Cafe’s near Rivington Pike

The Great House Barn

Perfect cafe location close to where most tend to start their Rivington walks, including Rivington Pike, The Great House Barn, Rivington has a fantastic food menu, and their iced coffee’s in the summer are worth every penny! I’m partial to a bubblegum ice cream milkshake from here too… but each to their own haha!


Cafe at Spring Cottage

Expect a relaxing atmosphere at Spring Cottage, with a rather classy, mostly organic food menu to choose from. Not everyone’s cup of tea, so do take a look at their lovely menu before visiting… you might need to book a table here too, as it’s on the smaller side of venues. Outdoor seating is an option during summer of course 🙂

Other Cafe’s Worth A Mention

Lancashire is blessed with plenty of fantastic cafe options.
Here are a few of our favourites, located a little far from any of our recommended Lancashire walks.


Heritage Cafe at Samlesbury Hall

Experienced this beautiful cafe for the first time in 2022. Their food menu looks superb!
Had to try a latte here, and we can categorically say, we approve.
