Lancashire Pubs & Inns Collection

Supported by:

I

n the hills and valleys of Lancashire there lies many a secret.

Food provenance is in abundance from the cheeses of Beacon Fell to the shrimps of Morecambe Bay, to the fruit and vegetables of Hesketh Bank and Lonkshire Lambs, the indigenous breed of Lancashire in the hills of Pendle and Bowland.

We are fortunate in Lancashire that we also have a great many pubs and inns serving regional food and drinks, boasting roaring log fires. Many of these pubs and inns are in stunning locations where the combination of food and drink can’t be bettered.

I am heavily influenced by the beauty of the land and the special food produced therein. Producers and suppliers such as Peter Ascroft (cauliflowers), Banks Tomatoes, amazing cheeses, Kirkhams, Butlers, Leagrams and many more. Black puddings from Haslingden, the wonderful Lonk Lamb from the hills of Pendle and Bowland, and beef from the valleys to the north western shores with seasonal salmon and bass aplenty; and Morecambe Bay shrimps to top it all off.

I hope this new Lancashire Pubs and Inns Collection will inspire you to head out on a culinary journey into the great county of Lancashire.

Chef Patron, Northcote & Ribble Valley Inns

Lancashire landscape is integral to the food and drink grown and made here. The heather strewn moorland provides succulent meats, the salt deposits in the low lands around Garstang and Chipping have given us the Lancashire milk fields; an area famed for its cheeses including Beacon Fell Traditional Lancashire Cheese which carries the Protected Designator of Origin marquee and is home to nine cheese makers. Rich soil along the coastal plains are perfect for growing potatoes, root vegetables and salads, and our water, rich in minerals, perfect for making quality cask ales as the 23 Lancashire breweries will testify. The shallow depths of our coastal areas provide ideal conditions for our famous Morecambe Bay shrimps to thrive.

History is also deeply intertwined with our food & drink; Lancashire hotpot might now be served in award winning restaurants but it started as an economical meal for Lancashire mill workers and farm labourers. The temperance movement, which started in Preston, gave us Sarsaparilla, and the Pendle Witch Trial of 1612 inspired Moorhouse’s Brewery to call their ale Pendle Witches Brew, whilst Bowland Brewery looked to Lancashire wildlife when they named their Hen Harrier ale.
