Gibbon Bridge Hotel and Restaurant in Ribble Valley

Fantastic food, and probably the most varied menu in the area since the Corporation Arms closed. Lovely, local service, a good pint, well priced and whatever you order is excellent. Dining room is a cut above, and the mix with the bar is perfectly set. Really enjoy our visits here. Well done everybody involved!

The standards are very high and on many visits very consistent, food cooked very well with a very good level of service ,would always highly recommend to anyone who hasn't popped in for a bite to eat to give it a try

Lovely place Rooms spotless had iron and hairdryer too Lovely big shower The food was lovely and had gluten free. Breakfast was lovely and the chef very friendly We will go back and do the walk round there.

Absolute disgraceful service and food. We were placed in the back room which, although it had beautiful views across the valley, felt like a canteen with sparse, sad and dead looking Christmas decorations, and old fashioned art and decor. The room was large and completely empty (at 12.30pm on the last Friday before Christmas!) apart from one couple who they sat us right on top of at the very bottom end. It was close to the fire which was a saving grace as the room was cold when we walked in. Two terrible vegetarian options on the whole menu, cheese pie with baked beans (I know!!!) and vegetable curry!! The cheese pie dish (which was presented about 10mins after we had ordered it!), was worse than in a greasy caf! Although the cheese pie was just ok, albeit a little sloppy, the chips were cold and uncooked in places, the cabbage was mushed, watery and also cold, and the cold baked beans were, well cold baked beans!! All for the price of £18.50!! In this day and age, most eating establishments have a good variety of vegetarian and vegan food options. There are so many gorgeous plant based meal ideas now, I feel this establishment should be a little more creative and put a little more effort in, in providing a better and larger choice for us non meat eating folk. But if they are going to provide a sparse vegetarian menu, please cook it properly! I love a latte coffee with my lunch and would you believe they only serve filter coffee! I can’t remember the last time I entered an eatery that didn’t offer at least a small variety of coffees! Very disappointing! I have to say the young staff members who served us were very helpful and polite, however on being asked if our meal was ok, we explained our disappointments in brief. The polite young man told us he would feed our comments back. After about 10mins, a woman (I assume a manager, I wish I had taken her name) came rushing over, asking in a rather loud voice, which started before she even arrived at our table (great entertainment for our close neighbours) ‘I believe you’re not happy with the cheese pie?!!. Some of her other statements included: ‘Well everybody else likes it!’ And ‘Well you could have asked for an alternative to the beans’ And ‘What freezing!!’ A response to my statement that the beans were freezing. All this being presented in a rather loud and passively aggressive manner. At one point I said ‘I don’t want to argue about this! The meal was awful and cold’. There was no apology, however she did offer to knock the cheese pie off the bill. We thanked her and then waited, and waited, and waited for the bill, until we finally put our coats on and went to the bar to pay. The woman was there, and the man behind the bar who took our payment, neither of whom apologised, made any comment or said anything. Not even a good bye! Disgraceful and rude! Needless to say, we will not be returning. Additional note: I see some of the other negative reviews mention the lack of vegetarian/vegan options. Take a look at them, there are plenty of them.

Quite a good little venue, very cramped and cute have done with sorting out the mess upstairs and freeing up some additional space especially in winter. Good selection of drinks, bathrooms poor and the bar man the night we were in was miserable as sin no thanks or please just threw the drinks down took the money and walked off
