Food Quality
Pros:
"Prawns & Kievs for mains - which were both divine!"
"The melting chocolate pudding was amazing."
"Sunday buffet was amazing! Large selection of different meats, veg and potatoes."
"Massive menu choice, lovely pub, really helpful staff and food was lovely."
"The food was really nice and we'll presented."
"We always enjoy our food when we come to the Astley."
"The carvery for the price is far better than at Toby Carvery."
"Had a nice ish roast beef dinner, not as good as a carvery but as an alternative it wasn't too bad."
Cons:
"Prawns did come back later on in the evening though but that is probably a one off!!"
"Then the honey nugget & the cookie dough cheesecake for pudding - which were both average."
"We thought the carvery was amazing the first time, however, this time everything was cold."
"1 main complaint my salad leaf was black in places."
"The gammon seemed undercooked and the Yorkshire puddings were tough, not even crispy, just tough."
"Really wasn't happy with this visit. For the first time ever all 6 plates had food left on them."
"The food was fine, the service was far from it."
"The first time we visited I was bowled over, the second time I realised I must have been slightly drunk as the portions are certainly generous but they are nothing special and taste fairly average."

"Tonight was my birthday and from start to finish I had 5 star treatment from the best staff in Chorley."
Cons:
"Staff could do with being a little more organised."
"The waitresses were nice enough when they came to the table just a shame they spent 90% of the time lent up against the bar."
"We then also have to wait at the bar for 5 minutes to pay because there was only one person serving."
"Waited 20 minutes before someone asked if we wanted drinks and bear in mind it wasn’t busy."
"Fairly large party, struggled to get staff's attention."
"Had to continuously ask for extra drinks and dessert, that was when you could actually get their attention!"
"Just been here for the first time. Was a bit noisy, think the acoustics were amplyfing everything."
"Very disappointed with the service tonight. Table hadn't been cleaned and most of the staff were not wearing masks or visors."
Ambience and Facilities
Pros:
"Lots of seating inside and plenty more outside for the warmer months."
"Great food, great laid back atmosphere."
"Gorgeous beer garden!"
"Really nice pub, plenty of seats available both inside and outside."
"Nice atmosphere, staff polite and attentive."
"It was alright I guess... Waiting times were disastrous, a few mistakes with the order."
"Large menu to choose from and inexpensive. In fact a good price."
"Good food but expensive drinks and no WiFi at all can't even get 4 or 5g anywhere in the pub."
Cons:
"We had reserved a table and when we arrived for the carvery were told that they had no chicken left which was a little disappointing."
"My overall experience was spoiled when approaching the main entrance from the car park I saw that the area immediately in front of the door was heavily littered."
"It would be a great pub if the WiFi is sorted out the staff are fed up with people complaining about it."
"The place is lovely. The menu states that there can be a 30 minute wait for food, which I don't mind if it's freshly cooked."
"The only concern is dogs off leads which made me feel uncomfortable."
"So we moved. After this all was well. Had the carvery which was plentiful though not much choice of traditional veg. and no mash."
"We were lucky and got the last available table on an early Saturday evening. The staff couldn't have been friendlier."
"There is a separate dog area.... the food is always good....its just like having your tea at home.... the bar staff are always polite..."
