£44 for burnt fish and chips, 5 chicken balls and some doritos. 1 hour wait for shockingly bad, bland, burnt food. Shocking choice of lager on tap. Never ever ever come here
UPDATE: The fact you think £44 for a bag of crisps, a poxy fish and a few chips, and FIVE chicken balls is shocking regardless of if we had 2 bottles of beer or it was bottomless. You?re not in London, or Manchester. You are a pub in Darwen, whose ?peak times? are that busy that we could get a table so easily, when every other pub in the vicinity was booked. Furthermore, the fact that only 1 other party had ordered food ( a party of 8 ) and received theirs WELL before ours ( despite ordering a considerable time after us ) tells us everything we need to know. Also, it?s not gone unnoticed how your replies to every negative comment are very cheeky and you struggle to take criticism, no wonder many pubs in the local area outperform yours, and are their reviews reflect that. Thank you, but I will NEVER be returning!

Came here for a Sunday Lunch for the first time since moving near by and I have to say it was excellent. My partner and I are what one would refer to as ?Roast dinner snobs?. Therefore we are very hard to please when it comes to eating out for a Sunday Roast however the beef was cooked to perfection, there was an incredible amount of food on the plate with a mixture of well cooked veg, beautifully seasoned roast potatoes and creamy mash, a giant home made Yorkshire pudding all with tasty gravy. If we are to fault one thing it would be the cauliflower cheese was slightly watery and the cauliflower was a little hard.
Very friendly staff and great timely service.
We will definitely be making this a regular occurrence and recommending to family and friends.

The food is also excellent, we love the variety that the specials give, and the portions are also great! Highly recommended from a regular visitor ever since moving to the area over 8 years ago
