‘Awesome, amazing!’ Parkers Arms overjoyed after being voted best gastropub in the north
25.01.2022 - 15:08 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
The owners of the award-winning Parkers Arms in the Ribble Valley have spoken of their joy at having been voted the best gastropub in the north.
The pub, just outside Clitheroe, was named the second best in the UK at the Top 50 Gastropubs awards in Manchester yesterday.

Four of the top five pubs this year are in the north, with The Parkers joined by The Star Inn in Harome, The Angel at Hetton, near Skipton, and the Freemasons at Wiswell, also near Clitheroe.
“There were points at the very, very beginning of lockdown when I was worried about the business, but then when we sat down and thought about it, we realised that we had to find a way through it, and I wasn’t worried anymore,” she added.
“It’s taught us that we will always survive and find a way, so we adapted. We did takeaway, we did meal boxes, we hosted people in marquees outside. We did
