It really pains me to write this review. I've been coming to the whitchaff since childhood and it's always been amazing. In a lot of ways, it still is amazing, but I've felt a little disappointed the last 2 times I've been. The refurbishment is lovely, although I think it's lost a little but of its character. The staff are lovely, very friendly, but just lack a little something. Maybe it's just lack of experience or a little more training is required. A few smiles would be great. The food, there is a lot of it, but both times, my food has been very oily, maybe the fat hasn't been hot enough when the food has gone in. This has left me with an upset tummy on both occasions. The atmosphere is always really buzzy, but sometimes seems a bit chaotic. It would definitely be amazing value for money, with a few little changes. A few little tweaks could make The Whitchaff really amazing. I hope this doesn't upset anybody, as I know you all work so hard, but sometimes it's just the little things that make something fabulous.

Astoria – BurnleyBirthday meal for my wife- fabulous food and atmosphere. Fizz chilling when we arrived. I had the mackerel and pheasant from the specials board and my wife had cheese soufflé and sea bass. We were recommended carrots as a side dish by Ben our lovely waiter……. They were amazing!! Can’t print what I actually said. Just try them. Finished our meal by sharing the special pannacotta and Team Tom gave a lovely birthday cake to my wife- customer service at its best. Thank you team Tom! We will be back very soon x
Toms Table – ClitheroeA great meal as usual! Great quality, great price,great customer service
The Whitchaff Inn – RawtenstallExcellent food and service.
Toms Table – ClitheroeVerdes is our happy place, we always enjoy going, but went on Friday and the Service was awful, we waited over 30 minutes between starter and main and only due to a waiter noticing us sat there and going to the chef's did we get our main, which was not as good as usual, possible rushed due them forgetting us. We were so disappointed we didn't stay for dessert and coffee which we usually do. They need to look at this as it is not good practice. Think we will give a miss for a whilkem, which really upsets me
Verdes Restaurant – ChorleyThe food, service and atmosphere are all fantastic. We eat here regularly and it is one of our favourite places!
Site Pizzeria – TodmordenAmazing food and excellent service
Toms Table – Clitheroe4 of us had a table booked at 5pm for 2 hours. When we arrived, someone was sat at our table, it took around 15 minutes before we were sat down. As the Rugby was on, it was understandably busy however, even as we arrived at the table, there weren't enough seats around it and we had to find them ourselves. We then went to use the 'order to table' QR code but it wouldn't work. When ordering at the bar, we were then told it was a minnimum of 1.5 hours wait for food. This is not only ridiculous but, would have meant our food would arrive after we had to vacate the table. There was no mention of this by the bar staff, or the reluctant member of staff that pointed us to our table. We left. It was a shame as its usually always been a good experience here, last night was just extremely disappointing.
Wings & Beer Co – PrestonAmazing tapas!! Always great food at bread and butter x
Bread and Butter – PrestonAmazing tapas!! Always great food at bread and butter x
Bread and Butter – PrestonWe have been a couple of times, and both times have been excellent. First time was Saturday lunch. It was quiet and relaxing. Second time was Saturday evening. It was very busy and had a vibrant and buzzing atmosphere. The food is absolutely amazing along with the service. The staff were always happy and nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommended
