Bite 2 Eat in Ribble Valley

Went here for a funeral recently and all OK, atmosphere seemed fine, but got to admit, having to sort putting your car information in due to car park isn't the best thing to do when you've just arrived back from a funeral. This may be due to a private company owning the car park, but as a small village it seemed a little out of the ordinary when street offer 2 hours.

Great place with a huge and very good range if beer

Reasonably priced. Very friendly staff and good device. Good comfortable surroundings. Best beef sandwich for miles. Large portions.

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.

When are they going to get enough staff; trained staff, to actually take orders from people waiting at the tables? The last couple of times I have been in, the service has been awful. I walked out today. There is a limit to how long you can sit waiting for someone to take your order. It has been very erratic in the past few years. Turnover if staff is horrendous amd there seems to be no common sense anymore.
