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.

    Outstanding evening meal. Took children for a 6pm early dinner as a treat for Mum’s birthday. One went for the kids menu and the other ate from the normal menu. All very full at the end and the staff were excellent throughout, nothing to really fault the evening. We will be back!

    Back to it's best. I like to visit the Freemasons often and have done for a long time, the food has always been excellent. The last time I went in winter the taster menu seemed to have gone a bit too fancy. I'd also heard the long time chef had left so was interested to know how it had changed and I was pleased to see the hearty taster menu was back and as good as ever. Really enjoyed every course, the wine and the service!

    The welcome was very warm, the surroundings were good and the service and food were excellent. It was very good value and we'll be back there soon. The only downside (and it's not the Freemason's fault) is parking is tricky.
