Reviews
Fairly typical decent pub grub at fairly typical pub price. Perfectly tasty and would be happy to eat there again. I had the steak and I'm not sure what they'd done with the mushroom but it was one of the nicest mushrooms I've ever eaten out! Service was very pleasant. Our well behaved dog was welcome in the 'dog area'.
This pub is outstanding the Landlady Lorraine is extremely hospitable the food is 1 of the best ivd had to the pub is very beautiful with a varied range of Cask Ales, lagers and spirits. I would most definitely recommend yous place for anyone to visit!!
Visited for a meal with my partner today and it was lovely. Food was great. We chose the nibbles menu as we prefer "picky food". We had 6 dishes and this was more than enough for the 2 of us. We nearly bought 9!! Glad we didn't as we would never have finished them. Have included a photo of our meal. Have already recommended to my family. Waiters and waitresses were absolutely outstanding, not too over attentive which I can't stand, great place, great people, great food!! Previous post: Decent pub. A bit out the way of everything else but a lovely establishment. Only been in a couple of times but its really nice inside, very modern. They also do food on select days, haven't tried the food myself but i would like to. Will visit again to try food with my partner. Would recommend.
We popped in here after a nice long walk around the estate, we didn't know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised at the excellent quality, friendly service and cosy decor and ambience. I had the black pudding and a mustard sauce starter which was delicious, for main I had the pan fried chicken which great and the sticky toffee pudding for desert, again amazing. Would really recommend.
Nice food n drink . Restaurant area is nice. Entrance feels like your in the slaughtered lamb with everyone looking at you when you walk in
Lovely place for a meal. Good food, very helpful staff. Try the black pudding and poached egg starter. Sit outside on a sunny day and it's a lovely place to be. Have a look at the views, from Rochdale around to Snowdonia.
I’m Gluten Intolerant. I ensured that at every point I requested Gluten Free food even when the waiter served my meal. The dip tasted and smelt of Vinegar. I’d already eaten some of the dip and then questioned again if this was Gluten Free. I was told it was. Unfortunately 10 minutes after eating the dip I started to feel the tell tail signs of a reaction from eating Gluten Based Food. I asked again as they took the food away and complained that the dip smelt of vinegar and could they please check. I was made to feel like I was just after a free meal. Then to add insult to injury they called me up a few days later not to ask how was I feeling or was I ok but to say they had no evidence of cross contamination and that they where a small family business. I’ve been suffering terrible stomach pains as well as all the usual - too graphic to post. I was asked was I sure it was from there! I’d not eaten since lunch and am confident nothing I’d had was contaminated. I’m so sensitive to Gluten now that I get a reaction as soon as I eat anything. This has completely ruined my short week off work and will continue to reap effects for the next two weeks. I’m not one to post negative reviews but after being phoned up and fobbed off and insinuated that I was lying made me feel so strongly that I needed to say something. At no point did I ask for any refund I only requested that procedures where looked into and that ingredients where checked and if a mistake had been made that they stop this from happening to anyone else. If this had been a Nut Allergy - it would have been more serious. I’m very thankful that o will be better in two weeks. My concern is that anyone with a serve allergy should seriously consider if this restaurant who can’t even accommodate a Gluten intolerance. Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free - added ingredients that are not Gluten Free but served as they where.
Very long time since I last visited the Bob Smithy. The staff were superb. The food was delicious. Good value for money. Wise to book this popular venue.Food: 5/5
Excellent Sunday dinner and our dog was welcome too
Lovely,well set out restaurant. Food was excellent,I had the cheese and onion pie and my wife had the steak pie,both were perfect. Staff were nice and it was a nice atmosphere. Will return! Parking: Easy to park. You can use the steps to go down or go around and use the pavement.
