Review The Sparrowhawk - Fence

I was looking for a good place to go for some food with my family and I can across this place and I went in and asked if the where still serving food at 7pm and they said yes and then proceeded to ask me how many people I wanted to seat for so I told them 4 and the guy on the bar went and spoke to his manager and he told me I could have a table in the middle of the pub so I asked if there was any chance I could change that as I have a small child with disabilities and didn't like being in the middle of a crowded place so he went and told his manager my circumstances and they proceeded to take me to a quiet place in the pub and said he would clean the table for me and my family then he didn't wait to long after we sat down and asked if we wanted any drinks and then proceeded to go get us menu, we had a look at the menu and he came back with drinks and we placed our order of food the guy also made my youngest daughter with disabilities feel so welcome in the pub and when she had a few little moments in pub nobody said anything to us and we waited about 20mins for food which was brilliant the staff came and asked if everything was okay for us and kept checking if my youngest daughter was enjoying her food and she was very happy with her pizza and there understanding of her disabilities and my food was perfect I dont write a review if I didn't like the food and service I recommend going to this lovely family friendly pub and will be going with the rest of my family and friends Thanks again to all the staff here for helping me feel welcomed here Here are the pictures of the food we ordered and will be ordering again in the near future

Amazing food l will be going back the staff so lovely understand becasue my youngest children have additional needs she can't cope big place went out the own way get us little table we happy with the service we'll be come back soon 😊😊

Thoroughly enjoyed this pub/restaurant. This will be our new regular fine out provider when we are visiting family in Burnley. I had the salt and pepper kebabs, despite being slightly overcooked they were delicious. A couple more chips would have been nice. Friendly jovial staff and a delightful environment. I'll see you in December.

Went with a friend for a catch-up and a few drinks. On our arrival we were shown to our table which I booked at the beginning of the week. Given the menus and was told there was a wait for food as they had two large party’s in. They took our orders and brought our drinks. We chattered so didn’t have to wait too long for food. The food was hot served on hot plates. I had sea bream and my friend had duo of duck. The food was delicious and the service was second to none. The staff ensured we had drinks nothing was to much trouble for them. Thank you staff and chef for making our time with you so enjoyable.

Really lovely pub with good outside area. Nice food I got the sliders. Well portioned. Staff were friendly and bar service was quick. Very nice visit 😊

My first visit to the sparrowhawk and I liked it. It's a place with character, a good start to me . We ordered drinks then went to our table. Service was excellent I might add, I had steak a starter, goats cheese with red pepper in croquettes cost £6.70 . Main course i had beef and ale pie £14.50 . Both courses were very good, well presented as they say but I'm old school ,value for money and it was . So if your passing through Fence nr Burnley pop in to the sparrowhawk.

Went for my wife's birthday. Despite a tiny bit of confusion with the pre order the evening went very well. No problems with us bringing a birthday cake,you can't have a birthday without candles! My sister has a few allergies but this was no problem the chef. After the meal we paid separately, again,no bother. Everyone enjoyed the food,my kebab was spot on. My wife had the chicken in mushroom sauce.Definitely be returning.

1st class, we absolutely love this place. Friendly, chatty, down to earth staff Landlord a true hospitable gentleman. Always going out of his way to please, to a high standard. Nice & lovely ambiance to the place. Makes you feel happy to want to stay all day. Alway an enjoyable experience, eachtime we frequent here. Delicious Food. Great parking, beautiful views. Nostalgic feel to this historical oasis. Great facilities in & out Disable facilities pet friendly. This place is a dream everytime.

Second visit here but it wasnt as good as our first. The fishcakes were very good but let down by my main of chicken, dauphinois potato and green beans, I love dauphinois but these were extremely dry not creamy at all. There was a mix up over our Grandsons meal as told he got 2 sides with his (small) pizza so he asked for chips and garlic bread having been told any side off main menu then was told garlic bread not included so he chose onion rings as his second sidewhich came as a very large portion so he only managed a couple, when we got the bill they I had charged the onion rings, I queried this and was told by a different server that onion rings wasnt included as a side so I said I refuse to pay for them as wasnt told, they took them off the bill.

A pleasant and relaxing environment, friendly and attentive staff. Appropriate health and safety measures and plenty of space available. Prompt service though at slightly above average service costs. Definitely recommend!

Met up with some of the family for a meal, we arrived early so we sat outside for a drink first, beautiful views. We then went in for are meals, very helpful and friendly staff and the food was excellent and very good portions. Was a very good afternoon!! Highly recommend!!

My husband and I had lunch here and we both enjoyed our meals. It's a nice place with friendly, welcoming staff. I have to avoid gluten and dairy for medical reasons and was able to have a good meal.

We had the steak and ale pie. Full of tender steak,no fat. Great meal. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Definitely will be going again.

Went last week for a late lunch, the food options are really good, it came out quickly and looked fantastic, tasted great too! The gentleman who served us was very polite and couldn’t do more for us, we’ll definately be back!

Wonderful food. Best sticky toffee pudding ever

Really nice food here. Lovely olde worlde type place with a modern twist.we went for Sunday lunch which was fab

Obviously, this wasn't a "normal" meal at The Sparrowhawk, but the atmosphere, service and food all seemed to me a notch above their competition, and I hope to return soon.
