    Very nice place. Main course delicious. Desert needs improvement, but still 5stars 😊

    An impromptu Sunday lunch out. Turned up about 1pm on a busy Sunday afternoon and they found a table for two. Service was quick and the food was amazing, especially the black forest cheesecake!! I'll definitely be going back.

    Booked in for a Friday evening. Car park at side of the pub but no spaces marked out and none reserved for disabled customers. When we left several cars were parked on the road outside and blocked view of any traffic approaching from the right. Large, well set out seated area outside with a number of sheltered areas with good views of the country side. Couple of steps at the entrance but no hand or grab rail to help with access. Ordered fish and chips and Mouldy Chicken. Bit disappointed that the specials menu we were given had only one starter and one mains option on it. Portions not the biggest but food was ok. Chips were tasty and it’s nice to get fresh rather than frozen. And despite not being the biggest portion the fish and chips were a lot cheaper than in other places I had recently visited. After mains both of us weren’t full but only four choices on dessert menu plus ice cream and nothing caught out fancy. There was nothing wrong with the meal or service but, then again, nothing to get excited about. Just an average meal and dining experience hence the three stars as nothing warranted the awarding of a higher rating.

    Popular tradition pub serving a good range of craft beers. Excellent pub classic food. We thoroughly enjoyed the steak sandwiches. Dog friendly and attracts ramblers enjoying the surrounding countryside. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

    Outstanding food. The best I have had in Lancashire. Warm and welcoming pub with lovely views. We had fish and chips and steak and ale pie. Really generous portions and great service. We will definitely be returning.

    I 100% recommend it for everyone. Best roast beef ever! Delicious, crunchy veggies, soft melting-in-your-mouth beef. Definitely will come back and bring my friends next time!

    Called in at lunchtime and it was busy which is a good sign. Ate inside, the menu was good, the prices were very reasonable and the food excellent. It's also in a great location.

    Been here a few times before and always recommend to others. I won't be making any recommendations in future... I ordered the steak and Guinness pie. When it arrived, it was impossible to get through the 'puff' pastry. I managed to peel the lid off the pie and eat the filling. This was fed back to the server who said 'its not normally like that'. I'd hope not, but mine was, it was still there on the plate for all to see! Upon payment, I raised the issue again after I was asked if everything was Ok. I explained, and it was suggested that it could not be the case (excuse the pun). They knocked £3 of the £13 inedible pie, whilst insinuating one might not be telling the truth. Starter was good, but the poor main and frosty customer service means 1 star at best.

    Called the day before to reserve a table on Sunday with no issues. Great views in fine weather and a nice remote location. Entertainment outside looked popular but we just went for dinner inside. It is very dark inside the restaurant. Food tasted good everyone enjoyed but the dessert menu was very basic so we went elsewhere for one.

    When I first moved back to England (from the US), I was taken on a first date to the Kettledrum (over 6 years ago). Then, last Sunday, my now husband took us back here for our Sunday evening meal and the food was absolutely amazing. The roast was sold out (hoping to try that this Sunday lunch) so we had steak and Guinness pie. The portion was absolutely massive. I didn’t want mushy peas and was given a delicious and abundant portion of veg (green beans, tender stem broccoli, swede and carrot, and mash) as an alternative. I’d come back over and over again for the chips alone; my husband and I felt they were like our parents’ chip pan chips but better. The wine was also great. Everything was reasonably priced especially given inflation and we have been to many meals that easily cost double the price of this meal and were only a fraction as good. I’d highly recommend this restaurant for food or even just a charming drink outside on a nice day, looking out to the countryside. The staff was warm, professional, and helpful too.

    Really nice pub up in the countryside with fantastic views. Warm reception on arrival shown to table. Good selection of drinks and quality food. Booking essential especially at the weekends. Will definitely go again. 🙂

    I recommend booking as they were busy, but we were lucky that a few people were leaving. Very nice food and presented well. Make sure to check the daily specials board. The mains were all over £11/£12 mark. We all enjoyed our meals. I had a vegan curry with half jasmine rice and half chips. We had also ordered a side of chips which didn't arrive and had to ask for in the end. I thought the desserts were over priced £6.95 and the portion didn't justify the price. They didn't have the vegan/dairy free ice cream. Absolutely lovely, friendly staff and willing help.
