Black Cock Inn, Broughton-in-Furnessback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Our rooms for the night on the Inn Way to the Lake District.
Oozes history and very nicely quality. Even if the door didnt fit in the frame of our on suite :-)
Lots of different rooms and somehow, they managed to squeeze a live band into the main bar area on a Sat Night. I won't forget the Sad Eyed Puffins and their protest song about Pylons.
Beerwise, it was an average Moorhouse Pendle Witches Brew followed by a much improved TT Landlord.
Great community pub.

Another disappointment in Broughton. This looked like quite a nice pub. But we were in need of food. Our experiences at the Old Kings Head weren't the best, the High Cross was closed and we knew the Manor Arms didn't do food. So to find the kitchen at the Black Cock was closed was a worry. Luckily the locals suggested a nice bistro around the corner, which did the trick. The barmaid was also friendly. But the ale range - Lancaster Red & Blonde & Copper Dragon Golden Pippin failed to make up for the lack of food.

Friendly pub/restaurant. Good food, and a limited but adequate choice of real ales. We found it best to eat here, and then drink at the Manor Arms, just a short walk away.

Visited recently along with visits to the Prince Of Wales & Manor Arms,which are both excellant. However, not knocking the Black Cock but there isn't much right with this place ....but thereisn't much wrongwith it either.
This Inn is a cross between a pub and a restaurant - like the owners can't decide which road to go down.
The ales on offer were well kept but all were from Lancashire & one from Yorkshire. Will visit again.

Nice boozer. Good food well and freshly cooked. Recent change of ownership and they are really trying. Nice country feel with log fire and good range of well kept ales. Alhough clearly a local pub in the town, no problem with being an outsider as a very warm welcome to all. Plenty of room, as although the bar is rather small, and the best place to be, there is a restaurant and upstairs seating.
Perhaps the atmosphere could be improved with some more sensitive lighting as it is rather brightly illuminated. I notice that live music is now becoming available on some occasions, which adds to the attractions of this very comfy and relaxing old pub.
Give it your support, remeber the British pub is an endangered species, use it or lose it.

Traditional pub in this pleasant Lakeland village, a walk down the hill from the better-known Manor Arms.
It's rustic and relatively unspoilt, with low beams, traditional furnishings and a fine real fire in the front lounge. The layout is unusual, with a front lounge with a tiny,separate bar room within it, that is akin to a snug and is most characterful. At the other side of a bar up some steps is another, less remarkable bar area and room. A separate restaurant also functions, although pub grub is available in the pub itself and is very good value.
On my visit, a War of the Roses theme was ongoing as part of the Broughton Beer Festival. The front snug/bar room had Lancashire beers and the upper bar room Yorkshire beers- the Lancashire beers appeared to be winning. Tried a couple from Bazens and a Bank Top and a Lancashire Hot Pot, as well as a Leeds Best- all very well kept.
As the beer festival was on I'm not sure how many cask ales are regular here, but on this showing it can't be bad.
A very enjoyable experience and a pub I would recommend you visit alongside the Manor Arms.
