Pubs/Restaurants in Lancashire
Discussion
Hi all!
First time I've posted here. I've got a mileage accumulator car from work (free fuel to put on as many miles on as possible) next weekend. We've planned to meet friends in the Lancashire area and stay at theirs in Preston. To make the most of the free fuel; I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations of Pubs/restaurants with ample private parking (stipulation of use) around the Lancashire area. Roughly around Preston within 30 miles. Ideally out of a town centre, but not a huge issue if not. Not a massive restriction on budget or style, although I'm a tad simple on tastes so would be very happy with excellent pub food.
Hope it's not too general a question, used to be a student at UCLAN, but never really explored the eateries of the North West beyond Kebab Shops!
Thanks in advance.

If you don't fancy something that formal they have a few pubs too - but Northcote Manor is the best of the lot.

This is the only pub (for food) I would recommend north of the M65: https://fencegate.co.uk/
I don't get out much though!
...and Monday night is sausage night!

All of the above recommendations are great. There's also the Freemason's at Wiswell - fantastic food but a bit pricey mind....

Haven't been to The Fence Gate for while but service can be very slow and ALWAYS check the bill, they invariably get it wrong. We've given up going there now. However, the food is generally very good.I don't get out much though!

I haven't been, but it's on my list and my auntie swears by it, and that's The Inn at Whitewell. http://www.innatwhitewell.com/

Yes, that is a very good meal too, went for a 60th there - I wasn't paying! Be prepared to roll up one trouser leg and wear a pinny though. http://www.freemasonsatwiswell.com/

I'm not a fan of the Clog and Billycock, been a few times as the neice likes it, much prefer Fence Gate.

The Spread Eagle at Sawley (just past Clitheroe)?
Haven't been for a while, but it was very good last time. Nice location as well.
I'm not sure if that is one of theirs. The Ribble Valley Inns chain is owned by Nigel Haworth from Northcote Manor. Generally good quality and reasonable prices.Haven't been for a while, but it was very good last time. Nice location as well.
Some great recommendations. Have frequented here a few times, food portions are huge but quality high and service tip top: http://www.greencrabpubs.co.uk/details3
Owd Nel's is a nice place to be, food is just normal though.
Not far from Preston
