Parkers Arms

Top choice in Northwest England


This unspoilt village pub is where you'll find the simply exceptional cooking of terroir chef Stosie Madi. She's best known for her superb pies, but her menus – which change up to twice daily depending on what's available – explore the very best of Lancashire cuisine, from Newton venison with local bramble and unpasteurised cheese to a superb Lancashire hotpot.
