A Proper Local
The Original Farmers Arms is a traditional country pub and restaurant in the heart of Eccleston, Chorley. Run by Lisa Griffin and Head Chef Ian Hartley for over 18 years, we pride ourselves on traditional values, a friendly welcome, and freshly homemade food served every single day.
We're proudly independent - no brewery ties, no shortcuts. Everything from our Yorkshire puddings to our desserts is made from scratch in our kitchen. Takeaway is also available - just give us a call. It's not just our job, it's our future, and we're grateful for every customer who walks through the door.

Reviews
The food we ordered last night was absolutely fantastic. We will definitely be putting another order in.
Late finish at the office, nearly called into Tesco for a pizza but thought I'd call the local instead! 30 mins later and two 2 course home cooked meals ready for collection!
Just had the most amazing fish and chips ever! Whatever we order is always flawless. See you next Sunday.
Lambs liver and bacon, onion gravy - as good as I have had anywhere. Awesome, 10 out of 10.
