Reviews in Clitheroe

I came here years ago and hated it. It took a lot of persuading to get me back. The place this time however was superb; a proper country inn. The new owners were hilarious and genuinely friendly. Food excellent and the guest bedrooms beautiful. I'll be back very soon. Very impressed. This is a hidden gem but not for long.

My wife and I eat at the carvery at the Calf's Head quite regularly and have always found the food to be great and the staff very, very friendly. There are so many options for eating here whether in the formal restaurant as we did for the carvery or in the conservatory for bar meals or even the garden when the weather is good. The owners have worked their socks off since they took over and their endeavours deserve to be recognised for making this the magnificent place it is today.

A wide choice of menu and fairly priced. The portions were ample and local produce used which was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be booking again. Excellent wine by the glass over the bar - not usual pub rubbish. Well worth a visit, but book early!!

Great views, lovely decor and atmosphere. Food very good but could have been spicier (I ordered extra chillies). Lots of specialty mexican and spanish drinks to try. A good night out!

What a great concept, Wonderful food attentive service on a busy Sunday, Will be back soon

This is the place to go for Chinese food. I first went there 3 years ago for a birthday meal and have been back at least once a year since though I plan to go more in the future. I will be there in a months time because the food is just amazing. It isn't a big place so if you plan on going there in a big group it might be best to book in advance. Wonderful!!

Very good food, drinks a little pricey, modern restaurant, friendly service

I'm an ex-pat from Arizona, and this is, bar none, the best Mexican food in the United Kingdom. I've been from one end of this country to the other, over the past six years. Highly recommended.

Well worth finding. Top notch food well presented. Landlady Rachel is a bit of a find as well. Don't give any cheek - you'll get loads back. Our 4 star find of the year. A very warm and friendly welcome.

We have visited the 3 fishes on several occasions and love the fantastic food, location and relaxed atmosphere, where the food is the centre of the attention. It? even better as the ingredients are locally produced and the food you remember from childhood. This is the best restaurant in Lancashire and is also not as expensive as the Heathcotes brassiere outlets. My main tip would be arrive early as you can't book tables and don't drink all the dandelion & burdock!

On visiting one Saturday night, group of 6 of us dined on the recommendation of a friend. We came at obviously a very busy night but waited an acceptable our or so. We had a broad selection from the menu, but the treacle ribs with devilled black peas were quite superb, a couple of dishes were sold out unfortunately but didn? detract from a very enjoyable meal, the only down side was the price of the drinks from the bar which were pricey

I love this restaurant. A 'typical' Italian I suppose but with a huge menu choice, generous portions and really, really tasty food. Their sauces are wonderful so boring pasta is always a delight. Dishes like garlic mushrooms are different from the standard in every other Italian. It's small and cosy, waiting on staff are professional and friendly, Go on a Wednesday and there is a piano/keyboard player and Friday a guitarist. You need to book though. Price is OK - about £7.00 for a pasta I can't recommend it enough. My favourite restaurant at the moment.

I have visited here twice now, in November and more recently in February and the food was excellent and French inspired. The service was knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. I went with my husband and at 32 we were the youngest in there by a long way. This may be because it is a long way out on a winters evening or that there is a very delicious and reasonably priced set menu, as well as an a la carte. I can't speak for the wine as I was driving, the only downside. But my husband described his rioja as 'superb'. Apparently it is in a really lovely stetting but as both times we have arrived after dark, so we will have to go again, as the nights draw out.

There has been an Inn there since the late 19th Century, although it looks nothing like it now The Wellsprings is a charming place and the variety of their cooking and choice in beverage is highly recommended. The ambience and the views of the Ribble Valley make it a place to visit time and time again.

What a welcoming homely pub/restaurant this is, you feel relaxed as soon as you walk through the door. The service is excellent and the food is of a very high standard the menu is extensive with quite a lot of flair but you have to have a good appetite the portions are large all the meals use fresh ingredients and are freshly cooked

Excellent Starter of Japanese Prawns with Spicy Dip. Others had Mushroom Tart( Yummy), and Melon with Prawns( very generous). Main Courses include- Worston Whale ( excellent !), Lamb Henry, ( gorgeous & generous serving), Hot Steak Sandwich( overflowing with Steak, Mushrooms, Melted Cheese, Onions etc.) Bar & Restaurant Staff are very friendly & efficient. We travelled from Rossendale, and saw lots of folk we knew-- well worth the journey!!

I can concur with the previous report that the food was outstanding. My partner pointed out though that the food had a little to much salt....... Will be returning as its the best Chinese food I have tasted for a long time.

lovely historic building with a distinct country gentry feel to it, food is very good and worthy of a top restaurant rather than an inn the only thing thing is the portions could be better and the chips where frozen chips which was a big letdown, the staff where a bit too keen to please by repeatedly asking if everything is ok, but other than that we enjoyed the experience.
