About This Pub

You know, when you step into the Bonny Inn, it's like finding that perfect spot for a proper pub day out – it's got this charming village feel with stunning views of the Ribble Valley that just make you want to linger. The food really stands out; everything's homemade and sourced from local suppliers, so you're getting fresh, flavoursome dishes whether it's a hearty Sunday roast, a vegan option, or something for the little ones. I love how they've got such a diverse menu that caters to everyone, and the staff are just brilliant, always chatting and ensuring you're looked after without being over the top. It's even dog-friendly, which is great if you're out for a walk and fancy a break. On the downside, it's only open five days a week, so you might have to plan ahead if you're not free on the weekends, and sorting a booking for a bigger group involves a deposit, which can be a tad inconvenient. All in all, it's a cracking little place that does most things right, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a go if you're in the area – just be prepared for it to win you over!

Exceptional pub and food. Came here today from Preston. First time and won’t be the last. The Sunday roast beef was excellent! Every item of food, which was plentiful, was delicious. The staff so nice and friendly. I can’t recommend the Bonny Inn enough. Thanks for superb service 😄

Another absolutely fantastic visit to The Bonny Inn. It's my birthday weekend, and so I wanted a 'treat yourself' meal out. The food and service at the Bonny were absolutely top notch. Bonus of a singer on as well which I hadn't seen in advance, and he was brilliant too! I highly recommend the steak and always, always have the Chocolate Bar if it's on the menu. Simply heavenly!

We stopped at the Bonny Inn to break our journey from Yorkshire to the Midlands. What a lovely pub. Dog friendly, menu was catering for all diets and left taste buds tingling. Gnocchi were beautifully prepared, very tasty as was the duck salad. Portions are plentiful, you will be leaving stuffed and happy. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic vegan menu at this country pub and not just token dishes or salad but well thought out satisfying dishes. The mushroom pudding was the star for me but all the vegan options we tried between the four of us were scrumptious. Would definitely go back. Highly recommended for vegans as many places in the Ribble Valley have either hardly any choice or the dishes are inferior but expensive.
