The best restaurants serving British food in Chorley North West

The archetypal English country pub, serving great traditional food along with a fabulous choice of ales and other drinks by great staff in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Excellent 👌🏻

Great friendly staff, nothing too much trouble, service and food first class. Prices not bad, worth the visit. Good setting, worth a walk up to the locks,

Very disappointed tonight. The food was not really very warm and we had to reheat in the air fryer. Food was nice once we had reheated. Not what we have come to expect.

Tried the munchy Monday menu. Fantastic value. I tried the ribs and the fish and chips and my pal had the prawns and the beef dumpling dish. I wasn’t keen on the ribs but that was just personal taste as I thought they would be dry and they arrived in a sauce. Nice and tasty though. The prawns were delicious and huge, the fish was light and fluffy and the chips were perfect. My pals beef was delicious too. Highly recommended. Staff were friendly and efficient too. In this day and age it is difficult to find value like this. Very impressed. Keep up the good work.

Due to have lunch today,recieved phone call to explain,that had been flooded ,and no power.Great shame,good professional customer service,hope you are back to full service soon

Warm and welcoming pub. Cosy inside. Beside the Liverpool /Leeds canal. Staff were friendly and efficient. Food was top notch. We had fish pie, toad in the hole, duck pie and lamb shank shepherds pie. All very tasty! For pudding we had Bakewell tart, sticky toffee pudding, salted caramel sundae and crumpet bread and butter pudding!! Again all fantastic! Will be back!!

Just a minor niggle. Ordered an Afagato at 11:30 am, but they had run out of vanilla ice cream, which i thought unusual for a place with an ice cream parlour. Had it with chocolate ice cream and it is something I would have again. I think I'll call it a Mochagato, except that Judes ice cream already market that name.

Didn't have a drink just walked around

Good place for breakfast in Chorley attentive staff reasonable price and clean highly recommended.. been coming here years never had any issues

So on Saturday afternoon, my husband suggested having fish and chips for tea. After about 30 minutes I wonder where we’ve got to so I gave him a call he told me that he was still waiting for food even though he’s been there for 15 minutes. The ladies in the shop to talk to their friends and talk about what they’re going to do on Saturday evening ignoring customers and even putting salt and our chips when we didn’t even ask for it. The fish here was disgusting. It doesn’t taste of anything. The peas weren’t too bad but the rest we had to throw in the bin and when you’ve just paid £30 for food, it’s a lot of money.

Hartwood Hall is 'ok' if you are stuck for somewhere. We stayed on a Sunday evening and by 6pm all the Sunday roast menu was unavailable, along with a number of other side & main dishes. Tables in the pub area had plates and glasses left on them for well over an hour and it was not busy. No issues with the food we ordered, and it arrived quickly. The room was boiling hot even though the radiator was off, bed rock hard and uncomfy, shower woeful dribble but all fairly clean. TV remote very dirty/dusty between the buttons so needed a wet-wipe. Breakfast was ok, apart from drinks glasses being dirty and stuck face down to a small wooded tray; plus the cleaner was hoovering throughout the pub as the hotel guests ate breakfast. Should be done before or after breakfast. Pub staff are all friendly and helpful.

Been past here a lot of times,always busy which says everything. Carvery and great menu 3 sizes of plate, my other half had middle size Carvery and I had scampi and chips, both ok, pleasant staff and quick service will return.

Had a really nice time at Barton Grange - lots to look at, great variety of plants and I particularly enjoyed the outdoor areas. Everything is obviously very well-maintained by staff, no dying plants or empty shelves. The food was pretty good, tasted fresh and a good variety of options to pick from. If there was any downside I'd say that its quite a busy place, but that's to be expected.

Monday nights chef Giovanni cooking up seriously good food. Valentine's Day was exceptional. Mouth watering just thinking about it.

This used to be a great place to go generous quality portions, now sub standard at best, not been for a few months but today the chips where poor poor quality and rock hard and the gravy was tasteless and both went straight into the bin
