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.

    Booked the Freemason’s Arms for my partners Birthday and it did not disappoint. As soon as we arrived Andrew greeted us and wished my OH a Happy Birthday then appeared shortly after with a lovely card! Snacks arrived soon after and were delicious… we visited on a Sunday so had the 3 course menu and everything was superb, probably one of the best meals we have had (and that’s saying something as we eat out a lot!). The pub itself is in a lovely location and the sun was shining so after we had eaten, we sat out at the front to finish our drinks. The staff were attentive, friendly and polite and as mentioned the food was excellent. We will definitely be back and would recommend a visit to The Freemasons Arms!

    Such a lovely few hours eating excellent food in comfortable surroundings, with attentive, but not overbearing service. Welcomed front of house by Andrew, like we were old friends, this set the scene for the of our meal. Our third visit here, and hopefully not our last. Lovely little touch to receive a handwritten birthday card from The Freemasons, too.

    We’ve been to The Freemasons many times. It’s a 75 minute journey for us but never disappoints. Superb food and service and at a price which puts many inferior establishments to shame. We’ll keep on coming back for the outstanding restaurant

    Absolutely amazing food and service, we chose the Spring Set Menu and it was all delicious. We attended as a joint birthday celebration and the staff went out hero way to make it special for us; with a personalised birthday card and some sweet treats afterwards. We will be returning soon!

    Amazing food - the mini macarons at the start were incredible! Service was amazing, the team couldn’t be more accommodating of us and our dog.

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