I had my wedding at Rivington hall barn and it was absolutely amazing! Before I booked Rivington I had looked at over a dozen of wedding venues and Rivington was by far the most stunning and elegant venue I had seen, I fell in love instantly. Everything about Rivington is amazing! The venue, the food & most important the staff!! The staff at Rivington are so polite, friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We had a few dietary requirements with our meals and they catered for everyone whatever their needs were. They were always quick to reply with any queries and always made me feel reassured through the whole process leading up to the wedding and even on the wedding day which made the whole process less stressful and far more enjoyable. They went above and beyond for me, my husband and all our guest on our wedding day, they was so we’ll organised and provided the best services and we couldn’t have been more grateful for them and everything they did for us. All our guest were amazed with everything about it and also commented on how stunning the venue was, how amazing the food was and how amazing the staff was. We literally had the most magical day and memories we will cherish forever and a big part of that is because of Rivington and everyone that works there. I honestly couldn’t recommend Rivington enough, everything about it is amazing and you definitely won’t be disappointed if you booked them for your wedding venue.

Attended The Christmas Party Event on Wednesday 29th November with The Local Ladies Guild. Fabulous decor, great entertainment and party atmosphere. The staff were so friendly and efficient and the 3 course meal ran smoothly with the added bonus of hot plates!! Unfortunately one of our party was suddenly taken ill. The staff were amazing, totally unfazed, even phoned her daughter to come and collect her and supported her until her daughter arrived. We can't praise them enough! 10 * service.

Despite the venue being very busy, we quickly found a table and worked our way through menu options. My wife chose the soup and I went with the turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwich. Service was excellent and given lots of time to make our choices.

This is a very popular cafe/restaurant with good honest food. Very popular with dog walkers due to its location. There is inside and outside seating and it’s located in beautiful woodland. This cafe is dog friendly. Unfortunately although I am ok with dogs I don’t like them messing around my heels whilst eating looking at me waiting for scraps and constantly wondering if one is going to do it’s mess on the floor just as I am tucking into my full English breakfast. There is no separation for people without dogs to eat so if like me you don’t like being surrounded by dogs whilst eating you may be better to give it a miss.

We have been here many times and have always left completely satisfied. The food is very good, the staff are always pleasant and quick, all in a fantastic Saxon barn, or if you want outside seating is available. Rivington and the barns are a jewel in the north of England. As such it can get busy at the weekend. The dog also gets very excited when we visit as they serve a special sausage for them! The full English breakfast is very good, high quality.

A group of us met here at the start of a pub crawl and had a great time. On this occasion, we didn’t actually go in the building as it was table service and we had our drinks brought to us. This suited us perfectly as it was a beautiful day, and this has a lovely outside seating area. The staff were cheerful and helpful and the service quick and efficient. They were serving lunch which look very good indeed and maybe next time we would eat there. It does get very busy though and parking was particularly busy on this Saturday lunchtime. Maybe better if possible to attend at a quieter time?

Good food, excellent portions, very pleasant staff and service, in a historic barn in a beautiful location. Such a shame about the loos, which are in a separate building, so if the weather is inclement it’s not pleasant, and neither are the loos, cold and very utilitarian. I have a disabled loo radar key which did NOT unlock the disabled loo and the hand washers weren’t working, so there were a couple of hand sanitizer bottles on a windowsill, admittedly there was a note apologising for the failure. As someone who likes to wash my hands and freshen up before eating these facilities were very poor, such a shame when everything else was so lovely.

Went on a day out and came across this amazing café. The atmosphere was buzzing and we didn’t have to wait long for a table. Service was super quick and so friendly. We had French toast with bacon and maple syrup and a beef panini. The food was absolutely delicious. Even though this was our first visit, we were treated like old friends. We’ll be back when we are next in the area and are looking forward to it. A place well thought out with beautiful interiors and amazing staff and food.

Fantastic food, disco, everything is fantastic. We have visited here for many years on our Christmas do's, and it is the best by far of all the many Christmas do's i have been on. Usually 5 star everything. The reason it is not 5 star this year is because there were quite a few young people drinking with glasses on the dance floor. There are young men looking to make sure all okay, but they are needed on all 4 corners of the dance floor - a definite accident with drunk people waiting to happen.

I've been to a few Christmas party nights at the barn and it has always been the place we book. Sadly I think we may look elsewhere next year. Tickets are quite pricey but used to be justified by the elaborate buffet and entertainment. This year's buffet was a let down. Raw pastry on the quiche which looked like school canteen quiche, hard small roast potatoes and tough focaccia bread. Overall it didn't look or taste as good as previous years. I was expecting decadent. The deserts were complete opposite. You could tell a lot of work had gone into them and they were delicious. The staff serving were lovely as always. Overall I enjoyed the entertainment but sadly we heard the DJs voice far too often, let us enjoy the music! A few us agreed we will look at other options for next year which is a first as we normally rebook straight after attending.

Love this place, enjoyed a visit today, was busy but pleasantly so. We had a pulled pork bap which was so good! And a slice of cake to help us on our way! I love the dogs that potter about and it was lovely to see a couple of horses drop by. The only downside was the group of bikers with their engines running and loudly slagging off anyone that walked past that they took a dislike to.

The name definitely suits this terrible location as the food tasted like it came straight out of a cows backside. The portion was barely enough to feed Warwick Davis, let alone a person of normal stature. It may have filled me up a little more if it wasn't for all the flies and bugs that stole half of the food from my plate. It didn't help that I just could not stop myself from heaving due to the terrible stench coming from the bikers surrounding us, and the amount of crumbs stuck to each one of their beards made it even worse, especially the ones on the womans..it was not very plesant. The food from the hotdog van outside is much better than the food inside.

Lovely renovated barn type venue with a lot of character.I had a turkey, stuffing & gravy cob which was fully loaded and delicious. I followed this with a cup of coffee & a stunning slice of homemade coffee and walnut cake.Overall it was a brilliant place to stop off after our walk up and around Rivington, I will definitely be back and I think next time I will be sampling a few afternoon beers in there too, loved it!!

We went for a family “let’s get out whist it not raining” trip. With the bad weather we’ve been cooped up. I had forgotten how nice the area was and how quaint the barn was. It’s a bit like dinning in a giant hall rather than a cozy restaurant. The food was really nice and was also served hot, the drinks are reasonably priced and the service was excellent. The toilets were very good and clean. Plenty of parking spaces available so all round good for a family day out. It is slightly expensive but I prefer to pay the extra for good food served hot to your table than going up for a warm carvary. I look forward to visiting again

Good atmosphere (more down to the drink and entertainment) but the buffet food wasn't up to much and the veg offering poor - they'd either run out of anything with colour or bought a lot of potatoes that they had to shift. That said, we had friends who'd booked in somewhere else that they then closed taking their deposit, so glad that we were here and not potentially there!

What a shock only ever been here in the day but the barn was transformed into a winter wonderland.Fabulous Sax player, good band and the food was amazing. The foam wasn't a great idea, beware they give shower caps but not enough for all and fake snow is sprayed over the dance floor some expansive hairdo's ruined. I had a great time plenty of bars so no queing. Would recommend for future visits.

We eat here most Sundays after a long walk around the beautiful hills of Rivington Pike, the Sunday roasts are to die for the beef is so tender with not an ounce of grisly or fat anywhere. The Turkey is also very tasty, the portion sizes are more than adequate and you normally get extra gravy which is great to mop up with my chips (They are more than happy to swap the mash for chips and roasties) The staff are all very friendly a real credit to the ,management team.

Rivington Hall Barn is such a beautiful wedding venue. My son and daughter in law(!) had a fantastic wedding, we are still on Cloud 9. It was an amazing day. Particular thanks to Gilly, Rachael and Matthew as well as catering, bar and “behind the scene” staff – everyone was great and worked so hard to make sure that we had a good time. All our guests commented on how well presented and tasty the Wedding Breakfast and Evening Buffet was. Everything was above and beyond our expectations and we had a wonderful and memorable day.

We decided to have our wedding at Rivington Hall Barn and it was just perfect. From our first enquiries, through to planning, to the big day and to the collection of our wedding stuff the following day, the staff at Rivington were attentive, informative, friendly and gave the best customer service I have ever received. All of our guests commented on how wonderful the staff were. They helped me prepare to walk down the aisle and were just so lovely. A special mention to Ben, Anna & Rachael who were so helpful with our planning. And to Matthew, Matthew & Will who were on hand all day with anything we needed. The nicest bunch of people, and we had total faith in them all. It meant that we could relax throughout the day knowing that everything was in hand. We can not thank them all enough. The food was delicious & the barn was just magical. Perfect wedding venue, perfect staff. We want to do it all over again

We attended a wedding here and had a great day. The room looked stunning for the ceremony and when it was turned around for the wedding breakfast. The weather stayed dry for the drinks reception which meant that the glass atrium was opened up, creating an outside feel. It was a lovely part of the day and the canapés served were delicious - particularly the miniature 'fish and chip'. Service throughout the day was faultless. The Bride and Groom had chosen an informal BBQ for their wedding breakfast. It was nice that you could choose what you wanted but the addition of some signage would have made it a smoother experience. Having to ask at each station meant holding the queue up and not asking resulted in ending up with a lamb burger I wouldn't have knowingly chosen. The BBQ food was average - the canapés had been much nicer. The barn did get hot in the evening (although it was August, it has rained on and off throughout the morning and wasn't a particularly hot day) which meant that lots of people ended up outside trying to cool off. The toilets were clean and spacious. A wonderful wedding venue. I feel that the only real downfall is seeing members of the public in casual clothing walking by, often stopping and gawking at members of the wedding party and guests.

Sunday afternoon after the recent snowfall, we thought it would be quieter than normal. Wrong, the roads up and around Rivington (very popular walking area) were choked with traffic and walkers. Just managed to park at the Barn, which is a magnet to motorcyclists at weekend, fortunately the weather must have put a number off. Our party of Eight people including 2 visiting Canadians (Heat wave for them!) pre booked a table, a few drinks from beer to coffee, meals ordered at the bar, 5 Traditional Roast Beef dinners, 2 Steak & Ale Pies and 1 Fish, Chips & Mushy Peas. This was served within 10 minutes and all thoroughly enjoyed the food, the barn is sensational reasonably warm for such an open building, the area inside is split on one side the tables are set as a snack bar and the other for meals (separate booking areas) Loads of walkers and their relevant apparel are obviously welcome and well catered for. Three of us managed desserts - 1 Sticky Toffee Pudding, 1 Fruit Crumble and 1 Eton Mess. Nothing was left. All this with additional drinks came to just over £100.00. Great value for a great afternoon. Our Canadian friends were extremely impressed with the whole experience. Incidentally I as a teenager attended Bolton Arts Ball at the same venue sadly 50 years ago!

Well you can stop for lunch and have some warm food and a hot drink (the hotpot is worth a try), or you can just stop for a cake or scone (the scones are certainly worth a try). Keep in mind, events excluded, this place is a cafe rather than a restaurant; that means order at the counter and take your tray with you or if your food isn't ready, it will be brought out to you. It is not a full on restaurant with table service and an extensive menu. That said, there is still decent choice and its all good quality. The place gets busy and parking can be difficult on such busy days, but that is a testament of the popularity of the place. In summer its a regular meeting point for those out on their bikes, if you like a look round some motorbikes then its worth a visit. In summer the BBQ is also open which does cracking burgers.

What a great afternoon at a lovely venue. 16 local pensioners arranged an afternoon of food an entertainment at Rivington Hall Barn. Understandably due to the total amount of diners we had to pre book our meals with a choice of Roast Beef and all the roast trimmings or Lemon and Thyme chicken with a leaf salad. Followed by Eton Mess or apple pie and custard. There must have been about 300 covers but all were served quickly, professionally and politely by a team of waiters and waitresses. The meals were scrumptious and hot considering the number of diners there. After the meal we were treated to a cabaret which involved a singalong. Everyone had a great time and we will be going back again. Very smooth operation, we don't know how you do it, but keep it up.

Went for a light lunch, Very good, if a little on the expensive side. Service with a smile, efficient, friendly and fairly quick. The food is good, the Tuna Melt Panini to die for. The Barn is a beautiful old building, light and spacious. The car park is not over generous but there's plenty of parking across the road. It is popular with the Sunday bikers, but they are a friendly and polite mob, happy to discuss their pride and joy all day. The woodlands are great for walking and the lakes a delight. Recommended day trip, if only for that panini.

Wonderful staff, delicious food and wine and a special mention to Adam who made it so special for the Bride and Groom and everyone who attended. Cannot praise it enough. A day not to be forgotten.

I recently attended the wedding of a friend at Rivington Barn. The room was decorated beautifully and the food was very good all day. The staff were curteous and helpful and the bar selection is good, especially the Gin range. I would highly recommend this venue for any function.

Parking nearby, we decided to call in after our walk. The cafe is almost like a self-service cafe which i found to be a little disappointing but the selection of food and drinks available was quite extensive. We ordered and paid for our food and then went to sit on the benches outside. Unfortunately, the was quite a bit of food debris between the bench slats which was quite off-putting.

My wife and I along with our young son visited here today and just really wanted some lunch.....ie sandwiches and a side of chips etc.....now, our son is at that very fussy age whereby he eats the same food everywhere he goes and so he said he wanted a ‘ham sandwich’.....’easy’ i hear you cry!!! ‘Wrong’ I reply!!.......yes they had a simple ham sandwich but the ham must have been a super deluxe version of ham and the bread must have been made with home stone milled flour from sunny Dorset.....because for two slices of white bread and what looked like once slice of ham was the astronomical cost of £3.95 and no garnish included......the other sandwiches where £3.95 plus....even though they also appeared to lack inspiration.......it’s a shame because for years this place had missed a trick and now they finally look the part they suddenly think they are gourmet food providers with the gourmet costs

To get away from my neighbours watching loud football, we got our motorcycles put and went for a ride to the Barn (as it's known by us regular patrons ) only to find a MASSIVE BLOODY SCREEN AND FOOTBALL! !! Talk about peed off. Parking was more than atrocious with car drivers dumping cars wherever they wanted with no care at all ,much less any crap they dug out when leaving all over the road , just great if you're on two wheels. Not a care if anyone was walking around them with prams. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. All those glass pint glasses being knocked over in the path of bikes , push bikes and digs is an absolute disgrace. I will NEVER EVERY go there again. They do not care that we bikers pay their way through the year, and not one cr*p is given for us. Goodbye. Good luck training your waiter muppet in the butty van. You don't deserve our custom. I won't be back. Annoyed patron for 30 plus years.

We were lucky enough to get married at this stunning venue in April 2017. The venue itself is beautiful without any additional dressing, however the staff go above and beyond to ensure every aspect of all your ideas for your day are put into place. We wanted an informal, bright, fun wedding so opted for a BBQ instead of a traditional sit down meal and the food was amazing, nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff and even now wen we go back to visit they always make us feel special. We had quite a large wedding and the barn is perfect for keeping all your guests in one place for one great big party. I would definitely recommend this venue for a wedding, special event or a party.

What a beautiful, beautiful place. Stunning location, with excellent facilities and a sensitive mix of modern accessibility coupled with a beautiful old building. My friend held his wedding reception here, wherein we were treated to a gin bar in the courtyard, Pimms on arrival, canapés, a superb three course meal (oh my word, the sticky toffee pudding was on another level!), good coffee, decent table wine and a very well-stocked bar. There was a good complement of staff on hand, service was rapid, and security on the door later on. I would recommend this place without hesitation.

I brought my mum here for tea and cake and while the cakes were good and the staff friendly and helpful, there’s just something very average about it all.

It was so good to be back in Lancashire and and experience good homely cooking, excellent value for money, and absolutely cracking service. How you are treated when eating out makes all the difference, this was in the top barn at a music event, and the staff couldn’t have been more cheerful and helpful. They do these events twice a month and I’d recommend them to anyone. Lovely afternoon.

First time visiting this wonderful place. The scenery is stunning. You can walk for miles, take the kids and the dogs Bike with the family or chill in the cafe. The menu had pleanty of choice and they cater for people with food allergies. Service was fantastic. I couldn't eat all my steak sandwich and asked for a takeaway box which was no bother to the lady who served us. Ice cream was lovely as well.

We had our wedding at Rivington Barn last month. The room looked stunning, the meals were delicious and the organisation of the day by the staff was also perfect. Cannot recommend this venue highly enough if you’re looking for a wedding venue.

Along with my son in law I did a wedding shoot at the Barns this weekend. The building is amazing with excellent facilities. The staff were very friendly and professional and the whole day went smoothly.As photographers it was a long day and the manager provided us with the same meal as the guests which was much appreciated. If you are looking for a venue for your big day have a look at their website.

Visited lower barn for refreshments after walking upto the Pike (Monday 8th Jan 2018), early afternoon was busy, but still plenty of food choices. Order steak sandwich with mustard and fried onions followed by their ginger flapjack and a cappuccino. Steak sandwich freshly made and served with side salad, steak was little tough may have been my fault for asking for it tobe well done. Cake and coffee tasted great as always. Popular place, food not cheap, but we'll presented and fresh.

I found this cafe while waiting to collect a car I bought from a dealership, so I was sitting in the cafe from 7am to 9:15am. The hot chocolate was gorgeous! I was going to order an omelette around 8am, but the place started getting a bit busy, so I held off. At 8:20am, I ordered a 4-egg omelette with cheese and left around £12 in change as a tip to thank them for letting me stay while waiting for the dealership to open at 9am. I was grateful to have found this cafe, as I also got some work done on my laptop. People were coming and going, and the staff even sat down for a chat, and I started wondering if they’d forgotten about me. At 8:55am, I asked if my order had been forgotten, and the girl apologized and realized she had indeed forgotten. The dealership was only a 5-minute walk away, but I was almost ready to leave without the food and the fact i paid £20 for a hot chocolate 😂. I eventually received the omelette, and they even returned the tip I’d left. The omelette was really nice, and the hot chocolate was devine. I can’t fault the food, even though I was forgotten and i am sure it was only a 2 egg ommlette instead of 4. I just needed to leave as i was late for collecting the car. Hence, I can’t give 5 stars for the service.

Only thing I would like to see is better opening times as I’d like to take the kids straight from school at 4pm and it’s always closed! Otherwise, this place does amazing food and it’s great to be able to take the kids for a nice healthy meal. Why do some restaurants think that kids want nuggets and burgers? My kids love this place and it suits them both as one eats meat and the other is a vegetarian.
