The Original Farmers Arms in Chorley

Had the Mexican chicken 3 beans. With half rice half chips so nice.

Just had food here .shocking tasteless staff not friendly or interested in customer service won't go back terrible

Great food and drink at reasonable prices. The best burger I have had in ages.

Food was excellent. The accommodation crap! Toilet seat broken, no bulb in bedside lamp, shower didn't work. Nothing was clean, cobwebs all over.

Fantastic meal large portions, well worth the money

Nipped in for lunch today, friendly service and great food, might just nip back

Good atmosphere, lovely staff. The food was lovely, with plenty of choice.

Absolutely love coming here.. it's like having you tea at home.. all fresh cooked food, and a cracking choice. You don't have to sit in the restaurant part, and can eat in the bar area...

Dark, empty a few people say outside and not surprised empty the food and drink costs are extortionate

First time after driving past for many years and it was lovely! Lots of space as pub is sectioned into restaurant area and bar/drinks area lots of specials on the board and updated menu as to what is previously online. Service was great and on top of everything, recommending meals and also giving advice about best options of what can be combined into the set meal options. Would say with the options that are on the menu for main courses, a few of the side options that you get to choose to add, don’t really go with a few of the meals so you feel like you are ordering something for the sake of it but very good options available

Called in for lunch today. Blonde lady serving was lovely, friendly, bubbly. Food was excellent, my girl friend and myself went for 2 smaller meals each and we were both very impressed. Would definitely go back

Lovely little pub with some great food options. Had the Fish and Chips and Chicken Gyros, Both really fresh and delicious 👌

Again great food, never been disappointed.

Very nice Good food friendly staff. Highly Recommend !

Good food. Friendly staff. Very nice place.

Egg shell on Black pudding and on Chicken, Pork chop had blood in, Sausage and Steak had a strange taste, all meat was full of black pepper corns on the underside. That’s okay if you love black pepper corn, not everyone’s choice .

We were looking for a local place for Sunday lunch that wasn't all roast dinners. After checking out a few other menus online, we were tempted in by the 2 course deal. Phoned Saturday evening to book. Partner had the haggis & black pudding to stadt, said it was the best starter he's ever had. I had the scampi, which I enjoyed because it's not often seen as a starter. Partner had the roast dinner with extra meat, I had the steak casserole in giant yorkishire pudding. Both meals delicious and neither of us could finish them. Really lovely little place, just a bit lacking in atmosphere but I think that was down to us dining fairly early in the day.

We went for lunch. The food was mediocre at best. I had the chicken gyros which was served on a flatbread so hard I was lucky not to chip a tooth. I object to paying good money for medical food but it is far worse to have mediocre food and whist your eating being forced to listen to the barmaid bellow about her family issues across the bar.

Great place good well cooked tasty traditional food with non traditional fayre too. Service was perfect and all the staff were friendly. Local pub feel and very welcoming.

Lovely food and staff with good portion sizes was an amazing meal would definitely recommend

Service was excellent. Food lovely. Would definitely return.

We had starter and main. Th mushroom starter looked defrosted, tasteless. The steak casserole on yorks. Pudd was little short of disgusting. The chips were greasy and overcooked. Will not be back.

Proper pub, with really tasty food served. Had home made potato onion and thyme soup, delicious 😋, followed by beer battered cod chips and mushy peas, amazing!!Portion size very generous, enormous piece of cod done in delicious beer battered, with triple cooked chips. Thumbs up, will definitely visit again when in the area 👍😉

We didn't know the Original Farmers Arms at all, but booked on the strength of online reviews while we were staying in the area. We were a bit doubtful on turning up. It looks a bit shabby and unloved from the outside. Inside, too, is basic and worn. But it's a genuine, friendly old-fashioned pub and we had a really excellent Sunday lunch. Couldn't fault it and would definitely come back.

We had a really great lunch at the original farmers arms.

I used to go to the Farmers Arms over 25 years ago when I lived in Chorrley. I was really impressed that the food was still as good and portion sizes still superb! We had 2 specials and a pizza. My partner had the homemade lamb & mint sauce pudding (real meat not mine) and I had the rump steak, perfectly cooked with bacon & haggis with whisky sauce. The chips were suberb and real not usual frozen chips! I woukd give this 10/5 as sadly it stops at 5 stars. Excellent value for money and we will definately be back! Thank you

Excellent quality food, attentive staff and nice atmosphere. If you are in Ecclestone and need to eat, this is the place to go. We will be back

Group of nine really enjoyed our food, will definitely be going again, 🙂

Had a few drinks on a works do and the service was quick and the drinks were good

Great food and service. Coped really well with our very large party at lunchtime. All our food was served together and was piping hot. Really good value too.

Huge choice of food on the menu! pleasant atmosphere and staff

If you want a good old authentic dining pub experience then go on a Friday evening and dine in style with the young farmers effing and jeffing and boasting of their sloppy seconds on a girl whilst chuffing merrily away on their electronic cigarettes. It created the perfect ambience The waitress was lovely though and the food was ok. Cheese pie was over done and was as hard as a pork pie . If you want a sweet and sour dish, then go for the Veg thai green curry. Couldn't get near the bar as every local man and his dog were propping it up. Nice real ale though. Sorry.

Traditional pub with restaurant attached. Very extensive menu along with a small bites menu and at least 15 specials on the wall. We both ate from the main menu and chose lasagne and a mixed grill. Waited a while but was worth it as the food arrived piping hot(on warm plates!)and freshly cooked and the portions were generous. Both really good. The lady who looked after us worked both the bar and restaurant and worked tirelessly to look after everyone and was cheerful and helpful. Would most definitely recommend! Xx

Excellent meal for our family of six. We all had different things. The food was good, the service was good and the surroundings were good. We will definitely go again.

I was cold on my visit, a little wait for the food. The food was ok, very well priced, affordable I had the patě, with bread, which was really nice.

Great food great service and not over busy would definitely go back great freindly staff

It was pretty quiet when we called but people were having meals and the vibe was friendly and relaxed. There is some outside seating and plenty of parking spaces. Worth calling in if you are passing. We didn't try the food.

A great pub with some good beers and great atmosphere, we had the best Sunday lunch ever it was massive and delicious this place is a gem well worth our 45 min walk from our hotel

Have not been to this pub/ restaurant for a while, and it used to be a great place to eat. We went just recently and had a very poor meal, supposed to be chicken tikka it was more like chicken and onions with gravy and a small spoonful of curry powder, has to be the worse’s chicken tikka I have ever had. There used to be a lovely display of sweets under the counter, but not anymore. We did wonder why the place was so quiet and empty, now we know why, it was a terrible meal and we will,not be returning anytime soon.

Went for a Sunday lunch with drinks (4 friends) the food as was the company we’re both excellent.

29 of us came here today for our team lunch after a morning of geocaching around Eccleston. We had pre-ordered and everything was great. Nothing was too much trouble and all the food was delicious. We will be back!

Just had an AMAZING steak baguette with pepper sauce to take away. Chunky chips to die for. Usually have pizza as they are the best around even with an Italian restaurant down the road. Can’t beat them !! Thanks all see you again soon.

Not tried the food yet but friendly staff and customers

On entering the pub smell of damp was very strong. Food came pork had a funny smell and taste both myself and husband spent the night being sick. There was a large damp patch on the ceiling and also visible black mold on the soft furnishings.

So lucky to have The Original Farmer's Arms as our local.....fantastic food with the ambiance and welcome of a traditional village pub! And if you're not in the mood for socialising.....the take-out is amazing too!

Very decent local. Recommended.

Great community pub. Great food and beer. Keep up the good work.

It was very pleasant, only had drinks.

Possibly the worst customer service ever. Sneered at whilst trying to order food, serious attitude from the person taking the order, this place seemingly doesn't want customers. Order was taken wrongly and when quizzed weren't even apologetic that they'd taken the the wrong payment. I will not be returning.

Stopped here on way back on a trek from euxton to Croston, beautiful day sat outside didn't eat but will be back menu looked good but will drive there next time.

Cannot comment on food as I was just calling in after a mission to an angling tackle shop. Great selection of beers, super atmosphere, and a warm Welcome Currently on a break in the heat of the day. After visiting Coppul Anglers for tackle supplies and some maggots for when the grandson comes visiting at Heskin Old Hall fishery Thursday. Could not pass the ‘Original Farmers Arms’ as I needed change for all the honesty boxes on this A49 tour (now calling it part 1 as there is so much to cover). Whilst refreshing myself I asked ‘why is it called the ‘Original’? Answer was ‘because it is the original one in the village’ It is good to be ‘ome 😅

Food was amazing staff was friendly and welcoming

My wife liked the decor, I preferred the food. Small menu but good quality at moderate prices.

Brilliant home cooked food brilliant real ales and lovely staff can’t recommend enough

Never let's you down, food great staff great. It's worth the journey from Liverpool every time. I've never been disappointed. Thanks folks

Delicious home made food, excellent selection of beer, wines etc all served by lovely, friendly staff. Very highly recommended 5*****

Its mothers day 2023 we went for a meal for 4 we had 3 starters and 4 mains we have been be for we was on table 1 1 pudding chip peas it was crap pudding was dryer then lether the chips were soggi and the pepper corn sace was viniger and had not seen a peper corn 2 sunday dinners was ok 1 rid eye was ok All starters were a 2 out of 10

Very friendly and dog friendly pub. Decent food excellent service

Popped in as was passing, never been before, had two meals off the specials board, and wasn't disappointed. Great chips, the cock n bull in pepper sauce was lovely, and the Mrs had the ultimate fish finger sandwich which she said was great.

Good roast dinner.even get a pizza for the kids.good value for money

Eaten here a couple of times and always enjoyed it, the pizza’s are top quality and stacked with toppings. The menu changes fairly regularly and everything we choose is always good,

A lovely pub, ideal after band practice.

Called on impulse on our way home. After looking at the extensive menu we settled on the valentine special 2 or 3 course. We couldn't believe the value, the food was freshly cooked, beautifully presented and hearty portions. Would highly recommend anyone passing to call in. We will definitely be going back again. Very friendly staff and a great visit. Picture is of the very indulgent trio of desserts my wife and I shared.

Isn't it just so strange how much a place can change. Growing up we literally always struggled to book a table at this place. Packed. Always packed. I never liked the place that much it was to cramped for me but the food was always amazing. Now. No atmosphere at all. Its dead. And the food quality really is not great. Been a couple of times recently and the meno choices are poor and what I did get was dry and bland. So sad to see such a staple in my life just go down hill so much

Why would you not visit the Farmers? Lisa, Emma, Julie, Millie, Ian, Kaye and staff go out of their way to make sure you have a fab time. They are friendly, chatty and ensure any request is met. The pizzas in the words of my 10 year old are superb! The food is traditional English grub with the lasagne being a firm fave. We’d highly recommend!

My family and I eat out every Christmas day. This was by far the best I've ever had. The service first class, the quality and portion was size was unbelievable. A fantastic atmosphere made you totally relaxed. Definitely looking to book for next year

First class food. Just try their Sunday roast! The service is first class, always with a smile and efficient. The atmosphere is what local pubs used to be like. Friends gathered with foaming tankers, their dogs laid at their feet. I love this place.

Called in for a little lunch. Fabulous specials board, good cask beer and great service.

Very nice proper English pub. Lovely food nice atmosphere with lovely pleasant staff.

We had a family meal here and couldn't fault anything to do with the food, drink or service. The set meal is amazingly good value. They weren't stingy on the portions either and we all left full.

Loved this place, used to go years ago , there food is outstanding and good service

Real top quality country pub reasonably priced too. Will definitely return

Unplanned visit huge menu freshly cooked. Not the friendliest place I have visited and would not visit again .

A lovely warm friendly pub great staff and customer's lovely food and drink reasonably priced

Very relaxed atmosphere. Food is amazing.

It was okay the real ale was good. We had three pizzas, compared to our usual eatery they lacked topping. I had a meat feast but the had no Tabasco sauce. I had their hot sauce but was not impressed.

Nice place very friendly staff and food very good

Good food ,freindly owner,resonably priced.

Traditional pub with plenty of seating, both inside and outside. Good quality food and service. Not expensive

Excellent food and helpful staff.

Went for Sunday lunch and it was probably one of the best meals we've had for a while, excellent proportions and tasted proper homecooked, just like going to Nanna's house, including the pudding! The staff were very welcoming and attentive. Excellent value for money. We will be back, highly recommended.

Need updating, food was terrible, should have told them.

Great place to for dinner made to feel very welcome cheap for food and drinks

Always a pleasure and very welcoming

A quick pit stop for lunch. Vast menu, I only wanted a quick bite, but you still have to have a look. We ordered two sandwiches and chips - that was my other half! Sandwiches were fresh, mine was a hot chicken and the other, thick sliced ham, this came cold. It came with a fresh crisp side salad and some crisp! (Said we didn't need the chips! ) Altho, I recommend sharing a bowl just to sample , lovely ,chunky quite irresistible ( yes we almost finished them ).

Great place to eat.Food excellent all cooked fresh so happy to wait. Staff very welcoming and friendly

Friendly, comfortable and first class food.

Lovely pub with great beer selection

Had a lovely meal, everything was freshly made. Would definitely return.😍

First time visit here, the place itself does look like it needs a lick of paint inside and out but don't let that put you off, the food is excellent and all cooked to order so you will wait a little while but worth the wait, I had home made pepper steak pie and would definitely recommend it, overall good food and good value, 3 meals and 3 drinks £49, will be back.

Excellent 2 course menu and friendly staff

Fantastic home cooked food, super service, great atmosphere. The best local around.

Lovely pub, great food, affordable, lovely staff, clean and comfortable, dog friendly.....a great place.

We keep coming back for a reason. Very tasty food, fantastic range of choices, very reasonably priced, it's always clean and comfortable surroundings and the service is always great.

Delicious home made food, and pudding, lovely staff, and great prices

Excellent service, very good food, would visit again

Good homecooked pub grub. Chicken kiev was delicious. Good friendly service too.

Good food X nice staff. Friendly atmosphere.

Lovely food. The main staff lady was rude and a bit off putting though.

Not local to the area and it was a first time visit , it won't be the last either fantastic food and plenty of it which I like🙂. Friendly staff and a great service highly recommended.
