The Top Lock — Restaurant in Chorley

Looking forward to the grand reopening I was somewhat disappointed (after passing an encouraging sign saying ‘ Large choice of cask ales’) to be offered either Theakstons old peculiar which only a very few people would choose or freezing cold Theakstons Summit which was so cold I’ve really little idea as to what it tasted like. The landlady was very friendly though but the place was full of dogs (yapping dogs at that) Suppose it’s fine if you’re a dog obsessed lager drinker. The decor looked exactly the same so I’m not sure what work has been done in the interim but decor aside they will have to offer a better choice of real ales than the mediocrity I witnessed. They’ve had enough time to prepare you’d have thought they would get it right. Lastly, please ask the owners of noisy yapping dogs politely to take the offending mutt outside.

Firstly I need to say ; reviews are not in my comfort zone ; however, today if is needed ! We have been in this pub quite often over the last month as we have been moored near . EVERY single time we have been in the service , hospitality and food has been spot on . As I have previously worked in hospitality from cafes to high class restaurants I am very aware of quality , quantity and value for money . This pub is awesome for friendliness, quality and value for money . As far as a Sunday lunch in a pub goes you will not find better ! Thanks to your team for a joint effort and your hard work in making this pub exactly as it should be , welcoming to all singles , couples and families. a BIG well done....

CRT..im sorry the carpark was more than enough for me. And i have failed on more than one occasion to identify who actualy holds parking rights.. i feel the dwellings ajacent to the carprk REALLY NEED to know whos in their spaces wich are heavily obscured by overhanging trees and undergrowth. With .poorly maintained baylines...im here to use crt facilities..but NOT TONIGHT. MIUCH TO BE ...
