The best restaurants serving Default food 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.

Disappointing experience. Two of us ordered the vegetarian roast option which we were informed would include extra veg and/or cauliflower cheese in place of the meat. Not great, but, if the rest of the roast is nice, it's fine I thought. Food came, an extra Yorkshire and the watery cauliflower cheese meant we weren't starving. Nice dessert, no real complaints at this point. Paying we noticed the bill had the cheese and the yorkshire as extras to pay. Asking a member of staff we were informed it wasn't a mistake and that we had been given extra veg. We hadn't and the stubborn manner in which the discussion dragged out made us feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. Though the majority of the staff were great at their jobs and the pub is a nice space, I won't be rushing back to fork out 19.50 for a carrot, a chunk of beetroot, half a cup of mash, 2 roasties, a Yorkshire pudding and 3 small pieces of tenderstem broccoli. Oh...and if you're thinking this must be one of those less is more/quality over quantity approaches, it really wasn't.

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.
