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.

    The Freemasons at Wiswell is an outstanding experience. The location, ambience, service, quality & presentation of food, not forgetting value is second to none. What is unique and commendable about the Freemasons, is that despite it providing the most incredible and delicious food, certainly within the region, it does so in the most relaxed, enjoyable, yet professional manner. It is, without doubt, the perfect dining experience. I cannot recommend the Freemasons highly enough. Try it... you will not be disappointed!

    It’s a beautiful spot - comfy seating & a delightfully relaxed atmosphere. The food was fabulous. Also the staff waiting on, were very professional & charming. Where we felt let down was firstly on arrival when we were shown to our table but were not offered a drink or water nor did we have the menu explained so we were left a bit bemused. And finally at the end of a lovely lunch we were again left hanging. We just wanted to have the bill & go but it took ages to get anyone’s attention.
