The Village Teapot - South Ribble

Had Rachel do a buffet for my husband's 70th for 30 people, it was amazing, everybody loved everything from sandwiches, Samoa's, spring rolls, chicken drumsticks, sausage rolls, onion Baja's, homemade coleslaw, and a selection of cakes, homemade scones, Choc cake, Choc brownies, lemon drizzle cake. Everything was sorted from day of ordering to picking it up. Would recommend and without a doubt use Rachel again.

Lovely cafe Nice to have toys and books to keep children entertained. Good layout in village location Food very disappointing. Despite being “home cooked” Got there after 11.30am so didn’t realise you could still order breakfast as the menu said breakfast served until 11.30am So ordered a child’s sandwich, crisps and veg Adults goat cheese panini and chips. My son is good eater, but he hardly touched his lunch, said he didn’t like it. Some of my chips were hard. Clearly they were frozen chips. Not home cooked. My panini was tasteless. I am disappointed, to say the least. The girl at the till asked me if the food was ok, and I said fine, as I don’t like to cause a scene. But for over £16 it was just not worth the money. It was a long 40 min drive for a disappointing lunch. Sorry but I won’t be going back.

This place is a hidden gem, I have driven past so many times but have just never been in. Me, my mum and sister visited and had the autumn afternoon tea for my sisters birthday, we have had many afternoon teas over the years and this is definitely one of the best we’ve had. Everything was so delicious, the sausage roll was something else and the sandwiches lovely and soft. You could tell lots of effort had gone in to every little bit. The apple crumble with warm custard part way through was a lovely surprise too and the unlimited tea and coffee is a massive bonus. A special mention must go to the lovely girls who were serving us as they are a credit to you. We can’t wait to come back again very soon. Thank you for a lovely afternoon :

I felt the need to post this review due to rhe amount I was charged for a takeaway. Two chicken salad sandwiches one scone and on Rocky Road it was £14.75 sandwiches were on bread in a box with a few crisp bit of coleslaw and salad. Safe to say I will not be going again for a sandwich.

Very friendly staff well priced and healthy portions of very tasty food. Nice surroundings and very accommodating as I am a fussy eater
