The best restaurants serving British food in Ribble Valley North West

We called in for some hot drinks and a snack whilst visiting the areas. Glad that we did! The scones were freshly baked and served nice and warm with plenty of jam and cream. The staff were very helpful and the cafe was very clean. There was also an helpful notice board with local information.

What a truly lovely family-run business with a focus on customer satisfaction. I was looking for a venue to host a family gathering and the fabulous owners of this very pretty and well-organised cafe came up trumps! We were able to have the private room and conservatory at the back of the cafe which was cosy and intimate and yet also spacious. A scrummy buffet was laid on for us with a great election of delicious sandwiches, quiches, salads, crisps and cakes. We were a group of 30 relatives and friends and everyone commented on the quality of the food. Unlimited tea and coffee was served in proper cups and saucers and the whole experience from being welcomed on arrival to be waved goodbye as we left, was just faultless! I have not hesitation in recommending the food, drinks, staff service and general welcoming atmosphere of The Apricot Meringue!

Excellent customer care and service; excellent food and great specials board with excellent desserts choice. Large portions as well and home made food. Soup could have made meals for two. Very busy even though midweek. Ideal for carpark

Lovely place with stunning views and hosted by Jonathan and Fran who are the most welcoming people. Bed and breakfast for one night only but we felt like we were visiting close family. We would highly recommend a stay here.

What an amazing place, lovely staff great service, top quality produce. Couldn’t possibly fault this place. Coffee to die for. Butcher’s counter excellent display with top quality cuts of meat. A great all rounder have lunch, get stocked up and fill your freezer lots of other interesting items too.

Stumbled upon this place when we wanted a coffee. It delighted up with its individuality. Set on 3 floors in an old house. It’s full of a delightful atmosphere and yummy smells If you’re a coffee buff it’s the place for you so much choice. Our flat white was so good. Had a slice of caramel shortbread a-maz-ing ! The menu looked lovely we will have to come back and try it out.

Our third visit to this homely cafe. We like to pop in when we are in Clitheroe. Always get a warm and friendly welcome, and we enjoy chatting with the owner. The cakes always look amazing!

Absolutely fantastic service and food. A group of 8 cyclists turned up on spec and we were wowed. Thank you for looking after us so well and what a fab breakfast.

What an amazing friendly little place! Couldn't have been happier to see Hofbrau as a regular and their Oktoberfest as a special. Great selection of beers and ales, and a very friendly barman and locals. 100% will come back again, cheers!

This is my dad's local and he said that they had just started breakfast so we gave it ago. Lovely service and good quality breakfast items that were cooked perfectly. Definetly worth a visit

Just been to The Avenue for Sunday lunch, had roast beef and all the trimmings and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was absolutely delicious and great staff.We'll definitely be.back.Thank you.

Tim Hall is a very good chap. We had filled baps and they were excellent. The tea rooms were closed, but he let us sit at the tables in the garden. We will certainly come again.

En route to the lakes lunch Fish cake and chips and crispy chicken sandwich and triple cooked chips . Chips were definitely out of the freezer , the fish cake was ok but nothing more and my husband said the crispy chicken was boring . Tartare sauce served with the fish cake was one of those really cheap ones out of a jar . For nearly £13 for a chicken sandwich plus £3.75 for a portion of chips it should have been better

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

We’ve been to Gibbon Bridge on several occasions over the years and it was always excellent. We couldn’t fault the staff, they were friendly and attentive. I noticed that some of the dishes have been on the menu for years. The food was lovely. The dessert menu was somewhat boring. Apple pie, sticky toffee pudding, crème brûlée etc. What I did object to was being charged almost £9 for a glass of Prosecco!! I’ve paid less in Manchester and Cheshire. A pleasant enough evening, but I don’t think we’ll go out of our way to return. We have an excellent 4 star restaurant on our doorstep, think we’ll stick to that
