I honestly can’t believe the transformation Paul, it’s fantastic team of made in The Whitchaff!! I have lived round here for 20 years and it’s always been one of our family favourites due to the food. It’s always been a “nice pub” but the transformation has absolutely blown us away!!! You could be in a gastro pub in rural Cheshire but at a fraction of the price. The service, food and overall experience will 10/10!!! Well done to the management as this is a true diamond in Rawtenstall

Excellent meal and really friendly service. Well done Team Whitchaff!

It was our first family visit and we enjoyed the Sunday lunch. The only downside was you did not serve the Sunday lunch in kids portions. So we had to purchase an adult’s portion for a 8 year old. Good job she has a good appetite.

It really pains me to write this review. I've been coming to the whitchaff since childhood and it's always been amazing. In a lot of ways, it still is amazing, but I've felt a little disappointed the last 2 times I've been. The refurbishment is lovely, although I think it's lost a little but of its character. The staff are lovely, very friendly, but just lack a little something. Maybe it's just lack of experience or a little more training is required. A few smiles would be great. The food, there is a lot of it, but both times, my food has been very oily, maybe the fat hasn't been hot enough when the food has gone in. This has left me with an upset tummy on both occasions. The atmosphere is always really buzzy, but sometimes seems a bit chaotic. It would definitely be amazing value for money, with a few little changes. A few little tweaks could make The Whitchaff really amazing. I hope this doesn't upset anybody, as I know you all work so hard, but sometimes it's just the little things that make something fabulous.

Our first visit to restaurant.Food and service excellent. Will be returning again - actually booked for next week.

Lovely lunch at the Greyhound!

Food was good, staff are brilliant and friendly and the service is always on point.

Excellent menu, great service & great food, good atmosphere. Even catered for my daughters food intolerance (dairy).

Another lovely meal. Spot on

A close spot to our Airbnb! We loved it. Great steak & ale pie, my husband had the lamb pot and really liked it. The sticky toffee pudding is to die for. Felt like a place full of locals.

Great service, delicious food. Nice surroundings. Great for pre show meal

Birthday meal for my wife- fabulous food and atmosphere. Fizz chilling when we arrived. I had the mackerel and pheasant from the specials board and my wife had cheese soufflé and sea bass. We were recommended carrots as a side dish by Ben our lovely waiter……. They were amazing!! Can’t print what I actually said. Just try them. Finished our meal by sharing the special pannacotta and Team Tom gave a lovely birthday cake to my wife- customer service at its best. Thank you team Tom! We will be back very soon x

A great meal as usual! Great quality, great price,great customer service

Excellent food and service.

Verdes is our happy place, we always enjoy going, but went on Friday and the Service was awful, we waited over 30 minutes between starter and main and only due to a waiter noticing us sat there and going to the chef's did we get our main, which was not as good as usual, possible rushed due them forgetting us. We were so disappointed we didn't stay for dessert and coffee which we usually do. They need to look at this as it is not good practice. Think we will give a miss for a whilkem, which really upsets me

The food, service and atmosphere are all fantastic. We eat here regularly and it is one of our favourite places!

Amazing food and excellent service

4 of us had a table booked at 5pm for 2 hours. When we arrived, someone was sat at our table, it took around 15 minutes before we were sat down. As the Rugby was on, it was understandably busy however, even as we arrived at the table, there weren't enough seats around it and we had to find them ourselves. We then went to use the 'order to table' QR code but it wouldn't work. When ordering at the bar, we were then told it was a minnimum of 1.5 hours wait for food. This is not only ridiculous but, would have meant our food would arrive after we had to vacate the table. There was no mention of this by the bar staff, or the reluctant member of staff that pointed us to our table. We left. It was a shame as its usually always been a good experience here, last night was just extremely disappointing.
