  “What a lovely pub. Very cosy with fires lit around the place. Had lunch here. Started with smoked trout pate which was divine with gorgeous warm granary bread and some patron peppers. Then we had the cheese pie and steak and kidney pudding. My only tiny issue was they did not put the advertised carrot puree on with the cheese pie but this was quickly rectified when I pointed it out. The house white was Spanish (pictured) and very nice. Chatted to one of the waitresses who was lovely.”

  “Really successful visit this last Sunday, service was warm and friendly, a lovely little pub and had a great time. As we were a big party, we didnt get our food order taken until a while after we all arrived, but understandable along with food coming out at a good paste after that so not a problem. The food was good, wish the beef was slightly more seasoned, however it was cooked well and still a really good meal. Our visit was enjoyed by all and i would recommend a visit!”

  “I recently visited The Aspinall and I can see why this place is so popular! Such a cosy country pub, with a huge beer garden and gorgeous views overlooking the water, definitely one that works just as well for a cosy winter meal as it does sitting outside in the sunshine. We started with a few bits to share - the prawns were huge and juicy, the chipolatas chunky and full of flavour, and the halloumi was exactly how I like it... crispy on the outside and soft and melty in the middle. As we visited on a Sunday, there was only one thing I was ordering... a roast! I went for the lamb with all the trimmings and it was delicious. Obviously we still found room for dessert - a warm, gooey triple chocolate brownie with ice cream.”

  “It’s ok, food was ok, bragged on menu ‘beer onions’ with the steak burger we struggled to find them. The plate looked lost, as it was filled with fries, could have done with a corn on cob or a lovely side salad. We was looking forward to coming here as it was our first time and the atmosphere felt off, not down to earth at all. The waiters don’t respond, wasn’t asked if the food was ok and when you’re trying to get their attention and they seem to be on auto pilot only chatting if only absolutely necessary. Go Hapton inn!”

  “Love this place. Food is amazing The service is superb and team are friendly and welcoming But it's the atmosphere and the different vibes - from the cosy corners or rooms lined with bookcases to the grander spaces and the beautiful light and airy main areas... Not to mention the gorgeous outside space. Something for everyone and somewhere for every type of lazy lunch you're feeling.”

  “Visited before with different family members. My son's took me out for father's day so very nice. Beautiful scenery and pub. Think the stand out dish was the prawns in butter, nearly ordered a portion for myself. Very reasonably priced and the staff are on the ball”

  “I’ll start by saying this is our family favourite. We regularly travel from Bury to eat (and drink) here. The car park was over -full so they’re doing things right (in the main). However today - Father’s Day - was a disappointment. I had the salmon salad which at £22 I expected a piece of salmon, but instead got flakes or pieces amounting to around a 1/3 of a small piece. I rarely have room for pudding but today it was cheesecake so I could leave feeling satisfied. My husband ordered the pork roast and also felt short changed. We presumed Yorkshire pudding is only served with beef. Still hungry he ordered the delicious sponge pudding and custard. (I can count on one hand the times he has had a pudding). My son had sausage and mash which was the usual exemplary standard and portion. It worked out an expensive meal given we needed puddings. We will be back because we love the place but hope the measly portions of protein are improved.”

  “The atmosphere is a lovely warm one, tables set out very well and no dogs past a certain point for those who aren't partial to animals around them eating. The staff were lovely and accommodating, even with my FIL's awful jokes 🤣 The food was almost perfect! I had the chicken, ham and leek pie and it was melt in the mouth! The veg was perfect with it. My other half had the lamb roast, he said the lamb was the best he'd ever had but the roasties were a bit too roasted. One hopped off the plate when he tried to cut it. Overall, we had a lovely time and really enjoyed our visit. They game small touches that really make the difference too, a little basket with reading glasses in if you happen to need them, just lovely!”

  “Came across this pub on a day out to Clitheroe. Great service and the steak sandwich was cooked to perfection. The steak just melted in your mouth. My wife tried the rhubarb cider and it was lovely. It was very busy but the staff managed to find us a cosy table in the corner and they were so friendly and efficient. Didn't sit outside as it was very busy but it is next to a lovely river with plenty of seating areas and a picturesque outlook. Would definitely recommend this place and will be returning again.”

  “Phenomenal experience here. Great service from every waiter/waitress that came to our table. Food was excellent, beef roast, lamb roast, cheese pie and steak burger. Potted beef brisket with truffle butter starter was on another level. Beautiful pub in a beautiful location. Definitely recommend and will come again. Very nice selection of alcoholic drinks.”
