In the breathtakingly picturesque village of Cawthorne, there are many notable historic monuments and one such 18th century building houses the Spencer Arms, a delightful local pub which is popular for its welcoming atmosphere, appetising food and drinks. While the exterior still bears an old world charm, inside everything has been refurbished to make way for a more comfortable and contemporary ambience. Fresh, local produce goes into the making of many of the classics which emerge from the kitchen and a subtle French twist to the dishes is not without appreciation.

The à la carte could offer starters of warm duck confit on a new potato and bean salad, followed by a main course of roasted sea bass and green lip mussels served on Mediterranean vegetables risotto and a red wine sauce. Finally, there are some delectable confections such as chocolate truffle with black cherries topped with a hazelnut meringue and the selection of local real ales should meet your requirements more than adequately.
