Potters Barn in Ribble Valley

I had the sweet potato and chilli soup. Not particularly hot spicey but absolutely delicious served with fresh whole meal bread couldnt faulr it and highly recommend.

Lovely cafe. My son lives in Ribchester and had recommended we visit the cafe while we were there for a few days. We had coffee, smoothie and cakes all of which were really nice. We sat outside in the garden as the weather was sunny. The staff were lovely and very friendly. Will definitely be visiting again maybe for lunch next time.

We visited here several years ago and went back today. We had a lovely lunch sat outside in the sun. Our food, a jacket potato and a sandwich were lovely and came with really tasty salad and coleslaw. The young man who served us was so nice and we could see he was like that with all the customers he dealt with. We will not leave it so long until we go again. Maybe go earlier so we can try out the breakfast menu.

Really lovely little cafe, the service was exceptional, I had a panini which tasted great, and the shop had lots of lovely bits, would definitely recommend :)

Lovely find on a lovely off spec day out, great choice, lovely staff, dog friendly , great lunch, home made food, good find

Beautiful food, best salads ever (radishes, grapes, blueberries, allsorts!) Local butchers andertons bacon & sausage, lovely gardens, pottery painting and beautiful items & local artwork for sale!

Great cafe with a varied menu of food and drinks. Food was really tasty, with good portions and great value. Felt very homely sat on a table in front of the coal fire. Service was good. We will be returning thanks. Managed to get a table today without reservation but only due to arrival just after midday. I would anticipate it getting really busy at times so reservations maybe necessary

We've eaten here a couple of times, one for breakfast and once for lunch. Food and drinks have always been excellent and reasonably priced. Service is friendly too. We have also had a go at the pottery painting which was great.

My favourite cafe in this area. Always warm and welcoming. The food is always good, home cooked and varied and Charlie and her staff are so friendly.

Excellent from beginning to end. From the staff, timing of orders taken and delivered and quality of produce.

Very nice cafe tucked away in the centre of Ribchester, beside the car park. Very good sandwiches and nice selection of cakes.Lovely spot outside when the weathers good too.

A really lovely place with incredible staff who we’re absolutely wonderful. We painted pottery and there was a brilliant selection with loads of colours to choose from - absolutely recommend to everyone! We had coffee too which was perfect

First visit and hidden gem. The menu was varied and all food home cooked and hot. Excellent customer service. Open fire was wonderful and so cosy. Inside the seating is nice and comfortable. Menu excellent and spoilt for choice. Cakes to die for. Definitely on my must come back list

We loved this little quirky venue. The food seemed expensive for what it was but we really enjoyed the cosy feel and the quirky style.

we had a lovely lunch here good food right price. good service quirky china cupes i had soup and pate and bread and cutney and salad and soup

Nice foor, pleasant,responsive and efficient service and good veggie selection. An attractive, quirky place with a range of food options - including frozen meals if you're self-catering. Outdoor seating availalbe

My wife and I called in for lunch. Despite not having booked, the staff made us feel really welcome, and soon we were seated in the small secluded garden. The menu is varied and we were hard-pressed to choose- everything sounded delicious. Finally, we both settled for one of the specials; the Ploughmans. When it arrived, it was as good as we had hoped, loads of ham, two sausage rolls, three different local cheeses, salad and chutney. The location of the cafe is perfect, located near both the car park and the Roman museum and bath house ruins. The staff were competent, professional and freindly- what more can we say. we will be back, hopefully very soon.

We have been to a few pottery painting parties here and had a really good time so we decided to paint and eat here ourselves over the holidays. The food is really tasty and it is a lovely little setting and I am so glad it does well for itself. The major let down of the barn, and what I have experienced each time we have visited and from comments from other people who have been- is how brusque and candid the owner can be- to both paying customers and staff. I honestly can’t believe there aren’t more comments about it on here. I realise you are busy and people may accidentally get in the way when they walk into the small entrance, or ask you for the price of something, but just be patient and kind to people- we very nearly walked back out the way we were greeted when we arrived and this really does put me off returning which is such a shame.

Myself and my little girl (5) had lunch and painted a pot here. Food was yummy - I had the Korma. Really tasty and lots of it. Lots of choice of pots to paint. It isn't the cheapest but a lovely activity in a nice setting. Coffee, cake and icecream also yummy. Would highly recommend.

What a gem of a place in this cute little village Set next to a large field, wooden playground & basketball court. Pay & Display car park next to it. Outdoor seating , some covered. Seating inside and a small amount upstairs Quirky and different items for sale upstairs. Toilets upstairs All the staff we dealt with were lovely and friendly and helpful Out of the 4 of us, 2 of us chose to paint a pot and we have to collect them in a week when they have been in the kiln. Not cheap to paint a pot, a side plate and a small square pot were £31 in total The food was lovely and fresh Definitely would recommend

Wonderful little cafe. Owner and staff were lovely! Really warm and welcoming. Had ice cream and drinks. Will definitely be returning!

A wonderful venue. Very friendly staff. All round fabulous. Somehow, they turn the traditional English Breakfast into something you associate with home and good times. Very much recommended!

After visiting the churchyard and taking a dog walk down by the lovely river , I decided to stop off at the barn to grab a drink. I was pleasantly surprised that the barn was dog friendly both outside and inside, so I took a nice comfy sofa seat by the window. As the menu contained plenty of lovely dishes I ordered a goats cheese & onion tart to go with my drink. The food was delicious and substantial. The service was friendly and prompt, I even got biscuits for the dog. A lovely place, pretty full for a lunchtime and nice to find somewhere open on a Monday

Came here for lunch with our toddler. Lovely setting and we thought we had found a fab little cafe. Unfortunately we were very wrong. We ordered to paininis which were nice enough but a bit small and a cheese sandwich for the toddler. The sandwich was made with a crust of bread which apart being laughable would have been extremely difficult for a toddler to chew through. I sent this back and the next sandwich that came was warm. They had clearly defrosted the bread in a microwave and the cheese was semi melted on it. It was appalling. When I sent this back i told them it was warm and that we had now been waiting 40 minutes for 2 panini's and a sandwich. I was told by the waitress that they were very busy as 2 members of staff had called in sick and they had served 80 people today. I'm the paying customer. I couldn't care less what your staffing situation is. My priority was getting my hungry child fed and it's not easy entertaining a toddler for that long in that situation. Not got enough staff then inform people there will be a wait or don't be greedy and stop doing take out so the staff can keep up. Pretty sure we were over charged as well but by this time my toddler was long overdue her nap so I just paid and left.

Feeling slightly hungover (after attending a wedding the night before) we headed over to Potters Barn for breakfast. The walk through Ribchester was stunning and everyone we passed seem to be so friendly and happy! On arrival the signage is excellent there are different entrances...

Excellent food. Good friendly service. Nice surroundings. Great value for money. Vegetarian and other special products.

Visited today to have an afternoon coffee. We were seated, had covid details taken and left with menu. After some time another couple came to a nearby table. They had their order taken immediately and drinks delivered. As we were still ignored we left. Therefore...

The location, the atmosphere, the decor and the food are as interesting and as much fun as the menu.

On the way through Ribchester came across the Potters Barn. Had a very pleasant afternoon tea. Home made cake very nice experience. Pleasant staff helpful well worth a visit.

Very pleasant place, sat in garden and had a nice breakfast. My daughter had granary toast, avocado, bacon and egg. I had a very tasty bacon sandwich on granary toast.. Drinks good and staff pleasant

This is a must place to visit for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea. My husband absolutely loved the breakfast and went back again the next day.

Charlie runs a fantastic little cafe. Voted the best in Lancashire. Great food and wonderful friendly service. A gem of a place.

We stopped off in Ribchester on the way through to do some walking along the river Ribble. We came across the Potters Barn next to the main car park in the village. We had our Jack Russell Coco with us so were on the lookout...

Visited for lunch today as they have vegan options on the menu and are very accommodating, as I asked for a jacket potato with the houmous and roasted red pepper sandwich filling and some avocado, which was no problem. My husband asked if the Tuscan...

Went for a walk from Longridge to Ribchester and called in for breakfast. We had the poached eggs and avocado on toast. It was really nice and good value. Will definitely call again

Lovely quirky building and gardens, easy parking and friendly staff. We had a tasty breakfast here, we were allowed to take our time, the staff were happy to chat without being intrusive and the coffee was good. Importantly for us it was very dog friendly.

We have been staying at Ribchester for a week and visited the Potters Barn twice. Our daughter loved painting the pottery, the staff were so friendly and accommodating, and we had a really lovely and relaxing time. Sat in the garden and inside and loved it all. As we are leaving today they have offered to post us our pottery which will be a really nice thing to receive when we get home. Thanks to all the staff.

Stayed in Ribchester at the end of July and a friend left me a voucher to use at The Potters Barn. Went for a brunch and had avocado and poached eggs on granary toast. It was wonderful and very reasonably priced indeed. The staff were lovely and friendly and despite all the Covid restrictions, were welcoming and friendly. As a lone traveller - this meant a lot. Will definitely return when I'm in the area again.

Visited March 15 @1145. Packed out. Just one table free. Thank goodness. I had soup and granary bread. A huge deep bowl of Tom and lentil arrived. Wow! Absolutely fantastic. Best soup ever had. Great place. Very small. Do pottery painting as well. Very popular. Great pjace

What to do with a four year old on a rainy half term Tuesday?! I decided to revisit Potters Barn, which I'd previously been to with a friend for coffee and cake, and find out what the painting was all about. On arrival we were greeted by the friendly owner who, despite a packed café, found us a place to paint upstairs. I ordered one of the delicious flat whites and a babyccino for the nipper. We shared a piece of chocolate smartie cake - plenty for the two of us. There was a wide variety of pottery choice of items for children to paint - from inexpensive egg cups to large bowls. My little boy chose a racing car and we were given plenty of advice and tips about what to do and how to get the best results. There was wifi for me whilst he painted. The barn was busy upstairs and down with all manner of diners and grandparents/parents with children enjoying this fabulous activity. Three hours and three coats of paint later we had a bright red racing car which was taken by the staff to be glazed and painted; it was to be picked up a week later.I can't recommend this place enough: the coffee is delicious (and fairtrade); the homemade cakes are freshly baked, the fire is roaring and the owner very accommodating. It's a real jewel in Ribchester's crown.

Very good set and the food was amazing would definitely be coming back again and I recommend it to anyone that has kids

Called here for lunch recently, wet and muddy after a walk in the Ribble Valley, before visiting the nearby Roman remains and interesting museum. Had a chilli with nachos, rice and soured cream, some currant toast and a pot of tea. Good food, good value. Large range of lunch options and cakes. The place was rammed. Clearly very popular. Half-term week. Service efficient and friendly. Also licensed. Perfect drop-off venue on a walk.

Absolutely set us up for the day!! We got the full English!! Great food great service Couldn’t recommend more

Been here a couple of times with friends and it never fails to impress. I like the selection of homemade cakes and the coffee is fantastic. A roaring log fire on a winter day made it a special experience last time. Will be back for lnch!

This little place has been on my list of places to visit for a while, but haven't been in the area. So it was great to finally stop by for lunch. The food is freshly prepared, the breakfast is hearty, the spiced pumpkin soup was incredible! We will be back soon.

We visited on 17th October with two teenagers who wanted to participate in the pottery painting . the staff were very warm and welcoming and helped the girls to get set up with their paints etc. We were able to relax and enjoy the lovely atmosphere . we all had some lovely food including welsh rarebit and delicious crumble and custard. We spent two and a half hours there and never felt under pressure to leave. Thank you for a wonderful visit to a very special place. Its such a pity it was the last day of our holidays because we would definitely have made a return visit. Highly recommend.

Called in Potters Barn on a wet and windy day out in Ribchester. It was lovely warm and welcoming, an open fire made it cosy. The staff were friendly and chatty and the coffee and cake just perfect, slightly expensive cakes but well worth it. Pottery painting is available here whilst you have your coffee, although we didn't participate, the staff explained everything.Small gift shop upstairs and a large roomy toilet area. Would highly recommend and will certainly visit again.

Came on a return visit here and felt really disappointed when leaving. The place wasn’t very clean and tidy and it seemed to have lots of dirty things left lying about. We had the full breakfast and a jacket Potato. The breakfast was very mediocre and not very value for money with only 1 egg, 2 sausage, 2 rashes of bacon and a few beans. The jacket potato was very hard and the cheese had mould on. Such a shame as we had returned because our previous visit was so good! Hopefully they pick up on this and improve for future guests.

cottage style cosy cafe with a good range of foods including meals suitable for vegans and vegetarians. breakfast very good value. lovely welcoming service from owner and staff.

Popped in for lunch yesterday whilst visiting Ribchester. We sat outside in the pretty garden which made a pleasant change from the busy inside space. The food here is standard, wholesome but unadventurous and was exactly what we wanted for a quick lunchtime meal. At £5.00 for a sandwich served with salad and £5.95 for a jacket potato, again with salad garnish, prices are reasonable and Quality is good. We would eat there again.

Most cakes about £3.50 which I think is a bit too dear. Toilets upstairs but there are accessible toilets in the car park next door.

Nice food, pretty plates, but cramped tables and expensive for what you get. Winchester needs another cafe to give it some competition!

Found this place whilst staying for the weekend in Ribchester, so good we visited twice. Our first visit was for lunch and it was really busy with it being Mothers day weekend but they found a table for the 4 of us. The food was excellent, fresh, quality ingredients, made to order and a good selection (the cakes looked amazing but we were too full to try one). We loved how the food was served with some of it in little heart shaped ramekins, children's hot chocolate in small tea cups, milkshakes served in milk bottles, the extra effort to detail makes it stand out. The staff were friendly and couldn't do enough for you.We enjoyed it so much we went for breakfast on our last day in Ribchester, literally waiting outside for it to open. The breakfast was one of the best we have had, we ae fussy egg eaters but they accommodated our request for a well done egg and yolk only for the other one without a fuss and cooked them as we had asked, my son said it was the best sausage sandwich he has ever had.

Just called in to collect the pots we painted two weeks ago. Excellent menu offering healthy yet indulgent choices in a delightfully arty yet efficient premises

Called in for breakfast whilst walking the North West Way (Preston-Carlisle long distance walk). Very tasty breakfast and lovely helpful staff.

Enjoyed late lunch on a lovely sunny day in February. Outside seating set in a lovely garden. Very friendly staff. Good food.

The food was tasty and there was a lovely log fire burning. It was a bit of a squash, but a nice atmosphere. Prices are fair for what you get. If you park in the car park directly next to the cafe you need to pay for parking. They had clean highchairs available but the children's toys were very dirty.

Booked a pottery painting afternoon as a Christmas gift for 8 family members which we attended today. Wow! this place is amazing, the food was excellent quality, cakes to die for and to top it all off the price was more than value for money. We each painted a different piece of pottery which will be kiln finished and ready in a weeks time. It was a lovely way to spend time with family members. The staff are lovely and we can’t wait to go back next week to collect our goods oh and eat more delicious food.

We’ve visited here a couple times now, and have always found the staff extremely welcoming and friendly. However the Manager not so much, she comes across extremely rude, and when she’s polite it seems fake. The food was okay but the desserts were amazing. Would recommend to anyone visiting. The only thing letting it down is the cramped seating and moody owner.

Beautiful - the perfect hideaway for a crisp day. After a long walk in the freezing cold, what an amazing place to warm up. Log fire, friendly service and amazing coffee and cake. Definitely be back for more and to paint some pottery... Recommended

This place is a little gem and a real credit to the owner and staff. I’ve eaten here a few times after a walk in the countryside and have always enjoyed the food. Stopped by later on a Saturday and had the med veg pasta with garlic bread followed by the most amazing double chocolate loaf, warm with ice cream....if it’s there when you go don’t leave without trying it!! A very welcoming, cosy place.

We stopped here for lunch after making a small diversion into Ribchester to visit the Roman Museum when travelling to Clitheroe for an overnight stay. The cafe is very cosy, staff very welcoming and food was in our opinion delicious. My wife enjoyed sardines on very thick, hand cut toasted bread with a tomato chutney and salad. I had pate on toast with salad and coleslaw. I was served lots of toast and two types of pate - chicken liver with brandy and herbs; and stilton and cranberry. Both were excellent (must admit I was a bit dubious about the stilton one until I tasted it - sweetness of the cranberry softened the stron flavour and saltiness of the stilton and I'll be looking up a recipe to see if we can make this ourselves). My wife also picked up a couple of early Chrismas presents from the gift shop upstairs. I've seen some reviews complaining about the price of the food - it's not cheap, but what we had was excellent quality and I didn't feel that around £12 for the two lunches was unreasonable.

We came with my daughter and friend's daughter to paint and have lunch. The service was okay, it's a little cramped inside and with little ones constantly needing the toilet it was a little hardwork.

My husband and I stopped for a little lunch along with our 4 month old. It was our first visit but it certainly won’t be our last, even though space was limited we were made to feel so welcome and a place was found for us and our pram. The menu is extensive plus daily specials are on a chalk board on the wall. My husband enjoyed the chilli con carni served with sour cream and tortilla chips, the portion was generous, very tasty and steaming hot. I opted for one of the specials ‘patchwork pate’ which included roasted salmon pate and chicken & orange pate. Served with coleslaw, salad toast and some lovely home baked spelt biscuits. Service was very attentive throughout. Our reason for the visit was to decorate some pottery with our daughter’s feet, again the staff couldn’t have been more helpful we selected the pottery we wanted and were given paints, brushes etc to complete it we were also given some invaluable tips on how to get the best effect. We’ll certainly be coming back. Dogs are also welcome and we offered blankets to sleep on the flag floor. There is plenty of seating for warmer days and a take away shop if you don’t have time to stay.

Lovely setting in pretty village. Space is a bit cramped because of kids painting pottery on the cafe tables. Food is interesting and a bit different. I had a corned beef hash. Lovely bread and beetroot with it but the hash was a bit dry with large lumps of sweet potato in it, which I wasn’t keen on. Nice outdoor garden area. No hot water given with the pot of tea.

Called in here a few times for either breakfast or lunch and have never been disappointed. The food is always good with a varied choice and the staff always very cheerful and friendly. Lots of quirky things to see and a lovely gift shop upstairs. never tried pottery painting, but might one day!!

What a wonderful place full of quirky & delightful things, it oozes a warm & very friendly atmosphere. Their was five of us all in need of cooked breakfasts & it certainly didn't disappoint, I had a vegetarian cooked breakfast was delish & plenty of toast all served on mix matched dishes. The detox smoothly was delish & I think did it's job. What a lovely place to eat in or out. We will be back. Thanking you

We were looking for somewhere new to eat this was a great choice. Lovely food with lots of choice and vegetarian options. I had the warm goats cheese salad and it was delicious.

What an unexpected gem of a find, in the middle of a beautiful historical picture-postcard village! We came to see the Roman Museum, and stayed for hours, with lunch in the Potters Barn, next to the car park, was the huge sweet cherry on top of our Ribchester experience. Wonderful fresh healthy food (those cakes!), and great coffee.

A good cafe with a lovely garden and inside. We bought some cakes and smoothies we were quite disappointed with the smoothies as they were very expensive and could of made them cheaper at home but overall a good cafe with good food.

Beautiful weather in Ribchester, a lovely stroll by the riverside and then a perfect lunch in The Potters Barn. We sat and relaxed with a perfect coffee in the lovely shaded garden area at the rear. Then enjoyed a great lunch. All lovely fresh produce used here. Vegetarian Vegas gluten free all on offer. It was packed and why wouldn’t it be. If you have a sweet tooth try their homemade cakes. Excellent.

Out for a walk and fancied a snack/ drink. With our dog so needed a place which would have them- the garden area is super. Staff friendly and helpful- chatty with the dog and ourselves. Only had a crumpet and a pot of tea this time.

We came here for a late lunch with friends following a walk in the Forest of Bowland. On our table we enjoyed soup, (there was a range of three delicious choices), and sandwiches and three of us had lovely cakes, (it was hard to choose as there were so many to choose from). I had salted caramel gingerbread, yum yum!!! If we had wanted there was also a larger array of cooked meals at great prices, and other light lunches, plus comprehensive cooked breakfasts for vegetarians and meat eaters. Service was prompt and very helpful, even on a busy lunchtime. This cafe is definitely getting things right. Would recommend!!!

Called in for an ice cream yesterday afternoon. Staff were very friendly and the ice cream was delicious.

Spent some time in this cafe while waiting for car to be repaired. Lovely open fire, very friendly welcoming staff. The best cooked breakfast I have had in a very long time. Offers paint a pot service and a nice little gift shop. Toilets up stairs.

Warm and welcoming , with lovely open fire. Good service, would do anything to please. Tables close together bit cosy. Varied menu, food came quickly. I would have preferred it a bit hotter but it was very tasty. Lovely cakes too. Facilities upstairs along with a bespoke craft shop. The adjacent car park us pay and display plenty of spaces. Highly recommend will definitely call again.

What a Gem of a find! I cant really describe this lovely place in words, a traditional barn which feels home-from-home. Child friendly, dog friendly and people friendly too, informal, relaxed, open fireplace, arts and crafts, even paint pottery at your table, un-uniform, different, *real* home made food, real portions, real imagination, really veg and vegan friendly with real choices. Lovely gardens, stunning location, beautiful views, lovely *genuine* friendly people, honest prices, honest food made with love and imagination and flair - honest portions, quick service, this place and the lovely people who run it really do care. Can't recommend coming here enough - you definitely will be back again and again ♥♥♥ Thank you !

This cafe has it all, the best staff, quirky decorations, comfy seating, warmth and the most delicious menu for vegans and celiacs. The gluten free options are deliciously tasty, except for the gluten free scones, they are spectacularly deliciously tasty. Everyone is welcome and it's such a family atmosphere it's difficult to get up and leave, especially with the roaring fire on a cold day. Charlie, the owner, puts on really good night events too, stories and songs will have you laughing and singing along. Don't miss this gem of a place if you're within 150 miles!!!!

This is very welcoming. Children are very welcome and they can paint pottery bought at Potters Barn, paint it and have it kiln fired for collection later. Adults can also paint their chosen pottery. The food also is home made and the premises are quaint but perfect.

Being quirky isn't a bad thing obviously! There aren't many places open on a Sunday morning in Ribchester but it...

Great food with a really interesting menu and good veggie options. Warm and friendly atmosphere and lots of quirky decorations and gifts to browse around.

Came last week to paint a Christmas Decoration by way of entertaining my 2yr old somewhere warm while his baby sister recovered from a chest infection. Bauble painted, hot choc for mummy, a Christmas present bought, baby sister warm = happy all round. Returned today to collect bauble and it was brilliant. Unfortunately sleep deprived mummy accidentally dropped the bauble!! Agh!! Sleep deprived mummy also dropped and smashed the sample tile (showin what colour the paints are) and finally, sleep deprived mummy made a water mark on the wooden chest (where the cakes are)! But!!! The staff couldn’t have made us more welcome or warm. The food was delicious and top marks for serving my toddler first and pronto with nice plastic cutlery and crockery too. My chilli and nachos were brilliant and your unflappability towards me and my little ones was merciful! I could not thank you enough (or say sorry for the breakages!) and am secretly happy (although you are probably less so!) that we have an excuse to return next wk to collect replacement bauble.

Enjoyed a beautifully home-made lunch at Potters Barn outside in their garden in the last of this years sun. The cakes available that day are available to look at as you walk in & they also have a little gift shop upstairs where the toilets & extra seating are. Good menu with lots to choose from, all home-made with lovely salad dressings to use & available to buy. Food was fantastic quality & well presented. As it was such a hot day we also took advantage of the little ice cream parlour around the side of the building on our way out. Will certainly return.

What a delightful little cafe! A second visit for us and what a lovely surprise we got when we saw the 'Dogs welcome' sign! We were immediately greeted by a waitress who straight away asked if our dog wanted a blanket to lie on! This was so lovely and the dog loved having something soft to curl up on! He's a dog who doesn't like to lie on the hard wooden floor so would normally just stand and whine but instead he settled and snoozed! The food was all absolutely delicious and presented beautifully! The hummus was so good, I didn't leave a morsel! The cakes and desserts looked so good we treated ourselves to one each too! The staff were all so lovely and friendly and made us feel so welcome! A place we'll definitely go back to! Thank you for such brilliant service! Highly recommended!

I call into here regular and Charlie the owner is so friendly, and welcoming there is a great choice of food and drinks.

Me and my mum went for afternoon tea today with my toddler and it's such a delightful place. We have been for lunch before and it was delicious so we thought we would come back to tea and cake. We weren't disappointed. My mum had the blackberry flapjack and I had the chocolate marble torte. It was amazing. My little boy had homemade biscuits (6 for £1) and after I visited the little shop upstairs and bought a handmade make up bag. We will definitely be back again for another full lunch. Love it!!

We met up with my parents and brother here on the way to a family holiday nearby. They had lunch and enjoyed generous portions of tasty food, whereas we just had hot drinks. The staff were really friendly, the atmosphere was relaxed and cosy, the crockery was rustic and charming, and the menu was interesting and varied. We would definitely like to return if we get the chance to visit the area again, and absolutely recommend to fellow travellers!

Was recommended but sadly did not live up to expectations. The 'special' pie seemed to be a shop bought affair warmed up. Tables are tight however moved to a larger one when it became available only to be told in no uncertain terms that it was reserved though the reserved sign was face down and not at all clear. Would be OK for coffee and ices but nothing more. Pleasant staff but overall did not feel welcome.

Even though we turned up just as Potters barn was closing, we were still served with a great big smile and my son went away very happy, eating his promised Sunday ice cream. Great staff and great ice cream. Thanks.

Situated in a quaint old building in the lovely village of Ribchester, Potters Barn is a really nice cafe.The menu is quite extensive and varied. It is also innovative and includes some lovely sounding food. We restricted ourselves to a pot of tea and a piece of sticky ginger cake. The tea was a good brew and came in a generously sized pot, and the sticky ginger cake was superb.Service was as charming as the building.

Delight place, with delightful owner and staff. Good coffee and food, also a facility to dip into craft work. Like the little touches of having quiz cards on the tables.

We are local and no strangers to this lovely cafe where Charlie makes everyone so welcome with her warm smile and great grub!The atmosphere was so relaxed, it was great to walk in to a barn bustling with musicians warming up while tasty food and drink were served..we were glad we had chosen to eat! We opted for the ploughmans platter and pie & peas - delicious.The eclectic mix of acoustic guitar and poetry made for a magic evening.Can't wait for the next one!

My brother and I took our aged aunt to Potters Barn in June and I enjoyed it so much I took friends this week! We sat in the charming garden and I bet the cafe is also cozy on a cold winter day! The staff were friendly and prompt, the food was fresh and delicious...and... there were vegan options including a choice of 5 different cakes which is such a treat!! We also loved the small gift/craft shop upstairs! Thank you!

Called in for some Lunch one Saturday Lunchtime. The place is lovely and the menu is good and varied. The Raspberry Milkshake was delicious and made from real Raspberries. The Welsh Rarebit on Toast with Salad was good, but I could I have done with a bit more! A little mean with their portions I thought! I think you would have to order at least 2 courses to feel full!But it is in a nice setting with a secluded Garden, which would be nice on a sunny day.
