What a beautiful sight over Blackstone Edge this evening!

They say there’s a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow, but we reckon we’re already pretty lucky up here as its a pot of gravy at the end of ours!!

We just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who came up the hill to see us today.

Whether you joined us for breakfast, our sell out roasts, a few drinks or just to enjoy the views, we’re genuinely grateful that you chose to spend part of your Sunday with us.

Running a busy country pub takes a lot of hard work from a lot of wonderful people, and seeing the place full of happy faces makes every bit of it worthwhile…..especially those who ordered the everything roasts!….great work!

Thank you for keeping our little pub on the hill such a special place.

From all of us at The Moorcock Inn, thank you! šŸ–¤

And what a way to finish the weekend 🌈

Start the day the right way!! Up a hill!! Breakfast served Saturdays & Sundays 9am to 11:45am.

THE EVERYTHING ROAST.

Because apparently a ā€˜normal’ Sunday roast isn’t enough.

Built for 2-4 people, depending on appetite. Bring your hungriest crew.

Roast sirloin of beef, Bank Top Farm lamb henry, pork loin with crackling and chicken supreme. Pigs in blankets, cauliflower cheese, roasties, buttery mash, carrot & swede mash, braised red cabbage, seasonal veg, fresh sage & onion stuffing and massive Yorkies - all absolutely drowned in our four-day bone marrow gravy.

And then, because we clearly don’t know when to stop…

A rag pudding for good measure.

Completely ridiculous.

Tag the people you’d trust to tackle it with you. šŸ‘‡

The puddings might be Yorkshire, but what we’re pouring into them is pure Lancashire hospitality. šŸ¤Ž
Tim’s bone marrow gravy takes four days to prepare, and you can tell…
UNLIMITED GRAVY with T’EVERYTHING ROAST

Fill your Yorkies, drench your roasties and mop up every last drop. We’ll keep the gravy coming.

Now available every Sunday at The Moorcock.

Teams been busy this morning experimenting…..

We’ve got a (not so) little something special coming next Sunday…

We can’t show you too much just yet, so this one’s staying under wraps for now.

What we can tell you is that if you’re a fan of a proper Sunday roast but struggle to decide, you’re going to want to keep an eye on this one.

Full details out Tuesday.

Better get back to the actual running of the restaurant now as we have an almost fully booked afternoon but all we will say is…..you might want to save some room next Sunday!!

A Sunday well spent brings a week of content!….and Sundays are made for breakfasts & roasts up the hill…

Whether you’re after a proper full english, Eggs Benedict, smashed avocado on toast, something a little lighter with yoghurt, granola and fresh fruit, or just a good coffee and a slow start to the day, we’ve got you covered.

And we don’t forget anyone either….we’ve got vegan, veggie, lighter bites, double sized and gluten-free breakfast options available too.

Breakfast is served every Sunday from 9am until 11:45am at The Moorcock.

No rush, no fuss…..just good food, good coffee and a proper Sunday morning.

Then from 12pm, the Sunday roasts take over…

Oh… and did we mention?

The Lamb Henry Sunday Roast is back…..farm to fork from our mates round the corner at Bank Top Farm

Proper Sunday food, back where it belongs.
