Reviews in Clitheroe

Duke of York date visited 27th Feb 2010. Our party of 4 was looking forward to sampling the really good food we have had on previous visits to this restaurant, how wrong we were. The presentation of the food is first class it's just the portions were very small & miserly compared to the previous meals we've had here and as such the depth of flavour just didn't come through with the food. This was a memorable meal all for the wrong reasons, don't get me wrong I will complement restaurants when I've had a good meal but, this left all of us empty in both stomach & pocket £140, starving. It was a good a job we had lunch in Haworth earlier in the day. When we got back to our cottage we had to put a couple of pizza's in the oven, not a good advert. The following day we went to the Waddington Arms for Sunday lunch and came out of there a good deal fuller and at 1/2 the price. Will be a long time before we think of going to the Duke of York again.

I went to the Eagle with some expectations of a good meal but was sadly disappointed. The fish pie was 80% (and I am being generous here) mashed potato and when I did locate the odd piece of salmon it was overcooked, dry and devoid of flavour. Thankfully the goats cheese starter had not been touched by the hands of the kitchen beyond plating it up with some surprisingly pulpy and flavourless figs and a smattering of leaves. The ambiance after 10pm was best described as 'school disco for the over 40's' which at least provided us with some unexpected entertainment, unlike the food. I won't be rushing back.

What a fantastic meal-the best Italian we have ever had. The food was out of this world, the tastes were just sublime. The staff couldn't do enough to make our meal special and told us all about the dishes and where the produce was sourced. You haven't lived until you have sampled the delights at this authentic Italian restaurant.

I recently dined at this beautiful establishment and it was superb. The Place is drop-dead gorgeous with roaring log fires and lovely traditional charm balanced with modern luxurious touches. Loads of comfy settees and also a very classy restaurant. Also worth noting were the beautiful toilets - I always judge a place on its toilets! We dined off the Table d-hote menu which was two courses plus a glass of champagne for a great £20! The food was beautiful, very nicely presented and staff very attentive. One slight gripe is that they failed to cook my beef well- done as I had asked (how hard is this??!) but I experience this wherever I go and they did do it again and it was almost perfect! A definite place to go if you want a classy and luxurious meal in beautiful surroundings.

This establishment has a long-held reputation for its food and ambience, located in Clitheroe. It doubles as both an informal yet classy daytime eatery and classy Brasserie in the evenings, renowned for the cosmopolitan atmosphere and great service it really it worth a visit. The portions are huge but prices very reasonable, considering the location.

Have visited the Freemasons several times now & it never ever disappoints. The steaks - in my husbands opinion - are the best cooked steaks he has ever had anywhere. The Duck breast served with crispy wontons is amazing. The Menu changes slightly quite regularly which is also refreshing. Just make sure you leave room for the desserts too. The wine list is more than adequate & the front of house staff charming & efficient without being intrusive. One slick operation, & not sure why this restaurant doesn't have a Michelin star.

My recommendation would be that you do not go to the Eagle until either the old head chef is re-instated or a new one takes over. My first visit in October 2009 the food was amazing the best food I have tasted in a restaurant without Michelin Stars. However, on my last visit at the end of January the food was awful, the Moules tasted of nothing more than flour, the Veal Canneloni was baked to the dish and the Prawn Cocktail was also bland. The mains, well they were worse. I'm not sure what has happened front of house either, upon telling the waitress that the steak was cold she just said "Oh' and walked away. The manager did not seem to be equipped to deal with complaints either. The atmosphere in the bar though was still great and it seems to be the hotspot for drinking in the area. I hope the problems are ironed out soon as only a few months ago I would say it was the best place by far in the area.

My favourite restaurant for quality of food, service, friendliness and of course price. It's difficult to get them all right at the same time but, in my opinion, the 3 Millstones certainly does. The food is cooked and presented superbly, the service is very friendly and efficient but not in your face. The early bird menus are amazing value for money and absolutely delicious. Perfect!

Table booked for 8.45pm. Arived 8.35pm waited 30 mins before order taken, another 15 mins before seated at table (although the table was free when we entered) and eventually left without eating at 9.55pm. Service not as expected. Food may be wonderful but we'll never know. Spoilt a very special evening.

Always enjoyed it here, nice place, quirky, young staff, and like young staff some are surly and some are confident and friendly - lovely soups.

The menu is small and doesn't offer a single vegetarian dish. The waiter said he would speak to the chef and took off and only returned to serve food at other tables, avoiding ours. I ended up ordering just a starter (the only veg dish!). Both our meals were just about average. We would definitely not go back.

Went for a wonderful winter walk that started and finished at this excellent country pub. After 6 miles we were really ready for our sunday roast and were not disappointed. Great wine from Byrnes and we loved the decor and atmosphere. Next time we will stay!

A truly wonderful country Inn. Definitely one of Englands finest! An inpromptu stay as our car was stuck on an icy road nearby. What a place to be stuck! I love the intact Georgian feel the place has, the wonderful curios and its attention to detail. A must stay venue!

This is the best venue for service , food, bar stock and atmosphere, very child friendly and perfect for a romantic meal or family party or wedding. The value for money is amazing, and second to none for service. Merry Christmas Zack and Catherine.

Great Land is superb! My wife and I have been going there since Simon and Ying moved there from there former restaurant Bejing, (formerly Man Ying) The whole family are a joy to be with and the food is the best ever!

There is always a very warm welcome at The Villa. Piano and his staff provide an excellent service. The food is the best quality and cooked to perfection. I always recommend this restaurant to anyone wishing to eat out in Clitheroe in comfort.
