Reviews in Clitheroe

I visited Mitton Hall on the 17th November for lunch. I was breath taken when I entered the building. The best thing I can say that I've been to many restaurants and this is far, the best. I like the idea of sending food out on slates it was fantastic. (THE SERVICE WE GOT WAS EXEPTIONALLY GOOD)

what a good view over Pendle hill, food average

Good morning, we stayed at the Red Pump for three nights for our anniversary and found everything just spot-on. bedrooms were beautiful, food very good indeed, especially the steak. Visited because of recommendation from sugarvine and would be happy to follow recommendation from here again. We visited during Bowland Lamb week at the inn and the food was fantastic and we will definitely return. Thanks.

We and numerous friends have been dining here for a number of years. The food is excellent, to a high quality especially compared to other restaurants in the area. The owners Nigel and Ysanne have really turned this place around, it has a good atmosphere, the staff who are mainly young people provide an excellent service, obviously trained to a high standard. The wine and whisky list are extensive in different price brackets and the views over the river are hard to beat. One special mention - Greig Barnes, head chef and his kitchen, they have been catering for me being a vegan diner for all these years and I cannot thank them enough for all the time and effort they put into making some of the best meals I have had the pleasure of eating

Our second visit here and we were not disappointed. Although we live quite a distance away we feel it well worth the journey, the staff are very friendly and nothing is to much trouble.

Visited on 28th October for dinner, having last visited about 10 years ago. The menu was different, the food was excellent, we were made welcome and found the dining room not too crowded and it had a rustic charm. A thoroughly enjoyable visit which I intend to repeat.

My daughter got married a couple of weeks ago and chose this venue for the reception. what a good choice we were very well looked after by excellent staff and would recommend it to anybody

I asked for nachos and the "green" dip in the middle of the nachos was still frozen. I mean I did not know you could freeze salad. I complained, they scooped it off, put it in the microwave and gave me the same meal back. Now I just go in for coffee.

First visit - on entering the bar/restaurant we were slightly put off by "the best man's speech" being piped through the speakers quite loudly - very nice if you are guests at the wedding but slightly uncomfortable if you aren't.. anyway after asking the manager to switch it off (5 mins later he did so) - we were shown to our table it seemed everyone dining that evening was placed albeit squeezed into one area of the restaurant - menu pretty mixed if slightly confusing for a country pub/bar restaurant - Chinese, Indian, french, British dishes which were ok definite room for improvement but we did go expecting traditional British food.. nice place and surroundings but we wont be rushing back - Aug 07

With great views, excellent food and fabulous decor this is a great choice for a romantic meal. One of my favourite places! Kimberley x.

What a find!! hidden down a beautiful country lane The Buck Inn is by far one of the best eating and drinking houses around. The menu choice is unbelievable for the size of the pub and the prices are reasonable. The gammon is awesome and sourced locally apparently. Service is truly amazing to say how busy they get, a credit to the staff who unlike most places do afford you a smile for your trouble. Truly exceptional!!

Quite simply the best Italian meal you will find. The specials are fantastic and the portions are generous.

Visited for a bar meal on 15/9.07. Limited choice on the menu and very, very expensive for pub food. Fish,chips and peas cost more that £10.50. Chips were inedible -enormous and hard inside, overcooked and "hard baked" on the outside. When we complained to a waiter my plate was removed. Waiter returned some minutes later with the same plate to tell me that the chef had said that the problem was with the type of potatoes used and that he had added some more of the offending chips to my plate!!! Not worth the 60 mile round trip. Doubt if we'll ever go again.

This pub has gone downhill fast. Up until my recent visit in late June 2007, I was recommending it to my friends but afterwards had quickly to go round and warn them against it. It was service without a smile; no please or thankyou, minimum conversation and little if any eye contact. The drinks were overpriced and the cutlery was literally thrown on to the table as the waitress rushed by.The prawn piri piri, which I chose from the specials board, consisting of the minutest of prawns swimming around in a watery concoction which could hardly be called a sauce and served alongside a tablsepoonful of limp salad. My friend had chosen a sausage with cheese melt on a baguette which was equally obnoxious. We left without ordering a desert and won't be returning. What a shame! The surroundings are beautiful, the village picturesque and the pub full of charm..... unlike the proprietors. Don't go there.

mixed feelings i've been dining at the Spread Eagle at Sawley for years over the past five years and its been more times then good when i've been NEEDS TO IMPROVE!!!

My friends and I always leave Breda's feeling that we've had a real treat - gorgeous food, spotlessly clean, modern but cosy atmosphere and decent service at a reasonable price -what more could you want?

Fantastic, well sourced food. Imaginative recipes. Cakes to die for!! Don't miss this little gem tucked away in Whalley!

Excellent food and service rarely bettered
