The best restaurants in Whalley Ribble Valley North West

Recently moved to the area and often walk the dogs at Spring Wood. Went today in this glorious weather and after the walk had lunch courtesy of the fantastic "What the fork" food van. After battling over the choices on the menu we both settled for the Donner Wrap...... A strange choice you may assume give. We weren't full of 8 pints of wobbly juice before hand but please ....trust me. The Donner Wrap was absolutely fantastic! Easily the best "takeaway/ streetfood" I have had in a looooong time. REAL Turkish beef and chicken dinner crammed & served in a burrito style toasted wrap with a beautifully refreshing diced salsa with tomato, pomegranate, onion, which acted as flavour enhancement rather than the usual "filler" from most places. The service was fantastic and had great conversation with friendly, normal people.....which makes a change from the normal entitled business people that usually undertake these sorts of businesses. Clearly passionate about what they do and care about given a customer good food. There is so much potential for this place ...I can imagine lights up in summer evenings and holding BBQ styles evenings ...or taster evenings, could be incredible. Anyway enough of my rambling, needless to say I was impressed and will be back at least weekly. All the best Guys you have a hit. PS Maverick and Rooster say the sausages are spectacular.

Lovely spot here, delicious food and very much enjoyed the outdoor area :) Thank you, will definitely be coming back again

Modern, bright, spotlessly clean cafe with very friendly staff. The varied menu meant that even as a vegetarian I was really spoilt for choice, but I opted for the vegetarian ploughman’s lunch which featured three varieties of cheese, a veggie sausage roll and a large cheese scone, accompanied by coleslaw, pickled red cabbage, chutney, and salad. Everything was fresh, homemade and tasted delicious. The others with me had thickly-filled sandwiches made with white fluffy bread and a side order of chips. We will be returning on our next trip to Whalley to try the fantastic looking cakes.

My partner and I stumbled upon this place on the way back from an overnight stay at the Forest of Bowland when we decided to stop off for something to eat on our way home. All I can say about this place is that they served me the best food I have ever eaten. I had the French Onion Soup to start, the Chicken Supreme for main and the Creme Brulee to finish. My goodness. It just got better and better with each bite. The staff were very helpful and professional and the service was prompt and efficient. I'm so glad we found this little gem. We are already planning our next visit.

Lovely and lively venue in Whalley. Will be visiting again.

I love these place to have a great sandwich, toastie or a wrap. They have other options, good hot drinks and a very good price.

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

Excellent selection of classic and niche wines

Food was delicious and the cocktails were lovely. Would go again. I'd recommend the spiced raspberry mojito.

Dirty dancing bottomless brunch. Brill entertainment, super quick with the drinks, but the food is poor but this didn't put us off as you're kinda paying paying for the drink

Closed down, don't waste your time going. This business is no longer trading, it's a shame because it looks lovely. The abbey is still open but not the café

Had lunch with a friend. I ordered a ploughman's lunch and it was delicious.... absolutely enormous too. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.

Absolutely delicious food. Very busy, so reservations recommended

Friendly staff. Great coffee and amazing food. Highly recommend if you’re passing

No food mondays and tuesdays but pizza van outside which was good a nice pub at end of campsite entrance which is handy but but and a big but i had a san miguel top and at 6.00 a pint is well over the top thats dearer than Londons prices same pint a mile away 3.60 so well worth the walk for a much cheaper beer
