Gotta love this place...been coming here since it opened in 1985 ?? Italian food at its best! Bon apetito X

Best Italian meal I have had outside Italy.

Have to comment on what a lovely lunch we had at the Freemasons last weekend. It was totally on spec -- had taken my mother shopping in Whalley and thought we would give this place a try. So glad we did. No reservation but the staff were welcoming and very courteous. Gave us a lovely table and we chose from the set-price lunch menu (2 courses for £15), both of us starting with the Pearl barley risotto and following up with a melt-in-your-mouth slow-cooked lamb dish. Food of the highest quality and great value. Good choice of wines by the glass too which we took full advantage of. Can’t wait to go back in the evening and try the a la carte.

A while since I’ve been here and it just seems to keep growing and growing. The food hall is fab with an interesting wine shop whilst upstairs there is furniture and clothes leading across to the restaurant. We only dropped in for a coffee on a Saturday morning but it was very pleasant with some big leather sofas to sink into. Have to say though I was very surprised at the number of people here eating breakfast at 11am. Not bleary-eyed students after a night out but middle-aged and elderly couples!

We loved our Sunday lunch at the Town Green Brasserie yesterday. My soup and roast chicken were gorgeous as was my sponge pudding. My wife and kids seemed very happy with their choices too!

So glad we found this place on Sugarvine for my mates 30th. Great night, great place and great place!

Excellent food and value. 2 meals for £10 and 2 courses too. Its was delicious and out weighs the cost. Tremendous value and fabulous service. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Great place,lovely staff always up for a lauzgh good variety of meals,must try their plate meat pie, thanks to jimmy,ling and li

Really like this pub. Awesome views over the water and Lakeland fells in the distance. Could sit there all day

My son took me for Mothers Day and what a wonderful afternoon it was. Lovely service and the food was fab. A lamb roast, pot pie and venison were enjoyed by all! In a lovely pub with views over Longridge fell at the back

Fabulous food and fabulous staff.

Went today wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was reminded me of what fish chips and peas tasted like 20 years ago.. The fish is very big we had the special and just about finished it with peas and curry sauce thanks mother Hubbard

Purchased a voucher from the bee, would not return, ordered scampi and chips, the chips were not cooked properly and the scampi did not even taste like scampi , would not recommend to anybody.

Was ok, not the best Sunday lunch ever .Staff were excellent and Peroni on tap made up for it.

We visited La Vespa last week and was talked into what the waiter recommend. As we were originally going for the meal deal The bill came to £95 with two course and two bottles of wine and the waiter couldn't do enough for us. So this week we went for the meal deal with one bottle of wine, the bill came to £50 bearing in mind the meal deal is £29.95. So I thought maybe the wine didn't apply with the meal deal any longer. So I checked online and it does so we were charged for the wine on top of the meal deal price. And this visit the waiter couldn't be bothered with us. I'm assuming that it was because we were having the cheapo menu. Very disappointed.

Plato's is a fine establishment! Great food and drink in the heart of this lovely village.

Love love this place. Had a gorgeous lunchtime meal there yesterday looking out a beautiful views of the Lancashire countryside. A regular haunt that I always recommend to others so I thought I would do that on Sugarvine too :)

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.
