"We have given this place quite a few chances over the years as it’s such a nice setting but every time it’s been so disappointing. When we heard that the hotel had been taken over by another company and we saw a really good dining deal 2 courses for 2 people £20 although on the website now says £22) we decided to give it a try. From walking into the restaurant I knew it was not going to be what I wanted. The room is still very dated but not in a nice traditional way. Just tired and old fashioned and dark and gloomy. The views are lovely so such a shame they can’t spend a bit of money making it a little nicer. But it was busy and I only managed to get a booking by booking a few days in advance so I thought stop being picky it should be the food that is that main attraction. Well I’m sorry but probably the worst meal I’ve had in ages. All three of us thought the same. Two of us had the soup think bland hospital) and the other had fishcake. This was ok and nice little salad serving. Then onto the mains two had the chicken. Again bland and tasteless and hardly any veg on plate and swimming in an insipid clear thin gravy although you couldn’t really call it gravy). I had the blade of beef. This was utterly tasteless and in the same insipid pale sauce with minimal mash and veg. Just awful. Infact we brought the chicken home for the dog! Sorry but apart from maybe a drink in the sun on their lovely terrace we won’t be back. Proof that you get what you pay for unfortunately."

Booked a table for 9 for my husband's birthday. The service was poor. We waited almost half an hour for our orders to be taken. The vegetables were undercooked and hard and were very minimal. We will not be booking here again! View menu

I took my mother here for lunch on Mothers Day, absolutely delicious food, and real value for money. The staff are very friendly and efficient and went out of their way to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. We will certainly go again and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending to anyone.

We had a great meal here, the food was lovely. I particularly recommend the spiced gammon on the Christmas menu. The waitress, Brenda, was very pleasant. However, the state of the room meant a great meal wasn't as good as it could have been. The chairs are very low and a bit worn. The decor doesn't match with the rest of the hotel. There's a very nice room with a fireplace to have a drink but the main eating area feels more Wetherspoons than Ribble Valley pub.

We visited this evening for the February special offer two two course meals for £20. The service was prompt however the chicken main course was meant to have bacon with it everyone else’s did! . We told the waitress who told us we were wrong and that the bacon came with the salmon. We checked the menu later and she was incorrect. So my husband never got what he ordered. The starters were good and my blade of beef was excellent. My only criticism , apart from not getting what was advertised, was both meals lacked vegetables. Colour is an important facet of a meal and they really needed some greens on the plate. We told a different waitress at the end of the meal that the bacon had been missin...

"I wasn't at blueberries with my friends since before covid so it was great to kick through the door and see how busy it is, fortunately I had a table for lunch. there is nothing special vegan on the menu, but they try to place their very hardest, in contrast to some places. I love a jacket kartoffel and choose her beats with various items from the menu, so ordered frying and avocado. katherine, one of the owners and cook came on our table and said she could suggest some other dishes and also vegan cheese if I did not the jacket kartoffel, but if I still did how about the topping of sonbs. what a nice geste and I will visit her on her offer of other options at the next. I noticed that they were able to offer vegan options for their Christmas card and also had two vegan, frozen meals to take away, moussaka and chili. my friends ordered a chicken and specksalat and a fish and chips and both said that eating was delicious with a mention that the chips were the best. my kartoffel was huge, with a lot of topping, served with beautiful salat and quickly grinded. the food is made fresh to order and blueberries is very popular as full it was on a cold Wednesday afternoon. there is also a small marquee on the side of the blueberries, which for those who are brave and sitting the weather and of course adds extra space. I really can't knock blueberries, they may not have vegan options (although a cake would be nice and I need to ask if they have plant milk as I always have my own. but they will always try to eat rusty something satisfying and with announcing can something like a vegan hotpot that I had before, what was brilliant."
