Featured Rimington Restaurants
1. La Locanda
Italian restaurant in Gisburn
Main Street - BB7
“The closest you will get to a true Italian Restaurant, without leaving the UK” – Maurizio and Cinzia Bocchi’s “discreet and intimate” “landmark of authentic Italian cooking” occupies a converted weaver’s cottage on the A59 in the Ribble Valley, and is “rare (if not unique) in the north” in terms of its genuine style and high level of accomplishment. Don’t expect pizza – the repertoire is faithfully north Italian and there’s a wide selection of Italian wines, beers and aperitivi. (Although the restaurant runs events supporting Italian produce – for example for olive oil importers – Maurizio is also Marketing Lancashire’s ‘Taste Lancashire Ambassador’ and over 80% of the restaurant’s produce is locally sourced).
3. The Assheton Arms
Fish & seafood restaurant in Clitheroe
2021 Review: This “lovely gastropub in the pretty village of Downham, under the shadow of Pendle Hill” is part of Jocelyn Neve’s Seafood Pub Company – the interior has been “completely renovated”, but retains a proper atmosphere with its “roaring fires”. Views on its performance diverged a little last year: most reports suggest the “excellent fish and seafood is definitely worth going for”, but a couple of mixed reports (“good but not as good as it was”; “trying hard but no organisation”) sound a warning note.
4. Coach And Horses
British, Modern restaurant in Bolton By Bowland
Main Street - BB7
In a “lovely setting in an archetypically unspoilt Ribble Valley village, complete with stocks on the village green”, Susan Lord and Dutch husband Ko Labeij’s slick village inn is a “wonderful find” by all accounts; “the menu reads well: simple and manageable” pub classics (or more adventurous tasting menus on Fri & Sat nights), and it’s a proper boozer too – “now with its own microbrewery” tapping the local well water in its 4 Mice ales.
