Bowland Brewery in Ribble Valley

What a great pub in a lovely social area. very impressed

Interesting a quirky venue. Only stopped by for a pint, which was a Bowland ale. Very good beer and atmosphere

Great place to visit - if you can get a seat! Very busy and great atmosphere.

A fantastic amount of choice of real ales not a great choice of food had the pie and chips didn't really make much of it for the price nothing special no better than a holands or puka pie but that's just our opinion🥧🥧🥧

Had brunch with friends from Bolton. Had the steak Canadian the chips were like from McDonald's and the steak was full of fat and un edible . Poor fit the money 💰

We always enjoy our visits to Bowland. Excellent beer and service, the place is also set up very well for disabled access.

Amazing place. Quirky. Roomy...good atmosphere.

Lovely food 😋 Good service in this vibrant brewery

Great place this .... huge bar ..... amazing choice of beers .... changing all the time .... if you like to try new beers then this place is a must visit ...

Great atmosphere on a Saturday night! We had a table booked for food, the food was delicious and brilliant beer as usual in this bar.

Good choice of beers. Interesting building.

Lovely, big bar with a huge range of cask and craft beers, including multiple guest beers s well as their own range. Set in an old mill with every inch of bit of its original features being used to the max.

Went here for a drink after some food. Very nice indeed, very spacious and comfortable.

Had the Lancashire Hotpot with red cabbage. Very tasty! I would highly recommend. Their winter menu is much better than the summer one in my opinion. But the beers are excellent all year round!

We went there for a lads night out. High quality beer, only had a chance to try a few couldn't try all in one go. Beer really well kept and nice. Food was amazing and well priced 😋 arrived quick and staff looked after us all night. If you want to eat reserve a table!

Really enjoyed the food and beer. You get a really large helping of food. Well worth a visit.

Large selection of real ales in a converted mill, keeping the original features all round, with a view of the brewery. Good food menu. Many different seating areas.

Been here on various occasions for casual drinks as well as bongo bingo. Good atmosphere, quirky building, good location. Everyman cinema next door

There's a great range of beers, and food's good. Can get busy, but worth it. Recommended. S

Top beers establishment ✔️😉👍great range of guest ales changed weekly. Some cheap drink it dry days early in the week.

Absolutely attrocious service and mediocre pub food. How can, so many people walk past such a large group of people at a table without wondering why we are not eating. Food when it came , came in drips, so my food was cold by the time everyone on the table was served. Food average. . Offered a round of drinks or 15% discount for the inconvenience. Frankly, quite derisory. I won't be coning back, and suggest you avoid dissappointing your family by bringing them here

Visited with work colleagues and a supplier. Food was utterly delicious and a great size portion - I had fish & chips. I thought the service was brilliant and the mill location stunning. Can't wait to go again, bringing family with me this time! Recently went somewhere similar and had fish & chips - it was more expensive and nowhere near as good!

This was a works outing for Christmas. The atmosphere was quite relaxed but bar staff were well versed in all the available beers. The food was excellent and portions large. The hall has a distinctly rustic feel but is very welcoming. We had a good night!

Very busy staff coping well. Had to wait for food but it was worth it. Great choice of drinks/ beers. Friendly attentive staff knowledgeable about their products. Great place for families and a meet up place for friends/relatives. Various options within the wider complex

Large beer hall and eating tables in an old industrial complex. Good atmosphere, with some of the old machinery left over from days gone by. Food middling, beer fine. We had chilli brisket beef, but to be honest the main ingredient was onion. It was more like a veggie chilli, but it was ok.

Fantastic bar, very big and lively, a must visit for clitheroe.

I went Bowland Beer Hall with my parents after watching a film at the Everyman Cinema on Wednesday 1st November, from the moment we got a table to going home was exceptional, the service was superb. it is set in an historic old mill it is spacious, accessible for large wheelchairs and the friendliness was beyond believe, we all ordered the steak pie and 3 tasting beer trays, which the meal and the beer was incredible, very smooth and drinkable, i would highly recommend it to anyone, for casual, couples, catching up with friends, families, dog walkers. it is really accessible with a disabled toilet on the ground ground, it has a lift for disabled people to access upstairs for private functions. The staff were accommodating especially Simon and James, and also Pete the lovely barman. Definitely will go back without doubt we can't wait!

Food tastes fantastic and drinks were served quickly. Table service for food was fantastic, Tracey was incredibly kind and patient. Service in the lounge bar next door was not on the same level. One guy was very sharp with one of our group and bar staff seemed very inexperienced.

Good sized portions and well polished rustic ambiance

Very pleasant visit staff friendly and helpful food spot on!

Every member of staff was totally professional and certainly appeared to love the job that they did. Most impressed.

Great selection of beers plus £15 for a burger and a pint in a real bargain.

So much beer in one place - what more could you want. Excellent value, brilliant atmosphere and the half price beers on Mondays and Tuesdays is a bonus. Fantastic to see it so busy on a Monday afternoon

Great beer and food, friendly and helpful staff.

Basic food. Decent beer and a great location

Like it here. Good bar and friendly staff. Nice selection of beers + spirits. Never eaten but does look good.

We were recommended to visit by Nettletons jewelers and it didn't disappoint at all We found a close by car parking spot making for an easy walk to the beer hall. We were served quickly and efficiently and on-site brewed lager is to die for! Food order was quickly taken and the food when it arrived was mountainous. No half measures there chef! Old mill atmosphere works well and we'd probably visit again next time we're in Clitheroe.

The place was almost empty being a Wednesday, the choice of beers was unbelievable, what we had didn't come up to scratch

Great venue for drinks with a good food menus too. Pub/ microbrewery food eg burgers / chilli etc but done well. Very good staff

Great choice on menu, delicious food and large selection of drinks.

Huge selection of beers across the 42 taps. Beer from their own brewery plus other local brews and craft beers from further afield. When we went there was a promotion and many beers were half price. Two flights only cost £10.50! You can also take beer from the brewery and enjoy with good from the food hall.

The beer hall is steeped in great cotton history. They have done a fantastic job in keeping its history. The beer we had unfortunately wasn't up to a good standard but will revisiting soon to try more

This is such a lovely place to have a drink but, sadley, the food isn't the best. The Caeser salad came with Anchovies; I have never know a C. salad come with anchovies. The staff were nice enough to change it without hesitation but even then the new salad was not the best. We both had Philly Steak burger. The steak was lovely but it was smoothered in a liquid cheese, that wasn't the nicest and it made the bun so soggy it was inedible. So a lovely setting, lovely staff but food leaves alot to be desired.

This is a destination brewery tap and a Clitheroe must visit. Large former mill conversion for an all round experience. Leave your grateful other half in the beer hall with 40+beers and ciders while you browse the food and gift hall next door.

I'm all in for this place, huge drink selection and spectacular food. Will definitely visit again.

Great place for a drink, friendly staff & good service. Brilliant atmosphere, a good mix of ages & one of the nicer places to have a drink in Clitheroe. Would definitely recommend & will go back.

Brilliant burgers and loaded fries. A “must go” for any beer lovers for the wide and varied selection they have. Great every single time we’ve visited. Great outdoor seating too!

Great for beer, absolutely terrible for food. Flash fried, soulless terrible food. Plenty of decent beer though.

We are from the beer hall menu. Bought a few nibbles and a main. Literally thrown together and very poor quality for the price. Could have done with a spoon for the soggy nachos, literally swimming in cheese sauce. Loaded fries were soggy too. The drinks on the other hand were top quality and we’ll be back there again but won’t be eating.

Fun place for a drink not tried the food yet.

It’s an interesting location and seems popular, though it seemed odd to see so many schoolgirls In a restaurant which supposedly specialises in beer! I found it very noisy and the food sadly only average.

Got to experience this wonderful bar at its peak! It was absolutely packed both inside and out, and the atmosphere was electric! We were lucky enough to have been in when the locals were finishing their big pub walk. They had music on outside and there were lots of people dancing and singing outside. It was very busy so did take a while to get served but when the young girl served us she was smiley, happy, and really polite despite the fact that we had just heard someone being really rude to her. We then went back for another round later on and the same girl (I think she was one of the managers as she had a white blouse on instead of the uniform that the others where wearing) served us and remembered exactly what we had ordered previously. My friends and I were astonished by this as there were about 8 different drinks and she had served multiple people in between our rounds. Bowl and beerhall you’re doing something right with your training if all your staff are like her. Will absolutely be back.

Nice place, food was very good and the shop was good to have a rummage through

20 mins to get served with a beer so didn't bother with food went elsewhere, large bar with plenty of pumps, no staff, strange that they like to plug the largest bar, but don't put staff on.

Brilliant place we will definitely be going back a pub a brewery and a deli all together Genius

Call in here this morning after having breakfast at the food hall next door, just had a couple of lagers before going to the cinema, great choice of beers. Cheers and enjoy

Wow, what a place. Beer heaven with 40-odd pumps in an ex-mill. Bowland beers are so good that it was hard to sample from the extensive range of other beers on tap. Fantastic interior with some original machinery still in situ. Pleasant courtyard out front in the Holmes Mill complex. Ate here twice and enjoyed Asian chicken thighs, salt and pepper fries and lots of other things. Service good. Outside you can also order from the deli cafe next door.

On a day sesh and it was rammed. Wedding going on at the same time and have a bit of a wait for a drink every time.

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious meal and a range of drinks ! The atmosphere and live music was brilliant and the cherry on the cake was our superb waiter Ash who went above and beyond to make our experience so enjoyable thank you !

Lovely place to eat with the family . I would recommend a visit.

Nice place to eat good atmosphere but not much for children to do

A great space both indoors and, on a good day, especially outdoors. Loads of drinks choices and depending on day of the week various things happening outside. Live bands Thursday for example. Quiet when we visited and , whilst tempted, perhaps other reviews suggest we were best not to bother with the food.

I booked this place as I enjoy real ales and it didn't disappoint on that front. Great selection in an amazing old mill. However, the food. My Wife and I both ordered the steak and ale pie with chips and at the same time ordered drinks. The food arrived faster than a McDonald's and appeared to have been thrown on the tray, yes a tray, from a great distance, so much for presentation. The drinks arrived 10 minutes later. The quality was 4 out of 10 and I absolutely hate chips soaked in gravy. The place was fairly quiet but, on going to the bar to order more drinks, the service was very slow with one barman doing the majority of the work. If you like real ales this is the place to visit in a beautiful old setting but beware the food and service.

I have always enjoyed a visit to the brewery hall. The food is always very nice and the beer is obviously always impeccable. Yesterday was no different. Order the pie and chips as it’s a firm favourite, along with a drink of Hen Harrier. Both were very good and didn’t miss a trick. The only reason it’s not a solid 5 stars is the place was pretty empty and the service was a bit slow considering the amount of staff in the hall. Although the service was a bit slow the food arrived promptly and the staff were still very friendly as always with that northern hospitality. I would always return to the beer hall and would always recommend to friends and family.

Called in on the bank holiday monday. We managed to park which was a bonus as it was busy. We called in for a pint for the other half which he managed to choose after checking them all out and a coffee for me. £7.40 The beer hall is very impressive and definitely worth a look if you're in the area! Service was good and we sat in the main hall for about half an hour. There a few people sat outside as the weather was nice.

Well looked after, good meal, happy memories for me as I used to work here when it was Thornbers mill 😎

Lovely building. Food was good, beer was good, staff were excellent. Went for lunch with family and dog

Shocked at these reviews. We came for first time around 1 30 Saturday just gone. A young chap swiftly got us a seat, we ordered food and drinks my husband went to the toilet and food was there already ! Amazing service top notch we will be back again

Went out as a group of friends for a few drinks and food. We were shown to a table at the far end of the hall. Initial thoughts were the place was very loud (big group of lads watching the football behind us didn't help),...

Excellent beer Hall good selection of beer.

What a wonderful place to sit and have lunch. The only issue was that the service was a little slow to order the meal. The meal was great though. Would recommend anyone to go and visit.

Terrible bar service, skipped me so many times for women who just turn up. Would not recommend

Great food, great bowling and great beer. Really good setup here, will definitely be back.

I love Bowland Ales and the character here is gorgeous. Having said that, the staff let this place down. Stood at the bar, I was being passed up by bar staff for people that had just walked in. 15 mins and no drinks for my...

Great food, great ales, such a shame about the unfriendly atmosphere created by the team.

I really enjoyed my experience and found that the atmosphere, staff and food where a really high standard. The only reason I have knocked off a star is the limited choice for vegetarians/vegans- other than that I look forward to visiting again!

This is a lovely place to eat and drink. Dog friendly, excellent choices, good deals and very good helpful staff. Handy for the Everyman theatre.

Shocker…. No staff, poor slow service. The beer was okay. Waistcoats manager under pressure with no customer service skill… Thanks but no thanks…

Fab place to go lots of beer and food very nice very friendly staff

Absolutely pathetic you may boast about the size of your Bar but if you can’t get served what’s the point, there are no staff to serve,on our visit there was a poor guy serving and me and countless others waiting for a Beer all very...

Lovely atmosphere. Great food. Wonderful staff. and an amazing range of beers

Met up with a few mates , brilliant place. Great staff and awesome atmosphere. Def going back for a meal some time.

Difficult to get served,I went in quite drunk but ended up leaving soaber,from when I got in there until the time I was finally served by the bar staff after them serving 5 other people that had just walked in the slabs on the floor had eroded in the wind,one thing that is good about the place is that I came home with more money than I left with due to not being allowed to spend it at the beer Hall. So if you want to save your money and go home soaber come here. Food is good though,but they took the chicken strips off the menu and that was the best dish,why do they do that.

Love to visit whenever I'm in Clitheroe

My wife & I visit often when we shop in Clitheroe, go to the Coffee Exchange and see a Film at the Everyman. Always good Food, Great Beer and Excellent Service.

Pub classics and craft (ish) beers. I had a lot of fun here. If you are looking for somewhere to get a quick bite and experience some local beer, then Bowlsnd in Clitheroe is a food place to start. Lots of Vegetarian options, but was quite greasy - which is not a bad thing.

It's lovely inside and food is good but both times I've visited there has never been enough bar staff on, you end up waiting forever to get served.

Four of us had booked a table for lunch in Bowland Beer Hall. We had haddock goujons and salad/ chips. The salad had large lumps(giant marble size) in it. This was identified as soil. I’d tried a piece of goujon and salad so had the...

Really really poor , we had booked a table and were sat for 20 minutes after having ordered 4 drinks . After enquiring about them we were told they were coming . 10 minutes later they were sat on a tray at the bar ....

Honestly I would rather defecate in my hand and eat that. Mid Af fr no 🧢. Drinks were not strong enough :(. Don’t eat here unless you want to question your existence. the service is terrible apart from specific few waiters. Terrible management. Bad layout...

Recently visited for a family meal out (4 people) as a treat post Christmas. Last visited pre covid, and liked this place, which is a great venue has dropped its services massively! On this visit I wanted my partner to experience the venue as looking...

Our food took a while to come out and was average for the price but the drinks were great

Top place, Great beer selection,

Great place with huge bar, very popular, always busy, food excellent and great choice of beers

Great beer hall with industrial atmosphere. Huge selection of beers. Food is standard pub fare but very good quality. Large outside area when the weather is fine. There is 3hrs free parking if you can find a space. Great for families during the day or a relaxed night out

Fourteen of us came on a beer pilgrimage. Everyone commented the food was expensive and rated 4/10 .Thankfully the beer was fine, albeit a bit pricey compared to the local prices.

This is a lively venue for a Christmas party. There was a DJ with some good music. But it’s not a place to have a chat as when the DJ wasn’t playing as it’s all about the - loud - music. There is a good...

Good selection of beers ,interesting place to look round

Got to say Saturday evening service in Christmas Party season was very good. Waiting staff did good job and food while overpriced was pretty good.

This is a large drinking and eating establishment in the market town of Clitheroe. I've been several times and the food is lovely and usually nice and hot. On this occasion I've knocked a star off because on both mine and my husbands meals the gravy was cold. Luckily it didn't ruin the meal so there was no need to complain. Tracey was the hostess with the mostess, she was great, friendly, very obliging and always had a smile on her face. I must also give praise to the doorman who left his post to find us some seats. The toilets were nice and clean for such a busy place and there were paper towels to dry your hands, which I much prefer to hand dryers. Definitely a place to go to if you are in the area and want an inexpensive meal.
