The Patten Arms

Well, that was most definitely the best Sunday roast I have ever had out, EVER!!! Roast beef brisket just fell apart when touched, beautifully cooked and well seasoned. Everything was perfectly cooked, veg was nice and Al dente as I like them. The honey mustard sausages were divine. Great service, great atmosphere and a bargain for the quality food we had. Would definitely go again and happily work through the menu.

We had our wedding reception at the Patten Arms because we have always loved the delicious food made by Matt (the chef) and the cozy country pub feel of the place. We were thrilled that the conversion of the bowling green meant we could be the first to have a sit-down, three-course wedding breakfast in the marquee and have use of the beer garden for our 50 guests. We worked with Chemonie (the events manager) in the run-up to decide and taste the menu with its choice of three starters, four mains and three desserts. Together we also planned what decorations and seat covers we would bring and when we could get access to set-up. Chemonie helped us organise hay bales for seating to be delivered from a local farm, to add to the rural feel. The day was just incredible! It looked perfect - so smart inside marqueee. Many commented on the tasty meals, which were devine and fine dining standard, which arrived at each table like clockwork so that everyone could eat together. We had all the space and privacy we needed for our games and speeches and band and disco, which Chemonie joined for a dance. My wife insisted that Chemonie and Matt come into the marquee after desserts to get the round of applause they deserved!

My mum had her 70th birthday party in the marquee at the Pattern Arms. They did an amazing hog roast for us, all the staff were brilliant, the atmosphere was inviting & friendly. They layout was great for ~100 people, with plenty of seating, a dance floor for the band, a bar just for the event & toilets. Can’t fault it. Would highly recommend for any event! They even fixed the cake we brought over & ruined in transport :) Thanks Matt!

Arrived to have lunch to find no staff available so had to look for them. It turned out that we had arrived just after lunchtime serving had finished. They were extremely good in still serving us lunch. Pub is a little tired. Food was good and certainly would recommend the pork bites. Lacking in atmosphere but think you should try at least once.

Wow! What a fantastic place to host a party! Thank you so much to all at The Patten for hosting Mum’s Birthday celebration but a special mention to Matt and his team for the amazing food. The buffet was absolutely delicious and everyone was treated to a delightful feast of flavours! The staff are all amazing and nothing is too much trouble. Garstang and surrounding areas are lucky to have such a fantastic place to host a celebration! Once again thank you from The Kitchen Family.xx
