King Street Kitchen in Ribble Valley

An absolutely delightful place, with comfy sumptuous surroundings, fabulous selection of wines, welcoming staff who are courteous, professional and yet so friendly, oh.... and the food ? A divine menu with something to suit every taste, exquisitely cooked and presented. Most definitely a gastronomic jewel in the Ribble Valley crown.

Lovely king prawns in garlic starter and then - main course - steak - asked for we’ll done and delivered perfect- service - low key - not pushy - just perfect

Lovely tasty Sunday lunch in casual surroundings 99.5 out of 100 for all 3 courses…..Half mark lost as the fabulous sharp Lemon ice cream overpowered the treacle flavour of the lovely treacle tart. Thank you

A fantastic meal great food with great flavours, had a mushroom starter which was terrific, followed by a fish dish to die for, with great service what’s not to like. I Wii be back with more friends in the not too distant future. Thank you guys it was a great experience

We wanted to try somewhere different from our usual eateries and decided to try this little gem based on the great reviews. It certainly exceeded expectations. We hardly ever have 3 courses but the food was just so good we had to sample all three. I had the prawn starter, the chicken Kiev main and the choux bun for dessert. Everything was cooked to perfection with beautiful flavours. The fries were to die for too! My other half had the mushroom starter, steak for main and the treacle tart. We have been really disappointed with steaks elsewhere in the past but this was top notch and the peppercorn sauce was just right. There isn't masses to choose from on the menu but I like that as everything they offer is such high quality. Prices are very reasonable too for this standard. Atmosphere was lively and service was just right and not intrusive. We will definitely be back. A new found favourite!

Upon arrival the comfy clean dining room wills you to sit down and instantly enjoy the environment. Fabulous food with excellent service What more could you ask for?

Very enjoyable lunch. Would definitely go again.

Eaten here twice now and we both agree it has the best food in the area. I also like it as it doesn't have the noise and accoustics that come with everyone shouting to be heard, for those with only one working ear it is a godsend.

5 of us visited for a quiet birthday meal. A nice relaxed evening, a couple of beers outside in the sun, followed by 3 courses for everyone and 2 bottles of wine. Good value for what we had £310. I dislike “ service charges” but usually leave a decent tip. Glad to say no service charges here. Small and intimate dining area, smallish menu, which I like as it gives the kitchen focus and allows them to concentrate on quality. Service relaxed, efficient and not overbearing. A great little restaurant. Unrelated but could do with sorting out a website and their social media.

Fabulous food and wine in a small well appointed restaurant with great service. So what’s the niggle and it is just a niggle. I didn’t know the origins of the food we ate but it was all great. The wine was an international selection and was really nice (so the girls said). And here’s the thing, I would have thought that a local British Bistro in East Lancashire where breweries are practically in every town would source their two choices of beer with more care. One was brewed in Wolverhampton by a brewery that has sold its soul in 2020 to the international brewing industry and the other from a brewery that went into administration in 2023 owing millions to the tax man (I’m sure we will pay the short fall). Yes it’s a niggle but some better (i know it’s subjective) local beer from local breweries chosen with the care and dedication the kitchen obviously does with the food and wine it serves would be the icing on the cake. 5 stars fabulous food I would definitely recommend.

A real Ribble valley gem! This little restaurant is wonderful in every way. Consistently great service and probably some of the best meals we have ever had, the food is faultless. A must visit if you’re in the area. We’ve eaten lunch outside on a nice sunny day and also been many times in the evening… every time has been a lovely, enjoyable experience.

Absolutely incredible food, a simple menu, but what ever you order it'll taste amazing! Nice atmosphere as well for a small restaurant, good for couples and small groups of friends.

Called in for lunch just before kitchen was closing. Very kindly let us order. Cajun chicken salad and steak sandwich with nice glass of red. Very friendly service and quick, fresh food.

The atmosphere and service were really really nice for a lunch! The soup and salads are absolutely gorgeous! Only some minor comments regarding the toasties being a little greasy and the cumin on the carrots being quite overpowering. The 'glazed carrot' title on the menu meant a slightly higher expectation for the dish was set than what arrived at the table but overall a really lovely spot for lunch.

Excellent food and wine. Service was great. A lovely atmosphere.

Excellent steak frites, excellent service. Best meal we’ve had out for a long time. I don’t usually write reviews but this was well worth it

A second visit in a relatively short time. Again we were a bit last minute in getting an early evening weekend table in this small bistro. Again front of house very professional and welcoming. This time there was a piri piri prawn starter and, for GF, a goats cheese. Can only comment on the prawns which were very good, though I’d have liked 1 or 2 more for the price. GF stuck to the steak frites and, once I’d hinted enough to try some, I found it was flavoursome and the fries were great. I went for the turkey roast which was excellent. No room for desserts. Nice drinks whatever we chose. A cut above the other options in Whalley.

Fantastic food and warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Visited the restaurant for Sunday lunch and enjoyed two perfect starters, two lovely roast mains, one cheese plate and a dessert .... all absolutely delicious and the service, as always, was top class. King Street Kitchen ticks all the boxes in our opinion and we are looking forward very much to our next visit !!

Food is 10/10, service and overall feel. Hidden gem ❤️

Disappointed to say the least with our visit. The food being totally honest was OK, but nothing special, the service however from the proprietor was poor. The starters were OK & we all ordered steak for the main. The steak comes with a portion of mushrooms, a portion of potatoes & a tomato. I politely asked if I could not have the mushrooms, the potatoes or the tomato & instead have "whatever veg chef has got plainly cooked" as I wanted to keep my meal healthy. I was told I had to choose sides? I repeated again that I 'm really not bothered at all which veg I get (I like all veg) as long as it plainly cooked but was again told I had to choose sides so I chose the green beans & my partner chose carrots. Our steaks arrived, looking rather sad, sat on a plate by itself with two separate little bowls of vegetables (I presume this was to justify the extra costs of the £5 each for veg) Both veg were covered in a greasy sweet sauce - Pic attached of one of them I did try eating the greasy veg but they were not pleasant, especially after I specifically asked twice for plain veg. We then asked for a cafetiere of coffee which was brought to us with a small bowl of brown & white sugar sachets & we commented that there didn't appear to be enough white sugar sachets to which we got the reply "don't worry, there is plenty of brown sugar" really 🤷‍♂️ The bill arrived and the small bowls of greasy veg were charged at £5 each even though they were not what we asked for & surely if we were not having the mushrooms, the potatoes or the tomato then why would you charge an extra £5 for a portion of green beans? Our experience was a very small menu choice, average food with poor service, we will not be going back

A bit of a date night after a manic time. Had never been here before despite moving into the area. A small bistro in Whalley Main Street with a lovely ambiance/lighting and a quality small menu. The main waiter (owner?) was professional and helpful. We ended up with 3 excellent courses each. For me a baked prawn/chorizo/tomato combo and GF mushrooms that involved cheese. Both excellent and we asked for bread to mop up the sauces. Then it was a steak frites with aspen fries for GF and chicken escalope with peas and lettuce in a cream sauce for me. Lovely. Couldn’t resist a dessert or two. So it was a crème brûlée and a treacle tart with lemon meringue ice cream. Loved them both. A couple of bottled beers and a couple of large red wines later it was time to go. Bill around £110 before service charge which, in these times, was reasonable for high quality food. This was an early Friday evening as nothing available later when trying to book 24 hours in advance so probably book a bit further out for next time. Because there will be a next time. Personally wish they did a fillet (rib eye seems the standard).

Lovely little restaurant. Fantastic food and great atmosphere

Excellent for lunch, can't wait to try it in the evening.

My wife and I were a 10-day break in the Forest of Bowland and stopped here on our way back from Barley. Glad we did as the food was really excellent. Ticks all of my boxes - not trying to be too clever - just well chosen, fresh ingredients cooked really well. Even though it was a bit of a drive from where we were staying, we came back a few days later. Over the two visits we had the salmon and dill, salads, olives as starters. The cod, and the hake dishes for mains (and swapped each visit). Then the treacle tart was so good the first time, we had it again 2nd visit. Sublime. Probably won't drive the 200 miles from home just to visit again, but next time we are anywhere near it will be a must. If we lived nearer it would be our 'go to' eaterie.

What a dining gem amongst Whalley's if not the  Ribble Valley's renowned eating establishments. A clever, honest fusion of English/French cuisine. New World and French wines to expertly compliment all choices and courses. Do not expect large portions, this restaurant prefers quality over quantity. As a pescatarian and a none sweet desert eater, I am often limited in choice, not here. The assiette of seafood was simpley sublime. The fruit cake accompanying the selection of cheese's is light and flavour rich. The meat eaters in my party also waxed lyrical about their Ribeye stesk and the Sirloin roast beef. If there was a suggestion to be made it is to include a black pepper biscuit/waffer to mop up the scrummy gin infused dressing of the salmon starter. This little restaurant is a serious contender for a culinary award!

Hadn't booked but they squeezed us in at the back. Excellent food, friendly service

Attracted by the sarnies but sadly not available on Sunday ! So we ordered the excellent salmon starter. Flavoured with gin I think. Beautifully done. And some chips. And some bread. Hey presto ! Service was great throughout. Convivial atmosphere and great decor. Seats were v comfy !

Come here often as it’s a firm favourites with lots of my friends who visit. Most recently came with friends to celebrate an engagement - the food is consistently a 10/10, the French onion soup is a must, always attentive service and great value for money! A must visit!!

This restaurant is set in the centre of the Whalley and is really welcoming with a great atmosphere. We started with the French Onion Soup ... a classic soup I remember well from catering college. The soup is a timeless classic and it was executed to perfection. We had steak and fries for the main course which was cooked on point. We shared a treacle tart for dessert which was delicious. The wine was superb as well, which had been recommended by the team. Fantastic service with exceptional food. Following this visit I took a team from work who had a great night!! Cant wait for my next visit later this month

Best food we have had for a while.

Picked Whalley as a half way point to meet a friend. Not been before. Boy am I glad I picked this restaurant. We arrived at 6pm. The place was packed by 7pm. Chose the chicken livers and tuna as starters and the piggy salad to share for the main. Followed by treacle tart and crème brûlée. It was absolutely and utterly fantastic. Every last bit of it. Great buzz and Maurice and the staff were great. Wished I lived nearer too. It would be my go to place. Definitely recommend. It was approx £100 for two with a bottle of Rose but well worth it. 😀

Fantastic all round 10/10 Three of us dined on a Friday afternoon for my mates birthday, we had two prawn dishes and the liver for starters which was beautiful then all had the croque madam which was delicious. Look forward to going again

A really good mid week lunch. Friendly service and good value. Delicious food. Good wine and coffee. Nobody hurried us.

We had a nice lunch last week. My husband really enjoyed the steak. I had the chicken liver starter which was very tasty. I had the fish mains but I found it a bit underwhelming as it was served on its own with no potato or vegetables. Next time I will try something else

I’m sorry I don’t live closer as I would visit every month, without question. One of the most memorable meals I’ve had. The food was superb, the staff were fantastic and the atmosphere was great.

You would be hard pressed to not be impressed here. They get everything absolutely right. Great menu, great service, really good food and a sense that the rolls working here really care about what they serve up and what you think about it. As good an English restaurant as I’ve been to in a long time

Fantastic food, atmosphere and service. The French onion soup was delicious, the steak frites cooked beautifully and the choux dessert was one of the tastiest desserts I’ve had in a long while! We can’t wait to return!

Excellent food, fantastic service……what is not to like ? French onion soup and Ribeye steak with a nice bottle of red wine. Steak was excellent quality, but if being 100% honest was over cooked. Medium rare was more med - well but this would not...

A friend was kind enough to buy us a voucher and introduce us to this place. The food, service, atmosphere is absolutely excellent. The rib-eye steak was out of this world. A fantastic evening and one we'll definitely be repeating.

The food was sublime. Good Wines also. We will definitely return thank you.

Myself and 5 friends spent an enjoyable Saturday night having an excellent and most enjoyable meal in this local restaurant. Service was immaculate and the food was delicious. There was a great atmosphere as all tables were full. Everything was cooked and presented perfectly. This restaurant is a hidden gem. Vegan options are available if notified ahead as we did for one guest.

Had a fabulous three course meal. King prawns and Manx scallops for starter, which seemed a popular dish with other diners. Had char grilled pork for main course which was cooked perfectly, served with a spicy red cabbage, crispy small potatoes and small cubes of...

Stylish restaurant with excellent menu. Good service and reasonable prices. Especially enjoyed the french onion soup.

Medium sized Menu but you will not be disappointed. Best food for miles .

Booked at short notice and was given a 3pm slot for sunday lunch. 3 of us arrived and were dealt with promptly and politely. A concise menu of seasonal food, a decent well priced wine list and a very mellow ambience made for a lovely...

This place is absolutely fantastic. I ring and tell them that I am vegan and they always have an amazing choice of delicious food for me. My non vegan friends really enjoy their food too.

We had a fantastic meal here on Thursday. The service is always fantastic and the food was wonderful as always. Thank you

A truly exceptional bistro dining experience ; the lunchtime menu is varied and superbly presented with the greatest food flavours and highest quality of produce . A truly stand out dining location .

First time I’d been to the Bistro and was not disappointed. The service was exemplary and the food quality equally matched. We will be back!

One of the best Sunday Lunches I've had in a very long time. My mum had the confit duck and pork roulette to start and I had the king prawn and Manx queenies gratin. Both were absolutely delicious. Then we both had the roast beef...

Lovely evening last night eating some of the best food in lancashire for ages. Fresh, hot, seasoned and presented so well. I had cod with cannellini beans mussels and chorizo- it was superb - the fish especially was cooked beautifully. All for if us were...

Only a few tables so very attentive service. Food was amazing and great value. Took a party of 5 visitors there and we tested lots of things. None of us were disapointed

Just had a fantastic meal at King Street Kitchen. The selection was great and the quality of the food excellent. In addition the service was brilliant. If I could give 10* I would.

Honestly , IMO this is one of the best restaurants on the Planet ! That good 👍 Not a massive , extensive menu but a sensible selection of fresh beautiful quality food , very well presented by friendly and professional staff at not unreasonable prices ..What’s not to like ..We’ll be back ..A lot !!!!

High quality scoff with fine service. Expensive but worth it…….the French Onion Soup…..Yum Yum and the same was true of the Duck Comfit

Good food, good surroundings, reasonable prices, exceptional service but unfortunately missed something? Worth giving a try. Not my type of venue.... but at 60+ I may be difficult to please.

Lovely late lunch great service will use again

Called in last night very last minute and shared a starter, main and cheese board with my partner. Everything was first rate, staff were accomdating and a lovely ambience in the place. We will definitely go back and would highly recommend.

We`ve visited King Street Kitchen many times and have never taken the time to write a review .... until now. Every experience we`ve had at the restaurant has been amazing and the place just seems to get better and better (prompting this long-overdue review). The...

Dined here at lunch time,excellent service and the food was delicious. Would recommend a visit if you are in the area.

First time in Whalley & chose King Street Kitchen from reviews. Brilliant meal, had chicken supreme it was so tasty, also Piri Piri chicken for my partner. Definitely a good choice, definitely recommend

We travelled from Manchester to eat here and it was well worth the travel time. We chose the Sunday lunch option, the beef was cooked to perfection and the gravy the best I’ve ever tasted. The star for me though was the treacle tart, beautifully...

We went for a quick lunch and it did not disappoint! The Croque Monsieur was perfect and was the cajun chicken sandwich! Very friendly service and a nice atmosphere. If I lived closer this would be a regular!

Walked in without an appointment on a Sunday evening just by looking at the menu. Not being local and not being aware of what to expect this was definitely an amazing find for us. Has good vegetarian options too. Please ask for them and food tasted really nice and the portions were very good. Hospitality and service was top class… a good recommendation for anyone who wants to enjoy some good food over a nice conversation…

This is a fantastic resturant. We visited on a Saturday evening. The service was excellent. We had the duck and the ribeye steak, both cooked to perfection.

We visited this beautiful place for a sunday roast meal with friends. Really enjoyed every course. The salmon, roast beef, aspen fries, dessert. Highly recommend this place also for the service, the wine and the interiors. Enjoyed every minute! Thanks a lot!

Absolutely stunning Sunday roast! Best we ever had!

Called in for lunch today. Delicious food, fast service, good value, nice tables & comfy seats. Will be back! 👍

Lovely evening at King Street Kitchen. The food was incredible and a great mix of choice. Service was fantastic and very friendly staff. We would highly recommend visiting!

Really good service. Ordered French onion soup which was really nice. Followed by steak and aspen fries, the steak was lovely albeit a bit salty. And finished with a biscoff style doughnut. Will definitely come back ✌

Best Sunday roast I've had in a long time

Fab food, lovely team. Really can't fault it. Will become a regular haunt from now on.

We were staying in Grindleton and I researched nearby restaurants and this came top by far. We came for Sunday lunch. Delicious! A friendly greeting. We opted for the Sunday dinner, roast sirloin, roast potatoes in goose fat and accompanying vegetables. Did I say delicious?...

The King Street Kitchen is deceptive. You could be forgiven for driving through Whalley and not catching a glimpse of this incredible restaurant, given its set-back position on the high street. Yet, if you have travelled in Italy, and had the experience of stumbling upon...

This restaurant is a must visit experience. The decor is classy and clean . The food was excellent , tasty and well presented. Service was attentive whilst being understated / overly gushing. Attractively priced food , especially when the quality is taken on board ....

Visited last night with friends. Amazing food. Rang ahead to let them know I am vegan to see if that was a problem. Which it wasn’t at all. I had pea veloute and Savoy cabbage with garlic puré to follow . Absolutely delicious.! Staff friendly...

Great food and service. Little expensive however.

Nice restaurant in Whalley .Great menu well prepared and served by very good staff .Would recommend

Called here for dinner with my wife while on a Wednesday evening while making a short visit to the Ribble valley . A warm welcome from the staff preceeded what was a excellent dining experience. A varied menu offered plenty of choice .Service was exceptional...

Great service here from booking right through to paying the bill. Food was beautiful and the four of us all had three courses. Will definitely return.

Excellent food and service, so good we went back a second time during our short stay in Whalley. Particularly recommend the supreme of chicken and the chicken and chorizo salad.

Excellent lunch would recommend the chocolate choux bun delicious

OMG a lovely quaint place and delicious food. Lovely staff and service 😋😍💕

Really great food beautifully presented. Lovely ambiance in restaurant. Great service. Highly recommend.

Great service, friendly and quick. Limited but well thought out menu. Food beautifully cooked. Easy to tell there's a skilled chef who cares about what they're sending out. Front of house team equally as good. Excellent coffee and dessert to finish off. We've been meaning...

not far from Whalley is one of the best restauarnts it has a 1 maybe 2 Michelin* but 2 miles away is this little jewel called King Street Kitchen. Food wise, ambience, and really good top class service I would say this Jewel will far...

Wow without seeming too gushy the food was off the scale. Prawns to start and steak. 24 hours later still thinking about the food. Service and staff awesome. Fabulous place.

Excellent Sunday Lunch! Roast beef superbly cooked with all the trimmings and choux bun for desert along with a very good bottle of house red. Would definitely recommend! Very nice ambiance inside and friendly service.

Delicious food from good menu choices with excellent service. Really enjoyed our visit and will definitely visit again.
