The Yew Tree Inn in Chorley

Had the white bean soup and the pheasant bacon and chestnut cottage pie absolutely tremendous excellent food and service would go there again sorry no photos I would suggest booking in the peak season

Was really disappointed. Menu was uninspiring and the atmosphere was the same. Used to go a few years ago and really liked the place but probably won't return. £25 for a main is a bit steep for average food.

Food great Staff friendly and helpful Premises cosy and clean

Great restaurant and friendly staff.

Lovely quaint country pub set in the quiet countryside. Plenty of outdoor seating overlooking fields. Only one problem, hence 4 stars instead of 5 and thats the lack of vegetarian choice on the menu. Only 1 starter and 1 main course.

Lovely pub! Went for a Sunday roast and the food was delicious. Good price, portion sizes and comes with various trimmings. The service is great and the atmosphere is very welcoming and cosy.

Perfect setting and attentive staff. Lovely food 😋

We stopped off here after a walk. The pub is nicely decorated and is dog friendly. We had a drink and a main meal. The staff were friendly and our meal was nice.

Great spot for a snack and a pint. Staff were really friendly and the views are great! Will definitely be back soon!!

The chef here knows about flavour! What a wonderful meal we had last night. The perfect balance of portion size and taste. Shout out for the salmon and the beef Welsh rarebit - wow! However all 4 starters were a hit. The chicken and little pie - oh my, so good. We were full but could not resist pudding as they were so different and delicious. It’s a lovely place go and support you will not be disappointed. Special request please bring back your fab corned beef hash for the winter - an absolutely fabulous dish with homemade corned beef!

Has a couple of decent ales on but they're quite expensive compared to other pubs in the area. It feels like it's trying too hard to be a restaurant to have that nice country pub vibe. Food looked good but we didn't eat

We were impressed by their separate vegan menu. We ordered the sweetcorn risotto and chickpea stew. The flavours of both dishes were absolutely delicious, exceeding our expectations. Service was very friendly and efficient. The location is stunning and we were fortunate enough to enjoy out meal.outside. We look forward to visiting again for another lovely walk and meal.

Once again we had a fabulous lunch. Luckerly the weather was lovely so we sat outside, the views are beautiful. The staff are friendly and super efficient as always. The food is superb, well worth every penny.I can't fault anything, thankyou.

Disappointing. I had such good expectations. Beautiful location. The interior looks lovely. We were put on a higher level and staff seemed to almost forget about us. Had to chase staff to order and even pay the bill. I didn't enjoy the fish and chips.It came very salty. I don't normally add salt to anything (including fish and chips). I could even see the salt on top of the fish. I complained, but heard nothing further other than the chef had been told. I won't be visiting again. Don't order fish and chips, unless you are a salt lover.

Lovely place lovely food 5 stars

Lovely place to come and unwind

Beautiful pub but service was pretty bad, everyone was chatting inside without serving us. Food was decent but slightly overpriced. Amazing amazing views though

Food was delicious and was presented beautifully like gourmet food. We will definitely visit again.

Called in after a walk, was so happy we did, food is incredible and the pub is just lovely, dog friendly, staff amaxing, thanks so much will be back

I sat outside this lovely old pub on a sunny evening, with a pint of Blackedge - Cascade and enjoyed every sip! Plenty of room in the carpark and great views from the outdoor drinking area. I was really looked after and greeted by bar staff, who were very friendly! 30 mins drive for me but we'll worth it, will call again and recommend! 👍🍻

Excellent meals in a quaint atmosphere.

Popped in after a walk around Rivington. Lovely little pub. Staff could not be more friendly or helpful. Food was 5 star cooked from fresh. Will certainly visit again. The bar area is dog friendly too which was perfect for us.

Amazing views, gorgeous food and great service. 100% recommend

Lovely pub, located with great views, dined here last night and the food and service was of a consistently high standard. We will look forward to coming back note to self I’ll need a child’s fish and chips as I couldn’t do it justice last night, a very hearty portion but very good though!!

Very nice pub. Very welcoming. Just dropped in for a drink.

Great evening meal with 5 others, all our meals were delicious. Excellent choice of beer and wine. dog friendly. Friendly staff

Lovely countryside pub near Bolton. Food and service were excellent. Would recommend a visit if you are ever in the area.

Quaint little pub with great atmosphere located near the Anglezarke Reservoir. The pub has outside seating, lovely in a warm sunny day. Friendly service and great quality

Fish + chips very nice..but the rest of the menu was too fussy and complicated.

We stopped for a drink on our way back from the reservoir... It is a very nice place, the garden/patio area is lovely to have a drink

Fantastic food last night at The Yew Tree. Where else can you go with your dog, dressed in anything from shorts and a t-shirt to trousers shirt and jacket and get top cooking in a casual and friendly countryside setting..? I never get tired of the views, the setting is amazing and the old building is full of character. The staff are great, there’s always decent folk in, also often with well behaved dogs in the bar. The beer is good and local, there’s lots of gin and the choice of whiskies is good. The new menu is a winner, especially the braised lamb with roasted aubergine, hummus and harissa. It was 10/10 and amazing. Top tip, have three courses, it’s how the portion sizes are designed. You’ll be hungry if you just have a main and probably a little miffed at what you’ve just spent to not be full up. But have the lot and it’s perfect. I’m a fussy sod and have pretty high expectations but the place, people, food and drink were excellent thanks to Olivia, George & team.

Lovely place. Great food after lovely walk.

Perfect country pub. Delicious home cooked food. Happy, smiley, and attentive staff. Good value for money. Happy customers. Will recommend and will come again 👍👍

It's not often that I write a review, but today I had the pleasure of visiting the Yew Tree. I have to say, the food was absolutely first class. We turned up on a whim, having not eaten here for more than 20 years, and I cannot believe I’ve been missing out on this place. Upon arrival, the warm welcome and pleasantries from the staff made us feel at ease instantly. Getting straight to the food, I ordered the shin beef croquette, and my wife chose the cauliflower cheese soup. The shin beef was served with onion and gravy sauce. I do not know how the chef packed so much flavor into the onion—I could have had a plate of these alone. The shin beef croquette was equally to die for, and I wished I could have had a plate of those too. My wife’s soup came with homemade bread and flavored butter. She saved me half her bowl, which I absolutely loved. We were off to a good start with the first course. The menu offered a good variety, and I fancied the haddock and chips, which was served with mushy peas, tartar sauce, and a generous portion of chips. The fish was sprinkled with sea salt, and the presentation was amazing. The flavor and freshness of the haddock were first class. My wife ordered the roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, served with cauliflower cheese, baked potatoes, and a carrot purée, all of which were incredibly flavorful. My choice of a pint of Camden Pale Ale was a great complement to the fish and chips. Afterwards, we were recommended to try the homemade and baked raspberry and chocolate clafoutis, a soft and runny baked pudding served with a quenelle of ice cream. This was another taste sensation—definitely something to try. I’ve got to say, it certainly won’t be another 20 years before I go back. I highly recommend this place. It's a must-try, and credit goes to the chef and the staff.

The food here is superb and the menu is always being updated. Staff are helpful and attentive without rushing you or being instrusive. Cosy and warm by the fire when the weather is chilly and a great outdoor area with lovely views when we get the sunshine.

Just a little disapointed as we booked the restuarant for our anniversary, but were put in a side room with people who were just having having a drink, it didn't feel special for us especially with having booked a few days before, sadly I don't think we shall return.

Great location and tremendous food but service slow and staff inattentive. One waiter even on his phone watching the football. This needs to improve to maintain top spot for food in this area.

We all enjoyed our food but I found mine to be the best vegan meal I've had in years.

Lovely location with great views, warm welcome and very good food and service. Perfectly placed for a variety of walks around the reservoir.

Comfortable relaxing restaurant with plenty of space. Well cooked food with a twist and they worked very well.

Called in to the Yew Tree Inn after a long walk with the dogs for a late lunch, the service was brilliant, we were sat next to a lovely fire and our drinks order was taken, menus were left for us to look through, and it looked very good, local food. I would definitely recommend this pub I will certainly be coming back.

We stopped at this pub on our walk around the reservoir, lovely pub and we were seated by the fire. However drinks and food were extremely expensive. A friend was charged £10 for a pint of orange juice, main meals were £23 upwards. I ordered beef rib , the size of the beef was a good portion and well cooked but the 4 chips and 1 mushroom was stingy. We were with friends who came a year ago and the menu and prices had drastically changed since then. I left hungry.

This place is a little gem, called in for lunch. Food and service was excellent. Tempting menu choice of both traditional and unusual ingredients all at reasonable prices.I had the corned beef hash with crispy egg, followed by coconut mousse and rum poached pineapple, my hubby had the fish and chips all tasted delicious.Very relaxing atmosphere, friendly and non intrusive staff I'd highly recommend a visit.

Lovely pub, great bar, wonderful staff and amazing food. The quality and attention to detail is exceptional. Dog friendly in the bar area. Didn't once feel rushed.

Very old pub.excellent foods and very tasty. Chowder with crispy egg was delicious. Was surprised how small the portion was....no pink gin!!

Friendly staff and the food was delicious! In fact, staff wen above and beyond - I was coughing and within seconds I was brought a glass of water! Thank you, The Yew Tree!

A pretty average experience, considering the food, price and service. It's in a nice spot, great for walkers, but we went for an early evening meal. We were sat right outside rhe kitchen door, even though there were plenty of tables elsewhere. We had a drink each and just a main course, though one of us only had a starter and it was almost £150 for 4 of us and a toddler. The food was OK I'd say, nothing special. I had the steak and it was £30, which was well overpriced. Most of the mains were lacking vegetable sides, especially the venison Wellington, which was a very beige plate. We weren't asked how the food was, even at the end when we asked for the bill, the lady was pretty much silent when keying the card payment. I wouldn't rush back in a hurry.

We were greeted by friendly hosts and were given a lovely table by the fire, a large table for 5 which is not the norm as you normally get a much smaller table at other establishments. We all had three courses and everyone enjoyed every course. We were given plenty of time to chat and choose our options and the atmosphere was perfect. The food was amazing and we will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for making my husband's birthday so special, even though he didn't want a desert, which we were trying to get him to have, so we could put a candle on it. You came out with one any way. This icing on the cake!!

I have been to The Yew Tree multiple times and have enjoyed every second of it. Staff are so caring and knowledgable about the menu. Food is so high class with an affordable price. Lunch menu is fantastic, perfect to pop-in after a walk around Angelzark, Dinner menu is beautiful and innovative, a great team of talented chefs back there. I love this place, the atmosphere and the scenery, I am sure to return again.

Ate lunch here after a walk with family disappointing. Veg was cold. Roast beef was tough. Chicken breast dry.won't be rushing back

Excellent food, good vegetarian choice

Needs a spruce up and the beer selection isn’t the best. Food was decent enough but not worth the prices they charge.

Its nicer in photos. The prices were high.

Really lovely New Year's Eve meal!

Just had a lovely friends and Adam at the Yew Tree Inn at Anglezarke the service was outstanding, Thank you to George, Elliot and the team.

We paid an impromptu visit to this country pub and was pleasantly surprised. This charming place exudes warmth and coziness, amplified by its inviting log fire that crackles merrily in the background. The menu at this pub surpassed typical expectations with offerings like venison and guinea fowl. We indulged in a three-course meal and thoroughly enjoyed each dish!

We visited here for Christmas Day. I have to say after 3yrs coming here it didn’t fail. The food and service was out of this world. The amount of food given was amazing but the quality didn’t falter. Definitely a 5* for the Yew Tree. The staff were so accommodating. Highly recommended

We came here last night with our friends as part of our Xmas night out which we do every year.My wife and myself haven’t been here for the best part of 20 years and so it was nice to go somewhere different.We were booked in for 7.15pm and when we went into the dining room there were only another 2 tables occupied so the kitchen wasn’t exactly run off their feet.After ordering our food we had a chat with our friends and had some wine etc but after a while I realised that it had been quite a considerable amount of time since we ordered and the lady who I spoke to to see how long our starters were going to be then chased it up and eventually they arrived.We all enjoyed our food and it was very tasty and the menu was very good without too much choice.All in all we had a good time and we would go back but at the beginning of the evening I feel that they could speed up the service.

Ordered the beef burger with chips and the staff were happy to accommodate a swap of the onion rings for vegetables. Everyone enjoyed their food (fish & chips, partridge pie, ginger sponge) so you get the quality you pay for. Only negative was sitting on the upper mezzanine level was freezing, even with all 4 radiators on, which was a shame.

Good selection of drinks and good food, Ideal sport after a walk

Delicious lunch, really nice food. Will plan to go back for an evening meal based on the quality of the lunch.

This was by far the most delicious perfectly cooked meal I have eaten out in a long while. Sat by a cosy fire, Served by friendly professional staff giving excellent service, I could not fault this experience. Congratulations to the Chef and staff. I can't wait to come back for more! Thank you.😊

Not been here for decades.Met up with friends.Food delicious.Service excellent.Drinks great.Lovely atmosphere on a very busy Sunday lunch.Sat by the pass and witnessed plate after plate going out really efficiently.A very special mention for an amazing rabbit pie.Will be back a bit sooner than 30 years!

Food was great, presentation was on point and the beef rump cooked perfectly

Really liked this place. Nice friendly atmosphere, great views from the beer garden and the food was excellent. Will be back.

Great location in beautiful countryside. Fantastic beer !!! I didn't eat there today, but I have here eaten many times before and the food is always excellent . Highly recommended.

Great staff, lovely setting with superb views. Slightly disappointed with the roast. £22 with a very small portion size. Meat was ok, only came with 1 Yorkshire, 2 small boiled potatoes (not roast) and some cauliflower cheese. Will certainly be back for a drink at some point.

We have been many times to the Yew Tree and always enjoyed it, However this time I ordered the fish and chips and the batter was so soggy and not crispy at all, I ended up taking all the batter off and just eating the fish. I mentioned this to the waitress and said it was uneatable and she apologised but no mention of any discount to the bill. To be fair the waitress seemed very new and maybe didn’t even mention it to the chef. If this was the first time visiting I would not go back again, but I probably will die to previous experiences.

Amazing food and location. Service friendly, will return.

The food, the service, the staff the atmosphere absolutely A class. Fantastic evening!! Going back tomorrow for Sunday lunch again!!... Dog friendly too!

Impromptu family catch up & it did not disappoint.

Nice to sit outside in the seating area, in the sun. Lovely views of the countryside, you could think you're a million miles away but it's all here on the doorstep.

Very overpriced for the quality of meals for eg: roast beef accompanied with one small dried carrot, & kale, basic boiled new potatoes ( no other vegetables) receipt included gratuity which should be optional, but establishment know that most people won't exclude it. Unnamed miscellaneous food items also on receipt. We will stick to Toby's in future.

Very special place just wonderful highly recommend.

The food was delicious and innovative. They make an effort. Menu changes regularly. Cannot fault this place lovely. !!

Great food, service and value for money

Nice atmosphere for a meal. Steak was nicely cooked, served with fries and cauliflower cheese which was quite unusual as usually it is served with tomatoes/mushrooms. Duck was tender with flavours of ginger and rhubarb. Date and chocolate pudding and apple crumble were good but nothing special. Service was friendly. Very over priced for a pub with the bill coming to over £90. For this price there are better high class restaurants around. Expensive!

Dined here last night, couldn’t fault the food we had chicken with wild mushrooms and gnocchi, friendly and attentive service. Looking forward to returning.

Above average food , served with style and presented well. Unfortunately this was let down badly by very poor timings, with 25 mins before order taken a further 25 minutes before starter arrived and a massive 50 mins from starter cleared to main course arrival.

Excellent place to have a pint after walking up Rivington. Food was great, good selection of beers, plenty of parking and the overall experience was perfect. See you again soon

We enjoyed a superb dinner to celebrate Valentine's Day, we'll definitely be back and would highly recommend!

Fabulous food. The scotch broth was divine and the steak and wild mushroom pie was perfect. Highly recommend

WOW! Utterly amazing. Party of 8, 2 who are gluten free. The food was stunning and the service amazing. Can not fault this place at all. Treat yourself and go. Nine of our party had a bad word, clean plates all around. Would I go...

Great food, the Chicken Roast dinner was excellent, 5 of us had differentmeals and they wereall brilliant, really friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble.

Goda atmosphere and great food.

Nice meal but over priced especially when gratuity is automatically added to your bill I would say 8.00 per couple not on really when your paying over the odds for a Sunday roast

Decided to try the yew tree very nice food the chicken roast dinner was lovely and the fish n chips was excellent the service was good and the staff very friendly and attentive we would recommend for a nice Sunday treat

Pleasantly surprised. An exquisite meal, priced accordingly. Took the doodle with us which was very well managed.

Lovely country pub with friendly service. Delicious roast dinners, lamb and fish and chips. Little bit fancier than your average pub!

Visited here after a big walk and had a well deserved Sunday dinner. The beef was so tender and lovely and it was a really lovely settling sat outside. Would love to return

Second visit here and it’s still excellent. I’m not sure where the reviewer that complained about frozen chips actually went but it surely wasn’t this pub/restaurant! Really accommodating for the dog and baby with water bowl and high chair. Even more accommodating for our dietary...

My family used to go to the Yew Tree for all family celebrations when I was growing up in the 60’s and 70’s as it was always great food and a wonderful ambience. Fast forward to 2022 and it is still as good as ever....

Gorgeous setting, inside quaint & stylish, outside seating extremely uncomfortable ie. hard, rickety, slatted wood seats (no cushions available) & very basic, splintery tables. For the prices charged a placemat should be provided in my opinion. Menu a bit different & interesting tho to be...

This is a fantastic restaurant! The food is simply amazing. A whole separate menu for Vegan. Portions were good without being over facing. Waiting staff were friendly and courteous. There is a large selection of Gins and wines. As well as alcohol free beers. We...

This is one of the best restaurants I have eaten in, and I am lucky to have eaten in some very exclusive places. The combination of ingredients is inspired, and the food therefore delicious. There is a good range of dishes to suit every taste. The front of house staff are very welcoming and efficient. I honestly can't recommend this place highly enough and look forward to my next visit!

Beautiful , calm environment. Food excellent

A really nice pub/resteurant. We dropped in without a booking after a day out and were found a table without drama. The location and decor are fabulous, as was the food (fresh and all made on site) and service. An imaginative, well prices menu and...

Food and service excellent, however beware of higher prices here before you book. e.g. glass of house red wine £9.50!?! Food was at a higher pricepoint compared to similar establishments

On a ride out with my hubby, we came across the Yew tree and decided to call in, luckily we got a table straight away, and had Sunday lunch, one chicken, one beef, it came presented nicely, steaming hot and totally delicious. The staff were...
