Dining

Northcote

Restaurant★ Michelin££££3.1 km

After over four decades of consistent culinary success, the Northcote hotel's restaurant continues to excel under the stewardship of Lisa Goodwin-Allen. Her cooking is underpinned by superb produce, which often comes from local, biodynamic and organic suppliers or the kitchen garden. This is fashioned into dishes with distinct, bold flavours, brought together in complementary combinations – such as rabbit 'pillow' with scorched corn, chilli and coriander. The extensive wine list includes some exceptional bottles and a glass-walled "Chef's Table" room lets you in on the action.

Freemasons

Restaurant£££1.6 km

Tucked away down a narrow lane in the heart of the Ribble Valley, this delightful pub is as characterful inside as it is from the exterior. Cosy and welcoming, the whole place exudes a rustic charm thanks to an open fire and antique furnishings. The modern British dishes use the best of the local larder and deliver bold, well-judged flavours in adventurous, original creations like the 'Malteser' dessert. For the ultimate experience, book the "Chef's Bench", which consists of just four seats in the heart of the kitchen. Make a night of it and stay over in one of the bedrooms too.

The Three Fishes

Restaurant£££3.3 km

Chef Nigel Haworth has always been a strong ambassador for Lancashire produce – particularly from the Ribble Valley – and now has his own vegetable garden and polytunnel at this contemporary dining pub. The à la carte might include such unpretentious options as tempura scallops or flavoursome corn fed chicken; there's also a seasonal set menu available in 5 or 8 courses, bookended by cheese rolls and mini Eccles cakes – which have rightly become restaurant staples.
