Disappointed with meal-chips were strange-not crispy at all, dark brown and bland!-asked for different veg with pie other than peas and was charged £3.00 for the pleasure-even though I didn’t have peas! £1.50 for a small jug of gravy!-used to love your food but definitely gone worse!-plz go back to old menu !

We were expecting a lovely meal in classy surroundings (it was a number of years since we’d last visited). However we were disappointed. The food was definitely more quantity over quality. The risotto had an overwhelming taste of minted peas, not pleasant at all. The liver was leathery and the mash slapped on the plate. Whilst the staff were attentive they were regularly shouting to each other and to customers at the bar. Very off putting when you’re trying to eat. Sadly not a pleasant experience and certainly not one we’ll be repeating. Such a shame as it used to be such a good restaurant. Now nothing more than your average pub experience.

We are on holiday in the area and went here on Monday evening. There were four adults and a dog. We were welcomed and given a lovely table with plenty of space. The young lady who served us was delightful and so friendly. We enjoyed all our different starters and mains. There really is an excellent choice of food. We’re going back this evening!

I'm a frequent visitor to this country pub, I come with a young adult with learning difficulties usually on a Friday when the superb fish offer is on. The food and drinks are excellent but moreover the staff are exceptional, all of them welcome us with smiles and cheer, they remember the special requirements of my companion's diet and preferences on each occasion, this I really appreciate. Thank you to the team and keep up the amazing work 😃😃😃

We called for lunch at the Ribchester again, this time on a Friday when they do their Fish Friday deal. Its a great place to eat with a lovely relaxed atmosphere. It's perfect for lunch if you're going for a walk in the surrounding countryside and reasonably priced for the quality you'll receive. We'll certainly go back again soon.

Amazing value for money !!!

Visited about a month ago and was more than happy with the experience. Staff and service great and good food. Visited again today and it was the polar opposite. Crammed into a table by the bar. Had to move my seat away from the bar area in a as others could not pass. Service non existent. Young staff clearly not trained and no table service at all. Food was awful. Wife's chicken over cooked and dry. They seasoned the fries with too much salt. I had sausage and mash. Sausage clearly reheated and probably from day before, not sure what was buttery about the mash. Peas hard as a rock and onion gravy like dishwater. Both plates were left and it was clear the food was not enjoyed but noone ever asked how our meal was. Says it all really

Met up with friends for lunch. Friendly enough staff Rather noisy at first, but they turned the unessesary radio down. Typical pub menu, with the special Friday fish and chips deal. I opted for the salmon with Mediterranean Veg. Basic Salmon steak with rather over cooked veg.nothing to complain about. My friends had the fish and chips, which was excellent - good portions and very tasty. Recommended So, basic pub food in a basic pub Long may they last.

My grandparents had their wedding reception at Ribchester Arms 60 years ago so we came to celebrate their anniversary with a big family meal. We were given our own room which was great (there was 31 of us) they took a pre order so they already new what we all wanted. The food was lovely. I had the Tuscan salmon which was delicious and I pinched a few of my husbands chips which were amazing, I'd go back just for the chips! We all finished our meals then it did take quite a while for the staff to ask if we wanted any desserts (the pub was very busy to be fair) but they came out quite promptly after ordering. The only thing I would say is there are quite alot of younger members of staff that don't seem to know what they are doing and could do with some extra training. My husband bought a round of 3 drinks and was overcharged by £16 he only realised as he had paid by Google pay and it showed up on his phone how much it had come too. I ordered a coffee with dessert which didn't arrive with everyone else's and I had to ask 4 members off staff were it was before it eventually came out after everyone had finished eating. We ordered kids brownies and adults brownies for dessert and the young lady that brought out the first lot of brownie didn't know if it was adults or child's portion and ended up giving the kids the adults portions and the adults ended up with the kids desserts. However we will definitely return because the food was good.

Having dined at the establishment for a number of years it would appear that the place is under new management? and most definitely new chefs… We attended for an evening meal with our children, and to say we were all very disappointed with the food was an understatement. Very low quality grade of food, bland and unseasoned, and the chocolate brownie was almost inedible, rock hard and tasted like compacted flour….. not good!!! The staff were all very pleasant but were not very tentative to the tables, leaving big waits between courses. My children were fed up. As were we…

I stayed overnight at the Ribchester Arms recently and would not wish to return. Whilst the room was nice and big, with a nice bathroom and a lovely tea try there were big problems. Firstly the bed was one of the most uncomfortable I have ever stayed in - the mattress was old and hard. There was zero soundproofing between my room and next door and I could literally hear everything that was being said - I could not sleep through this and what with the bed I had a terrible night. There were no plugs for a hairdryer or straighteners near a mirror so I had to use my compact to see which was ridiculous. Breakfast is served from 8.30 am which is very late and I had to push for an earlier service which I was grateful to receive, but it's a bit ridiculous I had to ask. Dinner was poor as was the service. I was overlooked firstly to get a menu (I had to ask), the wait staff were taking orders for tables around me so I had to ask them to take my order. No refill of drinks offered. When I had finished they were offering tables around me dessert, but not me (perhaps they thought I didn't need it?!!) so again had to ask. I felt sidelined and overlooked and I thought this really poor. The food was not great eg. for dessert I had the chocolate fondant that was hard in the middle - the whole point of this is to have a runny middle. The chicken with panko crust was not panko, it was a thick breaded crust which was partly cooked so not overly appertising. I would not return nor suggest others visit.

Stayed here for an overnight stay for B&B paying £85 with my genius discount on booking.com. Located in Ribchester in the Ribble Valley we already know the local area well. The rooms are spacious and very clean and comfortable. There is a kettle, a mini fridge ( 2 bottles water, orange juice and milk) and a wide array of Taylors tea and coffee sachets. Sleigh bed was very comfortable and there was also towelling robes in the room. Toiletries supplied in the bathroom and the towels were fluffy and off a great quality. Water pressure in the shower was good. We ate our evening meal in the restaurant. The menu is varied and food tasty. Service was good. Breakfast consisted of cereals/ juice / tea or coffee and then an offer of a hot breakfast Ribchester full English or eggs Benedict. There was an option of fresh fruit and a pastry in your room. We felt it was great value and would return again

Been coming to this restaurant for years. Well I don't know what has changed in the kitchen but the people cooking are certainly can't classed as chefs. I went for a 3 course Christmas Dinner on the 15 December. It was absolutely disgusting. 1 slice of white meat and underneath was dark brown and certainly was not turkey. The vegetables were disgusting. The whole meal my Family could not eat and we left the whole dinner it was disgusting so was the soup which was cold. I demanded the manager I settled the bar bill and refused to pay for the meals it was that bad. Something I have never done in my life but what they turned out was disgusting. We will never to return. We have always supported this restaurant over the years but never again. Produce that standard of a meal and they will certainly be going out of business. 50 mile round trip what a complete waste.

When i complained (in a civil manner) i got no uderstanding from the server whatsoever so to sum it all up the meal was daylight robbery and i wont be dining there anymore

There were nine of us for my partners birthday, we’ve never been here before but had driven past a few times and thought it looked nice from the outside. Some people within my family didn’t have any problems with their food, but four out of nine did. One family member could only eat part of their dish because the other part wasn’t edible…unfortunately they didn’t say anything at the time. Three members - including myself - all had the chicken schnitzel. One member had to ask for it to be changed whilst my partner and I ate ours. However, all three of us encountered the same problems which were tough chicken you could hardly cut through, the chicken wasn’t flat as schnitzel should be, and it had a batter type coating rather than crispy breadcrumbs which made it soggy. This meal came with french fries and a supposed rocket salad with parmesan. It in fact looked like a few leaves with a bit of cheese on top. The drinks are extortionate with a Stella or Cider costing £5.60, and an Orange OJ ridiculously high at £3.30. Furthermore, they don’t have a drinks menu so you don’t see the price until the bill arrives. At the end of the meal we were given vouchers for 20% off the food in January and February, needless to say we won’t be using them!

Booked a table here for the first time in years and decide to go for the beef Sunday roast. It was beautiful - tender beef which melted in your mouth. There weren't many vegetables which was a shame, but we had ordered a side of cauliflower cheese which was extra. Also it would have been so much better with mash than boiled potatoes, but the roast potatoes were nice too. Overall a lovely meal and I would recommend

After a 10 mile walk we were ready to eat, so we decided to try the recommended to us Ribchester arms. Warmly greeted and quickly seated we had our drinks order taken immediately, when I asked what cask ales they sold, our server knew exactly what was on offer, great start.👍👍. We both ordered the soup, it arrived piping hot accompanied with warm fresh bread. For round two, I had the roast lamb and my wife the pork. The portions are huge which made my day, roasties are to die for and the Yorkshire puds are huge fluffy and crispy. Pudding was a dream. I’ll say no more, you need to try it yourself. What a wonderful experience.

Over priced out of date websight menu will probably not be back. Nothing else to say sadly used to love the roast dinners. How can you do a bread and butter pudding in a dish an inch deap. Xxxxccccccccccxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Food was not great I suppose ok for pub food, I realise it was very busy but service was slow, waited an hour for desert and left without ordering. Disappointed as it had been recommended. I would not come again

My partner and I really wanted to like this pub/restaurant, hence we visited it for a meal. It's a lovely looking, old school place. The first thing we've noticed is that it smelled bad inside, but we've still decided to stay, as we were hungry....

Lovely outdoors dining at front and rear of pub. Well spaced tables and very warm welcome. Advise to book. We had sandwiches which come with salad and chips. It's a substantial lunch. Toilets are a bit cramped so not great during the Pandemic.

We stopped here for some lunch after a walk along the tolkien trail. The staff were really lovely and the service was fab. And the sandwiches were very tasty too 😊 Maybe a bit on the pricey side but very enjoyable meal overall!

Walked in after a 4 hour drive today, didn't know the place, never seen it before and just wanted a drink before driving again. The woman at the bar was super unhelpful and scowled at me the whole way through me ordering our drinks, for £16.40 for two pints i would have expected at least friendly service. I get it I was not in suit but does that deserve to be scowled at and made to feel super unwelcome. We finished our drinks and got the hell out of there as quick as we could. Will never return and have already told my wealthier friends and family not to attend this place

A great place we stumbled on after the fireworks at the castle. The reedley hallows beer went down very very well. We had a nibbles selection amazing value at 4 small plates for £20. I had lamb rump for main and my wife had ahicken Kiev which she thoroughly enjoyed. No room for a pud, hopefully next time. Very attentive service, great food and reasonably priced. Will defo return very soon.

We had a pleasant lunch at The Btown Cow. The dining room was pleasant if a little dark, however its an old building so that's OK. Very pleasant young waiter. The menu is quite big and it's very varied, something for everyone. I had vegetarian Toad In The Hole, excellent , well presented and delicious. Husband chose the open beef sandwich, which unfortunately wasn't as good. The baguette was tough and the steak was "not the best". Our coffee at the end of the meal was really just froth!! However, it was clean and comfortable, a very pleasant young waiter and the loos were spotless.
