The Freemasons

The Freemasons is one of Lancashire’s most popular gastropubs, with a reputation for dispensing outstanding food in a relaxed environment.

Nestled down a side street in one of the Ribble Valley’s prettiest villages, The Freemasons won the 2017 AA Restaurant of the Year for England, alongside being the top northwest pub in the Top 50 Gastropubs, 18^th in the National Restaurant Awards, one of the only pubs to make The Sunday Times Top 100 Restaurants and for the third year in a row, the No.1 pub in the Good Food Guide, with a seven out of 10 (the first pub in the Guide to receive that ranking).

While the food shouts fine dining, the ambience is relaxed and locals will often pop in for a pint and maybe a couple of small plates. While there’s no standing on ceremony at the Freemasons, booking is advised as it remains one of the area’s most popular dining destinations.
