Reviews in Clitheroe

We have always had an excellent meal at the Calfs Head everyone is very friendly we always recommend family and friends to visit.

Fab food, warm and welcoming, great atmosphere and service. not local for us but worth the drive out in a lovely spot, definitely will be returning.

Really was superb. Lovely warm welcome,all the staff were great. The food was very good and just that bit different with plenty of choice.Fantastic ambiance - just like being on holiday in Italy where they always seem to have time for everyone young or old. The decor is pretty nice too.It reminded me of the Lake Garda region.

It was reading lovely reviews like these that made me book a rare and cherished night out with my husband at Freemasons. We were very disappointed. The food was poor - particular mention goes to the smoke filled Chicken livers which were poorly presented and vile. My fish of the day swam across the plate in a pool of butter. The service was completely underwhelming, at a good restaurant, when provided with feedback regarding a course that has barely been touched (the chicken livers) one would expect action of some sort. Nothing was done. The person we paid at the end of the night was completely unaware, and to be frank disinterested. Not at all first class. Do not waste your time, there really are many "average" restaurants who are able to make a more special occassion than this restaurant. Utterly disappointing.

Once again an unbelievable meal. Took the Inlaws this week as it was toms birthday. Everyone had a fantastic meal as usual... The sebass omg... I tell everyone to go as this is by far the best restaurant in the ribble valley.

There's many places to eat in Clitheroe, but none as good as this! We go a lot, the food is fantastic, the staff are brilliant, and it's really good value, I truly hope this restaurant stays,, I absolutely love it, and highly recommended it,

excellent food and service really enjoyed it ,definitely go again

The emporium a place you can wine and dine in relaxation. Its one of my favourite places.

Good cheap food.Wine ok.

I have never been to the great land but I is the best restaurant ever because Winston lives there

We always get fantastic food at the Aspinall,served by Simon and his staff. All the years we have been going there we have never had cause to complain.

very good service and delicious food

Just come home from having another meal at La Vespa. Superb very friendly service. Food never varies always first class. Prices more than reasonable. Wine I like a glass of wine but some restaurants charge exorbitant prices but La Vespa do a 250 glass for £3.50. I will keep going to this lovely venue Keith and Jan

What a fantastic place - it 's got everything. excellent food, superb hosts and great atmosphere . A great party venue.

First visit for quite a while and happy to say I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I’m a big fan of venues that support local suppliers and it’s probably fair to say that this place -- and its sister venues, which include Northcote Manor – set the standard to which others aspire. Still seems to be as popular as ever and my only criticism would be that in peak times the staff seem to get stretched to the limit

i was really disappointed with my meal at le vespa i had the seafood spaghetti i asked what was in it before i ordered it i was told white fish salmon prawns and mussels in a creamy wine and tomato sauce when it came there was no sauce and it only had very small prawns and mussels which was disappointing. no one came and asked how our meal was and when we asked for the bill we paid and left it was as if the staff weren't interested in our custom.

First visit for hubby’s birthday, found 3 fishes on internet, he loved his meal. I had the cheese pie ( being a veggie) very nice but the cheese was a bit too salty for my liking shame, but would go again and would recommend.

My wife and i visited la Vespa on Sunday the 7th of august 2011, the food was excellent and the service was excellent too, i'd go as far as saying the waiters and staff could almost read your mind, they new just what to do and when, £62.50 bought us two very substantial starters with extra starters like garlic bread with cheese and olives and feta in a bowl, my wife had sirloin steak in a cream mushroom type sauce, and mine was the fillet steak with an olive,anchovy,tomato,capers type sauce with roast pots carrots and mange tout served separately X2,and then to finish off was profiteroles and ice cream and a cheesecake with brulee top plus 2 diet cakes and 2 normal cokes, all this food was of the highest quality and the staff were great from start to finish, service with a smile for less than £65.
