Bonny Inn in Ribble Valley

Looking for a dog friendly pub for a quick weekend lunch we picked here as we’d been before our four legged friend came along. Nice place with warm staff who seemed to work as a real team. On the food front B had Beef, GF had a couple of starters (can’t remember them) and I had a lovely tender steak pie with greens and chips. Baby pooch had an urge to bark a little and false alarm needs to go outside. Really nice place, people and food and we will come back if they’ll have us!

We have visited this venue before and it was quite good.This time was excellent. Pate starter was very nice with quality thick bread.The banofee desert was exceptional. Service was good..All in all I couldn't find anything to have a moan about !!

We booked & that was probably prudent! 1pm Saturday, pleasantly busy! All staff really welcoming & attentive! Good range of drinks alcoholic & otherwise. Great choice on menu & specials, kids menu well received. Everyone happy! Shared a starter. F, C & mps excellent. 2 scoops of ice cream with decent range of choices not the usual bland v, s, choc! Fair pricing! 12 dishes between us & 2 drinks each? £135. We'd go again - recommended!

Are local pub with is excellent , we really enjoyed it every time we visit

Went on Friday night for the first time in a very long time. The place was busy with diners and drinkers with a nice atmosphere. The food and service was very good. We won’t be leaving it as long before we return!

Absolutely beautiful staff and food especially a man called Stanley kept us entertained although he didn't know we'll definitely be back thank you and thanks to Stanley

Nice place to go for a drink but not for a meal. Had chicken Kiev but it was tough. Got a sore finger trying to cut it. When asked if everything was ok I told her the chicken was tough. She said she would tell the Chef which then she never came back. They still charged full price and when we was leaving she looked the other way. Will not be going back.

Highly recommend The Bonny Inn. We had a delicious breakfast on Bank Holiday Monday. Service was lovely, food was served quickly and was delicious.

Staff were lovely, attentive and very accommodating. The locals were super friendly too! Didn’t have any food, but the Sunday roasts that were coming out looked lovely! The decor was gorgeous, had lots of drinks to choose from and they’re also dog friendly!

Great setting, very friendly staff.

I wish all pub food was this good. Really paying attention to the details. Best mushy peas I’ve ever had for example. We’ve all enjoyed our food and prices aren’t crazy. Will defo come again

Went yesterday for first time, food was lovely, and service great. Plus sat outside and an amazing view. Plus very reasonable prices . Would highly recommend.

Haven’t been here for a few years so thought we’d try it again. Lovely spacious interior with fab views. We were shown to our table straight away and asked if we wanted drinks. They came soon after and we ordered. Although I enjoyed my meal, it was disappointing to have ordered Chicken Kiev which didn’t have any garlic butter in it at all. There was no Garlic Butter in sight. Basically it was just a chicken breast fillet in breadcrumbs. The dessert menu didn’t have a lot of choice and all seemed to include Ice Cream, no custard for the Sticky Toffee Pudding. The staff never asked if everything was ok and seemed to be in a hurry to take our plates away no sooner had we put our cutlery down, felt a bit like they didn’t want us hanging around. We would return but just a few tweaks needed.

First class dinning experience complimented with excellent food and service.

We were passing through and decided to stop here for a meal on our travels. The place is clearly very popular and we were lucky to get a seat without booking ahead. Set in stunning surroundings this is a very pleasant pub serving superb food. Next time we are up that way we will definitely look in again. Pre-booking is advised.

Great place for a beer or two plus the food is very good.

Had the mixed grill. Was excellent.

Never anything short of excellent in my opinion.. Great staff, great food, great views and the beers OK too! What's not to like. And Molly is ALWAYS welcome. 😍

Just had a lovely Sunday lunch here the beef was so nice and the Yorkshire puddings great.Good value will definitely come here again .Stunning views from beer garden. Staff very helpful and polite ..

as ever The Bonny inn provided a fine evening out with good food and a welcoming environment. it is our local and we are lucky to have such a great one. the views are amazing and in colder weather the fire is warming

Visited The Bonny Inn today with my mum for our weekly girls day out! My mums a pescatorian and we really struggle most of the time to find menus that provide a variety of choice for her and today we found the perfect menus! There is soo much choice including a seperate vegan menu, we could not decide as it all sounded amazing. Opted for the fish platter and spicy loaded fries for mum and I chose the Chicken Kiev and wow it was fantastic, lots of flavour and nice large portions. We ended with the limoncello sorbet, which came with a shot of limoncello on the side! Honestly cannot recommend this enough. 🥰 Staff were great, friendly, attentive and clearly very well trained. The surroundings and scenery are beautiful and the restaurant is so clean and tidy. Oncce the rain passed we managed to sit in the garden looking over the Ribby Valley with a final drink before we headed home. We will most definitely return to this beautiful, delicious establishment! Well done Bonny Inn and thank you for taking care of us. 🥰

Absolutely love this place. The staff, all go the extra mile for you. The food is outstanding, never had anything that didn't come out piping hot. It was soo busy when we were there but we didn't have to wait long for our order. Everything was excellent.

The Bonny Inn were incredibly kind to my parents when my Dad was at home ill. Salesbury is a great village with some wonderful people - The Bonny Inn is the heart of this. Thank you Mark for your kindness

Food was fantastic but had to keep asking can we order another drink no one came to see if we wanted a refill then we had to go find a member off staff to order desert young girl came very rude 😑 said what do you want sorry you dont speak to people like that. it was very quite so dont no why they kept forgetting us we did leave a tip but wont go back

Excellent service. Friendly staff. lovely interior , conservatory has beautiful view of ribble valley food topnotch

A really nice welcome from front of house. We hadn't booked but it wasn't a problem. Staff were efficient and attentive. Food was tasty and well presented. Decor is lovely and we hadn't been here for at least ten years. Will visit again.

Another absolutely fantastic visit to The Bonny Inn. It's my birthday weekend, and so I wanted a 'treat yourself' meal out. The food and service at the Bonny were absolutely top notch. Bonus of a singer on as well which I hadn't seen in advance, and he was brilliant too! I highly recommend the steak and always, always have the Chocolate Bar if it's on the menu. Simply heavenly!

We enjoyed a lovely 2 course meal on a week night. We were served really quickly, staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was delicious, no room for a pudding unfortunately!

Excellent service and staff 👏 great food.

Always a great meal with excellent service. 👌

Been here 3 times in the last 3 months & every time has been brilliant. Excellent efficient service, lovely friendly staff & delicious food at reasonable prices, had something different each time for starter, main & dessert & all been equally as tasty-will be returning again soon.

Went to the Bonny Inn today I had a security dog with me and my friend with her young puppy I was worried about spacing and where we would be seated as my dog doesn’t tend to like strangers too much however we were seated at a lovely spacious table the staff were absolutely brilliant and the pub was very dog friendly. The food was amazing we stayed for the full three courses which we also didn’t intend to do. Thank you guys for your service we’ll definitely be coming back

Had the Sunday roast , which was lovely. Had a fabulous bottle of Shiraz. Service was great.

Lovely pub and fab food,only issue was the noise as its a bar / dining area all in 1.Having to shout to be heard but not a show stopper.

Pleasant surroundings and lovely views

Part of our “walking” route I had driven past here previously and thought worth popping in some time despite knowing nothing about it. Really pleasantly surprised by the modern fresh finish and decent choice of drinks. We also (having burnt barely 1000 calories between 3 of us) needed a snack before our Thai feast back home. So we shared prawn toast (bit disappointing), ham and cheese croquettes (popular), honey and mustard chipolatas (nice) and fries. Plenty of staff and all fine enough. Will come back for drinks and probably a meal (might not walk!).

Lovely pleas very welcoming friendly staff and food was fantastic and very good value.plenty of on site parking.

We visited the pub/restaurant tonight, On entering there was a vibrant atmosphere, very tastefully decorated and obviously spotlessly clean, we were soon escorted to our pre booked table, our drinks and food were delivered by well organised smart staff. Our food was delicious starters , main and sweet were too die for, ( sticky toffee pudding ooohhh lovely) ,

Went on a busy Wednesday evening! The atmosphere was electric but there was a nice little spot for us.. I shared the sesame toast and goats cheese bon bons which were delicious. I had the beef, ale and mushroom pot pie which was huge but delicious! Due to just having a puff pastry lid it was perfect! And the beef melted in the mouth. The honey roasted carrots and parsnips were also wonderful & the extra gravy! For dessert, I couldn’t resist the pistachio creme brûlée and it exceeded expectations! Possibly one of the best I’ve ever had. The flavour was out of this world and paired deliciously with the triple chocolate ice cream ♥️ The staff were fantastic, thank you for an evening to remember!

Went today for my partners birthday we pre ordered a buffet for 15 people. It was amazing. Well worth considering for a small get together.

We called in for a drink on our Way home the decor was very nice and the and was spotless the staff were friendly and polite and the food I saw coming out looked really tasty

Just a beer., fine but expensive .

A friend and I found this amazing place on trip advisor, and we are SO happy that we paid a visit. We loved everything, the decor, ambiance, helpful staff and totally fantastic food! I started with a duck, chorizo and smoked bacon salad which featured a gorgeous balsamic dressing…..the portion was generous and this was also available as a main course too….I would definitely recommend this dish! My friend had the pepper pot mushrooms to start…..a dish that was positively bursting with flavour and served with a fresh baguette. My main course was the belly pork which was marinated in cider, served on a bed of mashed potato and words are inadequate to describe this sublime creation, I think it may have been a special as I have looked on the website since and can’t see it on the menu? My friend had a beautiful sirloin steak cooked to perfection and with excellent flavour. For dessert I had “plain” vanilla ice cream that was creamy and delicious and my friend ordered the sticky toffee pudding, a warm sticky date sponge with toffee sauce & vanilla ice cream absolutely delicious was the verdict! All in all a lovely evening that will be repeated as soon as possible, I thoroughly recommend a visit.

Rang earlier in the evening of the same day to book a table. The waitress was helpful in reserving the table and double checked whether there were any children included in the booking. When arriving, we were seated straight away and our drinks order was taken straight away. The arrived swiftly and were of great quality. We then ordered our meals which again arrived in good time. We had the fish cake, a small duck salad and a bacon chop - all of which were delicious! Do not take the salad off the menu! We asked for the bill and card machine when finished and cleared which again came quickly. Service was great. Food was delicious. Atmosphere was busy and on point. We will definitely be returning and recommending to friends. Many thanks.

We stopped at the Bonny Inn to break our journey from Yorkshire to the Midlands. What a lovely pub. Dog friendly, menu was catering for all diets and left taste buds tingling. Gnocchi were beautifully prepared, very tasty as was the duck salad. Portions are plentiful, you will be leaving stuffed and happy. Would definitely recommend.

Great food, service was good but slow. However, we were in no rush, so we enjoyed a leisurely meal. Really great vegan menu.

A friendly, good looking place with great food and good service.

We were actually supposed to stop elsewhere on our journey back from Yorkshire to Shropshire, but the other place was really busy. Their loss, but our gain by finding this gem of a place. On arrival the staff were extremely pleasant and friendly. Taking our drinks order they also got a bowl of water for our dog who typically drank it all in one go as if there was never going to be any water again. Not rushing us at all they came and took our food order and we continued to enjoy the atmosphere and admired the decor of the place - where we sat there was definitely a cycling theme going on but the whole place looked really tasteful throughout. Our food arrived and it was amazing. I went for the duck, chorizo salad with a side order of skinny fries (half went to the dog!). My wife had the gnocchi and she loved it. Not being too filling we left room for dessert with myself having the Eton mess and why wife having the lemon posset. Both were amazing and being light they didn’t leave us feeling uncomfortable. I finished with an americano coffee which was very pleasant and just finished everything off perfectly. Whilst not somewhere we would just be able to “pop into” as it is not local to us, it is certainly a place we will happily incorporate into our journey when we are next heading in that direction. Very highly recommended.

Food very bland and we couldn't eat the food for the amount of flies in restaurant

Food was cooked well but average quality. The roast patatos could have been more moist ad they where very dry. Overall 6/10 would recommend to try the food but for the price should be better quality. The views are stunning

The food was quite good as pub food goes but 2 waiters both mentioned no steak pies left when they meant a steak pudding...my partner ordered leek & potato soup and ended up with some kind of pea soup !!!! They didn't have what was asked for so knocked it off the bill & apologised.. fair enough but they need better organisation....would we return ?? Probably

Lovely place to visit for food 🍲 and drink, lots of space for dining, and plenty of outdoor seating as well. Invalid parking spaces outfront is a bonus, as we had my brother in law with us. The larmas they have outback where a bit different, but nice.

Four of us for afternoon sunday dinner and starters,Ordered our starters which the pate was poor 4 tiny pieces of bread small pot of pate, roast beef dinner then had to wait 20 minutes for veg to come didn't get what everyone else was getting it wasn't even busy, very disappointing wont be back

Very pleasantly surprised by the extensive menu for lunchtime. Seemed very busy which proves that this establishment is very popular. The food very well presented and certainly will be making another visit soon.

Food was good, however paying £2 for a small used bottle filled with tap water is a RIP Off. Never again.....

My eldest & me visited this eve for a treat while the rest of our clan are abroad! The place is clean & modern & welcoming. We were seated at our table straight away, and our drinks were served promptly. My lass ordered the black pudding starter, looked amazing, but the muffin was very soggy, especially when the poached egg added to the mix. I had the tempura prawns, they were lovely & crispy & the sweet chilli sauce was delicious! We both had roast beef, and was presented well with homemade Yorkshire pudding & plenty of gravy (usually find in other establishments the gravy is skimped on), a massive dish of veg arrived to share too! The beef was plentiful & cooked perfectly. We were too stuffed for a dessert. The waiting staff were friendly & we didn't have to wait ages without being rushed. With the food, 3 glasses of vino & a coke, the bill came to £74, which was reasonable. Thank you, we will visit again 👍

Fantastic place to visit, Superb food. Absoloutly first class friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble, always made to feel welcome. Looking forward to the next visit

My wife got a roast and the vegetables were hard like it wasn't cooked properly, she was struggling to cut them with her knife. I had the bony burger with chips that was really nice. Service was slow and it wasn't that busy they had loads of staff on too. Not a place I would rush back to in a hurry.

Wonderful friendly local pub whose food and selection of ales is top notch . Staff and owners are very friendly, would highly recommend.

Amazing food, amazing service, perfect all round. Love this place! The view out the back is stunning, all staff and owners are so lovely and helpful! Definitely recommend ❤️

The pains in my stomach after eating here are something ive never experienced in all of my years. My poor toilet is ruined. The veg was ruthless in its entirety and must have been stored for well over 6months. The meat was more like vermin collected from the street. Worst place i have been in my life. Why open the doors to serve that?

From entering & the staff being so friendly & welcoming, we knew it was a good venue. We decided to get a menu, & as the weather was lovely we sat outside. There is a beautiful view from the back & you can see the llamas as well. I asked if there was a gluten free menu & it was such a good variety of choices. I had Battered Fish and Chips as you don't get that option in many places for gluten free, my husband had a burger, he isnt gluten free. The food was lovely and very filling, we did manage to squeeze in desert as well though & that was good too. I would recommend the venue itself, the staff & the food all of which were brilliant. Would definitely go again when in the area.

Worst pub ive ever ate in food cold, flies all around pub, toilets are an absolute disgrace had to hold my breath. As for staff girls seem ok owner is rude, head too shiny would not recommend avoid at all costs.

Just had a amazing lunch and drinks as with my Hubby. Staff are friendly and helpful nothing is too much trouble. Owners are lovely and cant do enough for you. Place is spotless, Food delicious as always cooked fresh to order. Never had a bad meal or experience can not wait to return soon. Thank You ❤️

Great steak sandwich and drinks, with the extra attention taken to the sauces and accompaniments only adding the experience. Friendly and professional staff in a lovely scenic location.

This just happened 10 min ago,I went inside as the door was open,nobody inside,i said hello about 3 times,I waited a few minutes and I went to the loo,as I was on the wc somebody knocked very hard at the door shouting at me to get out,was a very aggressive man shouting at me asking if my car is in car park never gave me a chance to explain the situation, I'm still shaking as he was very aggressive towards me

Staff are horrible..never again here

Very dog friendly and helpful owners

Excellent food and nice scenic views

The food was fabulous!! Great vegan and vegetarian options

Beautiful , situated in an elevated position enjoying excellent countryside views. Premises were immaculate, staff were very helpful and polite..food was outstanding..will definitely revisit..love the place

Friendly staff, good menu, always enjoy visiting.

Visited midweek. Good menu choice, great tasting food and good service. Hot cross bun and butter pudding was amazing. We really enjoyed our meal here and will be back.

Great food and drink and great staff, dog friendly which is always a bonus for us. Keep doing what you do

Booked in at last minute but managed to get a table for 2 Full menu & specials also We chose the fish and chips and the roast beef dinner Both meals were beautifully cooked and we had 2 clean plates It would have been rude not to look at the pudding menu ! And yes we succumbed to one each: The banoffee pot with vanilla icecream, & this was like heaven in a dish. The vanilla ice cream was delicious The passion fruit cheesecake was lovely and came with some ice cream with a chopped fruit mix also and it was really nice Luckily only a 25 second drove home ! Other wise we would have had to roll home ! Highly Recommend

Highly recommend. Gorgeous food plenty of choice and lovely wines. Fantastic location

After doing the Tolkien trail 10 mins away we thought we’d call to see if they could fit 7 of us in. Luckily for us it they could. From the moment we walked in (a little muddy) we were made to feel so welcome & they loved our old boxer dog. The decor was lovely & we were concerned we were well underdressed but we didn’t have to worry, no one cared. We were served drinks quickly & taken to our table. The food was lovely & resulted in 7 empty places. 5 of our party even went for deserts, another 5 empty plates. They brought our dog a dog bed & a bowl of water. We all loved the place & will definitely be back.

Top notch food. Served very well and quick. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Surprisingly wasn't as expensive I assumed it would be. Lovely food. Overall had a great time. Return is a must

Very welcoming, fab food, amazing staff, loved it, great girly night,

It had been years since I last visited the Bonny Inn so my recent visit was almost overwhelming. What a transformation! The food, the service, the staff and the overall experience were fantastic. I'll be going again very soon. There's something on the menu for everyone. I'd go as far as to say it was the best meal I'd ever had out.

Absolutely perfect evening spent with family and bumped into some old dear friends,the food and service was second to none,would recommend this establishment 100%,will definitely be visiting again very soon,

We arrived at the Bonny Inn after booking a table online and there were signs saying no food on a Tuesday- oops - but they were open because it was Valentines Day. Yay. They had a fancy Valentines Specials Menu which looked incredible and also the usual a la Carte menu was available. I thought it was great they offered both when they’re not usually open for food on this day. The staff were fabulous serving us. Very friendly, attentive. Noticed I put my coat back on and offered to sit us closer to the fire. We didn’t need to but it was very thoughtful. They made me a strawberry mocktail that wasn’t on the menu. We really enjoyed our food. It’s a lovely environment. Accessible tables and toilets with a great view behind the venue. Music playlist was curated for Valentines Day too. Special touches like this really make a day special. They even added a heart to the top of my mocha. The dessert menu looked insane unfortunately we had no more room. Would definitely go back here.

Been lots of times always good food and friendly staff

Great atmosphere, good staff , excellent quality of food, been a few times and never disappointed.

Friendly place. Very helpful staff. Comprehensive menu.

The staff were very helpful on arrival by holding the door open as some of our party had mobility issues. Very welcoming. Busy pub but staff very efficient without rushing guests to choose food or drink. Excellent food. Good sized portions. Had salmon and prawn cocktail. Duck chorizo salad and goats cheese parcel. Mains were beef and mushrooms pot pie and thai salmon salad. Very tasty. Also happy to pack up where the portions were big and one of the party was unable to eat all the meal. Will be back. Passed the front door many times. This is the first time we have been here. Excellent experience.

Nice restaurant good food friendly staff only let down was slow service

Lovely family dinner out . The bonny Inn has a nice,cosy,village pub feel to it .All the staff were very welcoming . The dining area is nicely presented and decorated. Our food was excellent as was our table service. All in all ,a very enjoyable...

The nicest ale I've had since before the first lockdown (Bonny Ale). The food and service couldn't have been better, all at a reasonable price. The only negative was that it was initially cold. The heating only seemed to have been turned on as it opened. If it was on an hour earlier it would have made all the difference. Can't wait for an excuse to go back.

Excellent fish and chips. However, we were shocked to be charged £6 .75 for a small white wine. Sadly, would not buy alcohol there if we visited next time. Lovely young staff. Thankyou for your service.

Passed this pub so many times but always in work hours and not able to call in. So eventually on a Saturday we called in. Nice and clean, lovely wood burner keeping the place warm. Great sandwiches and a good few ale choices..

Absolutely excellent , well worth the effort to visit , we had the fish and chips x2 plus the southern fried chicken tenders and chips, I can honestly say it was the best fish and chips I’ve ever eaten out couldn’t fault it , my...

A lovely homely relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and good food, Live 5 mins away and had never tried, now I'll definitely be back

We came for a meal Monday and the food was amazing, we really enjoyed every mouthful and the service was excellent the staff are lovely. Thank you

Lovely food and great views and service

Great small pub friendly staff. Stopped by on my 8 mile walk for a peroni or 2 😊

Fabulous meal with friends. Great menu with brilliant vegan offering and the food we had was amazing. Owners could not have been more lovely, plus added alpacas!

Booked a table for 10 = double 80th birthday celebration We had a lovely private table and staff were very attentative. Food was excellent, I have a food allergy _ perfectly dealt with without any fuss The cake we had made was decorated by sraff...

Read rave reviews for this place and booked for my 60th birthday.Unfortunately the menu was very basic , uninspiring, overpriced and disappointing .The kitchen was obviously struggling to cope with a busy night Table needed wiping down from the previous guests-I had to ask for this.Our 2 course meal took 2 hours.We rarely go out and wished we hadn’t bothered and spent the money on a good bottle of bubbly and cooked a better meal myself A miserable birthday .

Very good selection of meals, served by very friendly and helpful staff. If your lucky enough to sit in the conservatory or better still have the weather to sit outside you have a wonderful view of the surrounding area which makes a visit to the Bonny Inn well worth a trip and a memorable one. One of the best places we have certainly visited and cant wait to visit again.
