Northcote Restaurant in Ribble Valley

Fabulous Champagne Set Dinner. Each of the 4 courses was as ever amazing.Each course being an explosion of textures and tastes. Our dietary issues were well covered by slight change to the main menu. The meal was preceded by amazing snacks . We had avery comfortable overnight stay during Storm Lilian.We awoke to an area power cut. The staff had sprung into action and were able to serve hot tea and coffee by firing up the outside BBQ. A light breakfast was served in their usual professional way.

Another great visit to Northcote on our anniversary with Lisa’s 5 course gourmet dinner with wine flight and overnight stay. Very friendly staff

Northcote Manor Michelin star establishment, fantastic food, excellent service and beautiful surroundings what’s not to like.

We have been eating (and occasionally staying) at Northcote for over 20 years and yet again the total experience from arriving to leaving was outstanding. We still cannot understand how Michelin seem reluctant to award this establishment more than 1 Michelin Star. We have had the privilege of eating in Michelin restaurants all over Europe and Northcote is easily on the same level as those and more than likely above. Well done to everyone at Northcote!

From the moment you arrive, nothing is too much trouble. The amazing reputation that Northcote enjoys is richly deserved - both food and rooms are gorgeous. This was not our first visit and we can’t wait to come back and experience service at another level.

Fabulous standard of service and fabulous food. We have eaten at Northcote many times. This week was a very last minute booking and luckily we were able to get a table. The ambience, the service and the food were all outstanding as always.

We wanted something very special to celebrate a family birthday and a friend's retirement. We were not disappointed. Lisa and her team never fail to deliver. The meal was stunning and the service was efficient, informative and as friendly as ever. Thanks again for a memorable evening. We will be back.

St. George’s day meal. We were lucky to be at chefs table so we could see the action in the kitchen. The food was spectacular with regular ability to speak with Lisa and top man Craig. From the moment you arrive you are treated so well, your enjoyment being the priority. Go and see what you’ve been missing. Thank you for celebrating our national day.

We originally booked for lunch (as for the price and quality it’s is superb value for money) but decided to stay over and have dinner. We had Al a carte with extra mid courses. All were superb (with exception of the roscoff onion - way too cold). All other dishes were delicious and the cheese bread is really moorish. We also loved the front of house team. Young and local willing to chat with the guests. We loved them ( people on the next table less so lol).

Great food, great staff, excellent overall experience with some nice touches for my birthday. Also a good location for exploring the Ribble valley.

The Cookery School, at Northcote Manor, Nr. Blackburn,Lancs, what an incredible experience on the Mumbai Spice Trail.

I booked the Chef's Table for 15 mixture of family and friends for an 80th birthday. the service was very attentive, but not overbearing. The food was excellent, everybody has commented on what a lovely evening they had. The chef, Lisa, came in to speak with us for a few minutes, and that was very informative and set the rest of the evening up nicely. I am looking forward to returning for dinner another time. It is well worth the whole dining experience with delicious food.

Great service from all the staff, delicious food - a well put-together tasting menu. Some of the portions were really tiny (canapé-sized) which I thought was very small even for a tasting menu (conversely the soufflé for dessert was massive!). My only niggle was the info on the website said to allow 2.5 hours for a leisurely dining experience; our booking was at 7pm and we weren't served our very last course until 11:25pm. We were pretty hungry still! We were kindly offered a pre-dessert before our dessert since there was an issue in the kitchen, but still, even without this we would still have been eating over almost a 4 hour window, which for me is a bit too long to enjoy 5 courses. Really lovely evening overall though, would recommend.

Definatly need to Book in advance. I took my daughter for her 30th birthday. It's not just the food that you go for it's the full experience. From start to finish it was amazing including a birthday card on our table signed by all staff.

What a wonderful experience having the gourmet meal and over night stay. Staff very pleasant and helpful, explained the different courses. Will book again.

Over the years, I've been a few times and this restaurant is always a lovely experience. Very friendly staff. Great food and service. Don't miss trying their Obsession Gin!

Amazing food in a beautiful restaurant. We had the spring tasting menu. Every course was a delight. The number of different tastes and textures in one snack/ or on one plate are amazing. Every plate was served with a full description . The staff are all very knowledgeable and all have a friendly yet professional approach. Our pre dinner drinks and the wine we had to accompany the meal were served at the appropriate times

A completely wonderful lunch. We were warmly and kindly welcomed by lovely front of house staff, who were delightful throughout - friendly, helpful, courteous, good humoured, human and never stuffy. We were celebrating an occasion and had the gourmet lunch. It was absolutely lovely food, served beautifully, in a great and friendly location. A very memorable occasion and a complete pleasure, pairing astonishingly nice food with really super service.

The food, the presentation, the service, the ambience all excellent but it comes at a price. We feel lucky to live quite near to this wonderful restaurant which is always our very special occasion venue. Today the rabbit pillow with the most amazing sauce was the star of the show but all 4 courses were delicious.

So, this is a very expensive experience, but it's exactly that, an experience. They say first impressions count, well the young girl on reception - sorry didn't get your name - was so personable, but professional at the same time, so lovely to chat with her. Accommodation was really nice too, Penhaligons toiletries, very comfortable bed. On to the main event, we arrived at the bar - after a few at the Black Bull 15 mins walk away - and we were greeted with an explanation of the menu. On to the food, the room had about 30 tables? quite distanced, we had the wine pairing (glass) then the food, wow. I don't drink white wine, but I can tell you, the sommelier did a fantastic job, she explained everything about the wine, so talented. The food was absolutely fantastic, I'll eat anything, my wife is more fussy, but she loved everything. As this was our first experience at a Michelin star restaurant, we've put it off for sometime but I would only advise to just go if you can. We've got the bug now, although I'll have to get saving. As we left, the same young girl was at reception, still got the same lovely greeting, a credit!

Lovely relaxed and delicious lunch for my husbands 60th birthday. Lovely attentive staff, a very enjoyable day. Would recommend if you want some a bit special .

We had the most wonderful lunch here to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. From the moment we arrived the team made us feel very special and were very attentive. The 4 course set lunch was something else! Every course was delivered with an overview of...

Beautiful Sunday lunch with exceptional service. Excellent food and definitely recommend the wine pairing. Lovely ambiance. The food was amazing from the snacks to dessert not to mention the warm Lancashire cheese bread!

A great dining experience and over night stay. We loved it and will try to make this an annual event. The whole day was first class and the staff were very professional and knowledgeable in all matters.

Exceptional food, great service and a lovely setting. We hope to return again soon. Also, the mocktail was so good that I didn’t mind that I had to drive!

Great alternative to going to the Grand National event in Aintree. We travelled from Aintree to Northcote to sit in comfort whilst dining on delicious food watching the races and placing bets. We decided to stay overnight, too, as an extra treat. ❤️

We went to Northcotes as we had a wedding gift voucher. What a way to celebrate our first anniversary. The staff were professional, friendly and informative. The staff have been well trained which added to the overall experience. The food was sublime from start to...

As always we had a superb lunch in our favourite restaurant. All staff are friendly & extremely knowledgeable about the food & wines led by Craig who gives great tips re the menu. The food was delicious & beautifully presented. The atmosphere in the dining...

After arriving in Lancashires best of the wind, rain and dreariness we were immediately lifted by the warm and heartfelt welcome we received from the front of house. Craig explained the 5 course taster and A la Carte menus to us. I have to also...

A five star experience from start to finish. Canapés, starters, main courses and desserts all wonderful. Lovely service from everybody we met, too. We’ll be back!

Outstanding experience once again at Northcote. We travelled to have lunch celebrating 3 birthdays and we were not disappointed. It is always an amazing experience to dine at Northcote, and always a special treat to look forward to. The wonderful, knowledgeable staff, the ambience and...

Always excellent. Service, politeness, atmosphere all lovely. Food flavours wonderful. Love having the Seasonal Lunch at The Northcote. Nice countryside too

What a wonderful experience! We stayed the night in an exceptional room with all the comforts of home. The staff were a credit to the hotel/restaurant and were welcoming, efficient and there when you needed them. We enjoyed the gourmet taster menu, and whilst I...

We have been at the Northcote a few times for Lunch and Dinner. At times we have stayed to enjoy the full experience. We have never been disappointed. Lovely ambience, delicious food and superb service.

Our first visit since before Covid was no let-down. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like welcome guests with two sorts of amuse-bouche in the bar while we chose from the menu. Service was so good that we never needed to seek a...

Absolutely fabulous experience. We booked for my husband's birthday and we were made to feel so special from check in with Mia who walked us to our beautiful Junior Lodge suite. We had an amazing gourmet dinner experience with the wine flight - thank you...

Another amazing gourmet lunch by Lisa and tram. Lovely light menu with seasonal produce. The service was faultless. Can’t wait to go back again and my granddaughter loved her birthday treat. Thank you Northcote.

My wife and l have just returned from a weekend visit to the Northcote. From beginning to end our stay was truly exceptional. The highlight being the five course gourmet dinner, which was some of the best food we had ever eaten. The establishment is...

Fabulous experience staff first class very welcoming and attentive food was amazing the flavours presentation we will definitely be going again a very memorable lunch

I’ve wanted to go here for ages and I was taken by my Son for a Birthday treat , straight away I felt at ease the Staff are amazing so nice, but not over powering , so informative but not Show off, they make you...

Fabulous meal, attentive staff and gorgeous surroundings. The food really was top notch. I have been before and will most certainly be going again.

Fantastic atmosphere, food and service. Would highly recommend it for a special occasion treat. Would seriously consider staying again if in the area.

Lovely room, beautiful food, set in a beautiful part of the country. We were able to access our room before the official check in time as it was already for us.

Overnight stay with dinner. Room was amazing, clean and beautiful views of the countryside. All the staff were friendly and attentive. Food was fabulous.

We went to this lovely venue for Easter Sunday Lunch. From the moment we entered everything was delightful. Warm and courteous staff who were relaxed friendly and proficient in a beautiful comfortable setting. We were greeted with a welcome drink and served canapés as we...

Lovely meal , but slow. We arrived at 12.30 and left at 4 , five courses and coffee Staff good Surroundings good I felt that they struggled with one of us being vegetarian

This place is incredible! We celebrated our 11th anniversary on Weds 27th March 2024. The whole experience was amazing. Food and service was impeccable. I can’t even describe the food other than exceptional, every mouthful was a delight. The staff were all amazing, so attentive...

We visited Northcote for lunch for my birthday. The food was outstanding as were the staff. The building has a really nice relaxing but luxury feel and the staff couldn't do enough for us. We felt very welcome and can't wait to return.

We really enjoyed the seasonal set lunch which at £57.50 per head for four courses represents something of a bargain in the current market for a well established 1 star Michelin restaurant, the flavours are bold and the dishes are innovative and very well executed...

Another great Sunday lunch, we had the 4 course lunch and the Tempura Turbot was our chosen dish of the day. We’ll be back 🤗

I came for my Christmas gift, and it was 100% worth the wait. We had thought about coming for a while, but some of the mixed reviews in the past had delayed us doing so .... but we both had an amazing time. The staff...

Excellent service and food. The booking experience not so great - done on line and said transaction not complete- did it again and then found that the cost had been taken twice. Immediately phoned and got the price of the initial transaction refunded- however could...

Absolutely amazing food and setting, although was spoilt somewhat in the fact that no wine was offered to us at the dining table we had to ask for it twice whilst our main courses were being served, also only one glass of water provided and...

We were both disappointed in the service. Our glasses of tap water not refilled, we were not asked if we would like a glass of wine with our meal and i had to ask. No butter witu bread. Not attentive for price we were paying.

Had the Seasonal Gourmet Menu and thought the dishes were excellent. Really couldn't fault the food at all, with great combinations of flavours and cooking techniques styled in a visually engaging manner on the plate. Our service was led by the appropriately named Joy as...

The food was excellent! However, the service was below the standard expected of a 1 Michelin Starred restaurant. In particular, I had to personally ensure my wife's glass was filled during the meal service which I thought was inattentive from the front of house staff....

My husband brought me here for my birthday lunch, food was very lovely served by fantastic staff who where very knowledgeable and very friendly and made my day extra special. Restaurant is in a lovely setting with fantastic views over Pendle hill. Will definitely be...

We recently had a one night stay at Northcote having booked for the 5 course Gourmet dinner. What a wonderful experience. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food delicious. Our room was spacious and cozy. Definitely worth a visit especially for a special...

Enjoyed a lovely seasonal lunch at Northcote Manor with friends. The service was exceptional with very friendly and professional staff. The food was excellent. It was a fantastic experience enjoyed by all. We will definitely return.

Care, attention & food from a royal palace & we’re not from the royal family! Definitely worth a visit for a special occasion.

Excellent visit again… everyone is welcoming and friendly and super attentive to whatever you want. The food was excellent, particularly the Orkney scallop starter and the veal sweetbread. The homemade bread is so yummy… we had to ask for it to be removed after one...

Lovely and tasty Had the 5 course tasting menu Food was so tasty Relaxed atmosphere Wonderful staff Kind and caring Friendly and attentive

I always look forward to a trip to Northcote, and it did not disappoint on this occasion. The outdoor lift worked perfectly, the service was attentive and the food was divine. Each dish, visually, was like a little portrait on the plate. I had the...

Everything from arrival to departure was excellent. The staff were fantastic and we had everything we needed without having to ask. The food looked amazing and the taste was wonderful. Highly recommended.

This is a comfortable hotel with friendly helpful staff. We have stayed several times before. We have always enjoyed the food. We had several of the 'Covid meals. Which we also enjoyed. This time for the first night we had the five course menu. We...

Blown away, incredible lunch, amazing food in a lovely location. Lisa's flavours were stunning and the team very welcoming. A great experience, having travelled from Leicester on a whim!

Everything was perfect, the staff were all very friendly and smiling all the time, the atmosphere was very nice indeed. The food was amazing and the room very comfortable, thanks

Our first visit and we’ll definitely be back. We had 3 course Spring lunch menu and each course was delicious and artfully presented. Very attentive professional staff. Thank you

Fantastic service and amazing food. Staff could not do enough. Very pleasant and comfortable surroundings in a beautiful setting. Felt special.

Superb hotel. Very helpful and efficient staff. The room (standard) was beautiful - large, airy, well equipped with a lovely view - I could not fault it at all. Dinner was sublime. This was our main reason for coming. Lisa Goodwin Allen’s restaurant was wonderful. Certainly lived up and delivered to a Michelin Star level. We opted for the 5 Course Gourmet Tasting Menu and every course was perfect. We have been to many 1-3 Michelin Star restaurants and we must say this is in our top 3 it was simply wonderful. Every course was picture perfect and fully delivered on flavour and balance. We are arranging to visit the restaurant again in a couple of months. Simply sublime.

This is our 4 visit,went for our wedding anniversary, had the gourmet dinner, was still very good although not a fan of the sweetbreads, which seems to always be on the menu. Everything else was excellent, the breakfast cheese souffle is the highlight of my...

Was looking forward to a special birthday treat but I was left unwhelmed by the experience. In general I believe that for the price we paid for the meal and drinks that it was just not value for money.

The food is extremely tasty, well balanced with excellent (smallish) portion sizes. Given the effort in presentation you expect a limited menu and that is what you get. Personally, the food is just a little too "rich" but the Northcote is a definite to visit...

We came for the Sunday lunch menu and it certainly did not disappoint. Every course was exquisite and we loved every moment. Our visit was a Christmas present to our parents and it was prefect. Thank you, already making plans to come again.

Perfect anniversary celebration, and the restaurant surpassed our expectations. Very much focused on the needs of the customer, and my seafood and gluten allergies presented no problem for the kitchen team. The food is beautifully presented and elegant, so full of flavour and well paired...

Northcote Restaurant has a lovely, relaxed and comfortable ambience. The staff are very professional and friendly and the service is impeccable. We enjoyed our family lunch very much but felt that the menu selection was a little restrictive. There was a vegetarian diner with us...

The experience couldn’t of been better The service and food we excellent The staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful Will definitely be back

You certainly don't go to Northcote for a meal, it's a 'dining experience' or a piece of dining theatre. First time visit and found all the staff very welcoming. The dietary restriction that we had flagged when booking the table had been duly logged and...

We had booked the Gourmet meal for our 10th wedding anniversary, having seen the menu that was presented by Lisa at their Obsession event on social media, we were excited to try it. The venue is lovely, more traditional than we are used to but...

A wonderful lunch at one of our favourite restaurants. The food was amazing and the service is impeccable. If we want a treat we go to Northcote

Amazing food, staff were brilliant and really attentive. It was everything I was expecting and more. Each course was a flavour explosion, and a delight to look at.

This was our first visit to Northcote. My husband booked it to celebrate my “special” Birthday. From the moment we arrived we were treated really well. All the staff were really kind. I had a pre-lunch peach Bellini and my husband had a beer. The...

Firstly, two of our party were staying on a Gourmet Break and four of us were joining them but were not keen on the gourmet menu so requsted the à la carte. This was not allowed!! First disappointment. We waited ages for pre dinner drinks....

It is always a pleasure to return to Northcote where a friendly welcome always awaits. The staff training is fantastic and the whole team deliver great service on every level. Our room in the main house was well appointed, clean and had all the necessary...

Very high quality food, beautifully presented. The lunch menu offers an affordable Michelin dining experience with some more expensive options for the discerning. Well paired wine flight. Came for lunch without an overnight booking but we were accommodated for the night, met friends in the...

The most amazing lunch experience. The staff are so attentive, and the food was delicious. An array of colour and flavour. A real treat for the senses. Nothing was too much trouble, very knowledge and compassionate staff. The Lobster pillow was the best starter I've...

The lunch was delightful, and the service is professional and very friendly. Highly recommended and i will definitely return. Also the cookery course i was on was also all of the above.

I received the gift of a day at the Nothcote Cookery school dough to crust breadmaking day. The day was great from tea and toast on arrival to a full day learning how to prepare a bake lots of different breads, which we got to...

Wonderful lunch. Beautifully prepared meal,fabulous wine pairing, attentive service.What more could you want?I have been to most of the top restaurants in England and in my view Northcote Manor whilst currently holding 1 star is really a 2 star restaurant in waiting.

We went for lunch and had a wonderful experience, the food is fantastic and the atmosphere relaxed. Service impeccable

Great meal and drinks. Timing exquisite. Starters were amazing. Main course choice of salmon, chicken or vegetarian wasn’t too inspiring but we loved the whole thing. We’ve done 4 michelin star places and this is the best.

We booked the chef’s table for my mum’s 80th. We all felt like VIPs from the minute we arrived. The food was amazing, as was the service. It didn’t disappoint.

A lovely place. The staff, without exception, were well trained and courteous without being "over the top". The food was truly memorable. I would highly recommend for a special night away.

Went for a family lunch, had the seasonal menu, cannot fault the meal, we all went to heaven and back on all three courses, the service is second to none. Will defiantly, without question return. Well done.

Always a delight to come here. Staff are welcoming but not overwhelming and the food was sensational. i am now a convert to squab pigeon. As a part of a couple where one can't drink alcohol it is also a joy to be able to...

From start to finish we were made to feel so special. The service is second to none and the food, as you’d expect, was out of this world. Can’t wait to go again . Thank you Northcote for making a special day very memorable

Stunning food and fabulous service. After waiting a few years to finally come to Northcoates we were not disappointed.

It's rather old-fashioned style of service, common out of urban centres - you are expected to begin and end your meal in the lounge and order there, rather than at your table. And to choose your desert when ordering the rest of your food. I'm...

This is our second cookery course at Northcotes. The Chef Rick makes the course fun as well as teaching culinary skills. The two course lunch was excellent and was lovely to meet Lisa Goodwin-Allen.

The service from walking into the building to leaving was at an extremely high standard. The food was amazing. And the pairing wines was the added extra we loved I have followed Lisa for a while and the food did not disappoint. The room were...
