Bowland Food Hall in Ribble Valley

Chilled afternoon with good wine and atmosphere, food looked great

Love this place for ladies that lunch ..great environment, great food and great service . All boxes ticked ✔️✔️✔️

Great place, definitely recommend.

Great place to browse around with an extensive and well presented selection of quality food and gifts. Cafe tables are dotted around throughout the shop and there is a good choice of drinks, cakes and lunchtime snacks. A very pleasant place to enjoy lunch and escape from the rain.

Fab place. You can buy loads of different products. Eat there its a fab place.

Lovely fresh fruit scones, still warm from the oven this morning.

It's nice and lots going on in the food hall, very pricey though!

Food wasn't as good last visit, also asked for oil and vinegar was only brought vinegar.

Not as good as pre covid, but certainly we'll worth a visit, friendly atmosphere and staff, good products, and we always make it a family day out , with a meal, drinks and a vist to everyman. Fully recommend.

Just be careful that you don't spend a few thousand pounds here. It's so tempting!

Plenty of unusual products unavailable elsewhere in the area. Nice coffee bar and quick meals.

Great food hall selling various wares pies cheeses wins and beer nice food area for you to try things on sale bar area next door is spacious and well kept with good beers if your in Clitheroe its definitely worth a visit

Excellent produce , locally sourced. Great selection of beers and wonderful food from restaurants. We'll worth multiple visits, sure we'll be back

Always incredible food. Staff are amazing and I hope they are paid well to reflect how amazing they always are

Had an excellent time Reece made are night

Coffee we had was lukewarm at best, expected more with the quality of the surroundings.

Great food and drinks place. Recommended.

Has a good selection of local produce and all good quality

Excellent food court with a top quality cafe. Beans on Toast was outstanding

Scammed. We parked here with a disabled person using a blue badge. We stayed for three and a half hours, eating in the beer hall and shopping in the food hall. Two weeks later we received a parking ticket for almost £100, stating that the car park has a three hour parking limit. We did not noticed the signs at the time stating this! The signs are purposely hard to spot to scam people. I spent a large amount of money already at Bowland Beer Hall and they see it fit to scam me from another £100 for using their services! Bowland - you owe me money. Please contact me asap to refund the money you owe me for your parking scam. Otherwise I will never spend another penny at your establishment again and I will advise everyone to do the same.

Really nice place and great atmosphere, plenty of options to choose from

I love the French trimmed chicken breast and the pork sausage from the butchers, the butcher is very friendly and always remembers what i order, I take a trip over each month and pop in to the pub for a cheeky glass of wine after doing my food shop.

Very busy shop/cafe - lots to see and choose from. Excellent choice of meat from the butchers and an amazing choice of cheeses. The beer hall is great with a varied selection of beers to choose from. Breakfast in the food hall was great. Part of Clitheroe food festival so extremely busy.

Great place to shop and chill lovely atmosphere and the food was excellent. Limited parking though. But 3 hours free is good .

Lunch for two, large portions and very tasty.

Needs management attention, left to go to pot. We used to go frequently, now just go to see if it's improved, waste of time, poor value.

Nice place with its own brewery. Great food, but get there early because parking spaces are limited.

Went to the farm shop and they have so much to see at great prices

Fantastic place food really good we now visit regulary

Just had the best tuna salad ... the tuna steak was cooked perfect. Love the atmosphere here also.

Great place, lots of lovely food on offer, friendly staff too. The beer hall is amazing, massive inside and great selection of drinks. Staff lovely

I ordered the falafel burger. Extremely dry in fact I had to order another hot drink to swallow it. Left half and the fries were equally dry as a bone. I didn’t want to pay for the meal but she said I had to. I love this place but will definitely not be ordering food again.

Lovely shop and cafe, the food was delicious!!

A great place to find unusual cooking ingredients or just enjoy the ambience of gastronomy. There are special events held here.

Had a nice lunch here. Busy place but well worth a visit. Lots going on on site.

Great shop and cafe local produced food and drinks and also from further afield. Really good quality 👌 A little on the expensive side but as a one off visit it was worth it. Bought some beers sausages etc Parking is free for 3 hours which is ample time to visit the beer hall cafe and do a little shop.

The Food Hall is a pleasant place to eat, good ambience, nice and bright and most tables well situated to enable conversation without impacting on neighbouring diners. The food is ok, but perhaps overpriced for what you get. Service is good with all staff being friendly, knowledgeable and attentive, but we had quite a wait for the food.

Great food in a unusual setting.

Beer is over priced, over £8 for a pint and half of Bowland Pilsner. Brewed "on site", no transport costs, etc. 660ml bottles are £3.50 in shop, but are £2.65 at Booths Settle....go figure.

Well worth a visit, posh but at a posh price.

Quality of service has continued to decline to the point at which - after more than five years of regular custom - we walked out and will not return. We arrived at 2 pm and the eating area was largely empty. We waited twenty minutes during which time not a single staff-member of staff acknowledged our arrival or spoke to us. We helped ourselves to menus after 5 minutes and were ready to order shortly after that. Few of the small number of customers present were being attended to and when we left, those that had arrived shortly after us were still waiting to be greeted let alone served. We appreciate that, post-pandemic, it is a struggle to find staff and price competitively however a 20-minute wait, without an apology or explanation, is unacceptable. We ditched the sister restaurant, The Emporium, after two similar experiences years ago.

Fresh local produce:staff are pleasant,very clean +++++

Interesting but expensive. Food menu nice, but you can't reserve tables.

First time in here... beautifully done inside with gorgeous foods and alcoholic beverages on sale on the shop side. Cafe was lovely, coffee, sausage sarnie and scone was wonderful, we will definitely be visiting here again in the near future.

The least lobster-y lobster roll imaginable. It’s outrageous that they’re charging £17.25 for essentially a vegetarian roll. Though they say it’s brioche on the menu, it’s literally the cheapest sugary white hotdog roll, with barely any lobster or crayfish in those little beads (not even balls) made primarily of flour. Would not recommend. Also, the waitress who brought our food was in such a bad mood…!!

Stumbled upon this wonderful bar in Clitheroe. Amazing selection of draught beers!

Excellent selection of produce, especially the Deli. Nice cafe and beer Hall next door with good choice of ales.

Had a beer 🍺 and coffee outside Then bought various cheeses and Bowland beers from the Food Hall Great choice of deli food and you can eat in or outside.

Lovely place with local delicacies and a marvellous deli.

Butchers good cheese good all good

Amazing place, great food great beer and lovely staff, well worth a visit.👍😋

With its architecture a new (well recent) fooderies and good shopping, a polite welcome and splendid food market and a different approach to retail awaits you. A fine outlet set in the charming shadows of Clitheroe castle. With Clitheroe being a mere hop skip and a jump away, how could you not pay it a visit. With ample parking at the venue and more on the streets in town and locally it's a must visit.

I always enjoy stopping off here. Good atmosphere, nice staff, quirky place.

Great choice of deli. food and drinks.

Its a must places to go in lancashire

Was super looking forward to eating here as the atmosphere was great and the cakes looked good however we asked to be served but was told to go and sit down and our order would be taken soon. We sat there for a good 15 minutes while all the waitresses walked around looking gaumless and no smile in sight. My little girl wanted a cake so we decided to go back up to the counter and ask for a cake in a take out bag so that we could just leave. Again the young girl that told us to sit down did not remember us and still proceeded to keep us waiting 5 minutes just for a cake. Eventually we got served - no sorry for your wait, thank you, good bye. Unbelievable staff!

A very good menu but food does not live up to what is printed. A burger was cold and when we she to back we were asked by we thought it was cold as we hadn’t taken a bite. We said it was when we had put our knife in the centre it came out cold. Reluctantly they changed it. The Buddha bowl was thrown together with lukewarm chicken and soggy butternut squash. The rice was dry and the bowl had no flavour. Most staff were pleasant until we question the temperature of the burger. Disappointed for the price of the meal

Lovely easy going food hall with lots of different foods, kitchen wear and alcohol to ponder on buying whilst eating a tasty lunch. It reminded me of a fabulous food hall we visited in Boston U.S. a few years ago. Friendly staff and a really good cappuccino. Worth dropping in, even if you don't want to eat there you can buy a treat or two.

One of the first places we visit after getting to the town. An open airy place to have a look at good quality foods . Might even stop for something for lunch and a beer.

Not the cheapest place but the quality is excellent, probably worth the cost.

Lovely place to visit, great cafe inside and a wonderful selection of fresh food and drink from all over the world. I would suggest stopping in if you're in the area.

Good coffee a very tasty cake not good if you are diabetic but what the Hell you have to have a treat sometime. 🥮🥮🥮🥮👍😁

Lots of interesting foods. Worth a visit but most items are costly

The place is very pleasant. The food arrived quickly. It was quite average. I had a bit. The sun dried tomatoes overpowered the taste. As did the mustard. Stick to the basic classic!

Big produce hall. Lots of space to eat. Loads of lovely things to eat. You can spend a good hour in here just looking round! The food counters look ace, cheese looks fab. Pies mmmm. Recently went back for a meal. Spent £60 for 2 people. Very tasty. Nice coffee and pocessco.

Brilliant service and great range of products

Eaten here a couple of times,not great. Complained about my breakfast last week, wasn't very warm, and all the waitress could say was, oh!!

A variety of drinks and foodstuffs. Good cafe.

Super place for foodies to visit - amazing selection and just a really good feel to the place - magnificent.

Nice vibe but just too overpriced. If you have plenty of money to spend, this is the place for you. The pies I bought were dry and tasted past their best.

Food took 3 hours to come!!!🥶🥶 child burn his hand on the OPEN candle. The forks were NOT edible and I cut my mouth 🤧🤧 the food was raw and had WORMS in it 🪱🐛🐛🤢🤮 100% would come back again 😍🤩🥰

I really enjoy visiting the Food Hall, There's always a great atmosphere. There's lots of choice and all good quality. You can always find something a bit different, especially for Christmas.

Fantastic produce. Knowledgable staff and fantastic information provided to me on the cheese and meat counter. However, the only negative would have to be the poor customer service from the older lady serving on the till. The whole process seemed laboured, not welcoming, or any warmth. Just scan, put the items on the side for me to bag and put the receipt on the counter, despite my hello and thank you.

Great food, service and atmosphere.

Well priced drink and tasty food. Would have liked wider breakfast menu such as full English breakfast

Wow. Fantastic range off food a day drink. Easy parking. On the down side, it's expensive.

Loads of food to choose from. Meat, cheese, beer, wine and condiments......loved it.

Amazing food hall 🤩😍 you must visit 🌟

Very impressive going back to have breakfast so watch this space had coffee and cake that was lovely staff very good ☕😊

Wonderful selection of quality food and drinks.

Rubbish. Sorry still think its far to expensive and only catered for those that have.

Loved it! Amazing produce, friendly atmosphere, wonderful staff and delicious food. We will definitely be visiting again when over that way. 😊

Great film, great seats and great staff

Absolutely terrible experience. We came for brunch and to do some shopping but we couldn’t wait to get out of the place. We got a few things for the chilled cabinet but that was about it. The music was beyond awful, I don‘t know who wants that on a Sunday morning and at such volume - certainly not the shoppers as there was none. There were diners but we couldn’t eat there, we just had to leave as soon as possible. Also, they’ve put a bunch of tables in amongst the deli so you’re almost on top of them when browsing 😂😂😂 Just bizarre and laughable. Not returning, it’s an awful place now. It was once a fave but not anymore. It shows, there used to be people browsing but now there are very few. One benefit is that since we didn’t eat there, we went and found The Emporium - great food, reasonably priced and an absolutely beautiful interior. And it had quiet music befitting of the place. Loved it.

Very nice shopping outlet with good coffee and cakes!

Food is really good and tasty.Good price.Nice atmosphere. Ate outside as we brought the dog.Loads of lovely things to buy inside too.

Nice place for a drink and mooch round Busy on a Saturday

Great Place, absolutely recommend the Pastel De Nata

Excellent food ,good service+atmosphere really good

Amazing food, drinks, weather, such a lovely time

Very friendly and everything clean and a wonderful choice of stuff

What a wonderful place, great food Hall showcasing local and international foods, brilliant bar, restaurant and brewery.

It was an utterly delight to visit this lovely place ,do some shopping and have a spot of lunch . All I can say is the oat milk wasn't so nice but apart feom that it was lovely 🥰

A great place to visit. Have a meal and glass of wine. Visit bowland brewery and the food Hall is fantastic.

Had the sharing platter and the belly pork scotch egg with a lovely glass of wine. Great atmosphere has a real vibe about it, Some nice unusual products in the farm shop.

My husband's food was nice but small and overpriced. I ordered a small quiche. The outside looked okay but when I cut into it, the middle just oozed out as it was completely uncooked. The polite waitress took it back to replace it. It took a while and when it came I cut into it and it was almost as liquid as the first one. I left hungry. We won't be returning.

Can’t recommend this place more. The staff are friendly and the food was spot on. We managed to get a table as someone was leaving and the table was promptly cleaned. I had the poached salmon sandwich and my partner had a chicken and bacon which came in good time. The sun was out so then went down to the ice cream parlour and finished with a pint next door. Something for everyone!

Me & my wife went to the food hall this afternoon & I cannot recommend them enough. We both has sandwiches with sides of halloumi fries and the potato wedges. Service was really quick & all the staff were polite and very helpful when I asked about dietary requirements and the gluten free options. Amazing service, amazing food - we will be returning!

Very disappointed. We usually like it here, nice ambience, unusual market type items, nice people. We decided to have a late lunch. Got to say, you're taking the mick somewhat on your prices. My husband ordered the cheese sandwich. Yes, it said open, but come on, one slice of bread, a bit of cheese, pickle, and salad. £8.95. I called the waitress over and asked her how on earth they can call this a sandwich when there is only one slice of bread. She did bring over a 2nd slice and we were not charged. But we even had to order fries, £4.50 as are not included, where please do you get your prices. I ordered chicken Caesar salad as I had this before. Previously, came in a bowl, plenty of it, touch expensive but ok. This time, small pieces of chicken, few lettuce leaves, far too many croutons, which I did not eat and some bacon bits. £14.95, for what I got, this is extortionate. Seriously, Bowlands, you already overcharge on your market goods, e.g. Lonsdale cottage cheese, your price £2.50, Asda £1.50, how on earth do you get away with that? We do and have liked Bowlands for a while but we will definitely think again moving forward when visiting Clitheroe.

First time visiting the cafe and safe to say I will not be rushing back. Visited with family - 2 adults and 2 children. Myself and one of the children had falafel - £6 for 4 falafel in a bowl with a few leaves was a rip off. Husband had the ploughman's which he enjoyed but again massively overpriced with tiny pieces of cheese and stale bread. My other daughter had a Scotch egg which turned out to be a black pudding scotch egg- something that should have been pointed out at the time of ordering, particularly as we were very clear we were ordering this for a child. Even had it not been black pudding, I would have expected it to be warm for the price that was charged. My husband has never complained before but he raised the standard of the food with the waitress when she came to collect the plates. She did apologise and took off the price of the scotch egg and offered us a choice of free drink. We would have cut our losses and left otherwise, but as one child was still hungry we got them cakes - the cakes were good. Even with the money taken off, I thought it was massively overpriced for the quantity and quality of the food received. It's also a Shame that they don't do a children's menu, this would be easy to do - we were told to go to the pub part of we wanted a children's menu, but would be nice if the cafe could offer something too as we hadn't wanted a big pub meal.
