Reviews in Clitheroe

We went yesterday for the first time and the food is exceptional. The minute you enter you feel the wonderfully relaxed atmosphere and lovely decor. The service is amongst the best I have ever encountered and the staff were friendly and professional. I had the Pan-fried Pigeon Breast followed by Steak and Ale Pudding and my girlfriend had Smoked Mackerel also followed by the Steak and Ale Pudding. The pint of Aspinall Witch is a joy to sample also. The pub is dogfriendly and staff made a real fuss of our Fox-red Labrador, providing water and treats for the well-execised mutt. This is a real gem of a place and I highly recommend a visit.

First time at The Three Fishes for quite some time. Pleased to report that standards have not slipped and we had a thoroughly enjoyable lunch. What they excel at is well-delivered comfort food that really hits the spot and on our table the Venison scotch egg, Rabbit pie, Fish & chips and Fish pie all got the thumbs up. Wine list is good with lots of choice (as you would expect from a Northcote sibling) and also very good value. We chose a bottle of Chablis (which was also available by the glass, ranging from taster 70ml to third of a bottle 250ml). Quibbles? Only one minor one – you need to go to the bar to pay the bill.

This is an excellent pub all round. From the food, service, location and its lovely interior. Has everything you would expect from a top end dining pub. My dish was a strange choice for a grim day - chorizo, squid and salad with gespatchio but it really was good! Robert the young man that served me was a very well trained waiter and a thoroughly nice chap. I liked the refit as it looks like a old pub with character and charm but its modern at the same time. Lovely part of the world by the river.

Lovely pub with great views over the countryside. fancy staying in one of their yurts. Food was fab.

Have to comment on what a lovely lunch we had at the Freemasons last weekend. It was totally on spec -- had taken my mother shopping in Whalley and thought we would give this place a try. So glad we did. No reservation but the staff were welcoming and very courteous. Gave us a lovely table and we chose from the set-price lunch menu (2 courses for £15), both of us starting with the Pearl barley risotto and following up with a melt-in-your-mouth slow-cooked lamb dish. Food of the highest quality and great value. Good choice of wines by the glass too which we took full advantage of. Can’t wait to go back in the evening and try the a la carte.

We visited La Vespa last week and was talked into what the waiter recommend. As we were originally going for the meal deal The bill came to £95 with two course and two bottles of wine and the waiter couldn't do enough for us. So this week we went for the meal deal with one bottle of wine, the bill came to £50 bearing in mind the meal deal is £29.95. So I thought maybe the wine didn't apply with the meal deal any longer. So I checked online and it does so we were charged for the wine on top of the meal deal price. And this visit the waiter couldn't be bothered with us. I'm assuming that it was because we were having the cheapo menu. Very disappointed.

This place has taken the Ribble Valley/Trough of Bowland by storm! It always was I a great spot housed in a fine building with character. Since it has been taken over by a more canny operator it appears to be very successful. Great food, wine and beer in a lovely location by the river. A great beer garden for the warmer months. Well done to the Aspinall Arms.

Love love this place. Had a gorgeous lunchtime meal there yesterday looking out a beautiful views of the Lancashire countryside. A regular haunt that I always recommend to others so I thought I would do that on Sugarvine too :)

Luscious fish pie with green beans doused in chilli. All topped off with a couple of pints of Blonde Witch. Tip top!

My partner and I had a great meal at the Assheton Arms after a trip up a very cold Pendle Hill. Lovely pub and village!

The Higher Buck in Waddington is a great foodie pub. It looks lovely and serves top notch food. Loved my duck and chorizo wrap for lunch last week!

Amazing Sunday roast today at the Assheton Arms!

Sunday lunch cannot be bettered ! Nor the friendly staff.

What a beautiful place! The pub, the village, the rooms and food! Highly recommended and we will return.

Have been going to the Spread Eagle since 1977 with family and friends and have never been disappointed.

We stayed at the Higher Buck last night. Nice modern decor excellently appointed bedroom and a good manager, very friendly. We stayed here mainly because it's dog friendly although there was some slight confusion as to whether they welcomed dogs in the bedrooms as they have recently ben refurbsihed, they tried to get us to take Cody to a kennel up the road but we said stuff that & it got sorted quickly. Food was very good too, my wife had the roast beef I had The belly pork. All in all excellent and we would definitely go again.

We have been coming to The Great Land Cantonese restaurant since they opened 25 years ago - it has been consistently good all that time; the food is excellent, the staff are wonderful. IWe have eaten here many many times and never had a bad experience yet. This is our first choice - always. the set buffet menu is great value for money and there is something for everyone......See you very soon Great Land !

Popped into the Calfs head for a late lunch on Saturday. Friendly service, good well portioned food and a unique atmosphere. A nice change from all the bland pubs that proliferate. A shame is wasn't a particularly nice day they have a really beautiful beer garden!
