About Us
Nestled at the foot of Pendle the Calf's Head is a Country House Hotel, Restaurant and Watering Hole with a history stretching back at least 400 years. The current building was built in late Victorian times replacing an ale farmhouse on the site. Part of the cellar is from that original building. It remained attached to a working farm up until the 1950's.

In 1998 the hotel was scheduled to be closed and converted to a private residence when the current owners bought the premises. It has become a very popular Ribble Valley location and 10 years on the owners continue to give it their personal attention.

The hotel now has eleven en suite quality letting bedrooms individually appointed.

Facilities exist for wedding receptions including civil ceremonies, private parties and functions.

Dining at the Calf's Head is as varied as most could wish, for both resident and non-resident clientele. An extensive menu is served in either formal restaurant surroundings or the more relaxed 60 plus cover "Glass House" or the bar area. Given a nice day you can even eat outside on the large decking area or in the extensive garden with its stream and beautiful views across to Pendle Hill.

The food on offer using local produce where possible, ranges from the traditional to an international flavour. With a team of chefs we are able to provide special dietary foods as well as vegetarian and vegan dishes. If you are around on a Sunday then you can enjoy a three course carvery from 12-3.00pm but booking for this is essential.

Abundant in walking opportunities, the surrounding countryside provides for the gentle stroll or the more severe fell climb. Just two miles from the castle town of Clitheroe the Calf's Head can be easily accessed and provides an excellent base for touring local attractions and further afield to the Lakes, Dales and the coast.
