Village Green Tea Room Rivington in Chorley

What an absolutely brilliant cafe. In the beautiful setting of Rivingron. The Breakfast is amazing and very reasonable in price. I can t believe anyone would rate the cafe lower than 4, noting it has won awards for how great it is. Any bad reviews are malicious.

After a walk I always look forward to visiting the tea rooms friendly staff good choice of food and drinks and dogs are welcome

Lovely food, great coffee, superb staff

In this old church they have created the food heaven. Wonderful food. Wonderful, friendly ladies. Thank you.

Lovely place. Food is always really hot. Great value. Can be a little noisy at times with 'yappy' dogs, but totally expected for location. Scones are to die for! One of my favourite local places. Better to sit near the back so you don't feel the cold if the door is open.

Lovely atmosphere loved the old vibe to it and the food was also special. They had a wonderful arrangement of cakes and the soup of the day was delicious. Very kid friendly, would definitely recommend

Homely and friendly with real fires n dogs welcome x reasonably priced for home made food

Visited yesterday on Halloween. Very busy but staff accomadating as usual. Always happy with the service, friendliness of staff, homemade food and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended.

The tables are a bit squashed together . The lady serving was brusk and not pleasant at all . The remaining staff seemed better . Disappointed overall.

Our favourite place, lovely cafe with great food and home made cakes,very good value and dog friendly. It's our dogs favourite place as you can buy sausages for your dog! But the best thing about this place is the lovely staff and owner, always so friendly and welcoming.

Lovely home cooked food and very reasonably priced.

Great little cafe with lovely food.

Big spacious cafe. Good value straightforward food.

Lovely food & sensible prices. Highly recommended.

A quirky café operating in what was once the galleried village hall of Rivington. The service is friendly and the food is just the good no-nonsense refreshment needed when on a country walk.

Perfect hideaway & hot food after a walk round the village.

The tea room is very popular and can get very busy our pet Max loves it there because he gets a free sausage 😉

Lovely food from really nice staff.

A great little gem hidden in rivington home made food and really good cream cakes

Amazing place, my favorite to go to for Sunday breakfast after a nice stroll around Rivington!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great all day breakfast.

Called in because spring cottage was closed! Ordered a cappuccino and bacon on toast Coffee like dishwater and burnt and bacon on toast was tasteless and I left most of it because I will eat something nice later instead…… Not even served nicely just on a plate uncut and so unappealing

Superb find. Was looking for a nice place to take my wife for afternoon tea as it was our anniversary. With a well deserved top rated place we chose the village tea room. First a lovely setting. I found out at the counter that afternoon tea should be booked in advance. With quality people serving they quickly agreed that they could make up a slight variation with the items that were available. Beautifully presented The HAM hock and pea soup was delicious and yes I shouted HAM as there was so much in. The variation was a very tasty pasty Again, full of meat and with great tasting gravy. The sandwiches were your usual compliment cheese, ham and tuna. Our scones were lovely and the cakes so sweet and delicious. Top marks all round

This has become a little regular for us, we always enjoy the Tea Room. A great place to visit before, during, or after a nice walk around the local area, the food is brilliant and the service is always great too.

The Village Green Tea Room in Rivington is such a lovely spot! With plenty of tables and chairs both inside and outside, it's the perfect place to relax, especially on a sunny day. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, greeting you with a smile, and the atmosphere has a warm, inviting feel. It's also dog-friendly, so there are always adorable pups around to pet. In the winter, you can cozy up by the real fire, adding to the charm. I love that they display beautiful artwork for sale by local artists, making every visit a bit of a gallery experience. The food is reasonably priced, and their homemade cheese and onion pie is absolutely delicious—one of my all-time favorites!

Lovely place however food greasy

Lovely staff, very good food at a reasonable price. Very clean and tidy with excellent service

Went for breakfast on Sunday, with my family as we do everytime they visit. We have really enjoyed it in the past but the last couple of times it hasn't been great. This Sunday we were served undercooked bacon and eggs which was very disappointing. We are now looking for somewhere else to eat for our family breakfasts. Very sad about it as its set in a lovely area and in the past was wonderful and a real treat.

Four of us and our dog visited on Sunday 25th August. We had a variety of meals between us including a breakfast, toasties, sandwiches, soup & a sausage for our dog. We had to resist the tempting looking cakes, maybe on another day? All served hot, fresh and tasty by friendly staff who are under immense pressure as they are only a small team and the tea room was very busy. Very good value for money both in quality and quantity.

Went here with family on Monday breakfast and pies are amazing plates nice and hot which we love cakes are amazing to loads of choice love this place

Very disappointing visit on Sunday. The "cooked" breakfast was awful, items either burnt or very undercooked. The tea room has been our go to place on our visits to the area for a couple of years now but recently there has been a decline in the quality of the food. We are really sad about this. It seems like they are more focused on quantity rather than quality. 😪

Lovely friendly staff. Great value for money well worth a visit

Friendly service, tea room in a popular settin. Homemade food selection at reasonable prices.

Good home made food. Excellent cakes 🎂🤤

I have eaten here with a friend on several occasions and have really enjoyed it every time. It's situated in an old chapel building in a picturesque rural setting. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is very good and you don't have to wait long even when it is busy. I recommend it.

At my age I am not really a walker up Rivington Pike, I live 30 miles away, but after a recommendation from my cousin last week we went on a jollie and tried out the Tea Rooms today. We loved it, set in an old school house next to a very old chapel with graveyard. We both had the Full English, what great value and a pot of tea for two included. the staff on the till were so friendly to have a chat about the location and surrounding areas. Would we go again, why not, we loved it. My only slight opinion and I would not call it a negative, are the sausages just need a small upgrade, even if it means a slight price increase. If I could, I would give you 6 out of 5 stars.

Stopped off here on a bike ride and was pleasantly surprised by the lovely service, great building and fantabulus food ...thanks 👍

Excellent food freshly made to order, friendly staff and a nice location to relax and eat. Prices are very reasonable and cheaper than I was expecting especially for the quality of the food and portion sizes. Food was also served quickly. Glad I found this place and will definitely be going again.

Drove past the tea room for years and never went in until recently. Good food at reasonable price

Good food at good prices. Very scenic area.

Excellent menu, excellent food and reasonably priced. Very friendly service and a great atmosphere.

Full breakfast is fab and so are the cakes, you can also take your dog in with you. Staff friendly.

This is a BEAUTIFUL HIDDEN GEM of a place. Had food there and all the staff were awesome. The food to tasty and brilliant price, for the location I expected to pay more. Me and my partner really want to eat here again soon. D

What an absolutely beautiful setting, well worth a visit, the food is good, the atmosphere is friendly and the building is just beautiful , parking isn't brilliant so be prepared to walk but it's well worth it!!!!!

Great place to stop for a bite to eat after a walk around Rivington. Good choice on menu , lovely variety of homemade cakes, staff so friendly, great place and lovely atmosphere

Lovely cakes, coffee and tea on a sunny afternoon. Staff were very friendly.

Best breakfast in Bolton/horwich. Lovely outdoor seating area, and its dog friendly so huge bonus

Cheese and onion toasties was tasty and cappuccino was hot

Affordable. Homely. Cosy. Rivington"s sweet open secret. Hikers or bikers Mecca. Clean toilets. Beautiful garden and indoor as well as outdoor seating. Don't pass it by.

Friendly staff and a lovely breakfast after a walk round Rivington.

Excellent food, Excellent service, just Excellent. You need to go!!!

Great little tea room and food was lovely and friendly staff

This is a lovely cafe. Great food, quick service and very accommodating. As a wheelchair user it isn’t very often I am not made to feel like a nuisance but I truly felt like I wasn’t a bother for once. I will say though that if you’re a solo wheelchair user I wouldn’t recommend as there’s a big wobbly uphill path to get in and a big step to get around back. The toilets are also outdoor and there isn’t an accessible one. Very good place for a breakfast, we will be back!

Such a lovely spot! Absolutely fantastic food, so delicious and good value for money. Lovely staff and very fast service. Will 100% be returning

The best place in Rivington. Lovely food, great prices and staff are really nice. They are really dog friendly as well.

Great food well priced. Friendly staff.

Good, inexpensive food. No messing. Friendly staff and good service. Can't fault it.

A nice church converted into a cafe. A good location in Rivington to stop over. The staff were friendly and the service was good. We just stopped over for a coffee break but there was a good variety of other food items. The atmosphere was clean, not my ideal type, it felt a bit like I was in a school dinner hall 🤓. However I'd go again if I was in the area as service was good 😊

Had breakfast here with friends, will definitely return, cracking breakfast

Great Cafe with lot's of choice, Would definitely Recommend........

It's all getting a bit too much for them recently, everything has gone worse.

Lovely building.very busy.friendly.helpful staff

Really lovely full English breakfast with great coffe. The place is lovely and the staff very friendly. The cakes looked amazing too. Great value for money. Would definitely recommend!

Nice, well priced food. Dogs welcome.

Absolutely amazing well deserved of the 5 stars we gave.

Lovely place, lovely staff, great prices, amazing location.

Staff were friendly, polite, and efficient. Had a lovely Americano. There was plenty of local artwork on display with the option to buy if wanted to

Lovely traditional style tea-room, in a wonderful setting. Food is decent and really good value, however there maybe a wait at busy times

My absolute favourite place ever. Food delicious, hot and freshly made. Can take my dogs so that's a bonus. Best pie and cakes anywhere!!! My daughter's wanted to take me out for mother's day lunch, where ? Here. Thank you. X

Stopped here many times on our walks and loved it every time, great food, really good prices and a brilliant area, no wonder it was voted the best tea rooms.

Lovely full English and the staff are great

Lovely afternoon tea for 4.. plus lots of delicious food arriving at tables nearby, very busy but staff really friendly and helpful...

Lovely pea soup and turkey n stuffing roll. Great friendly service

Great place gets busy dogs welcome.

Delicious food on lovely piping hot plates ~what a delight! We had chips, mushy peas, with the most delicious tasty cheese and onion pie, gravy, with a pot of tea all for 17.50 for two people. It was our 46th wedding anniversary and to be honest the best meal out we have had in ages. Generous portion and hot !

Nice venue, clean, welcoming and very reasonable prices

Lovely place to eat, great food, great service and roaring log fires are a bonus, recommended

Very nice. Staff lovely. Comfortable and pleasant. Food is very nice.

Good food, good environment, friendly staff.

Great value! Cheerful and warm with the real fires dotted about. Without any pretention whatsoever. Basic brunch/lunch cafe. It gets very busy at weekends, but tables can be reserved. It is dog friendly and very popular with dog walkers - if you don't like dogs, this probably isn't the best place for you! If you want fancier, Great House Barn down the road will suit you, but personally, I prefer it here and not spending a fortune. Neither have fantastic toilet facilities, but they do the job.

What a lovely cafe. Excellent food and a great atmosphere. Will definitely go again 🙂

A great value little community run cafe with a little stall where you can buy reasonably priced hand made crafts.

It's the first time I've been, excellent food and so friendly dog friendly too

A brilliant place before or after a walk. Food is always good and very good value. The ladies look after you really well. Two warm fires are perfect on a cold day. Well behaved dogs welcome. We don't have a dog but never any issues. Sometimes when all the family go , 15 of us, we reserve a table and pre order our food and pay a small deposit. Well worth a visit

Called in for breakfast with a friend. Was fortunate to get a free table, as a number were reserved. They have this bizarre system where, fir instance, if a table is reserved from say 12.00 midday, no one can use it before then. This restricts the ability to get a table but also doesn't make good business sense.

Very friendly local family run cafe. Also good value alternative to main Rivington barn cafes.

Excellent little cafe, cakes lovelly, great vibe

Unbelievable value for money, food is very good! Atmosphere is beautiful and warm, staff are very friendly. Dogs are very welcome too.

Very busy 12pm midweek. Good food. Doggy friendly

Great little country tea room, very reasonable and delicious food. Dog friendly too

Lovely atmosphere and food nice and fresh Highly recommend 👌

I love this place,it's my go to cafe when at Rivington. Always busy and great staff. Food all cooked fresh and always good. I had really nice cheese on toast with two rashers of bacon. It was excellent and really cheap.. superb cafe

Wow...come a few times a week and today had the lemon and blueberry and white chocolate cake....it was amazing my fave up to now...

Great food a good brew after a lovley walk around rivington with very friendly staff service with a smile😁

So where to start we booked in for a 11am afternoon tea. Was confirmed by them. So we arrive around 10.45am let them know we are here by name they tell us we have a table. We sit down thinking they will come over. 15 mins nothing so we go to counter ask for our drinks with the afternoon tea. They have no idea what we talking about said they only do it from 12pm. So they say OK Won't be long. They came out with the food on our tiny table. We had 1 quarters of 3 sandwiches each. (Where did the last quarter go) 3 little triangles each. 2 scones 3 slices of cake. 2 small pasties cut into 3. Not enough for the price we paid. Looking around the place is dirty. The numbers on the table was covered in food. Table covers sticky and crockery seen better days. We paid 35.90 for 2 adults and a child. For not even a full sandwich each. Did call and pointed out we had been over charged was told a refund would be done in the evening never arrived. Won't use again better afternoon teas around for price..

A little gem of a place in Rivington. A converted church into tea room with plenty of seating inside and outside. A great stop off place for cyclists who can leave your bike round the side whilst you enjoy sitting in the sun. Lots of homemade cakes and simple cafe type food ie. Toast, tea cakes, beans, eggs and even a full vegetarian breakfast for just £6.50.

A busy tea room in a converted church in Rivington. I've been coming here for years and it's one of the best places for value for money. We had a delicious vegetarian breakfast of; 2 veggie sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, fried bread, 2 fried eggs, 2 slices of toast & butter and a cup of tea or coffee all for £6.50. Lots of seating inside and some outside for nice sunny day's. A favourite stop for cyclists and walkers. Also allows dog's inside. Local artists work on display inside. Oh I must also mention the wonderful homemade cakes, delicious with a cup of tea or coffee.

Really pleasant cafe. Perfect for a cake and drink when riding or walking around Rivington. Can get busy. But really good value.

For some reason everything nearby was closed and we needed a stop on our walk. By pure (and lucky) chance, we noticed this and tried it. Very nice food, excellent and friendly service, dogs allowed in, and a wonderfully atmospheric building. We'll be back next time we walk round here.

Excellent food, great value, v dog friendly. A hidden gem
