Blog - Ribble Valley

We are fortunate to have a number of guests who return week after week, year after year and Jan & Tony, who now know Janet well, have put down on paper some of their reasons for continuing to return to GB!

Janet and the whole team were delighted to be shortlisted as finalists at the Ribble Valley Business Awards for the Food Business Award, the Rural Business Award and in the prestigious Bowland BioEnergy Award. 

We were equally delighted to have been nominated in the National CLA Rural Business Awards which took place at The Belfry, and are delighted to announce that we came home with a Highly Commended in the Outstanding Rural Diversification Project and that we were runners up in the Rural Entrepreneur of the Year. 

Our very own ‘boss lady’ Janet Simpson has been shortlisted for two national awards!

Both Janet personally, and the hotel and restaurant, were selected in the categories, ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ and ‘Outstanding Diversification Project’.

A Gibbon Bridge fundraising dinner hosted by Radio 2’s foodie correspondent Nigel Barden raised a phenomenal £4,000 for flood victims.
