The Nabs Head in South Ribble

Ordered 3 steaks all had a funny smell and aftertaste didn't eat them spoke to staff still paid thd bill as no offer to reduce the price dissapointed as not been since new owners and will not return sorry

Nice country pub, lovely staff and good food. Excellent Sunday roast, plate full and it was excellent 👌🏻

Lovely village pub. Warm friendly atmosphere, log fire, food and reasonably priced drinks. Nice little find and would definitely go back.

Excellent Sunday roast here, there was a choice of 3 meats or a mixture - I had beef & chicken. It was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. I’m a big fan of roasts and am usually disappointed but not with this one - I absolutely love cauliflower cheese and there it was!! Roasties perfect, veg cooked to perfection, gravy amazing and the Yorkshire pud was divine. Fab service and staff with good choice of drinks (we had a few pints of Paradise) Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏻

Friendly atmosphere, friendly staff, food was fantastic, we all had Sunday roast which was amazing. Highly recommend going if you haven’t been before. Great pint of Guinness to

Lovely lunch. Great fresh homecooked food. Friendly staff and great value. Definitely recommend.

We arrived 30 mins before they stopped serving food, we ordered and I have to say the food was delicious and the service was excellent, yes most definitely WORTH A VISIT, A very good stock of single malt whisky, and the Samlesbury Gold is a wonderful pint. ....... UPDATE... Saturday 20th January 2024 Booked a table at the Nab Head for 7. 5 adults 1 youth of 7 years and a toddler, a warm welcome was had by all, atmosphere was warm and friendly, a lovely log fire burning bright, the ale is outstanding the food was delicious and plentiful, the staff was absolutely marvellous, couldn't have wished for a better eating establishment than The Nags Head at Samlesbury, suffice to say we had a great night. Many thanks to the staff.

Food lovely - staff great and welcoming. Give it a try if you live in the area.

THE best Sunday roast! Brilliant service, homecooked delicious Sunday roast, plenty of food choices on the menus (check website) and beautiful pub. We will be back!

Visited on 13 December 2023, the place was cold, no heating on. Ordered from the lunch menu....my husband ordered gammon, egg and chips £12. When it arrived the piece of gammon was miniscule.... 2oz at the most . Won't be rushing back.

We stopped here for lunch after a walk. The food was excellent, all so fresh and tasty. We will definitely be back soon!

Good food good ale very friendly people behind the bar Just had a meal off specials board Chicken with black peppercorn sause excellent ! ! 12/09/17 Just reopened after major refurb not lost any of its charm and food exccelent as before same friendly atmosphere. Terrible news the current landlord (the best in Nabs in 36 years) has had to hand his notice in as soon as the pandemic has ruined what was just becoming a beautiful place to eat and drink we the village are devastated as this could be the death of another village pub. HELP HELP

A nice local pub that serves good food and beer.

Old traditional country pub - not many of those left now. Not a wide choice of food at lunchtime but our meals were good. I can certainly recommend the rsapberry crumble. Draught beer good too - a Thwaites pub. Landlady and her assistant were very welcoming and cheerful. It has been closed on and off in recent years so I hope it can survive now. Shame it was so quiet when we went.

A lovely place to visit, with excellent staff, nice ales too

Very good food and value for money

I visited a couple of weeks ago sat outside as it was a nice day. Lovely pint of Aspalls cider. I hope to try the food soon.

A proper local, and so clean, tidy, and organised. Everyone was so friendly.

Starter was amazing but Sunday roast needs some work beef was fatty veg was raw and roast were solid !!!

Our local is back open, which is great for the area. Food is brilliant and the service and welcome is exceptional! Looking forward to visiting again.

I came for a drink this afternoon. The service was fab, was a lovely little pub for a few afternoon drinks. The lady behind the bar (blonde hair) was so welcoming and chatty. I had a lovely time. Thankyou xx

Great country pub / restaurant, was in on Sunday for the roast and nearly didn't finish there was so much and it was delicious. And a nice pint served with a smile.

Great English Village Pub - Great Food all Home Cooked, Oh dear it appears to have closed last week!

Great food in a “ proper” pub. Lovely atmosphere. Hope to return. ( And fabulous toilets !).

Newly opened I had the Man's head burger, very tasty. The best thing is the triple cooked chips!! There's a lovely atmosphere and the Doggy Dora is so sweet and cute and lovely and she visited us frequently to check on us and she was making lots of friends. She's very well groomed and smelled nice.

Lovely Sunday dinner with good beer 👍

Sunday menu limited when visited. Will accomodate change. Staff lovely. Service alittle slow. Nice decor. Found it quite expensive 14.95 for a very small portion if comparing to Olde Nells (Guys Hamlet) decent portion for 11.95. Not seen week day menu or Saturday so unable to comment. Pudding wasnt great. Thought we would try for a change. Nice cosy pub prob wouldnt go again on a sunday but would try a diff day.

Great food and fantastic customer service. Well worth a visit to eat and chill.

Called on a Sunny Bank holiday for lunch. Food & service was excellent. Can highly recommend.

Thanks to both the lovely Lucy’s for the excellent service. The food was amazing. We will definitely be returning soon.

Very good food and service 10/10 Thank you

The food was excellent and service was spot on. We will definitely be returning.

Nice little pub. Great food, even better beer and friendly staff.

Great meals, service and place itself, its a shame its going to close on the 11th March; will certainly try and get there again. Good luck to all the staff in finding another job.

Excellent food & service......I strongly recommend you try this establishment

Delicious. It's only a small pub, but it was lovely and cosy inside and the staff were very friendly. I had the salt and pepper chicken which which wasn't particularly salt or peppery but the chicken was delicious and so were the fried and gravy. The garlic with cheese is definitely worth a try, I wanted more! Desserts were yummy. I only had an ice cream but my friends tried the rest and said they loved everything they had.

Homely pub grub! Staying in the area we passed this pub when the sat nav took us too far down the lane. I’m glad it did… 10 minute walk away from where we were staying - gave us an excuse to wrap up warm and break in my new wellies. Excellent table menu and specials board. We really enjoyed our main meal; ‘Twaithes beer battered haddock with a side of chips and garden peas’ (Large £14) ‘8oz Nabs head beef burger’ with a side of chips and onion rings (£10) Shame to see you are closed on Mondays & Tuesdays and only open at certain times throughout the day.

Outstanding food, very helpful staff

Nice place after a walk. Food was very nice and so was the pint. 😁👍

Delicious food and plenty of it. Friendly service in a comfortable and relaxed old fashioned country pub. Excellent value for money. Would highly recommend for casual dining without the fluff ☺

Been a few times now to this super little pub. Amazing food at reasonable prices and very generous portions... well worth a visit.

Good honest homemade grub. Unfortunately my beef was extremely tough though plentiful. Veg was all on the undercooked side kids both had pizzas which were fabulous. I will try again. It was late afternoon / quiet when we went so maybe we caught them off guard.

After having a good starter the Sunday roast came what a disappointment boil in the bag beef What an absolute nightmare never in the past as it been this bad

Just passing on hot day popped in for a shandy , seamed friendly enough.

Good meals great selection of drinks.

I Had a meal there on Wednesday lunch time, decided on steak in gravy and onions with a jacket potato. Always unsure when it comes to steak ( over cooked, under cooked ) But I had no need to worry it was perfect ! . Service was also excellent.

Fantastic place good food good beer good service

Covid 100% secure. Welcomes walkers and diners. Fab atmosphere really welcoming. Very very clean. Fast attentive service. Pride themselves on being 10/10. I can't fault them and I dine here weekly. PS their TAKEAWAY menu is fab and their PIZZA is a 10/10 in comparison with local places.

Fabulous! Homely pub grub at great prices 💕

Was very nice 3pound a pint of bitter.

Cute little pub. Lovely service and good food. Worth a visit. Always have good specials on offer too.

Lovely to sit in the sun outside. Pleasant bar staff, great pizza

Excellent Sunday lunch, accompanied by characteristically friendly and efficient service, in a warm and welcoming setting. Unbeatable! Very good value for money.

Only stopped for a pint in the beer garden, but excellent service and spotless inside. Will be back.

SERVICE AMAZING. FOOD THE SAME. First time we've been and will definitely be back

Lovely little pub , lovely staff , felt safe in these present times !!

Friendly service with a smile and always good food in a relaxed atmosphere.

Delicious fish and chips served with great mushy peas. Batter was superb. Brilliant covid safe dining set in beautiful countryside. Would highly recommend a visit.

Fabulous food and service would definitely recommend.

Great Thwaites pub, especially at the end of a good walk. All CV19 precautions are in place so you can enjoy a drink and meal. I only had a pint of bitter, but the food looked good and other customers were enjoying their meals.

Nice Starter but my Curry was a tad Dry

Good cosy country pub with log burner, dog friendly, proper home cooked food and pizzas (take away available). Booking recommended as popular for food, friendly owners/staff. Plenty of parking around both sides of pub don't panic if looks full by door.

Excellent, food very good and reasonabley priced, staff brilliant, sociable and friendly, will go again soon.

6 of us booked a table for a seventh birthday we all ordered different starters and main dishes the food was piping and excellent The fish was excellent in fact I think it had been on steroids it was that big Nothing was to much trouble for the staff We will definitely be going again

Had a meal here and it is a long time since everyone I've been with have all enjoyed the food. Well cooked, presented and good sized portions. The prices are very good too. If you're in the area and want to eat, I don't think you can find better. I've visited again and think the same as I wrote a year ago.

Good food, good choice of drinks. The staff made our visit great.

Lovely pub excellent service excellent food

Good service good food , lovely owners and very helpful

Very nice atmosphere and food 👍

Great food, great selection of beers and ales. What more do you want. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great little pub with fantastic food

Great food and a lovely ambience.

Excellent country pub with friendly staff.

Lovely little pub with very tasty food at a good price.

Visit here frequently, food is great quality, with excellent service

Very freindly clean atmospheric the food was lovely

Good food & excellent beers to chose from. Recommend the new Thwaites IPA a cracking beer.

Great food, friendly staff, good service pleasant environment.

Delicious food at VERY reasonable prices! Lovely beer too.

Good friendly staff. Very large meals probably to much. Food was quite good but after a starter main meal was to much.

Friendly service, excellent food, good value for money

Good quality, reasonably priced food. Cosy little pub with friendly staff

Lovely food and nice place to visit with friends very easy to have a conversation.

We come here fairly regularly and the food doesn't usually disappoint. Staff lovely.

Great community run pub. Well run and pleasant staff.

Lovely little pub in a quiet, semi-rural setting serving nice food, a good selection of drinks and with very friendly service. Not a big place but the bar staff were so polite and hospitable. (Thank you to Michael). Menu catered for all tastes and they also have specials boards. I would recommend this place to anybody.

Pizza was pretty good, the puddings were epic - my partner had a delicious pie mmm

Racist place!!! Damm well empty and wouldnt seat me for any food and funny looks because of the colour of my skin People of colour i warn you , you will not be made to feel comfortable and you will be glared at by staff you will not be offered to sit at the bar for drinks We arrived at 7pm you serve food 5-9 and was fullybooked? Yet your pub was EMPTY and couldnt find a table to accommodate us DISGRACE

I have never commented on one of these review sites before but after this comment was brought to my attention I felt compelled to. I have been into this pub several times and it is simply not like that, not a hint of discrimination of any kind, it really is just not that kind of place, everyone is always made to feel welcome (even dogs). The staff are lovely, the food is amazing and the management are genuinely the best I have ever experienced as a customer and I feel that certain comments left recently on this site are unfair and incorrect. On any weekend night which I have been there I ALWAYS have to book ahead as it is almost always full and so it is very usual for walk-in customers to be turned away, I have seen this happen many times in front of me. I would hate for a good business and a cracking village pub to be besmirched by what is clearly a simple misunderstanding or possibly a vindictive individual or competitor. Try the place for yourself, you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely fantastic. Just the perfect place to celebrate my son's 13th birthday. Very quiet and secluded. Excellent menu choices and perfect service. Meals were huge so starters and mains were too much. Can't fault it. Brilliant!

Dog friendly. Good food vegetables could do with a bit more cooking for my taste but edible.

Have just eaten a fantastic curry! As usual the food is excellent and the beers well kept. Staff are friendly and service good. Everything runs smoothly.

The cuisine in this place is guaranteed to satisfy you!What a great establishment to wine and dine!

Excellent service and food every time always a delight to go for a meal here.

Good meal, nice choice on menu, good ambiance, good choice wine's beers & spirits

Great service, brilliant food and a lovely location to get away from the daily hustle.

Always a good meal here and friendly staff. One of our sunday favourites.
