We stayed in the dog friendly seperate section so if you aren't so keen on dogs, there is a beautiful seperated restaurant next door. The food is immense, very original menu with locally sourced food and a twist on some pub classics. I would recommend the samosa starter and chicken pate.

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??

Don't get to this pub enough! Recently met some friends for lunch and had a wonderful meal which…read morewas excellent value and plenty of it. A good menu selection of good, homely, traditional English pub food with the additional 'special' thrown in for good measure. Superb, great hosts and comfortable surroundings.

Fantastic. We were also staying the night in one of their comfy rooms upstairs which was very convenient. We informed the owner we had an early start in the morning and she not only allowed up to settle our check the night before but she also offered to come in early to leave us breakfast outside of serving hours. (Amazing) We'll definitely stay here the next time we need a place I'llin the area.

Friendliest pub in the area!…read more As an American with in-laws in Chorley, I visit the area often and spend my share of time in local pubs. The Spinner's on Cowling Brow is easily the friendliest I've been in. After a Sunday walk around Anglezarke with my son, we called in for a pint and a hot chocolate on the way home. The staff and clientele went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It's the first pub that my son has asked specifically to walk to again!

Set in a beautiful location, but if you go in summer expect lots of children. Food in the…read morerestaurant is subpar and you could tell it was all highly microwaved. 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. No A/C or even ceiling fans especially since we were in the new set of rooms. No one opened up the windows prior to our arrival and it was literally like an oven. As secluded as it is there is another hotel/restaurant nearby which we enjoyed better.
