Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We have had Breda Murphys food in the past years which has always been fantastic, however, the Beef Bourguignon this week, bought for a friend’s get together was absolutely fabulous, so very tasty and easy to prepare after work… perfect… Then the Sticky Toffee Pudding...was delicious, yum yum 😋 THANK YOU BREDA👍🙂More

Staying in the area. Recommended, hence visited for lunch and I used the shop. Couldn’t fault the owners and staff. Fabulous food and service. For me, personally I prefer to eat in an adult environment and spoilt with crying babies making a huge mess on...the floor and table. It would put me off visiting againMore

This a beautiful restaurant using local, seasonal ingredients to make wonderfully flavoured and presented dishes. The service and food were both excellent and although we don’t live locally I would love to visit again. They also have a deli and home food service which seemed...very popular. Do yourself a favour and check it out, you won’t be disappointed.More

Absolutely lovely restaurant, serving some fantastic food - and a really great Sunday Roast !! Remarkable in every respect (food, service, ambience and value for money) and definitely worth a visit.

We have been coming here for lunch on a Thursday for many years now, although recently we have been limited as the establishment has not always been open on that day of the week. We try to visit twice a year, as despite there being...many great restaurants in the Ribble Valley and surrounding area, this is our favourite. Today (08 December) we enjoyed one of the very best luncheons that we have been treated to by Breda. Our choices for starters were Ham Hock Croquette with parsley and wholegrain mustard, celeriac remoulade and watercress and apple salad. My friend had the treacle cured salmon, beetroot pickle with lemongrass and ginger puree. The dishes were very good (mine) and excellent (my friend). Main courses were Venison haunch steak, celeriac mash, baby onions, parsnip crisps and a redcurrant and port jus. With this I had a side of roast winter vegetables. My friend had Roast turkey breast, ballotine of leg, herb stuffing, cranberry tartlet, sage jus and traditional garnish. The venison was amazing while the turkey was rated as a very good choice. For dessert I had Chocolate cremeaux, brandy soaked prunes with cocoa nib tuille while my friend had stem ginger pudding, honeycombe butterscotch with vanilla ice cream. Both of these were utterly fabulous, and my friend thought his was one of the very best desserts he has ever had in a restaurant! If while reading this your mouth is watering - so it should - for we both gave our selections an excellent 29/30!! We will be talking about this exquisite meal for a long time to come (hopefully!) Service was really excellent as always here and we are already looking forward to our next visit in 2023, if there is a Thursday availability. Once again we have no hesitation in recommending Food By Breda Murphy. It is a real gem.....More

Wow… after spending a lovely day at Bolton Abby we wanted to finish off the day with a lovely meal. And, We were not disappointed. We had never been before and on the debrief on the way home…. It was 10 out 10 . From...the beautiful tender Venison to the perfectly cooked steak. The only point that you scored bad (9:5) was there were too much chocolate brownie. However,we weren’t complaining for too long… From the attentive staff to the lovely atmosphere . It was a lovely night . Also , it was pleasure to see waiting staff using tea-towels to carry the hot plates . Fantastic in every way. Well done to allMore

Took the mother for a lunch, we weren't really hungry but my hubby and I keep driving past this place on the way to our lodge and I wanted to try it. Lovely, well decorated. Polite staff. Kept it simple and ordered fish pie. It...came with seasoned greens. Well that fish pie was hotter than the core of Vesuvius. Anyway I eventually tasted it and it was delicious. Perfect. Will be back with an empty belly to do the menu justice.More

Only one criticism . The pork was not as tender as it should have been unfortunately and the paprika chips were too spindly thin which somewhat spoiled my main meal..

From start to finish our recent experience at Breda's restaurant was top notch. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the menu was full of dishes I wanted to try. I settled on the duck croquette for starters followed by sea bass for the mains...and creme brulee for dessert. How they make greens taste so good is beyond me. A fabulous meal - highly recommended.More
