Hospital Inn in South Ribble

The restaurant looked OK. However, I was only having a drink and looking at the menu for a family gathering. We was sent to a back area. Grim worn out and narrow .It felt like if you weren't eating, your custom wasn't worth it. We decided to drink and go.

Disappointed, it looked great on the plate , but you could of hung wallpaper with the gravy it was that thick I tried pouring it out of the jug but it wasn’t moving, the cheese and onion pie was dry and didn’t taste of much, the cauliflower was rock hard and inedible. Will not be going back anytime soon

Another excellent meal at The Hospital Inn. This pub is great for a relaxed evening out with friends. The food is to a high standard and reasonably priced with generous portions. The staff are efficient and friendly, especially Emily.

We have visited the Hospital Inn quite a few times over the last few weeks and we always have good food. It's so well priced and good value for money, and they always have good music playing! Highly recommended if you haven't already been

Reliably enjoyable! We are lucky you have it as our local

Food was delicious for all our party. Atmosphere was good but the service was lackadaisical- young girls with no accountability that were not very good at bringing menus quick enough and coming to take our order. Having said that they were lovely and friendly without being patronising when they were at the table whether bringing our food and drinks or clearing the table.

Large pub on the outskirts of Bamber Bridge; accessed via the Walton Summit industrial estate and just across from a level crossing for trains. Inside, nice big area for dining with good range of tables. Bar in the round, with saloon bar to one side. Ancient gaming machine in the bar area. The beer was Amstel. As it was and as it should be. Food was first class; really lovely. Didn’t have time for full three courses so just a main - fantastic steak suet pudding with chunky chips and giant onion rings. Such good onion rings 😻 Throaty jug of proper gravy and mushy peas on the side. Perfect. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area and after a tasty dinner. Must return in future. Well done.

Yesterday we sadly said goodbye to my mum and we had booked here for the refreshments and they did not disappoint. On arrival the memory board that my daughter had made had pride of place and the way that Shannon had laid it all out was so beautiful. The buffet was absolutely outstanding and cooked so fresh, the sausage rolls, fish and chicken goujons were hot when served. The mini quiches were delicious and the sandwiches were divine. Compliments and thanks to Nathan and the kitchen team for the fantastic food, which was made exactly as requested by us. Having thought no one would eat cake, as soon as it came out they were demolished as well! The front of house staff - Andy, James, Shannon, Tasha, Hannah - could not do enough for us all at all times during the afternoon. There was a lot of us and no one was left waiting or wanting anything. Thank you all so much for making a hard day such a special memory for us saying bye to mum. X

Home cooked food. Real chips,home made steak pudding and mushy peas. Very good.

Quite disappointed with our recent visit. The £10 club has increased to £12 which is fine, but feel that the quantity and quality wasn't the usual standard and that was the view of all 4 diners. Not sure what the chicken was in the Stroganoff. Noticed no pineapple or egg option now either on the Gammon dish. Probably be a while before I return.

Had a thoroughly enjoyable 75th birthday party at the Hospital inn, food was excellent, service by 2 beautiful ladies was superb & amazingly service came fairly quickly considering there were 3 large parties taking place at the same time. Weldone to ALL the staff who made our evening worth every penny.

Great little pub on the edge of the village. Just visiting family, but will come back, and stay for food next time.

My friend and I visited Monday lunchtime, it was busy but that didn't stop the excellent service we received especially from the waitress think she was called Pam, nothing phased her she was warm, friendly felt like we knew her for years, she is an absolute credit to you. We chose from the £10 club menu and so much choice the food arrived hot and was delicious, and value for money. We looked at the Sunday lunch menu and the fact there is lamb and gammon along with the usual Sunday lunch meats which many places don't put on the menu we have decided to return. We will be back

Went last night for Sunday lunch. We each had mixed roast and it was exceptionally good. Great quality meat, homemade Yorkshire pudding, really tasty gravy and cauli cheese included. We will be back! Good value

Food & service were both quite reasonable. The big downer was the atmosphere, or lack of. At 8pm on Saturday evening only 3 tables were occupied, inc ours. It's been a while since we visited so I can't be sure how representative that was but if that's the norm then it doesn't bode well.

Good food today, friendly service and a good atmosphere

Absolutely lovely dining experience. The menu has changed -so many gluten free and veggie options. The food was great and the waitress was so friendly and helpful. The bar staff were very friendly too. We haven’t been for a long time but this is definitely the best it has been and highly recommend it for a relaxed evening , lovely food and nice ambience 😁

This pub/restaurant is great for quality food and drink. We visited at around 1830 on a Sunday evening. Both had sirloin steak and then Mrs Dowsons ice cream. Well cooked steak accompanied by fries and Diane sauce. We will return !!!!!!

Best place for food by far I come from Preston to eat here can’t wait come back and try more different eat if the 1/2 chicken was to go by.

Smashing food, good atmosphere, lovely pub.

First time visit to the Hospital inn ! I chose the Chicken stroganoff and my friend had the fish and chips, We both enjoyed our meals and we will be returning soon. The staff " Barman and waitress " The waitress explained the menus to us as we were handed 3 . She explained they have a Monday to Thursday menu that's a little cheaper, So we went for that ! We thought portion size may be a little smaller but we were wrong it was the normal size. There is also a very good selection of beers . So all in all we enjoyed our visit.

Not visited since covid but glad we did. Food welcome and shown to our table. Order taken for drinks and food by the waitress .food came promptly hot and tasty. It won't be as long until we return.

Went for lunch on a cold wet day.No need to book as there was plenty of tables unoccupied. The restaurant was quiet but warm, we were shown to the table and given menu's. There was a good selection on offer and a specials board to choose from. We opted for the pie of the day which came with chips and vegetables, gravy on the side. The potion size was good and the pastry pie full with tender meat and cooked to perfection The chips were chunky and veg tender. The staff came to take our order and brought the drinks to the table she remained professional polite and smiling which was nice to see. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere good so we would go again at some point in the future .

Booked for 7.30pm and the kitchen closes at 8pm, for 14 people and the service, food and staff were excellent. Can't recommend this place highly enough. they made our evening really enjoyable and special and all 14 guests agreed.

I've been to this pub a few times now over a couple of years but unfortunately the last year its gone down hill in regards to the food. Ate the chicken wings around a year ago and they barely even looked like chicken wings. Instead looks like some sort of mutant wings, ate two and couldnt have any more. Time after I had a sizzler which was basically tateless which is disappointing considering the presentation is good. And today I just had some plain chips which were standard. However one of my party had the Sunday roast lamb and noted it smelt rotten, this was after his 2 year old was fed a bit of it too. Just very unfortunate and put all of us then off our food. The staff however are lovely people. I wasn't the one who brought it up to the waitress about the potential rotten lamb but I just felt bad for her as it wasn't her fault. I don't know if there is any cost cutting in regards to food or unsavoury preservative methods but food lately has been disappointing. Staff, drinks and atmospherr are good though.

Great little pub for a weekday meal. Main courses from £10, which are great great value, but no frills. Service generally good. Good value for money.

Poor service and poor quality food. Previously good experiences some years ago. Decided to give it another go despite a decline in service & food quality recently - will not be returning

Excellent Christmas lunch with starter. Highly recommended.

Fantastic place! Food menu is amazing, caters for gluten free , I had the best steak pie couldn’t tell it was gf, we took our 2 dogs who were welcomed with treats, James was our server, he is an absolute gem and couldn’t do enough for us, can wait to go back and try the rest of the menu

We used to eat at the Hospital Inn frequently when visiting family, but hadn’t been for many years after having quite a few bad meals (think it changed hands). We always loved doing a family Christmas Eve meal here every year so we decided to give it another go and it was really great! Really nice food, generous portions and it’s as cosy as I remember. The service was great too. We’ll be back!

Had a fantastic meal as a group of 15, great food and atmosphere and friendly staff. And loads of gluten free options. The GF fish and chips was delicious.

Great food which is very well priced and always lots of choice. The Caesar Salad is excellent!! Definitely put this on the list to try soon!!

Good food, friendly staff, everything was so good

Late being served, not full, just two younglasses flying round...two sprouts in dinner in congealed cheese, rest of meal OK...staff too busy to be pleasant.

Eight of us just had Christmas lunch it was fantastic each of us enjoyed it .very tasty and the price was unbelievable for the meal and the service was next to none.we couldn't have been more pleased.thank you.

I arrived at noon and was greeted warmly. The menus , of which there is plenty to read , has some fabulous choice. You will find something for whatever culinary mood you are in. During the week there is a special reduced price menu , Mon to Thursday and light bite menus also. The whole of the dessert menu , bar 1 item was gluten free and this is a very rare thing. My main meal was able to be adjusted to what I asked for to make gluten free and it did not disappoint... Steak and cheese club style sandwich and side salad and fries... Outstanding . The dessert was the highlight .. the lady who produced the homemade sticky toffee pudding deserves a medal... That's the best gf pudding I have ever had since being diagnosed . .. so much so I kept questioning myself whether it was actually gluten free.... Amazing.. staff friendly and accommodating . Facilities are clean tidy and as expected with everything else being so good. Felt maybe coffees overpriced , for what it was , but suppliers costs etc have kept everything up . When your drink is nearly half the price of the meal , it's a tad on the expensive side. Disabled parking right near the entrance and accommodated suitable seating with no issues . Was not rushed to finish and can't find fault. See you again soon .

Great meeting place, food excellent

Afternoon tea here was delightful, will be back to try everything else!

Just wanted to thank the hospital inn .Today we had a small wake here.Afternoon tea ,sides of fries,and endless teas and coffees.Everything was perfect,the service, the food and the staff were so kind and courteous.Despite us arriving much earlier than we expected.Definitely would recommend this local .

The special offer of £10 meal was amazing

Really friendly staff and good food, I was with 7 other people and all our food came out together in good time. Very pleased

Sham served us today when we came in from work. All of us had lovely food and the service was great.

Quite simply one of the best places to eat in the area. Not much to look at from outside, but a beautiful place inside Amy wife and I had one of the best meals ever. We will certainly be back......and with friends.

Was traveling south on the M6 from Scotland to Southampton, and over the years when I have done this trip, I find it better when it comes to getting a meal to find a nice country pub to get a proper sit down fresh meal,...

Good food at good prices. Service was really good. Though rather empty on a Thursday night this no atmosphere.

Wonderful as I always find it. I'm only sad I don't live closer. Well done to the team there and I look forward to my next visit.

We called for lunch before Go-Karting. Two families of 4, we were all full, food was spot, service was great from Pam and all at a great price. Very good value for money for good, honest grub. Will definitely call again when passing.

Looking for a spot of lunch before going to the Team Sport karting. Plenty of places to choose from but quite honestly fast food was not an option…. This was ace, the service was efficient with some lovely banter thrown in, thanks Pam. There were...

Had lite bite jacket potato it was huge 2 big and several hard bits..... left alot of it.... tuna was quite sickly...... the other person had fish and chips which he said was nice.... ordered a lemon cake with ice cream got cream instead even though on bill I was charged £1.50 for ice cream .... so disappointed....feel like it's hit and miss at the moment sometimes food ok then next time is not real shame as it's good value......

Food is great here ,the sticky toffee pubing is the best 👌

Excellent friendly service from Pam. Lovely food from the lunchtime £10 club menu, also enjoyed coffee and cake . We will be back !

Had a fab tasty meal here with family. Staff were very helpful and service was excellent. Recommend this place for a great meal from a large menu choice.

Visited on a Sunday tea time for family birthday meal, ordered roast dinners to be told that because they had a few large tables in who had pre-ordered food, they had run out of roast turkey and roast beef Sunday dinners at 5.30pm! Had to re-order and then food took 45 minutes to eventually appear. Food was average, service non-existent/below-par. When we asked if they could provide a reasonable gesture, of perhaps refunding a round of drinks off the bill to compensate for the long wait time/lack of service, we were met with being told we should have expected a long wait, as it was Sunday and it was busy! Avoid. EDITED in response to business comments: Thanks for your response - perhaps if you had made it clear when we ordered - before the other large tables that you mention actually arrived - that the wait time on food would be 45 mins to an hour, then we might have been more accepting of the fact the food took so long to come out of the kitchen. Whilst, it's great that you employ so many local staff, it might be worth hiring some more locals as you are so exceptionally busy each weekend and perhaps adjust/increase your catering orders if your roast dinners are so popular on Sundays? As for the fact we stayed over 2 hours, yes we did, as we really didn't have much choice considering it took for 20 minutes for someone to come over and take our order, plus the hour long wait for food.

Very good service and all enjoyed good quality and portions.

Sunday roast, hardly any veg, beef was not very good at all and left most of it , did not really taste of beef. Mixed fruit crumble lacked in flavour, custard was nice though. Sorry to say, will not be returning

Absolutely beautiful food. Will be going back. Thanks

Would have got a 5 if the staff member had been interested in actually serving we were the only diners yet she had to be prompted by the manager to take our order we heard the bell from the kitchen indicating the meal was ready...

Haven't been to Hospital Inn for years, just because it's a bit of the way for us. However we were in the area and what an experience it was. People are quick to complain, and I wanted to just say how great the service and...

Excellent food. Brilliant for gluten free and checked anyway with the chef. Good portion sizes on everything. Very attentive staff. Thanks again.

Food and service have improved over the last few months since I last went but its more expensive than more upmarket options nearby without having the quality to match.

Amazing service from James ,beautiful food and our labrador even got some treats and bowl of water! We have been several times with family and always had good service and delicious meals. The Hospital Inn is definitely one of our favourite places to eat!

Excellent choices for Gluten Free, servers clued up on allergens, separate fryer, good size portions at a reasonable price

Great service from Pat who just never stopped she went over and above service with a smile. Food was amazing very good portions. You won't go hungry

Came here when visiting family in the area and so pleased we did. Lovely big garden and a under cover section for the wet weather. Nice friendly staff and plenty of seating indoors. We didn’t eat here but the food looked amazing and Will definitely...

We were first in on a Tuesday lunchtime and therefore served very quickly. More people arrived but it was a very quiet day. Staff friendly, food very good and we would definitely go again in a few months time. Certainly recommended as we had no...

Had lunch with a friend at the hospital inn. We both had the steak and cheese ciabatta with chunky chips. Food was lovely. Steak cooked perfectly and chips crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. Thankyou to Pam for your very attentive service....

Amazing food, great vegetarian options, lovely staff and giant portions! Will definitely be visiting again!

Drove passed this pub many times and finally took the plunge today, we weren't disappointed. Excellent food and service by Hanna. Gorgeous pub inside and plenty of room outside too. Very accommodating for people with a disability. Excellent gluten free menu too. Can't wait for our next visit. Thankyou.

Was looking forward to having a lovely steak dinner. Drinks order came quick but then waited over 20 minutes for food order to be taken. Gave up! Paid for drinks and left! Thanks for your reply to my review. It wasn't that busy as bar man and waitress were stood at the bar, chatting, looking over at us and completely ignoring us. Very poor service!

Me and my partner have come multiples times over the passed 3 months and love it. Food atmosphere and service. We like to go during the week when not busy, for food and drinks.

Great pub food in a relaxed atmosphere. Very welcoming.

13 of us went today for my dads 80th. Fabulous food staff amazing and ran like clock work. Massive thanks to Julie and her team xx

Visited the Hospital Inn this evening. Lovely food. Staff were excellent and we were made to feel welcome. Food was excellent definitely will visit again.

Great meal went to celebrate my 65th birthday and my wife's first outing since her bowel cancer food fantastic lovely venue well done to all staff definitely recommend 👍

The food was delicious and the staff very helpful. Average prices. Good choice of alcohol free drinks

Was quiet when we went, food ok nothing to shout about though, my hubby's puddings was cold in the middle and had to send it back.

Good portions friendly staff tasty food , reasonably priced

Very good for food, but if you go just for a pint is a bit a non atmosphere pub with no many beer choices.

Great place for some food, everything is amazing. Staff are lovely. We came on Sunday night and the two young ladies and young guy were great. Highly recommend

What a lovely lunch at the Hospital Inn. I had a tuna cheese hot sandwich and fries, my son had the steak ciabatta and chips and my daughter had the kids burger. The food was cooked fresh and was delicious! There wasn’t really room for dessert but we had the best ever sticky toffee pudding and flake cheesecake. Sooooo delicious! The staff were really friendly without being overpowering - thank you to Shan for looking after us so well! Highly recommended

One of our favourite places to eat. Local comfortable eating place. Good food and good service. Emily and Freddie are particularly helpful and friendly. Small portions available too.

We’d popped out for a drink and ended up at The Hospital Inn. Having had a quick look at the menu, plans to cook were banished. The food we had was fabulous, and really good portion sizes. The staff (Mark and Emily? Apologies if I got your names wrong!) were really friendly, there when we needed, but not intrusive. We’d throughly recommend it, and will definitely be back there.

Very friendly staff always fantastically accommodating even when Very busy

My son and I are regular visyors to the Hospiral Inn. The food is always good and the staff very attentive, especially Emily and Freddie. Can't fault the service and the prices. I've been going for many years with family and friends.

Today was my first visit to celebrate a long standing colleagues leaving celebration. I was very impressed when we arrived , the staff were very friendly and showed us to are table. The food came out quick but this is as good as it got...

Highly recommend the salt & pepper chips was served by James very welcoming & friendly

Visited on 01/06/23 for an evening with a friend. Great service as always. Excellent budget menu choice that does not impact on side portions or quality. Food was cooked beautifully. We had 2 very helpful waiters, I caught the name of one [Freddy] was was...

1st time here and it was really good , best Sunday dinner ever , thanks to pam and Shannon for your service , its our number one place to eat now , thank you

Brilliant Service by Emily and Hannah. Had chicken and beef Sizzlers with half and half and it was absolutely lovely. Also the garlic ciabata with cheese and the halloumi fries were immense. Been a few times now and I'm never disappointed. Food was delicious, portions...

Lovely food brilliant service. Thank you.

Visited on Sunday for a family meal, Staff were amazing, friendly and polite, We had the mixed meat roast dinner, Steak pudding and a Children’s cheese burger, the food was excellent and can’t wait to return, Big thanks to Sharron who was our waitress

Had to wait a while despite being empty. Food was terrible. Staff all talking by the bar & showed little interest in guests. Wouldn’t go again.

What's happened here. Always been top nosh but today not so, food very dry scampi was only edible covered in tarter sauce (nice sauce) chips were dry. The Chicken Tika was more like a Jalfrazie. Was offered free deserts but didn't want to be disappointed Again. Only offerd a £3.95 Refund for a very dry garlic bread. I won't be returning. Enjoy my money. 😠

Great food, helpful staff, catered for large party brilliantly. Thank you!

The staff were amazing with my 18 month old twins and could not do enough to help us. Food was really good with massive portions. Really good gluten free options which is hard to come by. Will definitely be returning

The amount of gluten-free options was excellent.
