The best restaurants in Heath Charnock and Rivington Chorley North West

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.

Nice looking and cosy inside on a chill ( cold) end of October day. #feels like 8° Checked beforehand and the web site says Dog Friendly! It’s not! You can sit outside in all weather on rotting wooden benches with your pooch if you want! No room inside anyway! Only stayed to finish drinks and left! If your only Dog Friendly outside you should say so.

This is an amazing café. So friendly. Really pleasant overall. Perfect for a coffee. Lovely atmosphere. Very nice workers.

I had my wedding at Rivington hall barn and it was absolutely amazing! Before I booked Rivington I had looked at over a dozen of wedding venues and Rivington was by far the most stunning and elegant venue I had seen, I fell in love instantly. Everything about Rivington is amazing! The venue, the food & most important the staff!! The staff at Rivington are so polite, friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We had a few dietary requirements with our meals and they catered for everyone whatever their needs were. They were always quick to reply with any queries and always made me feel reassured through the whole process leading up to the wedding and even on the wedding day which made the whole process less stressful and far more enjoyable. They went above and beyond for me, my husband and all our guest on our wedding day, they was so we’ll organised and provided the best services and we couldn’t have been more grateful for them and everything they did for us. All our guest were amazed with everything about it and also commented on how stunning the venue was, how amazing the food was and how amazing the staff was. We literally had the most magical day and memories we will cherish forever and a big part of that is because of Rivington and everyone that works there. I honestly couldn’t recommend Rivington enough, everything about it is amazing and you definitely won’t be disappointed if you booked them for your wedding venue.

This cafe is a nice stop off on our canal walks & is fine for the whole family. We took our granddaughter for lunch & even though they were short staffed, and very busy, the wait wasn’t unreasonable. Besides, I can think of worse places to spend my time. We had sandwiches which were lovely & fresh and toasties which were packed and also very tasty. Even with our drinks it was less than £20

Spending a night at teapi was such a good idea- my family and I had a blast enjoying wonderful food and cocktails will definitely be coming again!!

Great service and fantastic got chocolate at a reasonable price. The location is amazing and the Great House Barn offers a wonderful way to finish off a beautiful walk in a not to be missed area of Lancashire. I've been coming here since I was a child . A great place!

Didn't eat here, called in after the Santa walk " Jingle all the way " Staff and service great. I will go back. It's an old pub with lots of character.

Had the white bean soup and the pheasant bacon and chestnut cottage pie absolutely tremendous excellent food and service would go there again sorry no photos I would suggest booking in the peak season
