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.

    We went for New Years Day lunch, and to celebrate my wife's birthday. The whole experience was truly fantastic. We had waited an age to visit, but it was worth the wait. We were well looked after by Andrew and the staff. The food was delicious and plentiful, and the setting was perfect. All in all, it was a brilliant celebration.

    Attended for the NewYears eve set menu. Both food and service was equally excellent. I’ve been to a number of Michelin star restaurants, and Freemasons is as good if not better.
