Enjoying retirement
In The Red Rose County
In the Estrella Damm Top 100 Gastro Pubs just announced within the Top 5 are two local to Clitheroe and two in Yorkshire within a short drive. All in all 14 out of the 100 pubs on the list are from Lancashire, Yorkshire or Cheshire. Great stuff. Number 2 on the list is The Parker's Arms "Possibly the most idyllic pub on the Estrella Damm Top 50 Gastropubs list, the Parkers Arms in Newton-in-Bowland, Lancashire, is a real treat. Madi and Smith took on the Parkers Arms in 2007 and have amassed an equally adoring local and national following, with gourmands travelling on occasion the length and breadth of the country to sample Madi’s cooking. The food here is honest, putting flavour and experience above all else, which should always be the case. This is a true gastropub, taking pride in the local produce – foraged and sourced – from the surroundings and the best suppliers." And Number 5 is The Freemasons Arms at Wiswell. At Number 26 sits The White Swan at Fence also local to here. "Wit surrounds an elegant menu and interior at the White Swan, which is apparent from the pub’s website that describes chef Parker thus: “This is Tom. Among other things, Tom is very good at chopping chives. Tom cooks your food. Be like Tom.” Tom’s skills at chopping chives extend further into the kitchen and it’s clear he devotes all his attention and energies towards curating a handsome and clever menu at the Michelin-starred pub." And at 39 within walking distance, The Higher Buck at Waddington.
