Award winning restaurant with rooms in Lancashire, nurtured by Julie and Patrick Beaumé with a little help from their friends.

At the heart of rural Lancashire…

The Cartford Inn, originally a 17th century coaching inn located at the historic crossing of the River Wyre, is a multi award-winning pub, restaurant and boutique hotel. Our location boasts enviable views of the surrounding Fylde countryside, looking across to the quietly beautiful Bowland fells. As a rural business, preserving our environment, its culture and community is a core component of the crafted experiences we provide our guests through our food, our décor and our people.

Spooky Season: ON 🎃👻

As you can see, Halloween has well and truly arrived at The Cartford, and the team have been getting into the spirit of things. Participation was, of course, entirely compulsory.

There’s plenty going on this weekend, too. This Friday evening, we’ve conjured up a Halloween-inspired specials menu , with a few frightfully good dishes making an appearance alongside our usual menus.

Our annual staff pumpkin carving competition is also underway, with the finished masterpieces (a term we use loosely) on display from Friday evening and throughout the weekend.

We hope to see you over the weekend, folks! 🎃
