. That part of town is slowly regenerating itself thanks to entrepreneurs who are brave and savvy enough to give it a go. Hopefully, it's the start of a new Accrington where there's a nice choice of places to eat and drink. Where the long-established independent shops are joined by new ones. Good quality might be a bit more pricey, but the number of people prepared to pay that little bit extra is encouraging. Cheers to the Crafty Fox. Keep up the good work. And to the people of Accy: instead of complaining about what there isn't in the town, maybe support and champion the businesses that you do have. Maybe that will encourage more to open. 😊

Best place in the area to eat out!! Always a warm welcome, cool beer and excellent food. Cosy place with a really homely atmosphere. Can’t wait for summer, rear garden area with proper pizza oven!!!

Beautifully fresh food and friendly service and owner

Lovely food yet again. Well worth a visit.

Popped in before going to football. Fitted us in at short notice. Great landlord with good beer choice, was driving so couldn't sample the craft choices. The food was excellent, burger was juicy and very tasty, probably the best I've ever had. Will defo be back.

Amazing food , excellent service and priced right ! Happy belly !! Really good ales too !

Food exceptionally good,friendly staff,great decor and atmosphere,definitely recommend a visit,very good value for money

Delicious food and lovely atmosphere.

Wow!! Enjoy my meal Enjoy my drinks 🍸 🤪 😋 xx

Nice small bar/ restaurant with good food. Have been several times but this is the first time we have eaten there. Will be eating there again

The best cheese pie ever !! What a lovely, cosy, friendly place.

Faultless, well priced, fantastic service, great staff, great food, great beer, good ambiance!! Will be going back for definite.

Nice little place hopefully helping to raise Accrington from the ashes

Had a meal here this evening with some of the ladies from Trinity Community Church. The food and service were excellent and we'll definitely be back

Booked a family meal for my birthday. The food was excellent, we had a lovely day. Great staff. Great range of real ales.

Wonderful pub serving craft and real ale. Food we had was freshly cooked and reasonable price. Good crack from landlord.

Fab food, lovely staff, love this place, well priced

I have eaten here twice now and both times the food has been delicious. I had the cheese pie on my first visit and the sirloin steak the second time. Both freshly cooked and served promptly. The only small thing I would mention is that we were not offered any desserts after our mains courses and I'm sure they would be absolutely delicious going off the standard of the mains! Will definitely be eating here again! An asset to the town!

This is an amazing place. Service is awesome. Set up and decor is fabulous. This has to be the best place I’ve had food in Lancashire never mind Accrington.

Surprise lunch for Mandys birthday. Everyone had a great time. Food was great and the staff lovely. Nothing was too much trouble.
