Reviews in Rawtenstall

Quality of service and food is amazing. I've had my works Christmas do two years in a row and a good handful of lunches. If you are after a bit of Sicilian sun in our chilly UK winter, book a table now.

As usual the food was excellent, service was prompt, polite and friendly. Would recommend without hesitation

Great food and service, especially the octopus. Best place to eat in Rawtenstall!

Superb food with a wonderful warm welcome! Not easy at such a busy time of year! Every dish is meticulously prepared, always a delicious combination of flavours. Specials are a must, get them while you can, ribs and Panelle are our faves. Great service and atmosphere, love coming here!!!

Absolutely stunning food, staff are amazing and the service was very prompt. I can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.. Also the pub looks stunning inside, and just adds to the atmosphere in there and we are very lucky to have a high quality local country pub…

The food was amazing and as it was Christmas the decorations made the place even cosier than usual. I could have sat by the fire all day. Lovely staff and the service they provided was top notch.

Food is always delicious and a good choice from classic pub grub to more sophisticated dishes. Good service and price in a lovely environment

Great experience. Favourite venue. Authentic. We love it. 100% Support indies. Rawtenstall you’ve a gem ! Gingerbread festive cocktails were super!

Booked a meal on Friday 29th December. Managed to get a table 20 minutes early,given the option of two tables for four. We chose one,sat down,ordered first drinks,only to be asked to move because we were shown the WRONG table!! Not sure how that works Service was slow, and we ordered four different small tapas type dishes, the mains being two lamb kebabs. As the food came out,only one kebab dish appeared but we were told that the other one was on its way! Never appeared,and although it was deleted from the final bill,to be fair,not the beast experience! The food we did have WAS brilliant,but the size of the lb kebab was miniscule! Disappointed!!!

Great meal. Lovely surroundings. First class service.

Excellent food, brilliant service and a great atmosphere

Delicious food lovely staff we had a great evening .

Four of us went for dinner on a Thursday evening, between Christmas and New Year. The pub / restaurant was very busy - which was great to see. Even though busy the staff were fantastic and worked so hard to keep everybody served. And … by the way - the food was fabulous A great evening and a place to be recommended.

Booked the Whitchaff for our Christmas Eve meal because it’s a lovely, friendly place that serves excellent food. The special menu varies with its normal menu on offer aswell, it has everything covered depending on what you fancy, plus the service by all staff is brilliant. I would recommend The Whitchaff and will be definitely visit again soon. Thanks!

Fantastic service, excellent food and great evening
