Erected in 1896, this restaurant was originally named The River Wyre Hotel. Historical records indicate that it played host to several illustrious patrons. In a bygone era, King Edward VII was known to frequent these quarters, often seen enjoying a drink in the company of gentlemen. The 1940s also witnessed the regular visits of British stage and film acting couple, Barry Barnes and Diana Churchill. Nearby Fleetwood, believed to be the inaugural planned town of the Victorian era, boasts a rich history and continues to draw visitors to this day. Now, it’s a member of the esteemed Vintage Inns chain.
The River Wyre presents a menu that celebrates hearty classics and beloved country pub traditions in the timeless Vintage Inns fashion. Among these cherished offerings, the steak and mushroom pie and the beloved beer-battered fish and chips stand out. For those with a sense of culinary adventure, the ever-changing seasonal surprises promise a great experience, embracing unique flavours and creations.
The all-day menu features a wide array of British favourites. Start your meal with smoked mackerel pate paired with horseradish creme fraiche and toasted bread, or indulge in slow-roasted tomato arancini. The menu also offers oven-baked chicken breast atop a bed of spinach, draped in a wild mushroom and garlic sauce, crowned with streaky bacon and melted mozzarella, served with skin-on fries.
