I had the braised lamb shank and it was delicious and cooked to perfection. We ate here on Easter Sunday and for a party of 11 we were seen to and served our food very quickly. I had a couple of cocktails which were also delicious. Others commented their roast beef was bland and dry. Personally I would go again.

Great food as always, decent portions sensible prices. Staff were excellent particularly Jackie who looked after us and our children. One of our favourite places for an ad hoc meal (usually lunch) out.

Brilliant food and fantastic staff just one thing. My partner is disable (thalidomide) and found the knife and fork a little to heavy and no grip the waitress got her another set a little lighter set but they had no grip too.

Had a meal for two on a Wednesday evening. Cosy place/atmosphere and friendly & fast service. The classic pub food was mostly excellent - my only niggle was that the chips were a little underdone. But I'd highly recommend this place.

Outstanding pub with unbelievable views and scenery. Car parks not great, smooth surface, but single lane, and small spaces, horrible for big cars. Usually very busy, so go very slow as it's filled with blind pedestrians and drivers. Pub itself is much bigger than it looks once inside. Extremely cosy, clean, and light. Full table service, great pub* menu, very fast service, excellent value for money. As a pub* it's outstanding. Just remember is not a Michelin starred fine dining experience, don't go expecting a life changing 10 course culinary experience.

Decided to try this place off a friend's recommendation. Food was OK. Pleased to see old fashioned mince meat pie on the menu and with traditional shortcrust pastry! The meat didn't disappoint but the pastry did. It obviously wasn't straight from the traditional oven but probably the microwave as the crust was not crumbly but tough, almost rubbery and hard to cut. I had Apple Strudel for dessert and this was also edible but not crispy and flaky like filo pastry should be. Top that off with good beer but at £3.80 a pint - in a Thwaites own pub! I shan't be rushing back.

Huge thank you to everyone at the pub for an amazing day for my baby shower. The venue is beautiful and I simply couldn’t of asked for a better environment. Both food and service was second to none. Highly recommend to anyone who is thinking of the perfect place to hold their celebration or event. Thank you so much again!

No booking and a full car park wasn’t a problem.You know them Sunday’s when only a roast dinner will do? Well this was one of them!As we pulled on to the car park we began to worry as we hadn’t booked and there wasn’t many spaces. We shouldn’t or worried as we got seated straight away.Both me and the other half had the roast beef, pink for me and well done for her. It looked fantastic when it arrived and tasted just as good. The only little thing we borh said was the roast potatoes could of used a bit of crisping up! But that was it. My elderly mother with a tiny appetite had a kid’s chicken nugget meal. She ate the lot and it not often that happens!For dessert the other half had the chocolate brownie of the specials. It wasn’t the biggest portion but she said it was very good! I had the Belgian chocolate pudding and it was very lite and very chocolatey yum yum.The service was fantastic very attentive but unobtrusive and dispute the pub being very busy at no point did we feel rushed.Thank you

A well presented pub, in an isolated situation on The West Pennine Moors with spectacular views right across the area. The systems in the pub were very Covid secure.However the welcome was brusque and almost like a teacher telling us to sanitise hands and how we were to behave. It could be done in a much more friendly manner with the same desired effect.The menu is good, and reasonably priced and the food was quick to arrive, which made it a good place for a quick business lunch break. However the food was disappointing - factory produced cheese pie, a dollop of mushy peas and dry chips. Edible but unappetising. The chicken curry was more palatable, but still accompanied by dry chips.Not sure the meal was value for money, and apart from the geographical convenience as a meeting place and the quick service, not sure I’d go again.
