Howgill

About the restaurant

With access to panoramic views of Pendle Hill, and a range of seasonal menus, created and tailored by our Chef Patron, Doug Crampton, Eight at Gazegill is the epitome of a 'farm-to-fork' restaurant, being owned by and located directly on a working organic farm, Gazegill Organics, in the Ribble Valley.

Showcasing the best of the produce from the farm, which includes organic slow-reared pork and raw milk, and utilising the seasonal bounty that can be found in the surrounding hedgerows and countryside, Eight at Gazegill reconnects guests to nature through the food.

Our Brunch, All-Day and Sunday Lunch menus are suitable for all, while our Friday and Saturday evening Tasting Menu offers a more grown up experience. We also have specifically designed menus which are suitable to be eaten on our outside terrace area where the addition of a large purpose-built playground makes this the perfect location for families to enjoy the sunshine.

About the restaurant

La Mancha Tapas bar was established in 1998. We have taken the humble tapa also known as an appetiser to a different level by producing authentic Spanish cuisine in racione portions for the concept of sharing.

We have created in the heart of Rochdale, a relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere – ideal for either a snack and a glass of excellent Spanish Vino or a party night out. Our friendly staff look forward to welcoming you at the Restaurant.

Clitheroe

About the restaurant

Welcome to Freemasons at Wiswell, where fabulous food is served in an elegant and relaxed rural setting. The inn is located in the 'chocolate box' village of Wiswell, near Clitheroe, in the picturesque Ribble Valley.
Since our transformation and reopening in the summer of 2009, we have created a loyal clientele and a genuine home-from-home atmosphere. Flag stone floors, walls in muted heritage colours, antique rugs and furniture, period paintings and prints all unite to create a stylish and comfortable setting. Our bar has an excellent selection of traditional cask conditioned ales from award-winning independent breweries and is complemented by a superb cellar with over 250 wines from around the world.
While the surroundings and welcome are inviting, the main reason to visit is, of course, our food.

Beautiful Food and Outstanding View. Good service. Room looks slightly dated and could use refurbishment. Staff were all very lovely and tried their hardest but struggled with the card machine due to no signal which meant it took several attempts to pay the bill. Pleasure Beach IT needs to get them off 4G reader and onto a WIFI reader!

About the restaurant

At the Cartford Inn, we offer a brand of hospitality that is truly unique, hallmarked by an award-winning restaurant, boutique hotel, delicatessen and art gallery. Our location is enviable, with guests able to enjoy panoramic views of the Ribble Valley and Fylde countryside whilst dining. Our décor is quirky and eclectic, in keeping with our building’s 17th century heritage, but with a modernist twist.

Of course the main attraction is our 2-Rosette winning, Michelin recommended restaurant. Run by head chef Chris Bury, we offer the finest quality food without the fuss, in an atmosphere that is warm and unpretentious. Expect a discernible French influence, evidenced by our renowned French onion soup – a dish that is well worth a visit in its own right.

We look forward to welcoming you!

About the restaurant

Blackpool has so many fantastic places to eat, but our delightful Palm Court restaurant is the place for a sumptuous, relaxing dinner. The Victorian dining room is full of grandeur and our restaurant team always go that little bit further to make serving a meal a magical experience.

The views in the restaurant are spectacular, with sweeping vistas across the Fylde coast and the occasional heritage tram tootling by. Diners can soak in the scenery while enjoying fine dining from the table d’hôte menu that changes quarterly, according to the seasons.

We also have a range of daily specials, with our chefs using locally sourced produce whenever possible to ensure that only the best and freshest ingredients are used. The restaurant has flexible seating arrangements, so we can cater for large parties and children are also well catered for, thanks to the family dining options.

For guests not resident at the hotel, please be sure to enter your car registration details on arrival.

This is the second time we had afternoon tea at The Imperial Hotel. As always we found it very enjoyable. It is also extremely good value for money. My only complaint is that you need more staff to run this event smoothly. I know there was also a wedding, however it just appears that the staff are harassed or under pressure. A good example, was, as we say in the reception area, as we arrived early. We couldn't help but notice a very large queue of guests waiting to check in, and only one member of staff available to do the check-in. The queue was around 12/15 people and only 4 were checked in at the time we wait, around 30mins. The afternoon tea was splendid, although again it seemed the staff there too, were struggling.
