The Old Rock Cafe in Pendle

Great venue for breakfast, lunch or coffee & cake. Been several times and always made welcome. Nice people running this characterful place and shops next door should you have time.

We visited this delightful café this afternoon. We'd been to Wyecoller for old times sake, 45 miles from home and in need of food. Just happened to see a board on a post, CAFE ( arrow ) this way. Off we went and let upon Jackie & Francesca's. What a lovely place to find just out of the blue. Extensive menu reasonably priced. Very nice friendly staff. The food we had was very nice indeed, had to try a slice of cake too. Well definitely call again when we venture over the border and certainly recommend to our family n friends. Thankyou

What a fantastic cafe! We were in the area & searched online for a somewhere for lunch. The Old Rock Cafe was great. The menu had a good choice for lunch - sandwiches, hot sandwiches, baked potatoes, soup and we both opted for the quiche. It was a hearty portion and came with some salad & coleslaw. We just had to have a piece of cake as they looked so appealing. They didn't disappoint; my partner was particularly impressed that the carrot cake came with a cream cheese frosting. Highly recommended.

Francesca and Jackie always make customers so welcome and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. The coffee is really excellent and there is always a tempting range of cakes. Everything we have tried from the menu on our frequent visits has been great and it's clear how much care Francesca and Jackie put into this great cafe.

Fantastic home cooked food, we walked over from home to have a cooked breakfast, 2 breakfasts, 2 orange juices and 2 coffees, the breakfast was delicious and the coffee was perfect. The cafe is a real asset to the village, highly recommend. Oh we also bought some of the delicious cakes to take home with us.

Supposed to be open until 4pm - arrived at 3:15pm. The gift shop was open and in business, however on entering the coffee shop we were told they had stop serving at 3pm. This was disappointing, as people were still in the coffee shop and we just wanted a coffee. Not a great first impression when wanting to support a local business when new to the village. Tip - put on your website/leaflet etc that your last serving is at 3pm.

Perfect coffee stop mid ride. Lovely people, excellent bacon sandwiches and nice coffee. Perfect halfway round a Trawden loop and opens at 9am for the early starters. Just waffling now because you have to write 200 words which seems unnecessary

I’ve been here twice with different family members. I’ve been for lunch & cakes and another time for a weekend breakfast. Both times it was busy. The food is prepared to order and tastes great. The wait time even when full was not too long and staff were friendly. Food was hot, fresh and tasted good. The best bit was the homemade cake selection. We had cakes to takeaway as we were too full to eat at the time. It’s a different selection each time but everything we have tried has been beautiful. They have disabled access. I rang ahead on my first visit and they were happy to reserve us a table. There is limited parking outside but I’ve always found a spot so far. There’s a lovely shop attached to the cafe that’s worth a look.

Lovely cafe with a great selection of home cooked food. The service was superb and all the staff are lovely There’s also a super gift shop on site, again lovely staff

We love coming here the staff are lovely and the coffee and food is delicious… The homemade cakes are amazing …The shop next door is also great too with lots of lovely things to buy 😊

This is an amazing place! Home made food of the highest quality, proper tea in proper teapots served by proper staff who actually know what they are doing! It is the place to go

This is perhaps the finest Cafe I have ever eaten in. Had an excellent meal, well priced with impeccable friendly service.

We called in here as we were visiting a business in the area a short distance from this café. It’s winter opening hours, appear to be from 10 am in the morning, not 9 am as per website. The sign to the café from the road is a little misleading as it directed us to park up a steep private driveway, which was very difficult to reverse back out of. We had two flat white coffees and a piece of cake which were good quality.

Been several times for a lovely breakfast so thought we would try lunch which was equally as good with great coffee and cakes too.

Excellent breakfast Great cheesecake Very clean pleasant staff Great selection of cakes all made in house

Very disappointed I ordered a meal and drinks asked if I could have toast or a tea cake for my special needs granddaughter No because breakfast finished at 11-30 . So I walked out. I have been before and called into the shop i do like to support small businesses but maybe not anymore

Lovely cafe with very attentive staff. Have travelled from the Blackburn area to visit this cafe twice and found the food and service excellent. Had the homemade pie today with peas, gravy and red cabbage. My wife had the baked potato with tuna special which was well made and like a pate and a cut above the usual tuna mayonnaise which some cafes serve up. Coffee is a good standard and cakes top notch and pretty sure they are home made. The staff are excellent and I would put this place in my top 3 cafes that I’ve visited throughout the Lancashire area on my days out. Also a nice gift shop next door which adds to the experience. Worth the extra mileage to visit this gem of a cafe.

If you want home made cakes then this is the place to go. Can’t fault in any way. Special requests catered for with a smile.

Poor service. Staff got the order wrong (something very simple too). Poor quality food which was an absolute rip off and we had to wait ages! Toilet was absolutely disgusting!

We visited this cafe for breakfast as we were staying locally. It's a lovely, welcoming place, with lovely staff. The menu was varied, and the portions plentiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast, and even picked up some homemade jam they were selling - rhubarb and vanilla, which was also delicious. Overall, a lovely place I'd recommend and would visit again if I was in the area.

Great little cafe, first visit but will definitely return. Warm welcome, some of the best cakes we've seen, seating inside and outside. Visited after a walk at nearby Wycoller. Decided to bring a couple of cakes home, well why not 😀

We arrived at this cafe, on bicycles, drenched from a massive downpour. The staff welcomed us warmly to say the least. Towels to dry us off, hot food and endless tea, all with a smile and enthusiasm. This place seemed to be frequented by locals and those passing through but should be a Mecca to cyclists from near and far. I couldn’t recommend this place more. The Crest Ilford Cycling Club

A lovely setting to visit with amazing home made cakes, nice decor and very friendly and prompt service. We look forward to going regularly. Great little business

What a lovely and very welcoming cafe with friendly helpful staff. We stopped off for s cuppa and delicious gluten free cake on a strenuous bike ride

I enjoyed a delicious coffee and cake at this lovely café, served in a very friendly and efficient manner. Nothing appeared too much trouble.

Sadly, this cafe is not worth a visit. The food is beyond basic and bland and our cakes and scones were clearly days old. The staff and owners would highly benefit from some training as we were severely put off by the majority of them...

Having read really positive reviews recently on TripAdvisor we planned on eating here but once seated changed our minds! In these Covid-19 times, with rules as they are, this cafe obviously doesn’t keep up to date. Although the staff wore visors they didn’t seem to...

I didn't realise there was a new owner,Sam, as lockdown etc has limited days out. Very friendly and had a lovely bacon sandwich and a cup of tea. Defiantly go back. I encourage locals to frequent this local business, we need places like this, Hidden...

My breakfast was absolutely perfect and the service was warm, friendly and very efficient. I can't recommend this place highly enough. We will definitely be back the next time we visit this beautiful part of the country.

Had a lovely time. Coffee and cake was very nice, the were very attentive Even the customers were charming. The cafe is comfy and very relaxing xx will.be there again very soon xx

Fantastic find! Out for the day on the push bike, arrived about 11.30 on a Saturday. Car park at front of cafe and able to lock bikes under the kitchen window so watched over. Seating outside. Lovely welcome from the staff. Full English breakfast and veggie breakfast was great, all well cooked. You can get a meal, sandwiches, jacket potatoes with toppings and lots of breakfast options, ice creams, milkshakes, lovely cakes and bakes and children's menu. Very clean, reasonably priced, efficient and friendly service. A real gem of a cafe. We will definitely go back. Treat yourself you won't be disappointed. Able to book ahead and reserve a table. As we were leaving the cafe was filling up.

Ideal venue if in the area, good access to variety of walking areas if in the vicinity Friendly service, good menu of traditional food tasting good

It’s been a while since we visited this cafe. We enjoyed our lunch. The food was tasty and the staff were helpful and friendly. A significant improvement since our last visit is the location and accessibility of the toilet for those who have mobility problems. The cafe is dog friendly and usually I don’t mind that but today there was a dog which regularly emitted a single, loud, high pitched bark - very irritating. I assume the dog owners were regulars- why else would anyone put up with this? As a customer I found it off putting. We will return and hope for a more peaceful lunch on another day. All in all, I’m glad we went back!

Nice little cafe in a charming village. Friendly staff. Drop in for a tea or coffee, piece of cake then look around the village.

As above, the food was great and cooked to order. Staff were so friendly, I cant recommend enough. If you are in Trawden please do make the effort and visit!

The cafe is a very welcome and friendly place to stop after a lovely walk around Trawden . The sandwiches are good and the soup very good.

Staying with friend who has just moved to Winewall and we called in for breakfast...... The Cafe was as good as Matey had described..... Friendly, welcoming, good food and a lovely atmosphere. Fits really well with the Village, it’s Community Shop, and excellent Local (Also with great food and beer!)

We had the breakfast a healthy version a kids version & a normal version breakfast it was delicious!! This is the second time we have been and we will definitely be back !! All home cooked hearty tasty food...

So pleased to have chanced upon this great little cafe when we needed a coffee on the way to Wycoller and knew the facility there was going to be closed. Wish we hadn't had such a big hotel breakfast as the menu looked very interesting with lots of tempting dishes to choose from. Just had to buy something to take away and have later so chose a Chorley cake which was delicious. Excellent coffee, staff went out of their way to make sure I was happy with a different dairy alternative to my usual soya. Great service. Clean, cosy what more could you want?

Yummy home cooked food, great friendly customer service. Maybe put a couple more tables outside on a sunny day.

Came across this cafe by accident last week and have already been back. Lovely, freshly cooked food. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff here, they are helpful and very friendly. Lovely atmosphere. Now one of our favourite cafes and we travel from Bury.

Stopped here whilst on the hunt for Wycoller ! Had a lovely lunch , very straightforward but delicious and excellent value . I have to mention the tea though . The best because it was served in china cups, just as it should be. Well done

This is an excellent cafe with fab food and cracking service. There is always a friendly welcome and a lovely atmosphere.

Been to the old rock cafe ma y times and every time it's been perfect. The staff are friendly and go out of there way too help. Most importantly is the food. DELICIOUS. Love the little gift shop next door too. Will be back next week .

Had my first visit to the old rock this afternoon before setting off on the Boulsworth circular walk. We didn’t even know it was there until we noticed the signs when we were looking for the signs for Boulsworth. It’s a real gem of a place and the menu is exactly the kind of food you want to eat pre or post walk. Really good service too and the staff are very friendly and helpful. They also take card payments which was a bonus. The food was really good and we all had their different variations of the cooked breakfasts.

visit here for coffee and cake lovely staff and the cakes are yummy big choice of hot and cold drinks so a good stop off place for us

We called in here for a coffee and cake. The flat white was excellent, and generous, and there was a good selection of cakes available. Lovely staff also.

Called in today, wasn't the fastest service, but that's ok for me, We order food and tea, It was really nice and tasty well worth the wait and good value. Thanks for a nice time.

we called on sunday and had two lattees and a toasted teacake.there was a friendley welcome and its pleasant. the toasted cafe arrived a few minutes before the coffee.however the drinks were awful it was more like brown milk and probably the worst coffee we have had this year-there was no coffee in the drink .feeding this back so they can check before its served that there is some coffee in the latte.

Can't believe I've never been here before. Wonderful, tasty, home cooked food. Delicious milkshakes! Ample parking. Very enjoyable!

Friendly service, good food. Had a great plum crumble - they do like to try something new depending on what is freshly available. Very reasonable prices. Will be back.

We have visited the Old Rock Cafe on several occasions, spring and summer. We always receive a lovely warm welcome. With a varied number of riders arriving unannounced, the staff do a great job in providing hot food promptly, bearing in mind that all the food is prepared to order. The prices are reasonable, the food quality is excellent, the staff are pleasant and helpful.

We returned once again for a full English breakfast...... it was delicious and cooked using fresh local produce. The coffee is very good and the staff friendly and welcoming. A hidden gem we will certainly be back!

Called in passing for a coffee and a snack. Interesting little place with excellent coffee and simple but tasty food. Sat outside in the hot spring sunshine. Lovely, friendly people - couldn't do enough to oblige. Popular with cyclists. Car parking space a bit tight but ok.

Nice little café! Staff are friendly and helpful.

use this cafe a lot staff are lovely nice and friendly, the food is good and everything is homemade. varied menu and daily specials on offer.

Enjoyed our visit to Wycollar and called here on the way home. Lovely place with nice staff who were polite and attentive

My wife & I called into The Old Rock cafe this morning (Friday) & ordered a full breakfast for myself & a vegetarian, gluten-free version for my wife. The waitress/cafe owner bent over backwards to accommodate my wife's dietary needs (providing gluten-free bread, checking ingredients of food etc) & both breakfasts were well presented on the plates & extremely scrumptious! We also had an Americano coffee each (from a 'proper' coffee/espresso machine), which was absolutely spot on ~ strong & very tasty. A great eating experience in such pleasant surroundings. Many thanks from us both. And just to mention, we tootled into the adjoining gift shop afterwards, bought some lovely, unusual gifts & had a great chat with the shop owner to boot. All in all a wonderful, collective experience ~ & we certainly intend to dine at the cafe again.

I did not mention anything about the Burger as i did not notice anything special about it.who wants generous helpings of salad its chips we want.glad to know you are provideing chips.

Visited here one summers day the surroundings are very nice however i was suprised and shocked that when ordering the cheese burger with red onion i was a bit annoyed that for the price of £5:00 that it did not come with chips.When i asked where are the chips i met with a reply of ,we dont do chips.So there you have it £5:00 For a cheese burger with red onion i thought all burgers came with the option of onions and salad as the norm.I left this cafe still hungry and £5:00 lighter...won't be calling again in a hurry.

Had a lovel lunch with my sister today. Excellent home cooked food. We had the corned beef hash & BLT - both hot & tasty - very much appreciated on a wet & windy day. Service excellent & the staff extremely friendly & welcoming. Will definately return.

The Old Rock Cafe provided an outstanding buffet for a party of 20 people.

We found the Old Rock Cafe by accident earlier this year when on our way to Haworth. We were that impressed that we searched it out again for brunch on our way to Haworth again this weekend. The food was top quality, cooked to perfection, and served with a smile - not to mention kind to the wallet! Thoroughly recommended and well worth the 1 mile detour from the main route to Haworth.
