About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
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.

    Made to feel very welcome by a lovely, friendly team. Made a fuss of the birthday girl which was much appreciated. Food delicious and the presentation was top notch!

    Second visit to The Freemasons and it exceeded my expectations from our previous dining experience which was outstanding. Service efficient and friendly, especially the Maitre D’. Food from the Early Doors menu was exceptional and superb value for the quality of the food served. There was a good variety to choose from in each course and all three of us would have happily devoured any of the starters, mains or desserts. Good choice of beer and wine , plus bar staff were knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their products! Delightful meal in an idyllic setting . Definitely worth a visit then another then another !!

    We booked to stay over at Freemasons and treat ourselves to the 7 course taster menu. It was absolutely amazing and worth every penny. The rooms are to a very high standard and so comfortable. All staff are super friendly and helpful I cannot fault anything at the freemasons . An amazing experience.

    A warm welcome from Andrew was followed with delicious food and excellent service from all the staff. The Spring Menu was extremely good value at £37.50 and the little fishy snack was divine! The quality of the service from Andrew was outstanding and the best I’ve ever received.
