Red Pump Inn

We stayed for 2 nights at the Red Pump Inn with two other couples and two dogs for our annual walking weekend. From our very warm welcome to our very friendly goodbye we all felt very satisfied with our stay. The rooms are very comfortable and clean, tea and coffee making tray (and a winner for me a cafetiere), bathroom stocked with toiletries, fluffy towels...... Bed was great, we both slept well! We had booked in for a meal on the Friday evening and decided very quickly to book in for the Saturday too (be warned they do get busy so if you want a table get it booked early) The dogs were allowed to be with us in certain areas of the bar and snug room which was great for us as they were able to settle while we ate. Menu was varied with enough choice for us all, they even adapted a meal for one of the party who likes her meals plain. I had the fillet steak (medium rare) which was cooked to perfection, hubby commented that it was a little underdone for him which was fine with me as I wasn't about to share!!! :-) Everyone else in the party enjoyed their food too, we all loved the cheeseboard (good variety and quantity - one of my biggest gripes is a stingy cheese board - this one is definitely not that.... ) wine is reasonably priced and a good selection of ales for the men to choose from. Plenty of walking to be done from the Inn, Fran provided us with a print out of a walk which was a little challenging in places due to rain washing the path away, but it was manageable, we did feed this info back but none of us would have missed it, views and peace time to breath from our busy lives. Jonathan, Fran and their staff are all great, very friendly and accommodating, saying goodbye to our friends in the carpark we all said we will return and soon and we haven't felt like that about a place for a few years. (ha ha sorry gang we will be back ;-)........ A little gem in wonderful countryside.

Excellent Sunday lunch Good choice of menu at a reasonable price.The quality of the food is also of a high standard and served with a modern twist. All the staff were very friendly with good service. Certainly worth a visit.

Had family meal which was excellent. Brilliant atmosphere with very friendly staff. Perfect Sunday lunch.

The best steak ever! Really ! I had the 90 day matured ribeye and quite simply it was delicious. Lovely,friendly atmosphere, excellent service in a beautiful area of The Ribble Valley .

Great food, great rooms, friendly staff and good service. Steak gets 11 out of 10! Stayed overnight and very comfortable indeed. Breakfast also superb can't wait until next time. Thanks Fran.

Went to the red pump inn for a birthday meal - just 6 of us. Food was excellent, especially the nibbles. Service very good. Great atmosphere.

We all enjoyed our meals at The Red Pump, and the steaks were to die for. The staff were friendly and the service was good.

Warm & friendly inn. 6 of us went for my birthday and we could not have had a better time. Went Friday evening, cold and dismal outside but warm atmosphere inside with roaring fire. Candle in my dessert and all the diners sang Happy Birthday, very embarrassing but lovely touch. Would like to go back on a summer evening to look at the views.

Very warm welcome and helpful staff. Great food although roast beef was a bit poor. Otherwise everything was excellent. Warm and cosy with lovely fires.

10/10 for food quality, taste and service. We all had the 3 course Sunday Roast and we were all of the same opinion. We will recommend Red Pump Inn and we will be back!

We timed our visit to the red pump well, it was our 35th wedding anniversary and st Patrick's day which gave us a taste of a live band playing at the pub which was amazing. Fran and Jonathan are the perfect hosts and no request is too small, the restaurant is cosy and warm especially when the fires are lit, with amazing food and staff that certainly know what they are doing. All in all a fantastic place to eat and stay.

Would highly recommend the Red Pump - the food, bedrooms and all round ambience of the place is lovely. Wouldn’t hesitate to return, the team couldn’t do enough for us.

Busy pub/restaurant with great food. Good choice of drinks - in our case beers and gins. Great atmosphere too, with unexpected live music for St Patrick's Day. Well worth a visit.

Great atmosphere, wonderful, personal service. The owners made us feel very welcome. The food was excellent and very prompt service considering it was Mothers Day.

Very good food and lovely atmosphere. Wasn't too busy so we got a table OK. Definitely going back next time we want a Sunday roast.

Exellent food and service in beautiful location. This restaurant prides itself on its food particularly its range of steaks and it does not disappoint. We will be visiting again very soon. Well done Red Pump

It was fantastic we really enjoyed it, nicely decorated, great range of cask ales, open fires, great food and efficient friendly service...what more could you ask for?

Just perfect. A lovely pub wuth a great menu and good value for money. The staff are lovely and had a nice smile :) I can highly recommend the mussels and the mushroom souffle!

Visited the Red Pump on my boyfriends birthday over Christmas and had the Best steak I have ever eaten melted in my mouth can’t wait to return 😀excellent

Excellent service, and excellent food. No better steak in the Ribble Valley. Ginger Pig steak, cooked to perfection, just melts in the mouth, definitely a favourite place to go

All round excellence. 5* food as well as 5* staff....The Red Pump Inn has a welcoming friendly atmosphere. I've been to many pubs in the ribble valley and nothing has yet compared to the Red Pump

This place was highly recommended by friends. The service was fantastic and very fast. Good selection of drinks and food was lovely. We both had steak :-)

Excellent service and gorgeous food! Dog friendly too, that's nice to see in such a nice place. Well priced for the quality of food too

Top rating for a top meal, excellent friendly and helpful service, couldn’t fault it for a night away from home + dinner and breakfast. Thank you.

We had a very enjoyable experience for our group of seven with vegan options provided for one of our party. Great beers, food and friendly staff encouraged a second visit during our weeks stay in the Forest of Bowland.

We went to the restaurant with friends for a birthday meal. Fantastic food, warm atmosphere, great service and friendly staff. Highly recommend, we will be returning.

We had a superb meal at the Red Pump last night. The atmosphere was good and the food and service was superb. We were greeted as soon as we entered and were made to feel very welcome.

Got it right at the Red Pump since the new owners took over atmosphere, staff and of course the food spot on enjoyable evening on Saturday

In our opinion The Red Pump is offering the best Sunday Roast in the Ribble Valley. We had the Roast Rib of Beef which was perfectly cooked and served by friendly staff.

great place great food beer on good form best to book a table first then just turning up gets very busy quickly great staff very friendly

The meal was fantastic and staff were very attentive. Probably the best steak I have had for a long time the restaurant is well worth a visit.

Superb meal! The best ribeye steak I've had in a long time. Excellent, friendly service even though they where very busy with a large party

First class venue, food, atmosphere and service. We can recommend the steaks. Best we've had for so e time. Thoroughly enjoyable evening. Will definitely return.

I would have liked slightly more choice on the menu but after saying all that it is a steak house and my ribeye was delicious.

We had a family meal at the red pump and i must say it was amazing the steaks are to die for , could not fault it in any way . The service was excellent and everything came with a smile . would highly recommend The red Pump

The food was fabulous. Staff and customer service was just as good - it was perfect :). They couldn't have done anything more for us - even provided reading glasses!!!!!!

Lovely Sunday lunch with the family, will return to try the full menu soon. Beautiful location, yurts look interesting for an overnight stay didn't see the bedrooms!

Had a lovely 2 night stay. Lovely oldy worldly building. Land lady and staff very friendly and couldn't have been more welcoming. Had a lovely breakfast on both days and excellent evening meal. Fabulous stay would highly recommend.

Really enjoyed our last minute visit. Good atmosphere ,excellent service and top class Sunday Roast. Will definitely be returning soon to sample the Steak menu.

Very warm and welcoming with good choice of food. The service is good with staff being helpful, pleasant and efficient. The ambience in the dining room is nice and it's a very relaxing and comfortable venue.
