Hark To Bounty Inn

Quiet and historic pub. We didn't see it at its best as it was a wild, wet winter lunchtime so was very quiet when we visited. Few customers and pretty cold in the pub. Food hearty and very generous portions. Good local fare. Pies outstanding. Service was a bit taciturn to begin with but warmer later. A few real ales on offer. Surprisingly, no low or no alcohol beer options at all, which was a bit disappointing.

Arriving alone after a long day cycling I popped in here while waiting for the youth hostel over the road to open. Little did I know just how much this place would go to my heart. Immediately the landlady's big smile and welcome made me feel welcome. I was instantly made to feel like a local. Nothing too much trouble. The cask beer is in outstanding form. Later that evening I returned for Pork Loin and black pudding covered in bacon wow!!. It was that good I returned for a hearty breakfast and on the Friday night, an incredible fish Friday deal. Oh and on one night, there was a brass band playing! Everything is very reasonably priced and of a high standard. Great staff, great old building. A must visit.

Great little pub in Slaidburn, a welcome rest for a walk on the river hodder and a great welcome from the landlady. Didn't eat there but the food looked good. Definitely recommend 👍

Nice old traditional pub. Good food, great pie, clean comfortable rooms, on suite was a little dated but can forgive that for the price. £50 for bed and big breakfast.

Wonderful pub, full of character, and hasn't been modernised to death. Lovely pint of Lancaster Blonde and superb homemade food...Steak and Ale Pie is just delicious ! A regular stop when we're in Bowland.

Set in a beautiful small village location, a friendly and spacious interior, with polite service. The food was of good quality and came in generous portions for the price.

Called in here last Monday after checking reviews, we were on route to the Ingleton area for the week having travelled up from the Midlands. We just had one of the specials listed, like a cheese and potato flan which was very tasty with salad etc, our lurcher dog was made to feel very welcome as were my wife and I. The pub was quiet. Food came out in next to no time. The landlady was very friendly. Parking is round the back. To be honest the pub doesn’t look much from the front and it looks to be a very quite little village but the pub is cosy and friendly inside and the service we couldn’t fault . I expect it gets a little more busier as the season moves on. If you’re after a quick stop off, good food etc you won’t be disappointed. You can stay here as well.

The village of Slaidburn is in a beautiful and peaceful part of Lancashire. The Hark to Bounty sits in the heart of the village and has a long history of importance here. We stayed one night and this was a real treat. The building has plenty of features including wooden beams and eclectic dispays in the bar. The staff are all friendly and helpful. Our room was comfortable and functional, although expect a 1970s style bathroom with carpet and a shower over the bath. This is not a boutique hotel! We had towels and small tubes of shower gel and shampoo. The bedroom was fine, although the carpet was showing its age. We had a kettle, mugs and tea and coffee and a TV. The room was above the bar and we could hear customers until closing time at 23.00, then it was quiet, although as it was haymaking time farm vehicles were still passing later. The food was hearty and reasonably priced. There were two vegetarian options on the menu (no vegan option) and we had one each. They were both tasty and just what we needed after a long walk. Breakfast was basic but enough. There were no vegetarian sausages but we were happy with eggs on toast. Vegans could have had beans on toast. We also had packed lunches and the cheese on the sandwiches was very generous and gave us a good amount of energy for our long walk the next day.

Slaidburn's watering hole. Great beer on tap, quaint old pub.
