I've only ever been in the function/banquet room (The Churchill Rooms) and the pub part of it so I…read morecan't comment on it's facilities as a hotel (although friends have said it's very good). I had lunch, dinner and several stiff drinks in the Swan & Royal. The staff are very friendly and the owner, Terry, seems a good sort. I recommend the Steak Pie & Chips and a pint of Clitheroe's Finest (avoid the Banks' Bitter, it's rank) from the board of fayre. It's in a great location in the middle of the town. The Friday night in the Swan & Royal is something to behold. The best way I can describe it is if Take Me Out and Jeremy Kyle had a cheesy 80s/90s disco together. The only downside is that the spirits were a 1/5th gill (25 ml) and that's not worth the price IMHO.

Mitton Hall is a 15th century countryside manor converted into a hotel, event venue, and restaurant…read morewith plenty of opportunity for luxury and elegance. It sits in Ribble Valley and still holds much of the original foundation. There are frequent events, such as themed teas and dinners, workshops, Christmas festivities, and wedding showcases. There is plenty of parking and a lot of space for weddings, large events, conferences, etc. We came here for a Saturday night dinner with friends. There was a wedding going on which seemed to take up much of the foyer and bar area, but luckily we came right after they moved into the large event space joining the bar. I'm not sure why wedding guests are mixed with the general public bar/dining areas - that seems to be a flaw here. Dinner was very much ~okay~, but I was kind of expecting a lot more given how luxurious and historical this venue is. The service was very slow and inattentive. Food was average. A few staff were hard at work while others just stood there chatting. When we were given dessert wine instead of port, we were told we were wrong and had to essentially convince the server to switch our incorrect drinks out - which should never happen at a nice restaurant. I give this venue a good rating due to the ambiance, but I certainly would recommend vast improvement in service.

What a beautiful place the Ribble Valley is. And Mitton Hall is no exception…read more Built hundreds of years ago in the era of Henry the Seventh, it is a grand old Hall/Manor house that offers a lovely setting, individually decorated Suites (the Mitton and Ribble are my favorites) that have views over landscape ahead, a highly rated restaurant downstairs that serves delicious, wonderfully prepared dishes made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients from the markets and butchers, along with a fantastic little pub that offers locally brewed beers and a wide array of wines and spirits served by warm, friendly, genuinely helpful staff. We will be back. Often.

We ordered at 5.45 - the bangers and mash tasted elegant - 3 large butchers sausages on top of a pile of mash and lashings of onion gravy. The steak pudding was generously filled and rich. The proper chips were also very good. My only complaint...it's a tad pricey, could do with knocking a couple of quid off the price of the main meals.

As with many a pub in a small village, the menu is a bit all over the place, though I suppose I…read morecan't blame them for trying to please as many people as possible. To start we shared some bread with oil and vinegar, and some pea and wasabi hummus. The bread was all very tasty, however I'm not convinced the hummus wasn't just spicy cold mushy peas. It wasn't awful but not something I'd want to eat again. For my main I had the seabass with parma ham and angel hair pasta with a lemon and cream sauce. The fish was beautifully cooked. The pasta was also delicious though a very large portion - sounds an odd complaint but there was just so so so much of it! There was also a spicy salami (or similar cured meat) in the pasta which for me didn't quite make sense with the rest of the dish and again was in a huge quantity. I feel like without the meat, with a bit less pasta and maybe with some sort of green veg it would have been perfect. That sounds very nitpicky I know - overall it was a very impressive meal with a delicious piece of fish. No desserts as we had cheese and cupcakes back at the cottage we were staying in nearby. My share of the bill came to roughly £25 excluding tip. I'd recommend it here if you're staying nearby!
