Great little pub tucked away in the heart of Littleborough. If you like craft beer (and cider), you'll love it here! The beer choices are always spot on and the beer is kept and pours really well. The food is my area of contention with this place. It's great quality and interesting and ever changing (part of the problem when you have something you really like and then it's not there anymore) but it can't quite decide what it wants to be. Personally, I loved the pie, scotch eggs, pork crackling et al bar snacks they came back with after lock down. I felt it complimented the beer and atmosphere really well. Great quality, hearty food with super beer to match. One to watch food-wise but I wholeheartedly recommend it for the beer alone.

What a little gem, great atmosphere, quirky place, outdoor cabins are fab, staff are so nice and helpful, last but not least the food, soooooo good. Will definitely visit again. Chicken wraps and wedges, vegan meat and potatoe pie mash peas and gravy, rag pudding all delicious.

Best pub chips I've had in years. No messing - thick but not wedge like, potatoes are peeled, and cooked to perfection.

Well worth the short walk from the town centre to this fine micro bar which is also an Untappd Verified Venue. They’ve nailed it with modern, classic cask ales - Vocation Bread & Butter, Cloudwater Happy to name just two. The beer garden with its chalets look amazing. The photos in the digital Good Beer Guide certainly do not do this bar justice.

Lovely little place, once we found it tucked away off the road. Breakfast was lovely, plenty on the plate and all quality ingredients. However the 50 minute wait and the fact the place was really cold was a bit off putting. Would deffo go again though if in the area but would probably ring the order through first 🤣

Been back after covid and after they had a fire. The food was Soo much better then I remember before very good portion sizes, amazing flavours and reasonably priced. Loved the gyoza and burger very tasty! Excellent service and very attentive staff. With each course they came and asked if everything was ok and made sure our glasses were never empty. Superb evening

We had our wedding in the cabin and we couldn't have asked for better. The communication and planning prior to the day was great and Lisa and the staff were accommodating with my requests. It was made simple and easy. On the day of our wedding we had nothing to worry about, staff were great and attentive, food was amazing and our guests were impressed with the venue as a whole. Thank you to everyone, especially Kaylee for making our special day one to remember

Visited today for the first time. What a gem of a place. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we entered through the door. We both had the roast beef dinner, which was very well presented and tasted delicious. Staff checked to see if everything was ok with our food and offered us more drinks. I had the chocolate and toffee tart for dessert, which was absolutely divine. We will definitely return, our trip was worth the 45 minute drive. Thank you and all your staff.

Called in at midday today with my Brother for lunch. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Quick service, great value for money but most importantly the food was delicious, served nicely with generous portions. Couldn't find any faults, would recommend to anyone. Well done. 👍

Visited on the 15th Dec 2021. Friendly Staff, Nice atmosphere and Jazzy relaxing music. Enjoyed their Festive buttered crumpets and Pumpkin Spice latte. They got it just right; plenty of coffee taste and not too much syrup. Just what I needed to keep me company and stay warm while waiting for a friend.

Brilliant pub , up on the Pennines ! I have visited and eaten here many times!! Today I had a proper Yorkshire Farmers Dinner , Barnsley Chop! It was huge!!!! A fantastic GLUTEN FREE option!! The GLUTEN FREE menu is great!! Lots of choice! It's a great place to come during the Summer too , to watch the Sunset!! The staff are very pleasant and helpful! It was rammed , so best to leave it until later to eat! One of my favourite pubs!

Drove passed on the way to Todmorden and looked inviting especially with elevation and views so called in on the way back home . Nice traditional pub and food looks very nice and good value was quite busy unfortunately we were about ten minutes late for food but had a look at menu and specials board and we will be back . Staff friendly especially landlord who chatted to us while we enjoyed our drinks ..

Delicious italian food, ravioli comparable to what we had in Italy. Mushroom soup was thick and luscious; mussels appetiser was very flavourful. The dessert tasting platter was disappointing though, cream puff tasted stale and chocolate cake lacked flavour. Great ambience by the lake.

We showed up on valentines (Saturday) we hadn’t booked and we were welcomed. We had Bruschetta to start then my wife ordered sirloin steak (medium) with Skinny fries. I ordered Lamb (medium) with mashed potato and veggies. We ate all of our main dishes, then we had this platter of sweets. Which OMG was awesome. Can we thank you for the delicious meal. Friendly service and certainly a valentines night to remember. 😉 Bob & Fiona.

The food here was absolutely delicious and well presented. The early bird menu is great value for money and has a good selection of dishes on it. It was just less than £22 for 3 courses which is excellent. I had the bruschetta, sea bass and crembrule, each dish was very tasty. The decor was nice and the staff were friendly. Great experience.

Ate a Suburb Today for the first time after hearing good things from my Fiancee and our daughter. First bit of advice would be book in advance the restaurant is quite small and compact. I had the Suburb Breakfast, My Daughter had the same and my Fiancee had Smoked Salmon with Scrambled eggs and asparagus with 2 Latte's and a Flat White Coffee. Service was OK, Restaurant was clean, Food was amazing to be honest one of if not the best Breakfasts I has ever eaten. Prices are quite expensive but the food quality and ingredients were Top draw so no issue at all. Total Bill £52. 5☆

Lovely little cafe in a beautiful town. Had the medium breakfast and it was absolutely delicious. Just what was needed after a night camping on the Moor. Good value for money, sausages tasty, eggs cooked perfectly and a good cup of tea and coffee. Service was impeccable, the waitresses were polite and helpful.
