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.

Mis-managed gluten free (coeliac) customer, first by serving unidentifiable beer, then combining GF bread roll with non GF roll stating “both gluten free”. Then admitted only one was. No confidence GF understood or respected by management, couldn’t risk being ‘poisoned’ by the menu, so left. It’s 2024.

Fabulous food and service as always, Andrew went above and beyond providing umbrella's as there was a heavy downpour as we were leaving. Would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant always a pleasure to visit.

Nothing short of excellent, a dining experience beyond compare! We both opted for the tasting menu (highly recommended!), and were treated to 7 courses of gastronomy, from the ‘cruffin’ and ‘treats’ to start, through to the soup (wild mushroom), fish (salmon with gazpacho) and beef (sirloin, bbq cheek and tongue) courses finishing with pavlova and a chocolate ‘teacake’, every course was a delight to taste. The Freemasons is and rightly so a gastronomical venue worthy of at least one visit but you’ll definitely be back as we will be!

Just what you want on a late summer evening, a pint sat outside in the sun, and then a great meal put in front of you. The croquette’s were a fabulous amuse-bouche and then onto a delightfully light rabbit bolognaise and an equally light quiche. My wife’s chicken was exceptional and the beef pudding sat on a fantastic gravy and red cabbage, not exactly seasonal but nonetheless superb. You don’t often get this quality for the set menu price, worth every penny.

No sign of any dip in standards or quality since the esteemed Mr Smith’s departure. Food outstanding as usual and the presentation faultless. An excellent experience overall
