The Game Cock Inn - Hyndburn

I chose this restaurant for a family birthday meal with a total of six people. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with our experience. We decided to order the carvery which offered three choices of meat: ham, beef, and turkey. After paying at the bar, we were disappointed to find out that the turkey had run out when we were in line for our food. We were told that it would take another hour to an hour and a half for more turkey to be available. Some members of our group were only interested in the turkey, so they had to settle for just vegetables. The roast potatoes were hard, the cauliflower cheese was dry, and the other vegetable options were unimpressive. Overall, we were not satisfied with the meal and will not be returning to this restaurant in the future, nor will any of my family members.

First time here, large car park not many patrons, bar service was helpful and quick. The menu isn't huge but I picked the Blackrose burger and my partner had scampi. We received an apology for the delay in delivering the food, although neither of us minded as fresh cooked takes time. When the food arrived, the scampi was tepid. The Blackrose burger was served on a cold bread roll, the bottom of which was hard, almost like freezer burn. The cheese I was assured later was nacho cheese as per the menu (let's call that cold and squeezy). The actual meat was quite tasty although I always prefer my food hot, or at least above room temperature. I was taught that for coleslaw to be really tasty it should have almost equal quantities of carrot, onion and white cabbage and a good mayonnaise. I've tasted better from the saver range to be honest. We did notify staff before we left so as to hopefully enlighten them as to the quality of food. We didn't ask for any refund as I know some people see getting a refund as a game. I'm not playing with the Game **** again!

Had our annual Christmas bash at the Gamecock last night. The food was excellent, lots of choice of meats, and the veggies were fresh, monster Yorkshire puddings and all piping hot! Staff were welcoming and very helpful service was faultless. The dessert Black Forest Sundae, was simply the icing on the cake for me!

I went to this restaurant and was disappointed to find that there was no menu, only carvery options. Throughout my meal, staff kept coming out from behind the bar to spray air fresheners due to a lingering drainage smell. I have been a regular customer for the past 5 years, but I cannot believe how much the quality has deteriorated.

Four of us met up here for a family gathering/Christmas meal out. The young man on the front of house had hospitality skills many other eateries sadly lack. The chef on the hotplate was cheerful and we received an excellent portion. There was also a fine array of vegetables with the only minor quibble being the mashed potatoes were cold. All in all an excellent experience and we will most certainly be returning again soon.
