A Ribble Valley pub with a menu of comforting country pub food and a cracking beer garden is our Pub of the Week.
The Lord Nelson, in Whalley Old Road, Langho, has been run by husband-and-wife team Darren and Angela Wilkinson for the past 10 years.
Operating as a B&B alongside the pub, it has built a stellar reputation for its food, atmosphere and drinks.
We caught up with Darren.
Introduce yourself
I'm Darren, and I am the landlord, along with my wife, Angela, and we've been here for 10 years.
How has it been going?
Yeah, business is good. We do food Thursday to Sunday. We have three en suite rooms and do bed and breakfast. We have a nice local clientele and walkers and visitors to the Ribble Valley.
What is the food like?
It is classic country pub food. Everything is homemade in-house. The garlic mushrooms and steak pie are popular.
We do typical classics.
What have you got on the line-up?
We sell Bowland Brewery, which is the Hen Harrier and the Boxer Blonde, so one light, one dark. We have five lagers; we've got an Aspel cider and extra-cold Guinness.
What is the beer garden like?
A lovely big beer garden with benches. We have five TVs inside and one outside and a big gazebo out there.
