Cafe Ri-An in Hyndburn

My friends and I pre-booked the Christmas lunch menu. You could choose 1, 2 or 3 courses and each course had 3 option's to choose from. We all of course choose the 3 course option and it takes a while to decide because everything sounds really good. We arrive and the atmosphere was so lovely, it was full and although the cafe is small it didn't not feel over crowded. People are talking and Christmas songs are playing quietly in the background. Not everyone was having the Christmas menu as this had to be pre booked in advance. I had the prawn cocktail to start and it was lovely fresh and just the right size I'd say for a starter. My friends had different starters but we all had empty plates, so I'd day it was good. Then we all had the turkey dinner which was yummy and wow big. It had plenty of turkey, all the trimming and the pigs in blankets could quite possibly be the nicest I've ever tasted. For pudding, 2 of our group had Christmas pudding and one had the cheese board. Again all empty plates at the end and some very happy ladies. The turkey dinner was so big, I was unable to finish the whole plate, I was aware I still and Christmas pudding to come and I didn't want to miss that. I asked if I could take what I left home and the lovely waitress happily accepted my request and later returned with a takeaway box containing my surplus food. I asked if I could also have a cheese board to take home which again was no trouble and the team happily provided the cheese board in a takeaway box. All the staff were polite, friendly and happy to help. The atmosphere was kind and had a cosy community feeling like everyone was welcome. I could go on but all in all it was a lovely afternoon with friends, at a difficult time of year. Yes I said it, Christmas is not my favourite time of year, but today felt chrismassy, but not over baring. The kind warm atmosphere made me feel good. Thank you team Ri-an, I will be back and spreading the word.

Cozy atmosphere with good choices for light entertainment while dining enjoyed the tuna sandwich and tea beautiful and plentiful scrambled eggs on toast gorgeous cakes such a value for money.

Little gem in Accrington! Traditional breakfast and fantastic service ❤️

Had two lovely meals and was made very welcome

Always great wholesome food, polite staff, great portions and choice, well reccomended and one of my fave to go to places

What a friendly cafe this is. Went here for the first time for lunch today with 3 others, we were all made welcome even my dog who got extra strokes and a bowl of water. The cafe was so busy but the staff were cheerful and the food was delicious, all meals were fresh and tasty. Thank you, we’ll definitely be back

Finally got round to sampling the delights of cafe Ri- An and certainly wasn’t disappointed. Seen lots of photos of their food on social media and was just as good as it looked. Sweet chilli chicken wrap with salad, coleslaw and fries was really good and plentiful portion wise. The menu has something to suit all tastes and alcohol drinks available for those who want them. Service was first class and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. I bet they wish they had bigger premises as this is obviously very popular eatery

Have been for both Sunday breakfast with the family, week day breakfasts and lunches and have not been disappointed. Great food, efficient service, lovely friendly staff and nice atmosphere. It is advisable to book as it does get busy but you can just pop in but you must be prepared to sometimes have to wait. It is worth it!

I live abroad but visit cafe Ri-An on every visit back. Their breakfasts are amazing! Lunch's are varied, plentiful and the produce which is lovely and fresh is cooked to perfection. A warm, inviting, atmosphere which is equal to the friendly service and great staff. If you're in Accrington be sure to try cafe Ri-An. You'll want to go back for more.

Cannot fault this little Gem. It is truly a lovely welcoming cafe. Food is consistently excellent and the staff are all great.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch with my husband today. I have eaten here before with friends but it was his first visit. He chose the Chilli and rice and I went for the Salmon .Both meals arrived at the table after a short wait despite being busy.The food was freshly prepared and very tasty.The staff are friendly and helpful and as I looked around it was obvious other people were enjoying their food too .

We have been here a few times now and have found every time has been a great experience. The staff are friendly and attentive. All the food is cooked to order and you can tell that everything is fresh. Would definitely recommend, and we will be going again and again. It is worth booking a table as it gets very busy, which shows how popular they are. They do accept walk ins however you may have a little wait, which would be worth it anyway.

Excellent Cafe. Good food, Service and very pleasant staff. Great for breakfast.

A real hidden gem. We went in today for lunch and I was extremely impressed. The service was excellent, very friendly without being overbearing. The food was excellent, I had a sausage panini which was extremely tasty and served with a good amount of chips and salad. My mother and brother both had club sandwiches and these were generously filled and looked delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and warm feeling and the menu is varied enough to find something for everyone. Really very strongly recommended.

Went to Cafe Ri- An yesterday for lunch after a friend recommended it, what a fantastic place, I had the Steak Pie, and it was stunning. My wife had the burger, which was also delicious, finished off with a chocolate fudge cake and ice cream and two large latte's. It was well worth the journey from Clitheroe and we will be back really soon. Mark & Lin

Great food. We had to wait a few minutes for a table as it was packed to the rafters. They take card or cash payment.

First visit, a lovely little cafe, very clean and modern. Service was very quick and it was busy, latte was hot which is a bonus because some cafés sell them just warm. We both had a bacon and egg teacake, bacon was perfectly cooked and plenty of it with 3 rashers. Will be paying another visit. Very well priced also. Loved it

Had a fantastic Christmas lunch

Excellent food, really friendly staff and great service at a good cost, will definitely be returning.

Always amazing! Friendly owners and the staff always go above and beyond, keep up the good work. Will be back very soon for my full breakfast

We went here on a recommendation and it did not disappoint. There is plenty to choose from on the menu and the pies are homemade. We both chose the mince & onion pie (which was a decent size) one was with chips and the other with roast potatoes, then there was broccoli and carrots and it was absolutely delicious. The staff are lovely too. Definitely go back again.

The Carrot cake is to die for!!

Lovely breakfast very friendly staff

Amazing!! We both had the breakfast one veggie and it was lovely. Amazing food and the cafe was exceptional. We will definitely be calling back soon.

Excellent breakfast, cooked well. Good service, nice and clean - just what we wanted to start the day.

Pies, need i say more.. OH maybe breakfast, but pies.. 👍👍👍👍

Go here every week for the big breakfast, Well worth the money, very friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere

By far the best cafe in accrington, fantastic food served and the staff are brilliant. Great prices and everything is cooked or made to the highest standards. Brilliant owners 👏

Amazing food today and the prices were very reasonable. The scones with cream and jam come highly reccomended!

Best breakfast I've had anywhere, perfect to combine with a bus trip (X41 in my case). The seating is exceptionally comfy, the atmosphere relaxed, the food has always been presented and cooked to my tastes. Pricing remarkably low for this quality. Super cafe.

A nice, clean establishment. Sat for nearly 15 minutes before I was attended to. The breakfast was very reasonably priced and of a good standard. Proper sausage and decent toasted bread. Bacon quality wasn't the best though. Put the price up a quid and get quality bacon. It's too cheap at £6.50 and well worth the extra.

It’s just sensational for breakfast. Perfect, high quality Lovely staff. This is a real gem so different to other places in Accrington

Food was ok, atmosphere great. Staff very friendly & helpful

We go here at least once a week for breakfast best in Accrington set's us up for the day Great friendly staff excellent food

Excellent food . Very high quality. Friendly service. Lovley Resturaunt . Highly reccomended :)

This café was recommended to us, we were very happy to find it was well worth the visit.

I cannot praise this superb Place too highly. Went in for first time for breakfast. It was perfection! I had the full English my wife the smaller version. The quality of the cooking was exceptional as were all the ingredients. I realise people might think yes a breakfast is a breakfast. Not so. I’ve nothing to do with is establishment but please beat a path to their door. The whole bill including drinks was £15. We will definitely be back…with family and friends

Had a breakfast staff were attentive and friendly, the sausages were amazing.

Went in today to have breakfast with my mum , felt warm , friendly and comfortable. Friendly greeting from the guy behind the counter and asked to choose any two seater table . Ordered 2 small breakfasts which were perfectly cooked , hot and fresh and tasted beautiful, so well done to the cook 👩‍🍳 My mum also had jam Roly poly which she said was lovely. Will definitely return to this lovely little place as really look forward to tasting some more lovely food . Great food , welcoming staff 😁

Good food Good quality good service reasonable price

Went for lunch with my husband, lovely little place. Clean and inviting, friendly staff and great menu choice. Food was very nice and really reasonably priced. Nice to see fresh salad instead of out of a packet. Would definitely recommend.

Love this cafe. The food and service are top notch. Been twice now and had the full English breakfast both times. Looking forward to trying a different meal soon🙂 parking outside too, if your lucky.

Ordered 2 full breakfasts; well cooked, nicely presented, great quality ingredients. Dog friendly too. Ticks all the boxes for us!

Visited for breakfast this morning, lovely environment and lovely staff, really made us feel welcome. The food was just as nice! Definitely recommend and will be returning soon, thank you for our lovely experience x

Enjoyed breakfast there, service was very quick and polite. Maybe music could be quieter

I called in for breakfast at around 9.15am. The Cafe was empty and I sat in a seat where I could see the TV while eating. I was then asked to move to a small table and told it gets busy at 10am. Bearing in mind this is 9.15 and I'm just eating my breakfast and leaving. There were still plenty of empty tables when I left. I won't be going again.

I called in for breakfast at 9.15am. The Cafe was completely empty so I sat at 4 seat table that seemed in a cozy place, where I had a view of the TV. I was asked to move to a small table. I was told 'it gets busy at 10am. Bear in mind it was not even 9.30 yet and I was only having crumpets and a brew. I felt awkward and uncomfortable. There was still plenty of empty tables when I left.

The food is always first class 😋

Would just like to say special thanks to Andrea and Sean and the staff always well looked after.we called in Friday this WK..Lynne had prawn cocktail.i had the meat/onion pie chips/peas..was delisihers as always...see you soon..Lynne/cath xx

Came in for the first time today and was highly impressed with the standard of service and the quality of my breakfast.The waitress with a delightful Scottish smile and accent was perfection.I must also congratulate the owner for blessing Accrington with such an eating gem.

Came in today for a full breakfast and it didn’t disappoint,amazing quality food along with amazing service,always a favourite stop of when in Accrington.

really nice perfectly cooked breakfast, fast friendly service, nice surroundings very clean good value well worth a visit.

Best coffee I've had for ages. Best veggie sausage butty., on toast! I found Ri-An in a search for Vegetarian food in Accrington, as I knew I was going to visit. My friend and I were very impressed.

Wonderful food and lovely customer service.

Background music a bit to loud but otherwise a great place .... You read the reviews but nothing beats the real thing...Very enjoyable

Myself and my other half visited on Saturday just gone. The cafe was packed! We were told, "sorry, there isn't room for you!" So, me and OH just got a drink, and a slice of cake for me, before heading on our way.

Great atmosphere, friendly people. Good food and reasonable prices.

I guess I would be a bit bias by saying this, (since it is my mums cafe) but the food is brilliant, and everyone is always nice and friendly. Overall 5/5 would defo recommend...

My daughter and I go most weeks and it is always a wonderful friendly atmosphere. The breakfast cannot be beaten.

Nice Friendly staff Good value for money Been twice this week its that good 😋😋

Lovely home cooked food, good service, nice n clean

Always reliably excellent food and service. Absolutely best eatery in Accrington.

Been meaning to call in here for ever. Finally we got down town And it was just as we had expected. Friendly staff , swift service, great food. There alcohol if you like , coffee , teas etc . Lovely presentation too. Prices are great

Excellent breakfast, tasty and superbly cooked

I rarely venture out & was so glad that I did. We came out for an impromptu bite to eat and was more than pleasantly happy with, service, food and environment. I especially loved the books that were on the shelves available for a nosey. Will definitely be back :)
