Food by Breda Murphy in Ribble Valley

Fantastic, delicious food. A little expensive though, but worth every penny.

Absolutely wonderful shop, staff and food. The best place to go in Whalley if you want some really good quality food to buy. I would certainly recommend the fish pie!

We have had Breda Murphys food in the past years which has always been fantastic, however, the Beef Bourguignon this week, bought for a friend’s get together was absolutely fabulous, so very tasty and easy to prepare after work… perfect… Then the Sticky Toffee Pudding was delicious, yum yum 😋 THANK YOU BREDA👍🙂

This is my 1st visit to the new shop / deli, so could be on its way to 5 stars for me. I had visited the restaurant which Breda previously had, this would also have attracted 4 or 5 stars from me. New place is small but fabulous. Currently take away only. Ready meals quite a small but adequate selection, Artisan breads, cakes, coffee etc., more does not always mean better! Definitely worth a visit and too much for me to say, so I would suggest a visit to the web site and the shop. My review is based on the quality not the quantity.

Staying in the area. Recommended, hence visited for lunch and I used the shop. Couldn’t fault the owners and staff. Fabulous food and service. For me, personally I prefer to eat in an adult environment and spoilt with crying babies making a huge mess on the floor and table. It would put me off visiting again

This a beautiful restaurant using local, seasonal ingredients to make wonderfully flavoured and presented dishes. The service and food were both excellent and although we don’t live locally I would love to visit again. They also have a deli and home food service which seemed very popular. Do yourself a favour and check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely lovely restaurant, serving some fantastic food - and a really great Sunday Roast !! Remarkable in every respect (food, service, ambience and value for money) and definitely worth a visit.

Breda and team provided my guests and I with a fabulous buffet as part of my 60th birthday celebrations. Food was beautifully presented and delicious and absolutely met all expectations. Would recommend without hesitation.

Food and Service very good and very reasonably priced. Wine list a bit limited but overall a great dining experience. Can't wait for our next visit. Dining room was a bit cold but we have had a week of sub zero temperatures.

We have been coming here for lunch on a Thursday for many years now, although recently we have been limited as the establishment has not always been open on that day of the week. We try to visit twice a year, as despite there being many great restaurants in the Ribble Valley and surrounding area, this is our favourite. Today (08 December) we enjoyed one of the very best luncheons that we have been treated to by Breda. Our choices for starters were Ham Hock Croquette with parsley and wholegrain mustard, celeriac remoulade and watercress and apple salad. My friend had the treacle cured salmon, beetroot pickle with lemongrass and ginger puree. The dishes were very good (mine) and excellent (my friend). Main courses were Venison haunch steak, celeriac mash, baby onions, parsnip crisps and a redcurrant and port jus. With this I had a side of roast winter vegetables. My friend had Roast turkey breast, ballotine of leg, herb stuffing, cranberry tartlet, sage jus and traditional garnish. The venison was amazing while the turkey was rated as a very good choice. For dessert I had Chocolate cremeaux, brandy soaked prunes with cocoa nib tuille while my friend had stem ginger pudding, honeycombe butterscotch with vanilla ice cream. Both of these were utterly fabulous, and my friend thought his was one of the very best desserts he has ever had in a restaurant! If while reading this your mouth is watering - so it should - for we both gave our selections an excellent 29/30!! We will be talking about this exquisite meal for a long time to come (hopefully!) Service was really excellent as always here and we are already looking forward to our next visit in 2023, if there is a Thursday availability. Once again we have no hesitation in recommending Food By Breda Murphy. It is a real gem.....

A very enjoyable 3 course evening meal. We were recommended Breda's by a regular, and I have to say we were not disappointed. We will be back without hesitation.

Excellent service and delicious food. Nice atmosphere and comfortable. Traditional Sunday lunch was good value for money with generous portions and a good choice of main courses.

Wow… after spending a lovely day at Bolton Abby we wanted to finish off the day with a lovely meal. And, We were not disappointed. We had never been before and on the debrief on the way home…. It was 10 out 10 . From the beautiful tender Venison to the perfectly cooked steak. The only point that you scored bad (9:5) was there were too much chocolate brownie. However,we weren’t complaining for too long… From the attentive staff to the lovely atmosphere . It was a lovely night . Also , it was pleasure to see waiting staff using tea-towels to carry the hot plates . Fantastic in every way. Well done to all

Breda Murphys never fails to impress us. We love the food there! The staff are amazing too. Absolutely delicious and really good portion sizes. Very very reasonable prices for such fantastic food. Always a great night there. We must try the Sunday lunch next, looks amazing too. Also, Great 👍🏽 comfortable seating, and this goes a long way for our old bones. A definite winner in our book. One of the best restaurants in the Ribble valley by far! If you haven’t tried it yet you really should, you won’t be disappointed .

I’ve just been for the first time for lunch and it was the molten brown discount event also from start to end we weren’t disappointed. Upon arrival we called into the pantry and bought some food to takeaway but as we were dining first we left it with the lovely gentleman serving we then purchased some molten brown toiletries then sat down to a beautiful lunch. Everything from staff to food and service was beautiful we couldn’t fault it we’ll definitely be back

Nice food especially the Irish cake, the cheeses, the roast potatoes and delicious steak...the puddings are yummy also!

Took the mother for a lunch, we weren't really hungry but my hubby and I keep driving past this place on the way to our lodge and I wanted to try it. Lovely, well decorated. Polite staff. Kept it simple and ordered fish pie. It came with seasoned greens. Well that fish pie was hotter than the core of Vesuvius. Anyway I eventually tasted it and it was delicious. Perfect. Will be back with an empty belly to do the menu justice.

We popped in for lunch and the food was delicious , the service was fabulous and the price just right. The ham hock croquette starter looked fab even to a veggie & the fish pie was to die for!!

The meal we had here tonight was truly stunning. The pork was beautifully cooked and couldn't have been more tender, and the seafood goujons were simply gorgeous. The staff were really attentive and the spacing between courses was just right. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Had friends staying from Norfork who are Vegan with no Oil. Spoke to Breda a couple of days before they arrived with regard to going for Sunday lunch. The menu the team produced was excellent our friends described the food has outstanding simply Delicious. From the food and wine to the service and the atmosphere a !st class Sunday lunch. High Recommended

Only one criticism . The pork was not as tender as it should have been unfortunately and the paprika chips were too spindly thin which somewhat spoiled my main meal..

From start to finish our recent experience at Breda's restaurant was top notch. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the menu was full of dishes I wanted to try. I settled on the duck croquette for starters followed by sea bass for the mains and creme brulee for dessert. How they make greens taste so good is beyond me. A fabulous meal - highly recommended.

A huge thank you to Breda and the team for making my ‘big’ birthday celebrations extra special. Excellent food and wine, outstanding service and such a lovely venue. Nothing was too much trouble and all my particular requirements were catered for. Every one of my guests thoroughly enjoyed it. I would highly recommend Breda Murphy’s if you’re planning a special event.

Such a good choice for a special birthday gathering. Fabulous menu and food was gorgeous and well presented. Lovely welcome by professional, friendly staff who were very attentive but unobtrusive. Breda did us proud again. A really fabulous, fun and relaxing experience. Thank you.

Our first visit - wow! Excellent service, beautiful atmosphere and delicious food..couldn’t fault it and can’t wait to return.

Stopped in here the other day for lunch having not visited before and we were absolutely bowled over. The food here is fantastic - we had a really great lunch and the service was also excellent and it's a really nice place to spend time....

Fab fish and chips - also served with peas in any shape or form

Brilliant "home cooked" food, lovely restaurant welcoming helpful service, I will definitely return.

We had a fab lunch here. The service was brilliant, the food was fantastic, we had scallops, salmon, roast beef mains and sticky toffee and creme brûlée to finish. All was excellent

The PERFECT way to spend your Saturday. The food was gorgeous and the service couldn't be improved upon 🙌

Fabulous food, empty plates, attentive staff, great service and great value too. A fabulous early evening 3 course meal for two, thank you!

My wife and I booked here for Sunday lunch. We didn't know what to expect as you can't believe everything a website says. When drove by and saw the outside we were a bit pesimestic but when we went in it was wow this is...

Unexpected treat as my husband decided to take us out to lunch. What a little gem this place is, tucked away in a corner just by the railway bridge. Fabulous food, excellent service and beautiful surroundings and atmosphere. The Sunday lunch menu seemed expensive, £28 for 2 courses. However, you get what you pay for. The starter and main course were both delicious well presented and perfectly cooked. The meal was one of the most delicious meals I have eaten out in a long time.

Been before but as always excellent food- very busy as large party in but staff great at keeping us informed and very attentive. Food superb Two friends with us - not been before but want to visits again. Thank you for a lovely meal in...

The Parlour at Breda Murphy's serve restaurant standard food on the go. All made in-house: Soups, sandwiches, pies, quiches, sausage rolls, breads, cakes, plus a whole range of amazing frozen meals and high quality gifts. Love it here!

Excellent Christmas dinner! And ace carol singers thrown in! Thank you

Food and ambiance was amazing. Staff is friendly. Good collection of liquor.

Wow We have been wanting to dine here for a few years ever since we discovered the joys of this area Finally today we were able to eat here and we were not disappointed The food the service and the atmosphere were all lovely. The...

It was one of the tastiest Sunday lunches I've ever had in a restaurant, even in london. It was a very generous portion with so many different veg dishes, but most importantly they were all cooked perfectly which is hard to find with roast dinners in restaurants. And the lamb and beef were so tender and cooked perfectly. The restaurant itself has a very homely feel and the owner is lovely. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Lancashire, but in the mean time the hampers look like a great Christmas option.

Just had a fantastic meal at this lovely restaurant, cannot praise it enough, staff were very professional and polite, and the decor is lovely will certainly be returning,

Perfect venue , delicious food .Perfect for a celebration. Look forward to going again. Staff very attentive , you couldn't wish for more .

Superb deco, friendly staff and a welcoming drink and nibbles before being seated. We both had the black pudding led croquettes to start. Then we had the ballotine of chicken and sirloin steak (shared!) followed by a tasty dessert all accompanied with a Malbec. All...

Great food, great atmosphere and service.

Have been here several times. Always great choice on the menu. Friendly superb service to accompany extremely good tasting food. As good as any other good restaurant in the area - very lucky to have this place on our doorstop. A must.

Excellent food at Breda Murphy’s again. We both had the same this time. With a pate with treacle soda bread followed by steak and proper chips. It was all excellent. My wife eats gluten free which was no problem for them but there was no...

Super place, small and intimate but well spaced, Breda very welcoming, lovely fresh food, well worth a visit, would definitely book in advance

Fantastic Sunday lunch today💕💕 would highly recommend 💕💕 we even bought an Irish fruit loaf home for our parents which went down very well 💕💕 we will definitely visit again 💕💕

Beautiful food, beautiful decor and excellent service. First time visiting and will certainly will be back. I had the Gnocchi and my wife had the seabass we would highly recommend! Oh and the truffle oil and Parmesan fires.

Looks lovely but it was closed on Sunday at 1400. The hours need updating

Went here for Saturday night dinner with my partner Carol. The food was delicious would certainly recommend.

Excellent food and excellent service. If you appreciate fine dining visiting here is a must.

Can’t understand why this restaurant has no Michelin Star. Every dish is a candidate for Masterchef. Service also superb. We had a misunderstanding over an out-of-date menu - all our fault - but the chef was polite, understanding and even threw in some wine to...

One of the best meals I've had, everything was delicious, will definitely come back.

After reading the positive reviews here we were looking forward to our dinner. The restaurant room is light and pleasantly decorated and with 'dinner jazz' playing it's a pleasant space in which to eat. For the price band it occupies, the hospitality was lacking. No...

Shared the takeaway Thai Green Chicken curry with my husband last night. Both ate in silence. Eventually I said to my husband “this is probably one of the worst meals I have ever had”. He looked up and replied “it’s awful, the chicken is tough, the potato is hard and the ‘sauce’ is a joke - it’s watery and disgusting”. We cook - a lot - and eat out a lot - and know good food- and this is really not good. We bought a couple of the ready meals because we were in the area and our extractor fan has broken, our kitchen is newly decorated and so are avoiding cooking. There is a also Beef Bourguignon in the freezer - I have a feeling it will stay there for a while.

Went for Sunday lunch. Food excellent but shocked at the price. £20 for fish pie or roast chicken and £11 for a glass of wine seems over the top. I don't mind paying for good food but I don't like to be ripped off. Won't be going back to pay these extortionate prices.

Excellent top restaurant very friendly efficient staff

The food was really lovely. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal and couldn’t fault anything. Classic and simple but very delicious, we all had three courses of beautiful food and highly recommend.

Another excellent Ribble Valley eatery to add to our favourite list. The food was exquisite, full of intense flavours. The cured salmon starter was delicious, as was the three cuts of pork in the main. As for the chocolate mousse desert, it was heavenly. Not...

I bought a jar of pickled red chillies to take away. One would assume that the major taste would be chilli rather than sugar. If you buy pickled chillies, that’s the taste you want. A horrible product which is sitting in the bin now.

We were given a voucher for our 50th wedding anniversary last year and have only just managed to book a table for our 51st anniversary. We both had gin cured salmon to start, delicious but it needed some Irish wheaten bread and butter to finish...

We had friends from Yorkshire staying over, so decided on something different. Never having visited Breda Murphy before thought we'd give it a try. All I can say is, it definitely didn't dissapoint, the food was excellent, for starters, beetroot salmon, we had Brenda's fish...

Just had a Saturday family lunch. What a fantastic experience. I always say,'when I eat out I want a meal which is cooked even Better than I can cook myself'. Today I had the experience I wanted. We all four had a beautiful meal.. Two...

The menu tells you immediately that this food is made to order. The welcome tells you immediately that this is a place where customers are valued. Then the food tells you that this is somewhere very special. Every member of staff who we met where...

Lucky enough to call past after being out for a walk and they had availability on Saturday afternoon. All I can say is, it was delicious! Will definitely be back, but will book ahead this time to ensure we get a table. Definitely worth a visit, highly recommend!

Lunch at Breda's was a lovely experience. Especially enjoyed the pork belly; my wife enjoyed the cod. We both loved the vanilla creme brulee with gooseberries. Novel outdoor dining at this strange time.

Taste, style, quality, Breda Murphy has it all. Friday night chippy tea was an extra special treat; crisp batter with steamed fish inside, gorgeous chips, mushy peas and home-made tartar sauce. The best Friday night chippy tea in 40 years.

Absolutely divine, I had a takeaway pannini and I'm a foodie but this place knocked the socks off of me! Absolutely phenomenal and VIP treatment

Temporarily shut of course the shop and deli remains open and Breda does wonderful takeaway food which you can't beat. Really friendly service too. Five stars plus....

Lovely restaurant, great food and service.

Delicious freshly prepared food with a warm welcome. Never disappointed! Monkfish scampi starter with a Turbot served in champagne sauce

Had a really good lunch today, food and service were amazing. I had heard good things about the offer and they genuinely delivered. We will certainly be back. A little hug at a stressful time. (virtual of course 🙄)

Great place and gorgeous food 🤗🤗🤗

Ate here on 12th September in the evening. Nice atmosphere and welcoming staff. Relatively short menu, but well thought out. Excellent arancini, duck and halibut. It’s a pleasure eating here.

Late lunch as a birthday treat. 3 courses each - beautifully presented . Tasty Arancini - I could have eaten them again ! Gnocchi for a main - freshly made with summer veg & Parmesan cream - delicious. Creme brûlée for dessert - could have...

We had heard so much about this restaurant so we booked for our anniversary. Unfortunately we felt really deflated. It did not live up to its award winning status. Unless waiting nearly an hour for a starter of pate and toast is considered acceptable if...

Absolutely excellent. We both has 3 courses and all the elements were delicious and the staff were lovely. Their effort to keep diners and staff safe during Covid is outstanding. We were using vouchers purchased as a gift at Chrismas'19 and they froze the date on them to be used once they re-opened after lockdown. I don't usually write reviews but felt the experience was worth mentioning to others as we would highly recommend a visit.

The food is good and the service is lovely

First visit, first class. Patrick's night menu with discreet music. The place was packed but the service was flawless. Short but well chosen wine list. Couldn't find fault anywhere. Looking forward to next visit, soon.

The food was fantastic, the staff were great, cant wait to go back 10 out of 10

Celebrating a friends birthday with 9 girlfriends. Fantastic live music. Fabulous atmosphere. Fantastic service and food to die for!! Would highly recommend!! Thanks so much for a fantastic night to Breda x

Yet again fantastic lunch you cannot fault the food or the people that look after you if anyone deserves to do well it’s Breda and team

Great food and 1st class service. Lovely venue for afternoon tea with friends or an intimate evening meal.

Celebrating a friends birthday with 9 girlfriends. Fantastic Live music . Great atmosphere. Fantastic service. Food to die for!! Would highly recommend!!

Good food spoiled by poor service main course warm veg served to late had eaten meat spoiled at good meal

Really good food, excellent value for money, great decor and friendly efficient staff

We took our parents and children to Breda Murphy on a wet and windy Sunday to celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary. The food, wine and service were exceptional. Thank you to Breda and her team for making our celebration very special.

Excellent food, friendly service, delicious gin. Plenty of room around and on the table, which is a lovely change from often-cramped restaurants. Everything was delicious - enjoyed in a relaxed, convivial atmosphere.

Really good food nicely presented and very tasty. Service good although waited quite a long time for drinks order. We like plenty of time between courses so this was perfect for us. Not a criticism but there could have been a little more choice on the menu and disappointingly there was only one steak left so I had the belly pork - which I have to say was delicious. Starter, main course and pudding all enjoyed, by everyone. A good choice if Christmas presents.We will return

Had the pleasure of a Valentine meal at Breda’s. The standard of the food was superb but the their USP is they make you feel like family - a rare gift - and not contrived, totally genuine...this is a hidden gem in the Ribble Valley. Restaurants like this deserve our support- thank you for a perfect evening.

Thank you so much for making our daughters 21st special (amongst all the valentines diners). The food & service was good although had to knock a star off as my partner found bits of shell in his vol au vont! Didnt want to mention although I know we should have but didnt want to make a fuss for our daughters sake. But all in all everything was tasty & well prepared. We will defo be back. Thank you

On the edge of the town of Whalley in Lancashire, the food is first class. The food is cooked to order and the service is very good.

First visit to Breda Murphy for the Jazz dinner with Jeremy Sassoon on vocals and keyboardsVery friendly staff, went out of their way to explain how certain items were cooked.Good service throughout our meal and the food was creative and delicious. The chef produced some great dishes.Just wish we could pick it up and relocate it to Manchester and we would be regular customers!

La comida era de excelente calidad y un enfoque diferente en algunos platos para la mayoría de los restaurantes. Prueba el entrante de salmón ahumado! Volveremos muy pronto, nos encantó. Queremos probar un día de música la próxima vez. Gracias a todos. Yvonne Weatherhead M.B.E.

Try the smoked salmon starter! We will be back very soon we absolutely loved it.We want to try a music day next time. Thank you to all. Yvonne Weatherhead M.B.E.

We’ve lived within 15 miles for years & worked across the road for 10! This resto serves up goog old fashioned traditional British grub. I guess aimed at RV oldies judging by the car park being full of Chelsea tractors. The resto was packed!Many oldies, even older than us!!! £220 for four. The staff were great, food quality just like our home cooking! Except salt strewn fish, why do so many restos make that decision go you? Wasn’t edgy enough for me! Shame no more “specials” to experiment with! Nothing at all wrong with the place, a winning formula enjoyed by their regs!

Fab meals: beautiful sea bass with a gorgeous sauce, new potatoes and long stem broccoli, and poached salmon & salad open sandwiches with homemade dishes of chips as a side: everyone of us loved our meals as much as last time, also the homemade soup and delicious desserts - sticky toffee pudding and bread and butter pudding.

I wanted to write and thank all the staff at Breda Murphy's for a wonderful evening to celebrate my birthday on 11th Jan 2020. From the minute we entered your restaurant we were all made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The food as usual was outstanding. Nothing was rushed and everything was organised to perfection. It is a birthday I will remember. My sons would like the recipe for the birthday cake you made so that I can try to make it.Thank you.

I've just been for Sunday lunch as a present for my birthday. Had some delicious soup to start . Sea bream for the main, with superb cauliflower cheese . Dessert was a very chocolatey torte . Service was extremely polite which I really like . All in all an excellent birthday present . Couldn't fault it .
