It changed hands last year, but the grub is still homemade, and very good, and the service is friendly.

Plus, there's plenty of parking, and it's even a pretty building, with a covered smoking area at the back, overlooking the fields.

Cheers for that, I'll let you know how it went......

Doug just a tip if you phone up to book.

They might answer the call with 'Hello, Duck'oth Hole'.

As that's how it's pronounced locally.

Well, that was lovely, if people wish to make a note of it. Mostly English Food, nicely presented, fresh cooked vegetables, etc., and, I think, £6.99 (didn't pay) for choice of 2 courses. Starters/main or main/dessert. Well-stocked bar .. tried to make a note of the beers, specially for Doug, but not sure if John Smiths, Castlemaine and Boddies (think) fits the bill ? Used to be The Lidget (sp) across from the cemetery.

Pleasant surroundings and excellent staff .. will definitely go again.

Opening times:-

Tuesday >> Saturday 11 a.m. - 3. p.m and 6. p.m.-11 p.m.
Sunday all day 12 noon -8 p.m. (traditional roast available)

Lunch and Evening .. Blackboard Specials but full a la carte menu too.

Weddings, funerals, parties for up to 70 people.

Anything else ... LOL .. oh yes:-

01254 882642.

Know quite a few people who has been to the Harwood, and it certainly gets good reviews.

Did you find anywhere Doug? If so where and was it good?

Padiham Lass · 21-05-2008, 14:41

I like The Walton Arms in Altham.

I've only been there in the evening, but I'm sure they do lunches too. The food's good and the service is really friendly.

They also have a web-site, so you can check out the menu before you go.

BERNADETTE · 21-05-2008, 15:19

Believe the Walton Arms has changed hands and the food has gone downhill. Not been myself but daughter went a few weeks ago, she was really looking forward to it and was very dissappointed.
