Food and Drink

Table service for both food and drinks in the Bar & Kitchen in Rossendale, we recommend booking as we can’t guarantee tables will be available.

Special Diets / Allergens

We cannot guarantee that any of our dishes on our menu are totally free from nuts, nut derivatives or other ingredients to which guests may have a serious allergic reaction as we cannot operate in a nut free environment. We would therefore advise guests with a severe allergy to nuts or other ingredients to talk to us directly so that we can make arrangements and suggest alternatives for a meal that would accommodate their requirements.
