The best restaurants in Ribchester Ribble Valley North West

If you're a member of a walking group, or just out walking in the vicinity of Hurst Green or Stoneyhurst College, this place is a gem of a find just minutes away at the Gardens at Stydd. They provide super coffee and cakes, plus more if you wish, in comfortable, warm surroundings. The staff are very friendly and super efficient and it was an absolute pleasure to find it. (The Victoria Sponge was in my top three Victoria Sponges, and believe you me, I've eaten many over the years!) I could not recommend this establishment highly enough and will definitely come here again.

We enjoyed a fantastic meal here. The food was exceptional. Of particular note were the veloute and blade of beef but everything was delicious. Service was professional and welcoming. We would definitely return when in the area.

Ordered the "sirloin and brisket" Sunday roast as it sounded amazing. It was just slices of roast beef. The quality was good, however it was 20 quid for a two slices of carrot, two bits of broccoli, a beetroot, a scoop of mash and a Yorkshire pudding. Be warned that the veggie roast is as above, without the meat, for the same price!

The best food and always perfect

I had the sweet potato and chilli soup. Not particularly hot spicey but absolutely delicious served with fresh whole meal bread couldnt faulr it and highly recommend.

As a visiting publican I can honestly say that Iain and Jo really care for their pub. Good selection of drinks and lovely atmosphere. Although a pub for locals it's really well worth a visit.

I ordered the crispy lamb salad which was well presented on lettuce but it was burnt. I was asked how was my food and said that the lamb was burnt and I couldn’t eat it. The waitress said that she would tell the chef. Nothing happened. It was three very expensive burnt mouthfuls for £21.
