The starters were amazing especially glazed chicken wings and cod cheek tacos. I LOVE wings and these were very good! I don't normally order chicken as a main when eating out but we saw another couple order the chicken dish and thought it looked really good so my boyfriend and I both opted for it. The chicken was tender and the sauce was rich! I'd never had charred cabbage before and it was lovely and still had bite! Overall a great dining experience

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??

We visited here at about 5.30pm on a Saturday and the place was buzzing! Most people were dining,…read morehowever we'd just popped in for a quick pint. 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!

We were staying in a caravan park just down the road and needed a place to eat in the evening. We…read morecame across this delightful pub within a few minutes of searching. We spent the remainder of our holidays here, every evening. Nestling by a brook full of eels. The pubs dog, Jasper, loved to just stand in the cooling water on the hot evenings that we experienced this July. Sufficient room to sit outside with plenty of tables. Service is second to none. Professional, efficient and, more to the point, friendly. Great selection of real ales, my favourite was the Cromwell. Now to the reason for frequenting this hostelry, the food. A reasonable menu taking into account the position of this pub. A good varied choice of fresh seafood, burgers, curries and steaks. We tried most of them and they all were extremely tasty. All cooked to order. Great mussels in white wine. Behind the bar is a blackboard describing their Naga 'Viper' curry made with, 'officially', the hottest chilli pepper. Underneath is written 'Curries ordered 528, curries eaten 400' LOL. I love hot curries but, even I, would not attempt it. We hope to make a return visit next year. Many thanks to the 'guvner', his wife, the staff (especially the chef and kitchen staff) for making our short holiday break a total delight. See you again.

Having also visited a few years ago with a friend and not having the greatest of experiences I was slightly wary (there were 2 of us and they forgot 1 meal...). The outdoor area is lovely and looks over the canal. We found a good table in the sun and decided to go and get some menus...however there was a sign inside saying cash only, this would be fine if you weren't in the middle of nowhere with no cash machine in sight for miles. After trailing to Bamber Bridge and eventually getting some cash we decided to return. We ordered the BBQ chicken burger and the chicken breast. Both meals were very nice however the chicken breast on the burger was too big for the bread (which is fine but..) and the chicken breast in the main course was tiny! We also had deserts, one waffle with ice cream and one ice cream cone, the deserts were lovely but had clearly been forgotten about as the ice cream had melted a lot, the waitress did give the excuse that the kitchen was very hot, but the people along from us had also had ice cream and theirs was fine. All in all a good place to visit if it's sunny and you want a bit of food with a nice view.

We sat in the dining room area and it was very tired and worn, sit in the Pub area instead. Outside seating is very smoky.
