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 the owners continue to give it their personal
attention.
The
hotel now has eleven en suite letting bedrooms recently totally
refurbished to a high quality.
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" both non-smoking. For
those wishing to smoke, meals can be taken in the bar area. Given a nice day you can even
eat in the large garden with its stream and beautiful views.
The food on offer 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 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.
