Toms Table in Ribble Valley

Wow, wow, wow, what I great find Tom's table was. Nestled in a beautiful courtyard, we were given a warm welcome by the staff setting the tone for the evening. The charming decor made us feel at home, it is cosy amd comfortable. The staff were very attentive, with drinks being served very quickly. The food however stole the show, beautiful in flavour and presentation, every part beautifully placed. The flavours were wonderfully balanced, there were no parts that did not add to the dishes.

I've visited this restaurant several times, and it always exceeds expectations. Pleasant staff, phenomenal quality food in a warm and welcoming environment.

Had an absolutely beautiful meal tonight at Toms Table, the food was delicious and well presented. And the service! Trudi couldn’t do enough for us. To start we decided to go for the special Truffled Duck, and it was to die for. The apricot & orange relish really brought the dish together. For our mains I went for the special Moroccan lamb, while my wife went for the scorched sea bass. Both dishes were fantastic, I can’t recommend them enough. For dessert we shared the specials fruit soufflé, we have had soufflé a few times here but this one right here! Knocked the others out of the park. Big thanks to the chefs and the team, you made my wife’s birthday so special.

Started my lunch with the smoked haddock & leek tart; small but tasty. This was followed by the chicken, which was accompanied by a pommes anna. I have eaten pommes anna in France on several occasions & made it myself. It is traditionally made by baking thinly sliced potatoes until the outer layer is golden brown & crisp & the underneath soft. In this case, there was no underneath & the top was burnt underneath. This was pointed out to the waitress who took the dish away and returned it several minutes later with the potatoes replaced. The only difference being they were not burnt. By this time, my friend had finished her dish. The waitress explained that the potatoes were the chefs take on pommel anna. Now call me old-fashioned but when I order a classic dish I expect the original otherwise call it something else. I also ordered the cauliflower as a side dish. Otherwise, I would have left hungry. In fairness, they did reduce the bill by £12.

It is situated to somewhat like a courtyard. There’s ample parking below the restaurant. The place was cozy. I had the soup du jour as starter and the French Chicken as mains. The Belgian Chocolate Mousse for dessert is highly recommended. All in all our experience here was superb. The staff were warm and friendly. Food was excellent. Good value for money. A definite destination when visiting Clitheroe,

Absolutely superb dinner on Saturday evening. Great vibe and great music. Cuisine delicious. All four of us very, very impressed. Service excellent even though very busy. Thank you to the team who served us who were very warm and welcoming. Well worth the 80 minute drive from Lymm. We will be back very soon.

Superb evening. Went to celebrate a retirement and we weren’t disappointed. Champagne on ice waiting as requested. Service excellent and food quality absolutely spot on. Definitely one of our favourites. Thank you

Went for a late lunch 2 pm but welcomed in by lovely staff with full menu available Had starters and mains...all freshly cooked and toothsome Nice size bistro portions This place has had several changes of use...was a cheese shop once...this is the best yet by a long way

First visit with a friend Too engrossed to take photos but throughly enjoyed our lunch of soup, ham fritter, soufflé so much so we’ve booked Sunday lunch Good staff

Went here for our anniversary and the food and service were excellent. We'll definitely be returning. We had 3 courses and got an extra portion of fries because we had seen a few reviews saying the portions were small however we didn't need the fries.

We have just enjoyed a perfect 3 course Sunday lunch. £38 for 3 courses. It was faultless and the staff were lovely and efficient.

Once again a fantastic lunch time meal, lovely warm welcome and the service was the same , really welcoming. My wife and I had: Sticky Treacle & Chilli Chipolatas Venison & Ham Arancini wild garlic pesto & parmesan 2 x Scorched Fillet of Seabass herb crushed potato, samphire, cauliflower, almonds caper & lemon dressing . Sticky Ginger Parkin Yorkshire rhubarb & stem ginger compote, butterscotch & clotted cream. A nice pint of Poretti larger and a bottle of Chenin Blanc and a Irish Coffee. Fantastic xx 😘

one of our party asked for more bread to go with his starter and was given one slice of white bread but looking at the bill later we were charged £2.50 for one slice of ordinary supermarket white bread. this leaves a nasty taste.

We visited Toms for my husband and dad’s birthday and had the best celebratory dinner. Each course was exceptionally cooked, served and tasted incredible. The ambience and staff at Toms are special, friendly and welcoming especially with their new bar. Our meal was perfectly paired with beautiful wines (champagne and Neropasso) cocktails and lovely non-alcoholic cocktails for my dad which is often hard to find (the winter punch was 👌)! The cheese soufflé is the best I have had and couldn’t resist having the special soufflé for my dessert as well. And if that wasn’t enough my dad and husband both had birthday surprise dessert at the end of the meal with an individual cake and birthday message. Thank you for a beautiful time we are very lucky to have such a special place in Clitheroe ❤️❤️

Found this little gem by chance , and what a find . We booked for Sunday lunch the next day . From start to finish , we were blown away . All the staff were just lovely, making us and our dog , feel very welcome ( water and treats for our dog ) Such a warm , cosy restaurant. Had 3 courses and a bottle of delicious red wine . Loved every mouthful . The only thing my husband wasn’t keen on was the sharpness of the sorbet in his dessert , but that’s just personal taste . I had a gorgeous twice bakes cheese soufflé , roast chicken Sunday lunch and ginger Parkin with toffee sauce and clotted cream …..oh my goodness ….amazing . Will definitely be back , keep up the good work .

first time visit, food was excellent BUT the wines were very expensive for what they were. I eat out often enough to expect a mark up but I thought the wine was overpriced by at least 20% so bring the price down or improve the quality. but just to emphasize the food was BRILLIANT.

Found this place on Google. Myself and my husband enjoyed the food. We thought every course was absolutely delicious. Will be visiting again and highly recommending.

My three friends and I stumbled upon a well-lit alleyway while walking through Clitheroe, leading us to discover a beautiful secret bar. The establishment offered a variety of cocktails and drinks, and Oliver, our bartender, was exceptionally hospitable and guided our drink selection. I opted for the honey and orange margarita, which was fantastic! The other cocktails were equally impressive. We were then drawn to the food menu as we realised there was also a restaurant downstairs. The bartender kindly found us a table and took us downstairs. The atmosphere was delightful, and we were warmly greeted by Trudy, another outstanding member of the staff. We proceeded to order starters and main courses. I chose the soufflé starter and the beef rump for my main, both of which were exquisite (kudos to the chef!). Throughout the evening, the quality of service remained outstanding, with attentive and thoughtful staff, all at reasonable prices. I highly recommend and look forward to returning soon!!

Pre-gig meal and Tom's Table was just perfect. Arrived just before 5.00pm and had a drink in the bar then taken to our table. Fantastic service throughout the evening from everyone serving us. Great food, beautifully presented and all 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. Superb value too. We will definitely be back.

Incredible! We visited for the first time since moving to the area six months ago and it’s easily our favourite restaurant in the local area so far. We came for the Steak & Date night offer on Wednesdays and everything was perfect, we couldn’t fault it. The service was spot on, the food was all delicious and they even gave us a complimentary dessert with a lovely message written on it as we were celebrating our anniversary. We will definitely be visiting again!

We arrived last Saturday night for a family meal but there had been some mix-up over the booking which my daughter had made a few weeks previously. In all fairness, Kate did her best to accommodate our party of 6 and we were soon assigned to our table. Lovely ambience, excellent service and attention from the front of house staff (special mention for Gracie on her 1st night on shift - she never stopped smiling!). The food and drink were excellent, plenty to choose from, portion sizes were generous and all well presented and most enjoyable. A nice touch at the end of the meal was when my wife and I were surprised on presentation of a dessert each on the occasion of her birthday the previous week and my own this week. Thank you Tom, Kate and all your staff for a very enjoyable evening. If visiting Clitheroe then I would highly recommend dining at Tom’s Table.

Fantastic. I have been wanting to dine here for a while and finally had the chance today. Well firstly what a beautiful building, over 3 floors with wonderful ambiance. All the staff were charming and knowledgeable. For starters I had chipolata sausages followed by cheese soufflé ending with melting chocolate pudding and my husband had chicken thighs, same soufflé followed with ginger cake. Please look at their online menu for full food details. Best lunch in a very long time and will definitely be making the journey again for some more wonderful food. Thank you Tom

Walking down from the main street of Clitheroe into the adjacent courtyard we were initially unsure about this lovely restaurant but the evening lighting and cracking view set the scene well. Great food and service ensured we had a night to remember with top quality steaks, starters and desserts accompanied by a range of recommended drinks.

Stayed locally and this place is absolutely fantastic. The staff are lovely. The beer wine and drinks were perfect and we spoke to the owner Tom. If it’s a special occasion or you’re just popping by, check it out it’s really lovely

Brilliant food and great atmosphere! As always Toms Table excelled with fantastic food, drink, and atmosphere. Local ingredients and a clearly passionate chef, you can’t go wrong here…keep up the good work guys!

We dropped by unexpectedly on Sunday with no booking .Got us a table and I'm so glad they did .Food service ambience all fabulous .Lovely chilled atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble.We were upstairs and the staff were up and down no end checking on everyone.Every table was full so obviously people know this place already.Excellant !! Can't wait to return

Another amazing trip to Toms last night, fabulous as aways and very busy. Staff are warm and welcoming, couldn't do more for us. The food outstanding, again, as always. Keep doing what your doing and we will see you again soon.

Not as good as I expected reading the reviews I live in an area with lots of good restaurants so this didn’t live up to expectations I ate here with my husband and 2 sons I was very disappointed to be be referred by all members of staff as “Guys” every time. I really didn’t expect this and wasn’t very impressed The food was ok ish but we all thought it was too salty Too many places in the county to go to this place again

Excellent venue, service and of course the food. We went on a Sunday afternoon and found the menu to be just what we would want to choose from. The difficulty was choosing from the selection as we all thought every dish sounded very appetising. We had the soup, ham hock and chorizo fritter and the chicken liver pate for starters. All delicious and well presented. As it was a Sunday our mains were either Sirloin of beef or the Chicken breast. Again all delicious and accompanied with an assortment of vegetables cooked perfectly. The Yorkshire’s are amazing and like no other we have had before. To finish off we had the Bailey’s cheesecake and cheese boards. We had a great meal in a nicely laid out restaurant. Highly recommend Toms Table, we will definite be back!

I went in for a quick lunch and ordered the Haddock Goujon sandwich. It was accompanied by a salad and fries and was very good value for money. I will definitely be going back for that lunch again but will try to save room for dessert. Thank you, Toms Table

The food was delicious. Cooked to perfection . Everyone agreed the Chocolate Fondant was the best dessert they had ever had. Service is very good. Worth every penny .

Fantastic lunch this is our second visit . Food out of this world staff very very friendly and obliging. We will be back.

Having a show at The Grand , we wondered out to eat between soundcheck snd show. Driven by the Christmas lights of the little square we accidentally ended up in front if Tom’s Table. Absolutely wonderful little gem!!! Massive thank you to Kate and Tom for their hospitality!!! The quality of their food is outstanding. If you’re in town make sure you visit them! Independent , rustic family restaurant the way it should be. Very warm atmosphere and cuteness overload!! We sure will be back even if just for a day out…. Certainly d worth the journey even from London!!!

We had booked months in advance for my birthday after following their Instagram page for some time. We were really looking forward to our meal after seeing the posts. We really didn’t expect to be disappointed. Firstly no issue with the service. The place was cold to a point is was uncomfortable to sit in. Starters came we ordered soup and chicken wings. The soup was nice but the bread wasn’t toasted it was burnt which left a bitter taste. Wings fine. Main courses, we had sea bass and steak. Seabass skin wasn’t crispy so wasn’t edible, the broccoli lukewarm and the puree cold. For the price a you expect it to be perfect. When compared to other restaurants locally such as Wilfred’s for the price it does not compare. Such a shame. For almost £100 it didn’t feel value for money.

Simply Outstanding, the Cheese Soufflé was Devine, Kate and Marina were so lovely to us, Highly Recommend 😊
