The setting is superb. Ancient woodlands and the picturesque River Yarrow flowing through serenely makes Nineteen Duxbury Park a stunning location while the stylish and sophisticated interior rounds off the dining experience remarkably. Of course the food is delicious - classics rendered in a simple fashion so that flavours emerge clearly - and the bar adds another dimension to your evening where you can relax with a drink and enjoy the spectacular scenery.

A look at the menu might reveal starters of poached apple and Blacksticks Blue salad with wholegrain mustard dressing and crisp Lancashire smoked pancetta. It could be followed by a main course of Johnson and Swarbrick duck breast with parsnip mash, braised beetroot and plum jus or a hearty 10oz rib eye steak with shallot rings and cheese fondue. Finally, give in to your calorific longings with the triple chocolate fudge brownie with clotted cream. The bar menu provides casual dining while the options for children offer great value.
