Trawden Arms in Pendle

Great pub in a lovely village. Wide selection of beers to choose from, I have been going to the Trawden Arms for years even when it was called the Rock, it’s always a really good atmosphere in there. Plenty of seating outside if the weather is nice as well.

I stayed here while doing the Bronte Way. The accommodation is beautifully finished and the amazing shower most welcome, as was the comfy bed. All the staff were warm, friendly and really helpful. I had a delicious and filling evening meal (pie and chips, just the job) and there were lots of choices at breakfast. A lovely atmosphere at this place.

We had a great stay here on our way up to Settle from Devon. The room was wonderful; beautifully decorated, clean, spacious and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable, towels lovely and soft and the WiFi was good too. We had an evening meal which was very good indeed and the breakfast was excellent. Everyone was so friendly. There is definitely a community vibe here and it was lovely. Many thanks to Alice and James and everyone who looked after us. We will be back.

A brilliant all rounder! Could not fault the place - delicious food and drink. Lovely atmosphere. But best of all were the truly wonderful, welcoming staff.

Stayed overnite room absolutely brilliant,breakfast good,would highly recommend will definitely be back for longer stay.

Was going to be down on business and noticed that this was a commuity owned pub after the local community raised the cash to keep the last pub in the village opened which is a really cool story. When we arrived on Saturday evening the place was packed which showed the community continued to rally round. This doesn't surprise me as the staff were friendly, service great & the food hit the spot. Good selection of beers too. The rooms are nicely done and the whole package was reasonably priced.

Simply perfect. Five star hospitality, fantastic traditional food and great room. If you get the chance to stay in this little gem please do, I will certainly be returning

Two nights stay at the Trawden Arms- had a great time. Lovely accommodation, great young staff and a very friendly atmosphere. Excellent full English breakfast. Locals community also very friendly. Would thoroughly recommend.

Catch up with friends, Not been in Trawden arms for a few years. Had drinks good selection of real ales , Food excellent very friendly helpful staff . They went the extra mile as sweets after meal we was after had sold out we ordered of burns weekend menu deep fried Mars bars had run out of Mars bars. Bless them they nipped to shop so we could have them . Top marks to all 👍Deep-fried Mars bars are the future 👌 😁Excellent afternoon was had my all thank you.

My husband and myself went to give the afternoon lunchoffer that runs on a Thursday and Friday a try and we were not disappointed, it was explained in the menu that the portions were were a bit smaller but we both found them to be more than enough. We couldn’t find fault with any of it, the food, prices and the service by their young staff. We will definitely be returning and recommend people to go.

Fabulous food and atmosphere. Delicious dinner of pigs cheeks on fancy cabbage and mash with cute little baby leeks. Just amazing!

Delicious food and fantastic service throughout the evening. We have visited lots of times and always enjoyed it but tonight's pie was amazing. The young lad serving was great and very attentive. It's just getting better and better every time we visit!

My partner and I came here on Tuesday evening. The Steak and ale pie was sensational. 10/10. This was made even better with the mid week 20% off Thank you

We spent two nights at the Trawden Arms whilst on a business trip, rooms were lovely, spotlessly clean and really comfortable, all of the staff were really welcoming and friendly, breakfast was incredible!! highly recomended.

Went here for a meal last night. The food was absolutely delicious, started with the salt and pepper squid & crispy devilled eggs and chicken cordon bleu for main- all off the specials and a side of halloumi fries. Highly recommend all - everything was delicious! the menu is vast for options and the specials menu had so many tasty sounding dishes I will be returning soon to sample the others! There was also a band on for entertainment which we stayed to watch after the meal who were fantastic! Great atmosphere, great to see the pub busy and popular without being crammed and uncomfortable. Fantastic evening and will 100% be returning!

Schönes Haus, wunderbare Lage, mit lockerer Atmosphäre, netten Bedienungen und prima Essen und Getränke. Wenn wir wieder einmal in der Gegend sind - ganz klar wiederholen.

We went for Sunday lunch to celebrate my mum's 75th Birthday. The staff were very attentive, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend the Nutella cookie doe pie, amazing. Can't wait to go back to sample more of the menu

We booked 2 of the rooms and were well looked after from the moment we arrived, even with the pub packed the staff were helpful, friendly and attentive. The rooms were lovely, very quirky and well kept and when we went over for dinner and breakfast thd food and drink choices were great. The food was delicious. Absolutely recommend visiting, brilliant place.

Can’t fault this lovely little pub. we stayed here when we came over for the emmerdale tour, the rooms were gorgeous and so private away from the main pub. very good value for money. I am gluten free and the gf options are tremendous also a lot of vegan/ veggie options. every meal was a great portion and food was faultless. the service from staff was so kind and welcoming :) atteneded to anytbing we needed. the pub was so lively and great atmosphere , can tell it’s a much loved place. will be back here when we visit again. plenty parking for guests too

Sunday lunch visit. Waiting staff friendly and very informative about Specials and GF options. I had Roast Beef. The Missus had GF Fish and Chips and the young 'un a pair of Sides of Haloumi and Loaded Fries. Ice cream and Sticky Toffee Pudding to finish. Three decent hand pulls even one from Skipton. Overall good experience and very good value. We will return. Cheers.

We have been regulars for several years and the food and service have always been excellent. Recent covid restrictions now in place have been very well observed and table spacing is very good. Sunday evening Lockdown deliveries in Spring were something to look forward to. Well recommended.

Stayed overnight and sorry we couldn’t stay a second night - absolutely gorgeous rooms, spotlessly clean, with a real boutique atmosphere. Enjoyed a drink in the beautiful setting by the stream. Worth double the price for a midweek stay! Good food and lovely staff - can’t recommend highly enough.

Myself and my partner stumbled across this place while walking the nearbye hills.We ordered 2 beef roast dinners which arrived in good time and was absolutely cooked to perfection.The staff were very accommodating and are handling the covid 19 restrictions very well.Would highly recommend a visit if ever in the area you wont be disappointed.

After visiting Wycoller village we decided to find somewhere for lunch. What a great find. The staff were all very pleasant and welcoming. Due to Covid19, there were sanitisers to be used on entry. The tables were very clean and well spaced out. The bar area was very well screened and a one way system was in place.It was difficult to decide what to have to eat off the menu as everything sounded very appetising and most was different to anywhere else we'd visited. As it was a Sunday, I decided on the traditional Sunday lunch and my partner, being a fussy veggie, decided on the veggie curry. Both meals were served very quickly and were very nice.We were very glad we found this pub and will definitely visit again if we are in the area.

exspensive for a pub. food was ok, but not a lot for your money!! No choice for vegetarians, only one item on the menu! Was disapponted

Really enjoyed our meals at the Trawden Arms, we went twice once midweek and once for Sunday Lunch. Both were great meals, very well presented by excellent staff. My midweek meal was the Cheese and Onion Pie, my wife had the Scampi both meals were excellent and certainly left no room for afters! On Sunday we had the Sunday Lunch, we both had the lamb another excellent choice. The Trawden Arms is an excellent place employing great staff serving great food on warm plates, cold plates are my pet hate. They also have some great beers. When you go you will not be disappointed. One tiny area that could be improved, serve the gravy in a gravy boat! We will certainly be returning.

Had dinner here and the food was really good, perhaps too many chunky chips for us. This isn’t a complaint, just an observation.

We ate here on sunday, the staff are so friendly and attentive, food delicious, clean plates all round . A few games for the kids to play etc . We really enjoyed it and will be back very soon.I had the roast beef dinner which was plentiful and tasty, nice selection of veg to go with. Childrens meals were lovely too. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the boulsworth burger and can highly recommend.

My scallop starter was excellent as was the beer and service. Nothing wrong with my huge main course of kidneys but I wasn't as impressed as with the starter - and had no room to try the sweet course! Three stars is perhaps a little harsh and maybe should be 4, but I'm afraid not the 5 some others have given the pub.

Food prices here aren’t the cheapest, but the choice and quality is good, as is the portion size. However, a couple of our dishes had perhaps been on the warming plate a little too long (sauce had developed a skin / curled water cress garnish).Service is friendly, from the pretty young waitresses, and there’s plenty of seating. A welcoming pub, with real fires and a small car park.

We had an overnight stay in the Old Joinery whilst visiting relatives and four of us had an evening meal and breakfast in the pub. Our room was fabulous and had been decorated beautifully, the style was rustic to enhance such a lovely old building. Exposed brick walls and a superb wet room all added to the experience. Our evening meal was very good and all four of enjoyed what we ordered. Two of us had burgers which were excellent and the other two had a chicken dish from the specials menu that again was excellent. We had a hearty full English breakfast in the morning but there were also a good number of alternative choices. The staff were all really friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We will be returning for another meal soon! The pub is also dog friendly.

6 of us on a walking weekend, stayed for dinner. Table booked and ready. Had two dogs and they were happy to sit under the table. The steak and stilton pie is first class and matched be the peri peri chicken.

Lovely food, reasonable price and the house wine was decent too. Went back the next day for breakfast and that was very tasty. Recommended to friends.

Our first time here and thoroughly enjoyed it. The atmosphere was welcoming, the food was lovely, excellent service by the staff. We will definitely be back. I had the steak and Stilton pie (see photo)

Stayed in one of the hotel rooms and enjoyed the fantastic food, this place is an absolute gem and 20% of both food and drink on a Monday,

A hidden gem of a pub, food is excellent, staff are very friendly as are the locals, everything is reasonably priced, I would highly recommend this pub if your ever in the area, we will definitely be back in the future

This is a little gem hidden in Trawden near Colne, Lancs. The room we stayed in has been tastefully decorated and is spacious and clean. It is also nice and quiet. A slight improvement would be to have a shelf in the shower for soap, etc.

We didn’t book. But we’re very well looked after. We were a family group of six adults and four kids. Everything was lovely. The service was perfect too and we were made to feel very welcome. We would definitely come again

First visit since it changed from The Rock.

What a fantastic little place. We stayed one night whilst in the area in a beautiful room, just across from the pub. Service from Emma and her team from check in and through dinner was fabulous. The cheese & onion pie was wonderful and highly recommended. Felt really chilled out and enjoyed the atmosphere. Great place, definately recommend. Thank you so much for a great time

Great food, great service, prices not too expensive and nicely decorated. What more can I say. Had a lovely walk in the countryside after the meal and a nice glass of vino to finish the evening.

Myself and my husband decided on an impromptu night away and chose to stay at the Old Joinery. We had a lovely meal in the Trawden Arms, a fab village pub. Both the pub and the accommodation are beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, the food was great and the staff were so welcoming and couldn't do enough for us! Would definitely visit again!

I have stayed here for a couple of weeks and enjoyed both stays. There are only four rooms and they are comfortable and high standard. Breakfast is included in the room price which is very reasonable. The breakfast is very tasty and high quality. I usually have one of each of the cooked options each day, smoked haddock and poached eggs on muffin, eggs florentine, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs in muffin and full English. They are all really tasty and good portions.

The Trawden Arms came to our rescue as our group of four cyclists thought we had booked into The Alma Inn up the road, but we hadn’t. They put us up for the night at short notice and we were very impressed with the quality of the accommodation and the breakfast. The service was great too, they let us store our bike inside to keep them safe. We were all very grateful and went on to complete the Pennine Bridleway in 4 days.

Had two meals here and both were of a very high standard, nice atmosphere, drinks were a tad expensive but overall a very nice pub.

Lovely village pub with great atmosphere, excellent food and drink and friendly staff. Good mix of craft beers, all the usual draught range, decent wine list. Great food with a thoughtful mix of standard dishes plus a wide range of different and specialty options.... All very nicely presented and freshly cooked. Various ‘rooms and areas’ all leading from the bar so dining can be informal or at a restaurant type table. Bookings are taken for all areas and would be recommended at weekends or other busy times.

I found the Trawden arms on chance when looking for an overnight stay, to break a journey down. It was a Saturday night, and initially, we had to park on a nearby street as the car park was full. However, a space did become available within the first 30 minutes.

We called in here whilst having a drive over the Easter weekend. Large well set out pub, very comfortable and very friendly staff. We ordered the garlic mushrooms and pate for starters and they were lovely, especially the garlic mushrooms with rustic bread. Haddock and chips and chicken in a basket with enough fries to feed several people all at very reasonable prices. I believe this pub has been renovated not long ago and they have done a good job and I hope word of mouth with do them well. Many thanks.

We were attending a ball for work and my fiancé found this. I have to say every hotel / guesthouse owner should go here and see how it’s done to perfection. Been renovated to a top standard in excellent taste. Spotlessly clean. Food amazing. Staff friendly. Bed and room soooo comfy. Good atmosphere with friendly locals too. Highly recommended.

We live a couple of miles away and have walked to this lovely place a few times in the past couple of weeks. Tonight it was fairly quiet but the food was on a different level to anything else locally. Everything on the specials and nibbles menu we had was exquisite. There were also a few vegan options, which are usually non existent in this neck of the woods. A friendly welcome, a warm fire, good wine and well priced but excellent food. We'll be back. :)

After enjoying a 3 hour walk with my family around wycoller we was looking forward to a nice cold cider and a light bite to eat. As we live pretty local (fence) so we knew of the trawden arms. When we entered the barman looked at us like we were something he had stepped in. My husband and son sat down and I approached the bar and I asked if I could order some food. I was told abruptly we aren’t serving food I replied oh ok not even sandwich’s. He then shouted over the pub to my husband ‘we aren’t serving food and you can’t sit there’ even though the board outside clearly said ‘food served’ and there wasn’t any reserved sign on the table. The manager then said to the barman ‘we are’ to which he replied ‘you told me to say we wasn’t’ my husband and son said let’s leave. as we was walking out she told me we could sit outside and as long as we paid for it she would bring the food outside and that the man was new behind the bar. We will not be returning rude staff and unpleasant atmosphere,

We visit the trawden arms fairly regularly as a local couple and booked a table for 4.30 last Sunday for our family group including our 1 year old grand daughter. We were made to feel welcome and enjoyed a nice and relaxed get together in warm cozy surroundings with nice selection of starters and mains. Enjoyed our visit and will call in again thank you!

This has to be one of the best places we have stayed in. The accommodation, the bar and restaurant were all to a very high standard and very affordable prices and to top it off the staff were the most welcoming people you will find.

Stayed at the Trawden arms on the 15 Dec 2018 for an overnight stay in one of their rooms. We would highly recommend this accommodation and restaurant. Fantastic service and hospitality. Thank you for a lovely stay. Paul and Bernie

Had a lovely lunch today with my sister after looking up recommendations in tripadvisor. We were not disappointed. A lovely setting and good wholesome food. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Would definitely return.

We were househunting in the area and dropped in for a late lunch. Friendly staff, pub nicely decorated and good food and drink. If we buy the property this will be our local! Cheers

I attended the Trawden Arms on the occasion of their Burns Night celebrations on 26th. January and was more than pleased with the food, hospitality and comfort of this 'Little Gem ' .Having booked accommodation in one of their newly built bedrooms I was impressed with the attention to detail and comfort whilst retaining a little of the historical past of the old joinery. The evening was a mix of warmth of welcome, traditional entertainment a well presented dinner, good local company and a nothing was too much trouble attitude from each member of the staff. Breakfast the following morning served beside the log burner completed the stay in fine style. My wife and I look forward to our next trip to Trawden and to our next stay in the Old Joinery.

Went for Sunday lunch and no complaints about that.But my husband had the mussels to start and was violently ill when we got home.I can only imagine it was these as we had both had the same apart from these

Excellent village place of good food and comfortable and relaxing surroundings, good open fires , terrific views and the food was excellent .

Absolutley loved the Trawden Arms tonight. Travelling from Liverpool for a new years trip. Lovely staff, and gorgeous food! Lovely warm atmosphere. Thank you so much! 😁

We stayed here new years eve.....what a gem! Fantastic pub with a team lead by Sharon who made us feel so welcome. Rooms are amazing and we really couldn't have wished for more. Breakfast again was lovely and we Sat by the log fire.

We've been here before on Christmas Day and always enjoyed it. Last year we missed out but this year we were back and we were so glad we made it. The food and service were great and the atmosphere, as always, was warm and welcoming. We were all impressed with the standard of food and all the hard-working staff made us feel special and valued customers. We may have to wait a year before Christmas comes around again but, fortunately, we can indulge ourselves with another meal at the Trawden Arms a whole lot quicker than that.

Our second year here. We are a local walking group and there were 28 of us for the meal. Booking and organising the choices was very straightforward. On the day the food was excellent and the service efficient and friendly. All meals were as ordered and arrived together for each course. Combine this with very reasonable prices and excellent beer, there was nothing to complain about. Will certainly be booking for 3rd year next Christmas. Thanks to Sharon and her team/

The food here won’t win any awards for presentation, (it’s a bit like you’d serve at home / our vegetables came in what looked like the lid of a casserole dish), nor the waiting staff for being available / knowing the menu details eg what the soup of the day is. However, having said that, all dishes were plentiful, tasty and good value. All were served with a smile and with good timing. The pub is nicely decorated and has a reasonably large car park. Well worth a visit and just a little polish off a 5*.

Menu regularly updated and changed, which is great because every option is always delicious. Warm and friendly environment with dog friendly areas. Believe they now also offer accommodating, which look very high standard, although we haven't stayed there as yet. Highly recommended.

We have just stayed in the new accommodation at the Trawden Arms and we have to say it’s one of the nicest rooms we have ever stayed in. The attention to detail was exemplary. The room was so cosy and warm and the bed was comfy. The underfloor heating was lovely when getting out of the plunge bath. Heaven !

We were the first guests to stay in the Trawden Arms’ new accommodation, created in the former joinery next door to the pub. Three nights in a very spacious, comfortable, beautifully-designed room with decorative detail in tune with its industrial past, very warm and welcoming during wet and cool December days. The stylish pub/restaurant itself is one of the nicest we’ve encountered. The tasty breakfasts were more than adequate, the lunch and dinner menus nicely varied. All credit to the owners and staff who were very welcoming, cheerful and helpful. When next we are in the Colne area visiting friends, we’ll be booking in to the Trawden Arms without any hesitation.

Went for an early birthday meal with the family was really happy.

Being quite local we have called in at the Trawden Arms for a drink whilst on one of our walks. We decided today that we would go and try out the food....it was our wedding anniversary and we were celebrating just the two of us!

The Trawden Arms is a short walk from my house, where I offer rooms via Airbnb and Trip Advisor. Most of my guests dine here - often for dinner, and they have all enjoyed their food and service. Like my cellar flat, the pub 8s dog friendly so ideal for hikers with dogs.

Just a short review. Finished a small walk around the area then popped in for a spot of lunch. Firstly, the beers on offer suited both mine and my wife’s tastes. We both ordered small meals which were generously sized. I had the BLT which was perfect. Fresh soft bread, sweet sliced tomatoes, generous helping of bacon served with a deliciously seasoned side salad and real homemade chips. We will definitely be coming back!

Visited here with friends on 17th august 2019 car park at the back of pub with smoking area and entrance on the side to gain access inside is loverly very contemporary and would not expect it from the look from the outside upon entry a lady approach us and took us to our table we had prebooked gave us menu and took our order for drinks this is where the disappointment comes in not much to pick from and its not that there is not a lot on the menu its the fact whats on it you wouldn't really want hence other reviews about not much choice got to say after a struggle choosing something and that was all of us so I know its wasnt just me it was ok the pate was straight out of the fridge solid and no taste due to it being so cold the tomatoe soup we think was tinned ut the creamy garlic mushrooms was nice the mains were all average oh the burger is about a £10 and thats what you get plain burger you have to pay extra if you want cheese on it extra again if you want bacon wouldnt be in a rush to go again unless the menu changes its such a let down with the inside of the pub being so nice

Food wasn't bad but not amazing either. Some of the food was a little overdone or tasted as though it had been kept warm for an amount of time (cheese & onion pie). Chips were however very nice.

i went to the trawden arms with my mother as she had been recommended this venue. we called at lunchtime on Saturday and requested food menu. the pub was very quiet as only one other table inside was occupied. we struggled a little with the menu as we were really looking for a sandwich or light snack as opposed to full meal and found our choice a bit limited and on the whole a little expensive for lunch. on asking the waitress if sandwiches were available we were advised only the food on the menu was offered so we chose the garlic mushrooms with warm ciabatta starter and when it arrived was well presented and a good size for what was usually a starter. although the sauce on the mushrooms was creamy and delicious I couldn't really taste much garlic therein and the ciabatta strips were excellent so I did enjoy the dish. overall but due to the limited choice available would be more likely to visit our usual local pub/restaurant in a nearby village which offers more of a varied mixture of excellent food and never lets us down

We were in Trawden for 3 days and ate our evening meals twice in the Trawden Arms. The food was excellent and well presented and the staff were friendly and attentive. We will certainly be eating there again.

Fabulous food and staff. We had 2 course for £14. Both were amazing. Chips were the best I have ever had. My partner had the Sunday roast which comes on two plates!

Only pub in Trawden (closed Tue/Wed) but worth a visit Monday see a 20% discount on food/drinks Thursday has a "Beat the clock" menu - pay the same as the time you order the food Quality of food is very good and the service brilliant

Lovely friendly staff at this traditional local pub. Great home cooked meals. The fat chips were a treat . Welcoming real fire. Grand pint of beer.

The pub has a very warm atmosphere,the food is excellent,lots of choices on the menu ,Thursday is beat the clock our meal was £5 each definitely going again

The pub was busy, warm and had a good atmosphere. We booked a table for 5 of us 3 of us had chicken curry which was tasty but they forgot the poppadom. We had to ask for them and when they served they were extremely greasy - having just been deep fried. We had to get extra serviettes to wipe the grease off. The waiting on staff seemed a little stretched but were friendly. My friend enjoyed her burger but ordered some onion rings as an extra but she left them as they were too doughy. Another or our party had the Thai Raman which looked amazing and she loved it! The Chenin wine was lovely. We got the bill and extra drinks had been added so we took those off the total. Overall there is room for improvement but has strong potential. Sorry about the pic I was hungry and started eating before I took a picture!

Visited the Trawden Arms tonight for a family meal. My wife and I bothe had the beef and chicken ramen with extra chillis (as requested) and it was excellent. Hats off the the chef.

Called in for Sunday afternoon lunch and the place was very busy, food and service both excellent! Menu was really good. Dog friendly too! Couldn’t really fault at all. Will definitely go back.

A last minute decision to go out for lunch brought us to the Trawden Arms. Having recently moved into the area we had been eying the place up for a few months!

Arranged walking group meal for 28 people. Great communication before the meal.Good welcome on arrival. Great beers, especially Worsthorne Snowstorm. Food excellent , served on time and all orders correct.Great friendly staff. All in all a great afternoon, couldnt have asked for more. All 28 people were very impressed. What more to say.

Excellent food, attentative staff, good selection of beer the head chef is a testament to his own success the best food and the best haggis ever eaten (including Scotland)

Beautiful pub with great food. Went for a meal with friends on a Sunday evening where we all enjoyed a wonderful Sunday roast. Staff very friendly and welcoming.

Some of the best food I’ve tasted in a long time. As a chef it’s not easy to not criticise food from somewhere you have never eaten before. But this place has one of the finest menus I have come across! I suggest to any one and everyone to book and eat your heart out in the warm comfortable environment!

From the moment we stepped over the door, warm, friendly staff. We were lucky to arrive on a Monday evening when there was a 20% off food and drinks.

Spent the day here on a weekend away to Trawden for my birthday. Gorgeous food, lovely staff, fantastic atmosphere. Loved it!!! Thank you for a fab day x

I have eaten at the trawden arms twice this year and both times was excellent.

Nuestra casera en el ser y se recomienda Sunnyfields este pub como lugar para comer cerca de donde estábamos. La comida era precioso y el personal era acogedor. Buena elección!

We live in the village and visit regulary. Monday is a good day as 20 % off ! Friendly atmosphere and accommodating for dogs and young children. Food is good and there's always a choice of specials.

I regularly visit the Trawden Arms and never let down by the friendly efficient service and the fantastic food. Decor is lovely and the place in bright, airy and clean.Menu is great - lots of choice! The garlic mushroom starter is a must! Lovely Sunday roasts and theme nights too. Often take friends and visitors there. Also welcomes walkers and dogs.The only thing missing is a beer garden rather than tables on the road side but I guess where it is located there isn't much of a choice? Would just be nice to sit outdoors in summer not next to the road side.Looking forward to the beer festival in a few weeks time!

Came here with my fella on the night of Saturday (01/04) it was brilliant! A good choice on the menu, lovely people who served us and a nice little room all made it extra special. I had garlic mushrooms to start - they were heavenly! And then the cod special! I was not disappointed, there were so many perfectly put together flavours on my plate (still dreaming about it now) everything perfectly cooked! Then i got chocolate orange torte for dessert and that was yum too! My fella equally enjoyed his, and I would love to return!

First visit this evening, but won't be the last. Lovely atmosphere, nice welcoming staff,and absolutely first class food.Couldnt fault this place

My friend & I visited on Mon 20/3/17 in view of good reports.Very annoyed to find the hostelery was closed even though the website distinctly said Mon opening hours 12-11.30.i suggest it would be advisable to amend the website.

Three of us called for lunch. The place was fairly quiet but not empty. There was a warm welcome from the landlady and a warm fire in the hearth. We sampled the monkfish tails with prawn starter and the soup- tasty and well presented. We followed these with the duck in hoisin sauce, the chicken wrapped in Parma ham and the plate pie with chips. They were accompanied by a generous selection of well cooked vegetables. We were very impressed and will be back!

We stumbled across the Trawden Arms at lunchtime yesterday. It was empty and we feared the worst, but it could not have been better. The manageress was smashing, just the kind of cheerful person every pub needs, there was an open fire and the food was amazingly good. There is not a lot of choice for vegetarians (maybe they could put a couple more dishes on) so I had a goats' cheese tartlet with caramelised onions from the starters list, and some chips. It was really tasty. My husband had a roast lamb sandwich and was delighted - toasted artisan bread with several juicy generous slices of lamb, and mint sauce. As another reviewer says, there is 20 per cent off on Mondays so the bill with a sparkling water and a half of lager was a mere £17. Great value even without the discount. We were assured that it is much busier at other times, and I can well believe it.

We dined here for Sunday lunch and were really impressed by the quality of the food. The pub could do with an exterior facelift but the interior is bright and airy. The staff are attentive and friendly.We both had roast lamb which were nice thick slices and the veg was both imaginative and plentiful

We went for a dinner last wednesday and as always food was fantastic. And the service was great. Definitely be back again.
