The Crown Inn in Rossendale

Recently moved to the area and tried the nearest pub...big mistake. From the outside its disgusting, never seen bieng cleaned. As for the inside really not much better, and certainly don't take your coat of, it's so cols even the regulars appoligised. Service was quite good until the older man came on the bar, a little rude. Might try again in warmer weather

Food was awful atmosphere was when we walked in the clock seemed to stop and everyone looked at us NEVER GO THERE AGAIN 😱😱

Quaint put always busy has lots of different things on throughout the year one being the britannia coconutters has charity auctions too

Friendly local pub with a great crowd. Great selection of beers-some from local brewers. The good is excellent and the chef goes the extra mile to accommodate your needs. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Was out walking the and called in here as they had a lot of outside tables. Enjoyed a really nice pint, or two. Plenty of choice of alcoholic beverages. Nice surroundings.

Within 2 minutes of being in the place I got an at home feeling and it was like I was a regular even though it was a first time visit The bar staff were really friendly and the regular customers were just as friendly also The purpose of our visit was to try the food as it was highly recommended by various friends. I had a cheese and onion pie and my wife had a Beef dinner , we also ordered 2 children’s meals one nuggets and one sausage When all the meals arrived I was really impressed as it was homemade pub grub at its finest and all at a very reasonable price So if your looking for a nice pub lunch or tea don’t look any further it’s one of them places you will so happy that you’ve found it and always go back

iv never had food here as im always at the bar drinkg their fine real ales, the bar staff are ugly and need a wash and the local are barking mad,upon walking through the door my first impression was"this reminds me of the bar in star wars" dont take my word for it,come and see for yourselves

Called in off the cuff to see if they do food ? only the barmaid in and us, no smells or menu's on display to indicate food being served so we sat outside and had our drinks weighing the place up. We will give it another go at a later date and hopefully there will be some kind of atmosphere and maybe food.

Arrived too early as the Inn did not open till 2pm on Friday, but were welcomed by the lovely staff, who offered a good choice of food and hospitality. The place is full of character and the food freshly cooked and delicious (chips to die for!!) and yummy puddings. Well worth a visit.

My husband and myself came here for a meal and wasn't disappointed, the food is excellent. There isn't a great choice but whet they have is really good.

Great selection of ales and always a good choice of food. The pies are our favourite food, closely followed by the very tasty Sunday lunches.

What a cracker of a pub. The food served is really great value, the staff are all long serving and friendly. The Crown has a fabulous Gin Menu with a great choice of tonics, served with fresh fruit. Very refreshing. Food is served from 5pm during the week except Tuesdays. Weekends from 12 noon. Please be aware last orders for food is 7:30pm. Curry half and half is my favourite. They have a very good Facebook Page which keeps all followers up to date with forthcoming events and offers.. I keep returning again and again and again.

I visited The Crown after seeing a couple of good reviews on TA , and I would like to start this one by thanking those reviewers for pointing me in the direction of the Crown. I was aware before I visited that this was a village pub which served meals and did not therefore expect subtle lighting, chintz and ambient music! What you get is a wood panelled main bar with tables of various sizes set around the room, the feeling is of warmth, there is a real fire in the grate, and age. Menus are placed on the tables and ordering is done at the bar, though the food is brought to you at table. The menu is quite extensive with starters, mains and desserts, but also a good range of light bites and snacks are on offer. As it was a Sunday I chose the soup (cream of mushroom and asparagus), the roast lamb dinner and finished with ginger sponge and custard. The soup was served in a china soup bowl, in the shape of a small tureen, and was accompanied by a warm bread roll and a pat of butter. I would note here that the butter was at room temperature and easily spreadable and not (as in many places) served straight from the fridge necessitating hacking it into small pieces or trying to soften it using the warmed soup spoon! This is a big plus point in my opinion. The soup itself was excellent. The roast lamb dinner turned out to be a full lamb shank beautifully cooked in a light gravy, (a gravy boat was also supplied), accompanied by seasonal vegetables , two types of potatoes; mash and roast , and two small Yorkshire puddings, mint sauce was also provided.The lamb was cooked to perfection and the whole was everything I had hoped for when i ordered it. Finally the dessert, ginger sponge and custard, but also with a ginger sauce , was the perfect end to an outstanding meal. Simple, well cooked, served at the right speed (this is NOT fast food) . All in all a great experience, I will most certainly be going back. In conclusion.... If you want "posh" this isn't for you, BUT if you want great food,a wide ranging menu, lovely staff and a price that won't make you wince, then there can't be many better than the Crown

What better than a traditional sunday lunch and a great real ale. Always a warm and friendly welcome ad great atmosphere and now good food too.

Been going to this place over the last 20 years and still love it. As best man to 2 of my good pals they both included this place on the itinary. i would call it my local but when we do go out in Bacup this cosy hole is always on the plan. Great atmosphere and friendly welcome. A somewhat rare occurrence in most watering establishments these days. I will also note as a gay man my partner and I have never, never had any problem in this pub. Credit to you all.

Absolutely the best boozer in Bacup Brilliant beers and prices, fantastic atmosphere and pretty good special events from time to time I love going there as I do year after year

Great pub food, great beer, very good prices. Love the Crown! Good place for just a nice beer (their cask ales are great and change regularly) or a good cheap meal (pub grub at amazing prices and decent quality)!

The food here has improved in recent months... It needed to! Always a nice smile from the bar staff and always a good atmosphere in the pub.

Great traditional pub with excellent food and good real ales. The staff are always pleasant and helpful well worth a visit.

Great for food drinks and entertainment. The chips are amazing. This has now become my local. Friendly staff. Pool table .

La casa público crown y restaurante es un lugar para visitar alguna vez te encuentras en las cercanías de Bacup de Lancashire. Hogar de los famosos bailarines coconutters Brittania, sirve buena comida y una lista variada de cervezas y licores. El ambiente es genial y encontrará una cálida bienvenida le espera. En determinadas noches artistas aparecen y una buena noche está asegurada

Hemos estado en la corona varias veces ahora, con grupos grandes de 12 personas. La comida y el servicio es fantástico y es un ambiente muy amable

Nos las arreglamos para conseguir una mesa para cuatro sin reserva un domingo por la tarde. Casa tradicional comida casera que era caliente y recién preparada. Budín de RAG, patatas, guisantes y una salsera por £6. 50 todo, comimos contenido. Otras comidas que había incluido a pierna de cordero, carnes guisadas y bistec n ale tarta. . Todos acompañados por un tributo de Elvis en el fondo. Ambiente craqueo! Lo recomiendo y volveremos sin falta.

Fuimos aquí para el almuerzo de hoy. Lugar agradable, servicio rápido con una sonrisa. Las patatas fritas son mano hecha y brillante. Nada de patatas fritas horno basura. Mucha variedad en el menú, y a un precio razonable. La salsa es absolutamente deliciosa. La variedad de cervezas es impresionante. Tan impresionante, que la corona ha sido nombrada como CAMRA Pub del año 2017.

We stopped here after funding good reviews on Trip Advisor and weren't disappointed! The atmosphere was very friendly, service was prompt & the food was awesome. We both had a baguette which came with the best chips I've ever had. The pub was having a real ale festival too. The 3 third pint samples he had he said were lovely. Wish this pub was our local.

Lovely atmosphere second time we have visited this venue friendly customers and staff nice sunny day so was able to sit outside

I had heard very good reports of The Crown so, as I am periodically in Backup, decided to give it a try. It took me about 3 attempts to get there (not too much of a problem as I was passing by) when they were open for food so I would suggest a 'phone call to check before going but you will definitely be OK at weekends.My perseverance was rewarded with an excellent meal, I chose the rag pudding (a local delicacy from a local butcher) having shared a starter platter with my son who had their burger of which he fully approved and he's a bit of an expert. Didn't manage a pudding as we had both been well sated already. We will definitely be going again in the not-to-distant future. In addition to the quality and portion size I am happy to confirm that the pricing is very fair.Highly recommended

Welcoming friendly atmosphere. Great friendly staff. Bacup locals also friendly. Always some entertainment every weekend i.e. Disco/artisteGreat place to visit

We live in Bacup but up until August I had never been here. We attended a charity event organised by a family member and was was lucky enough to win a meal voucher which meant we visited in September to take advantage of our win.My son and I visited on a Friday evening and must say we really enjoyed our food and overall experience, the Crown is a proper pub, stone floors, real ales and simple food, right up my street! The girl behind the bar is a delight, been infancy dress 2 out of 3 times I have been in!! They have just launched a new menu and I plan on calling in to eat again before Christmas!

Warm and friendly old traditional pub. Very good pub grub. Friendly staff and wonderful owners Ray and Yvonne. Lots of festivals throughout the year worth visiting.

Great pub great atmosphere great entertainment and family friendly. Best pub I've been in for a very long time. Thanks Yvonne & Ray

Nice traditional pub suitable for all ages, with lovely owners and friendly staff. Great value and great tasting pub grub, Steak & Ale Pie highly recommended. Always a nice atmosphere, with entertainment organised regularly. A must for a visit if you are in the area.

Fabulous pub with a great atmosphere, amazing food & top turns/entertainment.Very friendly staff & proprietors...,Can't fault the place

Can i say The Crown is the best pub i av been in for over 35 yrs . Good food great staff and a cracking pair of owners

Lovely little pub, serves decent, good value for money pub grub and a great selection of ales. Nice atmosphere

Great ale, friendly staff, traditional ambiance, good food. Has pool, darts n regular entertainment from bands to poker nights. Great beer festivals in May and October. Always worth a visit any day of the week...can't beat the Brewers Gold...great pint!!

Always use this pub when in the area as it is the most friendly for all ages.A very good pint of Sam Smiths can be had there as well as Sams Mild.Entertainment can be found on some weekends as well as the Bacup Coco nutters .If you want a pub where you can be ar ease and enjoy good company this is the place.

Absolutely brilliant pub as I say ye oldey worldy pub character a plenty and the owners and staff are amazing ,very friendly and will do anything for u xx Lots of variety drinks wise and great food xx

This is a traditional pub selling a choice of draught beers and typical bar food. The Hester burger may be a challenge too far for those not hungry enough to eat a horse

Great atmosphere, stone floored, good old worldly pub. Needs food service extension as serving stops at 7:00 pm. Beer excellent and good choice of real ales

The food is very good and not to expensive with a great atmosphere log fires and stone floors good place to eat on a sunny afternoon

I come here a lot and have done for years, and I always will! The staff have been great and the grub is good however for a friendly pub like this, it'll be 5 stars if it was dog friendly! There used to be dogs in their from previous owners but for this type of pub, there would be nothing better than going for a long walk and taking your well behave dog by your side to sit by the fire with a pint! I once asked a woman there if it is dog friendly, however she wasn't so friendly about it! I havnt seen her since however she could of been nicer about it. On the plus side there is a dog bowl outside, they just need to keep an eye on it! Other than that, highly recommended! I must say as a dog owner I travel and research dog friendly pubs, and Iam not bothered if it's £2 a pint or £4 a pint, i go where I can take my dog! The crown is defiantly missing the passing trade from dog walkers etc.

Very down to earth pub, with very good cheap food which finishes serving at 7 pm. Friendly atmosphere with original flagged floors and open fire.

I have been going in the crown for almost 50 years trevor and kath made the pub the best,and now ray and Yvonne the new owners(last 10 years) run it spot on,the food is home cooked and very good

Recently moved to Bacup and thought that we would try the local pub for a Sunday lunch,we where not disappointed,the food was excellent and staff were very friendly,the food was all homemade and the lamb and beef melted in your mouth.i will be a regular visitor.

the food was fantastic and the place itself warm and friendly really enjoyable.we would come again as we enjoyed it so much

We first visited around Christmas 2014 and thanks to Ste the chef ( who personally came over to check everything was to our satisfaction) we all enjoyed a delicious meal. However our second visit last week was a bitter disappointment, dirty tables, several items not available, long waiting times and a poor quality meal, we could not believe this was the same pub we visited and enjoyed over Christmas. Sorry but we wont be going again.

Very unfriendly pub , food pretty awful .Visited for a meal and what I thought would be a good pint , what a mistake that was.

Basic average home cooked food with no service as such. Quite disappointed after reading the reviews. Sticky table, drink whipped away before I had finished, limp chips and lukewarm steak. Not on my list of return visits

I first went in this pub about 16 years ago when the late and sadly missed Trevor ran it as a very tight ship. In all the years I went there I never saw any trouble as potential troublemakers were just not allowed in. On top of that it had great beer, good food and a really nice atmosphere.It's not as good as it used to be and the food has definitely taken a turn for the worse lately - last time we visited and ordered sandwiches we were told they had run out of chips and butter...staples any establishment would keep a stock of.Whilst the Crown isn't as good as it used to be it's still probably the best pub in Bacup. The Sam Smiths Old Brewery bitter is a fantastic pint and I still consider it my local.But needs to lose that terrible Alien 'statue' on top of the entrance.

This great little palce is just "round the corner" from where I live and I am mor than happy to recommend it to anyone. Pleasant pub atmosphere with a good menu for all ocassions from bar snacks to full Family fare. and the Beer selection is great too.

We decided to experience the crown inn after reading some remarkable reviews and seeing it had a 5* food rating. upon experiencing it for myself, the crown inn definitely lived up to its name. The customer service is one of the highest standard I have ever received, the menu had a good range of choice (everything cooked from scratch) and amazing value for money. I can definitely say I have had a great evening at the crown inn and will be returning shortly with my daughter as it also seems very child friendly early on in the evening. Thank you crown inn for giving me an enjoyable returnable experience.

Very high standard of customer service and top notch food! Deffo deserve their 5* food rating. Will be back again

when passing thro Bacup looking for something to eat , we found this gem .we agree with the other reviews - the home made food is excellent My wife ordered a portion of onion rings which were non - processed , freshly made to a very high standard - in fact the best she has ever tasted we only needed a light bite so I had the soup and the beef and onion baguette - this was also exceptional with the beef melting in the mouthAs i was driving i did not drink them but noticed a very good selection of real alesFinally the Crown was very welcoming both in terms of the coal fire and the very helpful and friendly staff

A family friendly pub serving good food at a very good price. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Eat regularly at The Crown, staff always friendly, food exceptional value. The only pub in Bacup for me. Stone floor and roaring fires add to the atmosphere. A great night out!

Had a great meal at the Crown last night, 5 March. Nothing was too much for the friendly staff especially Steve. Lovely food and good value for money. All this and a proper pub atmosphere who could ask for more.

Welcoming atmosphere, excellent customer service & value for money. The first of many visits to come.
