Not only that but the Hesketh was crowned 'Britain's Best Food Pub' by its brewery, Star Pubs and Bars, last October. It well and truly is an award winning pub!
Since 1864, the Hesketh has welcomed a great local crowd and enjoys wonderful community rapport. With reclaimed oak panelling and stunning antique bric-a-brac sympathetic to its 1860’s Heritage, the pub maintains traditional charm but with a contemporary twist.
Built by the Hesketh family in the 1880's to replace the old village inn, 'The Horse & Jockey', the Tavern has always been fondly loved by locals and travellers alike.
Drinkers can relax in the cosy bar lounge in front of the open fire whilst diners have the choice of the original ‘Tavern’ area or the newly built and beautifully decorated ‘Barn’ with forty covers, a perfect space for functions.
The huge award-winning gardens provide seating for some two hundred people. Parents can keep a close eye whilst their children enjoy the enclosed play trail, running the full length of the beer garden.

Opted for the Roast Beef Dinner. Massive Yorkshire pudding and a good plate of food. Nice gravey too. A thumbs up from me.
Fantastic pub, with a great selection of drinks and although the menu is quite small, the food is simply wonderful. The sirloin steak was absolutely delicious!
It’s a difficult one to review this. The food is good and the staff are great 👍 and they cater very well for gluten free. Also the pub is lovely and inviting and warm. The problem is that they can’t get the carvery right. It just takes too long to get served. Understand it’s Sunday and you are busy - but sort it out, maybe put more staff on behind the counter 21mins we stood in a queue for food which is too long.
Lovely pub inside and out. Food on the carvery is really good quality. Made the mistake of getting too much! But it was awesome. Lamb shank and beef were to die for.
The Hesketh experience just gets better and better. This time not only was the food amazing, our waiter has been superb, walking the extra mile every time despite it being a very busy moment (NYDay) , the chef was very flexible and kind, offering to cook me the veggies from scratch to make it suitable for vegans, they made an amazing vegan pizza (see picture) I can't be thank them enough for the service and the food.
