The Travellers Rest in Chorley

Good food -good service in good surroundings! Will be back !

I have been to the Travellers Rest a few times since the new Landlord and staff arrived. Have to say it has improved tremendously from the previous Landlord. All the staff are friendly and welcoming, the food is exceptional, and they cater where they can for anyone with dietary needs. A lovely warm relaxing place to visit even if you just fancy a drink.

18 of us dined here on 30th December. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed our food. My fish and chips were amazing! I will definitely come again

12 of us went for Christmas Day, the staff was second to none all very helpful and lovely with us. The food was absolutely lovely, cannot fault this place we will definitely be returning.

Just had Christmas meal here. Absolutely brilliant food and service excellent atmosphere and very friendly service fully recommend

Came here today, Christmas day with my family. I am disabled, as soon as we approached the door, a young girl me us with a ramp. The staff was extremely helpful, service was great, and the food... omg it was absolutely amazing! Highly recommended, very comfortable and relaxed environment.

Me & my family came here for Christmas dinner today. The staff were warm, welcoming and so attentive. They couldn’t do enough to ensure they had accommodated for my mum, making sure everything was accessible by wheelchair. Every single meal was delicious and thoroughly enjoyed by all- everyone said how much this had been their favourite Christmas yet. It really made our Christmas Day special- will be returning again for Christmas dinner that’s for sure. Thank you so much to the lovely staff & owners- wishing you all a Merry Christmas! Xx

Had our Christmas meal here today , the food was excellent and plenty of it . The staff were very friendly and attentive.Couldn’t fault anything. Thankyou x

A gorgeous, friendly and welcoming pub, with staff that couldn't do enough for you and food that was absolutely delicious

We arrived early for our pre booked table and were greeted with a warm welcome and offered a seat my the fire until our table was ready. After a short wait we were taken through to our table, that was well set out and clean. We were left for 10 minutes or so to view the menu and asked if we required anymore drinks. I ordered the rump steak, chips and beer battered onion rings. The steak was cooked to perfection and dare I say it… one of the best I have ever had! The rest of the family (4 adults in total) also commented on the taste and quality of their food. Listening to recommendations from the lady taking our orders we then headed to the desert menu, sticky toffee pudding with custard for myself and my daughter in law 10/10 very tasty and piping hot. We will definitely return in the future. I’d strongly recommend booking in advance as it does get very busy.

Came here Saturday for a date night with my boyfriend, the staff were lovely, the food was amazing and it was very reasonably priced, we’ll definitely be back again! I had the chicken schnitzel and my boyfriend had the mixed grill, and we were both very happy with our meals. Thank you so much for our visit!

Good food, lovely staff, a little bit quiet on the day we went but would definitely go back

Great food, proper pub grub, excellent service. This is a must. The mixed grill was awesome.

We held my Dad's funeral wake here as it is only 7 minutes away from Charnock Richard Crematorium. They couldn't do enough for us. We had tables set ready for a delicious buffet with hot and cold food. Log fires were lit making the rooms warm and cosy and staff were friendly and attentive. Highly recommended. Thank you

My partner and I stopped for a drink and some food today, our little dog came too. The food, steak and ale pie for my partner and I had the burger with mushrooms and blue cheese... they were fantastic! Our dog had a roast chicken dog bowl which he loved even though he is really fussy. The best thing of all was the service, the guy who welcomed us was great, we found out later that he was new to the team but if the rest are as good as him, the pub is going to be packed soon so you might need to go on a quiet day! The lady who cleared the table stopped to chat and said that they had recently taken over, she was also great and I feel the Travelers Rest will do well. Only thing I can fault is not getting the chance to leave a tip so we will be going back again to sort that.

Amazing Sunday Roast. Delicious drinks, Super service, Awesome atmosphere and Fabulous food. Honestly, my only complaint. The kids didn’t leave me anything on their plates !!!! My 10 year old tells me we will be back, and I’m not going to argue.

Over the last 20 years we have from time to time visited.... we used to come very often.... not so much now...BUT.. it was recently taken over and the food was spot on! Not too expensive or cheap, freshly cooked, and real good quality. The service staff too were amazing... young people, but with great attitudes, not a vacant look in sight.... we will certainly come back again and more often if it stays like this. P.s... also a great selection of nonalcoholic drinks!!!

Wow , the new management have turned this place around, cosy atmosphere, beautiful food, terrific service will definitely be coming back, well done 👏 ✔️, Gaynor & mark

First time we've been here for a couple of years. A party of 4 of us ate this time. We got a warm welcome on arrival and the girls waiting on us where great. Reasonable priced food and a decent menu. Under new management. Enjoyed the food. Definitely go again. Recommended to friends. Well done to the staff. Thanks

Food and service was good. Atmosphere was low but not very busy when we visited.

First visit since the change of management. Went for Sunday lunch - excellent - prompt service by lovely staff. Will certainly go again.

Been a few times. Under new management it seemed like they were still finding their feet. Customer service was very good. Dog friendly too which is what we like.

The food was really lovely, we came for a roast beef dinner which was cooked amazingly, the staff advised they had ran out of beef not long after we ordered around 5.30pm. The sticky toffee pudding was amazing too! The only thing that let this place down was the service, there were long wait times to be served and then the wait to get given the bill.

We had an amazing meal at the Travellers Rest yesterday. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. Our waitress, Cara, was very attentive and made excellent recommendations. They have a great range of draft beers, wines and soft drinks, and the menu is fabulous. The atmosphere was lovey, a proper cozy country pub! Elysia and Dave have done a fantastic job with the pub so far, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for them! Big shout out the chef Jamie too! We will be seeing you again soon!

Very nice food with an excellent quality... try the pudding menu ...

We have been many times over the years and had good and awful experiences however it is under new management and today’s experience was wonderful. The restaurant has a lovely ambience. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The menu is varied with usual pub classics and some different unexpected items. We had steak and ale pie and vegetarian filo wellington both were delicious. The sticky toffee pudding is to die for. We are looking forward to trying the Sunday lunch based on today’s excellent lunch.

Food excellent and service was top notch always a pleasure

Came to the Travellers Rest tonight after not visiting for a long while. The new owners Dave and Elysia are so lovely and welcoming. We had a table by the fire which was really nice. Service was amazing and the food was delicious. Everything was perfect from start to finish. We will definitely be visiting more often. What a little hidden gem we have found but I don't think it will be a secret for long!

Had an amazing Sunday Roast today. I had the beef which was lovely and cooked perfectly. My daughter had the trio of roast beef, pork and chicken. All the trimmings were lovely and the cauliflower cheese was gorgeous 😋 The clean plate says it all!! The pub was warm and cosy too with a lovely atmosphere. Great way to spend a Sunday lunchtime! Definitely coming back for another one soon 😊 Oh and the warm cookie dough dessert was yummy!!

New management trying hard, didn't dine but the menus were enticing, I'll try a meal next time. Beer selection OK. Give it a whizz.

We decided to try out the Sunday Lunch since the pub has been taken over by new management. The service was brilliant, all the ladies working couldn’t do enough! The atmosphere is lovely! The food was incredible, the roast dinners were full of flavour, absolutely recommend the Trio of meats, all cooked perfectly! The side of cauliflower cheese was to die for! The hot drink and mini dessert were perfect to finish off and all round lovely Sunday afternoon. We e loved it so much so we’ve booked for next Sunday!

Visited with 2 friends for lunch. Outstanding service by lovely staff and the food was delicious! We will definitely be back soon!

Visited 4th Oct. Just taken over by new management in the last couple of weeks. Absolutely outstanding experience. The service was genuinely the best I've known in a long time, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was lovely. Recommend the warm cookie dough dessert!!! It was heavenly. We will be back again soon!

Nice pub, lovely food, good service

My family review of The Travellers Rest, Euxton Take a seat If you’re searching for a slice of traditional English charm, look no further than The Travellers Rest in Euxton. This superb establishment blends the character and warmth of a classic old English pub with the luxury of modern, outstanding food. It’s the kind of place where every detail seems carefully considered, yet it exudes the ease and charm of a timeless, authentic experience. Stepping inside The Travellers Rest feels like a nostalgic journey. For me, it evoked fond memories of the pub my grandfather used to take us to when I was just a young boy. The atmosphere here is warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for couples, families, or anyone seeking a comforting retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life. What truly sets this pub apart is its food. (Hats off to the YOUNG MAN... chef) The quality is simply outstanding, elevating traditional pub fare to new heights while retaining the soul and comfort we expect from a place like this. Each dish feels like a carefully crafted homage to English cuisine, while the service adds another layer of delight to the experience. The staff’s attentiveness and warmth make you feel instantly at home. The drink selection is equally impressive. Whether you're a fan of exclusive wines, fine whiskeys, or the best of traditional cask ales, you'll be spoilt for choice. There's something wonderfully luxurious about sitting back with a drink in hand, soaking in the friendly atmosphere while hours drift by. Special praise goes to the new management and team, who have revitalized this venue with such care and attention to detail. Their efforts have transformed The Travellers Rest into an unmissable destination. The blend of modern touches and classic pub charm is masterfully executed, and I’m now a frequent visitor, eagerly anticipating my next trip. If you long for a place that transports you back to the golden days of the traditional English pub experience while delivering top-notch food and service, then The Travellers Rest is a must-visit. It's a beautiful example of how tradition can be preserved and cherished while moving forward with fresh energy. Thank you for keeping the spirit of the classic English pub alive. I really look forward to returning again very soon. Col M.

Had the steak and ale pie chips peas. Absolutely delicious. Under new management come on give it a try you won't be disappointed

Cannot thank you all enough! Not only did you make us welcome but also our dog Milo! The food was absolutely delicious and the whole night was relaxed. Amazing food, fabulous service, friendly atmosphere and even the toilets sparkled 🤣 could not recommend more, we will see you again on our weekend brakes and birthday celebrations.

What can I say, I would have taken pictures of the food only I was to busy eating and enjoying each and every mouthful. We had the roast dinner, which can be a risk, as let’s face it no one cooks a roast exactly how you would have it at home, but this was smashing, the roast potatoes were crispy, the veg was cooked to perfection (no soggy veg insight), the Yorkshire pudding was a good size and the meat was tender and juicy. The staff were friendly and polite, and the atmosphere was lovely plenty of chatter going on but not so loud you couldn’t hear yourself or the music in the back ground. Will be coming back again. The new owners really know what they’re doing.

Took a trip to the Travellers this evening, to check out the pub under new management, a group of 8 of us. We were greeted at the door by Elycia who couldn’t do enough! Both other ladies working were very attentive! The food came out in great time and absolutely did not disappoint! There was something for everyone on the menu from the smaller bar bites to lovely home cooked meals, credit to the chefs, each one of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals! A fabulous evening and we will most certainly be back.

Popped in Friday lunchtime, we were the only people in there! Don’t know why because it’s a lovely place, just been taken over apparently. Guy who served us was great and the food was excellent, I had the fish & chips and my wife had the burger with fries. Both were delicious and I would definitely return😋 Few more people came in as we were leaving, I would expect it to have a great atmosphere when it’s busier. Hope it does well👏🏻

Only two other customers. Drinks expensive. Very limited menu.

My husband and I had sunday lunch here today.Both had roast beef and all the trimmings and it was beautiful.Would highly recommend.Great service and food in a quaint cosy pub.

Ordered Sunday lunch, of which was very disappointing. The meat was cold and was such poor taste it didn't taste like beef. The pigs in blankets were of very poor quality, the potatoes and vegetables were nice. This was the worst Sunday lunch I've ever had. The chicken starter was nice. To add to this, a French Bully dog kept sniffing round my table and wouldn't go away. I don't mind dogs in a pub but it was the pubs dog so I would not expect this dog to be allowed to do this. Overall would not recommend this place.

Had Sunday lunch beef greasy not nice no taste , roast potatoes awfull , meal was cold halfway through as the hot food was servered on cold plate , ordered a soup starter waitress forgot and came with both mains she did apologise and said I can bring it after your mains I declined her offer, price at £19.00 for poor main meal BAD!!! Sack the chef !!!!

Visited today for lunch with Wife, daughter & 18 month old grandson. The adult meals were all £19. The food was nice but we felt the portions sizes were only 60% of what we feel it should be for £19. My grandsons child's portion was £8.50 which is well overpriced compared to other similar places we visit. We came away hungry & feeling unhappy. The service from the staff was friendly & attentive.

Booked a table for 6.45pm. Got there car park quiet, doors locked. Others who had booked also outside wondering what was going on. No attempt to get in touch. Oh well! Went down the road to the rose and crown. Busy but still fitted us in and had a fantastic meal.

Nice pub that's dog friendly with cheerful attentive staff.

Food was way way way overpriced. 19 quid for fish and chips that was a very stingy portion size, (literally about 8 chips and a tiny fish) compared to the wheatsheaf in croston for example, £11.50 for a bigger portion and better quality food. Hunters chicken was also very expensive, with the cheese completely blackened on top and inedible. Very poor indeed. Terrible ale selection as well, (one amber ale). Stay away 😂

Isn't worth a visit bar staff friendly that's about it

Had heard mixed reviews about this place but decided to give it a chance. Sat in the "secret garden", never again. Place was littered with dog faeces and areas of dog pee. Such a shame as the food was lovely.

we were taken to a table with very poor lighting. Before we had even sat down the waiter asked if we would like a jug of water!. we could not read the menu as it was so dark, Ridiculous prices..... £19 for a steak pie! £8 for a sticky toffee pudding that was presented in the smallest dish ever.... Hardly any custard and dry. Will not return.

We had a tasty meal here but it was extremely quiet for a Saturday evening which did impact on the atmosphere. The restaurant is comfortable and has an interesting natural history theme and the bar area is traditional. Prices for meals were a little high but the staff were friendly and polite and the food was well presented. Worth a visit, outside tables at the front for a sunny day.

Visited on a Thursday lunchtime with our rescue dog: as the dog is quite anxious, ( which can make him quite barky)we asked to be seated away from other diners, which they immediately did. The restaurant is very cosy and welcoming and the menu choices good. My husband had fish & chips and I had the butternut pie veggie option ( it's good to find somewhere that offers an imaginative choice of veggie options not just the ubiquitous veggie burger) Both meals were very good, the fish and chips lovely and crisp and not greasy, and the veggie option very flavourful. The service was excellent, nothing was too much trouble. We consider it very good value and appreciate the effort the young guy who served us went to to make us and our dog comfortable. Will definitely return.

Friendly staff and good fish and chips

Came here to rest from our travels and enjoy some food with drinks. The service was excellent. The food was delicious, quite possibly the best battered cod I’ve ever had. It’s dog friendly here which is a bonus. Walked 40 minutes from the train station to see if it was any good and it was perfect. The pictures on the wall added a nice touch to look at. The toilets were clean and in order. Opening time is 12 midday when food begins. The waitress told us of the specials which all sounded delicious. All the staff were friendly and helpful. There is also a dog menu if your little pup has built up an appetite. The waiter brought my dog some water which was nice. I would highly recommend travellers rest to anyone.

It’s important to note that the service is top tier. Our only observation is that for a £19 Sunday lunch, the portions leave a lot to be desired. We almost thought they had forgotten to bring out the vegetables separately. Half a carrot each, and about ten peas per plate. The menu states a “generous amount” of gravy but this was not our experience. What there was of it, was delicious. It was just a bit disappointing and didn’t justify the price.

We have been a couple of times before and it has been nice but was not impressed this time. I would not recommend the Plateau de fruits de mer if still on the menu. Overpriced, greasy and not served correctly. Sunday roast, meat was fatty and the veg cold. Shame as the staff are lovely.

We ordered salmon wellington and burger and chips. The burger was over cooked with a cheese slice and the chips was rock hard. My partner had desert sticky toffee pudding served with a slither of custard which looked as it had been scrapped from the bottom of the pan. We also had to ask to be moved from our table as there was a very strong odour of dog urine. Very disappointing anniversary meal. Wouldnt eat there again.

It was very quiet when we visited on a Tuesday evening. Great food.

Lovely meal at the Travellers Rest this evening. I had just received some exceptionally good news so decided to pop in here to celebrate on the way home. The Slow cooked beef (cooked for 36 hours) was really tasty and served with seasonal vegetables. My wife had the chicken and mushroom pie. She was also suitably impressed.

Food quality didn’t live up to the fancy menu descriptions. Potato was only lukewarm. Yorkshire pudding was just a big ball of tasteless crisp. Rice pudding could have come out of a tin - nothing special about it at all. Prices are on the high side but not justified. Disappointing.

Stopped on passing for a roast dinner with my partner. We waited over an hour for our food. We weren't told there would be a wait which we would have understood. We asked how long it would be and then told it was being plated to only wait another 15 mins. Food was ok

Very slow service took 45mins to serve starter and a further 40 mins after removing starter plates to serve main course. Then children’s meals arrived and they had eaten before adult meals came. On serving meal told the sides which were ordered could not be provided. Food was very mediocre and nothing special for high cost.

Food was overpriced my husband received a very small piece of braised steak compared to others. My fish dish was supposed to be a light batter. It was thick and soggy inside and tasted bitter like the fat was old. Also I waited longer than everyone to get served. Didn't complain as it was a family event. We would have sent the meals back if we'd been on our own.

We ordered the Teriyaki Chicken and the Fisherman's Friday Special, both cooked to perfection and good value for money. Service was also impeccable. .

Hi, I'm really sorry to have to write this, but my family of 6 booked Easter Monday 2024, for 1pm lunch. We had ordered steak pie, 3 fish & chips, 1 gammon & 1 burger, well we were told no steak pie or no fish & chips , so we changed order , the gammon was like thin round cheap , most places its usually thick like steak also you would have peas, we ordered bottle of rosie to be told you only had this particular one, we had it, when we got the bill, we never ever question a bill,but even the rosie wine was £32, I would pay that for good white or red but rosie it's a no no. I'm just so disappointed considering you come recommended .I'm sorry for my honesty

Nice pub Ordered drinks at the table 15 Arrived fast Asked if we was ready to order food. Said no please give us 5/10 mins . Came back a few minutes later .not 5 mins Ordered sunday gammon and beef Food arrived fast.veg was cold ( no check back ) .asked if we wanted any sauces asked for horseradish didn't arrive . Staff need to improve on there dress code skirts a little short ( just saying )

We’ve been to this pub a number of times. Usually it’s very busy and has a great atmosphere. We haven’t been able to make it for a while due to other commitments but we managed to go today. The staff were lovely as always but it was almost empty which is very unusual from our past experiences. The food was fine but nothing like the great quality we have had in the past. The starters of garlic sourdough and teriyaki chicken were the highlights. The mains of fish and chips and pie and chips were disappointing sadly. The pie was serviced in a bowl instead of on a plate which didn’t make sense and the gravy was bland and watery. The triple cooked chips on both meals were hard in the middle and tasted undercooked. I hope it was just an off day as it’s a shame.

Firstly the waiting staff were lovely and we couldn't fault them. Most of the starters were fine though the soup was lukewarm. Main course was also lukewarm and apart from the meat and Yorkshire pudding everything felt like it had been reheated. Desert was okay but the brownies were requested hot but again only just warm.Three of our party have been suffering with diarrhoea all day today!!! This is the only time we met for Mother's day, needless to say we will not be returning.

Lovely food could not fault dog friendly and they get a free meal fantastic place.

Food was excellent. Service was top notch ( Lewis) , the manager is so friendly and informative. A great place, we already have booked for a 90th celebration 🍾. Amazingly, they have a Dog Menu, 🐕.. very welcoming.

Our go to lunch spot! So friendly and accommodating of families - we are so well looked after whenever we go and today was no exception with the lovely Lewis. The menu and specials change regularly so there’s always something new to try as well as the classics with cheap and cheerful options on the light bites lunch menu as well as the slightly more expensive a la carte. Would recommend to anyone!

Just has a brilliant lunch here. Good is exceptional and great value for money. Really polite and efficient service too.

Disappointed! It used to be our go to place for Sunday lunch but not after this visit! £19 and the veg were just warm, one piece of the two pieces of beef I got was full of fat and chewy. The so called cauliflower cheese, you pay extra for, wasn’t cauliflower cheese at all it was cauliflower with cheese grated over it and the smallest portion I’ve ever seen for £5 extra! Sadly we won’t be back.

Called sunday25/2/24 dissapointed with Sunday lunch 19 pounds had changed menu called 2weeks ago small portion was about 11 pounds quite a few meals not available May try again when menu changes

would recommend this pub to anyone excellent food and staff very friendly would definitely be returning well done travellers rest

Visited this pub/restaurant last night for an 80th birthday party in a group of 12 and were given a private room and thoroughly enjoyed the celebration. The food was good with a wide choice of dishes, the surroundings were very pleasant and the staff were excellent.

The Travellers Rest was the venue chosen for my 80th birthday party evening meal. The meal for our party was excellent; the menu choice was superb; and the serving and bar staff were friendly and very attentive. I was presented with a lovely birthday cake as well with candles! I'm not sure whether this was provided by the staff or not. Either way it was lovely and we were all looked after so very well. Thank you Travellers Rest

Had a great Sunday lunch with family. Tip top.

Wheelchair accessible, appropriate tables for wheelchair users, able to pull up to table without things in way e.g. table leg. Enjoyable experience with lovely staff, would visit again if in the area 👍👍

Ĺovely atmosphere served by lovely waitress, even popped the fire on for us. Food lovely, triple cooked chips a must. Will definitely call again. Oh and Whinnie toe dog is just the cutest thing ever 😍

Went on Sunday 4th Feb with a friend for a catch up over lunch and was slightly worried after seeing some of the more recent reviews. However, everything was lovely. We both had the half Sunday lunch (roast chicken) which was more than enough food and it was extremely tasty and nice and hot. Service was great too and the place had a nice ambience. I did think some of the items on the menu were pricey, but in fairness the hospitality industry in general appears to have gone this way. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return 👍😊

Quite disappointed. The food was average at best and I paid the most I have ever paid for a cup of tea (nearly £4 a cup) only brown sugar with coffee style cups. Safe to say we will not be going back! I eat out a lot and rarely leave a review, but this time I felt it necessary to leave a negative review. I wish I had checked on Tripadvisor before I booked !

Booked for a friends catch up, we were surprised at the high prices of the average meals that were served.. and the boxer dog was snorting around our table wasn’t the experience we were expecting! It’s safe to say we will not be doing a return visit!!!!

having been to travellers rest a few times before, decided to go for christmas, big mistake. for £90 a head the food and service was shocking. starters was bland, then we waited over an hour between our starters and mains. This was hard as having toddlers at the table waiting for food on xmas day. When we did receives our mains, it seemed like we had been given left overs, some people on our table had no carrots, hardly any roast pots, no one had pigs in blankets, no sauces. At the time I thought maybe it wasn't on the menu but since checking realise should have. I then felt as if we were rushed to finish to our mains, as they tried to clear the table whilst one person was finishing. This also happened with desserts. clearly they were worried about the next sitting arriving. was disappointed with food and service. I wasn't going to leave a bad review, we have emailed the pub to complain and tried to call. Its been a while now and they have not acknowledged the email, which makes matter worse. Appalling customer service with no apology.

Came here on Christmas day (2023) - what some might say - the most special day of the year. Very busy,good traditional atmosphere and quite friendly staff. The downside: well; the food shall we say. Had prawn cocktail for starters: found it bland and dry and without any butter for bread.had to ask for some. The main: traditional turkey roast. potatoes and veg lovely and warm - but turkey very lukewarm indeed.totally spoiled by this major flaw. Desert: Christmas pudding in brandy sauce.lovely - no complaints on that score. The staff rushed off their feet,I guess.but we were asked several times by different servers - "if we'd like any drinks".got a bit fed up answering the same question over and over... Not cheap to come out on Christmas day for a meal - our choice of course.but overall experience was one of disappointment. Bah humbug!

Booked for Christmas Day meal , party of 5 Arrived on time welcomed at the door and the experience went down hill from there . After an hour at the table we we had received only the starter , which to say was just adequate. The main when arrived came with undercooked potatoes, over cooked vegetables and undercooked Yorkshire pudding . We all experienced and left the the main meal . Whilst having the Desert the bar area was populated with the second sitting of people, just utter chaos. I and my party will never frequent the premises again and will not recommend it to anybody. I think a decent Chef and some organisation needs to be done here . THANKS for a good ( I think not ) Christmas Day.

Warm friendly pub and staff, best pub in Chorley. Even on a busy Christmas day everything was first class, but Winnie the dog still remains my favourite member of staff 😀

Yesterday I booked a meal for New Years Eve with friends. We arrived at the pub just before 6pm as we had booked the table for 6pm. We ended up waiting one and a half hours to be served. When the food arrived, it was cold and over cooked. One of us had ordered the cheese pie, you couldn’t cut through the crust, which was disappointing. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this place to friends and family.

Very Happy with our Christmas Dinner. Nicely cooked and plentiful. The organisation of the whole event was very good, food service excellent, with no long waits for anything. We would definitely return.

Ruined my mother in laws Christmas day meal at £90 a head for extremely bad food. On mentioning this to staff and management- the reply from the manager was that your Christmas may be ruined, but you're not ruining MINE. Is that exccepptable definitely not. The money needs to be refunded. To a pension aged couple that saved up for their Christmas meal. Avoid this place, and if anyone had the same experience post it

Myself and my family went to the Travellers Rest for Christmas Dinner yesterday evening. We paid £60 per person for a set menu and we were highly disappointed with the whole experience which made us feel like we’ve been ‘ripped off’. First of all the service was very slow waiting ages for our food and drinks every time. The food was not great giving the price, the menu stated one thing and they passed plates that did not look anything like what it was supposed to be. When we complained about it, they didn’t seem to care about our opinions and left us to it as they said they were short staffed. I’m local to the travellers rest and certainly won’t be going again.

One of my favourite little places. Cute, cozy, and chilled. Just everything on point about this place. Do yourself a favour and have a visit :)

I don't know about the other reviews but the Christmas meal was to unedible. Poor service and when I complained it was me that was at fault I don't know regarding photos but the food did not resemble anything like what was presented

I attended the travlers rest as part of a group of 8 with our dogs. The food was impeccable, the staff were friendly and happy to help and the pub was cozy warm and welcoming!

Lovely burger, good value and very attentive staff.

Excellent service, food was delicious and a lovely dog friendly establishment. We will definitely return.

Booked to eat here on Saturday night at 6:30pm. We were sad to see it so quiet on a Saturday evening with only one other family in. The decor is astonishingly smart and really welcoming. The cheese and onion pie was served in a bowl with far far too much cheese sauce (you could hardly see the pie). We thought it was a dessert. The sauce was thick and gloopy and provided an overwhelmingly bland taste, making it very sickly and ruining the whole meal. It was served with chips on the side in a dish - there was no comparison between presentation of the two dishes. With a pie already full of cheese I just don’t know why a sauce (never mind the quantity) is needed. Basically a fondue set instead of a pie and chips - really disappointing and not sure who approved this. The steak and ale pie was nice although the veg tasted past its best. The service we received was impeccable and the young lady who served us provided so much information on the menu and drink options. A beautiful place but with a meal like that it’s hard to focus on anything else, disappointing as could be an award-winning establishment.

Really comfy, clean and welcoming. Staff were amazing and constantly offered to help. We took our dog and he was welcomed 🤗 and when getting his meal staff delivered right to him. Staff couldn't help more getting us drinks, food and water for the dog. Food was lovely and the staffs recommendations were spot on. Food was amazing and portions gaint.
