Withy Arms in South Ribble

Had a lovely evening in the Withy. The Mixed Grill Special was brilliant. The Brie Wedges special need to be a permanent fixture!

Tea time local...We have eaten here on several occasions in the last few years and are happy to recommend the food as its really so delicious offering the usual pub favourites as well as regular food special events. It's a small 'no fuss' local with customers of all ages. The chef works hard and the food is always full of flavour...we particularly enjoy the Sunday roast. The meat is always perfectly cooked and gravy to die for 😋. The service is friendly and very helpful and if you nip in when it's chilly the log fire sets a really cosy atmosphere. They also have a good choice of beers at great prices as well as having some drinks offers. If you've driven or walked passed on many occasions then next time give it a go - you won't be disappointed in the food 👍🏻

Amazing, honestly. Pizza & loaded fries better than we've had anywhere else. Value for money& so friendly. *****

Recently visited here with family and everything about our visit was fantastic. The food was lovely, the atmosphere is great, staff were super friendly and prices are reasonable. Would highly reccomend here to anyone looking for food or drinks, we will be visiting again in the future.

Lovely well conditioned cask ale enjoyed in a sunny beer garden 😀

I went to this pub last week with my family. The place was spotless and the staff greeted us warmly. The food was amazing - classic homemade pub grub that we devoured completely. They even have a nice beer garden out back with lots of seating. Definitely a top-notch pub! I'll definitely be coming back.

Highly recommend Withy arms whether it be for food and drinks or just one or the other. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Food is incredible. Looks and tastes amazing! The seating areas and tables are kept clean and tidy, presentation overall is excellent. Will be visiting again!

We visited last week, on entry we were pleasantly greeted by the new manager who showed us to our table. The food was fantastic value for money at under £30 for a table full of delicious home cooked food. The menu is extensive and has something for everybody’s taste. We are looking forward to our return visit. A lovely local with welcoming staff and delicious food. What’s not to love!

Had some amazing chip and bar staff where very friendly can’t wait to go back from my next visit

Stumbled across this pub on our way home to Wales, What a brilliant atmosphere all the staff made us feel very welcome and to top it off the food was amazing , I would recommend the gammon egg and chips ,I will be visiting again when next in the area.

If you want to go for food and drinks this is the best place to be.. service & food is quality also experience is one of kind! Was served by the manger Chris who was more than helpful and I will always come back here, no other place compares! 10/10.

Excellent atmosphere and lovely food ,really enjoyed will be back .

Good selection of well kept cask ales. Still reasonable priced

Been locals for some time. Definitely a great pub. Bar staff are great, like being out with friends. Food is excellent, thank you Mark. Thanks to Chris for making us feel like family. If you are tired of sport's bars and want a family friendly place - go to the Withy Arms. ❤

Nice quiet atmosphere, good service good choice of beers and shorts

Amazing service from Jen and Jess! And amazing food too, lovely half chicken roast!!

No food Monday Tuesday good range of real Ale

This review is specifically for Jen, what ann amazing quiz night. Where do I even begin, Jen made the atmosphere sparkle without doubt, jen is a warm hearted, bubbly, cheeky bar maid. Jen is an incredible member to the WA crew and I strongly advise that she remains her role as quiz master😊 Thank you to Evan and Tommy for the excellent service as always. Great job guys!!

I’d always assumed this was a Micropub of some sort - actually a fairly large pub with a good selection of food and drink. Visited Saturday evening. Not as busy as previous pubs and had a table free for food. Great menu, with sharing platters and pizzas. Had mozzarella sticks, halloumi fries and chicken strips - the holy trinity being appropriate for Easter time. All hot and tasty. Wanted sticky toffee pudding, but didn’t have the time. The beer was San Miguel. Spanish beer brewed in Northampton. Northampton is very dull; thankfully that doesn’t affect this beer. Only the one gaming machine - one of the old mechanical ones with lots of pictures of Noel Edmonds on it. I don’t understand those at all, so stayed clear. Is Noel Edmonds still a thing? 🤔 Overall decent. Will return and try the pizza. 🍕

Friendly staff, nice real fire..Good food fAb

Had a roast dinner at the withy arms tonight and the lamb melted in my mouth. Plenty of gravy with a jug for extras. Even the veg was tasty. Made sure I saved room for the sticky toffee pudding which was delicious. The staff are great and very engaging. Lovely atmosphere and great music.

I've always had a pleasant time whether it's having a meal with friends or family or just enjoying a drink. Food is great N staff was very pleasant N made me feel welcomed n accepted my mobility scooter. Highly recommended 😆👍

Great local pub with great choices.

Walked in, got served almost immediately with a couple of cask beers a nice lager and a fruity cider, all in excellent condition. Made to feel welcome by some regular visitors. All in all a good experience.

Enjoyable food. Lovely pub Tremendous.

A lovely warm atmosphere. Excellent table service. Highly recommend

13/12/23 Lovely spontaneous evening. Great Christmas decor and atmosphere and great food as ever. Jen's service was first class and so polite and welcoming -thanks a million

Came in to try the new cocktails, Kieran smashed it. The chocolate orange martini & zombie were 11/10. Nowhere around the area to get cocktails! Great price to!!!

Nice and calm with a touch of old school

Very good local at great prices a lot cheaper than iam use to down south

The beer was very well keeped and the food that was coming out of the kitchen looked fantastic

Lovely, welcoming staff. Great food. Never been before but will certainly go again.

Great place to enjoy a pint or a bite to eat.

Needs a bit of TLC. But did the job as a local pub

Lovely food & drinks for a Sunday. Always a lovely welcome as well.

The food at the withy arms is absolutely amazing! I have never had a bad meal especially since Zoe became the manager! And she is an absolutely amazing manager and makes the place a fantastic place to go for a night out! Zoe is a fantastic manager and is fantastic with her staff and they have grown in confidence and they are amazing with all their customers!

Sorry but Not for me ! Found the pub to be quite dark and lacking in the homely feeling.

Brilliant find. Cheap cask ale and perfect customer service.

Stopped off for a couple after football on the way home

Lovely pub, great food & friendly staff 👍😊

Good friendly pub. All the staff are welcoming, the food is good and we can bring the dog. He also get a warm welcome and provided with a bowl of water .

Most amazing place in the world. Feels like home and the staff (Jack Evan and jen) are absolutely incredible and make the atmosphere relaxing friendly and amazing. Always have the best time 🥰

Jack and Jen were both absolutely lovely and made the atmosphere with both the banter we could have with them and the jokes they had with each other!! They actually brought the drinks outside to us which was lovely and made the place feel really welcoming and a fab atmosphere for chilling in the beer garden on a Friday night!

Great service and food as usual. Although it was midweek due to the sun it was much busier. Evan and Mark did a great job of serving everyone.

First meal out in a while and it was wonderful!! Fresh, hot, tasty!! And didn't have to wait too long either! We will definitely be back

Very friendly service from Jack behind the bar, very reasonably priced drinks and a nicely decorated pub. Recommended!

Jack, Tash, Tom, Evan, Jen and Kitchen staff are all amazing. Would definitely come back often.

Good choice of ales at a very good price

Service, Food and drinks are always top notch here. Fully recommend a visit here.

Beer prices are not bad at all!

Ok. Where to start. Booking - straight forward over the phone. Order on the app. Straight forward. Starters arrive - wings are good. Garlic bread could do with having garlic on it, important ingredient! Mains - initially delivered to another table - no communication of this. Resulted in an hour and fifteen minutes wait. Food ok. Deserts - ordered sticky toffee pudding. Was asked if we had ordered? Odd. What arrived was a very (microwaved) dry treacle sponge with custard. Drinks flowed - bar staff nice enough but completely disorganised and don’t seem to have a clue what’s going on. Fair to say this will be our last visit and can’t say that I would recommend anybody goes.

Fabulous pub, great selection of real ales and very reasonable prices! Big shout out to Jen, friendly and helpful!

Visited before and not disappointed this time , great beer selection.

Nice respectable pub! One of the best in Brig

Fantastic service went above and beyond to service my gluten free needs even when out of their way to get me gf beer to complement my choice of food, we all had a fantastic meal service 100% definitely recommend 👍😁

Great service food and beer what more do you need

Great food lovely staff the pub just needs a deep clean ☺️

Friendly, attentive staff. Excellent fish & chips. Portions are so huge we couldn't find room for dessert, again!

I love the Withys, its my second home, my dog loves it to.Great food, great beer, great people, its a no brainer realy.

Very clean nice and clean inside, friendly staff, excellent pint of IPA, can't comment on food as they where not serving, was very cosy by the log fire

Stopped here for a pint on the way too a match .

Fantastic staff, warm welcome, clean, great atmosphere n great food, the section of reasonably priced hand pulled beer was a bonus, well worth a visit

Lovely local bar Staff are very welcoming and friendly. I ordered the cottage pie off the special and can honestly say it was one of the best home made cottage pies I have had. Would definitely recommend stopping by for tea/lunch. Very good prices as well!

Food ok - bog standard . Says dogs welcome but doesn’t cater for families, no high chairs , no baby changing facilities , no one came to ask if our meal was ok, no one said bye to us when we left, perfect pub to drink with friends but not a family friendly place , wouldn’t go back

Good pub with nice ales on offer and decent staff.

Decent pub, barstaff are friendly

lovely staff, Fab food reasonably priced

Thankyou for your hospitality on 17 september all our people from Sheffield appreciated the food and beers

Good food and drink pleasant staff.

Bank Holiday week end only had one bar staff on felt sorry for the lad worked hard trying to serve everyone hats off to you pal

The staff were very professional and efficient, I was very impressed with their consideration e.g gave my dog a water bowl to drink from. The focus on cleaning tables as soon as customers left was reassuring and impressive. Food as always was yummy and presentation excellent.

Was in with my mum and dad, who ordered food, and they both enjoyed their food. Bar staff were friendly and attentive

Nice place, friendly staff, but not as good as it was. Beer lacking in flavour and atmosphere a bit flatter

Great find. Friendly atmosphere. Good service. Food looks excellent, will definitely try on a future visit 😀

Excellent service. Great food. Very efficient and friendly staff

Amazing food & lovely, friendly staff!

I suffered a recent finger amputation which made life difficult. If it wasn't for these guys feeding me and my kids then I think I might have starved. Staff where really helpful and it's a lovely relaxed environmental. Well done to these guys. Food is also amaze.

Excellent pub staff very friendly visited many times with the girlfriend highly recommended beer prices are excellent

Withy arms. Dad booked table sunday for half five. Got there no tables, rammed packed, no masks. Very disappointed.

As frequent users of this establishment & have eaten regularly without fault we are very disappointed in tonight’s meal. The food was cold & the potion of vegetable was quite shocking & the lack of concern by the staff & management was very disappointing. Only down to my persistence the manager did reimburse the meal but I still felt quite aggrieved due to his lack of concern. I would still eat at this establishment because 1 disappointed meal outways the service we normally get.

Mark the chef is the best in the area

Absolutely spot on. Roast lamb dinner couldn't fault it

Service and atmosphere good but a poor selection of Ale.

Absolute shambles the staff don't know what they are doing a table of 4 2 got meals and 2 didn't even though we ordered at the same time won't be going back as it's the second time it's happened

Beer is great and at a decent price. Sadly food was disappointing. Was very quiet and the order was still wrong.

Friendly and helpful staff, reasonably priced, generally good atmosphere, good looks good although yet to try it. Good outside area

Food absolutely fantastic excellent service nothing to much trouble great experience staff fantastic

The Withy Arms is a nice pub but the only criticism is that the white wine is never served cold enough. Its not enough putting the bottle in an ice bucket if the wine is too warm to start with. This does not work.PLEASE ensure that your refridgerated storage area is cold enough to start with.A small but very important thing. Warm white wine is horrible.

Brilliant food and service Very helpful amazing staff

Went to the Withy Arms on a night out with family. We had a couple of drinks and a bite to eat, the food was delicious. We then decided to try other establishments in Bamber Bridge, this was a big mistake. We quickly returned to the Withy Arms and continued with our night out. There was a good atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Better experience when you can order at the bar, not enough staff for customers.

Great atmosphere reasonable prices great night out

Lovely food, outside Lovely, very happy 😊

Food looks amazing, not actually had a proper meal yet. Fab outdoor space

Went to try out the roast dinners as the last time we have been was in October 2018 when we moved to the area. Hannah was great on arrival, very efficiently sorted us out and showed us to the booth. The roast dinner was great, very good quality for the price you pay, £22 for two generous roasts and two pints. Rowdy behaviour was dealt with as best as possible by hannah as the football had been on, shame the other guests didn't have any respect for the staff. Keep doing what you're doing, it was a lovely experience, not a great dent on the wallet and we will definitely come back and try some more food:)

Nice staff and lots of clean tables. Veggie options a bit limited

I arrived for drinks to be greeted by Zahra the barmaid insulting my personal appearance. Extremely rude. I made it very clear to the other bar staff that I did not want her serving my table again. After she kept ignoring that request and coming over, I spotted the owner leaving and told him what she had done and how disgusted I was. After reassurances it would be resolved I went back to my table. She came back to my table again and I told her to leave and that I had spoken to the owner. 5 minutes later the manager came and asked me to leave. He insulted me further by calling me a bully to Zahra by telling her I had reported her to the owner, and also disrespectful for going over his head to the owner. Absolutely shocking behaviour!

I love visiting this pub, the food is delicious. I absolutely loved having a Christmas dinner in May, an excellent idea. The staff were friendly and professional as always.

Refused entry cause of urban wear dresscode, yet I noticed people where already welcome in there sporting Nike and lacoste lol. Why would I dress like I'm going to the ritz just to go in there. It's nothing special just a pub lol never herd anything like it. This place just gives the impression it is very cliquey and rules only apply to unknown faces. Went to yew tree instead where the food was lovely and the staff where very welcoming to gym fanatics lol.

Top place in all departments! Lovely outdoor seating, proper experience. Some of the best pub food I’ve had.
