Bowland Beer Hall in Ribble Valley

Food was spot on,However there was one singular waitres that ruined it , with her outstanding rudeness. She was blunt, no manners , didn’t say thank you once, was very miserable. I mean cheer up , even if it’s bad day can’t take out on the customers.

Came Sunday afternoon for lunch about 1:30 Asked to move seats as the high stools are uncomfortable. No problems. Place was not busy. Ordered food and one of waitress started painting boards behind us do we had the smell of paint and it wasn't exactly professional while serving food around. 3 meals came and 10 min wait for one meal. Food was below average which for the price. Won't be returning

We used to love this place however its massively gone down hill. We tried it the Tuesday night and Wednesday night thinking that we caught them on a bad night- in reality it's just not that nice anymore. Staff pretend you're invisible and spend more time chatting with their peers, the food was a major let down, we didn't even finish it it was that bad. I had a very upset stomach from coming here and spent most of my night feeling unwell and eventually being sick. I would not recommend this place, it used to be lovely and we'd always wanted to come back but I think we will give it a miss for a while, which is a shame really.

We had not intended to eat here we stopped for a drink and sat outside had a paddle of the taster beers £6 which was great to try the different ones. We saw the food coming out and decided to eat there as it looked great. The waitress found us a lovely quiet table in a side room. We had Nachos absolutely delicious, chicken wings and chilli chips between two. Big portions do couldn't finish it all. Great value food plus drinks £37 for 2

The food was great overall, the chicken wings weren’t the best i’ve had but definitely not the worst. However, the service made up for it - a really polite young blonde girl called lily made our night, will love revisiting.

Great bar staff very genuine and friendly Ordered nibbles was recommend by the bar staff Unfortunately dat at table near kitchen entrance 🤢 Chips I. Silver bowl kitchen Porter and other staff eating from with bare fingers 🤢 Didn’t want to ruin everyone’s evening said nothing but I didn’t touch the food Great food everyone enjoyed other than what I saw 🤢🤢🤢🤢

Tbh the staff in here are so inconsistent. There has been times they have been good. But other times it feels like you are an inconvenience. But the Sunday I’ve been in just very disappointing. Lots of people all working wandering about doing very little. I asked to sit somewhere didn’t feel the girl was very accommodating nor happy. Then was a hassle asking another girl for a menu as wasn’t any on the table. Then no one bothered to come to ask what I wanted just walked back and forth. Thought I was invisible. So I asked another girl can someone serve me. Again not the best attitude as if it was such a hassle to her I asked. Anyway she goes behind the bar not sure she said to anyone and 10 mins later I’m still sitting here and no one has bothered to ask. So in total about 20 mins and no drinks no food as no one asked. It’s actually very embarrassing and I walked out and will just go to the emporium across the road. Just disrespectful and very poor standards especially as so many staff and not too busy. In this day and age maybe they just need to show some respect and be a bit more cheery and accommodating. Doesn’t cost much.

We booked for 12 for refreshments after a family funeral. From very first contact we received excellent communication to discuss our needs and were given options. The Manager and staff were welcoming and sensitive and gave a high level of service. We were served delicious food in the Chimney Room on 3 rd October 2024.

We met a group of friends here to celebrate a birthday. Lovely evening so we sat outside enjoying beer in the sun. Fun , relaxed atmosphere . So many beers to choose from and all great! Lovely ciders too. We ate inside and I loved looking round at all the old machinery. Food was good. Desserts were delicious. The hall is atmospheric. Service was fine. Ended our night enjoying a few more drinks outside. Super evening.

A group of us met up here the night before a family wedding. The amount of beers available was fantastic, this included gluten free options as three of us are coeliacs. Tables had been pre booked as we were having food too. The food my wife and I had was excellent, great portions and a very reasonable price too. Would I recommend visiting here? Definitely.
