Eating Out - English!
 

'erindoors and myself have decided to take our parents out for a meal. Now we'd just pick any old restaurant for ourselves but our parents are strictly English meals only and would never dream of a curry or pasta or noodles.
So, apart from the crappy style carvery places such as Mother Redcap and the Gamecock, where in Hyndburn can we go for a decent 'English'??
Thanks in advance!

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

What about the Whittakers at the top of Burnley Rd
Or Hare and Hounds at Clayton

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

try the walton arms or the hyndburn bridge

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

Always enjoyed Coach & Horses. You could walk it Phil
Been told Duckworth Hall is good but not managed to get there myself yet

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

Coach and horses is good.. Duckworth Hall..wasn't too impressed with their slow service. but could be under new management...2 years since I was in. :)

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

The place in Great Harwood used to be good, is it called The Dog or something?

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

Dog and otter.

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

That's the one :)

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

That one is crying out for a joke. Not many otters seen around there lately, but according to the article in the Obby last week, about the painting...:hidewall: oops. runs and hides.

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

Duckworth Hall has changed hands since you last went Cazzer

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

The one that used to be the Lidgett is supposed to be very good, have never been but heard some great reports about it:)

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

I know it's not in accy, but try the Willows, and it's buy one get one free for the meals too.

We went the other aftenoon and it was great

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

I know this one is not in accy either, but try the Aspinall Arms just pass mitton fold, we went yesterday and it was packed out. I think they have a new chef and we had to wait to get a parking space, it was a very friendly place and catered for families too.

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

I know its not Hyndburn but `The Calfs Head ` in Worston is very nice indeed and a great location too.:D

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

the spread eagle

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

auberge in rishton classy nice food

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

Unfortunately, last time I visited the Walton Arms (July this year) the quality of food and the standard of service were both unacceptable. I would recommend that you try somewhere else.

The Alma at Laneshawbridge was really good (also in July), but not very handy for Accrington.:D

Over Coffee on Blackburn Road, Accrington - open every Friday and Saturday night from 7pm. Serving steaks on a Friday along side the Bistro menu. All meat from local butcher - all from farms within a 25 mile radius. Fish from Steve Bramwell of Accy market and fresh fruit & veg from Smiths of Accy market. All fresh, home cooked and seasonal. Good value too. Steak night - only £10.95 for 8oz steak, hand cut chips, onion rings, mushrooms and tomato plus free bottle of beer or glass of wine.

If you want a really good meal and have transport try the Corporation arms at longridge but you will have to phone first .

here is there website

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

Over Coffee is very good, we have been a few times for lunch but went last Saturday night for a change. The food was of excellent quality, with interesting choices on the menu (Ian had wood pigeon to start), and the desserts were delicious.

It was very reasonably priced and it's good to see that local produce is used. It's also nice to find somewhere good to eat that you don't have to travel too far to as well.

I would highly recommed Over Coffee to anyone.

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

Well we ended up at Harwood's last night and must say it was excellent. Food was very good indeed and the service was spot-on. Deffo be going back in the future and both 'erindoors and myself recommend the place to all.

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

Have been told before that it is worth a visit, will have to get on to my mates and give it a try. Glad you enjoyed it:)

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

I've never been but someone said the Griffin on Burnley road at Huncoat was doing decent food. I know there was something in the Observer awhile back stating they were doing "Proper" chips now.

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

It was`nt very good when we went recently and the choice was very poor....... and no veggie option.

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

very nice there.... will be going again soon :-)

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

how much is it at whittakers? is it nice?

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

Some things dont change do they, the Corporation Arms was good in the 60s, good to know its still going. By the way whats the Moorcock at Waddington like now used to work there in the 60s, it was a high class place then.

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

Nothin wrong with mother redcap and gamecock :D :D

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

Been in one of my favourite pubs for lunch today, The Black Horse at the top of Warner Street and they have a new menu plus are doing tea time specials Mon-Thurs 4pm till 7pm, eg pork chop, egg and chips, or steak pie chips and peas, or 7oz fish, chips and peas for £3 ! There are more choices too and you can have a pint with your meal for the total of £4.95 !
They are also doing a curry club on Mon/Wed/Fri from 4 till 7 very reasonably priced eg Lamb samosa and a Chicken Korma £5.
Think all this kicks in from 6th of this month, and well worth a visit!:mosher:

Kids welcome too!

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

the best place and a favourite of ours is Harwoods in guess where yes your right Great Harwood used to be the lidget all home cooked and the best service around and reasonable

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

isnt that the one on way out to rishton?
if so it shut down months ago

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

cant agree with comment about Redcap and Gamecock Jae Swift. They are both crappy places with crappy food but I suppose you gets what you pay for and for 3.50 u aint going to get decent food are you!!!! Where is good pub food in Hyndburn? difficult to answer as Ossy is bereft of decent nosh - Britannia is awful, Duckworth Hall is all fozen food or pre cooked sliced meats( have u tried the Sunday lunches???) and went to White Bull last week which is atrocious!! No wonder we were the only people in the pub at 6.30pm on a Saturday

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

Have you tryed the red-cap they do good food .

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

Mallard - no its not good food its cheap food done crappy style for cheap price. ts not good value its cheap rubbish. Why do we all think good value is cheap all of a sudden ? Thats all thats going to be left soon and then we will all be sorry sad gits!!I only up here visiting from Kent for a couple of weeks and I can confirm that pub food in Hyndburn is truly awful/terrible/pathetic/rubbish etc..............

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

the carvery at sycamore farm is much better for an extra 3 quid :)

Re: Eating Out - English!

Re: Eating Out - English!

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

thats were yer location says, look at yer posts.:confused:

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

Went to Over Coffee last night. What a fantastic change to have a decent restaurant in Accy. The food was lovely and plenty of it, nicely cooked and presented. There was plenty to choose from and a nice atmosphere in the restaurant. It was also very reasonably priced and a nice change for us to be able to share a bottle of wine without one of us having to drive. We'll definitely be going back..:D

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

I took my aunty to Duckworth Hall a fortnight ago and it was very good, Marie Ball

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

Calfs Head at worston is good too !!:)

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

Can vouch for Over Coffee, we have been a few times and always enjoyed good quality food, staff are very friendly, good atmosphere and very reasonably priced.

Re: Eating Out - English!
 

Guess it shows how few decent English places there are to eat out in these days!
