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.

Andrew and his team are first class. Suprised that his former employers let him go, their loss is the Freemasons gain!

Cannot fault Go as far to say that it's the best meal we've ever had. Beats Northcote Manor and 3 Fishes by a country mile Staff and manager are smashing and the fact they are dog friendly too adds to the charm of the place. Will definitely return and bring friends and family

Booked a small trip away due to the good weather. Wanted to try somewhere outside of Whalley. Other than car parking the entire experience was wonderful. The food, service and location…..a delight. But to put the top hat on it we met an old friend in Andrew running the place…he is just about getting on top of his trade!!!!! He’s done it for a few years mind!!! Just go…..superb. Rob and Julie
