Gallery Kitchen in Hyndburn

Visited with my parents . Food is excellent , I would compare the quality of the food with The White Bull / Britannia which always receives rave reviews . If you are in the area I would heartily recommend .

Poor service to begin with, afternoon tea consisted of 2 sandwiches ie 1 finger size and the other a square postage stamp ham sandwich actually shocked that this was all we got. Slither of quiche and sausage roll which were tasty. Coffee served with no teaspoon and noone in sight so used other end of my knife to stir. Scone and other small desserts good but still havent got over the sandwiches which you wouldnt even give to a small child. Gave my comments when i paid as i think its good feedback. Wouldnt go again for the price paid 😞

Held our golden wedding anniversary celebration here last night . Everyone commented how amazing buffet was . Many thanks to all staff. Can highly recommend it.

Beautiful location for a wedding! Thank you to Simon and team for making our wedding extra special, the food and venue was perfect and communication was easy and uncomplicated. Simon was happy to accommodate our needs from opening on a Monday (when they are usually closed) to organizing champagne in the proper glasses. The price is super reasonable as well which was surprising given the quality! Thank you :)

Thank you for a lovely GF & Dairy free afternoon tea, in fact the second I've had in a few weeks, much appreciated Simon & Team. 😊😊

Lovely food and very nice staff

Attended our sons wedding here and the Gallery kitchen catered. Food was excellent and portion sizes sufficient. Would definitely return for a lunch

Following an initial difficulty with booking we went twice in April and am looking forward to further visits. Lovely food in a beautiful and well appointed dining room. Service courteous efficient and friendly. The wine list has interesting offerings.

Beautiful place, lovely people and delicious food, will definitely be visiting again.

Great value, quality and well presented food. Couldn't ask for much more except for opening in the evenings perhaps?

I went a while ago to this restaurant for lunch. I was very impressed. The food and table service were excellent. I went with a very old friend for a girls' catch up lunch. However my experience today was very different when I tried to book for a romantic lunch tomorrow. I tried to book online on the website and received a confirmatory e mail to the effect that my booking would be confirmed 'shortly'. I left it for a while and then telephoned and an answerphone replied. I asked for a return call to confirm the booking and when none was received I telephoned again with the same result. I live not too far from the restaurant and considered visiting to check the booking but thankfully I examined the website quite closely and found that the restaurant was closed till 14 January. A very close examination of the site was necessary (and I am used to websites and indeed have my own and know how easily they can be tweaked to change details). I wonder why I was allowed to book through the system and why the answerphone message could not be changed to accommodate an announcement as to when the restaurant would re-open. I wasted quite a lot of time on this which was annoying and though it is excellent in all other respects I have been rather put off. Most of the other establishments of a similar standing were closed but this could be ascertained very easily. On this occassion no score for business acumen!

Impromptu lunchtime visit . Ordered from the brunch and lunchtime menu . Food was very tasty and service was first class . Would definitely recommend to family and friends

We celebrated my parents’ diamond wedding anniversary in the private function room at Haworth Art Gallery with catering provided for by the Gallery Kitchen. Simon (chef) provided an outstanding service both prior to the event and on the day. The room was beautiful, the food was delicious, the service was fantastic, and the prices very affordable. Thank you so much to Simon and the team for making it a perfect day!

Excellent, no problems accommodating us, all the staff were very pleasant, the food was great, thoroughly recommend

Great service,lovely food,very clean, exceptional building,will definitely revisit.

No disputing the quality of food, but that's as good as this review will get. Afternoon tea for 4 for Mum's birthday, which kitchen were well aware of. Service poor from the get go, and nobody could even muster a smile between them, given a menu and left. Service throughout was poor, not approached once to ask how food was/purchase other drinks, happy enough to walk past us and ask the other tables though? Do we not fit the image of what you want your clients to look like? Plenty of looks down their noses though. Portion sizing was laughable, even by tea for two standard. Vegetarian option had a sandwich removed, but not replaced with anything? Chef's attitude was that "maybe I should have put something else". Then questioned why we said nothing, because nobody approached us, and staff had bad attitudes which made us not want to find anyone. Could've done a lot better, especially on the service front. Be kind, for you don't know the kind of day someone's having. But right now? We have a tainted birthday, and very hungry stomachs.

Having eaten here several times now, I wanted to leave my review. The fact that we're returning diners should give you a clue that we think the whole experience is fantastic. The setting is unparalleled with fabulous views & lovely grounds with which to have a post-meal stroll. The staff are friendly, helpful & responsive. The food is fabulous! Great tasting, lovely choices. I especially recommend the Sunday Roast & the Wagu Burger - not at the same time of course!! The Gallery is licenced so a pleasant glass of red (or a bottle) is recommended if you're not the designated driver. The portions are good but you need to try & leave space for one of the gorgeous puddings - yummy! The meringue trio or the new addition of the blueberry baked cheesecake are my faves. On our last visit we were delighted to learn that the team are considering introducing a cocktail menu which would be a perfect accompaniment to an already superb drinks list. All in all, Simon and his team are to be congratulated in providing such a relaxing, welcoming setting for enjoying their delicious food & drinks. We'll be back soon!

We had booked a surprise afternoon tea for some friends. Unfortunately ,at very short notice ,one of our friends was too ill to attend. We had to decide whether to continue or try and rebook as four of us were already at the gallery kitchen. We assumed it would be a real problem for the staff but they were wonderful. They accommodated our dietary requirements and even boxed up the extra portion for our friend who was ill. Nothing was too much trouble, the food was wonderful and the service was exceptional. We have been here before and have always been impressed but today they went above and beyond. All covid safe as well. Highly recommended.

This superb building also houses the Haworth Art Gallery and boasts spectacular views. We booked for afternoon tea and it didn't disappoint. Really substantial and delicious, the service was quick and very friendly and everything was Covid safe.

Went for afternoon tea for the "eat out to help out". The food was ok, not enough of it tto feed the two of us..,it was not worth the money we paid for it.

Went yesterday for Sunday dinner, ended up having a Christmas dinner which was absolutely amazing, big thanks to all the staff it was a lovely experience.

Over the last few weeks my wife and I have come to the decision that the Gallery Kitchen is the only place worth going in Accrington. The only disappointment is that the cakes aren't homemade so you can't really do tea and cake.

Do visit to the Haworth Art Gallery and have a meal in the Gallery Kitchen!! The views are stunning and the car park is excellent!! It’s all wheel chair friendly, too. The little shop is good and the Tiffany glass in the Gallery is well worth a browse. The food offered is excellent and well served!M can’t fault the place for an afternoon trip out!

The setting is lovely and very relaxing. Beautiful grounds around the Gallery. Great to take your dogs for a walk after your delicious meal. So much variety on the menu . Suits all tastes. The service is excellent and the staff very friendly and efficient. No one rushes you. So a very enjoyable experience. Took friends as a birthday treat and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Would definitely take friends again.

We came to treat our son for his gcse results and had a great meal. Joe and Nicola always make us welcome and are attentive and friendly without being intrusive. Abi had the goats cheese and chorizo with a side of Parmesan and truffle fries, Luke had the macaroni with salmon and prawns, Lou had fish sandwich with hand cut chips and I had the burger with hand cut chips.. all our meals were well presented, hot and very tasty! In fact I would go as far as to say that the burger was the best I have ever tasted, simply delicious. We were all pretty full as the portions are of a good size, but Lou and Luke both decided to have a scone each for dessert which they managed to polish of so must’ve been good! The Gallery is a lovely place to eat and would highly recommend Thanks

Good attention to detail (Gluten Free Menu) by Joseph and Nicola. Simon the Chef punches way above any local standards and the food would not be out of place in the very best London has to offer.

Great service ... lovely food...superb setting ...very laid back atmosphere but professionally provided ... highly recommended

The food was brilliant as was the service. I have been again with family between my initial visit and this review and the quality was the exact same... superb. Luke was the waiter whilst we were there and he was excellent and very attentive.

Even without the lovely food it’s one of my places to take a walk. Lovely views looking around the gardens. They do weddings here, great for the photo session!! Back to the food. Came with friends and had a lovely lunch. Baked hake, quiche and sandwiches. We all enjoyed the meals, maybe a bit stingy on portions but all in all good service lovely surroundings. Will come again.

The staff seemed a little busy despite being pretty empty, could do wit better service but the food is nice and the atmosphere is relaxing.

The better half has mentioned here a couple of times, but travelling to Accy for lunch just didn’t appeal to me (how wrong I was!). A week after Mother’s Day, due to the in-laws being away for the week, we booked a table for 6, plus a high chair. We pulled into the impressive grounds on a Sunny lunchtime, and were immediately impressed. Into the house, receptionists were lovely and pointed us into the right direction, a table in the window looking out onto the lawns, lovely. Drinks order taken quickly by a helpful and smiley waitress. As the adults decided, we ordered our 9 month old chicken and chips, proper chicken and home-made chips, not your usual frozen stuff often passed off on Childrens menus. Thumbs up. The adults ordered four chicken burgers, and two roasts. One beef, one chicken. After a little delay, the place was busy though so no problems, all arrived well presented, hot and MASSIVE portions. All clearly home made and freshly at that, and all finished with smiles all round! After a quick wander around the museum, we parted ways and all agreed we’d return. See you soon! And thank you!

Visited GK for a 3 course meal which was tailored for Mother’s Day. Good price, excellent service & great setting.

Lovely food definitely recommend this place.

Lovely place, good food, excellent service. We seem to have become regulars as we have never had a bad experience here.

Although there was a mix up with our booking and we thought we may not get a table it was more than put right.

Simon and his team catered for my daughters wedding at the gallery. The service and food through the day and night was second to none. Everyone commented the food was delicious. Thank you so much for a lovely day.

On Saturday I went to a party at Haworth Art gallery in Baxenden Accrington. I phoned prior to going and was reassured by Simon (Gallery Kitchen) everything would be gluten free. I was not disappointed at all it was the nicest buffet I had ever had. Would highly recommend for anyone who lives in the vicinity to go. I would still ring ahead if your planning on going for afternoon tea/lunch/dinner. 5 stars as far as I’m concerned . This was all mine including the side salad I had already eaten some pizza and a couple of sandwiches before I suddenly thought - photo!

Food very good. I had chicken breast with mushrooms in a sauce with mash potato. Recommended and Reasonably priced too . Service was of a good standard . A period building decorated to a high standard. Very comfortable and relaxing.

Such a lovely place to visit and eat. Great food served in a beautiful environment. Very busy at 1.30pm and glad I booked our table for 4 to enjoy afternoon tea. Which includes warm sausage roll and warmed scone. Delicious! Seating to enjoy drinks and food outside on sunny days too.

Excellent lunch of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with muffin. A real hidden gem. Great service and excellent food

Took my 19 year old nephew out for lunch and this was his choice. Located inside the beautiful Haworth Art Gallery with it Tiffany glass collection and surrounding park, the room is lovely. The food was very nice with large portions, served piping hot and presented well. We had great time (Well I did, hope he did too).

We’ve often thought about popping in here. Today we finally made it and glad we did. This restaurant is within the Haworth Art Gallery and the room is fantastic with wonderful views. The food was exceptional, well presented and great, friendly service. We’ll be back!

From organisation to implementation, I can not fault this place. The room was dressed beautifully and the food was simply amazing both in taste and presentation. All of the guests were raving about it. You can have the service there but we chose to marry in church first. The evening celebration was also a great success and the sandwiches were again well presented on a variety of breads with vegetarian options. Everyone was impressed with these and this all made our day even more special. Thanks to Simon and all the staff for their friendly and efficient service, you are all stars.

We had lunch for three on Sunday. The menu was enticing, not too big yet with something to tempt all. Our waitress patiently attended to us, the meals were presented impeccably with art and style. Every meal was exquisite to taste. We'll be returning for sure.

went on mothers day it was £18.95 for two coarses good value BUT it was £18.95 for a childs meal which wasnt explained, they had fishfingers and chips (child portion) and no pudding for £18.95 you wouldnt pay that in a posh resteurant

Great food, good prices and helpful polite staff.

What can I say I love it here , we have visited several times now . Always lovely food , very friendly staff and definitely worth a visit

Excellent venue. Three course menu set price. Food very good. We all had a lovely time. Reasonable priced too . It was a icy day and car park hadn't been gritted so it was difficult to negotiate to entrance

Our visit was at 2pm on a Friday and the surroundings were quite comfortable and warm. We ordered three main meals and deserts, with speciality teas and a soft drink. The quality of food was of a high standard, with myself ordering the fish and chips. This arrived with 'pea jus' to decorate the plate, three small pieces of battered fish and hand cooked chips, garnished with watercress and a pot of tartar sauce. I have to say that the food was very nice indeed, but would have proffered peas or mushy peas rather than a green 'decorative' backdrop on the plate. The sweet of sticky toffee pudding was also very nice and came with a scoop of ice cream. No serviettes were served with the sweet courses, which I thought was a bit remiss of the staff.

Had a lovely meal with friends. Delicious food a lot of it seemed locally sourced. Had a very nice Gin and tonic and then a great bottle of red wine. Very friendly and helpful staff

My wife and I went for Sunday lunch at 2pm, we both had the soup which was tomato and red pepper and was very good. For the main course I had the seabass which was excellent. My wife opted for the Sunday roast which was lamb rump. The lamb proved to be undercooked and very sinewy and tough. The accompanying vegetables were Ok but the mashed potato tasted like it had been reheated in a microwave. When the waitress came to clear our plates we mentioned that the lamb was not very good, they apologised and didn'tcharge us for the wine. It's not a very big establishment and as we ate quite late it was possibly we got what was leftovers. We will give it the benefit of the doubt and maybe try and eat there again

Before touring the Tiffany glass exhibits, we opted for lunch. The Kitchen has a variety of hot and cold sandwiches, soup, salads, and delicious desserts. I ate the chicken caesar salad, which came with two large pieces of chicken and a lovely dressing. Two desserts were shared, the Earl Grey drizzle cake and the Orange Chocolate cake. They were both quite good, but the taste of orange was just right in the orange chocolate cake.

We were a little rushed doing a recce of the museum for a visiting friend and happened upon this superb little restaurant in the museum. The decor is lovely...who would guess we were in a council run establishment? The café is privately owned by a husband and wife team,wife front of house and husband the chef. My Eggs Benedict was as good as I have tasted anywhere...homemade hollandaise,good ham and tasty eggs...husband had a tasty smoked salmon sandwich. All nicely presented and charmingly served! Very reasonable prices too.

Nice surroundings, good food, nice cool bottled local ale, attentive service at a respectable price. Brilliant.

Booked afternoon tea for 3. This consisted of 4 variety of sandwich, scone with butter, jam, cream, plus small delicate cakes, and plenty of tea, per person. We all enjoyed and only left clean plates and no complaints.

Superb location with great architecture. Toilets are very clean. The food was excellent- the rib-eye was done exactly as requested all of the vegetables done perfectly. The chicken was equally tasty. Great main course.

Me and my husband got married at Howarth Art Gallery in August last year and the Gallery Kitchen catered for our guests after the ceremony. We requested cream tea style canapes and they were stunning; they were presented beautifully and tasted gorgeous! Everyone was very impressed and I think we managed to polish off the lot between us!

First visit to Gallery Kitchen. I ordered the Sea Bass with cous cous & hand made chips which was extremely tasty. The food was reasonably priced & staff were attentive in a relaxing environment.

A wonderful Sunday afternoon viewing the art and the Tiffany glass. We experienced a very pleasant welcome into the restaurant and had excellent service from start to finish. The food was good and portions substantial. We would return again?

We went to see the Tiffany glass and went into the restaurant for lunch. It's obviously well known as it was full. The menu had lots of choice and our food was delicious, served by friendly staff.

Went for a quick evening meal with my parents, sister and wife. The food was superb. We only had a main course each. Sea bass, lamb and chicken were eaten. They were all gorgeous. I would highly recommend this little gem to anyone.

I went to Gallery Kitchen with a friend for something new for a light lunch. The place is really welcoming and the staff friendly and efficient Not many places for lunch in Accrington so this was a great find. Good selection of food choices which were tasty and at the right price. The staff did a great job of making us feel welcome in a casual atmosphere. I will definitely be going again.

We visited the Tea Rooms today and had a very enjoyable, delicious dinner. Accrington is very short of places to visit for lunch, so this is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended.

The Gallery is a cafe by day and becomes a restaurant on Friday and Saturday nights. It is housed in some pleasant period rooms in the Howarth Art Gallery. One room is the bar and the other a dining area.

Been for daytime food and always enjoyed it and it's becoming very popular. The staff are also excellent. Will visit again !

Third time I've been here now, and each time the food, service,value for money, setting/location and overall experience have been consistently excellent! Highly recommend!

Wonderful cosy tea room serving amazing food at a reasonable price, set in a lovely park with beautiful rose gardens. Also the Gallery as a excellent collection of Tiffany glass and some lovely old paintings.

Afternoon tea, cant wait to try the rest of the menu! Thanks for a lovely day. The tea was great quality and the sandwiches and cakes were just divine! So happy you serve this standard of food

We went here for a Christmas do for work and we were not let down. Simon and the team have created a brilliant restaurant and atmosphere. If you haven't booked a table there yet and you live in the area, do it now. You won't be disappointed and you will probably make it a regular stop for when you want a really good meal with friends and family.

Visited with work colleagues. Lovely setting although quieter than expected for a Friday night. Nice food which was well presented however, feel like the service for drinks let it down.

A group of 5 friends visited on New Years Eve & had a truly memorable evening. The dining room is fantastic (we sat in the fire place!!) The service is faultless from the initial greeting to the final good night & at all times it was friendly & cheerful. Best of all the food was superb. Faultlessly cooked beautifully presented & delicious with decent sized portions at a reasonable price. All of our choices had an imaginative selection of ingredients that complemented each other (pigeon breast with chocolate sauce? A real taste surprise!) For me the real show stopper was the cheese board. A proper selection of 6 English cheeses with plenty of biscuits grapes celery & chutney. All 5 of us toddled off home happy & replete to open a bottle of fizz & let in the new year.

Enjoyed lunch last Friday with wife and aunt. Shared the dining room with a Christmas Party group as well as other small groups of diners. Excellent choice of snacks, main meals, and deserts all professionally presented. Ample free parking and excellent value for money.

Had a lovely lunch here with my family while on holiday in the area. I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful dining room with period features and great food, as normally museum and gallery restaurants are over priced and over subscribed with uber trendy but uncomfortable seating.. Not here. Our food was delicious, my son had fish and chips, I had fish cake and my partner had a quiche, the pastry was light and the filling scrumptious.The staff were friendly and helpful, all in all a great place for lunch or afternoon tea. It felt like swanning around a country house hotel without the price tag!

Lovely shared meat platter for lunch on a visit to the Haworth Art Gallery in ACCRINGTON Lancashire.The gallery is also home to a fantastic collection of Tiffany glass not to be missed.

Visited here Saturday night for the first time in a party of 4. It was a toss up between here & Healy's. Service was efficient & timely and the food was excellent. Well presented, very tasty and a reasonable price too. Variety of dishes sampled including soup, steak & salmon. Now I'm not one for usually picking soup to begin but the onion starter with homemade roll was outstanding. Everybody commented on the tasty dishes served. Recommended, but you will probably need to book as the place was full when we went (19:00hrs). A gem.

Visited twice now for afternoon tea. The sandwiches are delicious, but the cakes are truly scrumptious. The scones are served with good portion of clotted cream and jam. Endless flow of tea accompanied the platter. Comfortable surroundings in a lovely spot.

went for Sunday lunch, for what we got it was very expensive, fresh ingredients were used and home cooked. There was no choice for children.

Beautiful home made soup and bread... delicious coffee. The Sunday roast and afternoon teas looked amazing so will be visiting again soon to sample these. Accrington best kept secret.... except not only secret anymore.. it was packed. I would recommend booking and pre ordering if you want afternoon tea as they had run out!!

We recently had a family members wake at The Gallery Kitchen. The service, food and attention to detail was exceptional. We can not thank the staff enough for making a difficult day special. The high tea was exceptional and the variety catered for all those who attended thank you

Visited with my mum after having to rebook due to the snow. Staff were really helpful with this.

A surprise invitation from my wife's Mum & Dad to go here for lunch. I have been to Haworth Art Gallery may times over the years and visited the original café on a number of occasions. We had heard good reports from others who had been since the franchise had been taken over by someone else. We arrived around 12.15 . When we went into the dining area it was empty. It had obviously been refurbished with good quality tables and chairs with padded bench seating on the outer walls. We sat down at a table and after a short while a young girl came and asked if we were ready to order. We were not asked if we would like drinks at this stage. The menu, though not extensive, offered a good choice along with a vegetarian option. I chose the Smoked haddock Kedgeree, which was faultless, The rice was not stodgy and the taste was superb. My wife the Eggs Florentine, and my in-laws the Chicken Risotto. The presentation of the food was 1st class and piping hot. We had an awfully long wait for our mains and even longer for the sweet course. The dining area had by this time filled up quite quickly. It was pretty obvious that the kitchen could not cope with the amount of people who were ordering mains, and others who were ordering pudding at the same time. My father-in-law had to go to the counter to ask where our desserts were. A shame really, because the food and the presentation of it, along with the location of the Gallery is really something that should not be missed. Would have been full marks except for the service.

So glad there's actually somewhere local that serves the best Sunday lunch!!! The presentation of the food is also Amazing!

I've been visiting the gallery all my life and was disappointed when the previous cafe/restaurant closed several years ago and was curious when I heard that a new venture had started. This isn't quite what you call a cafe. The menu, whilst offering the usual cream teas, sandwiches etc also has a good choice for those wanting something more substantial. I was not disappointed with our visit, the staff are attentive and the food good and well presented. We will be back very soon!

We had a girly lunch at this restaurant a couple of Saturdays ago. Although 3 of us arrived late due to roadworks, our table was held for us, which doesn't happen everywhere. We all enjoyed our meal choices, especially desserts. 2 of our party opted for a Chocolate Brownie, but as this had sold out, they were 'upgraded' to a scrumptious Chocolate Fondant which was more expensive and usually only served in the evenings. No complaints there! In fact we spent so much time eating, talking and admiring the views, we had no time left to see any of the artwork as the gallery was about to close. Another visit is on the cards.....

The food was excellent well presented in lovely surroundings. The staff are friendly helpful and polite. Excellent value for money. Looking forward to a return visit.

Had a fantastic meal on Saturday night as part of the evening bistro menu. I have ate here several times and the food never fails to deliver....the chef is amazing. The presentation and surroundings are beautiful. Thanks again. The best place to eat hands down in Accrington and gives the Ribble Valley a run for its money too. Pavlovas are to die for. Thanks

This is amazing great food great setting great staff 3 courses for £23 and 2 courses for £16.00 ish Great value This is worth a visit will be back soon Tip for the management cheese and biscuits

We just had a wonderful meal at the gallery kitchen and I highly recommend them. The staff were attentive the ambience warm and relaxing. The food was absolutely delicious and very responsibly priced. We will definitely be going back.

Truly excellent food and great service, we went on a Friday evening and very impressed by the quality of food, presentation and of course the venue is very impressive.

Saturday night snowing what a beautiful setting the staff are great food to die for would thoroughly recommend to all

We have been for dinner tonight, the first dinner service at Gallery Kitchen.

I have been going since they opened. It is an amazing place. The food is fantastic and more up market than anywhere else in Accrington. I would highly recommend a visit. The afternoon tea is great. The staff are lovely. I had seabass last time I visited and it was gorgeous. Worth a visit.

I have been a fan of the gallery kitchen since they opened a few months ago. The menu is varied, using seasonal ingredients and the staff are very helpful and always welcoming. I love the eggs Benedict and afternoon tea, especially the adder touches like the edible flowers. The recently added Sunday lunch is fab and I can't wait to be one of the first to go to the new Friday or Saturday evenings with friends x my favourite place to eat in Accrington with beautiful surroundings. I highly recommend this hidden gem in our little town x

Came for afternoon tea a few months ago it was presented brilliantly and tasted amazing. The waiting staff provided excellent service. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for decent food in the area.
