Welcome to Freemasons at Wiswell, where fabulous food is served in an elegant and relaxed rural setting. The inn is located in the 'chocolate box' village of Wiswell, near Clitheroe, in the picturesque Ribble Valley.
Since our transformation and reopening in the summer of 2009, we have created a loyal clientele and a genuine home-from-home atmosphere. Flag stone floors, walls in muted heritage colours, antique rugs and furniture, period paintings and prints all unite to create a stylish and comfortable setting. Our bar has an excellent selection of traditional cask conditioned ales from award-winning independent breweries and is complemented by a superb cellar with over 250 wines from around the world.
While the surroundings and welcome are inviting, the main reason to visit is, of course, our food.

    Fantastic three course Sunday roast with extra treats, artisan breads , a birthday card for my son and gorgeous Birthday chocolates which were totally unexpected. Andrew and all the waiting staff were warm, friendly and down to earth. We went home thoroughly satisfied . Food how food should be!

    Great food from the a la carte menu. Lovely staff and service. A really nice evening for our pre-wedding anniversary dinner. The restaurant could have been warmer - a bit chilly on a very cold night outside.

    Lovely meal, friendly staff, and a lovely pub Thoroughly enjoyed the meal, the staff were great, the only reason I marked Ambience down was because it was cold. It was a very chilly Febuary day and it would have been lovely to walk into a nice warm pub. We would love to go back and perhaps try the taster menu next time.

    It was excellent. We have eaten here before and the whole experience lived up to our high expectations. Very accommodating even when we had a mix up with our timings. Top drawer quality - not cheap but definitely value for money

    As ever the staff were very hospitable, friendly and polite. Service was attentive. Our food was beautifully cooked and presented and we felt that the early evening menu was great value for money. We feel lucky to have the Freemasons on our doorstep.
