Tiggis Ribble Valley

Very disappointing 😞 service was all or nothing ie. We had long gaps were we were left with nothing then 2 even 3 waitresses/waiters would ask the same question in succession....weird. Next the food, really really disappointed, very few vegetarian options, only 3 main courses, ricotta and spinach tortellini, vegetable goulash or pizza. I was expecting being an Italian for them to tell me that I could choose any dish and they'll simply makes it without the meat or fish, but no such luck. I asked 2 waitresses about vegetarian choices and they appeared a little flummoxed and pointed to the 2 dishes. I chose the tortellini, which was very bland. The starter wasn't much better, goats cheese with cereal and peppers, very weird, it appeared to have cheerios scattered ontop with what tasted like apricot jam and roasted peppers, felt like I was eating a sweet and savoury breakfast. The best thing was the Tiramisu dessert. Finally we had problems with the bill, took 3 times to get it correct. It's a very stylish place but unfortunately the food and haphazard service let it down.

Absolutely fantastic there for my mum's 85th birthday food atmosphere service and all the team brilliant many thanks to all can't wait to see you again

Not great. Mostly average food, though admittedly an amazing mussel starter. Our son had carbonara for main, which he mostly ate. I wish I'd have looked at his plate when it was served, though. It was essentially pasta and scrambled eggs ( to look at and taste), as the egg yolk had scrambled when they added it before serving. An actual chef must have seen that as they plated and thought 'that'll do', which is the most annoying thing. We couldn't complain as the daft sod ate it!

Got here after four o’clock the afternoon of Wednesday 8th June. Loads of free parking outside. Entrance easily accessible even if you have mobility issues. I opted for the 3 course offer from the Table d’Hote evening menu. This menu changes at four o’clock. My brother choose to get just a pizza. For starter got the Calamari. Very good portion and tasted fresh and served very hot. Probably enough for 2 people. For mains I ordered the Pizza Piccantina. My brother ordered the Pizza Piccadilly which was supposed to be ‘ very hot.’ Pizzas were very generous portions, plenty of toppings and base was lovely and fresh. Mine had loads of chilli's on it and I really enjoyed. It was quite spicy. My brothers which was supposed to be very hot didn’t seem to have as many chilli’s on it as mine did. He was a little disappointed but still the pizzas were very enjoyable and filling. For dessert I got cheesecake. Very tasty and moreish. Again a very good portion. The espresso was probably one of the strongest we had ever tasted but had already started to go cool so little disappointed with that. Overall very impressed. I will definitely be giving this establishment another visit even thought it’s out of the way for me. Portions are excellent and the set menu great value for money. One or two very minor quibbles hence 4 stars but then I very seldom give anywhere 5. All in all I would have no hesitation in recommending this establishment for an late afternoon, early evening satisfying meal that doesn’t cost a fortune. Please read review of our second visit and why I have changed my rating to five stars. We returned on the afternoon of Wednesday August 3rd. Had another excellent meal at a very reasonable price. For drinks ordered a pint of Moretti at £5.50. A very nice 250ml glass of house red at £6.25 and a sparkling mineral water at £2.80. Great not to get ripped off on non alcoholic drinks. I had the three course option, my brother had the two course. My starter of meat balls was supposed to be spicy. I didn’t find it so but was still tasty and the sauce very rich. The bread was lovely. Tasted so fresh and our waiter, I think he was the manager or one of the owners, confirmed they baked their own bread fresh on the premises every day. Pizzas were again excellent. Thin crust really crisp and tasty. For dessert I again went for the lime and lemon cheesecake and my brother had profiteroles. Seemed to be a bit of a delay serving these but when they arrived we could see why. The presentation was top notch. Not normally one for dessert but the cheesecake here is lovely. We were stuffed after our meals. Again another great dining experience at a very affordable price. I would have no hesitation based on our two visits recommending Tiggis. I will certainly be going back. Based on this second visit I have changed my rating to five stars. I’m unable to leave a second review as it seems to delete the first one if you try to do so. So hopefully anyone reading this will understand why my rating has gone from four to five stars.

Went early afternoon for a late lunch. We had our 2 dogs with us. Unfortunately the outside seating area wasnt open but the manager was very helpful and offered the outside "canopy" (smoking) area, which we accepted. Had the 2 couse option for £17.95. Portions were large and food was delicious. Staff were lovely. Would highly recomend.
