Reviews in Rawtenstall

Always great food, nice atmosphere, and friendly helpful staff.

Visited yesterday for tea out with friends. We love The Whitchaff and have visited numerous times in the past. With the weather being so warm we opted to sit outdoors to eat. The views are fabulous! We were greeted with a friendly smile on arrival and handed menus. I'd say there is a good menu with a variety of meals as well as a specials menu. We all had a starter and a main - ample food portions,.enjoyed by all! Look forward to returning again. Hope the good service and quality food continues.

Visited for my stepdaughter dad's birthday. 9 of us attended and food was remarkable. My only small gripe was we had to go to the bar from restuarant to order most the drinks or get the waitress each time. It wasn't a real issue but got a bit repetitive as there were 9 of us.

I have been many times to The Whitchaff Inn & will continue to return. The food is fantastic & plentiful & the staff wonderful. I can't recommend the restaurant enough.

Fantastic food and service.

The service was really friendly and the food was heavenly.

We went in for Sunday lunch and not only was the food fabulous but so were the staff & the place itself. Very friendly & efficient! We’ll be back!

Always good. Great food, good service, lots of choice.

Food was excellent as usual however it was far busier than we expected. We were allocated a table in the bar area and people were constantly bumping into the table and encroaching on our space. On consulting my daughter about this she informed us that recently you have become much more of a pub venue at weekend. I personally think when booking people should be told this and nobody should be seated in the busy bar area. We were celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary and this experience actually made me think I should have cooked at home. The excellent service staff told us that if we book again we need to write a note saying we request a booth. I actually think this is a bit ridiculous- you only get a good dining experience if you are au fait with the venue! Also I will point out this was 6pm on a Saturday not routinely an overly busy time.

Our first visit, we gave a mixed review with the 2 different dishes. The steak pie was delicious, but the lamb wasn’t so good. The whole dish was a bit strange, cherry tomatoes in yogurt, potato wedges were nothing special and the lamb was tasteless. Not a great selection of drinks. The staff were lovely. Atmosphere at 7.30-8.30pm was like a children’s play area. We won’t be rushing back.

We really enjoyed our meal and the service was great, thank you Whitchaff for another good evening.
