  “Just a quick stop to break up the journey after discovering that the location of the battle of Bamber Bridge was just 5 minutes off the motorway. Nice tea and coffee provided by wonderful staff in the middle of the day.”

  “Our 2nd visit to The Hob,my sister and I went for Sunday lunch 4weeks ago(excellent!!) and today we decided to try a midweek lunch. Myself, my sister and our cousin all had items from the 12pound menu(mon-thur) and have to say it was excellent value. Delicious food,freshly cooked,good portions and a varied menu,all served in comfortable surroundings by cheerful and attentive staff. I would happily recommend anyone to try it and will most certainly be returning with my family and friends-more than worth the trip from cleveleys!”

  “First time having visited for lunch, I have to say it was very good indeed. A simply club sandwich and a coffee for about £12 and worth every penny. Food was superb. Service absolutely excellent.”

  “Wanted to have lunch while on our way to N Yorkshire and didn’t want to venture too far from the M6 on our way, so decided to call at Ye OLDE HOB Inn. So glad we did, as we had lovely, home made, pub food. The Steak and Ale Pie and triple cooked chips were to die for and the Crispy Chicken Burger was really thick and tasty. All in all the food was really filling and the restaurant was busy, which is always a good sign. We will certainly make this our go to place to eat next time we’re travelling past Jcn 29 of the M6. Staff were also a credit to the establishment. Very friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking in its own car park or on the road outside the pub. Well done.”

  “We came in yesterday for a Sunday roast and it was absolutely one of the best we’ve had in a long time (massive portions too) — followed by a fantastic sticky toffee pudding. The service was impeccable, credit to the lovely ladies. We are really looking forward to coming back to try more of the menu. 🥰”

  “I popped in for lunch on a work day. This is a lovely pub with its thatched roof and nice interior. There were quite a lot of customers, but they were quiet enough for me to sit and read my book while I waited for my food order. The menu is very good and includes grills, pizza and sandwiches, there is also a selection of dishes for £10. I chose fish and chips from this selection. The young lady who served me was polite, friendly and attentive. The food was lovely. Fresh flaky white fish with a light batter, a choice of fries or ‘hob’ chips- I chose the latter and these were nice and chunky, a nice crisp on the outside and nice and fluffy inside. It was a good sized portion, served with mushy or garden peas. The bar also has three quality hand pulled ales- Theakston XB. Timothy Taylor’s Landlord and Thwaites Wainwright. I only have positive things to write about the Hob Inn. Apart from the lady who served me, all other staff members were also very friendly.”

  “Went up north to visit family and spent plenty of time here. Staff incredibly friendly, but the food was amazing. Love pubs that can do proper pizzas. Also had the burger one day, nice and juicy with a delicious smokey flavour. Can home on the Sunday but not before having the Sunday roast - freshly cooked Yorkshire pudding, beef nice and pink and roast potatoes that had a lovely flavour of garlic and thyme”

  “My husband and I went for lunch here and really enjoyed the food and friendly staff. The building itself is beautiful — full of old beams and lovely Tudor-style character — but there are just a few small areas that could easily be improved to make the most of it. The car park could be tidier — perhaps hiding the bins and clearing away the old garden furniture would make a big difference. Inside the restaurant, it would look much nicer if the fireplace was opened up rather than blocked by a table. There were also ketchup bottles and boxes of crisps stacked at the side, which made it feel a bit cluttered. In the main pub, there was a small Christmas tree sitting on top of a plug-in fire — and it’s only October! It gave the impression it had been left there since last year. It’s such a beautiful old building that just needs a little bit of TLC to really shine. With a few tweaks, it could be a lovely family-friendly or couples’ spot, rather than another tired-looking Bamber Bridge pub. It has great potential to feel a bit classier and make the most of its Tudor charm — though perhaps that’s not the clientele they’re aiming for. On the positive side, the food was really good. I had the cheese and onion pie, and my husband had fish and chips — both were tasty and well-priced. As a vegetarian, I did find the options a little limited, and the pie came with meat gravy, which I wasn’t told about, so I accidentally poured it on my food. That said, they did have a jackfruit and halloumi burger on the menu, which sounded lovely — so with a few more easy veggie options like jackfruit “fish and chips,” veggie sausage and mash, or a vegan chicken and mushroom pie, it could be even better. Overall, it’s a charming old pub with good food and really friendly and helpful service — it just needs a bit of love and attention to bring out its full potential.”

  “Fantastic pub with top quality homemade food at reasonable prices. The building alone is enough to draw you in, with traditional charm and a stunning thatch roof, however teamed with great service and 10/10 food this really is one you need to try. We were visiting there area for 4 days and had possibly the best Steak & Ale pie we've tasted. Great flavours and the most tender meat. Do not miss the hand cut chips either. We loved it so much we came back 2 days later for a second round. Will be adding it to the list for future visits.”
