The best restaurants in Ribble Valley North West

No food as they don't serve it but the beer was as good as ever.

Beautiful place lost in time ! Great little wine shop on site and Fish Pie is a dream , great views of river and nice walk if you can manage after the fish pie

My partner and I stayed for 2 nights whilst visiting friends in the area. Judith, Alex and Phil could not have been more helpful and friendly. We have had a wonderful experience - thank you. As a result we are coming back for a further two nights in July.

Lovely hearty lunch in this old atmospheric old hotel & pub. Latge menu, decent well kept pint and good selection of local ales and fantastic service. Hopefully will visit around Christmas time to sample the Christmas lunch and maybe stay over.

Stayed one night with breakfast and evening meal. The Inn is located in a small village, it's quaint and picturesque and makes a good base for walkers and exploring the area. There isn't much to see in the immediate vicinity however. Room was in a converted outbuilding accessed from the car park. It has everything you would expect but a little lacking in top end detailing. All in all it was good but not in a way that exceeded expectations. The Inn has an evening and lunch menu with seasonal specials. It's clearly aimed more at the food trade rather than having a traditional pub vibe. The food, both main meal and breakfast, was excellent. Again, it's not a pub grub type offer but is more in the quality restaurant area in terms of pricing and menu. It lived up to that billing though and service was good throughout. Overall it's good at what it does, the room just didn't quite match the quality of the food and I'd probably have liked a bit more of a traditional pub feel.

Treat night out with friends, thanks to Ben and the guys working as hard as ever throughout the evening. It's worth booking a table for Fridays and Saturdays if you want to take advantage of the great tapas menu, although it is not necessary if just popping in for a drink. Always a great night out.

We love the Buck at paythorne, Excellent meals,good choice of menu,Rachel and Steve and there staff are so friendly and welcoming.Dog friendly, disabled toilets,roaring fire in winter.Friendly atmosphere.

They don't sell food, but do sell a range of good quality ales, beers, spirits etc with a smile in a good atmosphere.

We stayed B&B at Greendale as part of their evening meal package with La Locanda down the road in Gisburn (details on Greendale website). In my head, I'd got the Greendale down as a bit of a means to an end - somewhere to stay that was close to the excellent La Locanda. However, Greendale very quickly became an end. The Greendale gave us a spacious, comfortable, quiet, well-equipped room with a wonderful 180-degree panoramic view across the Ribble Valley. After a good night's sleep, we had a great breakfast of mashed avocado, egg topped with smoked bacon crumb and chives. Excellent range of tea and coffee. We then went for a great 5 mile walk straight out the door and returned to Greendale for a cup of tea and a piece of cake. And what a cake it was. There's some serious cake making going on here with their talented in-house chocolatier leading the charge. As this wasn't enough, the quality of the hospitality was outstanding. Bearing in mind we stayed over on a busy Mother’s Day when the clocks had gone forward (so they'd already lost an hour of prep time), all the staff were welcoming and helpful. Looking back, there was something life affirming about our stay at Greendale. In doesn't pretend to be a part of the crowded (and over-priced) Northern boutique hotel scene. Greendale does what it does on its own terms - outstanding food and hospitality at a very competitive price.

The standards are very high and on many visits very consistent, food cooked very well with a very good level of service ,would always highly recommend to anyone who hasn't popped in for a bite to eat to give it a try

ABSOLUTELY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! I ordered a takeaway for collection and the order was wrong when I got home, they’d charged an extra full meal instead of a sauce - I phoned as soon as I realised explaining they’d given us and charged for a meal to ask for a refund and was told I’d need to come back with the card and we agreed I would call the next day due to not living in Clitheroe. When I returned for a refund the lady asked me if I had brought the food back with me??? She refused to refund me because I hadn’t brought the food back that I didn’t order - why on earth I would bring back cold food from the night before is beyond me. I’d spent over £40 and some of the food I’d not ordered. Be wary!!! I will not be returning!!!!

Highly recommend, both times we've had lovely tapas and sangria! Service is always great!

Lovely place would certainly recommend.

Excellent selection of classic and niche wines
