Rivington Pike Snack Shack

P: Not available

Oh what a welcome sight was the Pike Snack Shack. First time at Rivington and we stumbled across here on a cold and icy day (Thurs 2/1). Staff were lovely and welcoming, despite being busy. We had 5 hot chocolates with all the trimmings and 2 coffees for around £23. The hot chocolates were amazing and just what we needed to finish the climb. We were greeted by the best dressed pooches with their bow ties on (who love a fallen marshmallow or two). Highly recommend!

Called in during a long bike ride. Was raining quite heavy. Lady serving was really friendly. There was a lot for sale including hot pasties and a range of hot drinks coffees etc. Very reasonably priced, have contactless payment and a few seats with a few. Would thoroughly recommend great if your around Rivington and need a pick me up or snack. Might get busy when good weather weekends etc but definitely in the right location and products and service are exceptional, will be returning when I can great job!!!

Great views, lovely coffee and a great staff! There is of course Dudley! Worth it alone to visit, just for his company and to wash away any worries you have!

Needed to get out today for the first time after being ill, so headed out to Rivington which has to be the best spot for views and the all important fresh air. Not having been up there for while, we were unsure of where yo head for until I decided on looking for a cafe as high up as possible that would be open in the afternoon. We picked here as the pictures online looked cute. It is! Food offering, is basic in terms of choices, but the quality is there regardless and they serve the nicest coffee (good choice). A bonus is that despite the vagaries of postcode locations, and its rural setting, the postcode listed takes you to the door. A lovely place to sit and appreciate where we live and even more so with the kind hospitality of the owners. Hopefully the daughter will get her own 4x4 soon! Lol!

Lovely place. Food is always really hot. Great value. Can be a little noisy at times with 'yappy' dogs, but totally expected for location. Scones are to die for! One of my favourite local places. Better to sit near the back so you don't feel the cold if the door is open.

One of the lovely things about this tea room is its location. There is something really special about having a place of refreshment to visit at the end of a walk through nature and all the beauty that Rivington offers. Staff at the Village Tea Room have always been friendly even when rushed off their feet and the food is also good. Well worth a visit in my opinion 😊

Our favourite place, lovely cafe with great food and home made cakes,very good value and dog friendly. It's our dogs favourite place as you can buy sausages for your dog! But the best thing about this place is the lovely staff and owner, always so friendly and welcoming.

Love this place! It can get really busy, so sometimes just have to get a coffee to go and a look at the little artisan stalls inside selling a lovely range of gifts. Not had food here, just the odd slice of cake which was delicious 🥰. Dogs are allowed. Toilets are outside and a little cold and primitive, but serve their purpose.

Can’t speak too highly of this gem. Go regularly for a stop gap when out walking. Very reasonably priced, food great, staff always friendly and welcoming. It can get very busy but plenty of tables outside weather permitting. Definitely, a must if in the area.

MUST VISIT. We chose this place from the Google reviews and were very impressed. Moumita is a brilliant host, very welcoming and beautiful. We had the full breakfast one small one big. Perfectly sized, the ingredients are all locally sourced, traditional butchers sausage and bacon, bury black pudding 👌 and fully free range farm eggs, bakery toast. Moumita Cooked it all perfectly and in good time. Lovely tea coffee. It’s the best English breakfast I have ever had… and I have a lot. Will definitely be calling again. Don’t miss out! It’s that good 👌

First time in this Cafe and all I can say is excellent. Food cooked to perfection. Nothing was too much trouble. I didn't want 2 items on the breakfast and they replaced it with extra sausage. The coffee was delicious and made exactly how I asked for it. I would highly recommend. I will definitely be going back.

Love Costa Coffee and professional service you always get, friendly staff and clean tables, just ashame your coffee prices are increasing far too much, and never come down, especially when coffee bean prices reduce.

Customer service skills was super and the approach and ability to handle everything was brilliant. Rachel remained calm under pressure and should be recognised for her efforts Thank you Rachel

When in the store today Lucy and her male manager were making the hot drinks and they worked together so well. They have to be the best pair I have ever seen in a costa store and I have been in a fair few up and down england! I think Lucy would make a fantastic person to go to different stores and train staff how to work in a partnership and do the job efficiently. The store was very busy but together they got through the orders super fast and without any problems.

Nice atmosphere and very nice staff. I had a grilled chicken salad with a side of rice and beans, which was very dry. Had I known a salad bar came with every dinner, I would have chosen a rotisserie chicken dish. The chicken looked juicy and tasty. It was cosy and roomy. A perfect place for a family and a big group as well.

Service was excellent. As a wheelchair user I need plenty of space to manoeuvre and we were shown to a table near the toilets that suited my needs perfectly. The menus were extensive offering lots of choice including vegetarian/vegan options and the salad bar had possibly the freshest selection of food I've ever encountered. We all enjoyed our meals and the hospitality we received was excellent. Accessible toilet was well kept and clean as were the Gents toilets. If anything needs improving then I couldn't see what. No complaints whatsoever. Will definitely be returning and recommending to friends and family.

This place definitely deserves a 5* rating. Of all the harvesters or even pub style restaurants we've been to, this place has been by far the best. We popped in on Thursday night for tea and came back again on Saturday morning for breakfast. Both times, the service was outstanding. The food was spot on, loads to choose from, all tasted fresh and of great quality. But the great customer service is something to shout about. The lad that served us went above and beyond. I think he was called 'Blake'? I hope I have his name right. Big thank you to him, the manager, and the kitchen. You guys have nailed the service at this Harvester. Thank you, me and my family will definitely return in future.

Working away, popped in for some food. Wendy was my server, she is an absolute credit to your business..I noticed that she is a team coach. If the other waiting staff are half as good as she was then you'll be absolutely fine! I had the 83 combo..it was delicious..ribs fell of the bone and were melt in the mouth. The chicken and chicken gravy were to die for! Having previously been in the industry I know good friendly staff can be hard to come by..yours were brilliant from start to finish. Thanks.

Food is wonderful, service a little slow in parts but will be back. Will ask for the cosier area with the exposed brick wall next time as the other side has really harsh white lights with white walls. Not cosy or romantic at all. Very poor choice of non alcoholic drinks.

We held a 40th birthday party here at The Rivington. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We had our own sweets cart and decorations for the cart which needed assembling and some table shuffling which was accommodated for, prior to the party without any issues. The function room was clean. Located on the upper floor with two flights of steps. Note : the Image is only the front bar area, there's more room and seating on the other side of the bar area. The toilets were clean with sink and hand dryers. Heated undercover smokers area. The bar staff were friendly and efficient. The food was hot and tasty. We had a great night thank you all.

First time coming here since they changed to venue, very lovely inside, and a warm welcome! We ordered chicken ham and leek pie and a steak burger. The portions were big and the food was absolutely delicious. Hard to find chips that beat them. Great price too. Will definitely be coming again and highly recommend.

Fabulous food, my partner said that it was the best fish and chips he's ever had, and he's had alot 😋 I tasted a chip and I must say it was the best chip I've ever had, brown & crispy outside and fluffy white inside. His fish was huge as well. I had goats cheese risotto and my friend had linguine carbonate both of which were lovely. The Albanian waitress was friendly and helpful. The place has recently been done up and was bright and fresh, however, I do think that there's too many imitation flowers, it's beginning to look like a funeral home. Sorry but that's just my opinion.

When you are the world’s most awkward customer like me — GF, dairy free and no caffeine — it really gets on my pip when I am charged extra through the nose for alternative milk, decaf coffee and shots of syrup. One place that shall remain nameless charged me £1 for a shot of vanilla syrup recently. I was a bit miffed. I am pleased to say the Cowshed has the cheapest and one of the nicest coffees around. £3.30 for me. £2.50 if you are normal :-) And you can order from the outside, they have a very cute hole-in-the-wall style window hatch. Engaging staff. Lovely light venue that certainly adds a bit of brightness to the Horwich. Can I have an udder please?
