The Spread Eagle Mellor in Ribble Valley

We visited on a Sunday for breakfast we chose the farmers. Wrong choice it was poor Not what we expected. Scrambled egg mixed with a couple of spinach leaves and potatoes with hardly any tiny bits of meat. Could not taste any cheese and very bland. Some of the potatoes were only just aired. Beens were cheap. Service was good

A terrible birthday treat. Sent my main meal back twice and when paying for the food and drinks we'd had waiter was argumentative.

Great food and service by Olivia and Georgie but portion size of the Sunday roast was lacking especially on the vegetables

The food is always great, very good priced and friendly staff. Our waiter Damon, we've seen a few times. Can't do enough for you and is a credit to the team. Excellent experience everyone!

Excellent morning - "Chats and Brews / Growing Connections" event - two ladies who enjoyed a hot drink and bacon sandwiches - all complimentary as part of a community endeavour. SUCH a good idea - and a good number of other people thought so too. Our server Daz was pleasant and helpful and made us feel welcome. An excellent surprise way to spend a Friday morning in October. It would be lovely to attend such an event again. Helen.

Excellent service, excellent food and beautiful setting! Special thanks to Damon and Ashleigh! Would definitely return if I was in the area!

Another late lunch/early evening meal here. Everything is a good as ever. Two courses for £17 is a brilliant weekday deal. Potion sizes just right. Chocolate fondant dessert is fabulous. Staff very personable and lovely ambience. Will defineately return.

Had a lovely meal tonight 13/8/24 Had the supper club meal it was very good with a price we could afford to teat ourselves which doesn’t happen a lot these days. Excellent service from Georgie & Ash. Had the burger with fries & onion rings (lovely not fatty or greasy just very tasty with a lovely sauce & chocolate fondant to finish) Thank you again for a lovely evening. Mary

Went for an impromptu lunch with my hubby today at the spread eagle in Mellor, Lancashire Delicious food, plus a great variety of vegetarian food. Very nicely presented, tasty and our hosts today Damon and Ash were really good too Compliments to the chef !

The staff were brilliant checking on us and they even accommodated the menu to us the cheese cake was no longer on the menu but the staff member Leam went out of his way of his way tu get me a cheesecake. He was lovey also Ashleigh and Damon served us they were brilliant always checking in on us. All three of them were superstars! The food is also excellent!!!

I would definitely request the spread eagle. To couples birthdays and much more. I hope couples experience enjoy everyone. Nice staff I hope people have similar experiences.

Steph and Leam were very accomodating and welcoming to us and we truly enjoyed our dining experience. The place is clean and ambient sureounded by spectacular views. Toilets were maintained to a top spec and smelt fresh and fragrant. Very warm lovely place to hang out, that’s why we keep coming back.

We went for Sunday lunch. The restaurant is well appointed with stunning views. Service was fast and very friendly. The roast beef dinner was quite expensive for what it was. Beef was fine but roasties were hard and looked as if they’d been deep fried. Broccoli was mushy. Good coffee.

The food was excellent. It was well cooked and everything was hot. The service was first class and Darren who served us was very busy but took time out to have a chat. The Spread Eagle of recent times as had alot of criticism sometimes rightly so. But they have a new chef and it seems to have improved considerably. I could certainly recommend the Spread Eagle now. Stuart Eggleston of Mellor

We used to go regularly 3+ times a month, great welcome, superb well cooked regularly changed menus, favourites retained. Leam, Damon & Darren do well, that right balance between friendly, welcoming & doing the job. Rachel's been gone as manager quite a few months now. Not sure if replaced? I know it's only a chain pub now. Weds teatime:- we booked (you always had to) but only 4 others in? There from 5:30 - 7pm abt 10-12 in in total. George & her colleague did quite well with us! Theres just some pizazz missing? We shared a starter & pudding! OK. Wife's main, sea bass etc got a score of 6/10. My pie OK. £54 with tip! The staff we saw were nice! The event & interaction was not animated! I did my best to add to the "theatre" of social dining! We left not feeling treated to a positive experience! More wumfful leadership needed!

Been here twice, once for afternoon snacks/drinks and once for dinner after work. The location is stunning, atmosphere is relaxed yet classy. The roaring fire is beautiful. Service and staff are excellent, really attentive and happy to please. Food is really good, decent portion sizes and fresh. Great place to eat, drink and relax

First visit to the Spread, and won’t be the least! Such a lovely venue with extremely friendly staff…would like to say a big thanks to Millie and Liam for going above and beyond for our visit this afternoon. The cauliflower cheese is one of the best I have had for a while, and the cheesecake, WOW - sticky toffee pudding cheesecake was a TREAT. Will be back again very soon I am sure !

Fab sunday lunch this afternoon, we arrived a little early but our table was ready where Millie took us over and took our drinks order. We sat in the extended part of the restaurant in the corner and had a lovely view! I had the Sunday beef dinner with a side of cauliflower cheese which was delicious and hot. I was stuck on what to get for dessert as some really good options but the Sticky toffee cheesecake was recommended and WOW, it was amazing! The staff are excellent and make you feel very welcome! Thank you Leam & team. I can’t wait to come back in the summer and have cocktails on the terrace☺️

Great spot! Staffs are nice and super friendly plus super accomodating! Food was brilliant! The pub has also excellent view!

Lovely grub and atmosphere as always. Millie and Georgie were great - thank you for a lovely evening. We will be back soon

This was my first ever visit to The Spread Eagle, based on the recommendation of my wife who had previously visited with a group of friends also for lunch. We had booked for 1230hrs on a Sunday but arrived early at 1200hrs as we had set off early in the aftermath of heavy rainfall. This presented no problem as the young man at the reception desk ("Daz") was more than happy to accommodate us and escorted us to a table. The Spread Eagle is located in a moorland location and their are wonderful views of the landscape from throughout the restaurant. One of the first things I noticed was the tasteful decoration and the distinct cleanliness of all areas. Staff were very courteous and amenable without being overbearing. My wife chose a large sauvignon blanc (it would be rude not to !!), whilst I as the nominated driver chose a large diet coke.. I chose Korean BBQ chicken as a starter, which arrived promptly and was both very tasty and beautifully presented. My wife who did not order a starter on this occasion decided it looked so good that she decided to have some. For our main course I ordered the Trio Roast Lunch, whilst my wife ordered Sirloin Steak. My wife is somewhat of a steak fan and stated it was a generous piece cooked to perfection, to the extent that she requested her compliments be passed to the Chef. All the food served was again beautifully presented and of good quality. For dessert my wife chose Bakewell Tart with a raspberry coulis and ice cream - a real treat, whilst I chose a cappuccino. All in all it was a very enjoyable visit to the Spread Eagle and I would visit again without hesitation. A commendable effort by all of the team in these most difficult times for the hospitality industry. As we left we noticed that the restaurant we noticed that was becoming busier so I would recommend making a reservation so you are not disappointed. Plenty of convenient parking.

Had fish goujons - lovely. Great staff who were very welcoming. Lovely open fire - just right for a snowy afternoon. Not the cheapest but it is a quality pub, The toilets are amazing - so clean and well-maintained. Best of all, the beautiful view of the Ribble Valley from the car park. On a snowy day, beautiful,

Very disappointing for a birthday meal for 9. Starters all mediocre with some overcooked and some cold even though we waited over 30 mins bearing in mind we had pre-ordered as asked as we were a large table. Young ones pizza looked straight out of a Chicago pan pizza packet. 8 adult mains and 6 were roast dinners all of which were cold. 1 other main overcooked. Cauliflower cheese side swimming in water. However lovely staff and manager fully took in board our concerns. Shame but wouldn't rush back.

The food at Spread eagle is not what is used to be. Came tonight with the family and I got Sunday roast beef. It was probably one of the worst roast dinners I have ever had. The beef was like rubber, the Yorkshire pudding was extremely dry and the parsnips were hard, and the veg was microwave veg. The food here is definitely microwave food. We were sat where I could see into the kitchen every time the staff went in and out . I could see the chef scooping mash onto a plate from a plastic microwave container and I kept seeing him emptying the veg from the microwave pots. Therefore, I now know for a fact that it’s definitely microwaveable food. Really disappointing especially considering the prices charged. My partner ordered pie and chips and that was ok. The Bakewell tart fruit was frozen in the middle with other parts hot, again microwaved! The staff here though were wonderful. However, we won’t be returning because the food was terrible and microwaved.

Our first visit to the Spread Eagle, Mellor and we will certainly be back. Excellent Sunday lunch with extra gravy provided. Attentive staff, polite and professional. We were served by Damon on the day.

Always a very warm welcome all the staff are very friendly our favourite being Darren! Great sense of humour! This is a regular for us now never disappointed.

Just had a delicious lunch at the spread Eagle, food was great and staff very good, the views from the restaurant are wonderful and added to a great visit

Shame. Used to be one of our faves in these parts. Just bog standard pub grub now. I went with my family, five of us,and all said the food was just average. Used to be a cut above,but not any more. Very good service though....

Another fantastic evening meal. Last minute decision to go out. Looked after by both Georgie and Harry, great friendly service as always.

We had a wonderful night - food and staff were great. Steph went out of her way to make our night. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful location, lovely decor. Super attentive staff all across the site but special shout out to Damon who made the visit super memorable. Friendly, attentive and warm! Thanks!

Amazing Vegetarian Mushroom Wellington - with a lovely Yorkshire pudding on the side. Manager Steph was fantastic, welcomed our roudy table of 11. All food was wonderful with Kenny & Nat as chefs. Would recommend, thank you!

Had a lovely time at The Spread Eagle. First time visiting and what a gorgeous place for a quiet meal! Special thanks to Millie for being really attentive- excellent service:)

We came in a big group and the restaurant were very accommodating and Steph was amazing. The bangers and mash were great, I would get the slow cooker beef next time

Steph was absolutely delightful - we were a big group and changed numbers a couple of times but she was so understanding. The food was delicious. Would definitely recommend

I had not thought it was possible to have an experience remotely comparable in significance to my previous one. I was sorely mistaken. What can be said about my latest excursion to this great British cultural touchstone that cannot be said about the book of...

The location is wonderful with beautiful views. Very cosy inside with log fire burning. Good service, average food.

We always come here when we are near here and This restaurant has absolutely delicious food! We were served and taken really good care of by Millie on January 16 2024 wow what service the best we ever had at this restaurant, she is a...

Whilst the menu was extensive and surroundings great, the food does not live up to the Spread Eagle of old. For us the food (lasagne) was tasteless and the fish and chips acceptable. Customer service was excellent but it is unlikely we would return.

Went at the weekend for Sunday roast ...its the worse Sunday roast I've ever had ...Yorkshire pudding shattered all over the place when it was cut ...potatoes well the palest roast potatoes I've ever seen ...couldn't cut the beef it was like leather..the food was...

Very family friendly. Been a few times and very accommodating for my coeliac dietary needs. Thank you to The whole team see you next time

Excellent food and service provided by our lovely waitress Millie, with stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

Amazing service from Damon & Steph, comforting environment. Food was out of this world, very good value for money. Would definitely revisit

The restaurant is still a place but the menu is limited. Some of the food was poor ie yorkshire puddings burnt and nothing but crisp, vegetables cold, maybe less is more!! Will not be returning and won't recommend.

Great service from Damon and team ...Food was good, we had a lovely night ...sticky toffee pudding ...

The service was faultless however the food was not nice i had a starter and main and both dishes were less than average, portion sizes were even worse and it isn't cheap. Very disappointed.

We went as a family including our dog, we were given a fantastic table and the food, service and value was absolutely excellent from start to finish. Steph and Leam looked after us and we cannot rate the whole experience highly enough, we will definitely...

Great food and friendly and polite service, all 12 of us were well looked after. Everyone commented on the food and were very complimentary. We will be returning soon for another meal.

Well over a year ago this venue was average at best. Quite an improvement since that visit. Firstly the minor negatives.. The creamy garlic mushrooms although nice was very small ( only 2 or 3 mushrooms chopped up. The wait for main meal was a...

Good food, bit posh, love steph, although the guy on my table would not remove his hat. Overall a lovely place.

Came here for food with a few friends. Really good food served by lovely waitress Steph would definitely recommend.

We visited the Spread Eagle for a quiet night with a couple drinks. We were served by a lovely waitress (Steph). She was very polite and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you

Never been to the restaurant before but will definitely be going back. Lovely friendly staff Steph and Leam they couldn’t do enough for us. Food amazing great place highly recommend

Staff were attentive but they were not the regular staff that we have been used to over the years whose customer service was excellent, it seemed that they were all trying to sell the drinks more than the food experience. It was very quiet, noticed...

The spot is fantastic and our servers daz and Damon were amazing. The place had Great service, brilliant food and drink

The staff are friendly and helpful, the food was well presented, a rainbow of colour and tasty a pleasant experience shared with friends.

Packet food yet it’s fresh food prices! They tried to make an effort to accommodate food intolerances but when even your special meals come in packets, there’s no chance to allow for slight changes like don’t add butter. I am wheat and dairy intolerant meaning...

Lovely meal in lovely surroundings. Attentive waitress Millie and waiter. Particularly enjoyed the mini pud and hot drink, cappuccino was a really nice coffee blend as well. Definitely recommend 👍

We had a very enjoyable meal from the festive menu. The food was excellent and we have got to praise the friendly and professional service provided by Damon and Daz, who couldn't have been more helpful.

Breakfast with Santa was amazing. The food was fantastic and to see our grandsons face when Santa appeared was wonderful and to have a gift from Santa was also very special. Thank you to all the staff

Great place for lunch in a scenic venue. A good menu, something for everyone and great service from the moment we arrived, until we left.

Excellent food as usual and attentive service from Harry, we went early evening which was a good choice as it wasn't busy, apparently they had been rushed off their feet at lunch time and expected the same rush in the evening.

Firstly, the presentation and decoration is so beautiful, you walk in and it’s so Christmassy! Everyone was so friendly and couldn’t wait to help, the service was one of the best and efficient I’ve seen, they really get to know you and understand what you...

Bit surprised to be given menu and then told quite a few items not on the menu particularly for midweek lunch. Lunch options were small portions but enjoyable food. Desserts were excellent choice specially mini pudding with drink. Not very busy at lunchtime. Car park...

Used to frequent this place every week before it became a managed house and unfortunately it’s not good all - the food ping and ding nothing fresh every item on my plate different temperatures. Manageress pleasant enough but that’s not what you are paying for!...
