The Venue in Ribble Valley

Just been to The Avenue for Sunday lunch, had roast beef and all the trimmings and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was absolutely delicious and great staff.We'll definitely be.back.Thank you.

It’s a pleasant place for a drink for local people. It won four in a bed but have to say we didn’t see how. The staff were not warm and welcoming on reception. No concern for if we enjoyed our stay. More interested in the local community. The duvet was stained and given for my child with no duvet cover. No spoons for the tea tray. And the mini bar- well there wasn’t one! We booked the suite- my partner queried this and was told it was the tea tray! Lol. There were marks on the walls, dusty flowers in the bathroom and the little things were forgotten. The food was beautiful I have to say. Nice outdoor seating area. No information given about check out times or no service for breakfast. Asked about local area and was like pulling teeth! Not keen when we asked for a glass of ice for the room. We had already had a meal and drinks and didn’t have many facilities in the suite.

I rang and ordered our Pizzas and we were given a time slot. The Pizza arrived 15 mins after agreed time. (We only live half a mile away from the Avenue) The boxes felt nice and hot, as you would expect. Opened up the boxes and immediately you could see that these Pizza were not up to the normal standard, in fact, if I hadn’t waited so long for them I would have binned them. They looked like the had been on top of the oven for ages keeping warm. The mushrooms were all shrivelled up and the cheese had turned into a solid mess. And come on, only five bits of Pepperoni on a 12 inch “ Pepperoni” Pizza. After about 5 mins the crust was that hard I was in fear of loosing my fillings. I left comment on their Facebook page but have not had a response as yet (3 days) All I can say is, it was a good job it was 2 for 1. I hope when all the virus stuff is over, they return to their normal top quality and taste.

Came here with my house, just a few mins wal away. Would say it is more of a bar place then a restaurant but the atmosphere was amazing and could see myself coming here more often. Ordered a steak and would have to say one of the best I've ever had. Would definently recommend

Stayed 2 nights. Friendly, helpful staff. Room was spotless and perfect size. The breakfast was outstanding, cooked to order so was piping hot and plenty of it with unlimited hot drinks. Would highly recommend and would visit again.

Stayed for 2 nights and had a fantastic time, food really good and staff really helpful. Couldn't do enough for you. Suite was everything you could want and more and very quiet even with entertainment downstairs. Will be recommending this place to my friends a hidden gem well worth a visit.

Nice staff, very nice decor. We both had Pizza, and I have to say, it was the best Pizza I have had in a long time, very nice base and crust, with delicious toppings. We also had a rather nice bottle of Pinot. Will definitely be back.

We eat here regularly. You can rely on the quality and quantity at a reasonable price. The staff are welcoming and helpful

We came for a Sunday Roast and it was Top notch. Quality Food, great portions and great service. Highly recommend!

Sunday roast really good value for money, We went as a party of four, I had roast beef dinner it was really nice. A nice place as well

I enjoyed full board at the hotel. i tried different meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner at the hotel restaurant every day for 5 days. All meals were very tasty. I had full English breakfast or just a toast or cereal. The main menu included poultry, fish and steaks as well as vegetarian dishes.The restaurant staff was very friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend it.

Special pizza night when Italian chef on duty. Simply scrumptious! Friendly efficient and welcoming staff.

Went here with friends for the Wednesday steak night, two steaks for £15 and a bottle of wine for £9 the meal included a sauce of your choice, chips and salad you could add extras if you wanted them. What a good meal and excellent value for money . The steaks we had were rump and we all asked for med rare except one who asked for med. when they came they somehow got mixed up and the one that asked for med got the med rare lol she ate it anyway and said it was delicious... that is the only reason I’m not giving you the 5 stars well done for an great value for money mid week meal out

Had an amazing 3 courses at The Avenue ! Fish cakes FRESH not frozen really light and tasty ! Amazing beef burger and home made chunky chips light on the inside really crispy on the out ! To die for chocolate brownie with ice cream ! Waiting staff really attentive asking how food is and if you needed anything your treated like royalty here !

A very nice hotel which is in a very quiet place just outside Blackburn. next to the football training ground.

The hotel was able to cater for a vegetarian option for us and were very helpful and the staff were all happy and friendly.

Excellent meal, food here is very good. Enjoyable meal out. All staff are friendly and helpful. Certainly going back again for another lovely meal.

We had a one night stay in May and the food there was excellent. The service from all the staff was really good. We both had the steak which was to die for. Would eat here again.

Nos alojamos en el Hotel Avenue, las habitaciones bien y la mayoría de nuestras habitaciones estaban en la planta baja y en los viernes y sábados eran sometido a mucho ruido. El personal era bueno y el desayuno recién preparado y tiene es una opción razonable. Las comidas de la tarde falta la opción para que merezca la pena usar excepto como último recurso. El hotel está en un sitio seguro, pero la gente tomar taxis de la calle de al lado del hotel y, como tal, las habitaciones de la planta baja que dan a la calle debe ser evitado.

Tenía la porción sobresaliente, muy pequeña y muy grasos y salados, el menú principal no era de esa noche, era de unos cuatro cosas para elegir en las ofertas especiales, así no hay nada que elegir. ! No mucho alcohol en cuanto a opciones, iba a probar sus cócteles, pero dieron la señal era vieja dijeron y realmente no hacen, ya que ella no ofrecen para probar y hacer algunos, pero no tenía idea de por dónde empezar! !

We went there for a christening with family and friends. The food was lovely service from the staff,very helpful and polite.

Bar & resturant attached to a travel-lodge style hotel. Is either full - when there is a local wedding - or next to empty. Went on a quiet night and was very disappointed

Meal with family and friends after the win at Burnley. . Menu is gorgeous, fabulous quality food 😃😃😃😃😃

Great ,spacious ,spotlessly clean rooms friendly staff and good breakfast . What more could you ask if needing to stay at very reasonable rates.

Asistí a una función privada donde el gerente y el personal se miden el vino, pero no los licores, como consecuencia la medida eran pequeñas. Cuando me quejé me dijeron que si no me gusta, entonces me debería beber en otro lugar. He llevado a bordo de los comentarios y llevado mi negocio en otro lugar. En los últimos años me he gastado una cantidad considerable de dinero en bothe el restaurante y bar, así que es una pena que han tomado esta actitud, vuelva a la antigua gerente.

La comida es de buena calidad, el desayuno era impresionante, estaba muy bien de precio. El menú tenía una muy buena opción con algo para todos los gustos y appitites con personal atento y amable

Tuvimos una cena maravillosa. personal atento y amable y un precio muy razonable.No puedo esperar a volver muy recomendado

Pricy bar attached to a small travelodge style hotel.Never sure if it is open or not - as they seem to close for a private event at the drop of a hat.Staff smoking outside doesnt add to the venue, nor does the fact that the outside seating is in the car park.

We came to The Venue on Saturday night for a 21st birthday party. The DJ played really good music although I'm not sure if the birthday girl and her equally aged friends enjoyed the 80's music but I certainly did. They served "canapés" which were home made sausage roll, smoked salmon blinis, mini beef burgers and red onion with goat cheese tarts. Apart from the burgers these were all substantially sized and technically can't be canapés but I'm not complaining because they were all really tasty. Staff were great serving and even the drinks were reasonably priced. Bar staff did a great job, even challenging people who looked under 18. All in all somewhere I'd like to come back to eat a proper meal and somewhere that's definitely good for parties.

All the food was excellent, there were 22 of us in total and all the meals were great. The salmon in particular was beautifull. Great atmosphere, friendly, helpfull staff, we will be back soon.

i booked two colleagues in to the hotel, which as always was very tasteful and room quality was highly recommended by my colleagues.. Good start to the evening ..Food was lovely, fresh and delightfully cooked veg.. I ordered the chicken and mash.. Lovely and very enjoyable.. Wine selection was great, atmosphere was excellent.. Always nice to enjoy a pleasant evening.. Would recommend.

The burger was awesome with other restaurant guests looking on when it arrived - didn't manage it all I hasten to add....

Great place for an evening out as a couple or family, very pleasant staff and food was delicious. overall a 5* from me

6 of us had a meal here. The food was delicious, the menu was varied and they catered for the vegetarian who was with us. The cocktails I would recommend also. The only set back was that there was a singer on that evening, which we were not told about in advance until we got there, which would have been good for after dinner entertainment not whilst we ate our dinner along with others as it was too loud to really talk to each other. This is only a minor complaint though and I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant especially if you are staying in the hotel which we were.

We ate here last Thursday night and my goodness what a find, the waiter (Francesco) was absolutely excellent, the food is first class, Both my partner and I had duck spring rolls severed with lightly pickled veg for starter and then I had a beatifully cooked fillet of seabass for main, and mutual partner the roasted pork loin off the specials, we then shared the famous carmel sticky toffee pudding for dessert, very reasonable prices and good wines as well, it is only a small restaurant (about 35 seats, and is say it was just over half full, and to say thee was only one chef on ( I believe him to be called Andy) it was very very good, will definitely be back!!

We live on the village so we were really pleased when this place opened in the summer. We spent a lot of time drinking and eating here when it first opened. There were a few minor teething problems which is expected initially, but overall we came probably once a week and sampled food/wine/cocktails and it was always very enjoyable. Once the initial curiosity phase passed, I would say that the trade has definitely died off considerably. We walked down mid week to have a meal and a couple of glasses of wine. A little irritated to say the least to be drawn in to ordering a £10 round of drinks (a glass of wine and a lager) to then be informed that over half the good menu was unfortunately unavailable. The food menu has changed several times since this place opened and at present it's very limited but in the same token a good menu. We were informed that there was none of the following dishes available to eat: cottage pie, sea bass, sausage and mash; chicken. In reality this leaves extremely limited choice - a steak (expensive!) or burger/pie. Not really good enough!! How can a place expect to attract valued custom when half their menu is "unavailable"? We naturally left and walked to the nearest place to eat. The staff were very pleasant and it was hardly their fault that the menu was so limited, however good management would surely train their staff to inform customers of such a menu shortage before they sit comfortably and order wine. The establishment is beautifully and immaculately presented & the staff are obliging and pleasant. Just very unsure what target market this place is trying to attract? It's tends to ooze upper market and has a cocktail menu, plays trendy background music but then on the flip side has football on a tv in the corner. Each and every time we come in, the place is pretty dead, apart from residents of the hotel. Just not overly sure about it all. I do however wish the management well, as I imagine a lot of hard work and effort has gone into opening the venue for local residents. I just fear this place will not survive long term. I really and truly hope I am proved wrong as we had some fun nights here in the summer weeks. I have tried to be very balanced and honest with my review.
