Red Pump Inn, Bashall Eavesback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
A really friendly country pub with the emphasis more on food although they still retain a bar for drinkers.
It's been completely refurbished recently and the menu upgraded. Whilst it's rather more expensive than pubs serving traditional pub grub if you like good food then this is for you.
Four of us met there at 7.30 and, because they still have the traditional pub side you don't feel as though you're being encouraged to leave when you've finished your meal -We were still lingering over coffee after 10.00
We've been before it was upgraded and we'll certainly go again

Another visit with my family, we travel from south Lancs and I am delighted to report that my husband is still impressed with the ale (Grindleton Ribble Gold and Timothy taylor landlord on this visit) and the food is excellent as ever with some great accolades to back up our thoughts which is lovely and deservedly seen; Michelin Guide, AA Best Pubs Guide, Alastair Sawday guide.... I'm not sure this gem will remain hidden for much longer, a cracking pub, voted on of the the Top 50 in England and Wales and deservedly so. We shall continue to come, it's just ace. Love from Brenda

Hi....just visited this gem of a place in Bashall Eaves and it is even better than my last visit. They have superb accommodation and the menu is excellent.

I've just read the comment posted by droom...... and I'm flabbegasted.... the portions are not miniscule at this place (in fact, I'd go as far as to say that they are actually a little over-facing at times with certain dishes). I don't agree with the value for money comments either and I've visited 4 times with friends (not just my opinion). It's not in the same category as the Three Fishes at Mitton and I'm not sure it's trying to be either, but I think the prices reflect good proper home made food with good local ingredients. This is a true rural country pub trying hard to make it work and it shows. The next time I go (first week Oct) I will mention your comments to them and I bet they'll take it in and be all the better for it! This place is a gem waiting to be discovered.

A JOY. I've been 4 times to this Inn in the beautiful Ribble Valley and each time they are consistently good. This place deserves a pat on the back. New owners have transformed the place from a dreary lager-focussed pub into a very good country inn serving excellent food and ales; the wine list is good but could be a little bigger. Atmosphere delightful with quirky (and hilarious) landlord and landlady who were very genuinely caring about our experiences there. Try the local belly pork, this is seriously good but not for the faint hearted since they are big portions. Everything seemed home made which is a treat. In my opinion, go and try it out.... and mention to the landlady that Brenda from St Helens says Hi.... she'll die laughing if you mention the blow up sheep!
Superb country pub.

Poor overall. Three Fishes at Mitton prices but average pub food quality. Also small portions. Watch the menu description as they are misleading and didn't actually reflect what we got. Sweets were good and seemed home made but miniscule portions. Coffee dreary. On a more positive note the fillet steak was very good but was spoiled by the rest of it
