I was in the area on business and the hotel food was expensive and very poor so I went for a drive and found this place. I was there every night after. Very friendly and welcoming staff excellent food and generous portions. Definitely recommended.
Had fantastic meal it was the dogs do dahs lovely friendly staff definitely recommend this pub
Great food, great hospitality. Immaculate pub. Live music by the restaurant and bar staff, although i think they had sore thoughts.. ��� really enjoyed our visit. ���
Just been for an impromptu late lunch due to outdoor plans being thwarted by rain! What a lovely alternative to our walk! A warm welcome, fabulous food choices and a relaxed environment with friendly staff. Amazing response to our gluten free problem. Having run out of gf bread they responded by giving us a roast lunch instead at no extra cost. No fuss just a fantastically generous response to what is essentially our problem. Heartily recommend this place....and I'm notoriously hard to please about eating out! We'll be back. Thank you.
Went with a part of 12, excellent value for money , the food was spot on ,very friendly and accommodating staff ,
Would definately recommend
Lovely little hotel, the reception from the staff was very welcoming and the food was first class, would thoroughly recommend it �
Great country pub. Tasty reasonably priced food and drinks. Good car park. Scenic location with outside tables. Function rooms available. Particularly liked the starter mushroom stuffed wiith couscous with lettuce and balsamic dressing, which although not a huge portion was absolutely delicious and I would choose it again.
My husband and I visited the Ribchester Arms on Friday 8th September and as it was a warm day we opted to sit outside. The lady came and cleaned out table had a chat to us and got our drinks. I'm not the biggest of eaters and get over faced but the burger and chips were too perfection my husband had a ham sandwich and chips both were really tasty and good value for money overall the service was excellent and we will definitely be coming back.
Excellent location for a drink or food.
Welcoming staff and definitely on a mission to provide good service.
Premises very attractive and may soon try the rooms for a future visit to this charming area of Lancashire.
Well done Robinsons.
Called in on a trip around the area..Lovely pub with great selection of drinks served by pleasant friendly staff..The food menu was varied and tempting but unfortunately we had already eaten, so will return another day to sample.
Regular visits for a marvellous Sunday roast with family and friends , very friendly and polite staff always happy to help with any questions about the food they serve. Highly recommend any of the roast meats all very tasty.
It takes us nearly an hour to get here from Bolton but it is well worth the effort. Why ? because they do the best Sunday lunch in Lancashire . With its old'y world charm and excellent service as well as well kept real ales it's simply the best and we are particularly. But if you are thinking of staying overnight the rooms are due for an update.
An absolute gem of a place, from the welcome when arriving, lovely lovely staff, to the food, Boutique hotel feel in the rooms to the local friendly feeling pub. A bonus staying on a Thursday night is the pub quiz! Gorgeous village to wander around too with the river on the doorstep.
Fantastic vegan menu, so nice to have multiple options. Would highly recommend the bao buns (big portion size!), as well as the 'Vish' and chips (which could've had a more fishy taste, but was delicious nonetheless). Friendly service and nice atmosphere inside. Will visit again!
Omg what's not to say!!!! Ancient Roman site where the Romans had their R&R.
Fwd to today and The Ribchester Arms gives everything the modern day traveller could hope for on food, welcome, quality, exceptional value and breathtaking landscape outside their beautiful premises.
Think London boutique restaurant/hotel with food that is on par with the best London restaurants and this little gem is Lancashire's best secret and hidden gem.
Think the Warm North Welcome and Hospitality.,.it's all here and effortlessly given.
I came for Sunday lunch and had the locally sourced Sunday lamb and my partner Roast Beef. Both slow cooked overnight and thick melt in the mouth to your plate. The accompanying graveys were dreamy and it was ride not to ask for extra. The Mash melts in the mouth and adds the the explosion of tastes and textures that makes Sunday lunch here always a pleasure.
The Yorkshire puddings are not what we southerns are used to....huge so be warned. They too are gorgeous and you may have to leave some to make room for deserts.
With beautiful desserts, craft beers, selection of teas, coffee to cater for all tastes it really puts the diner forst. All this in a tranquil, calm, ambient sophisticated décor that honestly looks not out of place in a photoshoot. Visiting here is more than just an eating experience. It's got everything and it's understandable why it's always full, busy and popular.
The staff and management are so welcoming. Ramblers, motorcyclists, cyclists, tourists, locals all enjoy this hidden gem.
If you ever find yourself in this part of the country....this really is somewhere to go, relax and unwind with friends over superb food and a refreshing drink.
Great food.staff very helpful. Been a number of times. Always good.
Staying locally and popped in for food. Great service by a young waitress called Madison and the food was fantastic. I highly recommend this the Thai Stir Fry!
I had a really lovely stay in one of the rooms. You had everything I would need or want and made me feel very comfortable. Lovely breakfast as well! Thank you for having me.
First class and attentive service, excellent food together with a great range of beers and gins and the room we had the pleasure of staying in was absolutely beautiful.
Highly recommend the Ribchester Arms, faultless from arrival to departure!
Well honestly what can I say..... absolutely top notch all round.
Me and my partner have been here a few times now for food and drink after finding this place on the off chance so yesterday we decided to stay over.
Deluxe bedroom with a balcony overlooking and hearing the water and the sheepies.
Room was gorgeous, en suite with mini fridge, TV had netflix too, bed was super comfy also.
Food as always was amazing, cannot fault it.
Seemed a nice little luxury for a night, such a good night didn't really take photos.
Staff were amazing and even though it was super busy they made everyone of their customers had all they needed and wanted, nothing was any trouble, super friendly.
Will definitely be back
Just home from a 6 day break at The Ribchester Arms. We had a wonderful break .....the Food accommodation and staff were all amazing.......truly a treat for us both 😀. Derek and Pam. The rooms are beautifully decorated the staff friendly and professional and the food delicious 😋.
