The Pendle Inn

The traditional pub food was beautiful, and the cask ale was perfectly kept. We found the apartment sparkling clean and spacious, and it even had a bath!!!!!!! From the warm welcome when we arrived, The Pendle gave us a fantastic stay with everything we could ask for and more.

The food has really gone downhill since I used to enjoy visiting here. My Chicken & Bacon Ciabatta was bland and had barely any bacon. The salad is mostly iceberg lettuce now, with little else, and the proper chips have been replaced by a small handful of McDonalds-style fries. Today's meal was a real letdown, and I'm in no hurry to come back.

Lunch was awful. The chips were so dry I couldn't eat them, and the pie was cold in the middle. I paid a good price expecting a good meal, but was disgusted. I asked to see the manager, Maggie, and thought it had to be a joke when she appeared in slacks and a hoodie. Manager? The attire was disgraceful. If it were my pub, I wouldn't have someone dressed like that on the front line. I didn't want my money back, so I just left. I won't be returning.

The cheese pie was well worth ordering, and the homemade chips were the best I’ve had in ages. We just dropped in for a meal and the lovely staff made it a really nice stop. Thanks so much!
