Freemasons - Clitheroe

We had the loveliest day trip out to this restaurantIt's quite a drive from Manchester but well worth the trip.

Up-market, stylish gastropub with a lovely bright, new meets old interiorVery light and cosy.

If it's all about the food then this is one for you.

What an amazing place!! In such a picture perfect village. We visited to celebrate my Husband's birthday were not disappointed! We stayed in Mr Fox for 1 night. It is beautifully furnished, with a mezzanine level which proudly boars a roll top bath. The bathroom is stunning too all spotlessly clean. The complimentary carrot cakes were a lovely touch. Before our 3 course Sunday lunch, we had a drink at the bar. I started with chicken liver parfait it was delicious. For the main event I went for the pork belly it literally melted in my mouth. Best roasties gravy EVER!! The stuffed Yorkshire is totally another level!! We shared a cheese board to finish which was just right to end a perfect Sunday lunch. The service was perfect too. Breakfast at The Freemasons was something else! We had ordered our food the night before, not realising that we would be treated to a feast of army breakfast treats before our cooked breakfast! For me this was a true rival to Northcote!! We will be returning very soon!! Thank you to The Freemasons at Wiswell for making our experience a fabulous one! Vicki Matt

The Celebration of Spring menu is a triumph! The soup starter is somehow rich but not heavy, the freshness of the pea and the subtle cheese foam bringing one another into sharp focus. Lamb pudding and rhubarb custard dessert also excellent. Very good service and tasteful décor. I cannot wait to return.
