The Wellsprings Inn Pendle Hill in Ribble Valley

Restaurant with a View on Pendle Hill. Spanish and Mexican food We had the Mexican Chilli and glad due to the very large portion size that we didn't have a starter before hand. Food was exactly as described in the menu and well worth the £16.95 per main dish cost for the amount of food you received. Staff were friendly and helpful, providing top ups with table water when the bottle was empty. Sat at a table with a window view onto the surround valley and rolling hills, unfortunately it was raining so spoiled the view further away. Would recommend to anyone travelling in the area.

I came for a family member’s birthday on Saturday evening. All the staff were amazing and incredibly helpful. The food was delicious and well priced. It was quick service and a beautiful setting. Would recommend 10/10.

I visited with family for my birthday and I have to say this is by far the most delicious food we've ever had! We enjoyed our cocktails and amazing Spanish wines with the most wonderful view. We have already booked in for Christmas! Can’t wait to come back!

Last evening we dined at the restaurant as part of a private wedding party. All went well until I found a hair in my paella. I should have made a big scene as some would instead, I wrapped the hair in a napkin and I had a quiet word with the waitress, Nothing was said so later I asked the waitress and she assured me that she told the kitchen. Today I contacted the restaurant to speak to their management and initially spoke to our waitress who apolgised for not getting back to us. I then spoke to the manager who assured me all the kitchen staff are bald and cannot understand where the hair came from. Our party had just spent £340 on food alone not including a lot spent on drinks and to appease me he offered me a refund on the paella. £22.95. My son (who is a very regular customer) has just visited to collect his car and had a word. He was told a pack of lies and was offered £20. I explained that I would write to Trip Advser and was told to go ahead. WE WILL NOT BE RETURNING.. and the Foods Standards Agency will be informed.

Our family arrived on a Friday evening excitingly looking forward to a lovely meal. It was my partners birthday so expected a nice time. The wait times were totally unacceptable with the main meal arriving an hour and a half after we had finished starters. All the diners were complaining and it made it a very poor atmosphere. The staff didn't even have the courtesy to come over and be open and honest as to why there were delays and made excuses such as we are busy because of the weather etc. That was ridiculous. There was no leadership or guidance for staff. The food when delivered was lovely but the service was dreadful. Sadly the night ruined my partners birthday. Future advice. You need to ensure the kitchen is geared up for more diners.

Never had a bad meal here. Our favourite place to eat. A nice relaxed atmosphere . Attentive staff and the food for all four of us on numerous occasions we've been has been excellent. Would highly recommend this place.

Visited here with family, 4 adults 4 children, staff very attentive and smiley, food was just gorgeous! So much food too! We will be back

Incredible place to enjoy cocktails and a meal with a beautiful view. Both me and my partner enjoyed the paella and the beef enchilada. Would 100% recommend and can’t wait to return!

Extortionate price for the quality of food. 2 of our 3 meals had hair in the refried beans, no discount offered even though the meals weren't eaten because of the hair. We had to pay the full £108 for 2 starters, one kids meal and 2 mains plus a jug of sangria even though the mains weren't eaten. Never coming back.

A group of us visited today, to celebrate mine & my Father in law’s birthday’s. A very pleasant young man, greeted us at the bar & took our order. Also gave us directions to our table, once we were ready & took from us, a joint birthday cake, to be brought to us, at the end of the meal, when given the nod, to do so. Later in the meal, I went back to the bar & requested a non alcoholic spirit, for my Husband , who was a nominated driver, but was told that there wasn’t any. Now, I understand that not every drinking/eating establishment is on board, with this yet, but due to the location of the venue, you would expect there to be at least one or two options. To add to this , the server didn’t apologise, just gave us a soft drink, or alcohol free beer option, in a ‘not really bothered’ manner. Towards the end, the request was made to bring the cake out, as a celebratory gesture. This was accepted, but then when we asked, we was told that we couldn’t consume this on the premises, as we may have an allergic reaction & could then blame the establishment for this being related to any of the food purchased there. Now, I’m not sure if this was awkwardnesses, or just H&S gone mad. Either way, we was disappointed with the news, as we had all come from different locations. However, the establishment was happy to provide receptacles to take the cake away, when asked. We spent nearly £500 in total today & do feel a little disappointed with the overall experience. On a positive note, the food was excellent & we all enjoyed what we had chosen. In a nutshell: Food 5* Service 3* Drink options 3*

Great staff - really welcoming; warm atmosphere; beautiful views on a sunny evening. The food was good: calamari and nachos to start, followed by the Mexican burger and beef strips. The food had flavour and the beef was tender.

The best paella I've ever had in my life the whole experience was 11/10 the staff the food the venue absolutely perfect thanks guys loved it

Such a heartwarming experience, we were greeted by the lovely staff and taken to our table. The scenery is spectacular, offering truly authentic food which was delicious from start to finish! I had the prawns to start and my husband had nachos, both dishes so full of flavour and cooked to perfection. For my main I had the beef fajitas and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his paella. Definitely recommend!

We have been dining at Wellsprings for years. The staff are brilliant, the decor is a feast for the eyes and the food usually never Disappoints. This visit was a let down! We got the calamari as one of the starters (£10) which would have been fine if it was the usual full plate of fresh fried salt and pepper calamari. Instead we got 4 frozen rings which were really hard and had no salt and pepper seasoning. The staff were amazing about it and knocked it off the Bill but disappointed to see them cheaping out on food. Menu needs updating with new dishes as we have exhausted the menu now and don’t feel inclined to return after the poor starter :(

We stumbed accross Wellspring whilst looking on Google Maps for somewhere to eat and were so glad we found it! Nestled amongst some breathtaking views, this place was beautiful and welcoming! The staff were so friendly and helpful and the food delicious! Amazing atmosphere - a must try!

The lodge was lovely, clean and cosy. We had a great welcome, with lots of little extras, that made our stay even better than expected. Would recommend a stay at the lodges., look forward to staying again. The food was delicious as usual. The hospitality is friendly and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere.

I never usually leave reviews but was so impressed with the Wellsprings! Food was absolutely delicious and it is in such a gorgeous setting! We went for my dad's birthday and the staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble. One waitress in particular was amazing with our little girl and catered to her every need with more rice and even her own little portion of ice cream too! Would definitely recommend coming here if you love mexican food! 10 out of 10!

We stayed in one of the lodges and had a meal in the restaurant. Both were lovely - the lodge was cosy and very comfortable whilst the food in the restaurant was fantastic. Ideal for an impromptu night away.

I just love it here. The staff are so friendly and overheard us saying it was eldest birthday and brought out a chocolate brownie with a candle without us asking. The food was delicious and portions really good. I had the pork ribs, which were so tasty and the meat fell off the bone, and the vegetable chimichanga and really enjoyed that too. We will be back soon.

Well, what can I say? Wellsprings is absolutely amazing. My husband bought us here for my birthday and we couldn’t fault it all! The lodges are UNREAL with stunning views. Very modern with beautiful decor. The lodges are well presented and very well equipped with large glass windows/doors with lush views. An outside area overlooking the countryside with table and chairs as well as comfy sofa makes it the perfect spot to take it all in. The bed was comfortable and the free standing bath in the bedroom was fabulous! The little extras made our stay even more amazing - chocolates, biscuits and tea/coffee/milk/OJ on arrival for our stay. We were greeted on arrival by the lovey owners who couldn’t do enough to make our stay so wonderful. They went above and beyond - leaving us birthday balloons and singing happy birthday with a candle in my sweet in the restaurant on top. These touches are what made our stay even more perfect. We had lunch and dinner at the restaurant which was lovely! Food very tasty, service impeccable and the restaurant set up was beautiful again with stunning views. We were couldn’t fault our stay and can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend.

The best place I've ever been like my 2nd home I love the staff an the owners Zak an cath they so warm an kind the foods amazing the venue is breath taking I give them 11out of 10 every time

Always great food and service up here. Our family love it! Nachos, calamares and garlic bread for starter and chicken skewers, paella, fajitas and chicken enchilada for mains. Great choice of drinks and desserts. Child's meal includes an apple juice and they love the kid's brownie!!! The servers are all wonderful. Definitely the best in the area for a family meal.

Arrived at the restaurant and it was very cold and hardly any other guests there so a terrible atmosphere. Waitress was very friendly but the food was awful. The Nachos' that came were dire and piled with iceberg lettuce on top and hardly any food underneath- cost cutting at its worst. This is not authentic Mexican food by any stretch of the imagination. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Birthday celebrations for 5! Wellsprings is a great place for an evening dine-out with friends. Greeted with a smile from the owner and shown to our table. The restaurant was busy however this did not affect the great service we were given throughout the evening. The food is great as always and the views are amazing. Can't wait for a return visit.

The best place ever it's my fav place in England for sure food incredible staff absolutely awesome the best ever the views amazing you have to go honestly I give it 15/10 it's that good I go every Friday sometimes during week to

What a beautiful setting and restaurant. We took my dad to celebrate his birthday and had an amazing evening. I'd definitely tell all our friends about Wellsprings if they haven't already tried it before it's a must. Can't wait to come back and try more delicious dishes and fab wine.

We were blessed with the weather and sat in an airy room ideal for the seven of us. It was a birthday lunch. I had a vegetable soup which was piping hot exactly as ordered. It was smooth and delicious. My main was a filet steak. Unlike the others who had ordered steak, I asked for mine to be medium rare. It came somewhat well done. The steak was superb quality and everyone else enjoyed theirs, including two who had salmon. The staff were excellent and very helpful. I had a crème brûlée which was fine and three others had puddings which they enjoyed. I would not hesitate to return and if the steak is medium rare next time it will be a five star rating from me.

Wanted to try this restaurant after reading all the good reviews so decided to book it for the bank holiday Monday although not usually open on a Monday but being a bank holiday they were opening at 4.00pm. Beautiful setting, excellent service, good food, highly recommend p.

Lovely food and the views are incredible looking west. Great place to visit and a brilliant vibe in the restaurant. We’re definitely going to be visiting again!

The location of this restaurant is breathtaking with stunning views and the food is stunning too,Spanish/Mexican ,but make sure you’re hungry because the portions are huge. The staff are so friendly and attentive,people come here from miles around and no wonder

The best Mexican ever. The food is yum the views fab and the staff lovely. This is our go to place and have never had a bad time there. Cannot recommend it enough. It is the king of the hill ❤️

Brilliant food and brilliant staff. Staff were on top of drinks and clearing our plates between meals. Views were really nice and on a clear day can see right across the valley. Cant wait to come back again!

Such a good restaurant, I can’t fault it at all. The food was amazing & the staff were impeccable. I would 100% recommend, I had the king prawns for starter & the chicken squeezes for my main! Incredible food I can’t wait to to go back x

The food was burnt we advised them and was told it was crispy. The food was black and you couldn’t cut it with a knife. I politely brought this up when the waitress asked how the food was and she rudely answered me back that I was wrong her voice kept getting louder even though I’d not raised mine it felt like she was trying to start an argument with me. I wanted to politely give feedback but didn’t bother after she was so rude. If I’m honestly the food was awful. The nachos had more lettuce than tortillas, maybe because lettuce is cheaper it mean the tortillas were soggy and awful. It wasn’t traditional Mexican by any means the nachos had tinned pineapple on top. The bed at thing was the views and sangria. Hearing feedback doesn’t always have to be negative it can it can be constructive if given in the right manner to help a place improve it didn’t need to be taken on but if they want people to keep coming back it can help listening to peoples views.

Me and my friends visited The Wellsprings to celebrate a birthday and we had such an amazing time! The location is stunning and the views are always breathtaking. The food is cooked fresh to order and the choice on the menu is fantastic. Our favourites were the garlic bread and lingostinos for starters and the chicken enchiladas and chicken skewers for main course. The staff were so welcoming and polite- nothing was too much trouble which was brilliant as this place is BUSY! Another great experience here- thank you.

Great location pity about the food. Over priced for what it is. I could have cooked it quicker & better myself, over cooked chicken, very dry , a pinch of salad & shop bought tortillas. Very basic Not what I would class as Mexican.

What an incredible restaurant, the views are amazing, the food, cocktails were excellent and service was great! I had the chicken chimichangas and my partner had the bistec sizzling platter which were both delicious. Really good value for money and the atmosphere is simply fantastic, would highly recommend.

This place has stunning views. There seems to be a random jumble Sale in the entrance which didn’t fit in with the restaurant. We asked the waitress if the sea food platter was frozen and her response was she didn’t know. We had to ask her to go and check. Unfortunately it was. We decided to try it and it wasn’t great. Wouldn’t really say the menu is real Mexican. No Gordita’s, tacos, chillaqiilles or mole. Would say it’s more of a Mediterranean restaurant. Price was good.

Had a family meal for the 1st time sat night service , food and atmosphere was excellent. Would recommend it to anybody.

We came for a meal here just before Christmas Food and service excellent, staff friendly Would highly recommend and would go again

We've just come back from a lovely family meal at The Wellsprings. The staff are really friendly & efficient. The food was fantastic. Tasty and good size portions. Brilliant choices for vegetarians & children. Perfect!

Always consistently great food, my husband and I visited with mum and thoroughly enjoyed the food. I had the beef enchilada, mum had the chicken and Tom had the prawns.

Family of 11, eaten Xmas dinner at the wellsprings today. Best Xmas dinner we’ve probably ever had, not just the food but the service was impeccable. Cannot recommend enough!! Thankyou all so much

Amazing staff, gorgeous food and incredible views. The staff all made out night the perfect night. We’ve been back since again already :) the desserts are too good! And homemade 😋

Came for a meal with a family. Beautiful place, amazing staff and very delicious food. Definitely come back again and again.

We visited with my mum (who is a regular) but were blown away by how special this restaurant is. The views, the service and the food were all unbelievable. Definitely worth a visit. Fantastic!

We’ve had several meals here over the years and we were looking forward to calling today. We always sit down on the terrace so we can enjoy the views. However today we were told that us and our dogs couldn’t go out there and we’d...

This is one of our favourite restaurants, the food is fabulous and the staff very friendly that's why I can't understand why their breakfasts are both small and expensive, we would call for breakfast regularly if they were better.

Excellent quality food and family run business that makes you proud to spend your money in it. Met the whole family who were excellent. Great to hear staff who have worked there for 17 years. Staff seem happy and it shows in the experience you...

Senior members of the staff were rude and offensive following a pretty straightforward customer complaint. We had been prepared to continue with our meal even after the first rude comment and staff not acknowledging that there was a valid complaint. However our family birthday celebration...

We were looking for somewhere for lunch after a trip to Clitheroe and were extremely glad to have found this gem. My Spanish tortilla was divine and my partner and his mum were equally pleased with their food which was all very well presented and...

Food was lovely. Biggest problem was the restaurant was very cold. The log burner they had going was far to small for the restaurant and heating was off. Second time we have been here and found it to be cold. Other diners were wearing coats.

We haven't visited as a family since last Summer but it certainly didn't disappoint. We love the authentic Spanish ambience that brings all the holiday feels. The food is excellent and the service is superb. Still a must do if you're in the local area!

We only went in to get a tea to takeout, but we changed our minds seeing the wonderful surroundings and the the beautiful ambiance including a log 🔥 we ended up having some desserts with our tea; a lemon cheesecake and a crème brulee ....

Having booked for New Year’s Eve quite a while ago we knew Covid problems may affect the evening. What we weren’t prepared for was the gracious way they dealt with this. An evening with d.j. and dancing was £65 and had to be cancelled. Instead...

We decided last minute to go out and I’m so glad we did. The Wellsprings was busy but they squeezed us in. Service was efficient , everyone was friendly and the food was plentiful and superb. We will be back thanks

I just had to write to tell you what an amazing evening we had at Wellsprings last Thursday, celebrating our son's 18th birthday. We were really touched that you had gone to the trouble of putting up a birthday banner and balloons at the table...

This is one of the best meals I have had for quite some time. Great service and extremely wonderful surroundings. I had Mussels and my brother had Rump steak followed by Lemon meringue. Sensible pricing.

Sunday lunch with a couple of close friends. Stuck for somewhere to go. Wow what food; utterly delightful. Nice ambiance, pleasant staff; well good!! Definitely going again and again and again. My first review... never felt the urge before. Well done Wells Springs.

Good environment, quiet and excellent views! The food was very appreciate, not too spicy 🌶 as it was asked, the waiting time was perfect. Well done and we will definitely came back. And we will spread the word.

Service is excellent and the staff can not do enough for you. There is a lot of staff which is good so you're not left waiting for anything. Food was good too.

We’ve visited this restaurant a few times as a family, and it’s become a regular place for us despite its quirky low level service - it’s got superb views which make up for it. However I’ve got some issues. We’ve recently tried to book this...

On the 25th July, we visited the absolutely beautiful establishment, but I’m afraid to say the service and the cleanliness of The Well Springs establishment really let it down. The food was good,(wouldn't say Mexican) but our table was dirty and there was a broken...

We always visit The Wellsprings and since lockdown, the place has really transformed. The servers can't do enough for you and they provide a really great service that can't be stopped. A must do if you're in the local area and the views are simply...

Sat outside and had a lovely evening. Amazing food and amazing service. Would highly recommend and will definitely be revisiting!

Pretty average. San eclectic mix of food that's not really Mexican or Spanish. Service was fine but the good was very average. Wouldn't go back. Nice location.

Fabulous meal and service for my husbands 50th we will be back balloon and cake lovely touch and a surprise for us both despite bad weather it was a lovely evening and staff were fabulous

We hadn’t been since before the first lockdown - it certainly didn’t disappoint- the staff were amazing, the food as fabulous as always. We’ve had a fabulous evening and can’t wait to come back again soon.. thank you for a lovely night

table booked, found out at time of booking that there is no 2 for 1 offer Google have put this on. Scene is definitely worth travelling for. Food was devious, freshly cooked to order. Restaurant was recommended to us and we would definitely recommend

My friend and I visited late on a Saturday afternoon, prebooked. Stunning location; Lovely staff, very welcoming and accommodating. The food was delicious. However, my only criticism is that, whilst attempting to have excellent service, several different staff members interrupted our meal, impacting on our...

The food was more like a 11+ demestic science cooking class. If this was Mexican food at its best god help us at its worst. At the price £15 main meal you would expect quality food and produce. I can only describe the meal as...

We dined here as a family with a dog and was made to feel welcome upon arrival. The waiting staff were very attentive and we had no trouble ordering, despite being in the garden overlooking the ribble valley. The food was really good and very...

What a setting!! Food drinks atmosphere everything 5 star!!! Had a fantastic night and amazing value for money!!!

We have visited Wellsprings a few times prior to COVID, after this they have extended it with some lovely balcony’s and a beer garden, unfortunately this is the extent of the niceties. We were celebrating a birthday so asked to be sat outside so we...
