Edisford Bridge Hotel in Ribble Valley

Lovely pub, right next to a campsite

The perfect example of a cosy pub with friendly staff, excellent food (great taste and portion size) and a cosy atmosphere. Would highly recommend for both warm summer days or rainy winter nights.

Great experience here, lovely food and entertainment on too!

Very lovely country pub. Lovely furnishings and decorations which gave it that real "country pub" feel

Great friendly pub with an amazing olde world feel

Wow love this pub we were camping next door , we went in for lunch cheese and onion pie to die for and we went back in the evening for the pub quiz and dinner again Made to feel very welcome for the quiz even had hugs when we left I will stay at the campsite again just for this pub

Lovely, old fashioned type pub suitable for all ages

We've had a full Sunday lunch here twice and both have been great. This time (Sunday 20th October, 2024) the beef dinner was exceptional with sliced beef and pulled beef in a Yorkshire Pudding and lots of veg with creamy mash and gorgeous gravy . The bar man/waiter was brilliant. Sadly it all went downhill with the roast potatoes. They weren't roasted properly. They were not even brown, just cream coloured. I had to really fight to slice into them. I left mine and commented to the excellent waiter. I wouldn't have posted any negative if it wasn't that, while paying, we were told our drinks would not be charged due to the comment about the roast potatoes. Good news to any Yorkshire lad's ears. But sadly, the deduction didn't take place. I don't think we will be returning

Probs one of the best pubs in terms of atmosphere and food. Every time we come here, the staff are super warm and friendly. Cute little log fire going in autumn & winter. Would 10/10 recommend the flat iron steak. Prices are spot on, too.

Great ambience, fabulous food, very good beer on tap!

Arrived to find a limited menu as there was a problem with the gas in the kitchen, ordered a Chicken Salad, & Cheese & onion pie , Chicken Salad was lovely, Cheese pie came without the caramelised onion. Mashed potato & baked beans where ok, This Cheese pie was not worth £19. Discusting.

Marvellous Lancashire cheese and onion pie!

Saturday afternoon food . The two of us shared three starters and all of them were perfect . Chicken strips were lovely and tender and the garlic mushrooms were very tasty . The dirty fries made it . Service was very good and the food value for money !

Visited on a Monday to find no food being served so left

Whilst campling next door we had a meal on the 1st night which was beautiful. Leaving today decided to try the breakfast, it was absalute quality. Lovely staff. Overall what a little gem of a place.

Fabulous food and Fantastic staff. A family reunion dinner with 7 of us including 2 children. Food was incredible, the pies are a Lancashire lasses’ dream as she lives down South and misses them massively! Very friendly and helpful staff made it a memorable day.

A lovely country pub with an excellent, extensive menu and polite, welcoming staff. The home-cooked food is delicious, very well presented and served piping hot. Delicious coffee too! Thank you to Katie, chef Cal and the team.

Had a super breakfast today at the Edisford Bridge Country Pub, very welcoming and lovely, friendly staff with great service too. Thank you!

Came from campsite in pouring rain to a warm welcome? Food was excellent 👌 great staff lovely pub will be definitely returning

Love this pub .Stayed for a few days at the adjacent campsite with our Shetland sheepdog Tommy. The pub is very dog friendly. The staff were extremely well trained and I was particularly impressed with the tall girl who seemed to live there! The beer was excellent ( Hazel and I are long time CAMRA members ) and although we didn’t have any food we overheard many comments from customers who did saying it was excellent.The pub is superbly run by the Landlady with clearly total support from her husband/ partner who turned up after his own work day to be the very humorous quiz master . Love to see so much effort being put into making a pub ( which may have been shut down ) be successful, especially in these days of so many pubs closing down . Hazel and I ( and our dog Tommy plus my fishing friend Richard ) loved our visits to this pub and the campsite;.plus I caught a 6.5lb brown trout in the river below the bridge which any angler will tell you is an absolute specimen !

Lovely place spotlessly clean and attentive staff

Excellent service and well priced food

Great place, toilets let it down they stink.

Had a lovely family meal on Thursday lunchtime. Tbe food was excellent, staff very attentive without being too intrusive. Would defininately recommend.

We had a family meal at Edisford Bridge Pub. The service was excellent from booking the meal through to the end of the evening. The team were very attentive without being intrusive. We were given a private space and our dogs were welcone. We were a challenging party of 16 and nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent and they had even gone to the trouble of decorating my dessert with happy birthday in sauce (photo attached). We will definitely be back.

Lovely country pub we didn't eat here but called in for a drink on way back from clitheroe very nice service and a lovely lady who went above and beyond to find us a seat didn't catch her name but presume she was maitradi if not she should be well done

The food here is terrible & well overpriced for what you get! £8.50 for a teeny tiny cake with not even a full scoop of ice cream with it! It was half a spoon !!The food is chewy & tasteless and looks like they are cutting back as everything is well over priced & very poor quality!! Iam a local of clitheroe & been here a few times & everytime is worse and worse! The food from the dog menue even made my dog throw up ! If you want quality decent fresh food with big portions id advise to go to calfs head its much better ,cheaper & fantastic quality food! This place needs to re look at what they are doing & get a proper chef especially with the prices you are charging its disgusting!!!

Fantastic meal yesterday (16th Aug) to celebrate my 40th birthday. Chef Callum and the rest of the team went above and beyond my expectations to provide a really lovely birthday meal. I shared the sharing platter and it was fantastic. Friendly and chatty staff always on hand to support. We will definitely be returning

5 star service , foods great . Worth a visit . Thankyou again

Wonderful an old style country pub with a fantastic modern feel. 10 out of 10. Staff the best I’ve come across. A guaranteed boss evening

Can’t recommend this place enough, great food, the staff are friendly and attentive service was on point. If you’re looking for a nice family pub this is a winner.

Lovely friendly pub with great food. Good choice of food and great portions. Staff were friendly and helpful giving assistance when I couldn't make up my mind. Can't wait to go again

Food was lovely tasting but not worth £32.50 sharing platter price. One fish cake and 3 prawns plus other fish bits doesn’t share between two and we had to get chips extra £5!. The meal was worth £20 at best and a bottle of wine is an overpriced £30. Hence why place was empty on a Friday afternoon. Won’t be returning. Run by young adults who were all lovely btw. Shame as nice looking pub.

Great place a drink and food. Staff were friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go again.

Service and food was outstanding, staff was polite and welcoming, the place was very clean and up to its standards, food come out on time and freshly made could not point out one bad thing, will 100% be returning

Visited Edisford Bridge last week. Due to a miscommunication I had to send my meal back. The staff and manager were really accommodating. Could not do more to rectify the issue. Meal turned out to be lovely. Plan on going back soon

Fantastic pub, friendly staff and amazing food! We have been coming to the edisford for years and since its most recent refurb the place is only gettibg better and better !

Staying at the campsite next door so booked a table. Good choice of food. Hubby had the steak & ale pie which was delicious & I had the small plate of garlic mushrooms. Well presented & very tasty, good quality. Both of us had a desert, sticky toffee pudding & the cheesecake- delicious. Staff friendly & attentive & didn’t have long to wait for our food

Popped in just for food as I have run Marstons pubs myself, so I thought it would be good. I had the honey chicken wings which were so salty I nearly drank edisford bridge river dry. My husbands starter was the same and he left it. After being put in a dark corner, even though the pub was nearly empty, we made our way to the bar to be met by the most unhappiest bar maid I have ever seen. She looked so scruffy and and it was the sour look on her face that made our decision just to have starters. When we arrived at the pub, there was empty glasses outside, these where still there when we left, even though the scruffy tattooed barmaid was doing nothing apart from making herself look more miserable and twiddling her thumbs behind the bar. She could have been, stocking fridges, wiping tables down, wiping the beer spills down off the bar etc, but she just stood there looking down right miserable. There was lip stick on my wine glass and my husbands pint was flat due to the lazy scruffy barmaid putting it in a warm glass. Apparently this wasn't the case. "The glass had just been washed". So it will obviously still be wet and warm. I really think you need to use less salt in your food and also train your bar staff how to wash glasses, pour a proper pint and put a smile on there face and dress in appropriate manner. We will not be visiting again.

Poor quality food at expensive prices, gammon tough, chips look warm and dry, two eggs one broken and hard the other just hard, side salad warm and full of chopped bits? No leaves, no steak knife or condiments brought to table, no one asked about meal. We live and learn.

We waited an hour for food and it wasn’t busy. My portion of chips was small and had off cuts of fries in them so I asked for more as my meal was almost £20. The chips they brought out were also small and they added £4.50 onto the bill for them. I wouldn’t have minded the wait however if service is slow customers should be told upon entry there is an hour wait for food. Compared to other places in the area it was disappointing in terms of the food, price and service. Such a shame as I’m local and really wanted it to be good. I’d go again for a drink, just not for food.

The food was perfect, all four of us enjoyed what we ordered, I'd definitely recommend going here, dog friendly, water on tap for them. 😊

First time visit and won’t be back. Service very slow and unprofessional, food tasteless, overcooked and saturated in oil. Very disappointed and expensive for what you get.

Lovely meal and service for the two of us, would recommend 👍

Had a fantastic dinner again at the Edisford. Lovely efficient staff and good food enjoyed in good company

Nice pub, fairly basic food for the price. Very friendly staff, and great beer garden

Really nice place, dog friendly. Food & beer was good if not slightly pricey (in my eyes). Would have been a 5/5 if it was under £15 for an ale and a sandwich.

Lovely cosy pub. We walked here with the dogs from the caravan site over the bridge. Was instantly made to feel welcome. We didn't eat whilst we were here but the food smelt delightful. Edit. We have just been back to Clitheroe for the weekend and came here to eat both evenings. It was that good the first night we came back the next night. The food is as good as it smelt the first time we visited. You most definitely won't be dissapointed.

Delicious meal . We had the special of the dsy which was worthy of a fine dining experience foodie heaven . Perfectly cooked duck on a bed of well seasoned savoy cabbage . The excellent addition of plum red wine jus celeriac puree and poratoes buttered to perfection . With the extras that titillated all taste buds . We finished with a delcious sour cherry 🍒 bakewell tart . The pastry was excellent 👌 this chef knows his stuff

A wonderful first visit! Food was absolutely fantastic, but more importantly for me, the level of help for me, on crutches, was outstanding, from initial booking to overseeing my experience on the day. Everyone was extremely helpful and attentive throughout my family visit. Definitely a go-to lunch stop! Great service all round.

After breaking down late at night hannah was really helpful in letting us wait for the recovery and looking after us and our 2 children what a great friendly atmosphere thank you so much it was really appreciated

A mixed bag meal today. Disappointed that the steak and Ale pie was actually not a real pie just a pastry crust and the steak pudding wasn't on the menu. The roast potatoes were very disappointing (I left mine), but I've got to say the gravy and vegetables were lovely and the sticky toffee pudding and ice cream was gorgeous but not enough of it.

Went tonight as a family , service was fab and food superb, thankyou xxx

We had made a special request for lunch before arriving and Jamie remembered and sorted everything for us, even though the pub was extremely busy. The bar staff were very polite and friendly and served everyone as quickly as possible. Beautiful sunny day, sat in the garden being entertained. Fabulous locatio too.

A lovely friendly old English pub serving beautiful food 👍💖 Dog friendly too 🦮 What more can you ask for!!! 💕 We will definitely be visiting again 🥳

Amazing food and great service thanks to the new management who also own The Black Bull, Langho. We planned to eat here so beforehand we took our dogs for a walk up the path next to the river which runs next to the pub then treat ourselves to some food and we were not disappointed. The pub was run down and the new management have been asked to save it and already changes have been made. Some exciting plans over the next couple of weeks but this now is certainly going to be a place we frequent when walking in the area. Looking at the time of writing this the most recent reviews it seems others will be doing the same 👍🏻

We visited as a family and were made to feel welcome. We ordered a 2 course meal and each dish was really tasty, nicely presented and service was excellent.

Brilliant!! We are local and have been waiting for someone to bring this hotel back to life. We went for early evening meal and were definitely not disappointed. Service and attention were excellent and food quality superb. It’s back on the map and we will be returning.

Amazing. It was really busy and had to wait 45 mins but it was well worth the wait. Sometimes we want everything NOW. Have some patience and wait trust me it's worth it. Great atmosphere and value for money. Well done to the new owners and we will be back Jonte and Mike

7th april 2024 Lovley food the best roast dinner ever ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lovely place , very friendly staff

Since the new owners have taken over we have seen a massive improvement at the Edisford Bridge pub. The food was simply delicious. I had the cauliflower pakoras and my husband had the roast chicken. The decor has also improved, it is warm and cosy. We will definitely be going back again and again.

Can't wait to see this pub grow under the new management of Becky and Jamie. What a fabulous new venture. Really enjoyed our first visit.

Absolutely delicious roast sirloin lunch.Very good portion size and a beautifully cooked piece of beef. The service was great too. Looks like the Edisford is finally back on its feet . What a lovely surprise when we finished our meal some chocolates,ice cream and a bunch of daffodils.Good luck in your latest venture ,we will definitely be returning to our local again soon

£18.00 Ok Lancashire pie Tinned beans Raw chips £20.00 Batter, not much fish. Cold mushy peas Raw chips This was not good value for money. We won't be going back. In January we came all the way from Manchester for a meal here... it's a same. The young lady who served us was very good.

Disappointed is to say the least. We originally had a booking for Valentine’s Day, was then messaged to be told the ‘chef was ill’, they had to cancel our booking and offered us a free complimentary meal which we rebooked in for. We’ve turned up today for our complimentary meal to be told ‘there was a gas leak and they had to close the kitchen and she thought she had contacted everyone’ in which she didn’t contact us at all or we wouldn’t have turned up!! There was apology or offer to rebook us in, I had to mention about rebooking in. Extremely disappointed.

Sunday Lunch with friends before a drive back to the Midlands. Beautiful part of the country and a great spot. Main course was lovely although we were awaiting gravy. Then we ordered desserts but two items were off the menu. It took a while to be told this so most of our group decided against dessert in the end. I had a ‘rocky road sundae’ on the specials menu that honestly was badly put together with a bit of cake, icy ‘ice-cream’, cream and marshmallows. Our server understood and kindly offered to take some money off the cost. I felt though that it was not the server’s fault. She seemed to be being pulled in lots of directions. I really felt like she was trying her best but her manager didn’t seem to be talking to her very nicely. I understand that I only saw a snapshot but it just made me feel uncomfortable and I felt quite sorry for her. I’m not sure if there are staffing issues or it was a bad day but it has put me off returning. Sorry

Walk in Sunday Lunch. * rating based on price point. The food was very good. .c£15 for a Roast Dinner, quantity and quality was good, with a thick slab of beef. Atmosphere is based in the need for a bit of redecoration and refresh. Service was friendly but not enough people on the bar resulting in a wait for drinks. Dog Friendly, plenty of parking and outdoors areas.

This is a proper good pub, with two out of the four handpumps operational. Wainwright's Gold and Hobgoblin on tap. The beer was on form and well kept, obviously clean lines. We called for lunch with our two dogs and were made very welcome and she kindly pointed out the area's where dogs were permitted. A good choice on the menu, my wife opted for the hot beef baguette with chips and side salad, I had the trio of sausages on a bed of mash with a rich gravy. Both were delicious and we thought good value. We found it a warm and friendly pub and will be going back again before the end of our holiday.

What a fantastic pub and restaurant. Food is delicious. Staff are very friendly. Prices reasonable. Lovely and clean.

Called in after a long walk and decided to have some food and so glad we did. We had garlic mushroom starter which was lovely and a roast lamb dinner and mushroom stroganoff both fantastic and good size portions. Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend a visit

Super pub with a fantastic landlady

Called in today with my daughter for some food, WOW, no sooner had we walked through the door we were asked if it was food or drinks by an ill dressed ( scruffy looking woman ), we sat in what they called a restaurant 🤔, the table was filthy, yet it had just opened 🤷‍♂️, as staff all smartly dressed I must say started arriving for there shift it was carnage do this do that do as I say etc etc, my daughter who is well travelled in the front of house trade commenting she needs to go upstairs and stay there, looking round the place was filthy and very tired, we won’t be returning , plenty more eating houses in the ribble valley .

Had a family meal here yesterday, oh my god it was amazing…! I should have took more pictures for you guys but it looked so good, we were hungry and it just went down the hatch. We ordered a sirloin steak, gammon steak, bacon and cheese burger and from the specials a spicy buttermilk Cajun burger. All of them absolutely fantastic. On the specials was honey coated chipolatas, so I had to get some on the side, they were awesome too. Everything was fantastic but I have to give a special shout out to the chips! I seriously think they might have been the best chips I’ve ever tasted. Being able sit in front of the fire for our meal was really nice and cosy. Absolutely amazing, will definitely be back soon 👍🏻

Visited this evening for tea. Staff were very welcoming and really pleasant. Absolutely delicious pub food and good value. Will definitely return soon

Traditional pub , home made food was excellent, very pleasant and helpful staff . Owner/ Manager lovely person very welcoming.

Me and the hubby Decided to stop on our way home for "a drink" we had our two daughters who decided they were hungry, it was hitting teatime so decided to ask for a menu. The pub was reasonably quite with what looked like locals standing at the bar. We were quickly seated and two lovely girls took our food order. The food arrived pipping hot and did not disappoint, four clean plates at the end, will definatly return when we are next in the area.

Very dog friendly - lovely open fire - better to book ahead if you can - food looked good and tasted even better !

A brisk walk in the cold down to Edisford Bridge - the ducks look like they are enjoying the weather!

Dirty, the carpet looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in 20 years tables were all sticky, chairs must have been there since the 1950’s. Let before even ordering food it was that bad

We called in with our grandson for a bite to eat I had the salt and pepper chicken strips to share and they were very tasty our grandson had the garlic mushrooms which again were very tasty for a main he had the burger which he really enjoyed my wife and I has the sirloin I had mine blue and it was cooked to perfection the portions were generous and the staff were polite and friendly I would definitely recommend a visit here with drinks 2 cokes 2G&T 1 beer and a blackcurrant and soda the bill came to £109 which I found very reasonable

There were six of us celebrating our silver wedding anniversary, we all enjoyed it very much.

This a good place to meet friends travelling through Clitheroe. The food was good and the service friendly.

Really delicious food, excellent friendly service in great surroundings. The pub section was lively too , with a really good experience and at a reasonable price.

Came here with a camping group, booked end of August, sadly booking wasn't sent through to new manager. She said she'd fit us in 17 of us. Asked us to pre ordered food in the morning. Came for dinner and only 16 places not a problem but a bit squashed. Service was excellent, one young waitress on and she was amazing.... Food was excellent and they worked really hard for us in a busy pub.... Come to pay and the bill on some of the food was more expensive than then menu said. 12.95 for a steak pudding and was charged 18.... 6.25 for started and was charged 6.95 Questioned and she said it was a larger pudding however we weren't informed. She precessed to say...you pre-ordered and I accommodated you! She said the puddings were bigger and not regular size and if we hadn't pre ordered she would have told us...our bill ended up £15 more expensive than we expected over the group. She said she'd knock off the deserts for the two couples who had been charged extra which she did but when I paid the balance and got a receipt they were still on there. We spent around £700 between us all in the pub over the whole weekend... So am undone she tried to con us. Sad really as the food and service were so good.

Ordered the steak pudding and was told ‘oh it’s the last one and it’s a large’ - thought we’d got lucky with the last one being a large, anyway paid the bill and left and realised we’d overpaid. Steak pudding on the menu was £12.95. Rang up and asked for a breakdown of the prices on our bill and was told the pudding was £18.95 because we’d ordered a large. Erm no, we didn’t. You told us the last pudding was a large. At no point were we told about the additional cost. Firstly, not even worth £18.95. Secondly was just told ‘sorry’ no offer to come back in and get our extra £5! Bit shady that to not even say ‘the last pudding we have is a large but is an extra £5 is that ok?’ Also the chips on both our meals were undercooked, pale and hard.

Only went for sandwiches this time round, but that club sandwich was 👌🏻 chicken was properly chargrilled, tasted amazing, can’t wait to try a steak if that’s how good the chicken tastes. And check out them onion rings 💪🏻 Friendly service, excellent food, log fire, good value… its a 5 from me 👍🏻

Lovely sandwich and great staff.

Very friendy pub ordered gammon . The food was very good however the pineapple missing when I asked about it told they were stock taking same with the mayo and the vinger ,stock taking 😕

Food great quality service pretty good if a little amateurish ,it's a pub and atmosphere reflects this

Have to say Saturday had a great night with the rugby showing followed by a cracking singer. The staff are so friendly and the homemade beef burger was spot on. Will revisit.

Called in for food @ 7:30pm on a Saturday evening with my wife and 10 year old son. Greeted with stares from customers, clearly we were not “Local” or “Regulars” Someone appeared upon entry to which I asked if they had a table for food. The gentleman then said we’re not serving food at moment, he then saw me glance around the room (People were eating!) He then said we’ve run out. I got the impression we just weren’t welcome. Disappointed as we drove to the venue.

Took our two young (5 & 7) Nieces whilst camping and the service and food were wonderful. Very friendly gentleman behind the bar and the young girl who took our order for food and drinks were great with the girls. Steak pie was very meaty and plentiful and my wifes fish and chips went down well as did sausage and chips & Pizza for the kids. Beer & Guiness just as you like it, and all good value. Recommended.

Great place for a swift pint...walked from the caravan site just over the river

Had a fabulous meal for a small birthday party. Food was excellent. The tomahawk steak was just perfect. Service was brilliant too. Can't wait to go back.

Had a meal and a few drinks, got speaking to some locals and had a great night. Food, drinks and service very good and friendly staff.

We had three delicious meals for lunch from the light bite menu and were pleasantly surprised to see steak and gammon there. The staff member was very friendly and dog friendly. We sat indoors which was nice, clean and warm. Our Rossy dog also enjoyed his sausage. Lovely area too close to the river

Food was very good and the staff excellent. The only problem was we wanted to eat in the pub side and not the restaurant side . But there where dogs everywhere and a large dog came to sit by us with its owners and it smelt . We therefore moved into the restaurant ( not our choice of sitting) The pub used to have dogs by the bar or in the wooden floor small area. Not in the main rooms . Bit disappointed

We stayed at a near by caravan park for 2 night, bobbed in for a few drink last night. We did not have food but what was coming out looked lovely. The manager behind the bar was amazing and made us feel so welcome, the locals we got chatting to where so lovely too. Amazing , friendly ,cozy, old school country pub. We well definitely be back.
