Recommend the restaurant very highly especially the steak night. Good value also the cream teas in afternoon. They do a good spread for funerals plenty of variety. We recently went to one, that's how we discovered this little gem of a place right along canal. Will be great in summer, we will be regulars now.

I'be been going to this pub for their Sunday Lunch for the last year since reading the reviews on here. However, in that time, the service, staff friendliness and food standards have all slipped. We were 2 hours on Sunday for a main/dessert and the waitress was pretty rude to us because we were 10 minutes late for our reservation (even though the place was empty). The Sunday Lunch has reduced in size and increased in price. Won't be back for a while.

We were totally surprised by the range and diversity of the dishes. When our food arrived we were gobsmacked by the quantity on each plate. If you are going to eat here, bring your appetite - we were glad, for once, that we didn't have a starter and we certainly didn't have room for pudding. Definitely value for money and we will be going back repeatedly.

This pub now offers the best food, drink and atmosphere in the area. We used to be able to just walk in and get a table, now you are well advised to book in advance - any night of the week! The menu offers a wide range of excellent dishes and the daily specials are so numerous that 'memorising the specials board' has almost become a pastime. The quality of food and drink and high standards of service go way beyond what you expect for 'pub grub'. The most attractive point in the 'Farmers' though, is the friendly staff and wonderful ambience created by landlord and host Edward. You are made to feel so at home and welcome that you really don't want to leave even after your meal is over. The care and attention to detail is evident throughout, from the decor to the food, the service and the care of the fine ales. This is a pub where everyone really is made to feel special. The canalside location is stunning and deserves a mention but really, you will feel so welcome inside you will hardly want to go outside to admire the view!

We hadn't seen our friends for ages and they had reserved a table for us at the Farmers as its known locally. We arrived early and sat in the bar area and had a couple of drinks while pondering over the menu and looking at the specials board. What a great choice there was. Judging by the amount of people coming and going from the restaurant part of the establishment. It was wise of our friends to book. The service was not obtrusive, professional, courteous and friendly. We asked for a break between courses. No problem. The presentation of the food was excellent and tasted the same. I think someone said it was under new management. I can only say keep up the good work to the staff and management at. The Farmers Arms. Burscough. We had a great night. Thanks.....
