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.

Andrew and crew were fantastic nothing was too much trouble including a little cake with candles for the birthday boy ! Food and service was top class as usual, you are a credit to your profession and I would give you a 5 star recommendation. Thanks to all. Paul Williams

    Love this venue! However, choosing a roast dinner option from the seasonal menu was a little disappointing…hate to say it. It just felt a little ordinary compared to other options. A learn for next time.

    Mix feelings about the meal. The service was good but everything felt very rushed. We were given snacks before we ordered, one was a pot of something and we didn’t know what it was and no one told us, then a very greasy Cronut and a cold croquette. Whilst trying to work out what everything was we were asked to order whilst also order and taste wine. Asked for five more minutes and then ordered but starters arrived so soon after. Mains came immediately after too. We were out for a birthday so wanted to make the most of the evening. Asked for a break before puddings but he put them through anyway and they came quickly after. Overall service was great though, great wine recommendations. The pate starter was like no pate I’d ever had, was more of a terrine with big chunks of fat. Apparently the ragu was great. Cod main was an amazing piece of fish cooked very well, also great comments on the turkey. But all very rich. Puddings were lovely. Overall a tough one to rate, some things just felt off.
