Artisan Ribble Valley in Ribble Valley

Attended a work Xmas Party here. Very impressed with the level of service and quality of food. Bar staff provided instant service on entry , a theme that continued throughout the evening. The upper section catered for around 30 on a U shaped table. A pre ordered menu , soup and Pate were really tasty …. Main course of Turkey or Beef (that separated with a touch of the fork). All served on a nice hot plate , with beautifully cooked vegetables , sweet & roast potato. The food delivery was expedient and gracious, despite people popping in and out of their seats. There is no doubt I will revisit the restaurant and hotel , it was simply that good. Well done to Poppy for booking such a great place & thank you Artisan for setting a standard others should aspire to.

Not the place it was. Food options not as varied and quality has dropped as well. Very loud at times, would consider other options first now.

Fantastic Pre Christmas lunch for a family party today, great menu to choose from, very christmasy, we all really enjoyed our choices and the service was excellent! Highly recommend

The starters were excellent but had 3 cheeses and onion pie, but it was more like a mash potato and onion pie bit disappointed

Having received a Buy you a Gift Voucher, we decided to use it at the Artisan to celebrate my husbands birthday. On arrival, we were shown to our table which was just off the main busy dinning room. The staff were attentive but not over, checking up everything was ok and topping up our tea and coffee. The food was lovely, which included warm sausage rolls and pigs in blankets. The scones were lovely and fresh, with more than enough jam and cream. All in all, a very enjoyable experience and we shall certainly return for another.

The food was amazing (loved the black pudding bon bons), staff were all incredibly helpful,welcoming and friendly, and the atmosphere was just right for a leisurely lunch. Will be returning in the not too distant future

Great food, friendly staff and lovely environment

Our first visit to the Artisan, very comfortable dining, attentive, & efficient staff. I ordered the burger, it came with coleslaw, fries & onion rings . It was delicious. Others ordered halloumi bites, Moroccan meat balls, & various pies. Everyone enjoyed their food & the birthday cake arrived on cue! Would definitely go again any time.

5 Star Review We recently held an event gathering to celebrate my mum’s life after her passing at Artisan Ribble Valley, and the experience was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcomed and at ease. They were so attentive, friendly, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly as we needed. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and they brought a warmth and professionalism that made the day feel even more special. The venue itself is stunning and very classy, with beautifully stylish decor that adds sophistication while still feeling super cozy. As night fell, the atmosphere became even more relaxed and serene—exactly the right balance of comfort and elegance. The food was simply outstanding; everyone commented on how delicious it was, and it really elevated the day. Artisan Ribble Valley was the perfect setting for our gathering, a place where we could come together to celebrate my mum’s life in a heartfelt way. Knowing my mum had enjoyed many meals here herself over the years made it feel all the more special and meaningful. Having also held my son’s christening here, I can confidently say this is the ideal venue for any occasion, whether a casual lunch or a major celebration. Thank you, Artisan Ribble Valley, for making us feel so welcome and cared for. This was a truly five-star experience, and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Our first time at Artisan, a family meal for Zacs 23rd birthday. Very stylish, comfortable restaurant, friendly efficient staff. I ordered the burger, it came with chips, coleslaw & onion rings. Couldn't fault it , it was juicy & tasty. I really enjoyed it. The rest of the group enjoyed halloumi bites, Moroccan meat balls, & two different pies. They were all happy with their choices. Would definitely go again.

All 4 of us enjoyed a wonderful evening at the Artisan for my birthday treat. The food was excellent and my food allergy was catered for very well. The staff were attentive to our every need and the DJ played our favourite tunes, which added to me having a birthday to remember. I was even made a special birthday cocktail🍹which was delicious.We will definitely be returning and recommend Artisan very highly I feel I have to just mention one thing that I noticed though. Which I feel was detrimental to the top class venue. It was the very short skirts that the waitress’s were wearing. I felt that one girl in particular was having to pull her skirt down at the back, every time she served at a table. Which to me made her feel uncomfortable. Maybe a little adjustment in them would be advisable. Even though they were wearing black tights as well, they still could be a bit longer.

Was there for my brother's wedding lovely place rooms great

Baby shower, perfect, just right and what a great upper room

Wow just wow, food is incredible I got the Moroccan lamb meatballs and spicy cabbage side. Amazing flavour, service to die for. Thank you guys so much.

Went for a private party in the private room upstairs. Lovely atmosphere. Food looked lovely and most people enjoyed theirs. I had the chicken and pesto pasta and it was okay but not much chicken and quite bland, not much flavour. Creme brulee was satisfactory not amazing. Service was good, one server very bossy and shouting though. Enjoyed the evening and would go back to try another meal.

Such a good roast dinner, great option for vegan/vegetarian roast and the kids roast dinners were incredible!

I went to Artisan three weeks ago and had an excellent Chicken Caesar Salad. I sent my compliments to the chef. Today, on my recommendation, my family went especially to have the Chicken Caesar Salad, only to be informed it was no longer a menu option. They, and I , are very disappointed. None of us will be patronising Artisan again.

Visited for dinner Thursday 29th August and got a great welcome off Courtney. She explained what vegan options there were and how they could adapt things like pizza. We chose roast harissa cauliflower to start and then the vegan sharing board which was huge. The food was delicious and filling and the sharing board defeated us. Apparently there is a new menu being released mid September so I can't wait to see what vegan options are on it. We had a chat with Luie and I have to say Courtney and Luie need a special mention, what a fabulous friendly team at front of house. Will definitely revisit. The new menu has been released and is poor for vegans, it's like everywhere else they've chosen curry for the vegan main course and falafel as one of the small plates? What is it with places wanting to do curry and falafel all the time? Sadly we won't be visiting with our friends later this month now.

We live nearby and pass most days and almost never pop in. Early Friday evening we put that right in decent sunshine and, with new four legged family member continuing to develop his social skills, we turned up for a couple of drinks and food. Decent menu though we ended up playing it safe with fish and chips and a chicken burger with aspen fries (upgrade). Both really enjoyed and the fish and chips included mushy peas, curry mayo and gravy. Nice. GF also enjoyed her chicken burger (the remains of which are in our fridge). She also had a Paloma cocktail made that was not on the menu (it’s how she rolls) and the service from all staff was very good. I think this place is on the up and we will find it very easy to come back soon.

The food is incredible, wine and cocktails also amazing! but honestly The one thing that really stands out is the staff. We were served by a couple of different people, and they are just so happy & pleasant! It really does create a lovely atmosphere to not just ‘eat’ but go for a nice meal. I can’t wait to go back! Hats off to the chefs and staff!

Music was a little loud , great venues for weddings . nice food .

The nicest lunch I had in a while!!! You have to try the Sunday lunch roast chicken. Absolutely fantastic and I'm a picky eater but this dish was beautiful. The atmosphere relaxed, the service great a pleasant Sunday afternoon. Many thanks to everyone!!!

Came for afternoon tea yesterday as a party of 5. The lady who greeted and served us (sorry, I didn’t catch her name but she had dark hair and glasses), was absolutely fantastic. Polite, willing to help with anything and went out of her way to make sure we had what we needed. Reasonably priced and the food was one of the best afternoon teas we’ve had. Without being asked, the server brought us a cake display stand and cupcake stand as she saw we had both. Honestly, I’ve been complaining about how customer service has been lacking since Covid, but I couldn’t fault a thing here. Will definitely return.

Fantastic service from Louis. Great food. Good atmosphere. Well worth a visit. Plus...Hawkstone on tap....

We came in for Afternoon Cream Tea today, one of us four being vegan. Great effort goes into this, and the vegan option had the same high standard as the "regular" one. We really loved the whole experience, food, and service. Our two German relatives were suitably impressed too 🙂

Went along for afternoon tea . Would recommend.

Bacon butty with Lovely local food products And Garden all in one

Best Sunday roast in a very long time. Shouldn't have had the garlic bread first. What a plate full!

First time visiting today even though I'm a local I came for a function today. Honestly I'd always thought this place would be a bit expensive and posh for me but I was wrong. Very friendly service and staff. It's not cheap but for the area I have to say it's fairly reasonable. Would visit again and recommend.

We had a wonderful afternoon tea this afternoon. There was a good selection of both savoury & sweet. The soup was delicious & hot, sausage roll slice was fab. Cakes were lovely, not dry & just enough then the decent sized scone with proper clotted cream & strawberry jam. Can’t fault anything apart from one little thing but wouldn’t stop me going again. We were there for just over 2 hours & in that time no one came to offer more drinks or ask if everything was alright. I had to get up to ask for more cutlery for cakes & scones. It wasn’t that busy so it would have been a 5* review if we had that but my friend & I both agreed how lovely the AT was.

Fab food, quick service. We went for our anniversary and were surprised after the bill with a delicious bespoke cocktail each. Front of house was very attentive and passionate. Highly recommend.

I visited Artisan for afternoon tea with friends and family,I will definitely be returning again. The food was the best I've had and the service was 10/10. Gorgeous clean place and very peaceful. Halal options are available if you let them know 24hours beforehand. The staff will go beyond their limits to help.

Could not fault it at all. Breakfast lovely would have liked pots if tea/coffee

We stayed here for a couple of nights, everything was absolutely lovely great staff fantastic food and a beautiful place to stay, we even used the swimming pool which was lovely and warm and never too busy, there is also a gym sauna and steam room if you want to use that, will definitely be back again.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch. Would definitely recommend the roast beef dinner. One of the best I have had.

Food was amazing, service was really good! Great night, thanks.

Excellent food choices on the new menu,and 10/10 for service

We travel from warrington to stay here - yes rooms are dated but massive . The food is off the scale. Eaten all over the world but these lads are wasted here as the food is a taste sensation- great serving staff too . Ok it’s three star but the breakfast is also great a do it .

Visited Artisan on 20th April 2024 to meet some friends. First visit for myself and my partner. What a great experience. The ambience is first class, great selection of beer and wines and four fabulous meals with starters served by very Professional staff. If you get the chance pick a table overlooking the Lancashire countryside. We will return 👍

Nice enough place but seemed a bit quiet when we went unfortunately. Had a nice cocktail menu tho 🍸 😋

The most perfect afternoon tea for my baby shower and birthday. Artisan were able to provide for vegetarian and gluten free as well as standard meat option. Very good price at £25pp and lots and lots of food left over! Service was outstanding and cocktails and cocktails delicious. Catered for 20 of us but availability for many more! The terrace is a lovely space. I would definitely recommend this for a private dining experience. Thank you Artisan Ribble Valley!

Had probably the best food we’ve had for a while. We did have starters but the mains and desserts were delicious. We had the chicken and tarragon ballentine, chicken and chorizo burger and beetroot, wild mushroom and butternut squash risotto. Followed by two sticky toffee puddings and the chocolate and orange tart. All was delicious. Only minor criticism is that despite more than enough staff, the service was slow but this didn’t detract from the food. We’ll definitely be back

The food was good but we were so impressed by the service. Don't know her name but the waitress with auburn hair in plaits was superb. Happy, friendly and really on the ball a definite asset to this restaurant. Highly impressive service

Came for a family meal and couldn't fault the place. The service and food was outstanding. We'll be back very soon. Thank you artisan team

I booked afternoon tea here after my lad bought a gift voucher for my wife. Having food intolerances isn't easy, especially finding afternoon tea that can accommodate our specific needs! from the first minute we were made welcome, our intolerances to certain food types was acknowledged (I'd already checked beforehand) and when the individual teas arrived, they were perfectly presented and 100% compliant to each of our needs. The chefs deserve immense credit for producing such tasty and varied selection of food that perfectly matched our needs. As far as afternoon tea goes it was right up there among the best, factor in our dietary needs and it's hard to believe it could have been done any better! Loved it!

Good food, beautiful place, good service. We went on january for lunch, february on Valentines Day and March for a dinner. Amazing place for all the 3 times...rs.

Great atmosphere,very welcoming,clean and great service ,great food for a great price,would definitely recommend.

We came here for breakfast and it was great. We were sat down and had an offer of tea or coffee and got to choose from a varied menu with items such as all day breakfasts, eggs benidict, kippers and your standard bacon/sausage/egg on toast and more. While you are waiting you also have the offer of cereals, toasts, pastries and juices. The staff were really friendly and couldn't do anything more for you. Also I have to mention that the cleaner there was doing an excellent job, I've never seen someone do such a thorough job!! Also visited for Sunday lunch and wowwww. The beef dinner was great, so much option on your plate it was unreal! Definitely would recommend coming here

Waited a while for bar service, niche selection of drinks, lovely atmosphere and modern setting

We were staying at Foxfields Hotel this weekend so ate at Artisan on the Friday and Saturday evening and used the bar during the day. On both evenings we had an amazing experience. The food was exceptional; well presented, fresh and clearly prepared with real care and attention by the chefs. We eat out on a regular basis but my husband said his meal on Friday was the best restaurant meal he had eaten in a long time (pig cheeks and the confit duck). The only thing better than the food was the service. The waiting on staff were attentive and the service was slick even though the restaurant was busy on both nights and catering for some large parties. Special mention has to go to Jay who served us some beautiful cocktails and was an absolute pleasure to meet. We worked our way through a number of the cocktails over the weekend, some old favourites and some new ones recommended by Jay. We enjoyed every one of them and it was clear how much Jay also enjoys developing and making these house specials. Overall a fabulous experience and we would highly recommend Artisan to anyone thinking of booking.

Great food,really tasty ,well presented in good environment

Amazing food. Nothing I can say other than please visit

Afternoon tea was amazing! Plentiful with a good selection of cakes, sandwiches, soup, pastries and cakes. The warmed scones were the best! Freshly baked warm and fluffy. Served with loads of jam and clotted cream. We couldnt move after it all. Best scones we've ever tasted!

Been several times before and mixed experiences but generally the front of house staff are great. In the past bar staff seem to have difficulty with using a brandy glass and not putting ice in one but minor issue. I have a serious dairy intolerance (milk wont kill me just makes day after not very pleasant) and when been before staff have always adapted meals to suit. Big well done. Went last night and the new menu consisted of everything containing dairy. After several back and forth, well done front of house staff you were great, I just asked if the chef had all the raw ingredients to make dishes from scratch could he just make me a simple dairy free dish. There was chicken/steak/duck/burgers/fresh veg/potatoes/sauces etc on the menu and all he could come up with was a vegan pizza. I'm not vegan as the staff know. Throwing a couple of slices of pepper courgette and onion on a pizza base (for £13!!!!) was the best an "Artisan" chef could come up with. We were also sat very close to the pass so I'm sure he could have asked he is he was unsure of anything I liked etc. All in all my food was a disgrace for a place such as this. My companions food was excellent by the way. Again, big up for the front of house staff but the cooks may need a little more imagination.

Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank Sarah, Warren, Louis and David for making the 30th birthday celebration night of 20 people a great success! The staff were brilliant and were so lovely and. extremely helpful. The food was great ( please pass on our thanks to the chef and kitchen staff} and the service outstanding! We would highly recommend you to family and friends for future events. Thanks again,

Had a lovely lunch, we had the steak ciabatta and cheese pie,the steak ciabatta was the best he had ever eaten! thick steak perfectly cooked with tasty mushrooms and a lovely relish and the cheese pie was delicious, really enjoyed it, clearly good chefs and nice friendly staff.

Lovely food, decent portions and price, went for a baby shower here. Easy to find and ample parking.

Love the offers and great to sit ouside in good weather. Not always well staffed and have had to wait.

Beautiful meal, amazing service, helpful and friendly staff. Gorgeous setting

Food was exceptional, we stayed at the adjoining hotel and enjoyed the restaurant for breakfast and dinner, was very nice and only got 1 photo of the black puddings

The beer isn't looked after at all. Really is a terrible pint. Had to resort to orange and lemonade. Very limited choice of beer aswell , not even got a bitter.

Breakfast was amazing and the staff were great. Had a wide variety of hot and cold food. The sausage’s were lovely and bacon coooked to perfection.

Coffee served in very big thick mugs, I don't like that. I think after a big meal a cup of coffee is enough. I wished I had ordered an espresso.

Absolutely spectacular Christmas Day meal. 6 of us ate a delicious 5 course meal in great surroundings. The Artisan team were great hosts and the atmosphere top notch. We’ll be back in 2024 for sure.

Average afternoon tea, was ok but nothing exciting! I have have nicer teas for less money.

Not many real ales, food is ok, coffee at breakfast was so strong it was undrinkable, the tea was no better

Unfortunate enough to spend an evening with an employee of our company who had travelled up from Derby to stay for the night before heading off to a local meeting the following morning. He was awoken twice by the fire alarms going off due to the staff being unable to control vaping of a few in the bar at 3am. The food was by far one of the worst meals I’ve ever had (pics attached), this is the most expensive item on the menu - Himalayan Rib eye steak. The staff haven't bothered to contact me and all I get told via fb messenger is the manager is a very busy person. Doesn’t deserve the 1 star, disgusting value for money, inept staff and even worse food. Embarrassed that I put up our sales rep in this hotel and suggested eating here too.

AGreat night ,had seabass was delicious,will definately go again.

Booked for 2 our daughters and their partners and my wife & I. Arrived to be greeted at reception and shown to our table. DJ music as we entered but as we were at the far side of the restaurant it’s wasn’t too loud. Our waitress Maddie took our drinks orders and we had these while waiting for one of my daughters and her partner who were running a little late. Maddie was really obliging at at no time pressured us. When my daughter arrived Maddie came straight back to take their drinks order. We had already ordered some nibbles which duly arrived. We then ordered our starters and main courses. Black pudding starter was exceptional as was the garlic bread and tempura prawns. Main courses of lamb shank, Salmon, pizza and kebabs were superb. We had ordered wine which was great. I have got to say that Maddie was superb throughout and she is a credit to your restaurant. A lovely attitude, personality and just a lovely lady - well done Maddie. We will be back - thank you.

My Girlfriend gave this 6 out of 10, and she is not a fussy eater. She and I have just eaten out enough to know the difference. Service poor and they didn't seem to know what they were doing. Chicken 1 breast dry the other moist, hows that possible. Style over Substance.

A beautiful afternoon tea took place for a friends 30th. I nearly cried

First time here and loved it. Staff friendly and food delicious Will certainly visit again 😊

We booked for a family meal and were delighted with the evening. We were greeted and taken to our table very professionally. The menu was extensive, we placed our order and waited for the food to arrive! The ambience was superb with background music. When the waiter brought the starters, they were massive and real quality freshly prepared. We all had different mains, all of which were exceptional. The only disappointment was that nobody had room for a dessert (even my son who has a sweet tooth!) Many thanks for a great night, we will be back soon, i can highly recommend this restaurant.

Excellent service and excellent food.

Had a lovely dinner a couple weeks back to forgot to write a review. We both went for the steak which was cooked perfectly. Good portion size for the price we paid for and made sure that my partners food was perfect since he had a few dietaries. Manage to get a quick cocktail in made by Jay. The staff was amazing, very attentive and looked after us through the night. Will definitely be returning soon with friends.

We've been a few times and the food and service have never dissappointed. The only downside is the "background" music - it's just way too loud for the venue/ ambience. Music aside, no hesitation recommending Artisan 😊

Food was really nice, menu had a good selection but slightly different to your standard menu which was refreshing. Atmosphere was great with a live singer but felt she finished too early after we'd finished eating we stayed for a few drinks but the singer left at 9 maybe 10/10:30 would be better

The food and seafood was cooked to perfection and was fresh. Great table service with management checking the dining experience with the right level of interest and genuine regard.

Celebrated a surprise 18th Birthday on the 9th Sep for my niece. Restaurant manager Loui went above and beyond in making an evening to remember. The area that we had was perfect right at the side of the bar, was made private just for our party. The food was lovely and the staff were very helpful. Would definitely highly recommend any special occasion at The Artisan if your after a venue with beautiful, contemporary decor.

Fantastic meal with friends. Super service and amazing food.

We were there for our dear Friend's 90th Birthday. What a lovely venue...we ate and drank and enjoyed lots of stories from Barbara in her younger days.

Great food, fabulous staff, and lovely atmosphere. You won't be disappointed

Sunday lunch booking and we both ordered the Sunday roast. Drinks order taken but then it was left on the bar whilst the bar tender was serving a string of customers. Collected them myself in the end. Food arrived but there was no mashed potato. When we queried this we were told that the kitchen staff had forgotten to prepare any so none was available at that time. The lady we spoke was very apologetic and did say she was none too pleased with the kitchen over this. After we had finished our plates were collected but we were not asked about dessert. We then sat for another 15 minutes whilst staff cleared and reset another table (which wasnt desperate as there were plenty of other set tables) and then chatted amongst themselves. We therefore requested the bill and left. To sum up - great food, shame about the mash, serving staff need to be more attentive.

We had a lovely Afternoon Tea with Bubbles.. a gift from my son and his wife for Christmas 2021.. yes 2021.. we finally got around to booking it.. and we were not disappointed.. greeted with a lovely glass of prosecco with a raspberry garnish.. followed by the AT.. adorned with a cup of soup.. carrot & coriander, a lovely slice of a sausage roll/wellington fusion, freshly prepared 'crust-off' sandwiches, ham & tomato, egg, chicken with a tarragon (?) mayo.. a pepper and salsa wrap. Then cake.. a dainty portion of carrot cake, Bakewell and a chocolate cake. Next was a lovely fresh currant scone with ample servings of cream and jam in their individual pots. This was accompanied by a very nice pot of tea each.. altogether a genteel and delicious, perhaps (for us, with the bubbles).. decadent experience. I can honestly say that the quantity of food served is ample.. we both felt we had had a hearty delicious meal. My favourite... has to be the sausage roll/wellington thingy.. Mmm 😋

The food was lovely, service was appalling! We asked if any halal was available, we were told no so opted for vegetarian dishes. This included a child’s afternoon tea. The waiter continuously came over to ask where we were from and our occupation etc he...

Great food. Great service. Will be going here again.

Great place to eat and drink in the Ribble Valley. Always friendly customer service, lovely atmosphere and amazing tasty cocktails which are beautifully presented and photogenic. Can't wait to visit again. Came here on valentines day and the service provided couldn't have been better.

Food was excellent and the waitresses were very friendly and helpful.

Went there to a Wedding. Worth a visit. Would recommend

Friendly and professional staff

Superb. I'll definitely go back again

Food was good. Service was awful.... 3/4 hours waiting for 1 drink to be brought over from the bar, chased twice....picked it up myself in the end! Waitress who served us needs to learn how to smile and not be quite so grumpy!

Great experience beautiful place

Had the fish and chips. Totally covered in goose fat, tasted awful even the gravy and sauces couldn't disguise the flavour.

Out for late tea on a Monday evening. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. I chose the lamb mains, which was absolutely delicious 😋 My daughter chose chicken burger with chunky chips which she enjoyed. My husband opted for the fish and chips which...

Lovely meal on Thursday x had great service and quality food

Amazing meal for my daughters birthday! Went back for afternoon tea a couple of weeks after and it was still just as good.

6 adults 4 kids. Table near the kitchen which we enjoyed. Staff were very friendly and no waiting for drinks. Garlic bread. Prawns. Boa buns with jackfruit not so sure, better with some Asian slow cooked pork maybe. Black pudding. Soup ( served with a...

I recently celebrated my 65th birthday here and the food was lovely and the staff were very friendly and we felt very welcome. Thank you.

Service from all the staff was excellent, especially Mario who was welcoming and attentive. The cocktails were well made and tasty. The food was very good, everyone enjoyed their dishes. The only comment would be, that the dauphinoise were oily rather than creamy. However, the...
