Not good at all

My family and I had a meal at the traders arms and it was a disappointment, after reading all the reviews we thought we would give it a go, but the food was awful and the service was even worse, won't be returning.

Thwaites hospitality is unbelieveable

We arrived at 6.45 approximately and many people were eating meal in the outdoor area.We purchased our drinks (cost about £20.00).When we asked for menu to order meals we were told that they had stopped serving meals in outdoor area (despite fact that people around us were being served with full meals. When we asked what time they were supposed to stop serving meals outside, we were told there was no set time, they had just decided (for their own convenience) to stop at that minute.

Great value

Under new management and thought me an the missus would try out the new menu. The beer in here is always top notch and the food was great really good value for money. Had 2 courses a few drink bill was about £40 well worth it and just what we needed. Will definitely be back. Thanks very much guys

Typical Thwaites overpriced & unedifying

We stayed at this hotel as we were attending a wedding reception. i think the hotel is overated as it needs updating. The room was tiny and very old fashioned. The drinks were expensive and the snack we had in the bar before the wedding was overpriced a burger and chips was £22.50 i would have expected steak for that price. I would not recommend this hotel,We also didnt have breakfast as it was £27.00 each

Bitter experience

It really pains me to write a bad review of this pub as I have supported this pub for over 20 years but the sourness of the landlady left an incredible bitter taste in my mouth and I will not set foot in here again. The landlady was behind the bar on arrival but did not acknowledge me or my family. On ordering food, the grumpiness with me and the staff from the landlady was noticeable. The table next to us was served before us despite ordering after us.

Absolute rip-off

£25 to check in early? £25 to check out later? Because I used Booking.com, I had to also pay £10 to use the spa facility, which i did'nt, because you cant continue to use the spa after 11am on day of check out. Total con, and £17 for breakfast is truly obscene, I travelled alone but if your a family of 4 breakfast will set you back £68.00!!! Management obsessed with tricking customers out of anything they can. Pathetic actually. Plenty of other hotels in the area, use them instead.

Good honest food

My wife and I went there for our evening meal (Tea, Dinner, supper, whatever you call it) and the food was superb. The steak and kidney pudding (locally made) was the best I've eaten and my wife had fish. Beautifully served and delicious. To cap it all, really nice friendly staff too.

Extremely disappointing overall

From the time we made a reservation until we checked in, we were inundated with emails urging us to book a table in the restaurant. These marketing emails were sent via the booking site and there was no option to stop them. At check in, we were told that we could not have breakfast unless we made a reservation. Thankfully, we never did. When we saw the menu we understood the reason for the aggressive marketing tactics - the prices in the restaurant were extremely high.

Simply the best pub in Blackburn

As the title suggests, this is the best pub in the area. Great ale, great staff, great food and great atmosphere. Always something going on. Keep up the good work guys..Just stopped off for one but ended up staying longer , very nice comfortable pub worth a visit.

Rip off, avoid at all coste

Absolute rip off!! Do not bother going, save your well earned money and go elsewhere. £10.45 for a pint of shandy and an orange and Lemonade. Absolutely scandalous. When I queried the cost, the bar tender looked sheepishly at the till, she knew it was overpriced and looked embarrassed. How a pub can charge those prices is ridiculous. In a city centre trendy bar I would expect that, not in a local pub.

Great village pub.

I’d heard very good things about the new management.The service was friendly, the food was absolutely brilliant. Good wholesome pub food. I had the steak pie which was lovely, with a lovely rich gravy. All plates cleared. We will definitely return, I think if this is the standard, the other pubs in the area should be worried. Thanks again. We will definitely return.
