The Craven Heifer

Nestled deep in the heart of the Ribble Valley, this former nightclub has shed its bling & morphed into a handsome pub with exceptional grub. Battered leather sofas, a glowing stove the size of a small shed, jugs of fresh flowers & a chalkboard menu add to the warm vibe in the bar, but if you’re looking for a more reserved atmosphere, there’s a more formal dining room on the premises. Meanwhile, the imaginative use of top quality, local ingredients makes it hard to choose – you can do no worse than homemade black pudding with bacon, apple & potato hash to start, followed by Bowland lamb hot-pot with crusty bread & pickled red cabbage. The wine list is also impressive & a couple of local beers on tap will ensure a truly cheery experience.
