The White Hart in Ribble Valley

We had our daughter's Christening here and it was lovely. The buffet was lovely and plenty of food, everyone complimented it. We would definitely come here again. The staff were brilliant and worked very hard. The lovely open fires were a fantastic touch,it's very warm and welcoming! Definitely worth a visit!! Thanks again to the White Hart

Called in on Friday evening for dinner. Our first visit was about a month previous where we booked in for a Greek night. We were not particularly impressed with the food that night but wanted to give it another try as the reviews are so good. We ordered from the main menu and the food was really really good. I had the toad in the hole which was fantastic, local sausages which tasted amazing, the mash was perfect and the veg cooked so well. My husband had the steak pie, again perfect and my daughter said her chicken burger was great. Service was lovely, a very warm welcome, with attentive, organised staff and I’m so pleased we gave it another go. We will certainly be back soon. Well priced tasty food in a lovely cosy pub.

Spotted The White Hart while driving through the village and decided to stop for lunch. The service was very good and we enjoyed the food. The chunky cut chips were excellent and the Lancashire cheese and homemade chutney were great. Much to choose from on menu, planning to return again to sample more. Highly recommended

Both had chicken cordon bleu. Cooked well in a lovely light crumb, nice salad to accompany & huge chips which were home-made & delicious.

10 of us went to Celebrate my brothers birthday. Nice staff, excellent service & great food. Chose the Cordon Bleu Chicken, good choice, proper chips, baby carrots & red cabbage.

INFO FOR ALL BIKE RIDERS. ROAD OR MTB. After a ride out the other day, I stopped at the White Hart sabden for a drink. They've just had a magnificent bike shed put up at the side of their pub. This is excellent, loads of space with some good and robust bars to secure your bike too. Definitely a good idea and comforting to know you can leave it somewhere securely. Added that the pub is great too. Good food, staff and atmosphere. What else do you want??

From the moment we arrived in our campervan for a two night stay. Stephen and Tom extended us a really warm welcome into their lovely village pub. Their hospitality and the friendliness of the locals made our stay extra special. Not to mention their 2nd Anniversary ‘Ho Down’ complete with BBQ, live music and line dancing! If you are a keen walker, the pub is ideally situated for the Pendle Hill hike. Sabden is definitely a hidden gem that is well worth a visit. Be sure to stop off at the White Hart, say hello to Stephen and Tom, meet the locals and get involved! Kev & Jo

A lovely drive to this pub from any direction. We visited based on reviews. We were told quite a while after ordering that only half of the food we ordered would come with chips but they could substitute fries. No problem. The chips that did come seem to have been around for some time looking at the colour and must have been the last of a batch. Worth a visit but I wouldn't rush to return. The waitress was very friendly and helpful.

Took the wife for her birthday treat. We were greeted very well and the young man wished my wife happy birthday, which pleaded her. We ordered our drinks and then food. I ordered the Toad in the Hole, and the boss chose the Chicken Kiev. Well, when it arrived we were pleasantly surprised at the portion size. The Boss could not believe the size of the chicken and loved the fact that the garlic butter came in a little jug. My Toad int Hole was amazing. Honey roasted baby carrots were to die for, and the local sausage was very tasty. The whole dish was just superb and a full jug of gravey to boot. Would recommend to anyone to try this multi award winning pub.

Fabulous nibbles, tasty and enjoyable and the portions were great!! Staff were fast and helpful. Will definitely be visiting again and would recommend to family and friends

Called in for pint and saw the special of lamb shank pie. We shared as it was huge. ... absolutely delicious. Served with proper homemade chips, gravy and scrumptious braised red cabbage with star anise . Would definitely recommend

The White Hart is a very nice place for a casual meal. The food is always excellently well cooked and is fresh food. We have eaten here on many occasions and have never been disappointed. The staff are very friendly and helpful when choosing meals. In the winter there are roaring fires. There are also many events during the year the murder mystery evenings are excellent with 3 courses enjoyed during the performance.

We visited The White Hart in Sabden on the last May bank holiday Sunday, and it turned out to be an absolute blast! The pub was packed and was buzzing with excitement, thanks to the fantastic tribute acts lined up - ABBA, Kylie, and Dolly Parton. The food was delicious, had the beer battered fish and chips, yum..!! Prices are very reasonable with a good selection of drinks to choose from. The pub’s friendly atmosphere was amplified by the welcoming landlords and the lively crowd. We can't wait to come back! It’s a gem of a place with good food, reasonable prices, and top-notch entertainment.

This is a lovely pub. The service was excellent, second to none. The food was amazing, the best I have had in a long time. Compliments to the chef! Definitely recommend and cannot wait to return!

Came today on the back of seeing full page spread in the paper , and was blow away with service and food , was greeted with smile and warm welcome and the perception of the food taste was amazing , we came with party 4 at lunch and at the time it was quite busy but whole experience was amazing couldn't fault the food or the service very well done

Attended a murder mystery night here which was fabulous fun. Beautiful pub nestled in the picturesque countryside of Sabden. Attentive, efficient, friendly staff. Divine food and an impressive selection of drinks behind the bar. Lively atmosphere. Loved it! Will definitely be returning.

I am a regular to the pub. But haven't eaten there for a while. After a normal busy day I popped in for my usual and decided to stay for food. Couldn't decide on tea. And I have to say.... Bloody marvelous. Tasty, filling and as usual, fabulous service. Love the place and thankfully it's on my doorstep. Thanks guys.... Keep doing what you do.

Went for a meal with friends on a wet miserable Wednesday evening. It was lovely to see the fire roaring and the pub was warm. There were so many delicious dishes on the menu it was difficult to choose. Food was great, we had starters and mains and all were delicious and served by our friendly hosts. We’ll be back.

Not laughed so much in ages are the Irish night good hosts and food entertainment keep it up ladd will see you again soon can't wait for the next specially night

A definite 5/5 for our second visit in two weeks. Both visits have been faultless. Credit where its due the pies were superb and the chocolate brownie exceptional. Currently awaiting my caramelised apple tart. Would highly recommend. Also dog friendly.

What a find this pub was. Nice atmosphere competitive prices. Fantastic singer performing so we stayed for another drink

Visited friends who live locally, there was a big group of us and we all enjoyed our meals. The staff are very attentive and friendly. Dog friendly as well which is always a bonus. Will definitely be back!

Lovely pub. Great atmosphere, friendly, helpful staff. Good range of drinks, food was excellent lovely veggie cheese pie followed by delicious sticky toffee pudding! We’ll definitely return when next visiting the area. Highly recommended.

Great entertainment and friendly atmosphere. Really enjoyed the vegan cauli steak and stuffed pepper. Staff are very attentive, so nice to find a dog friendly pub. We will definitely be back.

Lovely local pub with log fires. Dog friendly, lots of different ales and drinks. We were a party of 10 and we all ate a meal. The food was absolutely delicious. All the meals were freshly home made and all served together. Would highly recommend. The staff were super friendly and really helpful, they went above and beyond to make sure we had a good evening.

Are first time of dining here and had a good meal and good service, the 3 of us shared 3 for £14 nibbles, 1 x Sticky Chilli Beef, 1 x Black Pudding Fritters and 1 x Sticky Chorizo all very tasty. I had the cheese & onion pie, my wife had the S&P king prawn salad and our son had B&B burger, all very good and will return again. Thank you

Oh my gosh, the food in this place is amazing best home cooked pub food we’ve ever had. The staff were so lovely and friendly, already recommended to friends and we plan on returning soon.

Visited here after a lovely walk around Sabden Res! The cheese and onion pie is to die for! Absolutely delicious! Breaded Brie starter was amazing and so tasty, great value for money also. Service was quick, friendly and made the experience 10 times better. Can’t wait to return!

Had a terrible experience here . Bern in December and good was lovely . Visited yesterday for a special birthday and food was terrible. Had the fish n chips , plate was full of grease and didn’t taste rite .so dissapointed. Chios were awful fish greasy . Unfortunately won’t be returning.

Food was absolutely beautiful. Could not fault it. Service was good, just a few minor blips but nothing major. Didn't overshadow the quality of the food. Will definitely return

Fabulous food definitely would recommend. Had the two courses for £20 well worth the money. Staff are lovely and friendly 😊. The landlords are great. The white hart craft lager is really tasty far better than fosters.

Spot on ! Friendly staff , good food, didn’t have to wait too long . Ran out of a couple of things on the menu but compensated very well with alternatives so was very happy. I recommend The White Heart highly x

Fabulous place to meet friends. The half roast chicken was the best I've had anywhere! Not at all dry. The cheesecake was so fresh and light aswell. Definitely will be going back.

Visited this lovely pub again on Saturday. It was very busy with lots of entertainment in the big beer garden - live music, BBQ and a bouncy castle! Had some food too, the steak pie was so tasty and all in all was very good...

Spent a Saturday afternoon/evening in this lovely pub. Had lovely food (the steak was cooked to perfection) and the bar later was busy with some really nice people. Had such a good day/night. The staff and owners were very friendly. Highly recommend a visit

First visit definitely not the last, a very warm welcome and the food was superb we went for the 3 course for £18 .Attention to detail was evident in every way.

Just had the 3 courses for £18. Absolutely fantastic. Good village pub/restaurant. Helpful friendly staff nice pint and great wine selection. Amazing

A family group plus dog visited for Sunday lunch. The roast beef was perfection, and an excellent sticky toffee pud for dessert. Plenty of other choices if you don't want a roast (heathen). I had visited several times before but this was a first visit for everyone else. They were really impressed, and the dog was happy too. The female server was really friendly and efficient.

Absolutely delicious meal served on beautiful crockery by lovely staff. The steak and blue cheese pie and home made custard tart were amazing.

Staff all lovely and attentive. However food was disappointing. Ordered fish & chips, sent chips back as cold then 2nd portion were luke warm. Vegetarian option polenta and halloumi was just okay but bland and small portions. Unfortunately won't be returning for food.

Visited one evening and a nice warm cosy pub. Set menu had plenty of choice compared to different pubs that have a limited menu. Food was good but portions were about low Would visit again

3 course set menu. Every course was lovely. Black pudding, sea bass, chicken pie, raspberry crumble and custard. Lovely atmosphere in pub, very friendly.

Had a lovely meal last night, the food has been abit hit and miss recently but was definitely back on track last night. Love Emma and her team; they make the Whitehart, all work really hard, best it's ever been.

We had a good welcome into the pub and the waitress was very nice and informative . The starters were very nice but when it came to the main course it was a big disappointment. The fillet steak was tasteless, the potatoes par cooked and the duck was tough and raw. While we there the couple next to us sent a steak back also.

Amazing Sunday lunch, the Yorkshire puddings were beautifully fresh n gravy thick and plentiful, what a great find on the spur of the moment stop off - well commended.

Very disaapointed once again with the White Hart. Seemed to start well with the welcome and orders. Then it went downhill! The Manager returned to tell us Some starters and the veggie main weren’t available. Wouldn’t you know this when taking orders??? Starters eventually arrived but the mains took forever. Most of the party were disappointed with their food, especially The lamb special which was not worth the money at all. We complained and were given a discount by the Manager, the young girl waitress needs retraining and doesn’t smile at all. We left feeling really disappointed and won’t be rushing back for food!

Was expecting same standard as the other pubs in the chain. Was disappointed to say the least. Place needs a good refurb. Entrance was filthy which didn’t give a good first impression. Parking was a pain even though there were only two other people in. Gave us three menu options to choose from but only gave us one copy of each between three. Chairs cushions were dirty and the place was freezing. Food was ok. Edible but nothing special. Chunky chips appeared to be yesterday’s warmed through and the tartare sauce with fish n chips was served warm which made it runny like it had been watered down. Didn’t taste of tartur sauce at all. Website said £16 for three courses Between certain times which was not what it was at the pub. It was £20 and it was a shorter menu than the website. All in all it was ok but won’t be going back unless things improve a lot.

Great friendly service, fab food & great live music on a Saturday night. Would have given 5 stars but just found it hard to chat over the meal ( group of friends trying to “catch up”) with the band playing. Had a great night though

We had heard very good things about the place but were disappointed on a number of levels. It was a Sunday lunch time. Limited beer on, no sherry. The young waitress needs serious training. General manner poor, didn’t know what the basic wines were “because (she’s) too young to drink” wine I so gave up asking and just had a Pino. She kept going in the kitchen to check what was on or off the menu. What looked like the owner just moved our coats off a spare chair , no comment why. Turned up at the table with a dirty table cloth dangling out of her hand. Waited over an hour for food. My cheese pie was ok (it was the last slice I was to,d) but very dry as had been kept warm for ages. Beans portion small and not that nice. Truffle chips just very salty fries? Tiny amount of fresh veg for 2 with the roast dinner. Goodness knows how much the portion for one would have been. Place grubby and food overpriced. Service poor. Sorry won’t be returning. Other locals much better.

We're locals who eat & drink here regularly, not because of its proximity but for the consistently good food, service & of course value for money. We asked for a table 7:30 ish, and had our usual wine waiting for us at the table, excellent start. Starters of haggis and spring roll arrived in timely fashion and were spot on. Followed by the magnificent lamb rump, good grief it's good, the accompaniments outstandingly complimentary, high end cooking indeed. My Wife had the Hake which was superb. A panna cotta finished the food side off but coffees and port kept the evening rolling on. Service from all concerned was attentive without being intrusive. I absolutely do not need asking if the food is alright, if it's not I will tell you politely and without fuss. The whole experience was an outstanding success and I can truthfully say I have never been disappointed at The White Hart. I recommend.

I booked a table in advance via their online table reservation service. On entering the pub we were asked by a courteous young lady if we had booked a table. I advised we had and a small short haired woman came to the bar and started to check her tablet. At no point did she acknowledge us and seemed to be struggling to find our booking. She eventually found it and spoke to the younger girl advising her of the table number. Not exactly the most welcoming start. We ordered drinks with the younger lady and sat down. Another lady came with 2 menus neither of which was extensive and then advised they only had one chicken Sunday left and that they had no fish left. A young lady came with a tray with 4 glasses on and split them all over the next table (Not the young ladies fault it can happen to anyone) but to hear herswear when she split them is not acceptable. The drinks wars replaced and we ordered 2 starters and asked for 3 fillet steaks and I asked for the 1 remaining chicken Sunday dinner. The waitress then returned some time later to advise that they had no filler steaks left and would sirloin steak be acceptable. We said it would then the tin hat was when she returned again and said they no longer had the chicken dinner available. At this stage I told her to forget it and went to the bar to pay for the 4 drinks we had half drunk. The same small short haired woman made no attempt to apologise or ask why we were leaving. What restaurant runs out of steak and chicken on a Sunday at 3pm in the afternoon whoever is running this restaurant needs to go back to two basic retail services have sufficient food and go back to customer care training school

A lady with red short hair who looked like the manager started being rude and arrogant when there was mention of the food taking over 2 hours from being served. The same woman with red hair then said “stop complaining” and kept making sarcastic comments instead of improving the service.

Cosy village pub serving decent grub and service with a smile. Lovely pub, really nice friendly staff, outstanding service and most important: top notch food. It’s the first time we’ve been after wanting to go for a while, and I can’t wait to go back. The staff and manager were really chatty and welcoming and from walking in there and the atmosphere was just lovely. Thanks for looking after us so well and see you soon once Dry-January is out the way for that gin Little bit of feedback-larger scoop of ice cream needed with the sticky toffee pudding. Hardly a complaint, it’s just needed a bit more. Otherwise not a single thing wrong from start to end.

Although we have had lunch at the White Hart for the last three years on Christmas Eve, this year was very disappointing! Our table was booked, the fire roaring, all seemed lovely as always. Unfortunately things then took a turn for the worse. Even though they were not as busy as previous years.After an hour we asked if our food would be served soon? The staff said it was on the hot plate and would be out soon. In not a very friendly manner! When Our food for a table of four arrived it was Luke warm. The pork steaks were mediocre with mash and two pieces of wilted greens. Only one meal out of four could be said to be nice, the beef.Sorry White Hart, we found the staff surly and the food very disappointing. Not worth another visit.

Before I start my review let me say I have read reviews going back to last September to get a feel of what others have expereinced and it seems to be one or the other, fabulous or dire, sadly our experience was the latter,

Service brilliant, lovely atmosphere, compliments to chefs food is amazing and brilliant value definitely be visiting again, suitable for couples, families and friends and staff are lovely welcoming, and always making sure you have everything you need definitely returning

A very busy restaurant for a Sunday evening . My initial impression was poor. There was a definite lack of staff behind the bar. I waited twenty minutes for 2 drinks. However for the rest of the evening my wife and I were well fed and served by attentive staff in a very relaxed atmosphere. Would certainly return.

Decided to head out for Sunday lunch and, having never been before, opted for the White Hart at Sabden. No wondering why the heck we've not been before.

Food, amazing Staff even better Absolutely billionth pub great atmosphere! Really nice and family friendly would recommend to the world

Great staff, the food was perfect and came in next to no time, would Advise to come for anything from a family dinner to a quiet drink
