Farmers Arms — Restaurant in West Lancashire

We visited this pub twice recently. First time the food was so good that we decided to come back the week after. We had the 2 course meal made of pie and freshly cut chips and a really sublime lemon cheesecake and a parsnip soup with toasted ciabatta for the first time . The second time partner had a burger which was thick, juicy and well cooked with a starter of mushrooms in creamy sauce, I had the salt and pepper squids with cauliflower soup that was super delicious and we had ,to conclude, again taken the cheesecake as we couldn’t stop thinking about it for the whole week 🤭. To sum um: food is lovely, portions are massive and it seems to be fresh from farmers and butchers, atmosphere is great not too busy and very friendly staff, pub is very clean and gives out a relaxing old fashioned farmhouse atmosphere. I’m not too sure why the bad reviews but we will definitely...

Teenagers appeared to be in charge on their own. Ordered drinks without ice - came with ice - twice. 4 of us ordered dishes which had egg and Hollandaise on top. Mine (fishcake) had a drizzle of tartare sauce on plate, but NO egg or Hollandaise. I returned it and received no apology. When I received it back, the salad and fishcake had been transferred to a new plate (the salad still had tartare sauce on) - but at least I had egg and Hollandaise. Still no apology. However, all 4 dishes had barely a teaspoon of hollandaise on. Extremely disappointing. Several of us ordered beef stroganoff for our main course - it was ok, but definitely NOT stroganoff 😞 Very very disappointing. Baffled at other people’s reviews - however they do appear to be mainly from 1+ year ago. We live locally and will not be...

Do not recommend We visited here at weekend, and were so disappointed. The food was awful, definitely not worth the money. We hadn't been for a long time, believe it has new owners,but went on the basis of how fantastic the food USED to be, NOT anymore. Starters was crispy chicken,it was so dry, barely any chicken in the coating. Mains was a carbonara with bacon - 1 tiny piece of bacon & the rest just pasta, the other was chicken with peppercorn sauce, barely any chicken, and the bit there was like what you can get for a cheap sandwich filler, sauce was as runny as water, veg when it arrived was undercooked. Didn't bother with dessert just wanted to leave. No atmosphere anymore either, very sad as used to be lovely. The waitress was nice but sadly will not be visiting unless...
