Village Green Tea Room Rivington in Chorley

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

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

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 !

Great place gets busy dogs welcome.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

A lovely meal at a reasonable price

Christmas dinner during December is excellent . family run business with great food and prices lovely atmosphere all decorated and very festive always sold out each year . Great dog friendly place where muddy boots and dirty dogs are always welcome! The staff are super friendly and always serve great home cooked food. They sell dog sausages too for the furry friends which enjoy the sausage after a busy dirty walk. Jane and her gang have created a lovely atmosphere

We were in a party of 18. Everyone got there food served hot and together. The food was top quality, service excellent and very friendly, atmosphere superb. Well done to all at the Tea Rooms, we'll be back

We came as a group of 22 walkers / friends/ family . The food was delicious , all came out hot and together , we all had a fantastic time and would love to return again next year But think we’ll need to book early due to demand. Well done to all the lovely ladies who work there.

Excellent food and service here. Highly recommended ,had the same food at the Last Drop, and the tea rooms was far tastier

Fantastic Christmas Lunch. Lovely moist turkey, very nice gravy. Very good value.

Four of us attended for the three course Christmas meal on 11th December. The food was piping hot and extremely delicious, no waiting around - it was served in a timely manner. We all really enjoyed it - so much so my mum wants to go twice next year! The staff were extremely welcoming and polite. We would definitely recommend you pay them a visit. Such good value for money. Looking forward to going again next year

A very nice setting and very popular with the tea rooms booked up. Food was very nice,staff very friendly but it did get noisy and our pet was very unsettled.

We have just had their xmas 3 course lunch and it was delicious our 3rd year and we will definitely be back next year

Cozy and warm. Perfect on a cold day. Lovely coffee and the cheese. on toast was perfection

Treasure of Rivington village, food is exceptional, staff friendly, a lovely place to eat , lovely choices. Homemade cakes. Variety of warm meals . Definitely recommend.

Great place to stop for a bite to eat after a walk around Rivington

1st time there. Had capuchino and cake. Lovely. Good price

Dog friendly but no balance. Not everybody wants eat and drink surrounded by dogs. Shame

It was the Christmas Market when we went was really busy was great though staff were lovely

What an awesome place to visit. The thing that impressed me most, which you will see if you ever visit, are the staff. What a nicer bunch of people you couldn’t meet, and they love banter. Oh my word do they enjoy that. Go there, visit, spend lots of money on the awesome cakes.

A great place as ever, to stop off for snack or in my case breakfast . I usually go on a Saturday morning. They only open at 10am . But I wish they could open at 9am . But to get in their on a cold morning at a table near on of the two log burners with a hot coffee and full English breakfast, is a treat . A great dog friendly cafe . With frei fly staff and piping hot food , what more could you ask for on a cold Autumn morning.

A lovely place to come for a delicous Sunday breakfast . Our first time here , welcoming feel , and lovely food. We had 3 full English breakfast , 2 with enormous hot chocolates with cream and marshmallows and a pot of tea. Families with dogs are welcome to , a really lovely place to come with all the family . We will Definately be back 😀

Have visited a few times and can honestly see why this has been voted the best tearooms in the north west. The location is beautiful with plenty of walking trails to do on the doorstep. The tea rooms itself has plenty of seating both indoors and out and is decorated beautifully giving a very warm, homely feel to it. The staff are just lovely, can tell this is a family run business. The food is amazing! Whether its a bacon butty or a big slice of cake you fancy. The sticky toffee with custard is to die for. Everything homemade and cooked to order. Tea and coffee are good quality. The tearooms are also dog friendly and well behaved dogs are allowed inside the tearooms, perfect if you've had a nice walk with your pooch and fancy a hot drink for you and a bowl of water for them. Cannot recommend this place highly enough, just wonderful and long may they continue to serve the people of Bolton ❤️🌟❤️

Brunch, great service sat by the fire 🔥

Lovely afternoon tea totally recommend really friendly helpful staff, will be back for breakfasts and Christmas menu.

Good place to stop for a bite,either during or after walk or on a drive out. Food good and reasonably priced.

nie do konca rozumiem na podstawie jakich wytycznych to miejsce zostalo nominowane do nagrody dla najlepszej kawiarni 2023 Jedzenie bylo znosne ale tzw full inglisz to byla jakas biedna wersja (male kielbaski, gamon zamiast bekonu,tylko jedno jajko zamiast 2) ale za te cene do zakceptowania. Brak bylo keczupu i musztardy Czas oczekiwania to byl jakis zart (45min) rozumiem ze miejsce jest male ale bez przesady Oblsuga i klimat miejsca na + ale nigdy w zyciu bym tego miejsce nie nominawal do zadnej nagrody tj zwykly sredniak bez szału

Good food and drinks. Friendly service.

Very nice lunch at a very reasonable cost.

Called in today to find the place teaming with dogs. I know it is dog friendly, but I don't think it is fair to expect people to eat their food/drink in what is basically a large kennel. Wet smelly dogs should be kept outside. Today the people on the opposite table placed café crockery on the floor to let their dogs lick the plates clean! This isn't unusual. Why can't it be more people friendly than dog friendly?

A lovely afternoon tea, set in a quaint church building. Service was excellent from arrival to leaving.

I have been visiting the tearooms for decades now, it has a wonderful feel of britishness, it reminds me of the DADS ARMY hall durong ww2, it even has bunting up i love it! i wish more places like this exist.

Lively surroundings, food and a warm welcome.

Good place to stop for a bite to eat for dog walkers. It was mad busy, which was unusual for a Thursday.

Just had a 3 course xmas meal and it was absolutely superb. I had broccoli soup to start with that was the perfect answer to winter weather, very tasty too. And a mushroom pepper pot main course that was equally good and my better half had it as a starter. Mrs J then had vegetable gratin that was first class as were the vegetables Staff are friendly with service to match and the price was very reasonable

I have been here several times and it is always busy even though I was here very early. Staff are lovely but I do feel the food is a bit expensive otherwise I would have given a 5 star rating.

The food was lovely and reasonably priced , a really friendly place to visit, and some superb walks

Excellent food, with a good variety to choose from good friendly service, and value for money. Good atmosphere, definitely worth a visit.

I've been here a few times over the years (when it was the bowling green). Nice cafe atmosphere for hikers & runners

Lovely people is what makes this place worth visiting

Dog friendly, good food and coffee, fair price

Nice place and near Piegon Tower.

Love this place,everyone is so polite,food nice and very good value aswell

05/08/23 Visited with family. 6 Adults. When we arrived we found a table straight away. It was busy to be fair, when we ordered food we ordered and then after we paid said oh it’s a 30 minute wait for food. Maybe if we were told before we paid we may of changed our mind. So anyway we were now committed to wait. We actually saw other tables that ordered after us receive their food before us (before 30 minutes) We waited almost 50 minutes for our food. (Bacon / Sausage barms only) When the elderly gentleman waiter brought our food his manner was appalling. He proceeded to moan and complain that he was on his 11th day working in a row. (I’m not sure why we needed to know this information!) Quite frankly we wanted to eat and go at this point. 50 minutes waiting, rude staff, average sandwich. Disappointed first visit, won’t rush back. More staff clearly needed on the weekends!

Beautiful tea room, prices are excellent!

Excellent place for food and a chat, lovely surrounding and great value for money.

the staff are friendly very kind make u feel welcome and the food is amazing and the place is very tidy and clean .I love going their for my dinner or after lunch. and most of all the company u meet

First time and I loved it. Full of dogs, staff are warm and friendly and the food and cakes are a bargain

Ni e place to visit, good grub but parking hard to get to.

Just had thee most fab afternoon tea here For £11.95 the choice is so good. From quiche pork pie sausage roll sandwiches and a mini soup not to mention the cakes. Yum. Highly recommended, must book in advance though. Enjoy,your welcome. 😁

Had my first visit here this morning and was very happy with the whole experience. We had a full English and the veggie version and both thoroughly enjoyed the food. The full plate arrived quicker than expected and had been properly warmed through which meant the eggs didn't go cold quickly, like they can. There was fried bread, which I wasn't sure I would eat, but it was great. Perfectly done and not too greasy. I had a mug of orange juice instead of the tea/coffee which was a generous amount. And all that for £13 for us both! Looking forward to going again. Thank you.

Love this place. The breakfast was very well prepared and the portions generous. I will definitely be visiting again.

Dogs are welcome. Staff very friendly, potions can be altered. Parking is difficult.

I asked for bacon cooked Well done. At first, it seemed alright, but there was 2 or 3 slices of bacon stuck together, and the ones at the bottom was raw. And the fried brief was very soggy.

It was a fantastic day i would recommend it for there afternoon tea but you must book

A lovely place to visit. Fresh homemade food. Very reasonable prices. Friendly staff who are very happy to help you. Wonderful choice of cakes. A dog friendly place which is so nice to see. Fantastic value for money. I would definitely recommend a visit here for all of the family.

Called here after a 7 mile walk, wanted quiche but sold out got tuna sandwich, it came toasted with hardly any salad, wouldn't be enough for a small child. Had a cappuccino had to take it back it was too milky, only thing I enjoyed was the vegan lemon cake, wished we had gone somewhere else

Reasonably priced. Caters for dog walkers, back packers,cyclists and motorists !! Limited parking.Difficult access for disabled.

Really friendly cafe in a lovely setting. Plenty of food options, good coffees and cakes. Dogs allowed. Can't fault it.

Despite rainy day, food and ambience superb

Great place for food nice place log burners did it for me reasonably price food good place to go forbreakfaston a Sunday morning

Excellent home made food in a quirky old chapel

Wonderful cafe and restaurant, food is always fresh and piping hot, highly recommend to anyone in the Rivington area. Staff are very friendly and helpful . Dog ,bike,walker,hiking friendly too . Highly recommend 👍😎

Beautiful place, food served hot and very well cooked, delicious. Prices are brilliant, and the staff are so helpful, easy going, and make you feel welcome. Dog friendly too which I loved! Outside seating area lovely too, bonus on the scenery. Very tranquil, and recommended highly

Brilliant food and friendly staff, breakfast is a must have.

Proper nice food and staff an absolute delight

Think I may have found my new favourite food place: - Dog Friendly - Great Prices - One of the best Stick Toffee Puds I've had!

On a wet Bank Holiday Monday feeling bored we remembered an advert abut this little café. Venturing into the damp wet Lancashire countryside we found the venue and parked tentatively outside, ensuring the restricted width of the lane was sufficient. It was. We entered the room to be confronted by a mini Crufts, but all good natured. Finding a seat further inside we were impressed by the menu and the busy service from the staff. Not a frown or sulk at all and all were pleasant and polite. We ordered a pot of tea for two, before I chose the minced beef and onion pie with chips (when in Lancashire etc...) while my wife has a quiche and salad. Both meals arrived within 10/15 minutes which considering the activity of being a busy café, was fantastic. The hall is a throw back to its former religious purpose but there is loads of potential to tastefully and in context revamp certain aspects, the main one being the outside loo which on a rainy April day, was rather cold. Still, needs must!. I have no quibbles about recommended this café to others. It is fantastic.

An absolute gem of a place. We will be back.

A perfect cafe and safe for the environment Enjoy M

Worth a visit if you are in or around rivington Village.
