Nestled in the picturesque village of Slaidburn, just north of Clitheroe, the Riverbank Tearooms is a quintessential stop for any rider navigating the Forest of Bowland. Set in a charming stone building overlooking the River Hodder, it marks a natural breaking point on some of the finest technical riding roads in Lancashire, North West.
The tearoom is a proud participant in the Bike and Brew Passport scheme. This nationwide initiative, managed by the charity Motorbiker Acts of Random Kindness (M.A.R.K.), encourages motorcyclists to explore the UK’s network of independent, biker-friendly venues. Collecting a stamp at Riverbank Tearooms is a rewarding way to support the charitable work of M.A.R.K. while enjoying a “reason to ride” through this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
For motorcyclists, the appeal lies in the combination of a stunning location and practical facilities. There is ample parking available nearby, and the outdoor seating area by the river is a favourite spot for riders to gear down and cool off during a summer ride. The atmosphere is consistently welcoming, with staff accustomed to groups of riders stopping by for a mid-morning “brew” or a post-ride debrief.
The menu is a celebration of traditional, home-cooked fare. Whether you are looking for a substantial hot breakfast to fuel a day in the saddle, a fresh local sandwhich, or a slice of their famous homemade cake, the quality is always high. It is the kind of unpretentious, high-quality destination that turns a good ride through the Ribble Valley into a great one. Whether you are a local regular or a touring rider passing through the Trough of Bowland for the first time, Riverbank Tearooms offers a warm, scenic, and authentic Lancashire welcome.
