A great spot for breakfast in Waddington - next door down from the Waddie Arms…read more It's small and cozy and our party of 10 pretty much took over the front area. As fast paced city folk (from DC and Hong Kong), it seemed like the food and coffee came out a bit slowly but it gave us a minute to sit down, relax and remember that we don't need to be in a rush ALL of the time. I had a full English - my first of the trip - and it was delicious -- I substituted the black pudding for an extra egg. The yolks were so orange and the butter on toast so yellow -- just a little reminder that all is right in the world. Mmmhmm.

We are in Clitheroe visiting family at least twice a year and we never miss stopping in…read moreShackleton's to have a look around the gift shop and then have lunch in the Pavilions cafe. We were in today and I was a bit disappointed at the new menu, mostly because the croque monsieur is always my go-to. I had the beef brisket instead and it was very nice. Everyone at our table was pleased with our food. We didn't have hot drinks today but stopped in for coffees a few days ago and they were as gorgeous and tasty as always! My only critique-I keep hoping they will add noise reducing panels to the ceiling. It is very noisy and hard to even have a conversation at times when it is busy, which is most times!

At 4.30pm on Saturday 22 January, we drove by Shackletons and decided to bob into the Pavilion…read morecoffee shop and restaurant, part of Shackleton's garden centre. The garden centre and coffee house was open until 5.30pm according to the opening hours displayed on the door but staff clearly wanted to get out early and didn't appreciate us making this that bit more difficult. When we walked in, they looked at us as though we'd just arrived by Boeing and ordered a five course meal but were visibly relieved yet still a little disgruntled when we ordered hot chocolates. Just a few minutes after, a cheesed off looking blonde woman brought over our chocolate which I have to say, was gorgeous; served in a large mug with a generous dusting of chocolate and a complimentary, bizarre tasting biscuit. However, it was difficult to enjoy when she immediately turned on the vacuum cleaner and started vacuuming round our feet, making conversation almost impossible. At the same time, another happy staff member wiped tables around us and started moving and scraping tables and chairs. They could not have made us feel any more unwelcome if they had stood beside the table repeatedly asking, Are you finished yet? Have you finished? Come on hurry up. We're closing We were finished by just after 5.00pm and even before we'd manage to get our coats on, staff started wiping our table and rearranging the chairs. The coffee house entrance leads back into the main entrance of the garden centre and three staff members eyed us and were visibly annoyed when I decided to nip to the loo before we left and one muttered that they'd just been cleaned so mind the wet floor. The toilet floor was wet however, nothing else in there looked like it had been cleaned for days. The soap dispenser was actually dusty, as were the waste and sanitary bins and the towel dispenser. When I came out of the loos and we exited the main building, staff started locking up and switching off before we'd even made it to the car park and it was still only 5.15pm. For those who aren't familiar with Shackletons, it is an incredibly overpriced and have-yourself-on home and garden centre. The prices there are extortionate and extend to the Pavilion coffee shop and restaurant so it's no surprise I'm not remotely impressed with the way staff treat customers with contempt. Next time we're fancying a hot chocolate, it'll be ASDA cafe. At least £1 cheaper and served by staff who will at least pretend they're pleased to see you.

Came here with my boyfriend for anniversary brunch (well breakfast technically because they only do…read morebrunch on a Sunday) and had the vegetarian breakfast plate. This consisted of eggs (I chose poached), vegetarian black pudding, beans, toast, hash browns and grilled tomatoes. I opted to swap the mushrooms (ugh) for spinach. It was good overall. One of my eggs wasn't runny which was a shame and the whole breakfast was lukewarm, but the black pudding was really tasty. It had pearl barley in it and really did taste similar for real black pudding which was clever. My boyfriend thought they were a bit stingy on the beans. I had a spiced chai latte with almond milk (nice but not hot enough) and my boyfriend had a luxury hot chocolate which came with cream and a flake (he could have had marshmallows too). The place has a great ambience and feels very chilled out. The service is excellent and it has a really cute deli and shop attached to it. Definitely worth a visit as there are not many great places for brunch in the Ribble Valley.

Ladies that Lunch! This weekend we 3 Ladies (no laughing)…read morewent for a drive into Lancashire and stumbled across the village of Whalley. Whilst browsing the shops and buying random things we don't really need we found a Deli called Benedicts. It had a great selection of local produce;chutneys, pork pies, artisan breads etc and attached to the Deli was its own restaurant. Impressed with the selection of produce and surroundings we opted to eat there. After only a few minutes a table was available for us and sat down to peruse the menu. To start we ordered Antipasti to share and for mains we ordered Seafood Linguini, Chicken Skewers with Stir Fry and Home Made Fish Pie. After 20 minutes our drinks arrived and after waiting an hour and asking where our food was our Antipasti arrived! It was lovely but waiting an hour for something so simple didn't fill me with joy. Both the Linguini and Fish Pie were good and sizeable portions but the Chicken (I think it was chicken anyway) was terrible. The stir fry whick consisted of 2 leaves of bok choy on someting beige, was overcooked and 3 tiny skewers of meat. When you've waited well over an hour at this point, it just isn't good enough and we were hungry! My main issue with this restaurant is the service. Its REALLY poor and very disorganised. There were plenty of staff but nobody knew what was going on, tables weren't cleared and the they don't know the meaning of attentive. I don't want someone constantly asking if everything is ok, but just once would have been acceptable. I felt like I lost half of my weekend just on a lunch! Like I said, food (apart from Chicken Skewers with Stir Fry) was good. Just don't pop in and think you'll be able to have a quick lunch!!
