The best restaurants in Ribble Valley North West

Had a wonderful Stay, room was absolutely fantastic & staff & food were amazing & breakfast was one of the best you can get.

This was not our first visit to the Calf’s Head but it has to be the best meal we have ever had. It was a large family gathering and despite the size of the party the service was friendly and efficient. Looking forward to a return visit, hopefully not in the too distant future.

The staff were very welcoming and the service was quick. The prices are reasonable and the food quality is great. Some dishes for us lacked a bit of flavour but we were looking for something which wasn’t on the menu and they tried to accommodate us. The atmosphere is great and the setting is beautiful. We will definitely return to try some of the specials they recommend rather than us try and request something.

I have been for food twice in recent times and both times have been amazing ! We had been well looked after both times. Great food, service and atmosphere. Will be returning for sure

Emailed the restaurant to say how disappointed we were with our visit. Received no response. I attended with my boyfriend for afternoon tea which was a gift for my birthday. Firstly, the food was not as advertised with 3 of the desserts/puddings changed from what was on the menu. As in the picture the menu advertises - Strawberry panna cotta - Mini Victoria sponge - Lemon meringue pie - Chocolate caramel tart Instead we were given chocolate brownie, Eton mess and “cheesecake”. Therefore we lost 1 dessert from the 4 advertised and also were not informed of these changes and the food was just given to us as if that was what it should be. It meant we were given eton mess and cheesecake, and as you can imagine with the addition of scone with cream and jam we felt like all we had eaten was the same jam and cream over and over. The cheesecake was just crushed biscuits with cream on top and the Eton mess was just strawberries with cream on top. Additionally the ceaser salad was essentially a pile of lettuce with 2 anchovies on top. You may wonder why we didn’t bring this up at the time which brings me to the fact that the service was very poor. We were served promptly but ignored for most of the meal. Staff saw that we had finished but ignored us with a group of around 5 staff members stood chatting at the bar without attending to us or asking if we needed anything. We waited for that long that we just got up and went to the bar to pay without our table being cleared or the bill offered to us. To say we paid £50 for the meal which was not what was advertised and a very poor standard of service we were very disappointed. Photos have been added to show what was advertised vs what was served.

We had an excellent visit to Yu which for us always delivers the quality of food that we have come to expect having visited for many years! Service was good for us and the kids enjoyed the mocktails at the bar before being seated. Not the cheapest but for us definitely worth it!

As a wedding venue this place is amazing. The food, setting, everything for the wedding was perfect. We have a really lovely day. Our problem was the rooms. We had room 4 which has no window to the outside. There is a frosted window to a corridor. No air conditioning or ventilation and a small double bed. This was just horrendous, we got a taxi back to Bolton at 1.30am as we couldn’t sleep. Several of the rooms are the same with no window to the outside. I’m abit claustrophobic so this was just awful. The room needs a king size bed and at least a fan / air conditioning.

Spent an evening here with some friends, staying elsewhere. First up, it's uphill, and I mean uphill, to get here but the views and the service were easily worth it. Kaitlyn (really hope I remembered this right) properly looked after us. Thank you.

We booked a table for 9 for a family lunch to celebrate my Dad’s life as he wanted us to do this instead of a formal funeral.We were all driving from different areas so the location suited everyone. Peter the Manager kindly suggested we use the room just off the main dining area which was perfect. There was a very comprehensive choice of food options which ranged from A La Carte to sandwiches. Perfect if you’ve no idea how hungry people will be!The Cosy Lunch set menus are very good value.Everyone enjoyed their meal ,the salmon being particularly popular. The service was extremely efficient yet unobtrusive.I felt everything was being done at our pace which is often difficult to achieve. Thankyou Peter and staff you were great!

Really nice cafe in a lovely setting. I only had coffee and cake but it was very good and reasonably priced. Seems popular with cyclists, but don't let that put you off, they don't bite :)

After noon tea ... absolutely disgusted with the lack of attention to customer service and courtesy.Booked our table for 4 people .Wasn't ready when we arrived ..not offered any chance of a drink .Taken to sit at a table only big enough for two people but had to fit all four of us . afternoon tea was inedible as jam pots and marmalade pots had already been opened and used else where with evidence of half filled pots mixed with butter from a knife (presumably) and the cream for the scones had already been used with scoops in it from a used spoon ..There was not enough sandwiches and cakes for two people never mind four ..... On requesting a word with the manager we were told this was not possible as there wasn't a manager on site ..... Refusing to believe this we. Insisted someone came to us .... Eventually we showed the second in charge (presumably again).he looked and disappeared never to be seen again ,!! Needless to say we didn't eat any of the sandwiches as they looked liked they had been passed from what was left over and we also did not Pay ......Advising the staff that we would be adding this to trip advisor and also afew. Other people behind us in the place ......This also needs reporting to the local health and hygiene dept one of my friends will also be adding to this with photos ... ...

Mediocre food, bland, chicken came with veg which was under cooked and no potatoes. Friendly staff but very alow service despite it not being busy. The restaurant lacks atmpshere, the chairs are very uncomfortable. Doubtful if we would vist again.

had two visits now and can not fault the food or the service. food is always to perfection. will be visiting again soon 👌🏻

We had to sit in the entrance to order a drink and look at the menu while they got our table ready, the restaurant was almost empty. Once ordered they took us to our table. The food was pretty tasteless and not very warm. Once we had finished our meal, they brought over a complimentary drink, which made us feel they wanted us to leave. No offer of dessert or even coffee. We will not return.

We called in quite early on our way to a concert at the Grand Theatre and were not disappointed! We were given a warm welcome and prompt, friendly service. The food was fresh and tasty, with some unusual items on the menu which we were pleased to sample. By the time we left, every table was taken and there was a lovely busy atmosphere. We’ll certainly be visiting again next time we’re in Clitheroe.
