Whalley Restaurant Guide

Three Fishes, The

Featured Restaurant

Owned by Nigel Haworth and Craig Bancroft of Northcote Manor fame and described as "a pub as it would have been 40 years ago", but with the vital addition of an excellent tastebud-tickling menu. The survivals include traditional slate floors, a medley of mellowed wooden furniture and log fires, as Granny used to say, 'with heart'.

Freemason's Arms

The gastronomic haven that has always been known to insiders has, in recent years, become much better known, which is good news for them if not for the rest of us struggling to find reservations. In part this revelation has come about as a result of the arrival of the gastropub, a generic term that has a wide interpretation.

Renaissance

A new addition to the centre of Plymouth where it offers a refuge from the stresses and strains of the main city shopping centre. Indeed the décor does somewhat resemble an oasis, with palms, lilies and more than a whiff of our colonial past.
