Cafe By The River — Restaurant in Ribble Valley

Love this gem of a place . Doesn't matter if you are going for a quick tea/coffee, light bite or a meal - with excellent service & the nicest staff ever, & where the food is always fabulous, fresh & utterly delicious this is the place to go. Sitting by the river is so calming & adds to the delightful ambience when visiting . As does a wander round the garden shop where there are always new & things waiting to tempt visitors with some real bargains too. The cafe isn't the cheapest place to go but it is very competitively priced & everything I have ever eaten / drunk there has been fresh & top quality & yet again I feel I should mention the excellent staff & service here since they really do make all the difference. Hats off to them all 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 This really is my favourite place to catch up with friends & family - especially when they even cater for fur babies too - my daughter's dog Stellar loves the...

Unless things have changed, dogs are welcome but only outside on the terrace. However, as I mentioned you need to get there early or be lucky for space to come...

What a gem this place is! The garden centre is well stocked and well looked after, but the cafe is on another level!!! They offer really good cafe and good selection, the service is friendly and nothing is too much trouble, the atmosphere is a wow! You can sit on a table directly overlooking the beautiful river and breathtaking woodland landscapes on the other side. There is alot of greenery and flower decorations between the different sitting areas. Variety of sitting choices. Very relaxed, informal, pretty, homely and friendly vibe. Although it was quite busy, drinks arrived almost immediately and food followed shorty after, hot and tasty. Loved every minute there, will...
