See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

This family-friendly village pub serves good value home-cooked food, and a range of beers from Thwaites' new 'Ribble Valley' brewery. The large bar-lounge was refurbished in attractive modern style in 2019, and in the front corner is a small snug 'The Jail' with some ancient fittings - this room is reserved for diners. At the back is a large attractive patio and garden area leading down to the Barkby Brook.
