  A tasty treat and well worth a visit - This a beautiful restaurant using local, seasonal ingredients to make wonderfully flavoured and presented dishes.

  Beautiful contemporary restaurant in the heart of the Ribble Valley - Absolutely lovely restaurant, serving some fantastic food - and a really great Sunday Roast !! Remarkable in every respect (food, service, ambience and value for money) and definitely worth a visit.

  Significant birthday celebrations - Breda and team provided my guests and I with a fabulous buffet as part of my 60th birthday celebrations. Food was beautifully presented and delicious and absolutely met all expectations.... read more Would recommend without hesitation.

  A wonderful Thursday lunch - We have been coming here for lunch on a Thursday for many years now, although recently we have been limited as the establishment has not always been open on that... read more day of the week. We try to visit twice a year, as despite there being many great restaurants in the Ribble Valley and surrounding area, this is our favourite.

Today (08 December) we enjoyed one of the very best luncheons that we have been treated to by Breda. Our choices for starters were Ham Hock Croquette with parsley and wholegrain mustard, celeriac remoulade and watercress and apple salad. My friend had the treacle cured salmon, beetroot pickle with lemongrass and ginger puree. The dishes were very good (mine) and excellent (my friend).

Main courses were Venison haunch steak, celeriac mash, baby onions, parsnip crisps and a redcurrant and port jus. With this I had a side of roast winter vegetables. My friend had Roast turkey breast, ballotine of leg, herb stuffing, cranberry tartlet, sage jus and traditional garnish. The venison was amazing while the turkey was rated as a very good choice.

For dessert I had Chocolate cremeaux, brandy soaked prunes with cocoa nib tuille while my friend had stem ginger pudding, honeycombe butterscotch with vanilla ice cream. Both of these were utterly fabulous, and my friend thought his was one of the very best desserts he has ever had in a restaurant!

If while reading this your mouth is watering - so it should - for we both gave our selections an excellent 29/30!! We will be talking about this exquisite meal for a long time to come (hopefully!)

Service was really excellent as always here and we are already looking forward to our next visit in 2023, if there is a Thursday availability. Once again we have no hesitation in recommending Food By Breda Murphy. It is a real gem.....

  Suday lunch with friends - Excellent service and delicious food. Nice atmosphere and comfortable. Traditional Sunday lunch was good value for money with generous portions and a good choice of main courses.

  A lovely evening meal - Wow after spending a lovely day at Bolton Abby we wanted to finish off the day with a lovely meal.
And, We were not disappointed.
We had never been... read more before and on the debrief on the way home. It was 10 out 10 . From the beautiful tender Venison to the perfectly cooked steak. The only point that you scored bad (9:5) was there were too much chocolate brownie. However,we weren’t complaining for too long From the attentive staff to the lovely atmosphere . It was a lovely night . Also , it was pleasure to see waiting staff using tea-towels to carry the hot plates .
Fantastic in every way. Well done to all

Lovely, well decorated. Polite staff. Kept it simple and ordered fish pie. It came with seasoned greens.
Well that fish pie was hotter than the core of Vesuvius. Anyway I eventually tasted it and it was delicious. Perfect. Will be back with an empty belly to do the menu justice.
