The best restaurants serving British food in Ribble Valley North West

Arrived after a long walk, and looking for somewhere to eat. Had a drink in bar but completely put off by consistent swearing (f***ing) in front of every noun by clientele in bar. No need at all, even when we moved tables,still could hear. Small girl about 6, in and out of bar, didn’t stop the foul language. Will not recommend for families or quiet drinks.

As always, we expected and received exemplary service and a sublimely inventive menu

Brilliant as ever. Fab food and drink. Staff very good and efficient as well as being friendly. Treat you as respected customers every time.

Having been recommended here by a friend we decided to go for breakfast. Wow! What an amazing experience. All the staff were very polite, friendly and helpful. A lovely member of staff showed us where to go for breakfast. The breakfast was amazing! Everything was cooked to perfection and very tasty. The atmosphere and layout of the eatery was perfect. It was spacious and a little quirky which we both really like. The garden centre itself is lovely. It is easy to navigate and plenty of lovely things for both the home and garden. Will certainly be going again. Also this is somewhere that the weather doesn’t spoil it.

Our first visit, what a treat! A lovely old pub, comfortably furnished, nice ambience, & friendly efficient staff. We both ordered the venison dish, sooo delicious, lovely tender meat, tasty jus, dauphinois potatoes & fresh veg ( could've done with more veg ) Couldn't fault any of it, worthy of five stars..

Poor. They got my order wrong and a manager? Simply came over said something about a confusing order and took it way (implying it was my fault!) they brought it back later and the chips were raw. There was no atmosphere at all. It was expensive for what it was. My pie was not good at all.

We stayed in a cottage just up the road, and having enjoyed lunch when we first arrived, we went again a few days later. Food and service were excellent, the pies in particular were really tasty. They serve a variety of beers, with the standout for me being the Bowland Brewery Hen Harrier. Rooms appear to be reasonably priced, there are great walks in the area and Clitheroe, Whalley and Skipton are not far away. We may well stay here in the future, particularly as dogs are welcomed.

We wanted a midday alcoholic drink, and seeing that Maxwells was a cafe/bar we headed inside. It was busy/bordering on chaotic with the most disorganised of service. We said we just wanted drinks and were seated.. and then the wait began. Despite tables around us being served, we were totally ignored, so after waiting for what we thought was a reasonable length of time, (we weren't in a rush!), we left.

First of all, Car Park was good lots of room. The outside of the place was really nice Long wait just to order our food by this time we had been there well over an hour also by this time our drinks were empty. We had to ask someone if we could order food and get s some more drinks Finally, we got our food. When the food came more disappointments the garlic mushrooms were cold. The salad wasn’t fresh. Steak was charred that much it just left a burnt taste in your mouth, the mash potatoes was really dry. A family meal just spoiled Would I go back. No Not recommend

Excellent Christmas dinners had by all, juicy turkey, goose fat roasties and the veg was cooked perfectly. Had the creamy garlic mushrooms with vol-au-vent pastry to start, delicious and as always excellent service.

We had a lovely fresh toastie and a delicious bacon barm with excellent coffee (latte and a flat white) - it was all soooooo nice! Lovely friendly and professional staff, from the easy and pleasant ordering experience (from a really delightful new member of staff - gr8 job!!), to top notch/quick service and VERY enjoyable eating :-) We highly recommended this cafe, and would like to thank everyone there for making it such a nice visit. We will definitely be back 👍 x

Wowza. About 25 -30 of us for a leavers party. Food was incredible. Lota of it, lots of variety, catered for all requirements and i had the vegan afternoon tea. It waa3 delicious! Couldn't eat it all, there was so much. Lovely service price and venue! Definitely recommend!
