Cafe Autisan - Clitheroe

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere, and pretty location

Quite a disappointing experience. Dogs not allowed inside fair enough, some people would see that as a bonus but not good for us since it was chilly and breezy. Asked for and was given a menu and took that outside. Two or three minutes into perusing the menu the staff member who had given it to me came out to tell us that the kitchen was closed and only drinks and cakes were available. It was about 14:50 on a Sunday afternoon so I would have thought not an unreasonable time to be seeking a sandwich. We left in search of lunch (and found Holdens, which is excellent).

A welcome respite on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday whilst completing a Treasure Trail in Whalley. Excellent GF chocolate cake

Great place, coffee and cakes are good. I always order the sandwiches or jacket potato. The sides with food are also great. A lovely place.

This café has a charming setting in the grounds of Whalley Abbey. It is a social enterprise business. We found it to be much improved since our last visit. The coffee was good quality and the service was friendly and obliging. We would definitely visit again.
