The Original Farmers Arms

Had a few drinks on a works do and the service was quick and the drinks were good

Excellent quality food, attentive staff and nice atmosphere. If you are in Ecclestone and need to eat, this is the place to go. We will be back

Great food and service. Coped really well with our very large party at lunchtime. All our food was served together and was piping hot. Really good value too. Ver carta

We started with some mushrooms that seemed to have been defrosted and lacked flavor. The steak casserole with Yorkshire pudding was almost repulsive. The chips were too greasy and overcooked. We won't be returning to this restaurant.

Proper pub, with really tasty food served. Had home made potato onion and thyme soup, delicious , followed by beer battered cod chips and mushy peas, amazing!!Portion size very generous, enormous piece of cod done in delicious beer battered, with triple cooked chips. Thumbs up, will definitely visit again when in the area

We went to the restaurant for lunch. The food was average at best. I ordered the chicken gyros, which was served on a flatbread that was so tough, I was afraid I might break a tooth. I don't appreciate paying for subpar food, and it was even more unpleasant to have to listen to the barmaid loudly discussing her personal problems while trying to enjoy my meal. Ver carta

The dishes at this restaurant had some flaws, such as an egg shell found on top of the black pudding and chicken, blood in the pork chop, and a strange taste in the sausage and steak. Additionally, all the meat was heavily seasoned with black peppercorns on the underside. While this may be suitable for those who enjoy a strong black pepper flavor, it may not be to everyone's taste.

We didn't know the Original Farmers Arms at all, but booked on the strength of online reviews while we were staying in the area. We were a bit doubtful on turning up. It looks a bit shabby and unloved from the outside. Inside, too, is basic and worn. But it's a genuine, friendly old-fashioned pub and we had a really excellent Sunday lunch. Couldn't fault it and would definitely come back.

I used to go to the Farmers Arms over 25 years ago when I lived in Chorrley. I was really impressed that the food was still as good and portion sizes still superb! We had 2 specials and a pizza. My partner had the homemade lamb mint sauce pudding (real meat not mine) and I had the rump steak, perfectly cooked with bacon haggis with whisky sauce. The chips were suberb and real not usual frozen chips! I woukd give this 10/5 as sadly it stops at 5 stars. Excellent value for money and we will definately be back! Thank you Ver carta
