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.

    This was a first visit for myself and friend. It was a belated birthday lunch for my friend. Lovely atmosphere and friendly welcome. We chose the festive menu. It was very varied in choice, and we had different choices. From starters through to dessert, every mouthful was delicious . Very relaxed and a lovely experience .

    We celebrated my Grandsons second birthday today at the Freemasons and we couldn’t have not have wished for anything better. Andrew and crew were fantastic nothing was too much trouble including a little cake with candles for the birthday boy ! Food and service was top class as usual, you are a credit to your profession and I would give you a 5 star recommendation. Thanks to all. Paul Williams
