Churchfield House in Hyndburn

I've been here on numerous occasions for a meal. The staff are friendly and always had great service. I've ordered various items from the menu, and I've never been disappointed with the food. I've always reserved a table in advance.

Food, service and staff Fab. Car park entrance awkward and small. Gardens are beautiful. Booking advised.

Great food at the right price we will be back again

Lovely home-made food and plenty of it.

Lovely building full of lovely staff great food what more do you want on mothers day

Lovely setting. I had jam roll poly (suet) it was nostalgia in a bowl... extremely nice staff... It's worth a visit...Will definitely be going again

The best roast beef dinner I have ever had reasonably priced with lovely staff we will be back 🙂

A delightful historical building,restored nicely, is was a restaurant with lovely friendly staff, open Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday please go along and experience it for yourself, highly recommend

Called in for coffee, after a cold morning walk and what a gem this building was,it turned out that it was in the process of being restored by the local historical society, we were given a tour of upstairs rooms in the process of being restored. Apart from that there's excellent service and coffee, can highly recommend.

Beautifully prsented , delicious and very inexpensive food. And very attentive friendly people serving.

Just got back from lunch , the food was Excellent. served by some lovely people , lovely place to eat , nice homely atmosphere, can thoroughly recommend this place and at a great price too

We were here for an 80th birthday party and the food was delicious, well presented and very reasonably priced! The service was brilliant and staff were very friendly and funny! I was amazed to learn the staff were all volunteers who run the restaurant and upkeep of the house - which has been beautifully decorated. Will definitely be returning next time I am in Great Harwood. Can't recommend it enough.

Great little cafe. Good choice of food. Staff are volunteers and are brilliant. Good cause too for Cat Charity. Def go back.

Delicious food with such variety, service excellent, prices reasonable, shall definitely go again. Eileen Bridge

Lovely food brilliant staff good value for money

We were gifted a voucher for afternoon tea for our 50th wedding anniversary and we were very impressed. The food was absolutely brilliant with four varieties of finger sandwiches, warm sausage roll, scones with jam and cream, trifle in a tea cup and four varieties of cakes. The staff were really friendly and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be visiting again to have a meal from the main menu which has plenty of choices.

Lovely place and atmosphere and lovely food all home cooked great menu and excellent service all run by volunteers couldn't fault it

Had afternoon tea , it was amazing. Such friendly staff.

We visited here for afternoon tea by recommendation. The buidling is close to the centre of Great Harwood and is quite impressive and set it attractive grounds. The staff were attentive and involved and the food quality was quite good. I would have liked to have been able to to choose the composition of the sandwiches as I am not fond of salmon. There were 4 finger sandwiches pper person however there was little attempt to providing appropriate accompaniments, with just an attempt at a small piece of quiche that didn't work. There was an ample amount of cakes plus a trifle in a cup. I was pleased that hot chocolate was available as a substitute to tea and I was impressed by the attractive and distinctive crockery.

I have been meaning to call in here for years as the cheese pie has such a great reputation. I reserved a slot and wasn’t disappointed. The pie was one of the best I have eaten away from home. The cost was very low. The service was Superfast. The volunteers were so friendly and I found out they are training youngsters how to work in a kitchen. I will be making regular visits to this place from now on.

My sister's and I had our CHRISTMAS lunch very nice and cheap

Christmas lunch with the Stepping out walking group,Excellent food and service at this lovely venue.

Delicious food, excellent service and value for money! Well worth a visit.

Excellent service and food. I was really surprised when I found out that all who work there are volunteers. They do an admirable job.

What a fantastic historical gem of a place. We had afternoon tea this afternoon with fizz, lovely sandwiches, trifle and cakes and pastries as well as plenty of tea and coffee. All served by wonderful volunteers on beautiful China plates, cup, saucers and cake stands. The room is beautiful and airy and a delight to the eye. Food all home made and delicious. We will definitely come again, thank you for such wonderful service.

My wife and I went here today at short notice because a friend had Covid and couldn't keep a reservation, so we stepped in. We had an absolutely superb 3-course lunch - full roast for me and ham salad for my wife - and the service was exemplary. Terrific value for money, too. Will definitely be returning in the future!

The most fabulous place to eat. Cheap, great home cooked food, brilliant volunteers, lovely old house and gardens. A jewel for miles and miles.

A wonderful piece of local history, run entirely by volunteers. The cheese and onion pie is legendary! Booking is advised as it isn't open everyday and gets busy. Definitely recommend a visit.

Great Harwood and Barnoldswick were chosen by the Loyal Company of Town Criers to hold the 2022 British Championships. We chose Churchfield House grounds to be our venue and the restaurant to cater for us at both lunch and dinner. We chose right. Everything just worked and the food was beautiful. Thirty two very happy Criers left at 11pm after a wonderful experience.

A lovely birthday treat with my friend today thank you - lovely service and very tasty, home-cooked food. What you have achieved here is amazing and a real credit to all the team. We will be back very soon!

Been to churchfield House for the first time today what a beautiful place with excellent home cooked food lovely staff can't fault it well done everyone.

Excellent service. Good food. Beautiful house

Went for afternoon tea and it was absolutely stunning! The building itself was beautiful and the food was all home made and absolutely divine! Not only that but we got a selection of sandwiches, cakes and even a small trifle, all for £10 per head was a bargain! Will certainly be recommending and going again!

Superb Christmas lunch at a very affordable price.

We had a great meal at Churchfield House in beautiful decorated room. We will definitely be back again soon

Excellent food and lovely helpful and friendly service from the volunteers. The surrounding garden and building is beautiful.

Nice old school place for gatherings , has parking and a bar

Absolutely delicious food. Service is great, staff all friendly . The place is spotless. Beautifully decorated. Lovely atmosphere. I cannot praise it enough. Please visit 🙏 and have a lovely home cooked meal, afternoon tea or just a snack. You won't be disappointed.

Very good food, pleasant staff (volunteers).

Lovely people and a lovely place

We visited Churchfield House recently and enjoyed fantastic hospitality. We were visiting Great Harwood for a Christening at St Bartholomew's Church. We had arrived a little ahead of time and were looking for somewhere for a hot drink and a light snack. When I first approach the restaurant (via the rear door it transpired) I was politely advised they didn't open until 12.00pm. As I began to walk away to update the rest of my family, a lady asked what we wanted. When I said a drink, she very kindly told us to walk round to the restaurant and they would be happy to serve us. Once inside the restaurant, the welcome, hospitality and service were absolutely first class. I feel terrible I didn't ask the lady who served us what her name was, but she was brilliant. Even though we had initially asked just for drinks, the lady offered toast or cake as we had explained we had travelled up from the Midlands. We were served a big pot of tea and told to ask if it needed topping up, followed by a big plate of toast with butter and jam. We were made to feel very welcome even though I believe the restaurant wasn't actually open to customers and were if fact preparing for lunch service. In fact, looking at the lunch menu, I was sorely tempted to miss the Christening and stop for lunch !! Highly recommended, just a real pity it's so far away.

Visited with my mum and sister. Lovely place to dine, everywhere was spotlessly clean and old-school chic. We had sea bass plus homemade meat pie, all with fresh vegetables and it was fabulous. Everything was very fresh and perfectly cooked. Homemade apple crumble with custard to follow, lush! The staff are very attentive without intruding, and the price is very reasonable indeed. All in all we’re looking forward to going back again soon, would highly recommend this great venue.

Excellent meal very tasty really friendly staff will definitely come again and bring others try it you won't be disappointed 😉 Very reasonable prices.

Visited previously in December 2018 and 2019 for Christmas dinner with friends and was impressed with the quality of food and service. On this occasion I visited with a friend for lunch. The staff were welcoming, the home made food was delicious and Nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be back!

Visited Sunday for afternoon tea. Food was tasty and well presented. Friendly and helpful staff. Definitely worth a visit

Wat a wonderful place .with food like your grandma used to make .

Excellent venue for a small event. Ran a bridge xmas meal. Food was very good and staff would do anything to oblige. Excellent

Lovely people lovely building , food was top notch

A great atmosphere with lovely people

Beautiful house, lovely surroundings. An ideal venue for every occasion. We use the upstairs room for our Circle Dancing group. All the volunteers are so friendly and obliging.

Excellent food,friendly and helpful staff. Have recommended Churchfield to many people;they have all been impressed. High quality food in a delightful atmosphere. Thank you.

Home cooked food has become a widely used phrase which used to convey that the food was wholesome and taste, just like grandma used to make. Nowadays it is used more as a catchall marketing term with no real meaning. Not at Churchfield House in Great Harwood. The food is homemade by a team of trained volunteers. This makes the exceptional quality of the dishes even more remarkable. The price is is as remarkable as the quality. We had a starter (Prawn Tempura), maincoursr of pan fried fillet of sea bass with a superb plate of creatively cooked vegetables, finished with a coffee all for under £12.Excetional. The service was also excellent, again all provided by great volunteers.

This is run by volunteers who were all really friendly and welcoming. The food was brilliant and fantastic value. Will definitely go again

Acorn antiques with style . Two soups ? Had three and more . .

Nice environment and place for a family gathering or even a pop up shop

Food was brilliant well worth going again can't fault any thing

Visited on a Sunday lunchtime for a post-baptism meal. Although it was very busy, the service was friendly and attentive. The meal was great. I had the tempura prawns and the sea bass - which was excellent. I would definitely recommend this dining experience to friends.

Pleasant afternoon in beautiful surroundings. Excellent afternoon tea. Well worth a visit.

Splendid! I had afternoon tea with ladies from our craft class. The volunteers who work here couldn't be more pleasant. They are obviously very proud of the immaculate building and its facilities. . There are lovely gardens on the outside that add to the beauty of the building and looking past the houses there are views peeping through of our pennine hills. Back to the inside and the afternoon tea of fresh home made food was lovely.. cakes of bake off quality and pots of fresh, piping hot tea served in china cups.. I loved it.

Lovely place run by volunteers. Definitely worth a visit the prices are very reasonable and all the volunteers are very friendly . We will definitely be back

Good service and excellent food

Good food,excellent quality and service

Very pleasant gardens, nice to sit sometimes and watch the world go by...

First Class Catering and friendly staff

Nice venue, great staff and a lovely building.

I've been three times now for afternoon tea and each time it has been wonderful. Where do they get their volunteers from? They are absolute gems. Nothing is too much trouble. You can feel their pride in the surroundings and the food. Everything is homemade and absolutely delicious. It's always a total treat and amazing value for money. I want to try their Sunday lunch sometime soon.

A lovely place to visit for lunches and social events

What an amazing place. I went for the first time on Thursday with my cousins and I loved it. It's very relaxing the food is excellent and the staff are wonderful, I will certainly be going again. Thank you for a great day Sylvia xxxxx

Very good home cooked food. A lovely traditional Victorian House set in traditional gardens. Booking recommended.

Delightful place in pleasant grounds. Lovely home cooked food. Very reasonably priced. Limited parking on site but plenty of on street parking. Only open three days a week and need to book for Christmas. Run by volunteers - who do a great job!

Lovley place , good food , friendly staff.

Our visit here was an experience I will not forget for some time to come. I can't say the food was bad because it reminded me of my grandparents Sunday lunch mixed in with a bit of faulty towers. Will we go back definitely 😁

A gem of a place really nice staff serving delicious home prepared food. The ideal place for the type of event that we attended.

Food delicious. Surroundings lovely. Friendly service and not hurried. Couldn't have been better thankyou.

Fantastic Christmas family party venue! Wonderful food!

A lovely place to go even for a cup of tea the staff are very friendly and remember it's run by volunteers. If you get a chance to try the cheese and onion pie I would definitely recommend that

Great little place, great food and all run by volunteers.

Attended a tour of the building with NWACTS and were treated to afternoon tea. Sandwiches were delicious with generous and tasty fillings. Cakes were lovely with a good selection. I don't drink tea often, but it was a lovely cuppa. The trust have done a fantastic job restoring the building and it was good to hear the history of it and the of the work they have undertaken and are planning.

Lovely welcoming place. Well done ladies.

Although not had a meal but if you have one please leave plenty of time,have used for a club expensive for what we get removed comply seats have hard ones not good sometimes cold.

Beautiful place and friendly service

Lovely meal, cheese and onion quiche, chips etc. and a really tasty fruit and walnut crumble which was gorgeous. Huge pot of tea too. Excellent value for money, friendly atmosphere. Nice clean and welcoming room. Would recommend this to anyone.

Accomadated elderly, baby and teenagers with ease. Locally sourced food where possible and home cooking. Knowledgeable local volunteers bringing life back to a beautiful building.

Visited today for Sunday lunch. Not a large menu but something for everyone's taste. I had the roast lamb Sunday lunch and it was delicious, the lamb was tender came with boiled new potatoes, roast, carrots and broccoli. My friend had the sea bass, beautifully cooked with vegetables. The scones were freshly made and excellent. The service was good and the ladies were really pleasant.

Excellent home made food reasonably priced. Lovely, interesting rooms furnished in keeping with the building. Ideal for small parties, small functions, meetings etc.

We came for the quiz evening on Saturday 21 May. Well what an absolutely entertaining evening. It was genuinely so much fun! A corned beef hotpot was also provided. This was so delicious. It took me back to my childhood when my mum used to cook it. Lovely people who ran the evening with lovely people there too.

We are regular customers for lunch after church on Sunday. The staff do a splendid job with limited facilities. There is always a wide choice of Specials including a roast of some kind. The choice may be too wide to provide a slick service, however, it does allow time to digest the sermon. Carol our normal waitress is usually on hand to explain what's available and save a slice of custard tart for pudding. It's a charming little gem which I hope remains secret.

We had a lovely time here. Quaint, old fashioned setting, with table cloths & old China cups & saucers. Organised chaos at times, but we'll worth the wait for the freshly prepared food. Please remember that this little tea shop is run by volunteers, who try their hardest to ensure prompt service, but it doesn't always work like that. So don't come here if you are in a hurry. But the food is worth the wait. Only open Thursday, Friday & Monday.

I try to visit most times i am walking in the area. Really nice volunteers serving simple teas and snacks usually home.made, incl cakes, sweets etc. Lovely outdoor area incl flower garden and large grounds. Real budget prices, served with a smile. My little Gem. Hoping this true review encourages more visitors. You will not be disappointed.

Every community needs places to meet, to interact and to both teach and to learn. This venue can host multiple meetings on two floors and although quite modest in size is perfectly adequate for purpose.

Great food and staff in great surrounding gardens in this supperb listed building run by volunteers from great Harwood

Local volunteers run this great little cafe in the old reading rooms that they took over when the local council were going to close it. Prices are low because no wages are paid. Hot beef and onion gravy on a bun with salad and chips £4.95, can't beat that. Good selection of beverages and wines, also available for small functions. Pity it is only open Thursday Friday and Sunday

Just had lunch here today after passing by for years. Open Thu, Fri and Sun from 11:00 until 16:00. The dining room is a lovely traditional room with white tablecloths and chairs. All main courses £4.95, with additional choices of soup, sandwiches, toasties, omelettes etc. Full breakfast with toast and jam (£5) served until 11:30. I had poached egg and smoked salmon on toasted brioche with chips and salad, followed by 2 homemade scones with butter, jam and cream plus a large pot of tea for a total of £8.25. The service from the volunteer ladies was exceptional and the food freshly made and hot. If you fancy a traditional genteel cafe with good wholesome homemade food served by nice people then this is a place for you.

We have just been here today for lunch and it was all delicious. My husband had the lamb and veggie pie. I had a prawn salad sandwich with extremely tasty bread . The ladies who volunteer were all so friendly and welcoming it was a very experience all round. Good prices too.

We had booked a table for 3 for afternoon tea on sunday 5th June. We were served in Royal albert teacups and plates. And..they just served the most delicious finger Sandwiches, prawn, salmon, egg, beef, chicken. On brown and white bread. coronation chicken on mini pastry, smoked salmon on belinnis, cake, key lime pie,scones cream and strawberries and as much tea as you could drink. good service in very pleasant setting The price was £5 each. they also do hot meals as well as salmon salads all at such reasonable prices. Well done to everyone.

Had tea for two, beautiful homemade soup and a yummy tasty toastie served a fresh mixed side salad. All of this for only £7.00, worth every penny. The venue is beautiful with a bright and pleasant dining room with lovely views over the park. Would highly recommend for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea.

Pleasant Surprise after a Local Walk. Run primarily by Volunteers, This Historic building has lots of uses, and recently started opening for Tea and Coffee Lunches all baked by some wonderful and Friendly People. Always someone plodding around doing something. I have been During Craft Fares, and Photographic Exhibitions too. Great For local Historians, And small groups for meetings etc. My Biggest Praise goes to the people who run it. Kindness Personified.
