I went into the Roebuck yesterday by myself, since I am a local. The last place I used to drink fairly frequently, was The Masons Arms but this has since closed and the management that ran that pub has gone- a real shame. The beer garden at this pub is really good, very spacious and I could imagine when there are sporting events, new years, and other public holidays, this part of the establishment would be packed out.The inside of the pub is clean, presentable, the toilets are clean to the point of immaculate. The service is efficient and you are not kept waiting, the beer is okay. I cannot comment as to whether this pub is friendly, welcoming, and that the locals are acceptant with new potential customers because I really did not feel any atmosphere, Some pubs are locals only and the clientele can become very clique like, so if your face does not fit, or you are perceived friendly you're probably viewed with suspicion. Basic interactions like responding to 'good evening', 'hello' and 'goodbye' just show that people have some respect for one another, being ignored reflects badly. This is not a place I would look to frequent and it is probably better to go in with a group of people, whomst the locals do accept and like. This is such a shame because this pub has real potential and I am looking for an establishment within reasonable distance from home, instead of travelling into Rawtenstall. I doubt that the fact I will not be returning to the Roebuck any time soon will be welcome relief for the locals, at a time when all hospitality businesses are trying to gain support from the local community can the management be truly comfortable and acceptant of this review? If not it might go some way into mirroring how I felt last night.

Cracking boozer, lovely pint, top notch atmosphere. I'll be there again soon, trust

Excellent service , great beer garden and also do food. Duke box has wide variety of music . Only thing is the pool tables not the best but besides that 4.8 out of 5 .staff are lovely

Called for a drink. Met by friendly staff and customers. Had a couple as the beer, staff and atmosphere was really good.

Amazing place, so many memories made.

Local friendly pub with entertainment on at weekends and a great pub quiz on a Wednesday evening, free to participate and you don't need to be Einstein to win ,,oh n it's a reasonable price for drinks.

Love this place! Very friendly staff, cant do enough for you. Always feel welcome and excellent choice of drinks/food!

Proper local, welcoming, great price

Not the most pleasant pub I've ever frequented. Kids running all over the place, unfriendly locals and the beer wasn't great. Nice open fire roaring away though!
