Nigel said: “I have continued to champion seasonal local produce which is so readily on our doorstep. The classic dishes such as our award-winning Lancashire Hotpot and Cheese and Onion Pie are still firmly on the menu, but I wanted to spice things up a bit. Blackburn is a town full of tradition with a multi-cultural community which I have tried to embrace in some of the new dishes.”

The original portraits of local suppliers located around the pub are now joined by some modern custom designed artwork on the walls. Nicholas Saunders a North West artist has captured elements of the history of Blackburn and the pub, previously known as The Bay Horse.
