Food by Breda Murphy

I had heard for some time of the little secluded eatery in a little corner of the Ribble Valley town of Whalley, yet I had never been. Happily however I did today for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised.

Underneath the simple exterior lies a truly warming and welcoming little establishment. Calming, exceedingly pleasant atmosphere, with a good blend of traditional value and modern, 21st century overtones. Add to that lovely staff and an impressive menu and what more could you want?

Despite being a tad cramped and claustrophobic in feel, Breda Murphy's eatery really was a very nice place to be.
And as said, the food on offer was certainly original, pleasant to read on a menu, pleasant to the eye and delicious to taste. I sampled a very different but very tasty potato, truffle and artichoke crisp soup alongside a superb open ham and cheese sandwich (it sounds simple - soup and a sandwich but trust me their version of each was superb) followed by a very moreish pecan, maple and ginger tart.


Truly, if you want a different, well thought out, brilliantly executed establishment that offers delicious food - you could do a lot worse than to pay those at Breda Murphy's a visit.
