Reviews in Rawtenstall

Visited with my sister - her first visit, what was there not to love? Fabulous, tasty food, the staff were attentive and we really felt looked after, great atmosphere…. Yet again, can’t fault it….. will be back to bring in my 50s in May!!! Thank you!

Been a couple of times since the refurbishment, quite regular visitors. Had friends over from Yorkshire and took them for lunch. They were wowed by the menu choices. Had a fabulous lunch, food outstanding and lovely service. Will be visiting there soon

We have not been here for quite sometime. What a fabulous place, beautiful decor, meal and service were superb. Will be coming back.

Not been in since the conversion. WOW! Rather than just a pub, the place now feels like a high end bistro. Beautifully finished. We had a nice meal, the staff were pleasant and the play list was amazing - just right. We will definitely be back.

Excellent food and good service. An enjoyable experience.

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere with wonderful staff. Such a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon with family. Thank you.

Of of the best pub lunch experiences I have had. Beautiful pub, great friendly staff and the food is stunning. Highly recommend the cheese and onion pie, best pie iv eaten. The only reason I have rated the food a 4 instead of 5 is because they’ve recent lot taken off the menu apple and blackberry crumble which was out of this world - please bring it back whitchaff!

We had dinner here last night - the first time we’ve been since the refurb. We loved the new look restaurant/ bar and the food was excellent - so much better in quality and interest than typical pub grub. Really good value for money. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Fabulous as always. We were a group of five including one requiring a GF menu. We ordered a good selection including the sirloin, king prawns, aubergine special, lamb kebabs and carrot dishes. Everything above and the other dishes we ordered were just delicious and could not be faulted. Tasty food, great atmosphere and excellent service. Looking forward to coming back soon!

The new layout and new renovation is stunning. Service is great, food is great, really good portion sizes and very good quality!

An absolute gem of a place to eat, talk, drink and be happy. The food is always excellently made, presented, served and tastes great. A great atmosphere and very professional staff adds to the Cicchetti experience.

Once again a delicious meal at A'vucciria. We went on easter Monday with friends. The place was jam packed. Despite this the service was excellent as always, the staff are very friendly and accommodating even when they are flat out. Delicious food, my brother particularly loves the spare ribs in smokey BBQ sauce. I have a constant craving for their seafood whether its their chargrilled octopus, huge garlic prawns or juicy oysters natural. This time we tried a few different dishes, lamb kebabs with yoghurt sauce, chic pea fritters and a crunchy green bean dish topped with gooey melting cheese. I love how its served tapas style but the portions are much larger than usual tapas. We had dessert for a change. An enormous cannoli filled with sweet ricotta, pistachios, orange zest and choc chips. It was delicious. I honestly dont have a bad word to say about this restaurant and I eat put locally a couple of times a week.

Excellent food and service as always. Authentic Italian tapas, highly recommended.

This was by far the best pub lunch I’ve had. We went on a busy Easter Monday but the service was still flawless and the food really delicious. Fresh, homemade with lots of flavour and a great choice of specials. The pub itself had a lovely layout and we had a great cosy spot by the fire. Highly recommend visiting. In the summer I am sure it will be beautiful to sit outside with the views over the valley.

A lovely atmosphere & great service. The staff are friendly & professional & the food was delicious.

Great meal, good service and really enjoyed everything. A little rushed as they're very busy ( for very good reason) requiring tables for new customers. Fully understand why this should be the case. All restaurants have to maximise their financial return these days and I wish Whitchaff well in this. They deserve to succeed.

We had a very enjoyable Sunday afternoon meal at the Whitchaff yesterday. The staff were really well informed as to the meals and couldn't have done more to make us feel at home and comfortable. My steak and stilton pie was so good, rich, tasty, and very satisfying. My wife said her lamb special was the tastiest she had had very a long while and really well cooked. The afternoon was so good I have already booked to return at the end of the month with a number of friends. well done to everyone involved, looking forward to our return.

Fantastic food in great surroundings. A lovely birthday celebration.
