A MOTHER and daughter team have opened up a new restaurant above the pub where they work.

Louise Hargreaves and mum Angela have launched the eaterie above The Greenfield, off Cranberry Lane in Darwen

Louise and partner Barry Bentley have owned the Lower Barn Street pub for three years.

But landlady Louise had always had her heart set on offering food, since taking on the premises directly last September.

An extensive refit upstairs has created an inviting eaterie and everything from traditional home-cooked specials and weekend breakfasts to Sunday lunches is now on offer.

"My mum and I used to do the food at the Red Lion, in Blacksnape, and we always wanted to do the same when we took on The Greenfield," said Louise.

Now she is marshalling the 'front-of-house' while mum Angela is responsible for the kitchen.
