Bashall Barn in Ribble Valley

As a wedding venue this place is amazing. The food, setting, everything for the wedding was perfect. We have a really lovely day. Our problem was the rooms. We had room 4 which has no window to the outside. There is a frosted window to a corridor. No air conditioning or ventilation and a small double bed. This was just horrendous, we got a taxi back to Bolton at 1.30am as we couldn’t sleep. Several of the rooms are the same with no window to the outside. I’m abit claustrophobic so this was just awful. The room needs a king size bed and at least a fan / air conditioning.

I was at my nieces wedding and I have to say WOW the views are spectacular and just what you’d want to see in your photo album and the food was amazing, compliments to the chef and team. BUT that were it end! When we arrived with our over night bags there was no reception area to help with check in or ongoing information. Before the wedding got underway I asked how do we gain access to our rooms but was told we couldn’t book in until 15:30. The wedding was at 13:30 and I would have liked the opportunity to freshen up after such a long drive. After the ceremony and the wedding breakfast (18:45) I ask again “can we check in and what room” I was told a number and a code to a box that contained the room key just at the side of our door, so no official check in process. Given the double room had cost £200 I was completely disappointed when stepping inside. There was a tin roof and stone flooring, and it was freezing, nobody had considered tuning on the heating to warm up the room in preparation of receiving guests. We popped our bags in turned on the radiator and headed back to join in the celebrations. When going back to the room, it was still very very cold but it was late and time for bed. In the early hours of the morning I attempted to turn on the radiator again but to no avail, it wasn’t working, and the room was freezing. The following morning at approximately 7:30 I went to see where and what time breakfast would be served and if there was somewhere warm to sit but was told by the domestic staff that it was “probably “ about 9-9:30 when breakfast would be ready and they where in the middle of cleaning the area, so off I went back to my freezing cold room. At 9:30 we presented for breakfast. The hash browns were greasy and the “streaky” bacon well over cooked. As we spoke to other members of the family it would seem they also had no heating in there rooms either. When I did mention this to a member of staff I was informed that “the radiators have a temperature thermostat” which I explained didn’t help because it didn’t actually work! Half way through breakfast a young lady came and asked if we had placed our key in the box, quite bewildered I questioned what she’d asked. I was informed that check out was at 09:30 and could I please place the key in the box now. I explained that, given we were never given an opportunity to “CHECK IN” and not told about the heating system or what time breakfast would be served, it would be fair to say on our part that “CHECK OUT” had not been explained either and that we still needed to pack our belongings! A taxi to a local guest house would have been a better option but we had no foresight pre booking our room. You live and learn.

Daughters wedding beautiful place well organised food amazing could not of been a better day. This is a no cash venue card payment only

Was there for a uni mates wedding. Amazing setting with rolling hills to all sides, staff were fantastic and the food was delicious during the wedding breakfast Decent priced Amstel or Biere Moretti. Outside wedding area and as the weather happened to be fantastic it was an amazing setting

What a fantastic place, we booked as air bnb but when we arrived the management treated us to free food and drinks on the wedding fair. We also got breakfast, we didn't expect that. Lovely place with lovely people.

Today the stench from muck spreading at this venue was positively nauseating. Poor wedding guests as it’s so overwhelming.

Came for a family wedding. The views are unbelievable, the building is a beautiful place to have a wedding with a very rustic feel. The staff were lovely and smiley, with the only downside being how cold it was. The firepit outside brought a lovely relief from the cold and was kept stoked well past 11pm

This place is no longer open as a cafe/restaurant but only operates now as an exclusive wedding venue. Looks perfect for a wedding, but not much use when you’ve driven 40/50 miles hoping for lunch with a view.

An amazing place for a wedding,food fantastic..views breath taking......but spoilt by the manager with pink hair,you shouldn't be in the hospitality business,if that's how you think it's acceptable to talk to people,never met such a rude person

Bashall Barn had become a popular place for lunches at attractive prices in a superbly picturesque location outside Clitheroe. Sadly for most of us, it has now changed exclusively to a weddings venue and is no longer offering meals to passers-by. You can now only enjoy this place if you are attending a wedding. Quite a loss for the rest of us!

Went to a wedding reception here - food was the worst I have ever had at a wedding reception, the starter was unrecognisable, for the main meal meat was tough, potatoes badly cooked, desert clearly bought in no tea or coffee, one of thewaitresses was rude to us and when we complained about the quality of the food one waitress just smiled at us!! Setting lovely and views amazing. if you book your wedding here get your own caterers in!

We were attracted by the barn / country setting, well signposted from local lanes. The gift shop is amazing, so many unusual gifts to buy, bottles of pickles and sauces, greetings cards, all sorts of well-chosen basketware etc. We spent a lot of money, ahead of Christmas. Also went into the cafe / restaurant area. As it was mid-afternoon we just had their lovely scones and jam and cream. Everywhere is spotless, all (friendly) staff duly masked and track-and-trace in operation. Toilets immaculate. They take it all seriously. Big car park outside. We were mightily impressed overall and would visit again.

This is a good location for the Brit stop with excellent views. We were disappointed that there was very little food available to buy in the shop. We used to stock up if we were on our way home.

Beautiful setting and was really happy to discover they do a vegan breakfast. Unfortunately everything was just really bland. The smashed avocado wasn’t seasoned at all, the chickpea sausages were pretty tasteless...overall everything just needed some seasoning. Friendly and helpful staff though.

We usually have a meal here at least once a month and have had some have been brilliant. However today was short of the standard we have come to expect and I think we will be going elsewhere next time. The salad barrow was something at least one of us had every time we visited, good quality, large portion of fresh salad; not anymore STOPPED. I decided to go for burger instead without cheese. When it came there was a burger and a small dish of chips, the chips were not even level with the top of the dish. I asked the waitress is this a full portion of chips, giving her the hint that I was not happy, she replied it was and walked off. Not sure if this is getting petty but i then counted the chips and there was the equivalent (some small pieces) of 8 about 3 inches long. When I checked the burger it was small and had a piece missing. I didn't want to complain further so ate my burger and we left without bothering with the usual coffee/ice cream. I decided to check the menu before I wrote this review and so that I should have had Coleshaw as well - No missing. Come on get back to the quality of food you used to provide

We had our wedding here 5/9/2019. We had a perfect day the staff were very attentive and friendly. The views made for perfect photos. Can’t recommend it enough.

We used to visit here before the expansion, when it was excellent and a very homely, good-feel place but now, it is awful. We went for an 'afternoon tea' at 1510, to be told there's none done after 150011!!!!! What on Earth is an afternoon tea, if it isn't in the afternoon? Rude and discouretous staff, cold atmosphere, sterile looking and no charm at all. They shouldn't have changed it so much. Will definitley NOT be revisiting or recommending to anyone.

Arrived Saturday day lunchtime for a light lunch/snack. We were asked to choose a table but then waited at least ten minutes, probably more like fifteen, no menus were supplied despite staff walking past our table. Eventually we left and despite walking past staff no one sought to retain our custom, suspect they were happy they didn't have any more customers to serve. Won't be back.

Delicious food as always. We love eating here, the staff are lovely and food always great. Love the new sandwich bread cooked in the pizza oven too!

Fab food fab staff fab location . The reason I have given a 4 star is because some people came in with dogs (which is fine) but the owners let’s the dogs sit on the chairs and weren’t told to take them off . I’d hate to think that the next person sitting in that chair had to sit where a dog had been sat , that was disappointing in my opinion that they weren’t asked to sit them on the floor, otherwise brilliant lunch out

I usually visit here for my birthday lunch. This visit was good.. of course, the scenery was fabulous and the decor was great. However, I was fairly disappointed by the service. Although the staff are lovely, we waited quite some time for our chicken burgers to arrive. It wasn’t even that busy. Despite this, the burgers were delicious as were the chips. I just wish they had more variety on the menu... there was only a few things listed.

The food in the cafe is splendid and also the greeting cards are delightful, but as a venue for a wedding, it clearly needs some improvement from actually looking like a barn

Called in with members of the cycling club,and I have to say we have never paid so much for such minuscule portions anywhere, this place is all show and no substance. Never again.

Great place for gifts, cards and food. Jams and lemon curd are delicious. It makes for a lovely day out surrounded by spectacular scenery.

Visited for lunch with friends, good to see a vegan breakfast and a special of beetroot and butternut squash Wellington with roast potatoes, vegetables & vegan gravy on offer as well as a BBQ jackfruit baguette which is what I ordered.

We visited for Afternoon Tea for my sister’s birthday. Four adults and two children. It was the first day of the Christmas Afternoon Tea. The food was delicious. A really good balance of savoury and sweet items, including a tiny teacup of a tasty soup. We were offered the opportunity to swap any items which was appreciated. The service was excellent, and at £15.00 per head it was great value for money

Had a lovely lunch and brought out really quickly and hot

Have been coming here for years since it was a small cafe and farm shop.

Was ok, limited menu and what we had was as I say ok. Reminded me of a garden centre type of bistro.

Neighbour had been beefing this place up and was expecting a little more from the visit. Pleasant enough greeting from the chap on the desk as we went in but home produce and especially the made up hampers were a little on overpriced side we thought, although there were some and unusual nice gifts and good chocolate selections. Can't comment on the cafe as we didn't go in there.

I have been here for lunch and then the day after a wedding. Such a great venue . The service is efficient and the food amazing. We had a wonderful time here and highly recommend you visit . There is a great little shop as well.

We've not been here for years,not since the Bowland Brewery was based here,so thought as it was a lovely autumn day we would have a trip to clitheroe and then in to Bashall Barn,the interior is different to what I remember,as its also now a wedding venue,but still as nice,the views are stunning on a good day,as it was today,the menu,offers something for everyone,including gluten free and vegetarian options,but as we were only having coffee and cakes,we only saw what other people were eating,every thing looked delicious and plenty of it,I chose a gluten free chocolate brownie,but there was another gluten free cake to choose from,my friends had scones with butter and jam,which they said were delicious.The shop offers a good selection of gifts etc,its definitely worth a visit.

Great place for breakfast, lunch or just cake and coffee. been coming here for years, lovely views so relaxing. service is fast, staff always polite. they also make lovely hand make chocolates in the shop.

The food has gone downhill now. Feel they are just interested in the wedding business. Terrible lunch today it was just basic food served badly with no flair or real interest in how it looked or tasted. Staff used to be fabulous now they don’t seem to know the menus or anything about the food. We have been going there for years and years but we just won’t go back again now. I appears all the energy of the business is focussed around the weddings and events which is fair enough but why now just shut the restaurant and the shop (which has also gone downhill) and focus on the events. Very disappointing.

First time visit here, to attend family Wedding, on an August day, when it never stopped raining.The venue is situated in a small Hamlet about 10/15 mins drive from the centre of Clitheroe, reached down some narrow country lanes, though reasonably well signed from Clitheroe. There is a large car park across the road from the venue, unfortunately not very well surfaced, and because of the foul weather, our shoes were well covered in mud and cinders, by the time we made it inside. I gather that when not used for Weddings and functions, the venue is a Restaurant, with a bar,ice cream parlour, coffee shop and a couple of other retail franchises, but non were operating on the day of the wedding. The ceremony itself takes place in a decent sized room at the rear of the property, which in effect is quite an extensive large Barn conversion. There are huge windows looking out over the Ribble Valley, to a distant hill, which on a nice day, must create a beautiful view. Unfortunately today everything was wet, dismal and covered in cloud. There is also a large verandah outside which would be perfect for photos and mingling, but not today. The ceremony was well organised by the Barn staff, we were served drinks, on arrival and then drinks and canapes after, all done very professionally. The wedding Breakfast was held in a large room at the centre of the complex, and once again, excellent service and well organised. Tables all laid out nicely. For the evening we used the bar area at the front of the complex, which also included a dance floor. Our overall impression of the venue was that it was decorated in a shabby chic style, which obviously would appeal to a young couple like the Bride & Groom, and certainly as a Wedding Venue, it passed the test with flying colours As a Restaurant to drive out to in the depths of winter, I reserve judgement. Nevertheless we had a lovely day, despite the weather

Our visit was for a wedding anniversary with a large group of friends.

It’s a great venue and usually the ice cream is excellent but I was a bit disappointed in the ice cream. I wonder if the fabled vanilla shortage has hit the ice cream parlour as the vanilla tasted a bit artificial. The ice cream was nice and smooth but the taste wasn’t as good as usual. It’s a nice place to visit and the outdoor seating area is a big draw on a summers day.

Haven't been to Bashall Barn for a few years so thought we'd try it today. It exceeded expectations. Delicious lunch combined with spectacular views of the Ribble Valley. Will be back.

Lovely Restaurant, well set out. Great food, and great staff. The soups in particular are excellent. If what you want is not on the menu, they will do their best to accomodate your wishes. An amazing selection of cards for all occasions, and a small but pretty unique offering of gifts, in the adjoining shop. A must visit when in the area..

I attended a wedding at Bashall Barn and left very impressed. Not only is the venue beautiful, but the staff were fantastic. I requested gluten/wheat free vegetarian food and was not disappointed. All my dishes were identical to the rest of the guests but just adjusted to meet my dietary requirements. Honestly I've never had such delicious food and been catered for so well at a venue, I would definitely recommend. Staff were excellent and very friendly too.

Mum fancied a change and it’s ages since we’ve visited this place. We won’t be returning! Much quieter than we remember. Quite a long walk from the door to a table for anyone with mobility issues. Mum had the Rag Pudding and enjoyed every mouthful. I had the hoisin duck pancakes, they were fine. He had the Lancashire hotpot - awful - meat like rubber and with one of those awful ‘tubes’ that remind me of liver from school dinners of years ago. We expected the lamb to be well cooked, succulent and lean - is that too much to ask? in Lancashire? To be fair the staff didn’t argue, the young man took it away and replaced it with a second choice from the menu, a quiche salad that was ‘adequate ‘. We won’t be back.

Nice place to eat, shop or just have a delicious ice cream. Interesting little art gallery. Was surprised to find the plant sale appears to have gone from outside the entrance. In order to eat you are digested through a shop selling lots of interesting things:. Shuts around 4 on a Sunday afternoon.

We decided to meet up here as it was fairly central to where we all live.

We had a great lunch sat by the window with a lovely scenic view of the valley. My parents had the fish and chips which were delicious. I had a special herb crusted plaice which again was delicious. Mum also had the creme brulee which she loved. Dad loved the draft beer. My parents had a lovely day out and they loved looking round the gift shop afterwards. They can't wait to return.

We come here at least once a month! It’s the best place for a big or small meal, and has the best breakfast. I am lactose intolerant and they always have dairy free cakes which is rare even though it is so common these days. They also have vegan and gluten free options so there is something for everyone. The view is amazing no matter what the weather!

I cant recommend this place highly enough. We arrived about 10am on Saturday and it was quite quiet although by the time we left around 11am it was really busy so I am not sure if wait time would increase but for us it was rapid.

Found the place quite easily and that’s more than most people did.

Staying in Clitheroe, we decided to go somewhere a bit different for breakfast and so glad we did. This place is a bit out of the way and the postcode doesn’t quite get you to the right place but keep going down the line it is really worth it. The vegetarian breakfast had chickpea sausages - what a nice change from the normal boring quorn and the normal breakfast was one of the best ever. Both of us really struggled to finish our plates and had to waddle our past the really good gift and farm shop. Really recommended.

Large group of 15 mid20's, post walk near pendle, gentleman at the bar accommodated tables moved for us, nothing was too much hassle, service was quick but not pushy, menu is spectacular, I could have eaten anything on the menu and loved it. Would totally come again. (Posting with the group at the table and we all agree, totally recommended, and would visit again if in the area) Thanks for a wonderful lunch.

First visit to Bashall Barn a cold Friday afternoon in January and we were welcomed by very friendly staff that showed us to our table. We couldn't sit in the big window area and enjoy the lovely view as the area was in use and being prepared for a wedding fair. We ordered the afternoon tea and after a short wait it was served to us. A selection of hand cut sandwiches with locally sourced fillings as well as a little cute cup of piping hot homemade soup. Cakes and scones with cream and jam as you would expect, all products of the Bashall Barn kitchen. Will definitely visit again, probably in the better weather when we can make use of the lovely outdoor seating areas that take in the views.

Superb venue and location Staff were really friendly and helpful Food very good Only negative horrendous smell from the toilets and near the bar and dance floor this really needs addressing as it spoils an otherwise excellent venue

I love this place and have been many times as it is local to me. It is unique in the fact that you can watch the cows through glass windows while you sip your tea or eat an ice-cream. It also has a lovely gift shop that sells local produce. On a nice day you can sit outside and gaze at the spectacular views. The gift shop is a little pricey but definitely worth a visit

We only passed by accident on our way to the dales but were really pleased to find the place. Obviously popular, we had delicious food, friendly staff, pleasant, clean and attractive surroundings, good menu and an interesting shop as well.

Visited with friends for afternoon tea. It was my first visit. A real hidden gem, didn’t even know it was there. Lovely little shop to walk through on your way to the restaurant full of Christmassy things at the moment. Fantastic hampers. Restaurant was beautiful. Lovely fire, very warm and cosy. We were shown to a table next to the window, wow what a view. Staff were lovely and afternoon tea selection was very good, plenty of food and we took some of the cakes home.

Came here for a wedding and the place was beautiful, food was amazing and staff were super lovely! Unfortunately there was an awful smell near the dancefloor which was very strong and putrid, all of us noticed it and commented on it, and i think it came from the kitchen!!! it did not ruin any of the night but that needs to be addressed

From the very first day of booking the venue to the day itself, the team at Bashall could not have been more helpful and professional and at the same time really warm. My wife and I booked Bashall before the Brook room was even completed but Cath showed us the plans and the feel of the venue even then, and her confidence in the fantastic things to come made us feel totally at ease - we knew this was the venue for us. As we moved forward with planning Robyn became our wedding coordinator and she was equally lovely and really clear on any questions we had on the run up to our big day. When the day came the team organising the day's events just made everything run so smoothly, my wife and I didn't have to ask for anything and the day just flowed without issue. The place looks beautiful, the food is great with big portions and the way the staff look after you is all you could ever ask for. We absolutely love Bashall Barn as a result and would recommend it to anyone looking to get married in the Ribble Valley.

The restaurant has changed since last we were here.

Impromptu lunch visit after the local Food Festival was a wash out. Been a while since we last visited as has undergone a renovation in the restaurant/cafe.

We come to bashall barn every Saturday to order breakfast, the place gets very busy which isn’t surprising due to how good the breakfast is!! Staff are always helpful however Adriana is always the most accomodating member and is constantly smiling. A real treat!!

My friend had her wedding here. I cannot find fault at all. Wonderful venue they could not do enough for you. I went in the morning to set up the cake and the staff were really helpful. We had breakfast with the bride and groom the following day and that too was fabulous. Lovely venue in a really Bonny spot.

Beautiful setting for a wedding. Delicious food and attentive staff. Lovely outdoor area and dance floor too.

We were at Bashall Barn for a wedding on the Saturday and it was a brilliant day. The venue is amazing and the way it changes throughout the day into different rooms is a good idea. The food was also very good.

Had a nice afternoon tea here today, was expecting a bit more of a wow favour since it was in the top 10 places to go for afternoon tea in Lancashire! Think it could have been presented in a more inviting way than just on a three tier cake stand.

We've been coming here since it opened. I really miss the view onto the cowshed, that was unique! But, the food and service have never failed. Tasty, well sourced local produce. Great choice and at a very reasonable price. The service was very attentive and polite.

Tried an afternoon tea and it was fantastic, the cake and scones were lovely and there was a lot for 2 to share. A real treat and the ice-cream here is delicious too.

Brilliant breakfast, everything you could wish for. A little expensive, could do with something a little smaller therefore cheaper. Four rashers of bacon, 3 sausages, 3 field mushrooms, beans, tomatoes, 2 fried eggs, black pudding and two toast. Who on earth can eat all that! Im ashamed you guys overwhelmed me, in a good way!

This is perfect place to spend Saturday mornings when you need a great early morning Full English Breakfast for great value for money and great service. All the staff are extremely helpful and always service with a smile.We have been served by several staff but feel there are two exceptional staff members who deserve recognition being Adriana and Patrick. They have gone out of their way to remember our unique order and nothing is too much trouble. We/d just like to say thank you very much. Keep up the good work and good luck for the future. Nicky & Mark.

Been here several times, always good service, good food, nice atmosphere! Cute little shop in the entrance with home made food etc as well as trinkets Worth the visit

I took a family member for lunch here on a recommendation so wasn’t sure what to expect. Total confusion on arrival as there seems to be a cafe area and a restaurant area but neither is clearly signposted or lineated. None of the staff approached us so we headed to the more formal looking area and were seated. A look at the menu left us struggling at it was limited and more evening type meals than lunch items. There was a large salad bar but it wasn’t clear what this came with or was included with. After about 15 minutes of being ignored I went to the drinks bar and placed an order for 2 x salmon fillet. It was slow service but was really quite nice when it came, though not a large potion. We waited around after eating but nobody ever came back so eventually I went and asked to pay at the bar once again. The bill was £30 which is considerably more than i would pay for a light lunch. Perfectly nice food but expensive for what it was and service wasn’t the best. I wouldn’t visit again based on this but appreciate if you understand what’s going on you may fare better as it’s a lovely place with a nice little shop attached selling deli type things and some gifts.

Not really worth making the effort to visit as its too remote really. If you do make it there then do two things.

James was very welcoming and took time to chat to us. Full cooked breakfast used local produce and was excellent value and quality. Farm/gift shop well stocked. Would definately call again when in the area.

We were in Clitheroe and having been a couple of times before and enjoyed it decided to venture out to have coffee and cake. It was fine without being spectacular for the money.Latte was good, wife's tea ok but no milk brought and had to chase for it.a few times. Cake ok but not as good as it used to be. Restaurant was reasonably quiet fror a Sunday afternoon so perhaps that tells a story.

2 of us called at 12.15 for lunch, have been before and enjoyed it. Not today. No welcome or acknowledgement of our presence. Had to ask for menus and were given 1!! No sandwiches or soup on menu but could see others eating them. Asked about this and were told they weren't put on menu!!!! Foo came but no drinks, girl said not her fault and indicated grumpy man behind bar who grudgingly brought them over. This was a huge disappointment and I won't be rushing back - such a shame.

I took my family over for afternoon lunch, I found the food was excellent and the service was attentive and polite. My children loved the ice creams afterwards.

Have known Bashall Barn for many years but recent visits have been increasingly disappointing. Called in on Saturday afternoon, only 5 or 6 occupied tables so easily found a seat in the café but I may as well have been invisible to the 7 members of staff. There were no menus on any of the tables in the main café, so expected a member of staff would bring one over. They leisurely cleared tables, wiped tables, replenished the salad bar, served at the bar, took payments, and chatted between themselves but no one acknowledged me or offered a menu. After ten minutes I made a point of watching and waiting to see how long it would take .......... after twenty minutes I left.

It's not usually for a country cafe/restaurant to have rude staff. We visit many on our travels and although this is a really nice building with lots of gifts, food, arts, the restaurant is a let down.

Went for Afternoon Tea very disappointed not much on there at all! There were 3 triangles of sandwiches each not even a full sandwich each. No meat on sandwiches we had already said didnt want prawns or tuna so we were given salmon, cheese & egg mayo. One slice of pork pie. Cakes were okay but given something sloppy in a cup not nice at all tasted sour. All in all poor value for money. We had a gift voucher glad we hadnt paid for it as i would have complained. What should have been a nice treat for me and my sister turned out to be a real let down.

Went for breakfast, asked if we could sit anywhere and waiter said yes. Found a table for two and waited, and waited, and waited. 6 staff visible and not particularly busy, after 15 minutes still had not been asked if we wanted a drink. Decided at this point to leave. Still not acknowledged by anyone.

My husband and I called at 11.15am, we didnt want breakfast, just a sandwich. The unfriendly man at the counter just said "it is still only breakfast until 12.30".

This is a really nice venue but the restaurant was sadly disappointing.

I visited here with my mum and 19 month daughter for lunch. Whilst food was good (especially the creme brulee), service was shocking. The table next to us, who had arrived after us, got served before us. After we'd eaten we sat for a long time with dirty plates and a toddler wanting to grab everything off of said plates. When we asked someone to clear our table instead of them picking up the plates themselves, they went any asked someone else to do it! We wanted to order desserts but no one offered us dessert menus, we had to ask for them. Then, we had to chase someone to actually take our order. Never has it been so hard to spend our money somewhere. If the food hadn't been as good then this would've been a 1 star review.

Lovely lunch time spent at Bashall Barn. Great food, beer and service in a great location. Good selection to choose from and even catering for gluten free.

Ten family member for lunch the staff were wonderful particularly with the youngsters.

I really liked our visit to Bashall Barn. We went for a midweek lunch and it was a pleasant surprise.

We popped in to the Barn for a spot of lunch and were kept waiting several minutes just to be seated. All of us ordered sandwiches, I had the hot beef which was very tasty with plenty of meat and was served with chips and a bit of salad. When asked what we would like to drink, two of us asked for squash. Considering we were a group of adults, I was very surprised to be handed a childrens drink served in a plastic bottle. Now Im sure a young child would have been fine with this but I expect my drinks to be served in a glass. Im not sure why the staff thought this was acceptable. Anyway, The Barn certainly isnt cheap, but the rest of the menu looked tempting so I will probably pay another visit. Just dont order the squash unless you are a child lol

Popped in today mid morning for a coffee but couldn't resist a scone as I've had them many times before and they are just the best. Straight out of the oven today too!! Lovely relaxing place and a nice shop to browse in on the way out. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Lovely staff too :)

Hubby and I went and we both had the tuna melt - we both loved it and it was delicious!!!

A lovely restful lunch. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will be coming again soon. Menu had plenty of choice, especially for me with my allergies

Oh My..! Utterly wonderful. I'd booked this as a surprise for my partner, he was very impressed. Everything was hand-made & utterly delicious. The milkshakes were the best I've tasted. Would I recommend - definitely, would I visit again - without a doubt!

Food menu is basic, the same we could say about quality. Lots of badly trained kids serving people. Even the manager was cutting the bread touching it with her hands not covering with the soviet. Touching money and dirty plates prior to it. The same at ice cream parlour. Cornet was passed without napkin. Please do hire people who knows basic hygiene and if you have chosen to employ kids- train them appropriately. Was looking forward to visit, it was disappointing.

Visited with husband on a Monday afternoon. The farm shop has some interesting produce and is not as overpriced as some can be. We bought some of their handmade chocolates which were delicious especially the mango caramel.

The service was impeccable, and the staff were super quick and friendly. Was a little expensive but very good.

It's been a couple of years since eating here. There were a few changes most noticeably there is no longer a viewing window into the animal stalls. The food still represented great value at around £14 for 2 courses. The place was very quiet with only 3-4 tables occupied whilst we had lunch. Decent quality food do it was a shame it wasn't so busy.

My wife and I thought we would have a healthy Friday lunch out at one of Lancashire's top eateries While the fix price lunch offer great value for money this restaurant also offers a fantastic salad bar with a dedicated section on the main menu.My wife had the roast beef salad £10.95 and I had the hot steak salad at £13.95 a small salad and bread comes with the dishes and you have also the choice of the extensive range on the salad bar and you cannot be disappointed with the effort taken to tempt people away from chips and veg option Highly recommended If you want a change from the normal Friday lunch and want a healthy option then try out this offering I always Ind the staff polite and obliging in the efforts to look after us and intend to support this business on a regular basis

Stunning location and beautiful, well designed place...However, with such a wealth of fantastic places to eat in the area, Bashall Barn cannot rely on the breathtaking views to encourage locals to return. Service was absolutely shoddy - there appeared to be very little organisation and we had to repeatedly ask for service. Food was disappointing - 'fresh' soup tasted distinctly tinned and was exceptionally overpriced. This place could so easily be so great with better management.

My daughter and son in law booked Bashall Barn for their wedding and what a venue!! The views are stunning, the venue is beautifully decorated, the food is faultless and the staff are wonderful! There isn't o e thing I could say wrong, the whole place is spotless - apart from the cow shed, but the cows are happy and to be to honest even here was clean The whole day was amazing and a lot if that was due to the team at Bashall Barn, so from one very happy mum THANKYOU

Beautiful setting - if you can get a window seat the view is stunning. The menu is varied and seasonal and has gluten free options marked on the menu and the chef is great at adapting dishes to suit someone with allergies. The chocolate cake - gluten free - is simply amazing! Great for coffee and cake or lunch!

Have visited the Farm Shop on numerous occasions, but, never eaten here, so decided to give it a try. We were seated without a problem and menus handed to us. Decent choice, but we did note that the prices were a little 'high'. I opted for the Tuna/cheese/onion melt which came with a small portion of 'triple cooked chips' and a small side salad. Sandwich was average and the chips simply tasted of frozen chips. Paid £8.95. My husband had the Rag pudding with again the said 'triple cooked chips'. Said it was a bit heavy and from what I could see was a bit mean with the mince meat. Small portion of chips and a ramekin of mushy peas. Think it was £11.95. Staff were attentive , but, I don't like people 'hovering' every time I set my fork down to take a little 'break '. Will we return.... I doubt it.

We arrived at 2pm on Sunday, without a booking, but the lady on the front desk managed to sqeeze us in. Good service, wonderful salad barrow and lovely food. We will be back!

We were hoping for afternoon tea, but hadn't realised we needed to have pre booked. The restaurant manager told us they couldn't accommodate us due to not having pre booked, explaining they do 50 to 100 afternoon teas a week. At this point we expected him to extol the virtues of all the alternative menu choices available, and if he had welcomed us in this way we would have stayed and ordered a savoury snack followed by a sweet treat. Neither the restaurant or cafe were exceptionally busy so there was no excuse for his total disinterest.End result - we left to give our custom elsewhere - the afternoon tea at Boundary Mill is consistently wonderful, good value, imaginative, and served by friendly welcoming staff!
