Black Sheep was the cask beer, well kept and served by friendly bar staff. A glance at the locally inspired menu convinced me that we'll back soon to try the food. Starters include Bury black pudding & Chorizo with poached egg, hollandaise sauce and rocket and chorizo salad; Goosnargh Chicken Liver and Port Pate; and Morecambe Bay shrimps. Mains include 28 day hung Rib Eye steak, Lancashire Hotpot and Home made Beef and Guinness pie. Quiz night on Thursdays and live music on Fridays. Years ago this pub was truly awful but a complete refurbishment and new ownership a couple of years ago (ish) has completely transformed it. Lucky Elswick!

Best find on holiday ever!!…read more Set in a beautiful little village with a huge village green with loads of parking round and about (although im sure that on a mid summer sunny day parking may be somewhat difficult!). The pub has a bar area and a restaurant area - we only ever went into the bar as you could eat int here and it was really cosy (dogs are also allowed!). The staff were incredibly friendly and chatty (lets face it, Yorkshire, particularly North Yorkshire folk are possibly the most friendly on the planet - i challenge you to disprove this!). The food was INCREDIBLE. Nothing fancy pants, just really good food, VERY big portions (trust me on this, you dont need three courses - choose your weapon of starter or dessert to go alongside your main - we made the mistake one night and 1) couldnt eat it all and 2)pretty much rolled home). We spent an evening in the pub, had a meal and then sat playing card games - we felt incredibly welcome. So welcome that we ended up visiting three times in a week long holiday. You cant really get a better recommendation than that can you??

It's actually Bury black pudding, sausage and cauliflower fritters with mustard. The Brits do it best - oh yeah! There must be a really good chef in this pub as I had a wild boar pie for a main course that was clearly cooked from scratch. It was served with not once, not twice but triple cooked chunky chips that were crunchy on the inside and deliciously smooth in the middle. My mother had a 'chippy tea' with fish, chips and some addictive mushy peas that were flavoursome and a gorgeous chunky consistently (not too mushy). The atmosphere is really friendly and you can tell it's a place that gets lots of regulars from the local area as we stood out a bit as being southerners. But the staff showed interest in where we'd come from and why we were there (a family wedding) and we ended up feeling like we had a new family. Is it friendlier up North? If I ever venture up North again, I'd re-visit here for the delightful tapas. Bury black pudding is divine.

The Woodman although not reviewed on yelp has many reviews on other sites. Nearly all the reviews are bad and that's why we didn't eat here till yesterday. However we heard there was a new team in charge and decided to include them in our fact finding for the area after moving to Clayton Le Woods end of 2014. On arrival at the bar we were greeted by a nice young fella who offered to let me try both the real ale's they had on. I decided on a pint of Wainwright's which was very nice indeed. We said we would like to order some lunch so we were asked to choose a table and somebody would come to take the order. I like that I don't like all this order at the bar with a table number. So we had baguettes and chips, me tuna melt and Sharon chicken and bacon. Both served with a bowl of homemade chunky chips. We both enjoyed the food very much. Nice presentation, good quality and homemade. One check in by staff as we ate which is the right thing. We couldn't fault it. Nice beer, good grub, nice table by the real fire and 19 quid for lunch including a pint and a Bacardi and coke. I hope that the new team at the woodman keep it up all power to them.
