The best restaurants in Brindle and Hoghton Chorley North West

Fabulous fish & chips. Cooked beautifully and served in the little restaurant in front of the cooking range. We've been a few times now, and usually call in on our visits to Preston. Hoghton is about 3 miles South of said city. The food is always piping hot, the fish fried to perfection and the chips delicious with no evidence of fat or oil. Even the mushy peas beat all others. I've eaten F&C all over this land, even in such celebrated places as Whitby's "Magpie", and have never tasted any like Gregson Lane's. It's run by a brother and sister, who are the most pleasant chippy owners I've ever encountered. Oh, and their prices are VERY reasonable!

Amazing! A beautiful place with delicious food!

Visited for lunch on Sunday & we all (4) thoroughly enjoyed it!! We shall definitely be back!!

Lovely staff, fab food. Would definitely recommend

We are regular visitors at The Royal Oak. We went for a meal last night and the food was fantastic as always. Imaginative meals, not just the usual standard pub food. Generous food portions - I was stuffed after one course. Great kids meal options - freshly made not just out of a freezer! Lovely relaxed and cosy atmosphere. Friendly, helpful and attentive staff. 10/10 all round! The poor reviews baffle me? Give it a try!

This traditional pub is absolutely charming, with its low ceilings and cozy, separate table areas that create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The service was exceptional, though there was a slight delay when it came time to settle the bill. The food was nothing short of fantastic — 10/10, with great veggie options available as well. The only downside is that it’s on the pricier side, making it more of a special treat. Nevertheless, I’ll definitely be returning!

A really lovely pub, very oldie worldly, the food is lovely, it has an outside seating area at the front of the pub, clean toilets, my only questionable thing was why did I have to wait 20 minutes for my cup of coffee, but apart from that I'd highly recommend this place

We visited as a family group for a special birthday afternoon tea and it was fabulous! The staff were brilliant, special requests noted, always attentive, they got it just right. The food was absolutely delicious, there was plenty of it, all spot on. Good value, we couldn't finish it all so they provided the bags to take it home. Special shout out for the scones, so light and still warm from the oven! Would definitely come again and highly recommend for a relaxed atmosphere is a beautiful setting.

Wonderful food, I had the lamb duo which was excellent and my wife had the fillet steak which she also enjoyed. Service was of note as also really good. Would highly recommend a visit

We were at a family wedding here yesterday. The venue, the food but particularly the service & the staff attitude and attentiveness were absolutely perfect 😍 I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of a wedding venue. It couldn't have been better 😊
