The Black Bull, Rimington
Located on a winding country lane at the foot of Pendle Hill, this hidden gem dating from 1910 - though there’s been an inn on the site since the 17th century - casts its own culinary spell in Lancashire witch country. Owners Steve Hodgson and Katherine Lachance, who fell in love with the place as they rode by on a tandem, have cleverly combined cultures - producing wonderful French cuisine from Lancashire’s unbeatable produce. Now there’s magic for you.Freemasons Country Inn, Wiswell
Blackburn raised chef-patron Steven Smith, who returned ‘home’ to Lancashire after cooking at several Michelin starred restaurants, has created a stunning rendezvous in one of the most picturesque corners of the Ribble Valley dedicated to making the most of local produce at its seasonal best. The mouth-wateringly appealing menu marries perfectly with the uniquely charming surroundings and relaxed, comfortable atmosphere.Ye Horn’s Inn, Goosnargh
Once part of a working farm, this splendid heritage coaching inn has been dispensing renowned hospitality since 1720. A stalwart of the Good Pub Guide and holder of a Taste Lancashire award, head chef and owner Mark Woods champions a traditional northern menu enhanced by modern flair. With his passion for regional flavours, he sources as many ingredients as possible from nearby with duck, game and cheese arriving from neighbouring Goosnargh farms.
Wellocks is a quality supplier of both fresh and dry ingredients that is sourced from the UK and abroad from local producers and farms that take pride in what they produce.
