Great food. Great atmosphere. I had cheese and onion pie with leeks. Service was really good. Food was superb. Beer garden, not too fat from train station. They even had Lancashire Sauce. Bonus.

One of the best pub dining experiences I've had. Excellent food served promptly. Attentive and friendly staff. Pleasant traditional pub surroundings if a bit tired. Great selection of traditional beers as well as the usual lager and cider. Recommended.

Visited today as a family of 4 for Mothersday. The food was delicious, fish absolutely massive and succulent. Service, very polite. It was a very laid back, comfortable atmosphere. We travelled from Manchester to take our Grandmother out, and will defo be returning each time we visit again. A standard mean around £17, very reasonable priced!

We don't get much of a chance to go out unless the kids are away but every time we do, we go to the Hop Vine. It never fails to impress; superb food (I always go for the haddock), superb ale brewed on the premises and superb staff (tonight our table service was provided by Poppy who was both courteous and efficient). Thank you again to the Hop Vine.

Came to the Hop Vine last night for a meal to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday with close family. Was a well picked place, everyone was very impressed with the staff and food. The staff went above and beyond in making us feel welcome even though the pub was very busy . The food was delicious and we have all spoken highly on returning in the near future. We was also there to celebrate Burns night (which we didn't realise it was that night) and what a lovely way to spend it. A bag piper there and we got to expiernce it. Thankyou to all the staff at The Hop Vine for helping to make a night to remember, so glad we picked here. Booking is essential in advance due to good food

Food was spot on. Unfortunately the service was slow. We ended up not having a desert because we waited too long. We brought this to the attention of staff. They informed the manager quickly. She was very concerned & gave us a voucher for our next visit. Which was a nice touch. We will return .

Real good ales, with a couple of pretty hard to find German weisses. It was über busy when we visited, but the barmaids were all really on the ball with keeping track of who was next at the bar and dead friendly despite being rushed off their feet. Great atmosphere, and glad we took the trip out of Wigan to try somewhere different. Have heard food things about the food, but didn't order this time. Will definitely sample the menu next time

Rumoured to be the best pub in West Lancashire...and I can believe it. I just started going in regularly, and it really is a nice, traditional Pub. No blaring TV screens or fruit machines to be found, and they have a great selection of drink, served up by quite beautiful staff. Highly recommended. 🍻

Given a warm welcome on arrival. Booked a table for eight diners. The waitresses were friendly and helpful, bringing all the meals within minutes of each other, so no one was waiting to eat. (well done to the chef). The food was de-lic-ious! The whole pub atmosphere was pleasant and not too noisy or loud music. . Overall, a lovely meal had by all our table. I don't live locally, but will certainly make the effort to visit again. The manager can be proud of his staff. Highly recommend it.

Always a busy pub in the centre of Burscough. The food is traditional pub grub. Everything is fresh, well cooked and locally sourced There is a good selection of drinks as well with an on site micro brewery making their own ale. If you want food it's best to book in advance, but it's a good pub just to pop in for a pint, though it can be standing room only of an evening on the weekend.

Called into here on Saturday night with friends. Lovely pub, sat down and got nice and comfy. Started drinking only to be told we had to move because someone wanted to eat there and they had booked. Fine, but maybe think about putting a reserved sign on the table. Also, I am no prude, but the girl servers skirts are none existence. It bothered me (and I am fine, it may not bother them) but sitting there you can see some blokes eyes popping out when ever they went passed or bent over.

Well, the Hop Vine have truly excelled themselves! Family had only booked for 8 but the group had increased to 13, and the restaurant was fully booked. But amazingly, they managed to squeeze everyone in (without being squashed) and on adjacent tables too. The service was second to none - heaven knows how they coped so quickly with the increase in orders - all brought to the tables served absolutely professionally in next to no-time. Delicious doesn't do it justice - all meals were reported to be top notch quality and visually appealing. And all due to the hard work and willingness of the friendly staff to accommodate the group without compromising any of their high standards. So thank you so much, staff at Hop Vine - you made a spontaneous family/friends gathering into an occasion to remember for all the very best of reasons. The family will be back!

A late Sunday evening visit,so cannot comment on the food because we didn't eat. All I can say is there's plenty of staff to help your needs the beer choice is plentiful and it still feels like a traditional British pub with a good selection some which is brewed in the micro brewery on site.

I have been here to the Hop Vine many, many times, too many times to count, honestly. I have tried a wide range of their menu, from their Steak and Ale pie, their Fish & Chips, their Hunter’s Chicken, their Rumpsteak, i’ve had the lot. So it’s safe to say i am somewhat of a connoisseur of their food. And for all the times i’ve visited, i’ve never once been let down by not just the food, but also the service. The memories i’ve been able to share here over the years, have been nothing short of fond ones. But, alas. Today’s meal, i had something different from the norm. Today i decided that i’d order their Wild Mushroom Linguini. Which i must say, most people would not think this was pub grub. For what i had you’d think it was from a proper Italian restaurant. It was scrumptious, however. It really was. The creaminess of the base, the soft texture of the linguini, the chewy and flavourful mushrooms, the subtle spinach and leek add some subtle flavours, along with the parmesan, it was brilliant, utterly marvellous, in fact. Service, as usual, was superb. The waitress’s are always attentive and all ears out for your every needs. Decor is very cozy and warm, too. I can imagine this place feeling like home in the winter months. As i have been here so many times, and i’ve never once been disappointed, i would recommend you bob on by for either a drink alone or some great pub grub! 5/5 on all fronts.

Myself and a friend organised a baby shower celebration in the Coach Suite at the Hop Vine, Burscough. I would thoroughly recommend checking the Hop out, if your planning a celebration. Mike, Julie, Katie, Ellie and lovely Hannah behind the bar were super attentive and nothing was too much trouble. They arranged afternoon tea for over 40 ladies and I have to say for the price (£10 per person). It was one of the best afternoon tea's I've ever had. The sandwiches were lovely and fresh. Scones and cakes, tea and prosecco were plentiful.

Callen today after booking a table and I was very disappointed with the service received. I have been the hopvine many times and although in not local to burscough I still enjoy the food which is always nice and well presented. The service I usually find ok as I know it's a busy pub and waiting is at times is unavoidable. However, today I found the service very poor and unprofessional in terms that we was sat at our table, menues given and basically that was it, apart from someone coming over to take a drinks order, no one bothered to come and ask for a food order or even to ask if we was ready to order, I had to seek a waitress down which felt awkward and by this time I'd had enough, my wife who has poor mobility, hard of hearing and not in good health felt disappointed at the whole scenario. It won't put me off going to the hopvine but I felt today the service was terrible and we ended leaving as we both felt that the enjoyment had filtered, I feel some staff are better then others and today I feel the worst staff was in.
