Excellent birthday meal at the Aspinall Arms near Whalley. A gorgeous location, attentive service and we all enjoyed our meals. My cheese pie was very tasty. A superior pub!

We went yesterday for the first time and the food is exceptional. The minute you enter you feel the wonderfully relaxed atmosphere and lovely decor. The service is amongst the best I have ever encountered and the staff were friendly and professional.
I had the Pan-fried Pigeon Breast followed by Steak and Ale Pudding and my girlfriend had Smoked Mackerel also followed by the Steak and Ale Pudding. The pint of Aspinall Witch is a joy to sample also.
The pub is dogfriendly and staff made a real fuss of our Fox-red Labrador, providing water and treats for the well-execised mutt.
This is a real gem of a place and I highly recommend a visit.

This is an excellent pub all round. From the food, service, location and its lovely interior. Has everything you would expect from a top end dining pub. My dish was a strange choice for a grim day - chorizo, squid and salad with gespatchio but it really was good! Robert the young man that served me was a very well trained waiter and a thoroughly nice chap. I liked the refit as it looks like a old pub with character and charm but its modern at the same time. Lovely part of the world by the river.

This place has taken the Ribble Valley/Trough of Bowland by storm! It always was I a great spot housed in a fine building with character. Since it has been taken over by a more canny operator it appears to be very successful. Great food, wine and beer in a lovely location by the river. A great beer garden for the warmer months. Well done to the Aspinall Arms.

We always get fantastic food at the Aspinall,served by Simon and his staff. All the years we have been going there we have never had cause to complain.

This place offers a real pleasant change to the bland chain pubcos that dominate this country. In the heart of the ribble valley near clitheroe. It's serves top food from its chef patron and I loved the "middle earth" murals in the toilet. I only had a sandwich for lunch but it hit the spot!
