The Griffin Inn in Rossendale

If, like me, you like no frills pubs with excellent beer, plenty of room to stretch your legs out and a relaxed vibe, then you are in the right place. A friend recommended this place. To be honest, I'd driven past many times and promised I'd go in but never did til now. I'm annoyed with myself, I didn't go in sooner now. Anyway, here we are. The beer is brewed on the premises and lovingly crafted. I had a pint of Rossendale ale, which I am still fondly remembering. My mind is saying go back, go back. I will, I will!!

Barstaff are lovely, the ale is really good, unfortunately the "regulars" ruin this experience if your not regular and local your not very welcome

Nice friendly atmosphere and good range of internally brewed beers.

Loved this place, a proper real ale pub, with ale that is lovely to drink. A small bit nice outside area with lovely views and lots of space inside. It's a small brewery tap by the feel of it, and the huge sign on the gable, which had been going for a long time, hence the great beer

OMG! These pints are made in heaven. I always wanted to go after a personal recommendation from a friend. Finally made it and would definitely go there again. Their own brewed beers are soo good!! The sunshine one is my personal favourite.

Great atmosphere, fantastic cask beers, doggy friendly too... Definitely a place to visit....

Very good food at a very good price, also, a very good selection of beer, I recommend the Rossendale Ale. Very welcoming, so definitely a place to go again👍

Lovely place to enjoy food and drink.

Lovely welcoming pub with the best beer around by far! On your own or in a group you can't go wrong.

Griffin has own brewery below with a wide range of 'real ales'Good for just drinking& chat.Food has a Cuban influence-cheesychips a great snack!

It's a brew pub, with quality ales (the porter is class!), friendly staff, and super friendly locals. A proper community boozer! Support it!

Called for a few beers early this Thursday evening. Excellent service, the Warsteiner was on excellent form, also a good selection of real ales. Proper traditional pub, open fire, friendly clientele, dogs allowed. Perfect.

Great pub, great atmosphere we popped in after a walk from the rain. We sat at a lovely table near the window & after sampling the local beer which was good we ordered Cuban meat balls & carnie steak frita, both were equally lovely. So glad Cangi and Geoff moved back into this pub, its a lovely pub with lovely people. We will definitely be back ❤️

Beer Is Amazing Lynne is super friendly. This matters a lot in service industry

Nice and friendly local pub with a good selection of ales on offer well worth a visit.

We came in short notice with a table of 7, service was great and the food was amazing. Really made our trip to this gorgeous village. The chef did a great job!

Good beer and dogs welcome now serving food and what we had pizza one meat and one vegan and what a surprise homemade pizza dough and lovely toppings we recommend a visit. Next03/03/23 visit for food and beer very good food beer to die for all at a reasonable price plenty of people eating and drinking i definitely recommend a visit.on my last visit there is very little vegetarian options and only pizza what a shame as thay all ways did a good selection for vegetarians 2 September 23

Old fashioned local with good beers.

A really lovely little local. Great ales and cheap prices 👍

Really lovely pub with friendly staff and great own-brewed beer. Very reasonable prices and some nice views of the Rossendale valley.

Best pint in Lancashire. Wothout exception. Microbrewery produces excellent ales. A finely kept secret.

Great original little micro pub, around a long time before others started popping up. Serves Cuban infused food too. Great food and drink at great prices.

Having wanted to come here for a while, we decided to take a trip on a cold snowy night, with it being only a 5 minute walk I have to say, it was well worth it. It's a quaint small pub with a nice atmosphere, locals conversing about their days and enjoying the log fire with their dogs. Me and my girlfriend were eager to try their burgers, she wanted to try the vegan one but sadly it was not available.. however the chef personally came over to her and discussed other options and gave up something he wanted for himself to make her something vegetarian on a whim. I was impressed he did that for her. The food was so good, I had a normal meat burger with chips and side salad, the meat was fresh as you can taste it was formed from proper mince beef and not randomly got from the freezer out of a box from Iceland. Hats off to you, I should also mention the drinks are so well priced.. £3.55 for a dissaronno and coke/JD coke.. Bravo. We are absolutley coming again.

Great beer and fantastic food. Food made to order,totally fresh. I had spicy meatballs, fantastic. My wife had a steak sandwich, equally as good. The best food in Rossendale, they could make a fortune.

Lovely food, great beer very accommodating of my two muddy Jack Russell's. A welcome stop off on a days walk.

Just moved to the area. Fantasic find. Micro brewery on site. Very reasonable prices for real ale, keg lager and cider. AND they serve food. Quiz night and sometimes entertainment weekends. That me sorted.

Been coming here since 1994, and this was our first vist in couple of years, and we will be back! The beer is as excellent as ever (great range and quality). We didn't even know food was available, but there were some very enthusiastic d.iners around. Pizzas, burgers and other things at prices that were amazing value. Just need to factor in a trip back to try the food.

As always it's a great place to eat with great tasting food and a little lovely atmosphere x

Lovely homemade food, nothing too much trouble

Fantastic beer and great food a real hidden gem

Love working here. Best pub ever! X

Good beer, a hidden gem in Haslingden

Dont want want anyone to go here as it's a time capsule in its own right. Bar snacks and beer brewed on the premises. Don't want it to get popular or I may not get to the bar!

Love the place. Fabulous beer. Nice people. Beautiful home cooked food. A national treasure!

Stopped for a quick drink. Sat out in the sun. Great and very friendly service. Will definitely go back.

Went to the Griffin yesterday lunch time for some grub, I had a Cuban Sandwich/panini and a filtered coffee and it filled the spot, sandwich was really good and the staff were very welcoming.👍👍👍thank you

Recently started serving food with some of the best extra thick chips, had the steak baguette which was filled with fresh well cooked strips of steak and the stuffed jalapeno peppers were nice and crisp. Will return to try the pizza which looks to be very popular. Proper pub to have a chat and proper ales that they make themselves

Good ale & a nice friendly place for a few beers and food is great

Great Beer brewed under your feet friendly staff and locals ... fantastic pub

Great beer, own brewery down stairs, great view. Friendly locals and Michelle behind the bar always has a smile.

Plenty of real ales and a friendly crowd.

I live out the area and go for weekends in our caravan but always call in the Griffin. Only been in an afternoon on a walk and sit in beer garden which really nice.

Friendly pub beer brewed on site at a reasonable price

Brilliant pub. Quality home brew. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Great place to call in for a quick pint or a good session on the Sunshine. 5 pints and it’s hometime!

Excellent local pub with its own brewery. My favourite tipple is Floral Dance which goes down a treat!

Local pup real ales warm welcome

Brew their own beer and have been doing this for years before it became trendy to have a microbrewery. If you want a quality, reasonably priced pint of real ale, this should be on your short list.

Good range of beer friendly staff and locals

Lovely relaxing, welcoming atmosphere.

Good, affordable ale and drinks. Nice friendly atmosphere.

Really excellent beer at a good price .

Friendly staff. Far from expensive

Good local .Friendly local atmosphere.

Cracking pints all brewed on the premises can't beat 'em join 'em

Bit scruffy inside but the beer is always on good form as it is brewed on the premises. Good local clientele and bar staff are friendly and helpful.

Great beer at great prices. Fantastic, friendly atmosphere. It's great to support a local business!

Lovely atmosphere, great beers on tap.

Proper pub doing there own ale. No frills just good folk. You must call for a pint or three.

Best beer in the valley, good local, good company!!

Great local brew pub with good selection of ale at a nice price

The best real ale I've tasted and at fantastically low prices. Plus a friendly welcome.

Very nice selection of cask beers.

A fine selection of beer brewed on site. Plenty of seating at the bar and in two rooms. Friendly local crowd, always someone to chat to. Godo service. Dart board available. Look out for special 'Cuban Nights' and cheap food deals.

Nice place to go and good beer to😀😁😂

Nice homemade brew what more can you want

Disappointed that there are still no ales being brewed at these premises, unfortunately having to consider enjoying a drink elsewhere. Looks like they will be losing custom

Traditional pub, nice people and bar staff to. Beer all ways good!

Some good home brewed beers with reasonable prices

Always good. Proper old fashioned pub, friendly, good service, great ale brewed on site.

Great pub with excellent friendly staff and welcoming customers. Best beer around.

Great Pub, Great Beer, Great People

Real ale for those appreciate a good pint!

If you love Cask Beers you can't get better than here, it has it's own brewery!!

A bit out of the way up hill, but attracts a good mixed crowd of people, good choices of beverage and good live music especially when INCIDERS ska/reggae band play.

Beer made on site. Good atmosphere.

Excellent atmosphere, wonderful place to be. Thanks.

Good beer, good craic. Decent old fashioned pub

The beer us second to none. As are the staff.you come in a stranger and leave as a local.
