Husband and wife team Laurence Tottingham and Mary-Ellen McTague, who both worked for Heston Blumethal at the eulogised Fat Duck in Bray, have brought dining excellence to their cottagey 26-cover neighbourhood restaurant in Church Lane. Their short, constantly changing but inventive menu relies heavily on expertly cooked traditional British fare - herring, grouse, plaice - superbly sauced, rather than Blumenthal’s outrageous flights of fancy and it’s all the better for that.The Hastings, Lytham
Styling itself as an ‘eating and drinking house’, the Hastings is celebrating its first year since Warrick Dodds, formerly head chef at Nigel Howarth’s stellar Northcote Manor, opened for business. Entry in 2011’s Good Food Guide is just the start of what’s likely to be a string of accolades for some of the most creative cooking on the Fylde coast using the very best of ingredients from local suppliers, most of whom Warrick has known all his career.Penny Street Bridge, Lancaster
Set inside a century old building in the heart of the historic city, this charming restaurant with rooms boasts a stylish bar and delightful flagged courtyard for al fresco dining. Blessed with an abundance of fantastic produce from the surrounding countryside and nearby Morecambe Bay, the kitchen makes the most of its local bounty on a menu offering excellent home-cooked interpretation of pub classics and a true taste of Lancashire.
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.Wellocks
