Boddington Arms - Ribble Valley

I stopped off for a meal on my way home from a business trip. Service was very friendly and efficient, without being pushy. I had a couple of questions about a couple of the dishes and my server was able to answer one and double-checked the other with the kitchen quickly. I ordered the starter of King Scallops on crispy bacon with a pea puree and turned it into a main course by adding sides of chunky chips and Orzo side salad. Both of the side dishes were generous portion sizes and the chips were some of the best I've ever tasted. The scallops were cooked just right, the bacon was crispy, and the pea puree excellent. I really enjoyed the meal, and at just over £18 as effectively a main meal felt it was well worth it. Beer was also very good. I also really liked the fact that tables were laid out with reasonable space between them so it did not feel crowded.

Booked The Bluebird Inn for my 80th birthday celebration,from first contacting the Inn we found the General Manager Peter very friendly and and helpful, the area of the Inn suggested for us was perfect for our needs giving us plenty of space to accommodate all our guests and room to socialise. We chose buffet number 2 and we were not disappointed the food was excellent both in quality and quantity on the day the staff went out of their way to ensure myself and my guests had an enjoyable afternoon.

A well appointed, pleasant place with pheasants wandering round. The food was excellent didn't pretend to be Michelin starred but was priced appropriately. Wine was also very good at sensible prices. Overall experience excellent so would happily go again. We were having a night out at the nearby Salmesbury Hall and this was a great place to dine as there are no evening dining facilities there.

Stayed as we were attending a wedding nearby. Arrived to a warm welcome. Room was lovely and had everything we needed. It was warm and very spacious and had lots of places to put luggage in. It also was very clean and comfortable. We did not have dinner there however breakfast was delicious and very accommodating for everyone and staff were lovely. Other features included were free wifi, freeview TV and electric car chargers, which were not advertised but worked and saved us from having to go somewhere else. Booking was very easy, check-in was done prior to getting there. Very good value. Would definitely recommend.

A truly great find , business meeting arranged and a first time for all of us ! We were greeted by the staff who where very professional and looked after our every need ! Breakfast on arrival with the the use of a lovely private room for the day ! Lunch was a delight also . Thank you Very much and we will certainly return ! HS
