The Dog Inn in Hyndburn

We booked in for the "Tasting Menu", which we really hope will be a regular thing! The Chef, Jamie created a special "Death Row" menu to showcase his favourite food, and it did not disappoint. It was all absolutely fabulous! Everything made from scratch with meticulous care, from local ingredients. Sorry my photos do not do these courses justice, as I couldn't help but tuck in when the dish was placed in front of me. Each course would not have been out of place in a restaurant that might charged at least four times the price. So rally good value! Starting with the perfect Espresso Martini, frothy and flavoursome. Starting with cheese bread which was delicious and fresh, amazing marmite butter, and gorgeous creamy, frothy mushroom soup. The "raw beef" (Carpaccio) was melt in the mouth tender, with surprising, but perfect, accompaniments. The Cod Roe (taramasalata) was really lovely, Jamie had smoked the roe himself, and blended it just right to fill his homemade choux buns. The star of the meal for me, was the rib of beef, which was a very generous portion, and had been perfectly cooked with all sorts of tasty and smokey flavours, and soooo tender, served with Pomme Anna and Asparagus with hollandaise. The pudding, was likewise all made by Jamie, and just right! Banana ice cream shaped into a banana and covered in white chocolate, and really flavoursome chocolate ice cream, with peanut crunchy brittle sprinkles. Another of my favourite courses (difficult to choose...) was Jamie's crumpets with a very fancy cheese, his onion jam and grated truffle. Truly a perfect meal. I went with five other friends, and everyone, loved everything! Even the raw beef sceptic really enjoyed it!

Recently attended Jamie's Death Row taster evening. What a night! The food and atmosphere was brilliant 👏. The time and effort that Jamie made in preparing and presenting the six course gourmet menu was outstanding. As for value for money - without a doubt. Can't wait for the next one Jamie 🤩

Just tried there new Wednesday pie and a pint deal for £10 and what a great pie it was. Excellent service and the greatest atmospher that you will find in any country pub.

We visited at lunchtime and the quality of the food and the friendly staff made for a great first visit. Plenty of choice on the menu. I can highly recommend the "famous" onion rings.. they were excellent. Highly recommended for lunch

Was visiting the area and looking for somewhere to eat and settled here. We hadn’t booked but they found us a table and we had a very decent Sunday lunch in the evening. Very good meat, nice fresh veg and a decent Yorkshire pudding. Good desserts too. Very happy with everything.

We came for a Sunday dinner. Food was delicious, as usual and the staff were friendly and helpful! Will definitely return.

Thought we would try the food out as we will be staying close by in the new year. We are not big lunch eaters so we opted for a starter each and some fries. I ordered the garlic mushrooms and boy am I glad I did. They were absolutely delish and served piping hot. The creamy garlic sauce was superb. My wife had the Chicken liver pate and she loved it. She said it was very tasty and just the right amount. The fries were very nice too, nice and crispy.

Visited about six times now and have never been disappointed. The drinks are very reasonably priced, especially the wines, with the beers being well kept (a good pint). The food was excellent again, we both had the cheese and onion pie which was top notch along with great chips, seasonal veg and with a jug of great gravy to top it off. The locals or other customers are always very friendly which I believe comes from being in very pleasant surroundings. We always take our dog with us and she always seems to enjoy her visit. I would give the Dog Inn top marks and hope to visit many times in the future, even though it is about an hours round trip for us it has always been well worth it.

Gorgeous country pub with amazing views!! We had a fantastic meal at The Dog today. Really delicious roast beef dinner. The side order of cauliflower cheese was just beautiful. Your own jug of gravy, really yummy. We had everything on the dessert menu between us and it was all delicious, I have very high standards when it comes to food but this place ticked all the boxes and was very reasonably priced. Great staff, lovely atmosphere. I would recommend this place 👍😀

This is the only restaurant I’ve ever been to where you can’t order drinks at the table!! People constantly walking past you on the way to get drinks. Menu very limited but that may be a Sunday thing with only 4 main course to choose from, what we were served was nice enough but small portions and very slow service. Don’t think we’ll be back soon.

Had such a lovely night out here for food. Never really get out with having a new born baby and the staff were so friendly and accommodating to us and helped us in the best way possible! They made it easy for us to eat, providing hot water to warm baby’s bottle and the chef Jamie also putting my food under the lamps in the kitchen so it didn’t go cold & I could see to baby. We’ve been back a couple times since and plan on going more in the future! I’ve never been somewhere with better service and friendlier staff!

Sorry been looking forwards to a meal here....but today wasn't the best meal I've had ..husband had Sunday roast 3 thin slices of beef 3 well done roast potatoes mash potatoes 2 carrots 2 broccoli I Yorkshire pud...nearly £19 not worth it sorry.....I had roast cauliflower dinner. Mash 3hard potatoes 2 carrots 1 broccoli. 4cauliflower then a bowl of cauliflower cheese? Funny roast cauliflower...Not the best sorry for a not brilliant review

Just called to The Dog Inn , Belthorn . I have just had the best Fish , chips and peas with a pot of chip shop curry sauce Friendly staff , beautiful community run pub , I could not fault a single thing . Please give s it a try ,especially Thursdays on the Chippy Tea night , you won't be disappointed. And everything is home made on the premises by the kitchen staff.

After reading the reviews o had to visit !!! So glad I did absolutely amazing food served with passion,great to see a pub in full swing !! Keep up the good work guys your smashing it.

The food here is absolutely amazing, and for the price, it's by far the best pub food anywhere near or around Blackburn and Lancashire. It's now our 'GO TO' place for lunch. The staff are amazingly polite, and the atmosphere is great too. The menu two for £21 is brilliant.

There are some great Sunday roasts in restaurants around Lancashire but very rarely do you get this level of quality. Well done Jamie and your great team.

Delicious Sunday roast again and such a beautiful setting to eat in! Great prices too and friendly staff. Would recommend.

Started coming here after moving into the area The food every visit is superb The hanging steak best ever tasted ,husband loved his steak pudding The food is consistent the service fabulous well done guys 👏👏👏

Had the special offer 2 courses for £14.95 before 5pm. Garlic mushrooms followed by homemade steak pudding, chips and veg. All very delicious as usual. I always enjoy dining at the Dog Inn.

Absolutely fantastic valentines night meal tonight. Worthy of a Michelin star in our opinion. Very friendly and attentive service and an all round brilliant experience. This is a real jewel in the crown of a restaurant and pub, cannot recommend it highly enough

What an absolutely fabulous find!!! Had a superb meal for a very reasonable price. The food was served hot and portions were good. I can recommend the salt n pepper chicken pieces, they were really tasty. Four of us ate and we all agreed that the food was excellent. The bar is well stocked with a good choice. We weren’t rushed into ordering which was just as well as the menu has plenty choice and deciding is difficult!! We had a leisurely meal, staff checked we were ok but weren’t pushy at all. The bill was presented promptly when requested. Think we will be visiting again. Really impressed.

We chanced on a visit for Sunday lunch today and were highly delighted with the food, the service and the overall ambiance. A total gem of a place. Lloyd and Lois were our servers and nothing was too much trouble for them. We felt so welcome. The quality of the food was delicious and surpassed expectations. The garlic mushrooms with truffle and Lancashire cheese were an absolute triumph. The roast beef was sublime and the seasonal vegetables were carefully chosen and delicious. Two courses at £19.95 was excellent value for money and I wouldn’t hesitate to return. Truly excellent in every way.

Just burnt my mouth on the most delicious cheese pie I've ever had as I couldn't *wait* for it to cool down! WOW 🚑 A wonderfully relaxed restaurant situated in a lovely picturesque village just outside of Blackburn. Thank you Lloyd and the team! 💖

Steak pudding as well as the fish n chips were fantastic as well as very reasonable prices. Wait staff pleasing. View 10+

Nipped in over the weekend and we were really pleased with this little find! The atmosphere was great, the lady behind the bar was really friendly and welcoming. Although it was busy the wait times were minimal and we got our food promptly which was great considering it was made fresh. I got the beef and it was cooked perfectly, the chef clearly takes pride in his work! The plates were a good size and the price was very reasonable. We sat in the restaurant and the views of the countryside were beautiful. We will definitely be back soon, I have my eye on the fish and chips - I spotted another table ordered it and it looked delicious! Thank you The Dog Inn, we will see you again soon :)

Went for a Sunday roast beef dinner , the gravy was stone cold it wasn’t in a separate pot like advertised, the potatoes had obviously been cooked roasted frozen then reheated in the oven because when you finally managed to cut into it it was all dried and cracked on the inside of the potato , he then told me they had been cooked that morning which I then thought don’t insult my intelligence as I use to be a chef , the Yorkshire pudding was burnt and dried out that much it didn’t have a middle , the parsnips had been boiled and not roasted in the oven , the so called cauliflower cheese was a watery mess with no homemade cheese sauce it was absolutely horrendous , also a tea spoon of horseradish sauce between two people there wasn’t anymore on offer , desert was a crème brûlée which was just a sloppy mess not even a crunch to the topping ! I’m really disappointed when I had such high expectations.

Went for Sunday Dinner. The only thing edible on the plate was the Roast Beef. The Home Made Yorkshire Pudding was Soft burnt and tasted strange. The roast potatoes were so hard I could not cut into them. The Gravy was cold. For pudding I ordered the crème brûlée when it came it was just a sloppy custard not Crème brûlée at all. Extremely disappointed at the standard of the food served

Went out for dinner at The Dog Inn, was not disappointed. The service was amazing. Lloyd was waiting on and he was very customer focused. I am Coeliac and ordered the GF fish & chips, which was delicious. My partner ordered the Hanger Steak, which he said he really enjoyed. We then shared a dessert, GF sticky toffee pudding, to die for! One of the tastiest desserts I’ve had in a long time. Followed by an espresso each, mine decaffeinated. A lovely evening spent at the Dog Inn and top class service from Lloyd and Jamie the Chef and the rest of the staff. Lovely super friendly pub. Comfortable surroundings, nice decor. We will definitely be returning soon on.

Best salt and pepper chicken... EVER! Thank you to our lovely waiter Lloyd! Definitely recommend, yum!

A lovely place. Great Manager. She is so friendly. Great Chef. Fabulous food and service. Views to die for and a glass balcony to enjoy them. A warm experience not to be missed.

My wife and I had a lovely birthday lunch at this cosy restaurant and bar with amazing views over Pennine Lancashire. We enjoyed two main courses from the £18 for two menu choice. The homemade tagliatelle was a delight served with a wild garlic and sunflower seed pesto Homemade garlic focaccia suplimented the dish. Homemade steak pudding with chips to die for was enjoyed by my wife. The restaurant was quiet and intimate. Talking to the chef there was a genuine passion to succeed with emphasis on quality and flavour. A pub/restaurant not too far away may offer big portions but lacks flavour. The Dog Inn ticks all the boxes and we will definitely be back. A word about this community run pub. Drinks are very reasonable priced with a nice atmosphere.

Amazing place. Friendly and professional staff. Out of this world food! Very reasonable prices. I highly recommend the salt and pepper chicken! My husband had the steak and said it was one of the best he has ever had.

Great pub/restaurant. Had the beef Sunday roast. Very nice indeed and the staff very attentive and friendly. Lovely views at back of pub. Recommended

Steak night at the Dog. Two hanger steaks, truffle and Parmesan fries, broccoli and a sauce plus a decent bottle of red wine for £35.00. Absolute bargain. Beautifully cooked. Great food and service. Plus an amazing view across the moors. Excellent.

Went for lunch with my husband and dad. The food was amazing, we had cheese & onion pie, steak & the lamb followed by sticky toffee pudding and creme brûlée. It was delicious. The views are fantastic too and our friend Lloyd looked after us. We definitely recommend it and will be back

Excellent fish and chips, great value, friendly and efficient service. Apparently you can see Blackpool tower on a clear day.

We had our Sunday dinner at The Dog Inn Belthorn. It was absolutely superb. Dog Inn garlic mushrooms are the best I have ever tasted. £19.95 for 2 course Sunday dinner is really good value too.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish . 5 course valentines meal , gorgeous food , wonderful staff . Couldn’t have asked for more .

Delicious Sunday dinner as always - the fish pie was divine and the Apple crumble cheesecake was to die for. You can taste the heart and soul in each bite. If you are looking for a good roast and a warm welcome then this is...
