Reviews in Rawtenstall

Great food & service. Consistently great.

Going from strength to strength. Surely the best restaurant in the Irwell Valley? Love this place. Service is always professional and friendly. The space itself is well designed and comfortable with downstairs booths and an attractive mezzanine level - lovely reuse of a heritage building. The wine list and cocktails are high quality but reasonably priced. The food is the star of the show as it should be. Decent portion sizes, delicious dishes with highlights this time including seafood risotto and Moroccan pastilla. Hope these guys continue to prosper for a long time.

Wonderful as ever! Great food and great service! Always an absolute pleasure!

Called in for lunch. Food and service excellent as always. The steak pie is the best I have had anywhere. Only trouble is I'm too full for a sweet afterwards.

First time in a while to the Whitchaff and I wasn’t disappointed. The food was great. The Waitress was friendly and I had a great meal and I’ll be back again soon for sure.

Booked for family dinner out and we really enjoyed it all. The portions are very generous and the food is excellent. Service is good and all the staff are really friendly. I'd recommend. Not our first visit so we knew it wouldn't disappoint.

Brilliant pub, highly recommended. Service is always friendly and professionally, and timely. Huge portions (be careful if ordering 3 courses!) and great value for money. Also a lovely setting with great views.

Love this pub. Looks really good after the recent renovation. The food for the three of us was excellent and all had different dishes. I feel the level of service drops off as closing time approaches and disappointed that there were no sweeteners to have with our coffee. Overall though I am looking forward to our next visit.

We had a lovely evening. The service was superb and the food was delicious. Thank you!

Fantastic food, lovely friendly staff as alway.

Went for lunch on a Tuesday, six of us and found every main meal we had excellent and reasonably priced with good service.

Been a few times now, food is excellent and good value for money. Staff friendly and attentive. Our favourite place to eat in the area, much better quality food compared to some larger chains which overcharge and provide mediocre food.

Our party of 9 had a lovely meal in the restaurant - the food was excellent, as always. We lingered and chatted well past 9 o’clock and they didn’t try to send us packing. Small issue - you sell Coke, but not Diet Coke - Diet Pepsi is NOT a suitable substitute. Please note!

Had a great meal with some friends at the Whitchaff Good food & service in a great location I would highly recommend this place to anyone

Great night!! Impeccable service on a very busy evening very warm welcome and stunning food! Love the variety with the specials and of course the old favourites ( I’m talking ribs and Panelli xxx) Highly recommend!

Food is always good and excellent value for money. We went on a Saturday evening, by 9.30 the place was empty and we were made to feel we'd overstated our welcome. I wouldn't consider 9.30 on a Saturday evening late by any means and if we'd been made aware that you'd like everyone out by that time we'd have maybe booked elsewhere. The wait staff were all very young and although polite I got the impression they'd somewhere else to be. Definitely felt like we were an inconvenience. Shame because we'd taken friends and it felt a bit awkward.

Visited Saturday night with friends. Very friendly staff, nice open layout so you don’t feel crowded even though it was full. Good quality “pub grub”. Nice relaxed evening

Booked a table on advice,was pleasantly surprised how it was played out,very clean and bright,the staff were very helpfull all of them ,I had chicken sizzler and wasn't disappointed and the blackpudding ,cheese hashbrown were amazing,will definitely be re-booking .
