The food was lovely. Unfortunately we ordered an expensive bottle of white wine which at best was luke warm. Whoever runs the cellar/bar needs to rectify this, we asked for ice for the wine, but it was almost undrinkable
The Whitchaff Inn – RawtenstallDecent, home cooked, quality food. Not much vegetarian choice.
The Whitchaff Inn – RawtenstallThis was our first visit to the restaurant… we had booked a table for 3 at 8:30pm. We turned up 5 minutes early and was told the table will be ready in 5 minutes by the bartender. This was fine except he proceeded to carry on with what he was doing, leaving us just stood there, without any offer of drinks in the meantime. A lady behind the bar then jumped in and said, it will be at least an hour’s wait for food, we have big tables in. She did say apologise but with that we decided to leave with them looking relieved. Considering we booked a table, an hours wait for food is appalling. If you can’t cope with the numbers in the restaurant then stop taking bookings. Luckily it wasn’t a special occasion but this could ruin some peoples special days!
The Whitchaff Inn – RawtenstallAte at 8pm on Friday 3rd March. 2nd visit since return. 2 of us. Good menu choice not the bog std borimg menu like elsewhere eg Duckworth Arms. Good food and service Only 1 major complaint. We were told on arrival there would be an hour wait for food due to two large tables in the other room. Surely the staff knew they had 2 large tables in the night before and should surely be set up to deal with that so as not to ruin a night out for other diners. Will go again but any restaurant should be setup to cater for large tables of 15 if they accept bookings of that size. Staff were attentive as much as they could be
The Whitchaff Inn – RawtenstallSteak cold had to order another one, Because we complained the young lad behind the bar thought it was funny to keep looking at us and sniggering with the tall girl, not one manager or owner of the pub available just these left to run the place , it was such a lovely place to eat before it was refurbished over priced food !!
The Whitchaff Inn – RawtenstallWe had lunch on a Saturday afternoon. I've had the set lunch before, which is fantastic but decided to try some dishes I haven't had before. I am so glad we did. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection, the mushroom dish was amazing as well as everything else. The food is such quality and worth every penny. The staff are lovely from the minute you walk in. They are attentive without being overly so and we weren't rushed through. I would highly recommend this place. The surroundings, the staff and the food are perfect.
A’Vucciria – RawtenstallTerrible bland food, steak was cold and not cooked to my liking, brought it back still the same, 1 onion ring 1 Tomatoes 1 mushrooms oven chips, after my complaints the staff all knew what had happened and the young lad behind the bar thought it was funny to keep looking at us, there was not manager around to complaint, will never come over priced cheap food !!
The Whitchaff Inn – RawtenstallVisit this place over and over and it honestly never ever fails. Unbelievable food as always (goats cheese special was divine) and atmosphere and service were just perfect. It’s our 100% recommendation to anyone that asks where to visit locally.

A’Vucciria – RawtenstallWent for dinner with my husband on the Sunday evening - no Sunday roast dinner left - note to self - go earlier for a roast dinner ! . Lovely decor and atmosphere - staff friendly and attentive. I had the fish and chips - lovely - not greasy and a decent size portion - hubby had the meat pie - asked for more gravy - and he got a big jug , he said it was lovely and tasty. Will definitely visit again - thank you.
The Whitchaff Inn – RawtenstallA very warm welcome, the food was lovely and the staff were very helpful and accommodating
The Whitchaff Inn – RawtenstallCame here for my mum’s birthday. The food was good apart from the steaks were cold but the chef rectified the situation quickly. No rush at the table; it was clearly very busy. Only problem was the service was slow and a bit
The Whitchaff Inn – RawtenstallGreat food, great service and a really lovely, warm and inviting pub!
The Whitchaff Inn – RawtenstallExcellent service and even better food all contained within a lovely atmosphere. Had 6 different items served as well as drinks and I was there only about 30-40 minutes from start to finish.
A’Vucciria – RawtenstallLovely atmosphere. Nice polite and attentive staff with very quick service. Food was absolute delicious. Only one criticism was with the selection of cured meats, which came with a very measly two pieces of bread which was terribly insufficient for the amount of salami etc. The meatballs were delicious, and came in a lovely sauce, but again had to ask for more bread as I wanted to soak up that delicious meatball sauce. I will definitely be revisiting, but I'll make sure in advance about the bread. Lol.
