The Cartford Inn

The Cartford Inn Award winning Hotel, Bar & Restaurant, 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 co

mmunity is a core component of the crafted experiences we provide our guests through our food, our décor and our people.

On Saturday night, we had the pleasure of hosting food writer Sudi Pigott at The Cartford, to celebrate the launch of her brilliant new book, Consider the Anchovy.

And consider it we did. Patrick put together a three-course menu built entirely around the anchovy - with an obligatory nod to Lancashire and France along the way, naturally.

It was a pleasure to host Sudi, and equally to share the room with so many like-minded people - proper foodie nerds, for lack of a better term.

Thank you to everyone who joined us! 🎣

We’ve got news!

Our new à la carte menu drops this Friday (tomorrow) and it’s the most significant change we’ve made in quite some time. 

More exciting changes from our kitchen are on their way over the coming weeks, but for now, take a look at the new menu - It’s a good one!

Well, there you have it. After 14 years, Danny boy has officially left the building.

He is, in every sense, synonymous with this place. Often the first through the door in the morning, last to leave in the evening - the face (and the quiff) that greeted you on the way in, and sent you on your way at the end of the night. He’s been part of almost every chapter of The Cartford: the highs, the lows, and all the colourful stuff in between. If you wanted a case study in what a career in hospitality can look like when you give it everything - Danny is it.

He walked through our doors as a slightly undernourished, wide-eyed 19-year-old; he leaves older, wiser, about 2lbs heavier, and with hard-won knowledge that very few people his age can claim.

And he’s not exactly hanging about. Danny heads off to pursue something of his own - as co-founder of alongside his friend Tyler, opening this Summer. If his record here is anything to go by, it’ll do just fine.

All the best, Danny. It’s been a privilege.

Summer has officially arrived! (allegedly)

While we can’t guarantee the solstice delivers on its promise, brighter days at The Cartford are something we can assure you of ☀️🌸🧡

CONSIDER THE ANCHOVY 🎣

She’s small, salty, divisive. No, not your mother-in-law, we are of course talking about the humble anchovy, an ingredient we believe to be greatly misunderstood and underappreciated.

An opinion shared by the wonderfully talented , who has gone as far as to write an entire book about the little fish. Consider the Anchovy has earned rave reviews from some of the country’s most respected food voices, including Heston Blumenthal, Giles Coren, and Claudia Rosen. It’s an anchovy odyssey, and it’s currently taking Sudi on tour across the UK.

This Saturday, we’re proud to be playing host at The Cartford, and we’re not doing things by halves. Sudi will be joining us for an evening of conversation, stories, and a three-course anchovy-inspired menu designed to make even the most committed sceptic a convert.

🐟 Saturday 6th June, 6:30pm (a week today)
📍 The River House, The Cartford Inn
